Need BACK THICKNESS!

[Morgan]

Pullups, one-armed dumbell rows, pullups, bent over rows, pullups. Deadlifts will help a lot as well.


Did I mention pullups will put on crazy mass?


Seriously, pullups will do the most for you. And, if you are like me, I don't have a lot of upper body strength yet (recovering from spinal surgery), so I can only do 5-6 reps for 4 sets, start doing dips. Dips will help with overall tricep and chest strength, and help with the pullups.

If this is a problem, try sets of wide grip chin ups for a bit until you get the upper body strength for pullups.



BTW, even partials on pullups will help a lot.:D

heres the magic potion...
barbell rows
chin ups
dumbell rows
shrugs(for rear trap thickness hunch back slightly forward)
dead lifts
the key is to keep it heavy but only enough weight that you can keep under control

I have to report back that in my last few workouts since this post I have started incoporating low pulley rows with a machine. I use perfect form with a 4/1/4/1 cadence. I have notice my back is a lot tighter and it feels bigger already. I used to leave them out when I was younger because they hurt my shoulders (rotators) but I have to say that now that I have tried them again they are winners in my book.

I'd have to disagree with some of the above advice about the various forms of pullups for back thickness. The best thing is gonna be deads.

All chins and pulldown exercises add more width to the back than they do thickness.
#1 - Deadlifts
#2 - T-Bars
#3 - Barbell Rows
#4- Dumbell Rows
#5 - Cable Rows.
All of these are thickening movements.Do one pulldown type exercise, with two of the above, and always do deadlifts for overall back impressiveness,they are the best thing you can do !!

:agree:
