Killer Home Back (Lats) Workout
May 8, 2010 | Posted by goonerrambke 
scoobysworkshop.com Here is a killer 45 minute back workout that you can do at home with just a set of dumbbells and a pullup bar. This is an back (lats,latissimus dorsi)workout for the advanced bodybuilder, if you are new to bodybuilding please check my website for a more appropriate workout. Make sure you have done warm-up sets for both biceps and triceps before starting this workout because we start in with really heavy weights and you don’t want to get injured. Intensity and focus are really important when you do this workout. Don’t hold back anything, treat every set as if it were your last. I know I sound stupid with all my grunting and groaning but when I give it 110%, I can’t help it. Here is the workout Superset 1: Wide grip pullups and dumbbell rows Superset 2: Alternating grip pullups and dumbbell pullovers Superset 3: Narrow grip pullups and bent over dumbbell rows Repeat the above 5-6 times, the complete workout should take about 45 minutes. If you don’t like reconfiguring the dumbbells all the time you can also just do each superset combo 5X and then move on to the next combo. This workout should be done once every 5-7 days depending on your age.Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get …

HEY COOL HOW MANY INCHES ARE UR BICEPS
well for rows i thing you could let your shoulder drift a bit forward – the lats gets stretched and its better contraction at the top. imo
cheers for this, been looking for a home workout for lats as opposed to splashing out on a gym membership, and this is exactly what i was looking for, thanks.
your videos are absolutely solid. i really like how you give the subtle hints that can really help out a ton. this is a REAL exercise program.
theres no such thing as stupid questions just stupid people
hi this is Avdhesh i am from India i really want to get a lean body but, the thing is that i am really not able to do that, and according to me the weakest part of ma body is the back. I have tried mant times to do pull ups but i end up doing only one or two times the max what should i do?
Excellent video. I think 5 sets of that may be overkill for me right now, but I’m going to go out to the park right now and try to get a few sets in. Came on youtube looking for some inspiration, and all I could have I asked for. Thank you.
uhm, honestly i dont really know of any way to approximate the effect of pullup bars. its just..a great and unique work out. The best i can advice i can give you is either find a park near you with like, monkey bars or something (i know it sounds stupid but thats what i did for a while..) or make a makeshift pullup bar in like a doorway in ur house. its not hard. hope that helped..
to young to work out wait a couple years or you will not grow right. trust me i’ve seen it happen.
gr8 lats, il throw some of this into my current back workout
hey guys, my only problem with this workout is that i don’t have a pull-up bar..what are the alternatives that i can do to somehow approximate its effect?…can anybody please help…tnx alot…great vid…
kool thanks i got much stronger and i’m 11 years old
The straps are their so when he is doing his pull-ups, his forearms dont die out before his lats have gotten fried. In basic terms , you dont use your grip strength when you have your straps on.
hahaha in the end with the double gulp
maybe a stupid question…
but what are the straps on his hands when he does the pull ups?
I was talking about someone that said swinging puts less stress on the joints. Doesn’t make sense. Clicked reply, but somehow my reply showed up new as an independent message. Also, for people who think swinging is better, it’s not. Sure, you can do more reps if you CHEAT on a pull up, but more of the momentum brings you up instead of the muscles pulling the body up.
What you said doesn’t make any sense. Doing pull-ups explosively IS CHEATING and will put more stress on the joints. Think about it, how does a slow pull-up put more stress on the joints? And no, slower pull-ups don’t “waste” energy because the statement itself doesn’t make any sense. You see, if you pull “explosively,” the momentum created by the swinging gets you up, not your muscles.Therefore your muscles work less if you cheat, so you don’t get the best results.
the stiff muscle that runs along the bottom of your penis shaft !!!
thanks !!!!!!!
Try the way stated in the video. You will surely get better results. The explosive movements can turn into cheating movements like kicking your legs to keep up the tempo, swinging, etc. Slow and controlled is something you will always hear with exercises. (prevents injury, maximizes results.)
Scooby your in great shape how old are you?
Hey Scooby, I noticed in your self spotting rig video that you have the bar suspended from the ceiling. Now what I want to know is that is that bar hung from the wood studs (or whatever you call them) in the ceiling or do you have some other method of securing it? And if the bar is hung from the studs, how safe is it? I mean, they’re made of wood right, so I’m kinda unsure about that. Don’t want them to buckle or nothing.
The “excess weight” is fat, and fat does not turn into muscle. You need to eat things that help your muscles regrow when they are damaged by lifting. This means eating healthy, not eating junk.
