He performs moves that emphasize the mind-muscle connection, leading to greater increase in size. Here's a breakup of his back workout: View this post on Instagram Instagram Post
1 Wide Grip Barbell Bent-Over Row
Bumstead's back workout consists of heavy bent-over barbell rows, starting with 135 pounds and working up to 225. Typically, he lifts between 315 to 405 pounds, but he has stopped doing heavier weights recently in favor of focusing more on form, as he didn't see the growth in back development he was hoping for.

3 Wide Grip Seated High Row
Chris Bumstead's third working set is a seated cable row with a wide grip, focusing on form rather than weight. He chooses a slower pace for the concentric and eccentric portions of each repetition and squeezes at the top of each rep. At this point in his back programming, Bumstead typically moves to another seated plate-loaded machine.

4 Standing Dumbbell Curl and Barbell Curl
After ending his back workout, Bumstead has a little fun at the dumbbell rack and performs standing curls to finish off his biceps training. "Today's lesson: muscular connection over everything," he says. Bumstead trains lighter than usual but still worked his hardest — he warmed up well, performed drop sets, and was programmed for form over weight.
