We continue with the third and final installment for back workouts in this series, but there will be other series, I'm sure, down the road.
These are all pretty old school workouts, produced to be done mostly at home, because why-I hate the gym-but enough of my hangups.
Putting on muscle is putting on muscle and just about anything works as long as you mix it up a little and actually do the workouts
. Motivating yourself and taking the time to meditate on what you desire can be as big a challenge as doing the lifting.
But remember studs and studette's you are bodybuilders, and bodybuilders are made up of a different mindset.
The first routine is designed to increase your strength levels and it centered around the barbell deadlift.
Work your way down to a single rep on this lift, pyramiding up the weight on each set.
Striving for incremental strength increases workout to workout.
The second routine is design to move stubborn back muscles into growth by shocking them.
It's design to hit the back from different angles and bring on muscle failure through compound set.
Have fun be safe and grow, grow, grow.

The title of the blog says it all.
We tend to ignore the parts of us that we cannot see, well in training anyways!
The back contains large muscle groups which when worked properly can consume a lot of calories, making it ideal for muscle growth and weight-loss.
Years ago in my own training I remember standing in front of the bathroom mirror with my shirt off brushing my teeth.
I look and saw two protruding lumps behind my arms, laughing I realized that my lats had become visible, and there was no concern for alarm.
To this day I still attribute that to straight arm lat pull downs.
I'll list for you a couple different routines and you can pick and choose which will work best for you.
Remember safety first-and you are responsible for what you lift.
Extreme Width-
Pull downs--4sets@ 12,10,8,and 8 reps
Standing Pull downs--4sets@ 10 to 12 reps
Wide Grip Seated-- 4 sets@ 10 to 12 reps
