Gym back training

[alwazzab]

Nigga please. Why can I not feel my back when training back? I feel everything BUT MY BACK. My back is not underdeveloped, I just dont like training it cuz I dont fucking feel it.

Seated rows are my shoulders

Lat pull downs are my shoulders and forearms

I feel it in my back but its like not real yk. When you train chest, you feel your chest doing the work. When I train back, my back is doing NOTHING.

how long u been going to the gym, either your form or you have small lats which is why you wont feel it

You don't need to feel your back to be training in effectively

Do a horizontal row of some type with sufficient stability and ability to progress for 1 warm up set and 2 working sets 4-8 rep range to failure for you.

Then do a vertical pull w a pronated grip

some type of hinge

And a chest supported kelso shrug

thats all you need to do for back

please mark as solution

For a while. Real progress only began this year though. I can do 15 pullups no problem and feel my back doing the work. Thats the only one that works. Its just the machines and cables, even the smith machine rows.

Pulldowns, seated rows, smith machiene rows, the machine where you sit facing backwards and move your arms in a circular motion backwards, shrugs cuz why not and finished with pullups.

way too much, like what the other guy said you only need 4 movements or even 3, keep the lat pulldown bring the bar between your mouth and eyes, keep your posture straight, any sort of hinge, and the only row you really need is something with sufficient chest support and make sure you retract your scapulae (imagine your trying to pinch something on your back without using your arms) or do a kelso shrug and a sagittal row.

Buy straps. Close grip lat pulldowns (don't lean back) lat rows (lean forward), and throw in any machine u want
