    Baby Got Back!

    I know I keep going back to this damn program, I don't know what the hell I don't stick to it to begin with. My girlfriend constantly reminds me how no matter what program I do, I always go right back to Baby Got Back. To those of you who are not familiar with it I'm going to quote the article here:

    Building the Ultimate Back

    The back can be thought of as being divided into vertical and horizontal planes. So, back training should really be split into two workouts - one devoted to horizontal pulling (thickness based workout / rowing movements) and one devoted to vertical pulling (width based workout / pull ups). As for heavy Deadlifts, they will round out your back workout.

    I have divided some exercises into the two planes of motion you will be working in.

    Horizontal Pulling

    • Barbell Rows (vary the grip between pronated and supinated)
    • T-Bar Rows (vary the grip between pronated and supinated)
    • Rack Pulls (vary the pin height, usually set them set below the knee/mid shin area)
    • Seated Cable Rows

    Vertical Pulling

    • Lat Pulldowns (various grips and widths)
    • Pull Ups
    • Chin Ups
    • Pull-Overs (Nautilus, cable, bar)

    Picking a Grip

    Choose one and stick with it throughout the course of the program - then switch when you want to change exercises. This will help with maintaining consistency and you'll be able to tell whether you're progressing or not.

    For example, if you perform the Bent Barbell Row - you'll find that you can probably lift more weight with a supinated grip because the biceps are assisting the movement.

    So if you're switching back and forth between grips during each workout, or every other workout, then it may be difficult to gauge progress.

    So choose one and stick with it.

    There are three main grips that can be utilized when lifting:

    1. Supinated grip means palms facing your body.
    2. Pronated means palms facing away from your body.
    3. Semi-supinated (neutral grip) means palms facing each other.

    Examples of each grip used in an exercise would be: pull-up uses a pronated grip, palms facing away from your body while chin-ups use the other two grips.

    Dealing with Deadlifts

    Straight Legged Deadlifts/Regular Deadlifts

    Straight Legged Deadlifts/Regular Deadlifts are decent for the hip extension function, and therefore the lower back, but not so much for great upper back development, at least comparatively speaking.

    Regular Deadlifts

    Regular deadlifts are a 'hip dominant' exercise. They hit the whole posterior chain - from hamstrings up to traps. They are the King of back development. Deadlifts should be performed first in your back workout, as they require appropriate motor control of multiple muscles. In other words, if you choose to do them down the line in your list of exercises, the chances of injury will increase.

    You can be pretty sure you're doing it right if you're getting war-wounds on your shins. It's basically a sign that the bar is staying really close to your body.

    Try to keep your sets short for two reasons:

    1. It is a complex movement and form tends to break down with higher reps.

    2. It is a strength movement. Your goal is to get strong on this exercise.

    Keep the reps under 5 with regular deadlifts. You can go higher with SLDLs/RDLs as the weight you will be using is not as heavy and as taxing as a regular deadlift is on the body.

    Rack Pulls

    A rack pull is performed like a regular deadlift, except off pins. Click here for a graphical example of rack pulls

    Pulling from the floor presents a greater challenge. The weight travels a greater distance, and the glutes and hams are targeted to a greater degree. If you choose to pull from pins, focus on your back. This is essentially what’s working on the upper portion of a deadlift. Also, because the range of motion is shorter you should be able to lift a bit heavier.

    You can vary the pin height, but try not to do it set-to-set or workout-to-workout. This has to do with being able to accurately gauge progress. Changing things too frequently will make tracking progress from a strength standpoint more difficult. Stick with something for four weeks, and then switch it up a bit.

    Building This into a Workout

    Try pairing a horizontal pulling workout with horizontal pushing (chest) and the vertical pulling with vertical pushing (shoulders) to ensure that the volume around the joints is kept constant. This is assuming that muscle groups are being trained once per week.

    An upper/lower split or an undulating split (with increased frequency, where everything basically gets hit twice per week) is better for hypertrophy. The one thing you have to consider when doing this is that the volume per body part per workout is lowered, but the weekly volume stills allows for an adequate growth stimulus to occur.

    The 4 day split workout

    DAY 1 - HORIZONTAL PUSH PULL

    Horizontal plane back (pull)

    Select from:

    • Bent barbell rows (vary the grip between pronated and supinated)

    • T-Bar Rows (vary the grip between pronated and supinated)

    • Rack Pulls (vary the pin height, usually set them set below the knee/mid shin area)

    • Seated Cable Rows

    • Dumbbell row

    • Hammer Strength row

    Horizontal plane chest (push)

    Select from:

    • Flat barbell press

    • Dumbbell press

    • Low incline press.

    • Flat or incline flies

    (Standing calves, short, heavy sets)

    DAY 2 - QUAD DOMINANT LEGS

    Go short and heavy on two quad dominant exercises and lighter with higher reps for one ham dominant exercise. (Here, hams are accessory, so they go lighter, with higher reps)

    (Biceps)

    DAY 3 - VERTICAL PUSH/PULL

    Vertical plane back (pull)

    Select from:

    • Lat Pulldowns (various grips and widths)

    • Pull Ups

    • Chin Ups

    • Pull-Overs (Nautilus, cable, bar)

    • Any of the Hammer high rows

    Vertical plane shoulders (push)

    Select from:

    • Standing barbell press

    • Dumbbell press

    • Arnold press

    • Laterals, etc

    (Seated calves, long sets)

    DAY 4 – HIP/HAMSTRING DOMINANT LEGS

    This is the opposite of day 2. Go short and heavy on 2 hip/ham dominant exercises and light with higher reps for one quad dominant exercise. Here, quads are accessory, so they go lighter, with higher reps.

    (Tricep work)



    BGB Programme Notes

    It’s a four-day workout.

    Day one is an upper body day: horizontal push-pull. This means back and chest are paired together so they don't tire each other out.

    Back will hit back hard, biceps light. Chest will hit chest hard, triceps light. Chest work also hits front delts a bit.

    Since there's no legwork on this day, toss in some calf work. You can throw in an ab exercise as well.

    If you do seated calves on this one, do standing calves on the next upper-body day.

    Day two is lower body: quad-dominant, hamstring accessory.

    This means you're hitting quads heavy and hard, hams lightly. Add in an arm exercise to round this out. Either biceps or triceps - if you do triceps on this day then do biceps on the other leg day. Pick two different arm exercises - one heavy and hard, one a little lighter, slightly longer reps.

    Day three is upper again: vertical push-pull. This means more back (but mostly lats), and shoulders. Biceps get another small hit here with lat work, triceps a small hit with some of the shoulder work and possibly some of the lat work.

    Since there's no legwork on this day, toss in a calf exercise, and add in an ab exercise as well, just like horizontal push-pull day. Pick a different calf exercise, and a different ab exercise than you did on horizontal push-pull.

    Day four is lower: hamstring dominant, quad accessory.

    This workout hits the hamstrings hard and heavy while going a little lighter and longer with the quad work. You're still working all muscles hard, but with different rep ranges.

    Because the arms aren't overly fatigued on hamstring-dominant day, add in two arm exercises - if you did biceps on quad-dominant day, do triceps on hamstring-dominant day.

    Sounds pretty close, the split that I use for this program is:

    1. Horizontal push/pull
    2. Quad dominant legs
    3. Vertical push/pull
    4. Hamstring dominant legs

    And basically it combines the 5x5 technique, with a little volume, and variety is the key. I usually keep the 5x5 exercise the same week to week, and keep trying to increase the weight. And then for the accessory work I always change it up. I also follow a 3 days on / 1 day off split.

    I know, that's the truth, lol. I can't wait for the Y to open back up again, I miss seeing you at the gym. Muah!!

    Yeah, I always end up resorting back to this program.

    But anyway I know! I've had zero appetite lately and I need this girl I know to make me tuna and chicken and all that since she's a chef. I'm way too lazy to make my own food I'm always thinking hmm, should I go downstairs and make something? No thats okay I'll survive, lol. And like you're one to talk do you remember how much you weighed yesterday?

    Whey cannot replace whole foods--it can only fill in small gaps sporadically, or be used PWO.

    Yeah lately I've been replacing whey shakes with a lot of my meals, defintely a bad habit you can't beat the vitamins/minerals you get from whole foods. My girlfriend definitely reminds me of this on a daily basis, lol.

    Not trying to bash you in anyway cause your #'s are better than mine, but you have one of the crappiest diets I've ever seen. I would love to see how you would progress if you cleaned your diet up and stuck to it. Your definately gifted, don't waste it.

    Yeah my diet lately has been shitty, but its only because I've been stressed out between work and what not. My diet will be back on track in no time, no worries. Thanks for stopping by, though.

    Diet-

    Not good today at all, didn't even track anything I ate. All day I barely had anything but a whey shake and then later tonight I ended up drinking a little bottle of vodka, and a few beers, and then some cheese fries and a grilled chicken salad with the girlfriend, lol.


    Sleep- 5.5 hours.

    NONE! Lazy slacker day today, me and my girlfriend were running around all day doing stuff, so I didn't have a chance to get to the gym at all today.


    Diet-
    SUCKED! Took a day off of dieting today with my girlfriend and we ended up eating at an italian restaurant and I had some cheese tortellini and cream sauce, and then a bunch of rolls with garlic and olive oil, and of course ate some of my girlfriend's pasta. Then tonight I had a pint of low-fat Ben & Jerry's and a chicken pot pie. A typical cheat day, didn't go all out and binge, so that was one good thing.


    Sleep- 7 hours.

    Hey man, sorry for the confusion. Training arms in this program I actually throw in on leg days. So on my quad dominant day I end up hitting biceps and then on my hamstring dominant day I end up hitting triceps.

    Hey man, I haven't really gotten weaker on anything. I adjust my weights accordingly in terms of how close I want to come to failure, but I always do that when I'm cutting down. Thanks for stopping by, man.

    Awesome sets here today, finished all 5 sets of 5 without too much of a struggle. Although the last couple sets of 5 I really think I came damn close to failure on.

    Cardio

    Overall workout today was good, considering I was running on low sleep and low food. Not a bad session at all, I'm definitely taking tomorrow off no matter what.

    You need to chill out with those late nights. Why do you never get any sleep?
