The aim of an exercise is to make the lats, especially the top of the back, wider and thicker. But I warn you that you will not gain your goal if you just pull the handle of the block down, working mainly with biceps and forearms: it is necessary to focus on tension and reduction of the lats. I take a bar with fully extending arms and using hands only as a hooks, make my lets work, and pull my elbows down and back until the bar touches the upper level of my chest. In this position, I try to reduce the latissimus before I slowly return to the starting position. At first I do 10 reps for the warming-up,it is  followed by three heavy sets, increasing the weight and coming down to five repetitions in the late set. In the main sets I use a forced repetition.
