Back to Back

The ‘V’ shaped back; for men it shows strength, and for women it shows a lean toned back and a tiny waist. In today’s upper body workout we are focusing on strengthening and defining the back muscles; deltoids, lats, rhomboids, and traps, along with some other smaller back muscles too :) giving a defined strong lower, middle and upper back.

These are some of the best back exercises I have found, we are going back to back on this workout! best_back_exercise

Warm up: 10 minutes on the elliptical, then 5 minutes of indoor row

Back Exercise Workout Routine:

- Seated Cable Rows; Advanced = 80 to 100 lbs, Beginner = 30 to 60 lbs

- Hang Power Cleans (if you don’t know or not sure how to do a clean, then do barbell shrugs!) Advanced = 85 to 115 lbs, Beginner = 45 to 65 lb bar

- Lat pull downs (in front); rotate each set with: wide grip then normal grip on the straight bar, then close grip on the ‘V’ bar; Advanced = 125 lbs, Beginner = 40 -60 lbs

- Sumo High Pulls (or upright barbell rows)

- Back Extensions (or hyper extensions)

- repeat circuit 3 to 4 times. Post your time and how many circuits you completed!
