Frequent Back training

[Big Steve]

One thing that always sticks out to me about powerlifters is the level of back development. Do you think that working back 2-4 times per week is responsible for this?

I'm considering adding 3-5 sets of back work to all of my non-back training days. So it would look something like this:

Mon: Chest and biceps
barbell rows

Tues: Legs
something lighter like a dumbell clean or facepull

Thurs: Shoulders and triceps
Up rows

Sat: Back (usually 4 exercises)


I'm specifically looking for more thickness in the rhomboids, rear delts, and all portions of the traps. Are there any glaring problems with this plan? Thanks.

Although I know plenty of guys that spread back work out during the week, I'm not so sure it's responsible for their back size.

Now Heavy deadlifts/rackpulls should be the culprit here

i completely agree with this..

but actually i had a very weak chest ... My trainer suggested me to do floor presses on one day and bar dips on the other day..

I would train 5 sets to my chest on all training days ...And one day for chest where i will be training with bench press and flys..

In two months i got a brick like looks on my chest (not too much size but a decent size) i stopped it after the gains became counterproductive after two months.. So try it for a short period of time bro......

all the best

I've had my best success with chest supported rows one day and dbell rows and pull ups on another.

I've seen some guys do it like you wrote but I have not done that personally.
