Back WODs

Pulling circuits to build a stronger, wider back: pull-ups and bar variations, from beginner to advanced.

Frequently asked questions

Which exercises build the back in street workout?

Pull-ups are the foundation: wide-grip, close-grip, chin-ups and Australian pull-ups all hit the back from different angles. Muscle-ups and rows add volume once you're stronger.

How often should I train back?

Two to three pulling sessions a week work well, leaving at least a day of recovery in between so the muscles and tendons adapt.

Where do I start if I can't do a pull-up yet?

Start with Australian pull-ups (feet on the ground, body at an angle) and negative pull-ups, or use a resistance band. Strength builds within a few weeks.
