Wide grip pull up
Deadlifts
Bent over rows

the best way to make the back grow...


PULLUPS

 

[Robboe]

Pull downs and pull ups in the same session can be diminsihing.

A good back workout would consist of:

a power movement e.g. deadlift [2 sets]

a vertical row e.g. a pull up, chin, pull down etc..[2 sets]

and a horizontal row e.g. DB row, BB row etc...[2 sets]

Then you can throw in 2 sets of DB shrugs for your traps if you find it necessary.

Hey thats my back workout.

Aim for between 6 to 10 sets and as robboe said 1 horizontal, 1 vertical and either deads or powercleans or hyper extensions.

Dont use straps or a belt unless you really have to.

And remember improve each week.

 

[Robboe]

Then providing you don't use too many sets it's a very good back routine!

Oh, and straps are not your enemy. You do deadlifts for your back, not your forearms, therefore if your grip sucks don't be afraid to use straps. If i never used straps my grip would give out before my back and would mean i'm not stimulating my back as much as a could/should be.

 

[Tuna Guy]

Unless you perform specific forearm work then deads without the use of straps are great for building them up and improving grip strength. A strong grip is the focal point of energy transfer in most exerises and without a strong grip you are selling yourself short.
