What's wrong with my back development?
Hey guys, I'm posting a couple of pictures of my back. I want to improve its weak points. I'm 6 feet tall and I weigh around 165 pounds. I'm not sure if my upper back is a weak point or not. Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, cgandenb1 |

The first thing I notice is the lats needing some more mass to give you more shape.

Great detail, but you need to gain some thickness.
Whats your training like? |

The back routine that I've been doing once per week is:
Close-Grip Pulldowns - 3 sets of 8-10 reps Wide-Grip Behind the Neck Chins - 3 sets of 8-10 reps *I do assisted chins to get any reps that I'm unable complete on regular chins One-Arm Dumbbell Rows - 3 sets of 8-10 reps Bent-Over Barbell Rows - 3 sets of 8-10 reps Shrugs - 3 sets of 8-10 reps Bent-Over Lateral Raises - 3 sets of 8-10 reps Someone told me that my upper back is lagging behind my lower back. I'm not sure if they were right or if they didn't know what they were talking about. I've been researching back development since then, and the more I've read about it the more confused I've gotten. Thank you, cgandenb1 |

You need to build power and mass, cut down your No of total sets, cut your excercises down to say three excercises of three sets at 8-12 reps a set and train harder;
EG shoulder width pulldowns 3 sets Bent over rows 3 sets One arm dumbells 3 sets every other weak substitute deadlifts for bent over rows (keep good form) Up your protien intake |

If you need any info on deadlifts, drop me a PM. I've been to a few powerlifting meets and have a good form. I started out about your size about 5 years ago. I went from pulling 225# max DL to 550# raw now days at a 215# body weight. I think I could pull around 600 if I got some serious training in, but anyhow, deadlifts are an awesome exercise for building some mass but you must do them right.
