Ok for biceps right now, I am just doing 3x8 pullups, close grip, and then like3x10 with 55 lbs(bar with 5's on each side)....

For back, I did 3x10 lat pull down, 3x5 wide grip pull-ups, and then like 3x10 bent-over back flys (if that what you call them)

I was doing bent-over T-bar row, but that was hurting my chest too much from lying on that pad

Anyway, my question is am I doing enough for biceps??? Do pull-ups work biceps really well??

Also, any ideas for back??? Is there a way to work like the mid back area?? I know how to work like lower back and traps

Thanks for any help I appreciate it
 
Actually you can tell us....
Are you keeping a journal?
Did you take measurements?
Is the "middle" of your back really lagging?

Feed us more info and we can give you better advice
 
Nah i have not taken measurements...My biceps feel stronger when i flex them, I was just more wondering if my bicep exercises sounded good or not I guess...

I don't know if my mid-back is lagging, I just know that I have workouts that do upper and lower back, I'm not sure though if there are workouts/lifts for mid-back...thanks for any help
 
Reverse grip bent over rows puts more emphasis on the lower lat as does reverse grip lat pulldown, It also puts much more on the biceps, DOnt be conned into doing to much lower back work, deadlifts and squats should take care of that.
 
Wow, trainerty makes *THE* point of the day:

Are you keeping a journal?

Now, how many of us are doing that? Yet it's the easiest, best way to track your progress, your dead ends (when to change up), and your goals (and your misses, so you can fix them). Progress can come slow (we start curling 80 in Jan and are "only" curling 95 in Dec, and we think we've made no progress. A journal shows that you have.)

Jewfro you're young. Really, a training journal is a SUPERB idea. (Can you tell I REALLY like the idea of a training journal?)
