I have two body parts I struggle with adding fullness to. My pecs and my lats. I'd like to widen and thicken my lats and thicken the upper part of my pecs. That's the reason I try to do a lot of chest or back exercises.
I've been thinking about adding 3 sets of 1 chest exercise heavy on my back/sholders and legs/tricep days to try to help it thicken up.
In two weeks I'm due a workout change. I'm open to suggestions there. I was thinking of going back to either dumb bells or smith incline press/bench press next go round.
Maybe swap to dumb bell lat pulls.
I can do wide pull ups all day long, but my lats just don't get wider. I have a long torso which likely contributes.
I just found out today that I've been invited to attend a vacation with the company down to FL in April in thanks for a project I completed. 40 of us were invited. Haha, I'll be smokin'.

Smith Shrug - 315 @ 5x5 and 1 set of 225 @ 25 reps
HS Lat Pull - 200 @ 5x5
HS plate loaded bent over row - 140 @ 5x5
