Here's the back routine I alternate the two from one week to the other

DEADLIFT 3 sets
WIDE PULLUPS 3 sets
WIDE PULLDOWNS 3 sets
CLOSE GRIP SEATED ROW 3 sets


WIDE PULLUPS 3 sets
WIDE PULLDOWNS 3 sets
CLOSE GRIP SEATED ROW 3 sets
T BAR ROW 2 sets

you could start by cutting the sets of back in about half and if ones larger than the other its genetics

I personally think your back routine is not good. Hit every part of the back every time you workout back. Here is a good alternating routine....

2x warmup sets of pulldowns
3x sets of pull ups/chin ups
1x warmup set of deadlifts
3x sets of deadlifts
3x close grip cable rows
3x barbell rows

2x warmup sets of pull downs
3x sets of pull ups/chin ups
1x warmup set of reverse crunches
3x sets of reverse crunches
3x t-bar rows
3x sets of barbell rows/seated rows (wide grip)

the lat thing is just genetics, so don't stress about it too much, because there is nothing you can do, and if i was supposed to be able to tell a difference in that pic, i definitely didn't.

I'm confused because you were the one that helped me with the back routine in the "Free Training Advice-national certified trainer" thread. So you're saying I should drop it to 5-6 sets for back and that's it including deadlifts?

I think he may have thought your alternating routine was one big routine for one workout. Just a guess.

HAHAHA

Seriously . He can help you but when working with a client seeing how that individual responds to the program is the only way for them to adjust accordingly .

If he were watching you he would have been able to adjust your workout after your 1st session

not including deads, it would be 20 sets you listed for back. so 20 divided by 2= 10 sets. which is much better off IMO. let me find the critique which i agreed wtith this because unless i overlooked it, i wouldve never told anybody to do it.

Ah I see now, the first set of excercises below is for week one

DEADLIFT 3 sets
WIDE PULLUPS 3 sets
WIDE PULLDOWNS 3 sets
CLOSE GRIP SEATED ROW 3 sets

The second set below is for week two, I alternate so one week I do 12 sets including deads and another week I do 11 sets without deads, makes sense?

WIDE PULLDOWNS 3 sets
CLOSE GRIP SEATED ROW 3 sets
T BAR ROW 2 sets
