Back Exercises

[Nick!]

Hey guys,

I've noticed that my rear delts and my lats are really lagging behind in growth. Is there anything that you guys would suggest I add into my workouts to improve those areas? I already to lat pulldowns, bent over rows, rear delt raises with dumbells, etc. I just can't make them grow!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks,

Nick

get some wrist straps and do heavy dead lifts and heavy dumbbell rows . you might want to work back twice a week . one for thickness and the other for width . do that for 6 weeks .

My new routine is:
Bent over rows
Deadlifts w/ light weight
Single arm dumbell rows
Chins

Tiring workout, especially since I do bis after I'm done.

this is the hardest for alot of guys. alot of bent over rows. get a bench and set it at about 25 degree incline, facing it and lean against it and do front rows with dumbbells. add thes 2 exercises for about 2 months and you'll see a big change. crazehate has some killer looking shoulders.

1. Always start with your heavy compound rowing movements.

2. Flare & flex your lats every rep as hard as you can.

try muscle priortizing where you work that area first on the muscle group day . it should work.

That's a good one David. I need to try this one out.

I take it you don't place too much weight with your head on the bench correct?

A really good technique I learned a while ago. Always keep your back straight, head up and butt out a bit.

Before you actually pull the weight back (for example close grip rows), try pulling your shoulders back only a little so that when you pull the actual weight back, you're isolating your back muscles and not pulling back with your shoulders.

All awesome advice! I'm going to be incorporating this stuff ASAPPPPP.

Thanks!!
