Most would say that leg work is the most important to train for building mass.
Don’t sleep on the back work!
It’s the strength of a man’s back that determines his rugged physicality.
The legs will always have to support you, and will be firing statically for a lot of back work.
Back work will carry the legs.
Bulk ain’t gonna allow for stork stilts underneath you!
And you’re not going to get better at chin ups with back squats!
(Though I can see overhead squats doing so.)
You want to be big?
Go to planet fitness and marry the seated row, with extramarital relations to chins, pullups, and db c&p.
I add in smith btn press – which I feel as a rib cage expander, and it doesn’t matter that I do only 10% of the leg work I’d be doing if I was at a barbell gym with the right vibe running bulgarian squat every day.
Legs are covered with the carryover from back work (seated row, db c&p), and occasional periods running daily overhead squats.
Superset Everything :
•db c&p w/seated row
•db c&p w/chins or pullups
•seated row w/chins or pullups
These are SUPER sets!
You get very strong doing so.
I’m at the point where chins/pullups are an endurance exercise, am repping the stack on seated row, a bit lighter for very high reps, and am working my way to the stack one handed.
I’m thriving on lots of volume.
I can press past a pair of 100s.
The 75s are comically light.
The Sig Klein challenge is soon.
I make pf work!
In this moment with a focus on back and shoulders.
