Have you ever wondered how some guys have a V-tapered look from developing and building wide lats and you wish you could have that sort of back development? Well it is not as difficult as you may think.
Often times magazines like Cosmopolitan and other magazines geared to a female audience take surveys asking, "What is the sexiest body part in a man?" Pay close attention and you will see that a man with a strong back is always near the top of the list.
So what does it take to develop a strong back? If you are interested in having a great upper body then do not neglect your back muscles.
Among the best exercises for having a strong back and building wide lats are the following exercises.
The best range of repetitions is in the area of 6-10 and 4 sets for each exercise.
For the pull-ups do as many as you can even that means only one or two per set.
Use these exercises on a day that you are working on your back.
These exercises will definitely help in building wide lats and give you a V-taper that others will notice as you walk away.

Among the best exercises for having a strong back and building wide lats are the following exercises.
- Wide grip pull-ups: This exercise is the best in my book if you want the V-taper back.
Hang from an overhead bar with your feet off the floor and a wider than shoulder grip.
Pull yourself up by using the back muscles and try to have your chin at bar level.
At the top squeeze the shoulder blades and slowly lower yourself until your arms are nearly straight.
If you cannot perform more than one do not get discouraged, slowly build up your repetitions. - Wide grip pull downs: This exercise is similar to a pull up except that it is performed on a pull down machine.
Have your knees locked underneath the pads that hold you down in your seat.
Use a grip like the wide grip pull-ups and lower the bar to the level of your clavicle.
Repeat. - Dumbbell Rows: Another excellent exercise for the lats.
Use a bench to rest your knee and hand.
The hand that holds the dumbbell will be the one opposite of the hand on the bench.
Keep your back straight and look forward as you perform the exercise.
Bring the dumbbell up until the upper arm is parallel to the floor.
Slowly lower the arm and repeat.
The best range of repetitions is in the area of 6-10 and 4 sets for each exercise.
For the pull-ups do as many as you can even that means only one or two per set.
