Great Back Day!!

[method2madness]

I just had a great back day! You know those days when everything in the gym just comes together perfectly?!
Wide grip pull-ups: Bodyweight for 4 sets; repped as many as possible.
Standing cable push/pull ins: 90 lbs. ; 3 sets, repped out to fatigue, not failure.
Close grip pull-downs: super slow, 130 lbs. 3 sets for maximum fatigue
Single arm DB row 85lbs. 3 sets to failure
High grip hammer row 90 lbs per side, 3 sets to fatigue
Close grip t-bar row, old school style with the bar jammed in the corner of the wall: 135 lbs, 3 sets to failure
Standing straight bar cable curls 90 lbs; 3 sets to failure
Standing alternating dumbbell curls: 35 lbs per arm; 3 sets to failure.
It's a pretty straight forward session and I did most of these things super slow just to make it hurt a bit more cause I'm crazy like that
Peace and good health to all

I personally love weight chins and pull-ups. For my rows I like bent over rows and t-bar rows. 1-arm dumbbell rows are great as well.

Deads and bent over rows are #1 depending on what your goal are? I know that some people can't do Rows or Dead due to previous or current injury, but I do My dead at least 2 times a month. One Dead the next week Hyper extensions back and forth. The bent over rows I do them every week and chins are done depending on what part of my back I reall want or need to focus on. I always get 50 reps with chins using my BW. T-bar rows are a fave also.

What is your rep range there M2M?

For lower back pain and to strengthen deads. reverse hyper extensions if you can find a machine that is.

Deads and bet barbell rows are done on days when I'm not doing the t-bars. Deads are DEFINITELY a part of my regular routine. I believe a bodybuilder truly can't develop the thick, strong back successfully without some form of deads. You can always tell the guy on stage who neglects the back work.
Also, I cycle my rep ranges on each 4 day body part rotation. I vary between 4-8, and 8-12 reps depending on strength levels. There are also usually a few drop/super/pyramid/whatever sets thrown in for fun when the mood strikes. Back and legs are my favorite body parts so I tend to go a bit crazy with them.
Peace and good health to you all
