THE JACKSON FIVE: BACK TRAINING TIPS

“I do chins as a warmup.”
“I sometimes do pulldowns with an underhand grip to work my lower lats more.”
“I like to make the final set of each back exercise a drop set.”
“Sometimes I’ll also superset the final set of one exercise with the first set of another to up the intensity.”
“I train back with traps once per week.”
