I can't feel my back muscles when I workout?
I ONLY get this problem when I workout my back. Some exercises such as barbell rows, seated rows, and dumbell rows works fine for me but for others ESPECIALLY lat pulldowns and vbar pulldowns, I just can't feel my lats being worked out. Sometimes on those exercises I do feel it but many times I just don't. I make sure to do proper form such as sitting upright with my chest out, shoulders back, and back arched but I still don't have that mind to muscle connection when I do lat pulldowns. I know this is a great lat builder and to get bigger lats I need to feel it working. Any suggestions to help me better feel my lats working out?

yea man u gotta push urself i think ur going to heavy? maybe ur form isnt good that may be the case cuz if not good form then ur workout isnt gonna go to good use ya know? and if u got good form with this i suggest more sets i do 4sets per exercise and and 3 exercises for large muscle groups and 3 sets of 3 dif exercises for small muscle groups so that's a total of 21 sets all sets using 8-10reps i read ur thing that's what i do 8-10 i just thought 4-6 was best i just dont like it i like what im doing it's working im noticing gains u also may need to eat more but u dont need soreness to tell u u had a good workout just that latic acid pulsing in ur muscles after a workout that tells u if u had a good workout or not btw...what do u mean slow twitch muscles do those help strength or mass...? im assuming strength and lil mass? or does it matter as long as you eat the excess cals and protein

If you want to get really strong lats and feel them getting worked,do real pullups.
Find a pullup bar,and do 15 reps in full motion without cheating.If you can do that for 4 sets and it still doesn't make you feel a slight discomfort in your back,you're the reincarnation of bruce lee.
If you can't do 5 real pullups,you probably have a long way to go!
