How would you define your back training? If you've been pushing the weights for a while, you've probably discovered that certain bodyparts are rather stubborn. (How about a show of hands for those who want trade-ins on their calves?) Surprisingly, the back usually falls in this category for many people, but rarely does it get the full attention it deserves.
To the discerning eye, your back can either close the deal or seal your fate when it comes to having the total package. Think about it: without flaring lats, you can't achieve the desired V-shape. Your back also supports much of training, providing the strong stabilisation required for all types of shoulder, chest and arm movements.

Your back also supports much of training, providing the strong stabilisation required for all types of shoulder, chest and arm movements.
Yet the back isn't an easy thing to prod, requiring a consistent, multi-pronged approach to hit the various areas, from the erectors in your lower back to your mid-back muscles and outer lats. They all need to be addressed if you want that full-blown, complete package of dense, symmetrical, inter-twining fibre.
Whether you're a determined beginner who's eager to develop solid training habits or a weathered veteran looking to get your back on track, you probably have numerous questions on this sometimes enigmatic muscle group. Should I do behind-neck pull-downs? Should I concentrate on barbell or dumbbell rows? Is there really a difference wide- and narrow-grip rowing movements? Read on for the complete story.

👉 Q: Should a beginner use pulling straps during back training?
👉 Q: Because the back contains so many muscle groups, what's the best way to warm it up?
👉 Q: I've heard that when doing the pulldown, either as a warm-up or as a standard set, I shouldn't go behind the neck. Is this true?
👉 Q: I really like seated rows, but what difference does it make if I use a wide or narrow grip?
👉 Q: Since the back is such a large bodypart, does it make sense to train it separately or should I pair it with another body part?
👉 Q: When doing bent-over movements, are barbell rows a better choice than dumbbell rows?
