What would yall say are the 5 best back exercises?

[Carolina Slim]

Carolina... bend your knees to where your shoulders are in line with the handles (or maybe just a little above)

And try and let the weight of your body + the Tbar rest on the pad...

I'm hitting the gym around 2:00, I'll let you know how it went.

 

[Loose]

deadlifts and pullups are the goat imo

How To: Dumbbell Bent-Over Row - YouTube

pendlay row and power cleans will give you a monster back tho

For those who want the benefits of cleans but have fukked up wrists. Do high pulls

I JUST started doing these last week. Cleans effed my left wrist up for a whole year. I was only doing them for a month. Started off light, got to 115 and then the wrist was dunzo. Just now finally healed.

Success... Had a dude feeling all on those rows. I normally do bent over barbell rows, but the deads had my lower back feeling funky...

Deadlifts are for the legs and lower back. If you are really working the lats while doing deadlifts, then you are doing it really wrong.

T-bar row, narrow-grip cable rows, and pull-ups. Also, use the narrow grip handle for cable rows and put it on a barbell bar and use that to replicate a t-bar row.

if you are doing deadlifts properly, your shoulder blades are tight and pulled back

theres a definite isometric contraction

tension is translated from the bar on a deadlift:

Wrist > Posterior Deltoid/Trapezius > Teres Major/Rhomboid > Lat > Erector Spinae > Glute/Hamstring/Quad > gastrocnemius(calf)

all of those muscles either tense up, or contract altogether to allow you to deadlift. The target contraction should be glute/hamstring on the first part of the pull, with the quad/glute finishing the rest

body physics dont lie

the tension goes somewhere... those muscles in your back(including your lower back) should all be isometric

as far as you not feeling it in your quads we are talking regular deadlift correct
