Mass-Building Back Workout

I feel it is important to "hit" your back from a variety of angles and to train it very heavy.   Another big factor in back training is to isolate your back and take the arms (biceps) out of play as much as possible.  This is done by using weights that are heavy, yet manageable and by squeezing or contracting your back on every single rep - not just throwing the weight back with momentum generated by your whole body.   With all this in mind, here is a great sample mass-building back workout.

Choose one exercise from each group per workout.   Vary it as much as possible from workout to workout.   As always, make sure you are warmed up properly before beginning any workout.

Group 1: Deadlifts
Bent Over Rows
4 x 3
4 x 6
Group 2: T-Bar Rows
Cable Rows
1-Arm Dumbbell Rows
4 x 8
4 x 8
4 x 8
Group 3: Pulldowns to Front
Pulldowns to Rear
Chin Ups
4 x 12
4 x 10
4 x 8

Try this workout and you will be on the road to a bigger back.

Note: Before embarking on any nutrition, supplementation, and/or training program, consult with your physician or other licensed health-care professional.
