The various ways to plan a Back Workout
 

Plan A -  Train your entire back as one unit.

This is by far the commonest method. This means that you train your upper back i.e. Trapezius and Lats and Middle and Lower Back as One unit in the same workout.

Plan B -  Train your Upper and Lower back separately

In this workout plan you train lats and mid back with rows in one workout. Deadlifts for lower back are done separately usually with Leg Training. The basis of these workouts is that Deadlifts train hamstrings as well, so many bodybuilders believe that they should be part of Leg Training.

Plan C -  Training Trapezius with shoulders and your remaining back separately.

This is the push-pull split routine as discussed in Split Routines section.

What is the best way to go?
 

Beginners/Intermediates - Train your entire back together either as in Plan A or C.

Advanced trainers looking to compete can train using Plan B. Advanced Bodybuilders should listen to their bodies. They should know how their body responds to various workouts. It is difficult for beginners, but for Advanced Trainers who are looking beyond just muscle mass, its not optional, its mandatory.
