Best Back Exercises

By Mike Caton


Your back can do a lot of things and correspondingly has several muscles that do these things. This article is going to emphasize those motions and the associated exercises.

Taking the arms down from a higher point. Your Latissimus Dorsi, which starts at mid back and then wraps around the sides is responsible for this motion. These are the reason for the V design of the backside. You can target this muscle with the following exercises: Pull Ups, Chin Ups together with Pull Downs in any form. Note: images for all these exercises can be found here.

Taking the arms backward while at your side. This action is normally called rowing. You will use these muscles when doing this motion: the latissimus dorsi in addition to the teres muscles, spinatus muscles along with the rhomboids. Some of the exercises that achieve this action and pinpoint those muscles are: Rows, One-Arm Row and also Low Pull.

Moving the arms backward while you maintain them at shoulder level. This is the lesser common of all the shoulder actions. It would necessitate having the arms raised before you and to draw the arms backward as you are maintaining them lifted. The sport of rowing is one of the few times we do this motion. In rowing, your elbows are maintained high versus the row exercise in which your elbows are near your sides. Physical exercises that imitate this motion and train each of these muscles are the just like for the regular row exercises, but you must maintain raised elbows.

Lifting the shoulders. Also known as a shrug, this is a common and functional movement. This movement uses the trapezoid muscles. Exercises that accomplish this movement are any of the various shrug exercises.

Extending the Back. Doing so is moving the back from a bent over posture to a neutral posture. The muscle tissues that bring this about are the erector spinaes. A small number of the exercises which make use of these particular muscles are Back Extensions on a Ball or Roman Chair as well as tilting forward while on a rowing machine.

When training, be conscience to choose exercises that do each of these actions so you can have a great looking, healthy back.
