Tomorrows Back Workout:

[chaos]

"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.

Whoever implied that it was all of the workout

He is pretty much known around these parts as the village idiot.  In case you weren't aware.

You're just here for the men in thongs, TwinkrahamG.

[Desolate]

I have not deadlifted in years due to a past hernia.

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.

I’m not overly interested in optimizing my best back potential.

Fair enough.

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?

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

Very wise. Makes it easier to buy suit coats that fit properly.  Being Asian, what do you do to minimize calf growth as to not throw off your symmetry?

[ratherbebig]

a too wide back may block the sun and upset the sun gods.

dont overdoe it

I don’t do cleans or deadlifts.

I don’t want to get too big as a natural!

I work calfs every 6.45 days!

i used pellius calf routine

now i cant walk at all 

calves is 2% bigger though so worth it 

[SF1900]

About to go to war with the iron!

[Henda]

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

[LittleJ]

I'd rather do good mornings than deadlifts

[jpm101]

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.

[Tbomzisback!]

If you have access to a pull-over machine, use it.

[Tbomzisback!]

My last back workout.

Machine pullovers
Narrow grip palms in pull downs
Hammer strength low rows
Rear delts on the cables
Shrugs
Dumbbell curls

[funk51]

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.

[Obvious Gimmick]

I don't do deadlifts for me, I do it so others are inspired.

i do it because it makes a lot of noise

[Bevo]

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.

To be fair jay never really did dead lifts, he would add it in occasionally but he was mostly a barbell row type of guy

Phil did neither of those a long with many of the pros today

I heard another story about you and a homeless bloke.  This time it involved you eating a glazed donut and him turning it into a danish.

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.

Send me a postcard when you're famous.
