If you're looking to build a bigger and functionally stronger back then you could do worse than to incorporate bodyweight exercises as well as more "traditional" exercises with weights into your workouts. . Generally speaking, using weights as the primary form of resistance (as opposed to using your bodyweight and adding additional weight) can make it easier target specific muscle groups and provide more granular control over the working resistance. . Using bodyweight exercises can work stabilising muscles harder meaning they get more growth stimulus and you gain more overall body control. . Using both offers you the opportunity to reap more benefits than just going either the weights or bodyweight route. . In this back-focused pull workout: . 💪🏻 General warm-up for 5 mins. 💪🏻 Pull-ups until your last good rep. Stop sooner if you're struggling to get at least 6 reps per set. 💪🏻 Bodyweight rows - explosive concentric, pause at peak contraction and slow eccentric. 💪🏻 One-arm dumbbell row. Good stretch at the bottom and elbows as high as possible at the top. 💪🏻 W dumbbell raise - I much prefer these over bent-over dumbbell raises for rear delts. 💪🏻 Cable face pulls. . 3 sets of each is a decent volume for an intermediate-experienced trainee. 2 minutes of rest between pull-up sets and 1 minute rest for the rest. Aim for 6-12 reps for the first 3 exercises and 10-15 for the last 2. . You might notice a lack of direct bicep work which often features in pull workouts. I don't usually train biceps or triceps directly as they get worked indirectly, but you might find you benefit from direct work if you're finding them a limiting factor. . #pullworkout #backworkout #pullups #21pullups #workouttips https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HB45pAstM/?igshid=x16umck74hel
