Though we're all after that V-shape, the spinal erectors are really the support base for the entire posterior core. For that reason, for the next 4 weeks we're not just going to row. We're going to get a good balance of strength and hypertrophy-based movements

It also strengthens the middle back, deltoids (shoulders), biceps and forearms as secondary muscle groups. Exercise Instructions: Position yourself on a lat pulldown machine and grab the bar securely using an overhand grip with your hands a little wider than shoulder width on the bar.

You engage more muscle fibers with single-arm than double-arm exercises, so you can lift heavier weights and make greater strength gains. Additionally, single-arm exercises prevent
If you have large arms that are not in proportion to your shoulders and traps, then you need to focus on trapezius training. Trapezius training is not the easiest to do, but well developed traps are essential for a well defined physique. The Trapezius muscle is one of the largest muscles on the back. Due to this, it is important
