Title: Tomorrows Back Workout:
Post by: SF1900 on June 05, 2019, 04:16:52 PM
Wide grip pullups
Low pulley rows (wide grip)
One arm dumbbell rows
Smith machine barbell rows
Close grip lat pulldowns
Hyperextentsions

Seems like a lot, and I guess it is, but I enjoy my time in the gym.

Would anyone else or take away an exercise and replace it with something else?

Alas, Mr. Greene kaiprehends very little. As Immanuel Kant, The Predator of Königsberg, wrote in the first Critique, "Thoughts without white towels are empty; intuitions without grapefruit are blind” (A51/B75). Thoughts construct appearances only (das ding-a-ling), reality, i.e., das ding an sich, lies in the unknowable beyond.

One arm dumbbell rows are overrated.

Most people do them incorrectly.

You should be deadlifting.

Deadlifting is to the back as Squats are to legs and Bench Press (properly performed) is to chest.

i say so.

deadlifts is an annoying exercise done by annoying people who make a lot of annoying noise and they have absolutely nothing to show for it, as far as back development.

i think it's safe to say that nobody built a big back doing deads in the history of bodybuilding.

Coleman only cared about looks. Cutler only cared about looks. Some of the widest, biggest backs in bodybuilding were built with deadlifts as part of the workout. Obviously, you don't lift.

"part" of the workout is the key word.

with that logic, flyes is the shit for chest because that too was part of the biggest chest routines.

and that would be pretty stupid, but yet, thats exactly how you reason.

Okay.

But you have to accept that it will keep you from your best back potential.

Marty Gallagher had a great article in Muscle & Fitness back in the nineties about the importance of deadlifting and back development.

I think it was the issue with Arnold on the cover pushing the God awful Last Action Hero.

EDIT: Yes. This is the issue.

Take away one lat exercise and add deadlifts or power cleans. Dumbell snatches will do too.

Curl grip weighted chins from a dead hang are a great back exercise try them some day mate the added weight seems to change the angle of the movement and put more of the strain on the lats than the biceps

All redundant actually, except for the hyperX. Most any exercise is a variation of the same theme on any body part anyway, as your back workout suggest. Reps and sets not mentioned?

Wide grip pullups
Low pulley rows (wide grip)
One arm dumbbell rows
Smith machine barbell rows
Close grip lat pulldowns
Hyperextentsions

Just my personal view, take it for what it's worth..... if ambition for the back improvement is that much, would think about GVT  (10X10's) of BB rows with a middle curl grip position to the lower gut, as the only direct back workout. Twice a week. Other option would be hi-pulls or DL's, as an only one exercise per back workout. Would suggest pullups/chins but most guy's can't do that exercise justice for a full 10X10's. Wide grip lat pulldowns are not on a equar par with the regular pullup/chin

Good Luck.

Rear delts on the cables
Shrugs
Dumbbell curls

Not a single compound movement. Not a single non-supported movement.

No no and no.  Stop that nonsense.


1) Close grip V-handled pull ups

2) T-bar rows. Uses 25's. Lots and lots of 25's

3) Seated low pulley rows. Use the stack.

4) Standing dumbbell shrugs. Run the dumbbell rack. Start at 50 pounds. Make 20 pound jumps.  Go to the absolute max your gym has... then run back down the rack.

A valid reason not to run the rack sir. In that case

50's x 10
75''s x 10
100's x 10
125's x 10
