On of the most neglected topics is back, aside from wheels..

So do you know your row?

Let's hear some of your back routines...

Recently I decided to revamp my back routine, not simply for the principle of "Change just to change", but rather incorp something that works and been proven from the cornfed monsters that brought us some of the best physiques to ever step on stage!

These are what we could call a basic moments, yet unseen or recognized in the text books!

Founded by Mr.Meadows are his infamous "LEVER" rows & other movements..


The one arm lever Bar row: (2 variations)

The 2 hand lever bar row: (I've used attachments also such as the neutral grip lat row/V bar, medium neutral grip lat bar

"Lats" but not least -

Trap bar row: (palms in with the design really helps you compress more and annihilate your lats the straight bar doesn't allow this)

The range of motion with these are GREAT..But take notice to his hip being propped, It's all about having the hip lower of the side you're not working..



These can be absolutely brutal, and I've noticed an improvement over the past several week!

This isn't my entire routine, but rather what I incorporated and what a huge difference..

Share some of your back routines..Let's hear it!

Back day-

Deadlift up to a heavy triple

Wide pull-ups to failure: four sets
Narrow PU palms facing to fail: four sets
Wide lat pulldown to failure:four sets, drop set each set twice
Narrow palm facing pulldown:four sets, drop set each set twice
Barbell row:4X6-12
Standing cable row:4X10-16
Seated close grip palms facing cable row:4X6-12
Seated wide grip cable row:4X6-12
All sets to failure with an emphasis on muscle contraction and the eccentric portion of the movements. It gets brutal.
