      Bent over barbells used to be my bread and butter. But right now if I do a proper workout takes me over a week to recover. Chest supported still hurts a bit but I recover way faster 2 days at most. I may be fortunate by gym has 3 different angles chest supported back machines. As well as a seal row

      I do 4 sets of 15 of these beginning of every back day. I feel like besides getting the blood flowing it also helps exhaust my bicep a little bit so my back is worked better the remainder of the workout.

      Was just going to say. Watch Seth feroce videos on YouTube. Really had hard time really isolating my last. Getting the mind to muscle connection. And I went with his tips. The next day I was so sore in the last. By believe it or not by actually listening to him changing my grip and going lighter weight on those couple work outs. I really felt huge difference. He even has good way explaining shrugs. How to get that mind to muscle connection. Doesn’t just say now I’m gonna do 4 sets of shrugs with DUMBELLS and leave it at that. He actually gets into detail. Check him out al his videos. He’s legit.
      FAST LIFE

      Great advice here so far. Focus on form and plenty of volume. Be sure to do that least two different rowing movements and a pulldown. Trust me one row is never enough as your rowing muscles can take a beating! I do barbell rows which hit my upper back, then dumbbell rows to really focus on the stretch and squeeze in the lower lat. A third row such as a machine or hammer strength row would be a good finisher for extra volume, then pulldowns for your width which is easy to build. Deadlifts also hit the lats in a unique way too.

      Lot of guys saying go heavier, in my experience u r probably going to heavy & not getting a full contraction & a complete mind muscle connection u r just moving weights.
      Snook mentioned Seth Feroce's vids, they r great & he really focuses on mind muscle connection not just moving big weights.

      As others have said I’m a firm believer in compound exercises unless limited because of an injury. I would be focusing on heavy deadlifts, rows, straight leg deadlifts, and pull ups always at the end of my back routine 3-4 sets to failure you will have to start with just body weight at first but can eventually work up to weighted pull ups .

      Agreed. This is one of the few back exercises that I can count on to get me sore in the right places every time. I like to throw a plate on, go to failure, strip it off and keep going for a drop set.
