Best Science Based Pull Workout To Build Muscle
1. One-Arm Lat Pull-In
- Warm-up
- 2 sets of 15 reps each arm
This is a set of exercises to get the lats loosened up before you begin the real workout.
2. Eccentric-Accentuated Lat Pulldown
- 3 sets of 8-10 reps
According to Nippard, there is no real difference in targeting your lats when you perform the pull-up or the pulldown. So combine both of them. One day of the week, during the pull workout, you utilise the pulldown and the next time choose the pull-up.
3. Chest-Supported T-bar Row With Band
- 3 sets of 10-12 reps
4. Machine High-to-Low Row
- 2 sets of 12-15 reps
5. Kneeling Cable Pullover
- 3 sets of 15-20 reps
6. Snatch-Grip Barbell Shrug
- 3 sets of 12-15 reps
7. Reverse Pec Deck Superset
- 3 sets of 12/12 reps
For the first set, you do 12 reps of a rear delt dominant reverse fly. With little rest, change the exercise for one that the traps are dominating the movement. Repeat it three times.
8. Enhanced Eccentric EZ-Bar Curl
- 3 sets of 10-12 reps
9. Dumbbell Curl Tri Set
- 2 sets of 12/10/8 reps
This is a combination of two sets of three different exercises with different grips each.
The first exercise is the reserve grip, followed by the hammer curl, and then the supinated curl.
So each set is composed of: 12 reps of reserve grip curl, 10 reps of hammer curl, and 8 reps of supinated curl.
Rest one minute before doing the second set.
