Any advice on a better back workout?

[Djicy]

I do 5 sets wide grip pull ups, 4 sets Lat pull down, 4 sets bent over barebell rows, 4 sets one arm dumbell rows, and seated cable rows. Am I missing something here anyone have a good back workout because my back is a little weak would like to have a little more intense back workout. Thanks.

don't forget about shrugs

also, if you don't already, pick a day for good mornings, ghr, and reverse hypers. i do these on squat day, but they incorporate alot of important back/glute muscles. also how many reps do you do on the sets you mentioned? last set should be around 6-8 reps

Lats I do 8 reps to start then add weight end up doing 4 last set, I do deadlifts and reverse hypers on squat day. I'm going to sound like a complete idiot I know what good mornings are but I never tried them could you try to explain them to me please so I have proper form thanksS!

i'm terrible at describing anything

check out the link

exercise index

there is also a good morning squat, where you do basically a good morning and finish it with an ass to the grounder, i've tried these and really like em.

either way, with a gm you should feel it in your lower back, glutes, and hams

Try doing snatch grip deadlifts 3x5 / Bent forward rowing 3x5 / Chins 3x8 / Behind the back shrugs 4x15. Good Luck

I do deads, close grip or wide grip pullups(weighted), hammer rows, flyes.

 

[H_T_]

Deadlifts,Partial deadlifts, Sumo deadlifts, Stiff-legged deadlifts, and if you've got a REAL t-bar row, do that too.

I hate to give out advice for free, but I am bored.

On Maximum Exertion Day.

Barbell Rows (underhand grip)
Seated Pulldowns (narrow grip)

On Speed Day:

Incline Dumbell Rows
Seated Pulldowns (wide grip)

You need a variety of exercises to fully exhaust and subsequently, develope a well defined back, which Cutler does not have (he has mass, thickness, but no seperation).

On ME Day for Barbell Rows after I max out on singles, I do partial deadlifts.
I mentioned this because somebody mentioned Deadlifts but I presume you are not talking about developing your lower back but upper. This is a powerllifting forum so not much to comment on that.

Here is how I build up on Rows done on a power rack racked slightly above your knees.
:
3 reps 90lb
2 reps 145lb
1 rep 195lb
1 rep 225lb
1 rep 245lb
I rep 275lb
1 rep 295lb
1 rep 315lb
1 rep 335lb partial rep

Then:

Partial deadlifts with the same racked barbell on a powerrack racked slightly above your knees.

1 rep 365lb
1 rep 405lb
etc...................

until you rep out. In this way you develope your lower lats and lower back in one exercise.
