Neglecting back is a huge mistake

[bigdogfarmhand]

Can't fathom why anyone would skip back day, deadlifts are so hngggggggggg.
Seriously my favorite part of the week is when I get to deadlift, grunting like an animal.

I like the pump on back day....then u get home and slam some protein and ur back gets all tingly

[ace333]

back/shoulders is my favorite day so much hnnnnggggggg

[HJB12]

back movements are my favorite. DL, rows, pulldown, pullup...

[hostelmaniac]

Pullups, Dumbbell Row, Seated Cable Row



hngggggg


then you move on to lateral raises, shrugs, and a rear delt exericse...



back/shoulders is a good workout

[Insanity_SC]

always silently laugh to myself when guys walk around the gym, all puffed up and chests out, look decent from the front...and zero trap and back width. shoulders should be wider than your waist unless you've only been the gym...maybe 3 weeks.

At least 8/10 guys I see with decent chests and arms have nonexistent back development. And lo and behold...their back routines consist of pullups and 60lb DB rows.

agreed also has a social effect, when you turn your back on someone and they can see the otherline of your lats and spinal effectors...it sends a powerful message.

[wickedman]

Neglecting any major body section is going to leave you looking / feeling like a twat.

what are the 2 best exercises for back. not including deadlifts

idk if I can narrow it to only 2 best exercises. but i'd say if you were forced to only do 2...and rack deadlifts are also excluded....HEAVY DB rows and neutral grip (or v grip, or whatever) pulldowns so you can go HEAVY.

ironically, those are the 2 exercises everyone does already. but guys for some reason do these ridiculously ass-assed and light. if you're going to do some chitty form pullups with a 5 lb plate for weight and half assed DB rows...then a lot more volume and exercise variation is going to be needed.

never once seen a decent back on a guy that either didn't do huge weight on compounds (like 500+ deadlift and 130+ db rows for 12+ reps) or KILLED back with lots of volume. I HAVE seen chests on guys who do mediocre weight and low volume. Never back though.

[tank2003]

Not training back will create a muscle instability. If you only train chest then your shoulders will eventually start to pull forward and the head will soon follow

thanks brah. Due to an injury I cant perform any overhead pulling movements. I've been relying on dumbbell rows and seated rows since I've been back in the gym.

This has me considering swapping conventional deads for snatch grip with straps.

[TheTwiglet]

EDIT: Never deadlift.

No, I'm still lifting and old pic.
End game is 95kg (209lb) @ 9%

[AK11]

while it is true overpowering delts and pecs can **** up your shoulders, so can over powering lats

True but his question led me to believe his front was already overpowering. Which is also why I said not to completely neglect chest training.

Back muscles is best muscles

Srs af, back is everything. U want a bigger bench, get a bigger back. U want a bigger squat, build a bigger back. U want a bigger deadlift, work ur foking back.

See so many dudes with huge chests and huge arms only maxing like 275 or so on bench, so many dudes with huge legs maxing 315 on squat. But you almost never see weak dudes with a big back

[InchoateVision]

I never see my back, but I hit it at least once a week.

Was trying on clothes today in the fitting room and saw my back for the first time in about 4 months and das definitely it.

Never understood why I feel it in my back when I bench, but I do.
