*Best Mass-Builder For BACK?*

[musketeer]

If you could only pick one exercise to build a complete back it would have to be bent over bar rows - hits lats, traps, erectors, rear delts and the "cookie cutter" muscles. If you could only do two, then drop the rows and do chins followed by deads. But you don't have to do just one or two. So use chins, deads and rows and clean variations.

Reverse or neutral grip rows...

now that's interesting. Some detail on why you feel this way please?

i love doing rows!! they work just fine as well considering my own progress.

I did rack chins, BB rows and deads on tuesday, day after I was fine. On chest/bi's day (yesterday) I did pullovers and underhand chins and suddenly now my lats are sore as fuck and my lower traps too...

Deadlifts
Rows
Chins

I think you need em all for complete development.
Snatches do a lot for my back too though. My upper back grows in a whole different way from the Olympic lifts.

All i really do is deadlifts and bent rows and my back has bulked up since 7 months ago. I'm trying to raise my chins now by doing assisted chinups.

Yates ROW

 

[Unit 2005]

Deadlifts are excellent for strength and contribute to overall body mass increases but specifically adding muscle to your back - Bent over barbell rows are the king.

are yates rows like not standing parallel but a little more upright?
