For years I was looking for an exercise that would develop my lats without success. Rowing, deadlifts, pulley machines, etc.

It turned out that I was already doing it but poorly. I switched my pull ups to a slow, controlled, full range movement and within a couple of months I started to see results.

You should stretch your arms and back fully during the eccentric phase. That's it.

Sure you won't be able to do the amount of reps you did before, and decreasing the number of reps to one-third is an obvious ego blow. But it's worth it, I promise.

Pull-ups will give you wiiiings!
