| :harbl:   | Upper back thickness Seems like my upper back isn't/hasn't developed as much as I'd like it too. I've got thick erectors, but my upper back doesn't seem to do as well. What would you vets recommend I try? Right now all i'm doing to back are pullups, narrow grips and dumbell rows. I cannot deadlift, barbellrow or anything else that requires my back to support itselt (bulged disc). Thoughts? To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 0 or greater.

| LG Science Board Rep! Board Sponsor  | Id like to see what is thrown around in here as well. My traps are pretty decent, middle back thickness for me sucks though.

| Registered User  | One arm bent over rows would seem like a good choice in your situation, that and weighted pull ups. Also if you cant do barbell rows, perhaps the next best thing would be supine rows. They don't put undue stress on the back, and if done correctly can have a nice effect. |

| Muscle Pharm Rep  | Chest Supported Rows! Your gym should have some sort of machine for this, but if not you can just lay on your stomach on an incline bench and use dumbbells. Scapular shrugs are another good one, much like before lay on your stomach on an incline bench and just pull your shoulder blades back. If you have a double cable station you can do a bunch of different rowing and pulldown movements with and incline or upright bench supporting your body. Just keep you stomach and chest on the back of the bench at all times and really focus on form with the movements. ****MusclePharm**** What's In Your Arsenal?

| Registered User  | Not sure but can you do these reverse pull ups? Perhaps with feet on a bench to make them harder and a close underhand grip: |

| Registered User | Yeah, thats the supine row. You can do it from multiple angles. PMils offered a good suggestion with the bench rows. I've been doing them on an incline bench, with dumbells and a neutral grip. Slow controlled movements are key, and the upperback gets isolated quite nicely. |
