Pull ups are great. My back is my strongest workout-but the good old chins are the killer.

Tuesday
Wide grip pullups (pushing towards 20)
Close reverse grip pullups( pushing towards 20)
Behind the neck up right row (90kg-4 sets)-great for traps, rear delt and upper back!

Friday
Bent over barbell row (105 kg 4 sets)
One arm dumbell row (55 kg 3 sets)
Rear delt fly (25 kg) (3 sets)

I try and start my first set either at the max the week before or just under and try for small increase each week

(* current max weights at 8 reps)

Nice work Mercury. You should start a thread posting your training.

I love Pull ups, but haven't been able to do them or abs since late April when I did something to my abs playing softball.

Back training was born out of a bad injury while I was in the army. I love the idea of small increases in weight. having said that-the legs are the poorest routine Smile

I'll post my 'routine' soon-
