Nick Walker's Back Workout

Nick Walker has an impressive back and has put on a ton of thickness and width over the past few years. Here's a look at a back workout that helped get him to where he is now. 

Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns

Nick says he uses lat pulldowns to warm up and stretch out the lats. He can be seen using lighter weights and higher reps, pausing slightly at the bottom and focusing on the stretch in the lats at the top of the movement. Many bodybuilders use straps, so they don't have to focus on their grip while performing exercises like this. On the last set, Nick has his partner give him some assistance towards the end to get a better pump. At the end of the video, he says he does 2-3 working sets with a couple of dropsets.  

Reverse Grip Machine Pulldown

Nick continues to work his lats to keep them fired and loose by adding this variation into the workout. In each rep, Nick can be seen slowing down the movement during the eccentric part and then pulling down quickly. To help isolate the movement even further, he does one side at a time. Nick's partner can be seen assisting the weight down towards the end of each set; weight seems to be moderately heavy, with reps being in the 10-15 range for the 3 working sets he did. 

Chest Supported T-bar Row

Nick claims this exercise is one of his favorites because this is what helped develop his back the most. Chest supported rows are often one of the favorite back exercises for bodybuilders. In each rep, Nick can be seen slowing down the movement during the eccentric part and then pulling quickly back up. He completes two hard sets of 12 reps. 

Machine Pullover

This is his final exercise for the back; he wants to finish with a nice squeeze at the bottom of the lift and a great stretch at the top to really pump up his back. He completed 3 working sets with 10-12 reps to wrap up his back workout.  

Nick Walker Hamstring Workout

Walker moves on to finish up his workout with a few hamstring exercises. Today's gym session was all about the posterior muscles.

Stiff-legged Deadlift

Each rep of the straight leg deadlifts Nick can be seen slowing down the movement, going down, and then pulling quickly back up. He worked up to his working weight with a couple of warmup sets and then did two working sets with 10-12 reps. 

Seated Leg Curl

This is Nick's favorite hamstring exercise. Reps were completed with a pause at the bottom, and a going back up is slow and under control. He finishes with 2-3 working sets with 10-12 reps to close out the workout.

Sample Nick Walker Back & Hamstring Workout

Here is a quick sample workout you can do inspired by Nick's back and hamstring workout in this video. The purpose of your buildup sets is to warmup the muscles so that they're ready for the working sets' heavier loads.

  1. Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns: 1-2 buildup sets, 2-3 working sets x 10-12 reps (the last set do as a dropset)
  2. Reverse Grip Machine Pulldown: 3 sets x 10-15 reps
  3. T-Bar Row: 1-2 buildup sets (till working weight), 2 working sets x 12 reps
  4. Cable Pullovers: 3 sets x 12 reps
  5. Dumbbell Stiff-legged Deadlifts: 2-3 buildup sets, 2 working sets x 10-12 reps
  6. Seated Leg Curls: 3 sets x 10-12 reps

Note: Rests between sets 1-2 minutes.
