what do you guys think of my back?
I am 5'11" weigh 179lbs been lifting for 2 years. Right now I think I would like to delvop more lat width and remove some of the fat off my lower back.

A back takes time to build, I would suggest you spend the next fews years doing deadlifts, heavy rows and a variety of pull down movements.

[Lfs2shrt2bsml]

deadlifts and heavy rows with heavy shrugs will be your best friend for the next year. the are your key to mass

more shrugs, rows, etc and i great diet. have you cycled yet?

[FreeDOOM]

nope have yet to use a cycle although i just got some gear. I am waiting a little while longer to get diet and everything in check before I start.

Odd to see no one say pull-ups.

toss alot of wide grip motions such as weighted chins and lat pulldowns in to widen you out

[FreeDOOM]

yeah I just started doing pullups as a normal part of my routine so hope that will help

[spywizard]

for me, mine really comes in when i started using hooks (or straps) it allows you to use a weight that your wrists will give out on.. It's always good to build wrist and grip strength, but that takes time and patience..

for the mass and strength in the back.. use the hooks..

Using a wide grip to widen your back is a fallacy. Kinesiology supports you actually get a better stretch, fuller range of motion and activate more muscle fibers with medium and close grip exercises. I am not suggesting by any means that wide grip movements should not be included in your back routine.

I use a semi wide grip pullup and it seems to work the best. Its the only thing that I done that actually widens my lats. Close grip pullups and lat pulldowns do nothing for me. My routine is 10 sets of 5 which makes 50 pullups every monday along with the rest of my back routine. GL bro

Thanks guys for the info. I am going to marry pullups, BB rows and Dead Lifts and go from there
