I do pull ups off of a door jam that sticks out 1/4 inch, this works my back and grip strength. This is something I learned when I started rockclimbing, which is something that requires a lot of grip and upper back strength. Also, part of that wide back look is broad shoulders. Make your shoulders larger, and your back will show it. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk.
