My goal is to thicken up my back some more and work on that lower too. Any advice or thoughts hit me with it.

Good job bro. Upload a pic hitting a rear lat spread if you could. Your waist looks tight from the back. Underhand rows to hit those lower lats to bring it all together.

I haven’t done underhand grip on lifts for awhile but will start incorporating them. I also started doing some heavy t bar rows and I couldn’t believe how tight my mid section felt the next day I haven’t had that in awhile. Thanks for all the info guys!

Get a belt with chain to hold the weights when doing pull ups...weighted push ups are good for mass too.

Yeah man! Since this post I’ve actually been doing those! Backs coming together nicely and getting thicker. I should do some weighted pushups I haven’t done those in a long time.

It is all about angles to target each area.

Rows are a staple to thickness and they come in a variety of types from cables/barbell/dumbbell etc.

Getting in some decently heavy days while ensuring you get some high volume ones in too (really get that blood engorged into the area desired) that will be lighter but all about the squeeze.

When doing back heavy what low reps range are you at?

exoticnfit's picture

Based on my age and experience I prefer to not go lower than 8reps to ensure form is near perfect with as heavy a weight as possible.

High rep range for volume (per exercise) is 12-30reps with usually 2-4 exercises done per set.

I maximize the squeeze and hold and vary the T.U.T.

Wide grip chin ups ...close grip setted pulls rows

Width and mass every time when mixed with other back exercises

Chest and back in the same session is a great mass builder ...push / pull routine and then add a couple of extra back exercises later during the same week.

I’ve been incorporating wides in my routine I start with seated rows then do 5 sets of wide to failure. I’ve been feeling a difference. I do need to start hitting deadlifts more. I’ve been experiencing crazy pip lately like never before to where it’s hard to walk, bend, do normal shit.

Yeah man shoulders look awesome, maybe some more dead lifts.
Be nice to see the old biceps too

I know my friend took it, wasn’t the best shot. Will have to get a better one in more light.

Damnit, I don’t know why it’s sideways??

If you turn your phone sideways when you take the picture it will load straight. Shoulders look great. Work the back more until it catches up,
