Post by: daddy8ball on January 10, 2011, 04:52:09 PM
I usually start out w/ one - arm rows, but I was wondering if anyone had results with other movements.

Deadlifts or hammer pull down.

Or

If on Im doing a pre exhaust/BFT route then I'll hit the lats with pullovers....this isn't very often, perhaps only 2 x 1 month per year.

Sternum Chin-ups. Brutal pump, killer results and harder than hell to do, even after doing them for months.

Exercises:

narrow-grip pull-ups
deadlifts...conventional or rack from the knee level
barbell rows...underhand grip
low cable rows
dumbell rows
cable pullovers

Usually 3-4 of these...2-3 sets/exercise...order chances everytime...short breaks...fast in, fast out and back to eat... ;)
Title: Re: Back Day - What exercise do you do first?
Post by: Meso_z on January 11, 2011, 03:37:48 AM
I start with 2-3 sets of pullovers on the high pulley....just for a warmup and to preexaust my lats...

Then

its always something like chins or machine pulldowns...ALWAYS...onl y after these i move to rows and stuff.

I rarely do deads nowadays...i find out they are useless for me..when i do them its always in the end.

I pre-exhaust with either chins or lat-pulldowns.

Then barbell rows, followed by pullovers, cable rows, and finally deadlifts.

I never did back much until recently/last 4 months.

My upper body feel way mroe powerful now.

I esp like leveage machine where you sit all pull handles to ears from way in front of me.


If I clench my fists and flex lats against back now have lot of muscle suddenly under armpits.

I do squats, deads, front squats/leg extensions then lying leg curl on 'leg' day. if I done deads on back I would be tired on leg day and vice versa.

Guys deadlifts are not safe.  They will wreck your back.  Use dumbells they are much more effective   ;D

nah man, i go by what works for me, not what others say works for them. i used to always train with multiple exercises, going to failure all the time, trying to "work as hard as possible".  but it never got me much in the way of results. now i focus on one exercise, properly warm up, go heavy for a few sets untill im unable to use the heavy weight with proper form for desired reps, and im done. im stronger every workout when i train this way, and growing better than ever.

Post by: coltrane on January 13, 2011, 12:32:29 PM
I dont do barbell rows OR deads.  My lower back won't allow.  But, over the years I've managed without and still have built a pretty good natty back.

I honestly believe that you can build a decent back without deads and barbell rows.   What the true key to building a back is a slower pace of the rep and the pause at the contraction.  Controlling the weight is most important in a back workout.  Also the LIGHTER amount of weight used so that the back is working, not the biceps etc.

Pulldowns with a variety of grips are most important.  I also LOVE seated, one-handed cable rows.  Pause these at contraction.  My lats have gotten thick with these.  

If i do do a barbell row, it's on a smith machine, Dorian style.  NOT Arnold style.

CUrious:  WHen you guys DL, what kinda grip?  Palms on same side of bar or opposite sides?

when i do a moderate weight for reps both palms are on the same side to be more symmetrical but if i do one rep with max. weight i make them opposite as this enables you to lift heavier!!..
