my back day

fqqs

New member
Lat pulldowns /or Pullups 3 x 10-12
Seated rows 3 x 10-12
DB Rows 3 x 10-12
Deadlifts 3 x 4-6
only work sets are listed


What do you think about it?

Most sets to concentric failure (excluding deads)

Adding weight when I exceed rep range in the first 1-2 sets
 
I think it can be good.

Im chaing my previous back routine because I stopped seeing gains from it and i guess I need sth new


I put deads last, because after all that back work I feel deads are a really good finisher and they dont suffer much if i do them last.



My deads poundage, for example:

1x135x15 1x205x8 1x285x3 (warmup sets)
335 x 6
3 min rest
335 x 5
3.5 min rest
335 x 4


or DB Rows

60 x 15 (warmup set)
100 x 12
2 min rest
100 x 11
2 min rest
100 x 9

Deadlifts first they are not a finisher

Is there purpose behind choosing both seated and DB rows fqq?

Thanks
 
So it should be rather


Deadlifts 3 x 4-6
Lat pulldowns /or Pullups 3 x 10-12
Seated rows 3 x 10-12
DB Rows 3 x 10-12
Face Pulls 3 x 10-12



I ve chose DB Rows because for a long time ive been doing BB Rows and I want to avoid boredom. And DB Row is still a decent movemtn , isnt it?

Yes but I'm wondering/interested why you choose seated as well as standing?

Otherwise, as hammerhead states go with what work for you.

I just like to know the thought processes in choosing certain exercises.
 
Im assuming this is for bodybuilding purposes, thus deadlifts can be a good finisher if you're not concerned about the poundages you're lifting.

You need to form your own opinion on the routine about what your goals are and how you like to train.

For example, my methods on back training.

When bodybuilding I do deads second, after heavy Pull-ups (sets of 5), as this way i get get the most out of both exercises. Usually with dead's first im unable to complete my back workout at 100% due to seeing stars. Then i would finish with 1 or 2 exercises in the higher rep range focusing on repetition timing/negative emphasis/feel blah blah blah etc.

For example
Pullups (3 x 5) Moving max weight focus
Deadlifts (3 x 5)
Back exercise 3 (3 x 10-15) Time under tension focus
Back exercise 4 (3 x 10-15)
 
Looks fine to me. No different to any other back workout you usually see people doing so i'm sure it will work for you too.
