Working lats without weights

[laceknator]

Hey can anyone tell me some workouts I can do at home without weights to build lats while im out of the gym? thanks

pull ups...

No pull up bar

 

[Hoss]

pullups on the side of the roof. you'll look like a badass, if you can do more than 5 lol

 

[laceknator]

hahaha, my record is 14 but that was a while ago. On the roof? damn, any other exercises?

Dude pullup bars are pretty cheap and easy to install, most sporting stores have them for 20 bucks or so

 

[laceknator]

Well I will most likely buy one than, but it is 11 o clock and I need to work on my body width.

Try going off a balcony or railing, or roof. Just make sure the ground isn't too far away.

You could throw a rope ot towel over a branch. I saw Ross Enemait doing these. He's a serious badazz.

 

[LeiYunFat]

Cynic, have you tried those doorknob rows?

 

[Cynic]

Doorknob rows? I'm pretty sure I haven't since I've never seen them.

 

[LeiYunFat]

I'm pretty sure Ross Enemait had those in one of his books...

Anyway, you get a towel and put it around a doorknob. When you lean against it, putting your weight on the doorknob, you do alternate rows. I've never done them, but they're a lat exercise.

Lei,

I'd rip the doorknob off if I tried that

another vote for pull-ups...the god of lat exercises.

 

[LeiYunFat]

That's what I was thinking too. That, or the door would just fall off.

Haha I guess Pullups are the favorite "ghetto" or not haha now to make sure I know what I'm talking about, Kat's are the muscles underneat your armpits on your side, basically if you have huge lats you look like a freakin gorilla.
