Need exercises focusing on lats and obliques

I really feel like this is all I should really be focusing on at the gym. I know there’s only so much you can do with these muscle groups but I need help.

I had started a similar thread recently although only about obliques. Some of the responses here might help you while you're waiting for people to respond to this thread

Thanks.
I think the obliques are more just losing weight. The lats on the other hand should be much more muscular than they are but I feel I don’t target hem enough. The only time I feel sore from my lats is the first day after I transition back to pushups.

So that's what you meant! I had no clue what you were talking about reading the title

I’m a dumbass sometimes, sorry.

It's cool. I was thinking it was some lesser known muscle that I'd be too fat to know about

What do you have access to re: lats?
Besides the basics (pullups, rows, etc.) I have gotten great results on lats from heavy farmers walk. If your gym has a trap bar, that will work. If you can drag a sled with a rope, that is also great for lats and biceps.
With rows and pullups, the key for me isn't the exercise, it's concentrating on moving the elbows and lats during the exercise. It's so easy to use momentum and biceps.

Chinups, 100 per session three times weekly. Try it. When you can do 10*10 with in under 15 min, doubt you will complain about your width.

I’m 6’8. Even when i was jacked with abs in college, I’d not be able to do that!
Even when I was skinny enough that sitting down hurt, I was still between 210-230.

Wow thought you said 6'3. Damn you are tall dude.
As far as the workout, start with a lower number of 25-50 with chins and get it done EOD no matter the number of sets it takes. Time this portion of the workout and every time Keep trying to improve the time it takes to get this done. When you can do 10x5, add a rep every other week, on the opposite weeks, add a set so it looks like
10x5
10x6
11x6
11x7
12x7
Etc etc
Granted you will not be able to add a set or reps every week so this might be over the course of two weeks or three weeks.
Whole goal is to improve chins to improve lats.

Weighted Pullups.
When you get to the ability of being able to do a pullup with over 50% of your bodyweight. Report back about your lats.

Heavy bag boxing—then go to the Apple Music store and search “bas rutten”. He has 30 minute heavy bag workouts where he calls out combinations. I personally love the “all around fighting” where you also do sprawls when he calls out “defense”. Great for lats and obliques...and yes, like the others have said, weighted chins and pull-ups.
