Back workout

HickeyNC · 02-27-2001, 12:48 PM

hey everyone, I was just curious about what kind of back routine you all have. I never really feel like i can work my back as hard as i can work anything else. If you want i could post my work out, but i have given more than a few excersises a try and none of them really seem to give me a great pumped feeling. Any suggestions?

I did back this morning, here's what I did --

Pulldowns 2 working sets of 10
Pullups 2 weighted sets of 8
Seated cable rows 3x10
Shrugs bb 2x12
Shrugs db 2x12
Deadlifts 2x10x225lb then 2x8x315lb

done

I change my workout around every month or so or I might just do one diffrent exercise, mix it up a bit.

I find with back, you have to concentrate on the movement more and use a medium weight so your back does the work and not your arms.

Here is mine..it's a ab/back day
3 sets of 10 reps each except for the first three which depends on how many I can do.

Machine Crunches
Inclined Situps
Pull-Ups
One-Arm DB Bent-Over Row
Deadlifts
Machine Low Back Extension
Machine Seated Rows
T-Bar
Dumbell Shrugs

My back only gets a workout from high volume.

Dang Scotty, those deadlift weights just made me feel tired just looking at them.

Here is mine.
*Pull-ups do them until I get 35 reps (working my way back to 50)(1min rest)
*3 sets of pulldowns HEAVY (1.5min rest)
*3 sets of some type of rows (switch: t-bar, machine, cable, bentover. everyweek)
*3 sets of One arm dumbell rows (1min)
Superset cable chins (3X12)--> pulldowns (3X12) --> straight arm pushdowns(3X12)(1min)
*4 sets of upright rows (heavy)(2min)
superset DB shrugs and reverse grip upright rows on cable (both 3x12) (1min)

If ya dont get all the reps on the super sets thats ok. Do as many as ya can.

Deads 3 sets to warm up and Work up to my 2 work sets.
Shrugs 2 sets

Chins 2 sets

then move into Bi's and forearms.

ZONE will be doing this tonight instead of watching Temtation Island.

Hey Zone, don't you find your to tired after deads to do anything els for back?

I've never done deads first so I'm just wondering, I don't want to blow a whole workout doing them first then not being able to do other exercises cause I'm burnt.
