Advanced Back Workout – This Back Workout Is All You Need

In my previous article I talked about body weight back exercises. In this advanced back workout, all of these will require equipment, like that found in a gym. You’ll never build a back that’s as big as house without an advanced training exercises. Like every part of your body, if you want it to look it’s best you must train it, hard. There are no exceptions, no hidden rules for a chosen few, it takes hard work. Sure genetics have a large part in how big you are going to get. As I have said all along, our goal here is to help you look the best you can look and still have fun. No rehearsal’s here, one life, better make sure you mix in a lot of fun! For now, get to work on building that V-shaped torso  which also build a more prominent chest, improve posture, and get broad shoulders. Here are my five best movements to get a strong and balanced back.

Before doing any exercise, especially something like this Advanced Back Workout, make sure you are physically fit enough to handle. if your not sure, consult a doctor or personal trainer at your gym (you don’t have to hire him, just show hime the workout)

Romain deadlift row

Start  standing upright, holding a weighted barbell on your thighs with your arms straight and feet shoulder width apart. Shift your hips back, lowering the barbell to mid-shin with your legs straight and back flat. Lift the barbell up to your chest, bending at your elbows. Return to the upright position, keeping your back flat throughout. That’s one  rep. Do three sets, 8 reps each.

Uni rotational row

We will finish off our advanced back workout with these Uni rotational rows.  Remember this is a superset, meaning you go straight from the inverted rows to these. You can then rest 90 seconds before going back to the inverted rows. Do 3 sets of both.

Attach a handle to a cable pulley machine at its lowest position. Kneel on one knee holding a handle in the hand on the same side with your arms straight, you’re back flat. Hold the handle straight into your chest and rotate your upper body up to this side. Lower the handle back to a straight arm position and repeat. Complete all sets on one side before switching to the other side. Do 3 sets of 8 reps each.
