Then the arm pulls in to fully contract the lat. Most people just grab heavy weight and just pull on that shit, which accomplishes nothing, except for bit of a bicep pump.
I see this a lot; the lat itself won't actually work if the weight is too heavy.
I surf a huge amount and swim a lot; does wonders for those wings as do the correct rows and pull ups.

A quick story on supplements; I was a hard gainer; took supplements, creatinr, all sorts (all legal, nothing too severe); zero results. Just got more toned.
Then I discovered the joys of proper MMF training; my appetite naturally shot up, my gains were very rapid both in size and strength.
My budget was low as I was a student so I just stuffed myself with fairly cheap but good food. I gained three stone in 18 months and my max lifts shot up.

So when I see guys guzzling shakes during a workout, guys who aren't in good shape, I can't help but smile.

Eat well but don't obsess; it's almost all about the workouts. Your appetite will follow.
