CW’s Training Tip #5!…

I have already discussed in a previous tip the importance of rowing and chinning to develop a thick wide back.

This time around I would like to discuss a fantastic exercise that was indeed a staple of the great Dorian Yates’ back workout, and that is the plate loaded seated pullover machine.

Just as cross bench dumbbell pullovers can hit the pecs and/or lats this exercise makes it particularly easy to fire the upper lats at the top of the movement followed by a great contraction of the lower lats down into their insertions near your hips at the bottom of the movement.

I perform these after my chins and before I tackle my rowing exercises…

1. Wide grip chins to the front
2. Plate loaded seated pullovers
3. Underhand grip bent barbell rows
4.  Close grip seated cable rows
5. Dumbbell rear delt raises
6. Heavy dumbbell shrugs

And it should be noted that I quite often alternate weekabout by beginning my back workout with the rowing movements as opposed to the chinning & lat movements (see Training Tip #2).

Many thanks to my awesome gym owners at Gold’s Gym in Port Kennedy for acquiring this great new piece of equipment!!
