Actually this is more than I normally do.
I usually only do 1 set of everything.

Really? And my back is one of my strong points.

I've just found Pullovers don't do a hell-of-a-lot for me.
Everybodys different though.

I've been doing just 6 sets per workout since my Christmas break and I do enjoy getting done in less than 1/2 hour.

Bent-arm pullovers really pre-fatigue my lats well for either rows or chin-ups.

You like big or giant sets? Here's a good one you can try on your back day:

Do the following 4 exercises with no rest.

Wide grip behind neck pull-up, then
bent-over row, underhand grip, then
bent-arm pullover, then
negative only chin-ups.

See what you think of that.

Crazy, I've only done super sets but may try that as I really enjoy super set day.

What kiind of rep range should I be doing? till falure?

BTW, I finally got around to taking a GOOD look at the routine you emailed me a while back, thanks

I try and choose weights that allow me to fail within the 8-12 rep range with each movement.

That one is compliments of Ellington Darden Ph.D.

Oh, and about that routine I e.mailed ya, I wasn't crazy about it, torcherous as hell, but I didn't see any improvements in size or strength from it. In fact, I think both my training partner and myself may have even lost a little strength.

cool, thanks Bear

Your welcome Scotty!

P.S. I have Ellington Darden's book "High Intensity Bodybuilding" and it has stuff like that for almost every major body part if you or anyone else is interested.
