Incorporating Deads

[bignate73]

do a row motion, a pull down motion and deads. covers all bases.

My back workout is;

Pull-ups x 3
Deads 5x5
close grip pull-ups (palms facing each other) x 2
barbell rows x2

If you can't do pull-ups then pull-downs.

Doing barbell bent over rows after deadlifting is waiting for a catastrophy to happen, IMHO. I think it's quite tough having both in the same workout, but if you insist, do the bent over rows before the deads, so your lower back can support you. I'd say:

Deadlifts
Chins
Dumbbell rows

I would suggest keeping it simple. I prefer to start with deads as it cuts down my working weight quite a bit if I do the other stuff first. The rest depends on priorities; if lat width is a priority as opposed to front to back thickness, i would suggest doing some sort of chin or pulldown after deads, followed by a rowing exercise. And since traps are alreayd getting hit hard a few sets of shrugs would finish up back nicely. Myself I do shoulders the same day, so I have a few more sets in there, but this is what I would suggest
deads
pulldowns or chins
rows(cable, t bar, etc)
shrugs
Simple but very effective

I would suggest keeping it simple.

I was gonna say the same thing.

My FAVE

good thread BTW and replies


ok my fave



one arm DB rows
hammer stength pulldowns
rear dealt raise
Deadlifts...............


the deads finish it off and make your lats flare all the ways down to your waiste insertion

I do deads last after chins and rows. I think your just asking for trouble doing rows after deads.

 

[Tom Treutlein]

It's a matter of preference in terms of the order which the exercises are done, but I find myself enjoying:

Deadlifts
Wide-grip Chins
Shrugs
Bentover Rows

Switch it up as you feel necessary to prioritize.
