Working Out Your Back

POSTED July 6, 7:01 PM

Primary muscle worked out with pullups and rows

The lats are the second or third biggest muscle on your body depending on your body type. Being that the lats are one of your bigger muscles, this means working them out will burn off more calories than working out most other muscles.

There are two main things I want to point out; wide grip pullups widen the lats giving you butterfly wings and rowing motion based workouts thicken the back muscles. Depending on the angle of the rowing motion you are doing will change the target of the lat area you are working out. I do about 4 sets of 5 different excercises for my back every six days. By the way, that's my back there!

For more info: Click here which will take you to a link with several different excercises and ways to improve your back.
