BACK | MAIN | NEXT Store back, it's important to work all of Sales 50 Share a specific To build an awesome the big muscle groups. I selected theTop following exercises because they each target muscle group in your back. By putting the movements together in one workout, we'll be working the entire upper and middle back.


FACE-PULL The workout may only be four exercises, but resist the urge to do more. Your back muscles will get enough work, but it's still up to you to make sure every single set is intense. Be honest about the work you're doing in the gym. If you can go harder, do it. If chin-ups are beyond your ability level right now, that's no reason to give up on this great lat-building movement. Use a resistance band, or use a jump and a flexed-arm hold at the top. It's that pause at the top that's really important to build muscle and improve your technique. If you haven't already watched the back overview video, go do it! You'll learn more about why we're doing the exercises we are and how to execute them more effectively. Put focus and intensity into every single rep. It's back-building time!

TEMPO TRAINING Perform the exercises below at the prescribed tempo to maximize time under tension (TUT). Tempo is shown as a series of 3 numbers, such as 3-0-1. The first number (3) is the eccentric, or lowering, component of the lift. The second number (0) denotes any pause at the midpoint. The third number (1) is the concentric, or lifting, component. Regardless of the exercise, the first number is always the eccentric and the third number is always the concentric.

(Freeman Loran) For chin up, the second number (1) denotes any pause at the midpoint, but on the top (squeeze), or at the bottom (stretch) ????? May 28th, 2016 • Report • Reply

(Phil Knight) Better late than never I suppose - You'll want to be squeezing when your muscles are fully contracted - ergo pause at the top of the chin-up, before you descend for 3 seconds. January 5th, 2017 • Report

(Kelston Robinson) Pull ups under 3-1-1 are killer!! But in going hard. Week 1! June 17th, 2015 • Report • Reply

(''Oh,That Girl'') sounds good but I cant do chin up's or press up's for **** :( i'll just do the previous exercise again April 28th, 2014 • Report • Reply

(Andrew Adcock) Just a reminder that the first exercise was to failure for 4 sets, and tempo-ed - so if you can squeeze out 4 sets of 10 - that is 40 chin ups with an amazing amount of time under tension. I just did that, and it nearly killed me. I don't think meh is the response I'm having. (If that is really too easy for you, then add weight ) The number of exercises is not as important as the effort put in and the time under tension. Also, this first week is meant to build stability for later heavier and harder work outs. So focus on form and don't cheat - and I think you'll be happy with the results.

(Paula Villegas) Will it help if I add more workouts to it? I usually do dead lifts, and some other workouts for the lower back. 4 exercises will get me ripped? April 15th, 2014 • Report • Reply

(Daniel) 10 exercises won't get you ripped... time, dedication, and a proper diet will get you ripped August 13th, 2014 • Report

I'm a little confused by the tempo training for back exercises. On chin-up for example it lists: 3-1-1. Assuming I start from the bottom (i.e. arms extended), is the tempo, 1 second up, 1 second hold at the top, and 3 seconds to lower?

Search articles, products, brands March 24th, 2014 • Report • Reply

(Michael Spaniol) Yes, the lowering part should almost always be equal or longer in count than the raising portion of the lift. I don't know a circumstance where it wouldn't be, as you would be reducing time under tension, which would minimize results. I have found that on the last rep of the last set, going to failure -returning to resting position as slowly as is humanly possiblemakes an incredibly significant difference. Try lifting that last set i n any exercise as if someone had a gun to your head and I swear you will feel the difference the next two days! I hope that helps. April 2nd, 2014 • Report

(Daniel) that is correct August 13th, 2014 • Report

with the chin up exercise if I did it with an assisted chin up machine how many reps would i have to do or would it still be AMAP March 7th, 2014 • Report • Reply

I hate to be "that guy" who tries to sharp shoot these proven professionals, but I have to agree. I kind of thought the chest workout was a little meh as well.

I'm going to extend a li ttle faith though and follow this plan to see if the "less is more" thing works out after all.
