dannysteel · 15 Jun 2014 at 20:12

Anyone else on a Legs push pull split?

Current Push Routine - Main focus is to bring up my upper chest

Current Pull Routine - Need to add to back thickness.

Any constructive information will always be taken onboard.

Cheers all

Back 'pull' day without deadlifts. Or good mornimgs.

Good luck with that.

dannysteel · 15 Jun 2014 at 21:05

haha I find good mornings shatter your back and I've chosen to do Sumo Deads for stronger hamstring development so I do them with my leg day

mrthingyx · 16 Jun 2014 at 06:37

Whilst that is one way of looking at it all, I would honestly suggest sticking heavy deadlifts back in on your back day, and goof around with RDLs on your hamstring day.

If you want a comedy back, try heavy snatch pulls/deadlifts.

dannysteel · 16 Jun 2014 at 12:16

My typical deadlift is 180kg with good form (Can more 190/200 but form gets shakey, got vids) but it hammers me so much I think it would take away from my sessions, cause I do x2 leg days, I do Sumos on 1st leg and SLDL on 2nd, so posterior chain already takes a good workout.

I am trying to bring my upperback up more tbh, alt my pull days with more rowing (as seen) and a day dedicated to more lats, and on that day I do rackpulls to work less my hammies. I do think I'd be killing myself with deads on back day xD

Snatch grip deadlifts, then. Or even snatch first pulls, if done properly.

Traps, rhombs, lats, delts... I think they don't work those funny little muscles in my ears, but have been known to give me face DOMS. Have a look at Christian Thibaudeau (?)...

If you're desperate to go with the little isolation exercises, don't overlook facepulls or heavy 'Pendlay' style rows; you're doing your Yates row, but that's not going to hammer your lats much.

dannysteel · 16 Jun 2014 at 12:50

Benefit to adding snatch grip dead?

I don't do tonnes of little isos? I alt facepulls with reverse flys for rear delts already.
And yeah, as said cause I variant between Row days and Lat days, I do undergrip rows for general back thickness

dannysteel · 16 Jun 2014 at 12:55

I mean seems to be working what am doing for adding thickness?

edit: WOW pic came out much bigger than I thought haha

Dat rat.

Snatch grip RDL's, snatch pulls, heavy deads, pull ups, chinups, T-bar rows.

I can't even Snatch fully but appreciate the benefit Snatch grip work has done on the occasions I've used it.

Some long overhead snatch grip holds will leave your traps hanging off too

dannysteel · 17 Jun 2014 at 11:48

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA mate, thats a good day too, should see the state most of time!

What is this?

dannysteel · 17 Jun 2014 at 22:48

This, is a thread with the relation to a push pull routine that are targeting specific areas of an individual?

Then you have chosen the wrong deadlift variant....Sumo puts more emphasis on quads, hips, adductors. SLDL, RDL, conventional deadlift done properly will all hit the hamstrongs (lol noticed the typo, liked it, left it) more then Sumo's will.

Apologies for being brutally cynical, but popping up with a thread about your competition prep, sticking a pic in the BodyBuilding pics thread, and then ignoring good suggestions for your back work does not do much to provide an alternative answer to Grudas' question.

It adds quads but says moves focus point to glutes/hams and I personally feel it much more on hams
