Great Form On Back Exercises

By Richard Daniels


In between free weights and the equipments there is actually quite a lot that you can do to get thickness and width to your back. Be extremely mindful with your back and at all times use a belt when you are working out with heavy weights, are bending over or a turning your waist.

Asking around amongst pros we kept coming up with these five main workouts, so we will describe them here as well as discuss how to have perfect form for optimum muscle gain.

Reverse Grip Pull-down.

This is a wonderful one for a warm up exercise. Make certain your seat is readjusted so that your thighs are completely parallel to the ground and you have a ninety degree angle behind your knees. Grab the bar and sit down. Concentrate all your attention on your shoulder blades and how they are coming together when you pull the bar down. Bring the bar to upper chest height and hold for a second 2. Return to the beginning position gradually. Your elbows and hands ought to be shoulder width apart throughout the exercise. You can do one warm-up set with lighter weights and afterwards 4 working sets with heavier weights.

Barbell Row

Barbell rows are not to be mixed up with Yates rows, where your upper body is inclined at a fifty degree angle and you are using an underhand grip. This exercise has actually become unpopular since it wasfound out that with heavy weights it can cause harm to the arms tendon. Rather choose correct rows, using a belt, to obtain maximum muscle development. 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. Your feet are just over shoulder-width apart. Grab the barbell from above as if you were doing barbell bench presses. Pull up concentrating your attention on your elbows and shoulder blades. Keep your head down otherwise your upper body will begin lifting up under the strain. The barbell must touch your chest then return to the floor. four sets of ten reps deliver a good workout.

One Arm Dumbbell Row

The one arm dumbbell row is a little more difficult to do than the barbell row because you have to learn the precise arm motion since you will tend to rotate your upper body and lean the weight on the supporting leg and arm.

When doing this particular exercise, you need to be careful to straighten your back and not have it arched or rounded. You have to be entirely focused on your shoulder blade retracting and depressing whilst your elbow stays close to your body. Don't take 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. Squeeze your shoulders together at the top of each movement.

Seated Cable Row

Although we have actually put this exercise at the end of the article, it can be excellent to for warming up too. This is a full back exercise that works deltoids, lats, traps, lower arm flexors and biceps. Enjoy the full back stretch that you get at the end of each motion. Just like all the other rows, attempt to focus on your back muscles and squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. When you release, do it in a really slow and controlled way, contrasting the weight as much as possible.

No matter what your routine is, if you take into consideration these five back muscle "musts" you will see the difference!
