Note: This is routine of an IFBB professional and he uses PEDs during his preparation. However this routine can be done by natural as well because the back is very tough muscle group and can take a beating. Make sure there are a few days between the sessions and the routine does interfere with your leg workouts since having a tired back musculature is a problem when doing squats, lunges, Romanian deadlifts, front squats...etc.
