Thread: back development

It depends on where you feel them, bro. I do traps at the end of back nowadays because I feel alot more of a pump from them than if I trained them at the end of a delt workout. Standard deadlifts and power-rack deadlifts are great exercises to put some meat on your back, as well.

Definitely deadlifts...I didn't start putting good muscle on until I started doing those.

Strict chins with a squeeze , db rows , but more than a specific exercise learn to pull from the elbows not the bis . It might sound easy but it takes a while to get it down . And keep a tight arch in your lower back too .

where do deads put on muscle lower back?

Deads, weighted chins and bent over rows...

target is posterior spinal erectors but when I do deads by themselves I can feel them from my ass to my traps the next day

barbell rows, dumbell rows, pull ups, deadifts... sorry more than 3 lol. I usually do 4-5 exercises for back. oh I also enjoy doing the close grip row with a barbell shoved in the corner. great exercise!

I really enjoy wide grip pull downs behind the neck, bent over v bar rows, and of course deads.

This ^^^ will get it done!

pull ups, chins, bb rows, rack-pulls, deadlifts. But those won't give you a cut back, diet will, ya hear?

Pull ups pull ups pull ups

lat pull downs to the rear, cable rows and dumbell rows dude and stretch those lats between every set!

theres so many exercises for your back its hard not to over train it and get the right combo

you have to work on your back thickness. you got the width, now it's time to work on the thickness.

go with heavy deadlifts, barbell rows, heavy dumbell shrugs & weighted chins.

& try not to neglect the traps, traps make up almost 30% of your back.

if you could pick 3 exercises for great back muscle develpment what 3 would you go with
are deadlifts and shrugs back or are they legs and shoulder respectavly

Increased muscle defintion is a function of body fat. You probably store more fat on the backside of your body. Increasing the size of your back muscles will not make them more defined. It sounds like what you want to accomplish requires losing body fat.
