Nice... if you dont mind me asking, whats your back "routine" consist of?

[Stonecold54]

its a secret back routine, hehe

no really- lets see. I deadlift for reps usually around 10 per set. usually do pullups or assisted pullups for longer sets. Rear delt machine, low pulley rows with a semi wide parallel grip.

on days I don't deadlift I put barbell bent over rows in the routine.

on all my movements I don't do more than 2 sets and about 4 total movements for my entire back. I recently started to add in reverse grip pulldowns every other workout.

looks good - yeah you gotta be picky when putting together a routine for back - there are so many exercises that hit it
but deads and pull ups should be a staple

I find just the opposite...there are very few exercises for me that really squeeze the back muscles. number one because the arms and shoulders are usually the weak link because the back is so strong. I don't have a pullover machine in my gym to pre-exhaust my lats which sucks. I always go lighter than I would normally on another muscle and slow the contraction down on all my back exercises to emphasize the movement. especially on the machine rows and assisted pullups.

lol okay I will write it out in standard form

Deadlifts 1 set 10-12 reps
Low pulley Rows 1 set
Assisted pullups 1 set
assisted pullups -parallel grip 1 set
Rear Delt- 1 set

on non-deadlift days I do bent over rows for 1 set

to change my routine I throw in extra sets here and there or intensity variables on one or two of the sets...my favorite are pullup holds at the top of the motion
