To make sure you're progressing to your goals, record in a training log the number of sets, repetitions and resistance for each exercise in a training session.
The log will help you figure out if you're doing the right thing and when you're ready to increase resistance. It'll also help you remember the order of exercises and how to do them.

as for how much weight you should use, you should use how ever much you feel comtherable doing a set of 10-15 reps with.
i started using 20 lbs and since then i’ve increased up to 50.
also, another way to work your lats, is the pullup. but make sure your palms of your hands are facing AWAY from your body (so you’re looking at the back of your hand)

This exercise is good for your trunk and core muscles. Improving these can help your all-around athleticism. Sparq has agility programs and so does nike.

I Think the video is sometimes helpfull and sometimes not
because most people just think that the latissimus dorsi is
not important but I want to make sure every body should work
on muscles if you want but you dont have to if you dont want to!!!

He rubbed his side to identify the exact muscle that he was going to be using — the “lat” or latissimus dorsi. It’s helpful to have this in mind when you workout, because then you can really “focus” on what part of the body you are working.
