Back help

Reloaded · 01-10-2010, 10:07 PM

I've done back machines and other back exercises, but I still can't seem to tone up my back as I want it. What all can i do to make this happen?

I was talking to my sports medicine teacher (who is also a doctor) and he was telling me that to also help your back, you must work your back to equal the workload on your body. Like the tricep and bicep help each other and work against each other if that makes sense.

The only back things I do is pull ups, and lat pull downs.

Balanced, kinda like what fattony said.

Neal, do you have access to a gym right now because if so I could just give you the routine I'm doing for my back right now and seeing results with.

I really want to only develop my back muscles. It would look so fucking weird.

the thing is though if you dont work your back shit will look weird up front and not as toned, or at least thats what ive noticed with myself. So I try to keep everything well balanced

Pull ups. Best thing to do.

Lat pull downs, pull ups, seated rows, lumber jacks, morning rises, any type of rows. Do low weight but high reps and you'll see results. Don't do them everyday, every other day. If you do them everyday you'll destroy your muscles and basically do the opposite of your goal.

Every other day isn't good either. If you can do them every other day with the same amount of weight your probably not lifting enough. Muscles need more than one day of rest.

We have machines, freeweights, and mats. So yeah, it's alright. We have pull up bars, at pull down machines.
