The back workout

One of my friends at misc asked about my Back workout. Here it is. I train deadlift on my legdays so all I'm really doing on backday is several pulling exercises.

I always start out with chins. Chins is done in two different ways. Hi-rep or low-rep. If I'm doing hi-rep, I do four or five sets ow 15-30 chins with bodyweight. If I work low-reps, the routine is 3-4 sets with 60-110 pounds added weight. On the last two sets I often throw in a drop-set by just dropping the weight and finish of with bodyweight.

After that I alternate between horizontal and vertical pulling exercises and some pullovers, machine or cabel, wide cobra and one armed exercises. Rep-range is 10-12 but I often build up the sets by adding plates. Let's take T-bar rows. I start out with 12x200 pounds, then 12x220, 10x240 and 8x260. I try to have a good variation each time for my secondary exercises.

A typical back workout will look something like this:

Chins - 10xBW, 10xBW+40lbs, 8xBW+50lbs, 7xBW+60, 6xBW+70lbs, 5xBW+80lbs
T-bar row - 12x200lbs, 12x220lbs, 10x240lbs, 8x260
Pulldown - 12x200lbs, 12x200lbs, 10x220lbs, 8x240lbs
Cable pullover - 12x80lbs, 12x80lbs, 12x80lbs
Rack chins - max reps for 3 sets (don't give up, you can always do one more...)
