FOR MORE workouts vids: howgainmuscle.org .. Pull-ups are one of the BEST exercises for your back. They’ll put muscle on your back fast — and you don’t need any equipment to do them! Not only do they build muscle, but they also build great functional strength and athleticism since you are lifting your body weight. But — it’s VERY IMPORTANT that you do your pull-ups the RIGHT way! Otherwise, you risk injuring yourself, and you won’t get the benefits of the exercise. I also show you 3 pullup variations — one to add width to your back, one to add thickness to your middle back, and one that also works your biceps in addition to your back. I also give you a KILLER 12 set pull-up workout to do. You can add a lot of size to your back just doing this. Of course, it’s best if you have a full back routine with dead lifts, rows, etc… but if you only have a pull-up bar, doing just this is a great start.
