How do I build a wider back?

Focus on vertical pulling movements like pull-ups and lat pulldowns. Use a wider grip and focus on stretching your lats at the bottom of each rep.

Should I use straps for back exercises?

Straps are useful for heavy rowing and pulling movements to prevent grip fatigue. However, also train without straps to build grip strength.

How can I feel my back muscles working?

Use lighter weight, slow down the eccentric, and focus on squeezing at the top. Imagine pulling your elbows into your back pockets during rows.
