When it comes to adding muscle to your back often times you'll hear people glorifying a certain exercise, saying some sh*t like you "must" do a certain exercise in order to have any chance at building your lats. A lot of people think it's deadlifts, and some people think it's pull ups. A big problem in the fitness industry is that there seems to be a trend of "demonising" as well as "glorifying" certain things when it comes to both nutrition and training. SH*T AIN'T THAT SERIOUS. Here are my ❗️3 TIPS TO BUILDING A SOLID BACK❗️.
-
✅ Make sure that you're incorporating a combination of both vertical (for width) and horizontal (for thickness) movements.
✅ Make sure you have a good mind-muscle connection. As your back is one of the bigger muscles on your body it's very easy for other muscles to take over, especially when you're trying to lift heavy. Don't be afraid to use lifting straps!
✅ ALWAYS CHOOSE SLOW/SQUEEZE OVER HEAVY/BEASTMODE. You will always hear people telling you that you have to go really heavy for back if you want to build thickness. I've personally found this NOT to be true. From my experience, utilising a slow/squeeze rep tempo will not only allow you to put on more muscle mass but will also keep your chance of injury a hell of a lot lower. Tell that ego to GTFO 😉.
