Back question

pippin17 · 04-30-2004, 04:12 PM

i just moved home for the summer from college and was just wondering a couple of good back exercises i could do with a bench. I normally use machine wieghts for the back, but now I cant because I do not have acess to a gym. I got a straight bar, a curling bar, and dumbells.

Bent over rows (barbell, about a 70º angle, I like a single leg in front to stabalize), and one arm rows with a knee on the bench (dumbell).

deadlifts - if you have enough weight.

pullups and deadlifts

My standard bar bends with anything over 200 on it, the Olympic set is ok to 500 unless you have a quality bar.

To add on to what people already said, you can do slight variations of what they said. Sumo deadlifts are a nice variation on deadlifts. Underhanded bent over rows are good. Also, Various width/grasps on the pull-up bar.
