The Best & Worst BACK Exercises (Ranked With Science)

Get my 10 Week Pure Bodybuilding Program here: In this video, I rank 20 of the most popular back exercises for hypertrophy on a tier list from “S” (for “Super”) to “F” (for “Fail”). We’ll be judging the exercises based on three criteria: 1) stretch and tension, 2) good feel, and 3) simple progression. At the end, I’ll also be crowning one exercise the best back exercise and one exercise as the worst. ------------------------------- ** My Fundamentals Training Program: ** MacroFactor Diet App: [FREE 2 week trial] ** My Ultimate Guide To Body Recomposition: ** MASS (Monthly Research Review): ** Rise Gym Apparel: ** PEScience Supplements: ** Instagram: ------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 - Back Exercise Criteria 0:49 - Renegade Rows 1:40 - Deadlift 2:31 - Above-The-Knee Rack Pull 2:46 - Wide-Grip Pull-Up 3:16 - Neutral-Grip Pull-Up 3:22 - Chin-Up 3:38 - Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown 3:59 - Neutral-Grip Lat Pulldown 4:08 - Half-Kneeling 1-Arm Lat Pulldown 4:38 - Cross-Body Lat Pull-Around 4:59 - Barbell Row 5:26 - Yates Row 5:51 - Pendlay Row 6:18 - Deficit Pendlay Row 6:28 - Meadows Row 6:52 - Inverted Row 7:26 - 1-Arm Dumbbell Row 7:57 - Kroc Row 8:25 - Free-Standing T-Bar Row 8:53 - Chest-Supported Row 9:22 - Cable Row 9:37 - Wide-Grip Cable Row 9:50 - Rope Face-Pull 10:37 - Cable Lat Pull-Over 11:14 - DB Lat Pull-Over ------------------------------- Filmed by Matt Dziadecki & Dal Shoots: Edited by Jeff Nippard Music: Dylan Sitts - Candle Collection (via Epidemic Sound) Xavy Rusan - Fact Checkers (via Epidemic Sound) Xavy Rusan - No Photos (via Epidemic Sound) Bankrupt Beats - Shadow Bankrupt Beats - Free Ninety ------------------------------- About me: I’m a Canadian natural pro bodybuilder and internationally-qualified powerlifter with a BSc in biochemistry/chemistry and a passion for science.
