Thick back

[cobra305]

My back lacks the thickness I would like it to have. What are somw good exercises that would help this problem. My typical back routine consists of 50 pullups
4 sets deads
4 sets seated rows
4 sets lat puldown close grip
4 sets pullovers
4 sets db rows

Well your workout should vary some, you don't have to do the same thing every time!

Don't treat your deadlift like any other lift, I personally don't think 4 sets is enough, you could have an entire workout centered around your deadlift. Pullovers are typically done to make your back more broad. Try doing a T-Bar row with a close grip those are pretty nice. Pullups are good, but you don't have to do them every workout. Make sure when your working your back, your actually working your back. That may sound dumb, but a lot of people use their arms more. You really gotta concentrate to hit your back. I kinda pull from my elbows and really squeeze my back, IDK if that makes sense to you, but it works. When you really start working your back not using your arms your weight might go down, but don't let it F with your ego your hitting your back better.

Thanks for the advice. I do switch my workouts this was just an example of a workout. I will def add more deads and see how that works.

agree with T bar row it is awweesome for thickness. i attatch the V-bar to the larger bar if that makes sense lol and i agree about the deads i usually do 6 sets of deads in my workout, and i think maybe your overtraining your back what kind of reps are you doing on these exercises?

yeah i think wer on the same page ther and pleaaase keep form dont be one of them guys lifting to heavy and throwing there head forward as the pull the weight towards them. keep it heavy good form and 6-8 rep range i find works best

Appreciate the info I am going to cut back on the number of exercises and see how that works. I always keep good form I am not in the gym to be in a pissing contest to see who can throw around the most weight, I am there to improve myself. Once again thanks for the suggestions.
