7-Minute Home Dumbbell Bodybuilding Back Workout

Blast Your Back At Home With Some Dumbbells in Record Time!

By , About.com Guide

Sometimes I have very little time to get my bodybuilding workouts in, believe it or not. For cases when time is an extremely scarce resource I have developed mini bodybuilding routines that can be executed from the comfort of the home with only a pair of dumbbells. In this bodybuilding training article, I provide you with my 7-Minute Home Dumbbell Bodybuilding Back Workout.



Home 7-Minute Dumbbell Back Workout Routine

Tri-set:
  • Dumbbell Two-Arm Rows (Palms Facing Down) 2 sets of 10-12 reps (no rest)

  • Dumbbell Two-Arm Rows (Palms Facing Up) 2 sets to failure (no rest)

  • One Arm Rows 2 sets to failure (1 min rest)


Back Workout Notes:

1) Train the back twice a week.

2) There are many workout splits that you can use in order to train your back. For more information on different training splits please take a look below:

Bodybuilding Training Split #1:
Day 1: Chest, Biceps, Triceps

Day 2: Legs

Day 3: Back, Shoulders, Abs

Day 4: Rest

Day 5: Start Over


Bodybuilding Training Split #2:

Day 1: Chest, Back, Abs

Day 2: Legs

Day 3: Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps

Day 4: Rest

Day 5: Start Over


Bodybuilding Training Split #3:

Day 1: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

Day 2: Legs

Day 3: Back, Biceps, Abs

Day 4: Rest

Day 5: Start Over


3) If you have more time, you can add a third set to each of the back exercises above. That would make the back routine around 10 minutes in length.

4) If you only have 7 minute segments to train during the day, do not be afraid to split your routine up so that you can do your back in the morning and the rest of the bodyparts throughout the day when you can squeeze them in.
