Roger Lockridge’s Intense 4 Week Superset Back Workout
Workout Description
This routine is designed to build back muscles as outlined in my How To Use Supersets To Build A Thick & Wide Back article, which focuses on developing the thickness and wideness of the upper and mid back, as well as lower-back strength.
The weekly workouts are all designed from the same template: 6 back exercises that have been broken down into 3 supersets, which means Exercise B should be performed directly after Exercise A with a 60 second break between supersets.
