You all know what I'm talking about! When you see someone with a HUGE back that looks like they got wings!! What are some good exercises for achieving a great back?
absolutely agree... im always the most sore after doing these and thats using the same exact volume as a day where i would do pullDOWNSwide grip pullups
Bump again on MatD's reply.Bump on Matthews Reply, Wide Grip Pullups
yeah man that's ok. i started out only doing that much, and now i do 3 sets of 20-25reps. once you start to work those muscles they strengthen pretty quick.I never do pullups. When I have I can only get 6-7 at a time. Is that on ok rep range? I'll start doing them if it is.
are you using a pronated or supinated grip? Try the other and see if your back feels like its being more involved. Form is crucial, and im guessing you body's positioned too high. Bend down so your back is flat and as close to parallel to ground as possible. It might be as simple as you being not low enough and/or using too much weight, and leading to momentum swinging the weight up.Talking about back exercises, can anybody explain or share how they try to 'feel' the lats during say barbell rows? When i do them, i can't feel my back working at all but the biceps instead. Any tips guys?
1 set 60lbI'm using the grip with my palms towards my body. Going parallel or near that makes it very hard to lift heavy. So its ok to use a light weight? How much do you guys row?
i totally agree. My back has grown alot from core lifts. Not pullups or pulldowns or whatever.Those are all great suggestions, but a wide back is NOTHING if it isn't thick enough. One word my friends...DEADLIFT.
Deadlift, and deadlift HEAVY and the back of your dreams shall be yours quite soon.
