Back day

[evander87]

How many exercises do you do on you back day?

Eat meticulous, train ridiculous for best results.

[Icy]

I do 6. Wide Grip pullups, chin ups, T-bar rows, Pulldowns, dumbbell rows, bent over reverse grip rows

Man looks like we do just about the exact same thing , at the end I throw in some reverse pushups as well.

Sometimes I add in straight arm rope pulldowns. I used to hate back day but I finally got used to it

[cj111]

Start with wide grip chins, 3 sets to failure.. adding weight each time.
Seated rows.
Close grip lat pull downs.

This was last back day atleast, deadlifts , bent over rows, are also staples of a good back day.

[kelkel]

Normally just a couple compound movements and one pull down, in no particular order. Then traps.

Don't forget wide grip pull-ups behind the neck, do assisted if needed. I added this to the mix and within a month, my upper back started getting more defined. I was told, to get wide, you must train wide...

Not really true at all. Too wide a grip decreases your range of motion, hence you're working a much smaller portion of the target muscle.

Agree.

I have also experienced much undo strain on shoulders and wrists when going super wide.

Pullups are like pushups, they are both the forest gump bubba gump shrimp of exercises, meaning they have endless varieties for all levels of fitness.

For my workout I do 50 wide (a tad past shoulder width), 50 chin ups, and 50 v-bar side to side pullups. Usually in 3 sets each sometimes 4.

Hmm... Than why do we do lat pull downs to get those wide lats? Notice, I said, assisted as well. I don't have limited range of motion at all when doing pull-ups behind the neck.

As far as strain on wrists and shoulders, I don't know what to say besides, they're probably weak from not training properly already or just bad genetics. Maybe you supplemented too much and got too big too fast.

Its the biomechanics of the movement.

Broscience at its best.

Who said not to do them? If you do a wide grip pull up/down your range of motion is limited. It's simple kinesiology. Yes, you work a part of the muscle but you get a more complete range of motion with normal width pulling movements. Hell, even a close grip pull down works the muscle through a far longer range of motion. Variety is key but don't fool yourself by thinking that wide movements are the only way to a wide back.

[Nalga_Smasher]

Never said to eliminate narrow grip movements doofus. Noticed one again, how I said added to the mix. My god you all are dumb.

You're funny. Plus you're gonna last a long time here.

Still really trying to figure out why you're even here if you know it all already? Post up a pic. I bet your massive!

[Nalga_Smasher]

[Nalga_Smasher]

You couldn't handle my pic kel kel. You've not earned it yet.

[Nalga_Smasher]

Now quit begging, please. It's very unbecoming.

[kelkel]

Forget how to spell? What's AF? Educate me tough guy.

Guess we're not getting a pic to back up your wealth of knowledge and attitude?

Well, at least you have a sense of humor. That's a start.

[kelkel]

Seriously Austin?

[bdusmc]

I've been sticking with 4 exercises. Lat pulls, seated rows, db rows, finish with pull-ups to 50 (usually takes awhile) I've been hitting traps on shoulder days.

[austinite]

Lol....

Nothing wrong with that at all. Visit Marcus's Diary in the lounge for some modern high intensity training methods, routines and motivation. Take the time to read it from start to finish. It's worth your time.

[austinite]

Lol....

[kelkel]

Lol....

Austinite, you are awesome.

The silence is deafening.........

insert cricket noise.....

I'm sorry, I have a life outside the Internet. If y'all think that's me, than y'all are really meat heads. No offense. I came here to chase that fat faggot into oblivion. That's not me. Sorry to disappoint.

[Nalga_Smasher]

So now where do we go Austin, you slut.

[Nalga_Smasher]

[sweatymoo]

[Nalga_Smasher]

Lol yes, I keep the cats fed. Now where are the other two dimwits?

[BG]

Lol. Don't feed the trolls guys.

[evander87]

hey hey hey I wasn't trolling. Just a simple question about how many exercises do people do on their back days. No idea it would spin out of control like this. Wow. lol

Normally do around 2 thickness, 2 width and one lower back.

[sweatymoo]

Does anyone see anything wrong with working back with some rows and pull ups, then a few days later doing deads or rack pulls?

[Icy]

I do deadlifts on my leg day so I'm interested in this also
