Subject: KILLER pull-up variation for wider lats (this is a tough one!)
If you want to develop wider lats, you do wide-grip pull-ups. And if you want wide-grip pull-ups to work even BETTER for developing wider lats, you do THIS exercise.
This unique setup changes the orientation of your grip from horizontal to vertical.
Changing the grip like this takes the biceps almost completely out of the exercise, forcing all of the tension onto the lats, specifically the outermost fibers of the lats, exactly where you WANT the tension to go.
This is an advanced exercise that requires good "normal" pull-up strength to perform. It will challenge your grip strongly, as well as your lats.
