What are some good exercises to develop lower back?
Deadlifts
Cannot deadlift due to a lower back injury
your lats are the issue here mate
what are you doing for them?
Weighted back extensions
Don't use a machine though
This.
Until you can do +30kg weighted pull ups for 8 reps you will never have big back. But once you get there, the world is yours. So work hard and you can have whatever it is that you want. Thank you guys for your time.
Wide grip pull-ups and pull-downs. Typically do 3x20 pull-ups and then 3x8 heavy pull-downs for lats.
thomas pls
>3x20 pull-ups
add weight, finish with negatives after failure.
are you doing pull-ups the right way or are you pulling yourself up and forward? i see a lot of retards in my gym who can't seem to pull themselves straight up and through. full/proper rom should have your grip in line and almost level with your shoulders.
Deadlifts
Yates Rows
Weighted Back Extensions
I do slow and controlled reps while focusing on using as much lat as possible while minimizing use of bis/forearms. Fairly certain I am doing them correctly.
Latest Back day work of from MF:
Why tf do they keep posting sideways
deadlifts
good mornings
>Yates Rows
you need to be strong as fuck to do these properly, but yeah i did them for awhile and felt they were pretty good. need straps though.
any kind of chest supported row is good too, and if the machine is adjustable, make sure you're pulling low--i see a lot of people at my gym adjusting the chest supported row so that they're basically doing a rear delt row.
yeah this looks good. add weight though.
i did kroc rows for awhile too but this was mostly bb rows/yates rows/weighted pull-ups.
actually on second thought my grip is definitely a lot narrower than what you're using here, maybe bring your hands in a bit, should be able to get a better range of motion.
The wider the grip the more I can isolate my lats. Conversely, a narrower grip makes it harder to activate my lats.
tbqh i don't think you can fully contract your lats if your grip is extremely wide
Allow me to rephrase: To an extent, the wider the grip the more I can isolate my lats. I don't go wider than in the picture.
>wide grip
You know how the lat works right? You know you have maximum ROM and thus activation at shoulder width?
You know that because you grip wide you won't magically get a wide back from it too?
>gripping wide isolates the lat
This is why BB are looked down on so much. Do you not educate yourself at all before you workout?
yea i dunno, still looks super wide.
my grip is like here (highlighted in red). imo hang 50lbs from your waist and give a narrower grip a try for one set.
Noted, thank you.
didn't u lose muscles mate
i've been away years last i read you had your bicep tear or some shit (and that was also one time check of the board)

the king shit for back
Lower back is like every other muscle and you develop it by getting stronger and lifting bigger weights. How can you lift bigger weights? With heavy compound sets. The stronger you are the more muscle you will have.
