My Back Workout - Sunday 12/28/14

My Back Workout

(Upper Body Pull Workout)

Frequency is the key to my workouts these days. So I don't generally stick with one muscle group like a typical bodybuilding workout.

I have a major muscle I work for that day but I also add in other muscles as well.

Yesterday was a pressing day. Bench was the main lift.

1. First exercises was neutral grip pull up.

• Done with a 25 pound weight.
• as many reps as possible in 5 minutes.

2A. Seated Row

• Wide grip
• 5 sets of 5
• Last set was for maximum reps.
• Added a strict drop set.

2B. Floor Press

• Heavy. But doable.
• 5x3
• Last set was for maximum reps.

3A. High T-bar row

• 4x8

3B. Cable Lateral Raise

• 4x12

4A. Lat Sweep

• 4x12

4B. Band Push Down

• 100 total reps

4C. Cable Biceps Curls

• 4x12

Something A Little Different For My Workout

Today I did something a little different. I wanted to get in the gym but not kill myself. So I did some high rep stuff with the suspension straps.

First group of exercises.
5 rounds of...
1. suspension strap planche Push ups x 20
2. suspension strap Inverted rows x 20
3. Double unders x40
4. Landmine Rainbows x7

Followed that up with
5 sets of...
1. suspension strap triceps extensions x 20
2. suspension strap biceps curls x 20
3. Side plan lateral raises x 15

That did it for the day. Nothing too fancy but it got the juices flowing. Ready to hit it hard on Monday.

One Arm Row Variation

The one arm row (OAR) is a great back exercise. It's a staple in my training routines. Not only do I do it myself but I put it into the programs I design for others.

I'm not a big fan of the bent over row. But I do include it in my training from time to time because of the big loads that can be used and the overhand grip.

What I have found to be a great alternative to the the bent over row is what I like to call the Business End Landmine Row.

Withe the BELM you can load up the weight and use the pronated grip to get more back activation.

If your dumbbells don't go up that high this exercise is a must. 

If you want to get an incredible grip workout do a few burnout sets without straps. This will set your forearms on fire.

For the heavier sets straps are needed.

Check out the Business End Landmine Row and let me know what you think.

25 Bodyweight Exercises To Replace Traditional Weight Lifting Exercises

The great thing about body weight exercises is that you can use them anytime anywhere.

I hate to have my workout slowed down waiting for equipment or weight. Bodyweight exercises are perfect in these situations.

Another way I like to incorporate body weight exercises into my workout routines is to use them as part of a superset.

Example for a chest workout.

Exercise 1a is a heavy dumbbell incline press.
exercise 1b is a push up variation.

Depending on how tired I am will dictate what push up variation I use.
