Back Part 4: How to perform Partial Dealifts for width.
Partial deadlifts are performed about 3 inches below your knees so set the rack bars to this height.
Feet stance is placed shoulder width and hand grips on the bar is placed roughly 10 inches away from where legs are touching the bar from this position.
Lifting is performed keeping your bum slightly higher than what you normally have when performing conventional deadlift.
Emphasis here is to engage fully your lats while keeping your legs and glutes out of play.
Lift with your lats spread wide while keeping your spinal posture erect during the start and end movement. Squeezing your shoulder blades at the top finish movement. Allow your lats to take the load again while lowering the weight back to start position and than repeat.

WHAT YOU THINK!?

Back Part 3:
For gaining width and round V shape lats I have always relied on few of my trustee exercises:
Partial Deadlifts
Chin Up
Wide Pulldowns
Cable Row

Technique in performing these exercise is basic. Remember we are focusing on width so, we will isolate Rhomboids, Trapezius and Delt muscles and allow Latissimus Dorsi to take all the workload.

For your and start your exercises by relaxing your shoulder blades at the begining of the workout movement. This will distribute all the stress onto you lats and as you pull, you start to lean back slightly to keep the delts out of play. I keep the range of the pull movement to about 4/5 of the way in, this range allows me to avoid rhomboid and trapezius muscles taking most of the load instead I can continuously distribute all the stress onto my latissimuss dorsi.

Back Part 2:
Not everybody wants to be a pro bodybuilder but we do desire that amazing tapered waist and wide rounded "V" shape back. I Often see guys are training hard on their back workout with amazing lifts and exercises but probably not the right selections of exercises and techniques.

For gaining width and round V shape lats I have always relied on few of my trustee exercises:
Partial Deadlifts
Chin Up
Wide Pulldowns
Cable Row

My technique is basic. Understanding Latissimus Dorsi muscle movement is key to profiting quick fast results.
In Part 3 I will explain my techniques and key focus points to accelerate your gains and eliminate dead end workouts.

Back muscles cover such a large area of your body so it doesn't make sense that with one training session a week on this body part that anyone could train effectively to get the maximum gains.
To break it down even further take into account training your back for width/density/shape.
Would it not make sense to train your back twice a week. I would pick my first back workout to target density and shape - and second back workout to target specifically for width and shape.
In my next post I will discuss more on how to split your training and pick the correct exercises/movements/angles to optimize your growth potentials.

M Rainbow 2 x Mr NZ : As I stride out on the Treadmill I intialy start feeling a little tired from the intence chest workout I just completed . I know through experiance this won't last long as my body switches energy systems as my heart rate elevates and my blood sugar levels deplete . That last bit right there is the key to body fat loss ... Diminished Glycogen Stores and Blood Sugar Levels and a Elevated Heart Rate for a period of time ... Some things never change remember that !
