Muscle Gaining back workouts

The following workouts are intended for your back. The main muscles that you want to work in your back are your lats and deltoids (this would be the upper back area). For those of you who want to work the lower back a little more, the deadlift is a great exercise for that. The following video gives you some great back exercises.




Now, the only really big and important workout for building muscles in your back is the lat pulldowns, or pullup. I am sure that you have heard of a pull up, and if not, refer to the video (it is the first exercise the guy does). One quick tip on the pull ups is to make sure you go all the way down before coming back up for a second rep. I see a lot of people doing pullups and they only go down halfway and then come back up. This is not going to benefit at all. Keep the exercise controlled and go down until the angle at your elbows are around 170 degrees, if you know what that means.

The lat pulldowns are great if you are have weight room to do it in because you can adjust the weight that you use. Another great back muscle targeting exercise is the bent over rows that he was doing. This is where you use a dumbell, and while leaning over a bench, pull the dumbell up. This can also be done in some gyms if they have a seated row machine, which looks a lot like a lat pulldown machine, only you sit down and pull the bar toward yourself.
