Bodyboyzunited.com: The ultimate leader in men's fitness!

If you’re looking for a way to a thick, wider and muscular back then try our superset back workout. Start off with Wide-Grip Pull-ups.

 

If you could do only one back exercise the wide-grip pull-up is the one to choose, because of its efficiency and its ability to inflict widespread damage (and resulting growth) across the full expanse of your back musculature.

 

Start: Jump up and take a wide overhead grip on a fixed overhead bar, wrapping your thumbs around the bar for safety. Hang freely from the bar, arms fully extended and feet crossed behind you.

 

The Rundown: Contract your lats to raise your chin over the bar, concentrating on pulling your elbows down and out to your sides

to raise yourself. Hold yourself momentary in the peak-contracted position before lowering yourself down to the dead-hang position.

 

Second: The One-Arm Dumbbell Row.

The one-arm dumbbell row can serve as a stellar “anchor” exercise in a back routine, targeting the lower lats. Here however, you likely won’t be able to handle quite as much weight as you normally, since it’s the back end of a superset and it follows a torturous bout of bent-over rows and pull-ups. However, what you can’t handle in weight, you can make up for in executing each rep with perfect form, feeling the contraction thread throughout your lats to your spine.

 

Start: Bend forward at the waist and place one knee and the same-side hand on the seated row bench (or flat bench). Keep your other foot on the floor beside the bench and hold a dumbbell with the same-side arm, hanging straight down with your arm fully extended.

 

The Rundown: Pull the dumbbell toward your hip, keeping your elbow in close to your body throughout and raising it as high as you can, squeezing your shoulder blades together for a full contraction. Lower the weight along the sme path. Repeat for reps and then switch arms.
