I want you to answer a question for me, and I want you to answer it truthfully. Do you spend nearly as much time working your back as you do your chest? If you're like most men, the answer is probably no. But I'm here to change that.
Sculpting a bigger back comes with a long list of benefits. For one, you'll stand taller. Training your back targets common weak spots that lead to poor posture. Say goodbye to your caveman hunch.
And doign back exercises helps you bench press more weight. The muscles in your upper- and mid-back help stabilize your shoulder joints. The stronger and more stable your shoulders, the more weight you can lift in just about every upper-body exercise.
Your arms will grow bigger, too. The reason: Back exercises are also great for targeting your arm muscles. So whenever you bend your elbows to lift a weight—during a row or a pullup, for instance—you're training your biceps.
You'll also rev your metabolism when you concentrate on your back. That's because your posterior chain contains big muscle groups. And the more muscles you train, the more calories you burn.
And, finally, my favorite reason: Ladies love men with V-shaped torsos. Studies have shown that women are most drawn to muscular men whose shoulders measure 1.6 times the size of their waist. The only way to chisel a ripped torso that's wide on top and narrow at the bottom is to do back exercises.
Now are you ready to work your back more? Get started with some of my favorite exercises that work your entire back. (If you're carrying extra weight, check out the Lose Your Spare Tire Program. It can help you lose 20, 30, even 50 pounds. Use the promo code MHREADER1 to save 50% on your purchase!)
