If you have ever wondered what the best dumbbell back exercises are, then you have come to the right place. In this video, I am goin to give you the best dumbbell back exercises that fit multiple different categories of training. The first category up in the best dumbbell back exercises is strength. If you want to get a stronger back, then you are going to do need to do some weighted pullups. The pullup is the ultimate test of back strength, in my opinion, and being able to use a dumbbell to overload them is the fastest way to get stronger lats. You can add weight to this exercise by either grabbing the dumbbell with your feet or by using a dog leash to create a weight belt. The next category up is power. For increasing power, the best dumbbell back exercise in this case would be either dumbbelll dead row or the gorilla row. Both options here allow you to be powerful, athletic, and explosively move heavier weights. Which exercises you choose is dependent on your goals, but if you need to train unilaterally, then the gorilla row is the choice for you. As we move on to hypertrophy, we have the explore the three different methods of muscle growth. The best back exercises using dumbbells in this case would depend on which method you are choosing. If tension overload is your goal, then a heavy tripod row is the way to go. This is a better option than a traditional 1-arm row with your knee on the bench because it eliminates the risk of injury. For stretch mediated hypertrophy, the best dumbbell exercise to go with is the dumbbell lat pullover. By dropping the hips as the arms go overhead, you are increasing the distance between the origin and the insertion points of the lats. This means that you are creating greater stretch on the lats as you perform the exercise. When metabolic overload is the method you are using, then a simply mechanical droplet is going to light up your back like never before. When you have reached failure on a chest supported row with the arms out wide, you have taken the muscles of your upper back to failure as well. However, to continue through failure and to revel in the burn, simply tuck the elbows and drive the tension from the upper back into the lats. For total body training involving the back as the primary muscle being trained, the dumbbell man maker is my choice here. This will allow you to train not just your pulling muscles such as your back, but will also allow you to train through a pushing movement as well as involving the legs. Total body training shouldn’t be ignored, even when a specific muscle group, like the back, is the target. As a ramp-up exercise for someone with an achey lower back that wants to get on their feet and train their back in free space away from machines or cables, then I would recommend the dumbbell t-bar row. Allowing yourself to keep the dumbbell as close to your center of gravity as possible will help to keep your low back in a safe position while opting to use heavier loads. For a corrective focus, there are two options you have here. For your upper back, you can do a quick series featuring the I’s, T’s, Y’s, and W’s. Raising a light pair of dumbbells in each of these directions will help to train the smaller muscles of the back that are often ignored. However, addressing them will not only work to eliminate pain and dysfunction, but they will assist on bigger compound lifts, like the deadlift. For the lower back, however, we introduce the dumbbell reverse hyper. This low back corrective exercise will help you to get a stronger, more resilient lower back. This will have carryover not just to other back exercises but to hinging exercises as well. Having stronger, more resilient lower back is paramount to staying healthy and strong in the gym. For more of the best dumbbell back exercises, keep watching the video to the end to get every one of my selections and give these exercises a shot whenever you don’t have access to the standard barbell moves or just want to an extra challenge BEST Dumbbell Back Exercises Here - Subscribe to this channel here -

I work out 4 times a week. I do back, triceps, shoulders, and forearms on day one. Chest, biceps, legs, and calfs on day 2. Then I repeat day one exercises on day 3 and repeat day 2 exercises on day 4, but I perform different exercises. I spend an hour to 75 minutes at the gym. I jog twice weekly and perform abs twice weekly on none gym days. How can I fit in all the exercises in this video and cover at least 3 more body parts It seems like a lot. Do I perform each body part once weekly instead of 2 or is twice a week better Please advise.

I’m obviously not one of the guys and I know I’ll never be as strong as any of the men who follow Jeff, in fact I’m a MUCH SMALLER (biological) FEMALE but. Several years ago I fractured my lumbar spine and I know for a fact I was only able to strengthen and return to training because I watched Jeff’s videos on back training and core stabilization

For the DB tripod row if I don’t have a bench can I put my hand on something else for support I don’t mean to sound dumb but is there a certain height I wanna make sure I’m touching at The only thing I have that might work would be my kitchen table but I wanna make sure it’s either not too low or not too high

Hey Jeff I been over training my calves and forearms every single day and measurable gains from it. Calves already grew 1/2 and forearms 3/4. I been lifting for 15 years. Never once focused this hard on my weak points was always scared like a little girl about over training. I gotta say what a scam that is. Lol

I’ve been doing man makers for about a year. I’m 68 years old. I call them renegade burpees. I started doing 1 set of 10-12 reps with 25 lb dumbbells and they almost killed me. I dropped down to 5 reps and added sets. Now I’m doing 4 sets of 5 reps with 35 lb dumbbells, at least 3x/week.

As a 'veteran' of many decades keeping myself fit and strong, I want to give kudos for all the great info you to the masses.
Most of this is 'old school' while you add great variations as well. Keep up the great 'work, ' Sir.

What about crazy (golfers) elbow pain, which prohibits pull-ups and many other exercises I’m not a golfer, but can’t shake what I’m being told is golfer’s elbow and it’s hindering my workouts. Any ideas

Thank you.
I’m at the stage of my life where I can only afford 30min workout at home.
My child and work take priority but I have some time for myself to build some minimum fitness level to play with my child.
