Yeah, ever since I've started doing wider grip lat pull downs I've gotten bigger lats. Keep up the good work dude. What are your goals?? Also I am not familiar with your metric system, what is your weight in lbs?? I'm sure some others might have the same question

It looks like you might have gained some weight, but not enough to matter.

Get bigger.

Your change in routine is a vast improvement.
Track the weight / rep increase in your big exercises, that should prove you are progressing, even if you cant see a physical change.

New routine is much better, but I'm not big on all the direct arm work on Monday,too much curling IMO. Add some deadlifts on Thursday.

You don`t really have any lats yet. That is why they don`t look very wide.
