The back has many functions and therefore several muscles that should be targeted when exercising the back. This article will highlight these movements and exercises.
Taking the arms down from a heightened point. This motion employs the sizable latissimus dorsi muscle tissue that wrap from your middle back around your side. These are the reason for the V profile of the backside. Activities that achieve this motion are: Pull Ups , Chin Ups and also Pull Downs at any form. Note: images for all these exercises can be found here.
Pulling the arms back from a neutral position. This motion is commonly described as a rowing motion. The muscles that are most involved are the latissimus dorsi and the teres muscles, spinatus muscles and the rhomboids. A few of the exercises that accomplish this motion and target these muscles are: Rows, One-Arm Row and Low Pull.
Pulling the arms back while in an elevated position. This is the least common of all the shoulder movements. It would require having the arms elevated in front of you and then to pull the arms back while keeping them elevated. There are very few movements in life that do this except for the sport of rowing. During this activity, your elbows are kept high as opposed to the row exercise where your elbows are at your sides. Exercises that simulate this movement and work these muscles are the same as for the standard row exercises, but while maintaining elevated 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 Spinal column. This means moving the back from a bent over posture to a neutral one. The muscle tissues that make this happen are the erector spinae muscles. Just a few of the exercises which make use of these particular muscles are Back Extensions on a Ball or Roman Chair and also tilting forward while on a rowing machine.
While exercising your back, make sure to select exercises that target each of these movements in order to have a complete, strong back.
