You will be pleased to know that the bodylastics bands provide more than enough resistance for 90% of people and are adjustable. They adjust to provide very heavy as well as light resistance. You can get them at TryBodylastics.com It is very important to work the muscles in your back just as much as any other muscles in your body to have a balanced physique. Make sure you retract your shoulder blades squeezing them back at the end of the motion. Your shoulders should not protract. It is important you have sufficient resistance from your resistance tubes. If your tube does not give you enough repetitions to challenge you for at the very most 20 reps when you are fresh you may want to either get a tougher tube or use 2 tubes.

www.LeeHayward.com I like to start my back workouts off with a quick warm up on rowing machine. This is a great machine to use as a warm up prior to any workout because it moves all the major muscle groups and get the blood flowing and increases your core temperature. I’ll usually do between 5 and 10 minutes on the rower until I get a light sweat on and feel ready to move on to the weight training portion of my workout. My first exercise is chest supported T-bar rows. The gym that I normally workout at doesn’t have this style of T-bar row machine so I like to add it in when ever possible. You’ll notice that I keep one foot on the floor and one on the foot plate. This helps take some of the pressure off your chest and makes it easier to breath deeper when doing the exercise. Next I move on to one of my favourite back exercises, the 1 arm dumbbell row. This allows you to work each lat individually and helps to develop balance and proportion between the left and right sides. I like to do these free standing with my legs straddled as this creates a solid base and will allow you to lift heavier weights then if you did them kneeling on a flat bench like most people do. Here I’m doing lat pull downs with a wide grip. This particular machine that I’m using here is one of the old fashion chrome universal machines. I don’t think there are too many of these still kicking around. It’s similar to the ones they used in the pumping iron and in Arnold’s encyclopaedia of bodybuilding. As
