Back workouts

The back is one of the most complex muscle groups on the body. It’s no wonder that there are thousands of back workouts floating around the internet. The question you need to ask yourself is,

“Which one works for me?”

If you’re current back workout isn’t cutting it and you don’t have that full, back look, it’s time to step up your game and start forcing those back muscles to grow. If you want lats like me, or a back like me, be prepared to work for it. It’s not for the faint of heart of the those that aren’t dedicated. [hr]

Hypertrophy:

Muscle hypertrophy involves an increase in size of skeletal muscle through an increase in the size of its component cells.

Now, that’s a fairly non-helpful definition when it comes to increasing your muscle mass and size. What you need to know is that the goal is to contract your muscles against greater and greater resistance with the goal of forcing as much blood into the muscle cells as possible. The stretching of the muscle cells (AKA: the “pump”) produces micro trauma and tears. When recovery is properly optimized, the muscle cells repair and grow back bigger, fuller, and stronger.

In a nutshell, 3 sets of 10-12 reps for a few exercises, won’t get you the back your dreaming of. When it comes to this incredibly complex and large muscle group, you need to increase the intensity and increase the resistance more than you are used to with standard back workouts.

Before I send you down the path of blasting your back like a true Body Spartan, it’s important to understand that no matter what you do in the gym, it will be useless without proper recovery, nutrition, and supplementation. In order for your muscles to repair and grow, they need to get the proper nutrients so be sure that you are getting your six squares a day. Yes, I said six meals a day. If you think that’s tough, you should try eating like I do. I actually have ramped up to 8-10 meals a day while doing the Body Spartan back workouts. So no whining about eating six times a day

Also, you should split up your protein, carbs, and fat intake into even quantities for each meal.  For maximizing your protein intake, you should be using a high-quality protein powder and NOT the crap you buy at Costco.  All protein powder was not created equally.

Next, creatine in the form of Kre-alkalyn is one of the most powerful supplements on the market.  It’s PH balanced so there is no water bloat and delays muscle fatigue while you are working out. This helps you force out those last few reps in your sets.

Finally, NO2 black is a powerful vasodilator that increases blood flow to the muscles. So not only do you look more vascular but you are literally forcing additional volumes of blood into the muscle cells. Blood carries oxygen and the nutrients needed to repair, recover, and function.
