Stronger back

[rico870]

my trainer says my back needs to get stronger.. what are some workouts to do so?

[killsomething]

Pullups, weighted pullups, kneeling rows, and upright rows always work for me. The upright rows can mess up your wrists and forearms though...

Luckily your back is super easy to strengthen. And your punching power will go through the roof.

Deadlifts, son, deadlifts and squats.

If hes talking about lowerback core/ doing plants and that thing that you put your lover body in so you at an angle to the floor and you bend your body forward towards that ground. I cant think of what its called someone help me out haha.

Deadlifts, Pendlay Rows, Pull-Ups that should pretty much cover all bases.

You can throw in power cleans too which can not only strengthen your upper back/traps but your legs and hips as well. Power cleans take a lot of time to really master the form though, so I wouldn't do them unless you know someone who really knows what they are doing to coach you on it. It's a very complex lift but if you have to time to put into learning it, the benefits are amazing.

If you are going to do upright rows like another poster suggested, don't use a lot of weight. The upright row itself is not a natural motion and you can easily screw up your rotator cuffs, which I'd imagine wouldn't be good at all for someone who throws punches for a living. Better off not doing them at all.

whats your opinion on the yates row?

and as far as a stronger back do the exercises to your core area like do the pull ups not so your chin goes over the bar but so your upper abs touch the bar and your body is parrell to the ground. when you use a row machine row to your abs not your chin.

Not a big fan of it, TBH. Unless you are using a weight that you really know you can handle. Dorian Yates himself tore his bicep doing it with too much weight.

pull ups, palms facing AWAY from you
when you have mastered lots of pull ups, move to weighted pull ups

deadlifts

those 2 are great exercises. lots of other rows you can put in too, but i would make sure those 2 are always in your back regieme and you will have functional strength and also a solid core & lower back
