Which Are The Best Back Exercises?

By Richard Daniels


In between dumbells and the machines there is really quite a lot that you can do to get thickness and width to your back. Be extremely mindful with your back and consistently wear a belt when you are working out with heavy weights, are bending over or a twisting your waist.

Asking around amongst pros we kept finding these 5 major exercises, so we will explain them right here as well as explain the best ways to have perfect form for optimal muscle gain.

Reverse Grip Pull-down.

This is a terrific one for warming up. Make certain your seat is adjusted so that your thighs are completely parallel to the ground and you have a ninety degree anglebend at the knee. Grab the bar and sit down. When you pull the bar down, focus your attention on your shoulder blades and how they are coming together. Bring the bar to upper chest height and hold for a moment 2. Return to the starting position very slowly. Your elbows and hands must be shoulder width apart throughout the workout. You can do one warm-up set with lighter weights and afterwards four working sets with heavier weights.

Barbell Row

Barbell rows are not to be confused with Yates rows, where your upper body is inclined at a 50 degree angle and you are utilizing an underhand grip. To do proper rows, your upper body need to be bent forward so that it is parallel to the ground.

Have the barbell on the floor on front of you. Hold the barbell from above as if you were doing barbell bench presses. The barbell must touch your chest and then go back to the floor.

One Arm Dumbbell Row

The one arm dumbbell row is a little tougher to do than the barbell row due to the fact that you need to find out the precise arm movement because you will tend to rotate your torso and lean the weight on the supporting leg and arm.

When doing this particular exercise, you must be careful and straighten your back and not have it arched or rounded. You should be completely concentrated on your shoulder blade retracting and depressing whilst your elbow remains close to your body. Don't let your elbow "out and up" as if you are about to shoot off an arrow.

Hammer Strength Seated Row

Adjust your seat so that your hands are shoulder height in the start position. Pull the weights towards your chest, squeezing you lats. Do not make use of the strength of your legs by pushing on the foot platforms or your arms. Squeeze your shoulders together at the top of each motion.

Seated Cable Row

Benefit from the complete back stretch that you get at the end of each movement. As with all the other rows, attempt to concentrate on your back muscles and squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.

No matter what your routine is, if you include things like these 5 back muscle "musts" you will see the difference!
