    I think it's a percentage of your age subtracted from 220.

    Target Heart Rate = .65(220 - 20) = 130

    I think the percentage range is anywhere b/w 60% - 70%.

    Deadlifts are the best back exercise and IMO a very close second to squats in terms of best overall exercise. I do regular deadlifts on my back day and SLDLs on my leg day.

    I would also suggest...
