Why I Did The Same 4 Back Exercises For 3 Years Straight (Back Workout For Mass)

In today's video I explain why I did the same back workout for several years straight back in my earlier bodybuilding days and was able to build a big back successfully even with limited exercise variation.

I'm not recommending that you also do the exact same back exercises over that long of a period, but I'm just covering this to demonstrate a general muscle building point.

The reason I did this was simple: I was continually getting stronger from workout to workout (there were four specific back exercises that I did) and wasn't hitting any back training plateaus. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

The bottom line is that if you're coming back to the gym stronger on a consistent basis, your program is working. It means that your workouts are successfully stimulating muscle growth each time which is why the strength increases keep coming. Size and strength are correlated for the most part.

So, given that my back routine covered all the major back muscles and was producing balanced back hypertrophy, there was no explicit need to change anything.

I do program in more muscle building exercise variety noawadays, but the central point here is that exercise variety is not some sort of bodybuilding holy grail that you need to obsess over.

Everyone wants to show you a million "unique" exercises nowadays (mainly for clicks and views), but in reality it's just not necessary in order to build a bigger back or build any given muscle for that matter.

You don't need to be performing a brand new set of "6 unique back exercises for mass" every few days or even every few weeks. You'll be much better off to get a solid set of lifts in place for each muscle group and then maximize your progress on those movements for a given training cycle before changing things up.

For those who are curious, this is the specific back workout I did that helped me build a bigger back very successfully in my younger years:

Deadlifts, weighted pull ups, dumbbell rows, smith machine shrugs. Plain and simple. I did 2 sets of 5-7 reps for each lift (except for the shrugs which were 8-10 reps) with all sets to failure. Nowadays I typically recommend leaving a rep or two in the tank in which case one could peform 3-4 sets per lift instead.

There's nothing wrong with mixing up your workouts over time, but it doesn't need to be done on a week to week basis, and you definitely don't need a million different exercise variations to build muscle effectively.
