Back
My back workout is composed of Dumbell rows, Bent over bar rows and Lat pull downs. When I do my rows I feel it more in my bicepts. I do my bicepts on the same day as this because of that. How do you do it so you feel it more in your back?

My guess is your form is out the window. As for the lat pull-downs make sure you use a pronated overhand grip,wide & in front. What you need to remember is your hands are only hooks holding the bar while you use you lats to pull & contract. Rows same principle use a 45 deg angle bring up to below pecs near top of belly button preferbly wide grip. You may need to use the smith machine at first that way you can concentrate on trying to mostly use your lats instead of bi's. Also you may be using too much weight and you are overcompensating trying to move the weight with your bi's escpecially if you have a weak back. So drop the weight and correct your form #1 thing to do. Good luck

I would throughout the pulldowns and do pull-ups instead. Through some shrugs and deads in there and you should be good to go.

which ever exercise you do with Lats you should fully relax the muscle and let it stretch with the exercise. When you grab a dumbell you should be able to feel the weight pull on both ends of your lat. If not grab a heavier weight. Substitute pull downs for weighted pull ups. Over hand and under hand is good with this exercise. When you do pull ups squeeze your back in the conctracted position. Try to learn dynamic muscle control.

Dumbell rows, Bent over bar rows and Lat pull downs are good exercises.
Doing deadlifts, your legs give out before your back does.
Use straps always.
I found doing this helped isolate the back from my bi's :
- Imagine the goal of the exercise is pushing small pads backwards with your ELBOWS.Last edited by Pork Chop; 10-22-2004 at 07:52 AM.
