  • Looking to get wider lats and more thickness and detail in your back? In this video I combine everything we learned from past videos and bring it all together in a complete back workout.
    We first start this workout in the gym with reverse grip pulldowns that we superset with cable pulldowns to really target the lats. Then we move over to rows where we combine a single arm dumbbell row, pulled high, to target the middle traps, and build thickness in your back. We superset this with an underhand grip bar row, pulled low, to target the lats. We also talk about how to incorporate cable rows. Last we finish everything off with two different finisher exercises for wider lats: the dumbbell pullover and a straight arm pushdown. I did however forget to include hyperextensions for strengthening your spinal erectors and building detail in your low back. Please make sure to check out my past ATT video on "Building Thickness in your Back" for more details on that.
    All this combined is the ultimate how-to on the best exercises for building both a wider, thicker and bigger back.

    0:56 - Reverse Grip Pull downs
    2:00 - Cable Pull downs
    6:45 - Single Arm Dumbbell Row

    I first watched this video series about a month ago. After creating my own routine based on your advice and workouts I have noticed an increase and both size and strength. I've managed to drop 20 lbs. and put on lean muscle. Ive also been following some of your nutritional advice from other videos. Thank you for posting your tips and tricks and advice. it has helped me continue my battle to rid myself of diabetes and become a more healthier person overall. I look forward to future videos and more importantly being around for my family and friends because of a healthier life style.

    Applied some of these principles you showed us in these four back videos to my workout and felt a better pump today. Feel like my workout has been optimized. Thank you James. Vice President of BPI, filled with projects, has time to maintain an awesome body and still does this in youtube. Superman! 💪

    Your instruction is superb. Your camera man should focus more on the muscle group you're demonstrating. In my opinion, he focuses on your face and your dialogue but forgets about the actual movement and muscle group you're flexing. If you fix that, you'll be one of the best instructors on RUclips.

    I just discovered you today and watched about 4 of your videos. You take the science of working out/bodybuilding and explain it in such a clear-cut way, it makes your videos easy to follow. I just want to say job well done and I look forward to your videos going forward. I will be applying these techniques in my back routine today.

    @brandonj6548 7 лет назад +3

    Good workout. Starting doing 20-40 rep supersets like this about a year ago. Some friends think I'm crazy but I've had the best results from it. Love to watch them struggle with it when they are used to doing 3 sets of 10. Not only builds size but also muscular endurance. Lots of people focus on size only but if you don't have great endurance you aren't in good shape. Period.
