| Developing A V-Shape Back |
|
Mr. Gironda, I read your column in MuscleMag International all the time and I have just bought your book at B. Dalton’s booksellers. I have learned more from that book than anything else. I do have a problem. It is my back. I have a wide V-shape, my lats are thick and really spread out well, but my back is smooth. There are no lumps when I spread my back and even when I do a double biceps pose showing the back there are no lumps. Please help me. I do plenty of bent over rowing exercises each workout, but I just do not know what else to do. My lower back is OK. Rowing is a basic back exercise. You need isolation movements to bring up different areas of your back. I suggest you try medium grip chins pulling the bar to the sternum 5 x 8. Seated cable rowing (arching the torso each rep) 5 x 10. Prone dumbbell rowing (on high bench) 5 x 8. I would also do some trapezius work and posterior deltoid exercise. More detail will be built into the upper back area if you build these two areas. |
