Especially for the long run damage it could cause.Not saying my way is right.Only what I do and how I feel aboit it brother.You do you.Lol

Were did you see only delts????

I can't reach my lat very well and my pec cramps up too.

Pec
Delt
Upper glute
VG
Upper, outter, lower quad

Traps aren't bad just not a go to for me.

Yup, I'm a lat man, myself. Just like the other guys, the glutes can take a beating over the years. They are a no go for me, but the lats are fantastic. I still remember the first time hitting those virgin lats, it was fantastic, smooth, no pain, no scare tissue.

Thanks for the reply.Sorry about the glutes with you as well.Man, ive never had issues with glutes thank God.Do you take breaks from gear? Ive always cycled off giving my body time to reboot, recover and rebound so I guess thafs what helped me with the lack of permenant scar tissue?

How I do them is I stand in front of a mirror and pull one arm across my body so I can see my lat on that side in the mirror.I swab it up and poke! That easy.

Gets tough rotating the same spots over and over, so it just gives you another location before rotating back to the usual ones, i.e., pecs, delts, glutes, etc.

Lats is my #1 ever since someone called me Mini-Dorian Yates, I developed several back routines, for the widest lats around I swear by starting with 3x wide pull downs when I get to bent over rows I start with 3x wide bent over rows, for the thickness close grip starts the routines, I LOVE heavy muscle tearing bent over rows barbell and single arm Dumbell After, I love seating cable rows neutral and close grip. There's just SO much you can do man. When everyone starts their routines with chest im doing back to start.

Thanks for the reply my brother but I was talking about "pinning" lats.lol

I use pecs, delts and occasionally triceps although it's pretty awkward sometimes to hit triceps.

Wow.Never thought of tri's before.What pin you using for them? All mine are either 23gx 1 or 23gx 1 1/2.Never needed anything else.

23ga x 1 inch. Triceps isn't too bad, just let your arm hang down nice and relaxed.
