Why the sad face. This is why we r all here to get better and bigger. Dont get down about it u are making good gains just keep up the good hard work and just tweak that part of your workout. You are money kid. Dont get down.

The sad face is cuz of my frustration I bust my ass in the gym. I want proportion! Lol
Thanks for the support tho man.

I know what you mean. Heres what i do. Im not as big as you. Im 6'2" 202 w 13% bf. im also 38 lol. Im a ballplayer so i dont go for bulk. I train for definition and endurance. So i can stay string thru the season. However, i usually do it diff than most guys. They combine parts like chest back arms abs shit like that. I workout 7 days a week but i do one area at a time. So in reality i only work one section a day each week. So each muscle group gets the proper rest. Cause remember muscles grow an repair during rest and sleep not when u lift. So i do this. Cuz i play mon tue thur fri.

Mon - arms ie biceps triceps
Tue - chest
Wed - back
Thurs - abs.
Fri - field training ie batting practice sprinting, fielding. Thats basically my cardio.
Sat - legs
Sun - a little if everything like a mix lighter weight. Just a feel good workout to be loose and ready for ball mon.

But heres the thing on the days i do chest its all chest on back its all back. I go non stop for an hour. Short interval between sets. But i go heavier weight between 8-12 reps

Now i know you are bulking so ur high weight low reps. And thats good maybe just set aside a day for your back is what im getting at. A day where its nothing but back. Blast the shit out of it. Isolate what u r trying to develop. Some guys here might tell me im full of shit. But hey try it. U might like it if u dont then dont ever try it again. Lol.

Try this back routine:

Pull-ups: 4 sets...however many you can do strict
T-bar Rows: 4 sets
Close Grip Pull Downs: 4 sets
DB Pullovers: 4 sets
Wide Grip Seated Rows: 4 sets
Deadlifts: 4 sets

Form...form...form! No sloppy reps, keep core tight, focus on feeling the muscle work...mind to muscle connection.

I think my workouts are already Simular haha.
I do
Monday chest
Incline dumbbell 105x8-12reps 4sets
Flat dumbbell 125x6 4 sets
Decline dimbell 125x10 4 sets
I alternate each week between barbell benching and dumbbells.
Then I do machine incline flys
10-15 reps, 4 sets about 80-100lbs
Then I do wide dumbbell flys.
60x10 4 sets
That's chest

Then Tuesday back
Usually start with
Dead lifts
Pendlay rows (now)
Lat pull downs
Pull ups
Shrugs
Then a machine for middle back not sure what it's called lol.

Anyways thèn
Wed is biceps triceps
Thursday shoulders
Friday cardio/abs
Sat sun off.

That's kinda how I have been doing it lately.


Honestly I feel like I'm doing something wrong and that's why I get upset.
I'm 8 1/2 weeks into my cycle, with only 5 pounds gained give or take.
And strength increases are VERY minimum. Like maybe 5-6 pound on bench.. Ect...

My diet is now in check. My gym workouts are better then they were, and still nothing. Leaves me confused lol.

Now that's how u build a back!
I do prefer however to use a pullover machine over DB to squeeze the lats but hey the DB is fine.

I do also believe that 2 working sets per exercise is ample if u smash it.
Not a fan of volume training.

Idk i have ha people say that before. I like your back workout. As far as not much gains. Well. You get gains from eating eating eating. Clean food ofcourse. And really most importantly rest. Good sleep is a big part of seeing the proper results.

Well here is a morning picture of back, been hitting it hard. Working more rows into my workouts!

 

[Dedication777]

End of week 8 starting week nine on Thursday.

One picture is pumped one is in the morning. I weigh 174.1 in the morning.
I feel a little better, pump seems to be getting better, idk why eight weeks later I'm finally started to feel the effects or see the gains. But I'm slightly starting to see some change.
Open for advice as always. And thanks to all you part in.
