[@theaxe7562]

From my personal experience, I totally agree with the idea of pull ups being a more advance exercise. I remember that in the beginning I couldn't even lift my body weight in the pull up so the alternative was pull downs. Now a day, after a year of training I can proudly do *drum roll* one pull up. Now I'm aiming toward two pull ups, wish me luck

During the end of a lat pull down session... Leaning back a good bit to get the heavier weight but controlling the eccentric can realy improve strength. Same goes with bent over rows. I was stuck for several months on the same weight until i started doing this. My weight on controled sets really improved. Sometime you got to change things up just and bit.

I tried bulding my back with several exercises then i started doing weighted pullups with different grips low reps 6-8reps 3 times a week without doing any other exercises and my back looks wider and fuller than ever. Two of my friends are doing calistenics doing just pullups and their backs look wide as hell no other exercises. Id say throw something for the upper part of back in there and the rear delts and your back will look insane.

[@bobdarrick2628]

I do 4 back exercises throughout the week - 3 on pull day and 1 on upper body day. 5 day split. on pull day, weighted pull ups for lats, bent over barbell rows (for a general back builder - mix of lats, traps and lat pulldowns (close grip) -also fro lats. on upper body day, i do (wide grip) cable rows for mid and lower traps mainly. lower back is trained during bent over barbell rows, barbell squats & RDLs (on leg day) and on deadlifts (which i do on lower body day - the day i dont do RDLs bc i alternate). of course most of these back exercises indreictly work biceps, which im happy with. should i get rid of any of these 4 back exercises for seated machine rows or not? which one if so?

[@kujofn.8220]

Cant lie this video is outdated on the science emg doesn't show if a muscle is effectively used e.g biceps contract on a bench press but arent worked. For lats the arm should be tucked close into the body and the spine should be neutral as the lats use the rib cage as leverage.

[@Woodwender455]

to me that sounds like conditioning work. you really want to give it your all on these and possibly get to a point where your cheating reps towards the end of a set. That means the crunches would tire you out before your back is at its max gains. If you want to do something similar, I would superset lat pulls with arch raises or leg raises
