The Best Way To Develop A Wide, Muscular Back

By Ricardo d Argence

For most aspiring lifters, it's all about building a huge chest and arms. Week after week they slave away on endless sets of bench presses and barbell curls in search of the rippling muscle gains they want so badly. Not surprisingly, those gains never appear in any significant form.

A lot of guys in the gym neglect a really important group of muscles, Back. They maybe do that because it's a muscle you will hardly see it in the mirror or maybe because it's a more stressful training. Maybe just because the most of them don't even know how important is to have a wide, muscular back.

If you really want to look huge, you better start working out your back with the best program. There's nothing like a well developed back to get that look and that's because 70% of your upper body muscle mass resides in the back area.

If you want to succeed and have a wide back, just follow these simple steps.

1) Deadlifts. The deadlift will work you from finger to neck to toe and is irreplaceable in developing strong, thick back muscles. The deadlift will stimulate growth throughout the entire back complex and should be the cornerstone of your routine.

2) Vertical pulling movement. To get the most bang for your buck I recommend a basic overhand chin-up. This is the bread and butter of vertical pulling movements and will stimulate growth in the lats like no other exercise. Examples: v-bar pulldowns, chin-ups, lat pulldowns, etc.

3) A horizontal pulling movement. Otherwise referred to as "rows", horizontal pulling movements place their emphasis on the upper/middle portion of the back and also stimulate the lats.

4) A shrugging movement. It may not be the most important part of the routine, but it also plays an important role to succeed. A basic barbell or dumbbell shrug will be enough for this part.

So, all you have to do is to perform 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps of every single exercise i mentioned before. That will do the job.

Make sure to keep a written record of every workout that you perform, and focus each week on increasing either the weight that you lift or the number of reps that you perform within the given rep range.

If you want more routines for another parts of your body, don't worry, I will write about them in future articles. Or, you can visit my website. There, you will find a lot of articles and information about muscle building and the most effective ways to train your body. - 17273
