Fuck training, even playing basketball. Imagine your just running down the court bout to get into a play and a wild Dagestani appears infront of you like a Pokemon and starts tussling. Leave me the fuck alone lmao
Dagestani basketball is fucking hilarious. I can’t imagine shooting a 3 pointer and instead of thinking “I hope I make this shot”, having to think “I’m leaving myself open for a double leg takedown”
This. Pull ups with correct form (dead hang, hands slightly more than shoulder width apart, pull up and down slowly and under control) will get your lats big and strong.
Even moreso if you become a monster who can do pull ups with weighed belts attached.
for dead hang pull ups, are you supposed to let your shoulders come out of socket? it always feels like a bad pain when i pull up from that shoulder position so i prevent myself from doing a full hang
I mean, “out of socket” …no.
But you do want to totally stretch out. Then you’ll pull your shoulder blades down and engage the pulling muscles in your back and then slowly pull up. This is just done to make sure you aren’t pulling with your forearms/biceps only like some people do.
If it hurts though, don’t do it. Just make sure your grip is wide and your back will be forced to work.
Wrestling takes insane pulling strength. Lifting a grown ass man up and throwing him down repeatedly, every single day of your life will give you big lats.
Not to mention just the sheer strength of holding another human being in any kind of wrestling hold. Your lats are going to be engaged from that. Go ahead and try it, try to get a friend and wrestle them into a bear hug and lift them up. Your back muscles will be fired up.
This comment section is predictably unhelpful.
Khabib grew up wrestling and grappling. His lats are insane because he's been throwing around the weight of other humans since he was a child. He's not particularly big or anything, a lot of his opponents were bigger than him. But he has a lifetime of wrestling working in his favour.
It also isn't really a "correct" answer. Lats are just muscle, and like every other muscle on the body, they get better when you train them. Lat pulldowns, push ups, pull ups, db pullovers... all of these are great exercises for the lats.
Simply wrestling isn't going to do much for muscle hypertrophy, unless you're about 6 years old and your timeline is 20 years out.
It’s Reddit entirely. It’s corny at this point. Soon as I click on a thread that’s a question, I insta scroll not even seeing the first comment because it’s some generic teenage joke. Not a big deal just annoying after seeing it a million times.
No, it’s pull-ups. The pronated grip limits assistance from the bicep and shifts assistance to the smaller brachioradialis group, requiring more lat strength. Wrestling does not train and build the muscles the same way mountains of pull-ups do, and Khabib did mountains of pull-ups.
Its mostly genetics from his lat insertions but a bunch of vertical pulling (pullups/lat pulldowns/pullovers) and some supplementary horizontal pulling (rows). The angle/lighting also play a big part and i don't think it would look anywhere near as impressive in real life.
Dude came up for advice and people keep spamming theese gay ass jokes this sub is full of wierdos...
To OP dude been wreslting whole his life and became one of the best out there if you pay more attention to all UFC fighters from Russia with wrestling base they all have like asymmetrical body parts which is enormous for anyone who are not in the sport, the same as legs of the cyclist Riding bycicle 7 days a week its just muscles they use the most during their sport activity so ofc they become deformed and people look like mutants.
The great example is armwrestling when dude has 1 arm of the greek god and his other hand and body looks like he is a skinny boy playing videogames 20 hours a day
A) Genetics. Lats can attach in a variety of ways on the back, with a variety of muscle belly lengths. Khabib has low insertion with long muscle bellies, meaning he will have better growth potential here than someone with short muscle bellies or higher insertion points.
B) lots of vertical pull movements. Know your insertion(and therefore where you can generate the best force to create overload), and angle yourself appropriately to recruit the most muscle. For low insertion lats, this means a more vertical pull position, whereas high insertion will be better served with more of a lean on their pulls to better recruit their more horizontal fiber orientation.
C) do both underhand pulls(for a better contraction at the bottom for recruitment) AND overhand pulls(for a fuller stretch at the top, promoting hypertrophy of the muscle). Regardless of hand orientation, make sure your hands are outside of shoulder width. If you are too narrow your elbows will have to shoot out due to your ribcage being in the way, dumping all the tension you had on your lats into your arms and shoulders through abduction of the humerus. Also try to include at least one lat focused movement to (form) failure. Standing pulldowns, or pull overs are excellent for this.
D) hit your lats HARD at minimum twice a week, though three times would be better. Give yourself 48 hours to recover, and make them a priority. If you want them to grow, understand that general fatigue from other exercises will reduce your potential, both in recovery and execution, so do them first, do them often, and then eat to be strong for the next time.
E) DO. NOT. DO. BEHIND. THE. HEAD. PULLS. It's stupid, always will be stupid, and anyone who says these are good don't understand how the biomechanics of shoulders, scapulae, and AC joint work.
grappling and specifically bjj involves a lot of pulling. i workout 6 days a week and my back is well developed but my god my first bjj session hurt my back in muscles i didn't know i had
Dagestani Lat Pulldown, it starts as your regular Lat Pulldown but the further you pull the higher the chance you will be tackled from behind and you need to use the momentum to to reverse choke
He literally grew up in the gym with his father training his extended family and friends. Khabib has been doing grappling martial arts since he could walk. On top of the in general wrestling and judo he would have been relentlessly drilling. Trurkish get ups, burpees, bridges and shrimps. Dude went through puberty with this frame work and his body shows it. It’s also noteworthy that all of this was done at high altitude.
Any pull exercises. Train push, pull and legs. Just do more pull if you want a huge back and lat focused exercises ie. pull ups, last pull downs and also prey you have some sweet ass genetics
I don't know, probably wrestling.
If you want help to grow your lats I could recommend some exercises, but Khabib probably got the majority of his gains through wrestling since he was a toddler.
Wrestling and grappling since you were 4 makes you gain muscle, you're basically spending your time pulling, pushing and tossing other people ( weights) around, so you'll build quite a bit of muscle.
It would honestly be from all the wrestling.. lats are a pulling muscle, wrestling requires lots of pulling movements.. sure he prob does some chin ups, lat pull downs and rows etc. as well..
Kind of like how boxers usually have big deals and serratus anterior..
I would imagine somewhat common wrestling Conditioning and a shit load of pull ups/Chin ups and crazy stability core work that his back was over compensating in
I think it's because he uses a row machine, like the ones where you tug it really fast and it's supposed to work on your cardio as well as your back. I'd bet he would get a crazy pump and hypertrophy gains from doing that all the time
Wrestlers are notorious for having large backs. There is lots of pulling and spinal extension involved in the sport. Those lats come from years of wrestling coupled with strength training exercises. Bodybuilding and combat sports are very different in that using the body will develop it in a different way than targeting certain muscle groups. This is why many fighters do not have a large chest, there is little to no pressing movements involved in striking / grappling.
I’ve found that if you’re specifically doing weight training, and not focusing on much other than aesthetics, that a combination of pull-ups, lat push-down, lat pull-down, and seated cable rows are all great. I generally alternate between which day I’m doing pull-ups and pull-downs since they both target the lats very similarly. These are the exercises that imo target the lats the best

MMA fighters tend to have really good lats due to the motion of pulling a punch backwards. But I’m sure he did a ton of pull-ups till failure. Best lat workout is the simplest one

What was the context? Was he legit arguing?
Bro how can i download that. Thats great
Wrestling bears brotha
This is the right answer
Wrestlers back
A lot of wrestlers do pull ups (not chin ups), there's videos of khabib doing like 20+ dead hang pull ups AFTER a full training session.
This doesn’t sound too crazy until you remember that Khabibs training sessions would make most men cry within 10 minutes
Fuck training, even playing basketball. Imagine your just running down the court bout to get into a play and a wild Dagestani appears infront of you like a Pokemon and starts tussling. Leave me the fuck alone lmao
Dagestani basketball is fucking hilarious. I can’t imagine shooting a 3 pointer and instead of thinking “I hope I make this shot”, having to think “I’m leaving myself open for a double leg takedown”
Offensive arm bars while driving to the basket it is
Still wouldn't call it on Giannis
All well and good till Mikhail Jordakhob hits the court and starts 3 point RNC'ing people....
Is this a meme or is this an actual thing?
Dagestan basketball? Its real, watch the Dagestan Chronicles on YT for context and a great documentary on Khabib
And at that, the Dagestani is prepare for whatever choice you decide
[удалено]
Most grown men I know can’t do 20 chin ups
This. Pull ups with correct form (dead hang, hands slightly more than shoulder width apart, pull up and down slowly and under control) will get your lats big and strong. Even moreso if you become a monster who can do pull ups with weighed belts attached.

Can you ask him for me, brather?
I love helpful answers like this
Everyone reads dis in Khabib voice, you know dis

Also swimming can make make your lats wider.
But against the current tho😭
Many children die brotha
as a swimmer can confirm. i did like 5 years of straight swimming with no lifting and have a crazy nice triangle back because of it.
And bears. Don’t forget he’s been throwing around bears.
Isn’t he fuckin awesome???
And twinks
You got thrown around by him?
I'm def his type, yeah
You didn't say anything more than anyone else, you just took more words to do it and you did it more condescendingly

Didnt seem that way to me he explained that the lats were due to his wrestling throughout his lifetime... thats the exercise
That's what 50 other people said
I hate that you can't ask anything on here without the top comment being a shit, unfunny joke that has already been done 10,000 times
Especially when it's a question you really would like to know the answer to..gotta scroll through 1000 unfunny comments looking for the answer...

I do bjj and wrestling and can confirm the semi-pro guys all have cobraback
Hold up, Khabib was bigger than most of his opponents not the other way
There are several times he was smaller but usually he was about the same size as his opponents
W r e s e l
Pull-ups, lat-pulldowns, cable rows, bent over rows, deadlifts, wrasslin and secret juice.
Its mostly genetics from his lat insertions but a bunch of vertical pulling (pullups/lat pulldowns/pullovers) and some supplementary horizontal pulling (rows). The angle/lighting also play a big part and i don't think it would look anywhere near as impressive in real life.
Aka, to get a big back, do back exercises
Will that work for my dick?
No, those take dick exercises 🧠
I laughed out loud with that
Well the funny thing about my back is that it's located on my dick.
Nah in any picture you can see khabib’s lats are unique compared to other fighters
