muscles in the gym. Here we will give you 5 movements to train your back muscles for the
following movements:
1. Lat pulldown
Lat pulldown is a movement that uses a tool called a lat pulldown machine. This
movement helps us to train the latissimus dorsi muscles.
Here are the steps you can follow to perform the lat pulldown correctly:
1. Starting Position
• Sit on the bench of a lat pulldown machine with your thighs under the thigh support
pads.
• Hold the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing forward) slightly wider than
shoulder width.
• Make sure your back is straight and your chest is stretched forward.
2. Pull Bar
• Pull the bar down toward the top of your chest by moving your elbows down and
back.
• Keep your body stable and avoid using momentum to pull the bar.
• Focus the movement on your back muscles by ensuring that your elbows stay close to
your body as you pull the bar down.
3. Hold and Contract
• Hold the position below for one second while feeling the contraction in your back
muscles.
4. Return to Starting Position
• Slowly release the bar back to the starting position by controlling the movement so
that the muscles remain actively working.
• Make sure not to fully lock your elbows when the bar is in its highest position.
5. Repetition
• Repeat the movement according to the number of repetitions you planned.
Pull Up Movement
Pull-ups are movements done by hanging and lifting the body on a support, such as a pull-up bar
or high bar.
2.Pull your body up until your chin is slightly above the bar.
3.Lower your body until your arms are almost completely straight.
5.As the muscles get stronger, increase the number of repetitions according to ability.
To target the trapezius (the muscle between the neck and shoulders),you can do a very simple
dumbbell exercise.
