A big, thick back is an essential piece of any awesome physique. Wide lats make your upper body look bigger and your waist look smaller, and thick traps—upper, medium, and lower—make your entire body look more powerful. If you want to look and perform like a superhero, you can't turn your back on back training.
If you're not sure of the best way train your back—or you just need a new workout to add to your split—let these inspiring BodySpace members help you out. These seven Muscle-tech athletes know exactly what it takes to look great on the stage and perform at their peak in the gym. See how they train this major muscle group, and learn from their principles.

When he trains his back, Ed likes to stick to the basics: wide-grip pull-ups, heavy rows, and deadlifts. His goal is to achieve overall width and density. "Proper exercise selection will help work every angle of your back," he explains.
What separates Ed from many of his fellow pro-card hopefuls is his excellent warm-up technique. "You must add a warm-up to prevent injury while enhancing performance," he advises. If you try Ed's back workout, you'll notice he starts it with the TRX trainer before he does any weighted work.

Jimmy uses multiple variations of pull-downs to help hit his back from multiple angles. He also chooses exercises that will help him build width and strength at the same time. "I believe in using variation and hitting your back muscles at every angle possible to achieve the best possible development," he says.
As you go through this workout, you'll see that each exercise is done with a different rep scheme. This is purposeful. Utilizing various rep ranges will stimulate your muscles in new ways so they never stop growing.


is back, Jesse prefers keeping the rep ranges moderate, making sure he can lift as heavy as possible without calling on any other muscle groups. "Remember, muscle grows under tension, so try not to work another big muscle group with back if you want insane results," he says.
Jesse prefers to hit his biceps on back day. "Adding a few biceps exercises after you work your back is a good way to spark extra growth," he says, "especially because they've already been torn down from all the back work."

Exercise Note: Do 4 sets with a wide grip, 4 sets with a narrow, underhand grip, and 4 sets with grip on lowest bar.
"For almost all sets, no matter what exercise I'm doing, I stop the motion just before lockout in order to keep tension on the muscle and control the movement," Justin explains. His primary goal is to lengthen the amount of time his muscles are under tension.
Justin also notes that he always adds a squeeze at the top of every movement, holding it for 1-3 seconds before lowering the weight back down. He lists this as one of the keys that have helped him develop his excellent back.

Exercise Note: Use the V-handle and get on one knee to let the weight stretch your arms above your head so you really feel the lat. Open the chest up as you pull the handle toward the body.

Jason likes to focus on specific areas of his back during each phase of his workout. "The first phase stimulates the outer—and often weaker—portions of the back," he explains. "The second phase is all about the core, and building power movements into the routine to help build strength in the lower back. The third and final phase will completely fatigue the previously stimulated areas."

For his back workout, Nick starts with pull-ups. "I usually hit pull-ups with different hand placement or grips to target the different parts of my back. I do them with a wide grip, close grip, neutral wide grip, neutral medium grip, a V-bar attachment, and a supinated grip." Nick's workout illustrates how subtle adjustments can change the way muscles are targeted.
Nick makes sure every day is different by alternating body-weight-focused back days with resistance-focused back days. These changes in load help him hit his muscles with all types of stressors.

Note: Do first sets heavy; go lighter and do more reps after third set.
 polite, pleasant attitude and killer physique have made him a great coach for the masses. He may not be the biggest guy in the gym, but he has aesthetics that make guys jealous and ladies swoon.
"Back day is my favorite day," says Dave. "I like to go heavy and get after it." He adds that he always takes straps with him to the gym. "Your arms will give out before your back does, so if that continues to happen you won't maximize the growth potential of your back."
He says that rack pulls are the highlight of his workout. "I retract my shoulder blades at the top to see the full effects of the movement."

 Best Muscle-Building Shoulder Exercises: Which are the best exercises for overall shoulder development.We let science decide. 141 https://keranfitness.blogspot.com 17 325 The list you're about to read is based on two factors: EMG tests, which measure electrical activity in the deltoids; and an exercise's ability to accommodate load. For example, you may be able to do an overhead barbell press with 185 pounds, but use only 35-pound dumbbells on lateral raises. More often than not, then, the press is the better choice, even if the lateral raise totally lights up the EMG. We cite research, when available, but we'll admit up front that this list reflects yet another factor: our best judgment, based on many years of lifting. For each exercise, we'll tell you why it made the list and how to use it in the context of your workouts. If you disagree with our selections, or think we missed the boat by overlooking your favor

The Top 15 Lat Moves to Build a Stronger Back

  The Top 15 Lat Moves to Build a Stronger Back: Pull down, pull up, and row your way to building a massive back. WESTEND61 GETTY IMAGES Your workouts and training, like most parts of your life, should be based upon balance. Between hard training sessions and recovery days, upper body and lower body split, strength, and cardio, the path to a healthy, functional body are found by achieving some sort of equilibrium. That's especially true when it comes to the approach lots of guys make when they determine which muscles to target in their workouts. For many, their main aim is to build up their anteriorly positioned muscles—those on the front of your body, a.k.a. mirror muscles, like the chest, shoulders, biceps, and abs—while neglecting the muscles that aren't as immediately prominent on the posterior (back) side of their bodies. Key among those: the lats (scientific name: latissimus dorsi), the wide, fan-shaped muscle that makes up a large portion of your back. When guys focus on

CHEST SUPERSET WORKOUTS FOR MEN

 CHEST SUPERSET WORKOUTS FOR MEN  We get it—chances are that the majority of us don’t need any convincing, so we’ll keep this brief.   In terms of aesthetics, it’s all summarized with the age-old adage of “no pecs, no sex”. A big chest equals a v-shaped torso and that equals a confidence boost and more interest from potential partners. Women aren’t left out of the aesthetic benefits either; developing the pectorals will improve posture while also lifting the breasts. And speaking of posture, bigger pecs will encourage you to stand taller and straighter (to properly show them off), helping to ward off potential lower back problems. The pec minor is also an important part of balancing, creating stability for your shoulder blades, and helping maintain an upright position. Last but definitely not least are the strength gains. While we are mostly focusing on size gains over strength, you’ll definitely see a lot of upper body strength unlocked with the proper development of the pecs. This wi
