Back workout
My back routine is complete garbage.
Can anyone recommend a back routine (its going to be done twice a week, and the days it will be done on I work biceps, delts, and traps) that will bulk me up. Thanks guys, truly appreciate it. |

what is your back routine now?
How can it be garbage? I don't understand when people ask for a back routine or a shoulder routine. It isn't like body part training is rocket science. It is not like you are asking to have someone write out a periodized program to increase your strength and power in given lifts. Find out what the muscles does and then do it.... Back- lats- sagital plane shoulder extension and horizontal adduction so do- pull ups, pulldowns, pullovers, RG pull downs, RG pull ups rear delts, mid traps and rhomboids- horizontal shoulder extension so do- rows, rev. peck deck, rev. flyes, etc.. |

Functional Lifting = Life
|
You don't need fifty exercises to hit an area. Pull ups, chin ups, rows of all kinds and deadlifts will hit the back just fine. I do deadlifts, yates rows, pull ups and chin ups, but not to target my back. I do them for functional strength and because they're excellent compound movements that can work in just about any decent routine. IMO stay away from machines if you're trying to build any kind of functional strength (there are exceptions, but that's my general opinion).

Push yourself. Enjoy yourself. Be yourself.

vary your grip every now and again for a different stimulus and change you rep ranges around every so often also. |

I like to keep it simple for back, and I stick to basic compound movements.
I always start my routine with weighted pullups, and then CG hammer chins, deadlift, T-bar rows, seated cable row, I occasionally add in DB pullover and lat pulldowns. |
