I would also, but my back hurts today!

 

[jfarnsworth]

Bumber on the back. You absolutely have to take care of a back or you don't go. I've incorporated and entire day in the weight room to just a back work out alone. I might be sore for a day or so after but when I wake up in the morning my back isn't stiff and achey anymore.

looks good

Jason, I would be curious to know what you follow for a back workout. I have a herniated disc in my lower back from my days as a fisherman. I found that ab work, and strengthening those core muscles and stretching my back greatly reduced the frequency of serious back problems. Let me know what you do.

Tess, sorry, didn't mean to stray from the original post. Great portrait! Do you make your living as a professional artist?

We'd have to check into the laws regarding that. If it is legal to do those people, then commissions may be available.....

This is what "I" try to do for my work out. Everything is done 3 sets of 8 -10 depending on the exercise.
First I try to run a gauntlet so to speak with these 5 exercises. I go from 1 exercise to the next, one after another. Each of these exercises uses a different part of the back muscles. You can burn out all 15 sets in about 20 -25 minutes depending on the rest period. Since I'm on limited time there's not much resting between sets especially with the different muscle groups.

1. Front lat pulldowns
2. Barbell rows
3. Flat bench lat pullovers
4. Dumbell Shrugs - This I use 4 sets of 16 -20reps
5. Trap/rear deltoid row machine. This just happens to be in the gym I work out in.

The next 4 exercises.
1. Seated T-bar rows (2 sets overhand grip, 2 sets reverse grip)
2. Reverse grip front lat pulldowns
3. Next I use the back extension machine for the lower lumbar
4. Torso Rotation machine (this hits the outside, lower back & abs)

Optional if time exercises.
1. Lat pulldowns to the rear
2. Dumbell rows
3. Barbell shrugs

This is it if I have enough time to do it all. Most of these exercises I read in flex and pieced it together from the pros. in the body building world. I hope this helps.

ROFLMAO!!!! Umm, no! I'd like a pic of Mr Parker, Mr Planas,
and my instructor, all in one.

SHEESH! :flame:

 

[jfarnsworth]

Actually I think Mr.Wedlake's site has the pictues your asking of. Parker, Wedlake, Planas & Trejo. If my memory is right. If not then throw tomatoes at me or something.

 

[Kirk]

Well I'm sure there's plenty of pics of Mr Parker and Huk ... I
want one of them two PLUS my instructor. It doesn't exist.
