deadlifts and back on different days?

Well Mentzer was even lower volume than this, only one or two workset per exercise, negatives and forced reps, but i think you have to have the proper genetics and juice to handle that and even so its to much for the nervous system. Let me know how it goes.

Saibotica,
I checked out the HIT DVD and yeah it's really taxing on the body. I imagine that might be part of the reason he looked so haggered when he was filming the DVD. He was walking really slow and looked like he had limited mobility, almost fragile looking. When he was an active BB he had a great phisique though.

I have a question about the chin ups. I don't have the special belt to do the weighted chins but I was wondering if instead, I could do Gironda Sternum Chins. I weigh quite a bit already so that might do the trick eh?

You don t need a belt just keep your feet together w a dumbell in between, that will even prevent u from bouncing. Any kind of chin up is good for variety, just don t go to acrobatic, you might get hurt with the fall.

Speaking of acrobatic, I trip out on how the "little" guys in the gym like to get on that chins practically jump off of those things. I'd kill myself trying to do some of that chit haha.

Anytime bro! By volume i mean amount of exercises, sets and reps! Try this:

One Dumbell pull over crossed on a bench

1 warm-up set
2x8reps maximum weight

Weighted Chin-ups

2 warm-up sets
4x8-6reps maximum weight

Dumbell rows both hands same time (neutral grip)

1 warm up
3x8-6 reps max w

Deadlift

warm up

2x3-5 max w 35lbs plates for a longer range of motion.

4 exercises, 11 worksets, the exercises ensure hypertrophy and strength due to the rep range and to the fact they all are freeweights! Make sure u do them w proper form and tight your shoulder blades for one second during contraction.

Eat and grow!

I don't know if it's my imagination or the fact that it's a new routine but after 2 back workouts I am noticing some more thickness in the mid back area, my neck is disappearing (thanks to a more pumped trap area) and I think my little wings grew a little too haha. I hope you don't mind but after deads I added a couple of barbell bent-over rows just to abuse those lower lats a little more. Oh yeah, I am using a supinated grip for this movement.
2 sets
315x8
365x8
Thanks a bunch Saibotica. I think I might incorporate this priciple to the rest of my body parts. Less is best.

P.S. Thanks to the added thicking of the
Rhomboids (mid back area) and lats, my
shoulders are getting stronger. I blew out
both shoulders a few months ago going toe
to toe with a powerlifter on benchpress. The
doc said part of the reason my shoulder got
messed up was because my back was weak
which I wasn't really in agreement with but
heck, the stronger Rhomboids are proving him
right.

Always glad i can help and yes your doc was right, if you have a strong back, specially the mid back and lats, you can be more explosive and stronger on your bench presses.
Does extra sets are actually good, go for it, if u feel strong.
