90 minute workouts forever (and build muscle much faster) If you want to build a thick, wide back you've got to train hard. that we know. However, does it mean that we have to train for hours? Not at all. In this video, I show you that you can get an incredibly effective back and lat workout in under 25 minutes! It all comes down to the intensity of your workouts. I say all the time, you can workout long or you can workout hard but you can't do both. This complete back workout shows you to turn 4 classic back exercises into a workout that will help you to add more width to your back and thickness to your rhomboids. To completely develop your back muscles you have to include both horizontal rowing exercises and vertical pulling exercises. This workout shows you the pullups and neutral grip lat pulldowns (both vertical pulling back exercises. One arm dumbbell rows and barbell rows are included as horizontal rowing movements. The full back workout is as follows: - Weighted Pullups into Bodyweight Pullups - 3 sets to failure (drop set) - Barbell Rows - 3 sets to failure (10-12 RM) - Neutral Grip Pulldowns - 3-4 sets to failure (6-10RM) - One Arm DB Rows - 3 sets each arm The original back workout that was sent in (which inspired me to film this workout response) included an additional back exercise. seated rows. Due to the redundancy of this movement as well as the exaggerated volume in place already (5-6 sets for each of the exercises above, I removed the rows from the workout. Regardless. even if I had performed them, I would have still completed this entire back workout in less than 40 minutes. As it was, this back workout took me just 23 minutes to complete. And that is the main point. You can either workout long or hard, but you cannot do both. This back workout is short but explosive. It trades in workout length for workout intensity. When you do this, you see faster results in shorter time. Your back will be wider. Your mid back will be thicker and your lats will flare. For a complete workout program that will give you more than just a wide, thick full back then head to and get your ATHLEAN-X training program. This complete workout will provide just the stimulus your muscles need to grow without causing you to overtrain

What's controlling the negative? And you are right. The workout shouldn't take more than 45 minutes. Even for a beginner like me, it's 5: 15 am check in Gym, 2-3 minutes stretching, 10 minutes cycling, then the workouts that goes on till like 6: 15 or 6: 20, then 5 minutes or of stomach rows (1-2 excercises with a couple of reps, coz my trainer doesn't like my a lil bit round belly, so that's every day) then finishing it up on treadmill for about 10-11 minutes of cardio, by then it is 6: 40 or 6: 45. So take out half an hour of cardio and stomach, it is 1 hour of exercise for me but since I am beginner, I am doing minimum 5 exercises of a workout to hit all muscles possible in the beginning. Maybe after a couple of months it will get a bit more intense and a lot more focused, will go down to 45 minutes. I am a pure beginner at 32 years who completed 2 weeks as of yesterday. Judge me all you want but yes I just like Jeff said don't really count, just go till I can't bloody control it. In some exercises the number of reps is only 5 max. After that I don't seem to have any strength left to press the weights up. But I won't give up.

Hi Jeff, My name is Jon, I really enjoy your videos, You are an inspiration for my workouts, I can't thank you enough for all of your help! I was wondering, If I took these same principles for a bicep and tricep workout with this sequence, if you thought this would work: biceps: incline dumbbell curls 3 sets to failure, hammer curls 3 sets to failure, wide grip easy bar curls 3 sets to failure, and dumbbell bicep curls for the short head 3 sets to failure. triceps: tricep rope pulldowns 3 sets to failure, tricep overhead rope extensions 3 sets to failure, dumbbell lying tricep presses 3 sets to failure, and tricep barbell close grip bench presses 3 sets to failure. Thank you again for all that you do for everybody!

23 minutes is way to long! A simple straight arm pulldown/machine pullover supersetted with a curl grip pulldown for lats and lower traps (1 set each, a facepull supersetted with a barbell row or seated machine row for the middle traps and smaller muscles of the back (1 set each) and a shrug for the upper traps (1 set) should only take 5 minutes of training time. Multiplying by 2-3 times for setting up equipment, moving between exercises and rest between supersets should give you a back workout taking no more than 15 minutes, probably closer to 10 minutes.

In all honesty, thought I was in the gym for too short of a time compared to people. But knowing I work hard and seeing results, also Jeff telling me it's enough, made me comfortable with my length - the gym. Honestly in the gym for 45 mins, no longer than 1 hr & 15. That's with warmups & cool downs. I take 30-45 sec breaks between reps for the intensity & pump. Let's all get these gains!

people are able to spend the whole day doing reps because they dont put max effort on it, i was doing the same and now i see the difference, max effort and control. numbers are nice to take notes but not to dictate quality thx Jeff, i can see how jessi could have done a major impact in the quality of the filming if u had him earlier on: D so nice what u guys have there!

-18: 25 that's one bad ass machine my gym does not have. What's the alternative? I have another question: You did the same weights for 3 sets to failure. What will happen if let's say in the third set, you increase the weight by one more multiplier, say you were at 135 pounds on the pull down machine for two sets and on the third one, you bump it up by 5 more pounds?

all of my gym training for motocross is done in less than 30mins.
high intensity, high heart rate, supersets and little to no breaks.
my endurance is solid for hard riding for between 30 - 40 mins.
easy riding i could go for ages.
long sessions do nothing that hard short sessions cant. other than maybe eating into time that could be spent recovering lol

Excellent video Jeff. As always. One comment though, i suspect that the idea behind 12. 11. 10. 9. 8 is to lift the amount of weight that will make you fail on that num of reps. Or there about. Its not meant to be taken literaly each time. I. e. if you can do 13 reps you go for it. But this then means that the weight that you are lifting is too light.

I am 71 soon to be 72. I will be trying this workout as soon as my silver sneakers comes through my Gym. I did p90 when I was 58 and was able to do 3 one arm pushups after 90 days. Then I fell off a cliff and broke some ribs and punctured my lung. I like what you say. I am looking forward to doing it your way.

your always talking about hypertrophy. ive got huge muscles and lack strength. i actually want smaller muscles and more strength. ive tryed split routines, full body workouts using only compound exercises, 5X5, 3x10, and 3x20. nothing is working to raise my embarrassing strength levels for my muscle size.
