Back Exercise order

[tinx2ms808]

After free weights in what order do you do seated row & lat pull downs?

I been doing seated rows then lat pull downs.

I been switching it up to keep growing, just wondering what order the majority of people do rows & pull downs in.

Thanks for your feedback

Ordered most to least difficult to me personally

Back
-Pull-ups 12
-T-bar Row 225
-Bent Over Row 155
-Seated Row 160
-Lat Pull Down 160
-Inverted Row 12
-Back Extensions 20

It's usually best to do body part exercises ordered from your most- to least-difficult. IOW, those exercises that you feel are toughest for you should be performed when you have the most energy to bring to bear on them.


Past that, it's important to decide on a lineup and then stick with it so that week-to-week, you can compare weight/sets/reps in relative fashion so that you can evaluate your rate of progression.

I alternate days. One back day I'll start with pulldowns and then do rows, on the next I'll start with rows and then pulldowns.

I like doing deads on my back day, ever consider?

Wow, my back routine and weight/reps looks almost identical to yours. I also like to vary the order that the exercises are done in with the exception being pull ups, I always do those 1st.

I've always loved and believed in dead lifts, it's a great mass builder and essential to developing a great back.

Unfortunately I had to take them out of my routine a couple weeks ago due to chronic back pain.

I practiced very strict form and they were even therapeutic. Since I can't do them anymore, I added additional back exercises to my routine to make up for it.
