Bodybuilding Exercises - Blasting Your Back! Part 1

Its been working GREAT! thanks so much for the advice, i can really feel it working

Keep the form and eventually the reps will come.

so when I do these i can only get 3 nice ones or about 3 and I think im building up is this a positive result? ahaha

Ill try the cinderblock thing for now, cant access the gym till school starts up again. Thanks alot for the advice and youtube vids. keep on rockin out and rippin up.

We have been busy finishing the e-book on weight training . Once we finish the book which can be found on my site in late January you will start to see more video's. The book will be a very valuable tool complete with workoutouts for beginers ,intermidiate and advanced weight trainers. It will have pictures demonstrating diffrent back exercises that will help with width and thickness.

If you have access to a machine called a gravitron at your gym start using it. If not a chair or block placed under the chin up bar will help. Stand on the block and jump up and try to hold and lower yourself slowly. Eventually you will build up to being able to perform the positive portion of the exercise.

Ok so im fat and doing something about it. I can't do a pullup yet, whats the best way to increase my strength to be able to do these? Im already running regularly to trim the extra weight.

Could you like make a video for your back other than chin ups, as in rows. Thanks and love all the puns LOL
Blasting your Back
Chisel your Chest
Sharpen your Shoulders

Very clever :D

Go up to the shoulders for the best contraction.

for both barbell and also dumbell upright rows, on the concentric movement, do i bring the bar or dumbells up to shoulder height or was it up to mid chest i think? do you know where to stop the concentric Mike. thanks man

i hate wide grip pull ups, but they are by far the best to widen ya back...at first i coudl only do 6, but if u stick wit it, you'll be able to do plenty

I personally think if performed correcly the pull- up is the best exercise for the back. The pulldowns will help you build up the strength you need to eventually perform each rep of the pull -up correcly.

Do think lat pulldowns are a good fur building your back as chin ups.

with one word

superb!!!
keep up the good work

Excellent work Michael. I see so many people extending and pausing at the bottom. That I began to think I was doing them wrong. You've reinforced my belief on the proper way to perform pull-ups. I also heard if you couldn't go "wide" you really weren't hitting your back effectively.
