Back Building by Lee Haney
April 6, 2009 | Posted by billspaced 
One of my all-time favorite bodybuilders, Lee Haney (8-time Mr Olympia winner), wrote the following article in 2005 about how to build a wide and thick back. Wide Guy In short, his workout is as follows:
- Wide-grip chinups 4 x 6-8
- Barbell rows/T-bar rows* 4 x 8-10
- Seated cable rows 4 x 8-10
- Single-arm dumbbell rows ** 3 x 8-10
* Alternate between the two each workout ** Perform every third workout As you can see, it's a simple routine. But the fact of the matter is, you don't need a complex routine to get outstanding results. As Haney says in the article,
Just remember the three Ps of successful bodybuilding: patience, perseverance and persistence.

Nice tips and I will employ them next time I hit the gym
Is this a once every seven days workout?
Charles Boisvert’s last blog post..Apr 8, How To Lose Belly Fat.
Charles, the article does not specifically say so, but from my recollection of Haney’s workouts, he used a 4-day split routine when building mass, 6 days when ripping up. This routine is a mass builder, so I’d conclude that it is to be done 2x a week.
