    I would put bis with back. What does your back workout look like? Oh and I would do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach..a seperate session as the weights..

    Do lat pulls. Lots of them. Also do weighted negatives for your pull up. If you do negatives, it will take you about a month or two at most to have the strength to do ten body weight chins (pull ups).

    Your back (lats) will be so sore after your first session of negatives, you will curse my name.

    your partner helps you lift the weight to the top position of a given exercise. Then lower the weight to the starting position in a slow controlled manner. Perform three - six negative repetitions to complete your set.. i like to use them after a conventional 8-12 rep set.

    note: if you rowing 70kg 8-12 reps, your negative..for that exercise should be more, 80-90kg 3-6 reps.

    Learn how to deadlift properly. There is a great article in the Lifting Technique's sticky as well regarding form, etc...
    Dead's are the best back exercise there is IMO...
    Dead's, BB rows, chest-supported rows, t-bar rows are the shit.

    We seem to do similar routines. Mine is the same except 3 deads first followed by the rows and pullups. No pulldowns, but 9 sets makes my back ache for 7 days without fail, week in week out.

    Exactly. There is nothing like them...

    Negative pull ups are easy and do not require a partner.

    Strap some extra weigh onto a belt or whatever your gym has for weighted exercises.

    Put a bench under the chinning bar.

    Get up on the bench and jump up so that you chin is above the bar as if you have just done a pull up.

    Slowly lower yourself down to a starting position for pull-ups.

    Repeat...

    Do them until gravity just takes over and you can't hold yourself in the upper position. More weight = better. Pick a weight that you can lower yourself down with 6-10 time. You will want to do no less than a total of 30-60 reps (lats can really take a beating.)

    I changed two coat sizes in three months.

    Do them as your first exercise after a couple sets of pull downs to warm up on your back day.

    If your diet is in control and you go heavy on these negatives, you will be happy. I was amazed.

    Dude, you will be tensing the whole time until you get to the bottom. You will have your body weight, plus extra weight on your belt that you are holding in a chinning position and then doing a controlled decent. Your back and forearms will be sceaming from the tension.

    This is not a yoga technique. We are talking physics. Gravity wants to pull your little butt and the weight belt to the Earth.

    Capice?

    No I didn't...

    Negatives will work your muscles harder than full reps because of the extra weight, and the fact that you are lengthening your muscles even though you are contracting very hard. Therefore you have to take it easy and should probably aim for 3 sets of 8 negative reps, for a total of around 20 reps.

    When I go negatives I personally do:

    10 x with 10 kg (both directions, pull up and negative)
    10 x with 20 kg (both directions, pull up and negative)
    10 x with 30 kg (both directions, pull up and negative)
    10 x with 40 kg (both directions, pull up and negative)
    max with 50 kg (2 reps up, max negatives)
    max with 50 kg (negatives only)

    When I started, I did something like 10 x 10, 10 x 10, 10 x 15, 10 x 15.

    Fino, go in the gym and see what YOU can do. I repeat, do them until GRAVITY takes over and you are just falling. I don't know how many you can do.

    Also there is no point in doing pull downs after the negatives. You will be toast.

    See my post above on my reps. Next time you're in Russia, I'll show you 60 reps, then my workout partner will put me to shame and do the same thing with three 25 kilo plates hanging off his .... He actually does the pull up and the negative for over 20 reps.

    That being said, my personal results have shown that for me, this approach worked. If he can do 20, great, that is his number for now. But if he keeps doing them periodically in his work outs, 20 just will not be enough.

    Guarantee that if he does 60, he will not be able to complain that his back is not sore.

    Eight reps with the pull up is very respectable. Try doing negatives only with 30 kgs on your next set. You will be amazed how quickly your body grows to compensate for the torture you are inflicting upon it. Took me five years to get up to where I am, but the growth is almost week by week.

    This really does work.

    20gk 8 reps x 3, negatives 25-26 kg end of each set.

    I’m going to hit 30 next week and so on.

    If everyone on this site does negative chins, I'll open a jacket store.
