View Best Exercises for a Complete Back Workout

Written By admin on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 | 5:04 AM

The back is comprised of four distinct muscle groups. Here's how to zero in on each one.


The back isn't only one of the body's biggest and strongest bodyparts, it's also the most complicated in terms of being a series of interconnected muscle groups. For the purposes of this feature we're dividing the back into its four main regions: 1) the upper and outer lats, 2) the lower lats, 3) the middle back and 4) the lower back. Each area requires specific stimulation via the exercises and angles of attack used, and we'll show you the two best exercises for each.

With this menu, you can customize your own workout by choosing one exercise from each category to create a total program. Or if one region is lagging, you can pick additional movements that hit that area only. Either way, fully understanding which back exercises hit which portions of your back will allow you to build shape (in particular the V-taper), thickness and width.

Note: Many of the exercises we include here do not isolate but rather emphasize certain areas of the back musculature.
