in a rut, need back and chest routine

[dogsoldier]

I have been doing basically the same back and chest w/o for a long time. I need to make some change ups to help with the boredom. Without me giving away what I do on chest and back days; please post your routines so I can see what you are doing for some ideas.

I can't post my chest and back routine, because it's different every time I do them. Find more exercises to swap in and out. Build around the big 3, squat, DL, bench.

Squats, deads and bench are at the core of my routine. You are right, need to do more home work.

Are you flat benching, Incline DB benching or doing dips for chest?
Deadlifting, pull-ups, bent-over rows or v-bar or lat pull-downs for back?

These are just some pretty effective exercises....

Thanks Danny. The only thing I don't do that you mentioned is the bent over rows. I will add that next back day.

I just recently added bent over rows to my routine and I can feel the work more than any other back exercise aside from deads. Really great workout.

bent rows are great,they are at the core of my back workout.

Yup I'm new to BOR but (only did them for a couple weeks now) and boy they feel good.

Well I added the bent over rows to my routine yesterday. Since this is a new exercise for me, I kept it light at 120 pounds. Yep, you guys were right. 3 sets of 12 and these kicked my back pretty good. FWIW, I still need to work on form so these don't turn into an arm exercise. Probably should have done them with a bare bar first to get the feel of it. Maybe next back day I'll try this with dumb bells. Thanks for the suggestion.
