True Grit Performance Lab

Everyone has an opinion about the path you're taking. Very few have actually walked it.

If someone has never built the life you're chasing, be careful how much influence you give their words. Doubt is easy. Criticism is free. Greatness is earned.

Surround yourself with people who challenge you, elevate you, and have the experience to guide you—not those who are comfortable watching from the sidelines.

Keep your head down. Stay disciplined. Put in the work. Let your results speak louder than their opinions.

The pursuit of greatness requires selective hearing.

Here are 4 of my favorite back exercises for growth and strength.

1. Deadlifts.
This will work the entire posterior chain. From mid back to hamstrings

2. Dumbell rows
Great exercise for strength of the mid and lower Latissimus Dorsi muscle. This will give you that thick back where you can't put your arms down.

3. Pull-ups are a must for overall back development. If you can't do it by yourself, use an assisted machine. Either way, get these in if you can.

4. Barbell Bent Over Rows
Want that turtle she'll of a back? One that screams power and strength when wearing a tank top? This is the movement for you. This does do a number on your lower back, so be mindful of the weight you use. But there is no doubt that this exercise puts slabs of muscle on your back.

Try these out on your next back day.
I would do 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps for the deadlifts, and 4 to 5 sets 12 to 15 reps for the other movements.
