hey C,
what's kind of grip you using with the rows?

Looks solid, keep the weight up and we'll see if you can get 4 plates on each side of your row

I've gotten 3 and a quarter on each side...

I use palms down... wide grip. When I grip on the inside, on those heavy weights... well... I got a stinger about 2 weeks ago from that sort of movement LOL... so out wide... hits my lats more...

Hey C...Exactly how many people gave you odd looks, and out of those people, how many do you feel were afraid of you?

I don't spend too much time in the gym looking at other people... I think the guy in the mirror, during a workout... has veins popping out of his face and it looks like his eyes are going to explode... sometimes, he sticks his tongue ou....wait... that's me...

Nevermind.

I must say that back and legs are my most favorite muscle groups to train. They can handle huge weights, plus they grow really fast.

My favorite back workout is:

Barbell Rows - 2x 5-12
Seated Pulley Rows - 2x 10-12
Partial Deadlifts - 1 x 4-8
Chins or Wide Grip Pull-Downs - 2 x failure
Shrugs (barbell or dumbbell) - 2 x 8-12

Lou -- what kind of weight do you do? Is that part of the DC workout?

The program that I first posted was a routine I used to follow, until I came upon DC training.

I terms of weights:

I have used as much as 315lbs on barbell rows, 600lbs on partial deadlifts, and 140lb dumbbells for 15 reps on shrugs. These are the heaviest dumbbells in the gym.

With DC training, I am aiming for higher reps, so my weights are a bit lighter.
