Lats

Messin around with a variety of movements. I’m having a hard time finding a go to exercise, one that I can build my routine upon. It just feels really inconsistent. The problem is that weight doesn’t necesserily transfer into muscle, at least not as much as other muscle groups, so I cant simply add weight and keep going.
