If your goal is to get more toned arms, then your BACK workouts are extremely important…
Not only will the RIGHT back exercises help you get a stronger back, they will also help strengthen and define your arms too.
I just finished up my back workout for today, and I thought I’d send it over to you so that you can try it out.
It’s only 4 exercises, but I am DONE! Anyway…
Here it is:
My Killer Back Strength Workout
(note: I’ll give modifications to all exercises beloweach one so be sure to read those)
-Weighted Pull-Ups: 8 sets of 5 reps
Modifications:
1) If you cannot do weighted pull-ups, do regular pull-ups.
2) If you cannot do pull-ups, do jumping pull-ups or negative pull-ups.
3) If you don’t have access to a pull-up bar, you can do bodyweight rows!
-Barbell Bent Over Rows: 4 sets of 8-10 reps
Modifications:
1) You can also do dumbbell bent over rows here.
-TUT Lat Pull-Down: 3 sets of 10 reps
TUT stands for Time Under Tension, so your goal is to go SLOW on these reps. 3 seconds down, 3 seconds up.
FEEL THE BURN!
Modifications:
1) You can also do Banded Superman Pull-Downs

You see, most people don’t challenge themselves when it comes to the weights they choose. So…
Be sure you choose something that will:
A) Challenge you…
B) That you can keep perfect form with…
Most days, I love to focus on DENSITY which is basically getting more work done in less time.
We do this in our STRONG Program which is amazing for gaining LEAN muscle and burning off fat.
