Bruce Lee famous ‘Cobra Lats’

Recall Bruce Lee’s famous Cobra Lats (latissimus dorsi) in the movie Way of the Dragon.

Well I’ve always been a skinny lad, and I’ve been working hard these few months for a tapered V-shape look and hopefully something close enough Bruce Lee’s lats.

Here’s what I’ve been doing so far:

1) Lat pull downs – compound (10%)

Anchor myself firmly, feet flat, at the pull down machine.
Executing good form by pulling down the bar to my chest, never behind the head.

2) Pull-ups – compound (70%)

I do this several reps combined into several sets
I know I’m doing it right, if my upper body is pumped.
Your standard and mine varies, so I won’t provide the reps/sets figures

3) Finger Pushups – compound (10%)

Gives an overall nice touch to my body.
Chest development.
Strengthen my sprinting grip and posture.

4) Rowing – compound (10%)

I mainly use dumbbell rows
Or you can use seated mid-row machine,.
Remember to squeeze your shoulder blades.

You can also try these other lats training, which I do sparingly.

1. Bent-over row (compound)
2. Pull-over (single-joint)
3. Deadlift (compound)
4. T-bar Row (compound)
