Best back exercises

There are several muscles that make up the bulk of the back:

·      Trapezius (traps)
·      Rhomboids
·      Teres major and minor
·      Infraspinatus
·      Latissimus dorsi (lats)
·      Erector spinae (iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis muscles).

The best back exercises:

1. Deadlift - one of the best but for many people the most difficult exercise.
In fact, it’s one of the best all-around exercises for your entire body because it involves hundreds of muscles and allows for tremendous overload.

2. Chin - up

This exercise trains every major muscle in your back and involves the biceps to a significant degree as well.

3. Seated Cable Row- great exercise using the machine. 

 

4. Dumbbell Row

The dumbbell row is another fantastic compound exercise for the back, and particularly for the lats.

5. T-Bar Row- The t-bar row is another type of row that is a solid back builder.
