Go to the bathroom, take off your shirt, use your phone camera as a mirror or use a regular mirror so you can see your back. Now flex your back muscles in different positions, hands over head, to the side, etc, and really hone in on that mind muscle connection. Feel and see what it looks like when your back muscles fire correctly. We don't see our backs so that mind muscle connection is weak. Seeing your back muscles is the secret.

“Pull your elbow to your back pocket” and “shoulder blade down and back” are my go-to lat cues. That first one, if you do it right, will just straight up make your lat cramp. *edit: Cramping is almost equal to “Active Insufficiency” which happens when a two-joint or multi-joint muscle activated two or more of its functions and happens more often in weak, shortened, or dehydrated musculature. So remember kids, stay hydrated!

I think the single greatest tip I found to help activate lats was to really think of your pull coming from your elbow, instead of just simply ‘pulling the weight with your hand’. I actually imagine I don’t even have a hand or forearm during these exercises, imagine if the weight was being tied/gripped by my elbow somehow, it’s really helped activate lats instead of traps and delts! The SAME idea and tip can be used for pull up/chin ups, seated rows, lat pull downs etc. pull with your elbows, not with your hands!

Honestly, adding pauses is a good thing to a lot of lifts actually, not only because it makes sure that you have more controll it also reduces momentum, activates more muscles responsible for stabilisation and helps in overall muscle growth. A bit of momentum, can be used when trainig to absolute failure to squeze out a few more reps - but it's not a thing for novices really.

If you don’t feel your lats then my tip for all rowing motions: no weights and let someone push against your elbow while doing the aimed motion- like a lat pull down.

Tyler Path has a really interesting row technique that absolutely forces you to engage your lats… instead of going straight up and down, he swoops the dumbbell forward toward the end of the downward movement, and then back and up at the same time.
