Building a thick back tip

When building a thick back you need to do various back exercises not just pull ups.  Arnold Schwarzenegger once said that when competing as a bodybuilder he noticed some bodybuilders to have wide backs face on but sideways their back didn’t have much depth.  To create a thick back according to Arnold no matter how many pull ups you did this wouldn’t create a thick back like you get from doing bent over rows or seated lever rows.  Bodybuilders and weightlifters in general tend to hate bent over rows as they restrict breathing and in that position blood circulation is hard, but remember nothing builds a real thick back like a bent over row.  Nowadays we have seated lever row machines or these can also be performed seated with a cable.

Aim to do around 10 reps and 4 sets of seated lever rows when you next do your back workout.  Also combining your chest workout with your back workout is a great idea as you work opposite muscle groups and for years many weightlifters such as Arnold himself have kept to this workout routine.  At the end of each rep let the weight drag your arms and back to full reach so you hit the back right up under your arms needed for getting that great v shape.  Make sure you combine your workout with lat pull downs and pull ups as well as your choice of exercises for lower back such as dead lifts.  You can never have a great body without a strong thick back always remember that, your back is what makes your physique, a lot of people forget this as they believe it is only looked at when they are seen from behind but a great back can be seen from every angle.  When you have a big strong back that keeps your shoulders elevated to give that huge appearance.
