Blast away big back!

I wanted to try something new. Cuz I was putting some thought into it and I think I've been doing lag pull downs wrong or just poorly. My lats are surprisingly small when it comes to traditional posing so I need to find out what the deal is.

solution = pullups
back needs to be hit from many angles imo, not just focusing on width & depth
pulldowns are useful, but pullups are harder; if you can do pullups, start doing them

When I say I am working on width or thickness I mainly just mean the tracking of my elbows on say bent overs or the accessory movements towards the end. I mainly go for free weights as much as possible for back so I think that accounts for the variable angle dilemma.

I found out I wasn't rolling my shoulders back enough and if I kept a slighter arch in my back I get a way fuller contraction.

I will try pull ups in a couple weeks. I like changing one thing at a time and seeing how that plays out im not a guy that changes everything every week that's mind numbing and you don't know what really works

[TheSaiyan]

4 caps creatrona
Didn't feel like mixing powder since I was using a Powerade bottle for pre and I didn't want it getting caught in the ridges

ah okay gotchya, working mind-muscle connection (good for you)
free weights FTW - I own no machines, just free/cables/pullup bar built into ceiling
old school, I am

Holding those contractions is a must with back especially. Good session bud.

I agree. I find it too easy to cheat the rep when you don't hold it at the top.

basically
I need to start doing pull ups again but it's been so long and I'm much heavier than I was the last time I religiously forced myself to do them.

Sick set up though bubba

Indeed, to be honest sometimes I lose all interest in working out but I still force myself to go.
Had to rekindle my interest and stop just going through the motions, now this is what it's all about!

Eating so much carbs today, might as well make it my refeed. My cheating has slowed down a lot and when I do cheat I make good choices that I can easily work into my daily calorie pool, that makes me really excited.

Becoming more routine and takes a lot less thinking, makes my life easier and I can worry about other things.

Just a quick thought

[TheSaiyan]

[TheSaiyan]

Pretty good man thanks for asking

thats what I like to hear!

most of the new reps kinda go into remission and just study and learn more about the products themselves and how to represent a company I guess.

Just a trend I noticed and one that I took part in myself so just wanted to see what was up
