i was wrong back is probably one of the most aesthetic body part

[StuffedFrog]

i mainly skipped back and only did dead lifts thinking it would be allright
i have good natural shoulders
if i developed my back i would be a mogger right now

 

[Deleted member 13710]

Time to do some rows and pull-ups I guess

 

[Moggie]

taper is important but zyzz had bad back relative to how roided he was but giga traps still made him look aesthetic

Just do a trillion shrugs theory

ok should i not workout then and just rot till my bimax

 

[Moggie]

It wasnt an idea but a counter example of course focussing traps and neglecting back is bad, just showing that the back is not make or break for looking good body wise. Abs, adonis belt and chest, shoulders, forearms, delts, biceps, along with neck are more important but no part should be neglected so basically everything theory.

i get my v taper and my arms in place and i generally bulk up and i would be a aesthetic god amongst man

 

[Moggie]

Good, roids are long term bad, again though roids did give zyzz his traps as their is a theory this area responds to steriods much more than other muscle groups, roids are not needed for a ffmi upto 23 - 24 which is pretty damn muscular and lean. Just takes longer and have to be more careful that is all. Roids do not contradict the just everything theory just have a balanced push pull legs routine with cardio and a daily ab circuit.

Yes this is why women go crazy for vascular forearms.

A well developed back is very aesthetic, IMO.

A thick back will make you look a lot bigger from the side:

Spam lat pulldown to get a nice wide back. Combine this with lateral raises + cutting and you'll get ideal V taper

i do lat pull down 3 times a week i believe rep range is 12, 12 , 10 , 8 is this enough

Yeah that's good. But if you want to add more, at end of workout you can reduce weight 50% and go till failure

For a good V-taper, you need some exercises that target the lower lats, like deadlifts or rows pulled to the lower abdomen. Lat pulldowns and pull ups target your upper lats, which will give you a disproportionate look if you don't train your lower lats in proportion.

how many times you be doing lat pull downs how many days sets and reps?

 

[nastynas]

ofc it is. this forum is so retarded when it comes to lifting type of things saying arms are more important or some bs.

you can legit find tons of pictures from tumblr era etc where girls used post pictures of guy's backs and go crazy over it.

shoulder area and back is most important bodyparts and funnily enough you will develop your arms anyway if you strive to get a good back and shoulders and throw in some arm work anyway. you will find tons of ppl with good backs having good arms automatically, the reverse is almost never true and even if it happens, it looks like absolute shit.

 

[FootLongDong]

Train your lats they make your arms look bigger

how does that work

My lat is so developed that it pushes my triceps out.
Hard to explain, trust me it’s worth it

I stopped doing deadlifts like 10 years ago. If you care about looksmaxing only they are pointless and only increase injury risk and recovery demands between workouts.

The king of back exercises is the pullup. Good accessories are shrugs and rows. For pullups you don't need to add weight. The exercise can be made plenty difficult just with adjustments to form and if it gets really easy you can switch to one arm pullups. You can change up grip styles each set to hit slightly different parts of the arm and back.

Deadlifts are a way overrated exercise, they doesn't bring near the same amount of benefits as much as they fatigue the central nervous system

i just want a big deadlift im still in my powerlifting roots and i dont think i can escape it jfl at the 30 year olds who cant deadlift past 405

Deadlifts are not a great hypertrophy movement, because they're hard to do at high volume.

Fucking gym copers, dude if you want to get laid using physique just roid and nichemax, your “naturally good shoulders” will do nothing for your real SMV.
