Episode 136: Back Growth Masterclass: How to Build Bigger, Wider Lats

from Iron Summit · host Ryan Deakin and Max Wessell

Most lifters think back growth is just about doing more rows, but building wide, dense lats comes down to biomechanics. In this episode, we break down the science of back training using N1 principles, covering lat anatomy, vertical vs. horizontal pulling, scapular mechanics, the importance of the lengthened position, and why weighted pull-ups may be the single best exercise for building a bigger back. Whether your goal is more width, thickness, or overall strength, this episode gives you a practical blueprint for maximizing lat development.
