The Best Ways To Build A Big Upper Back

I separate my upper back work into finesse and power style training. This is how I would approach programming for a strongman or powerlifter. Read on for a breakdown of both styles: Finesse style upper back training is what is typically described as working through an exercise with concentration and full ROM. The concentric portion should finish at a point that stimulates an optimal contraction of the target muscle, with the potential of a pause at this point or implementation of other factors like 1.5 reps. The eccentric portion should involve returning to the starting point of the movement and a full stretch of the target muscle Power style upper back training loosens the aforementioned standards. It is a brute force method, incorporating more of a full body approach to move higher loads to allow for a heavier stimulus to the target muscle. I feel this has its place in a bodybuilding split, but my main intention is to achieve carryover to performance on deadlift and odd object lifting and loading If you are looking to make serious progress in the gym or ready to take the dive into strength sports, check out my coaching page at PWRBLD! https://www.pwrbldcoaching.com/taylor...
