Thread: How is this for a back/bi workout?

    How is this for a back/bi workout?

    I am not doing deadlifts right now due to my lower back bothering me. So I have altered my back/bi routine to look like this:

    *Increasing weight each set and the last set will be to failure (usually I hit the desired number of reps)

    Seated cable rows 10,8,6,4
    Bent over dumbell rows 10,8,6,4
    Close grip lat pulldowns 10,8,6,4
    Wide grip lat pulldowns 10,8,6,4
    Seated hammer curls 12,10,8,6
    Standing straight bar curls 12,10,8,6

    How's this look?

    Looks decent to me.

    What if I dropped the sets to three, would it look even better?

    I think it looks good, either one really. i personally would go with your second one, and just perform a warmup set for every exercise. i would also stand to do the hammer curls.

    So 3 sets for each exercise is enough?

    Anyone? Are 3 sets enough for each exercise?

    And when I start doing deads again, my routine will look like this:

    *Increasing weight each set and the last set will be to failure (I will try to hit the desired number of reps).
