Biggzy · 11-03-2005, 07:27 PM

Looking to switch up my routine a bit. Just wondering what back exercises you guys are doing at the gym.

Back Width

underhand narrow grip pulldowns

My staples are deadlifts, various forms of rows, and pullups/chinups. I also incorporate upright rows, face pulls, and cleans on occasion.

LAM · 11-04-2005, 12:55 AM

I alternate between all about any back exercises with the exception of dead lifts

kenwood, ditch the double sets of rows and make chins a staple, you'll thank me for it.

It depends what you are training for. Let's not turn this into another which lift is better debate. Both train different articulations of the shoulder joint on different planes of motion. Both are effective at recruiting a multitude of musculature in one's back.

Pullups are good. Those never get old.

I do both.....just think rows are a bigger movement and maybe a better ROM..
But its best to mix it up.

**Pirate!** · 11-04-2005, 05:30 PM

Wide Lat Pulls
Single Arm Rows
Shrugs
Deads

in that order

I wouldn't do SLDL on back day. They cash my hams...

TheCurse · 11-04-2005, 06:45 PM

lately i have been going bent rows, one arm dumbells, various grip pull ups then shrugs and rear delt iso's.

I agree. I think both movements should be staples in anyone's back routine.

swordfish · 11-05-2005, 12:25 AM

deads and rows.

AKIRA · 11-07-2005, 10:20 AM

I gotta ask.

That barbell thats in almost every gym...it looks like a regular barbell but it is curved on the inside. Is that bitch used for rows?

In 10 years of training, never once have I seen someone use it.
