The No-Pain Six-Pack workout program: Back day

If you’ve been training for a few years, chances are you’re no longer able to do all your favorite lifts, due to injury or age. But there’s no excuse to bail on hard training entirely. 

Instead, with a few exercise substitutions, you can continue to challenge yourself, build muscle, and burn off fat all over your body to reveal lean definition and the six-pack you’ve been working towards. Today, get to work on your back.

Directions

Perform the following workout once per week in the order shown. Exercises are performed as straight sets, so you’ll complete all prescribed sets for one move before going to the next. For exercise 1, perform five sets; for exercises 2-3, perform as many sets as needed.
