At the same time, your lats, the real engine, fairly get the signal. But here's the part most people don't realize. A tight grip hijacks the neural signal straight to your biceps. Your lats get bypassed before the pull even starts. That's why your arms get wrecked after every session. But your back never grows. But here's the real question.
