Hey, I'm having trouble getting my lats sore. My back routine consists of lat pull downs, dumbbell rows, cable rows, dead lifts, and occasionally some form of pull ups when I can do them... But my lats don't get sore. My trapezius will get sore fairly quick, but frm mid back and down is just a no-go. I do heavy weights with lower rep range, usually. Tips?
Those are the correct lifts to do, but try doing lower weights with more repetitions. This may be just what you need. When your muscles get used to high weights and lower reps, they are shorter and more compact, primed for short bursts of energy. But when you have to do higher reps (with correct form, of course) even with lower weight, you will be forcing your muscles to work like they have not previously and you may get better results. Don’t worry, you won’t lose any strength working out like this, just be sure to intermingle heavy/low days and light/high days or weeks in your schedule. This “endurance” type of lifting will definitely get you that “burn” and “soreness”. That’s usually the rule. “When your workout style is in doubt, throw it out” Keep your muscles confused, don’t do the same things over and over. Changing your workout style will help you to be more rounded and much more fit.
