Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, these exercises will help you achieve your fitness goals. The Top 10 Back-Building Moves from BJ Gaddour, former Men's Health fitness director and MetaShred creator! In college, I could bench press close to 400-pounds but I couldn’t even do a single bodyweight pullup. Bad! Sad! Yes, I was that meathead cliche who didn’t do enough pulling to balance out my pushing. As a result, I had terrible back development (specifically the lats), poor posture, and unwanted shoulder injuries. To fully develop your back, you need a healthy mix of rowing and pullup/pulldown variations in multiple planes of motion (and even some isolated shoulder extension). Some experts recommend doing twice as much pulling as pushing and doing twice as many sets of rows as pullups. But at the very least, please make sure you’re at least doing a set of pulls/rows for every set of pushes/presses. Though there are certainly other options, these are my 10 favorite back-building moves. They have been key in helping me bring balance back to my upper body. 1. Dumbbell Hammer-Grip Chest-Supported Rows 2. Banded 1-Arm Dumbbell Row 3. Hammer-Grip Pullups 4. Tall-Kneeling Lat Pulldowns 5. Self-Assisted Wide-Grip Pullups 6. Wide-Grip Inverted Rows 7. Banded Landmine 1-Arm Rows 8. Banded Ab Wheel Rollouts 9. Band/Cable Crossover Straight-Arm Lat Pulldowns 10. 1-Arm Split Stance Flywheel Rows Honorable mentions include dumbbell lying pullovers (I prefer banded ab wheel rollouts), hip-hinges, and farmer’s walks. Like any muscle group, the key to max gainz is using a healthy mix of low, medium, and high reps to properly develop the complete spectrum of muscle fibers. 00:00 INTRO 00:40 DB Chest-Supported Row 01:41 Banded 1-Arm DB Row 02:44 Hammer-Grip Pullup 03:55 Tall-Kneeling Lat Pulldowns 05:08 Self-Assisted Wide-Grip Pullups 06:11 Inverted Row 07:49 Landmine 1-Arm Row 09:09 Banded Ab Wheel Rollouts 10:19 Crossover Straight-Arm Lat Pulls 11:22 Flywheel 1-Arm Row #homeworkout #backworkout #backday #fitness
