Back Building by Lee Haney
One of my all-time favorite bodybuilders, Lee Haney (8-time Mr Olympia winner), wrote the following article in 2005 about how to build a wide and thick back. Wide Guy In short, his workout is as follows:- Wide-grip chinups 4 x 6-8
- Barbell rows/T-bar rows* 4 x 8-10
- Seated cable rows 4 x 8-10
- Single-arm dumbbell rows ** 3 x 8-10
* Alternate between the two each workout ** Perform every third workout As you can see, it's a simple routine. But the fact of the matter is, you don't need a complex routine to get outstanding results. As Haney says in the article,
Just remember the three Ps of successful bodybuilding: patience, perseverance and persistence.
