Plan Details
The JR's Build-a-back routine by John Rippon is a 2 day workout plan. It is an advanced level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
Exercise routine for building a strong, muscular back. You should combine these 'pull' days with 'push' and 'legs' days for an overall, balanced, whole-body training scheme. It's assumed that people using this routine will have sufficient knowledge to choose appropriate exercises for that, bearing in mind that guys in particular often tend to over-work their chest and front delts in relation to their back!
