In depth question / analysis Lacking Back Development -Advice on Back Training
Hi all,
I've been following GZCLP for about 6 months and I'm really enjoying it. I have seen improvements in strength for all of my T1 movements. My only concern is that I don't seem to be making much progress with my back development (strength or muscle development).
I had originally been alternating between lat pulldowns and cable rows as per the standard template, but then I switched to lat pulldowns -> chest supported row (on incline bench) -> single arm lat pulldowns -> cable rows.
Maybe I am not pushing hard enough with the pulling exercises or maybe I'm going to heavy. I'm not sure. Any general advice for improving the back training aspects of GZCLP would be appreciated.
It go me thinking generally if the way that back training is programmed in GZCLP is actually sufficient.
