A virtual show of hands, please….How many people want a great looking back? <hands down now.> Then, why are you training your chest at least twice as much?
From traditional chest building exercises like the bench press, chest flys to the prone pushup and planks – we’re all spending way to much time face down. Posture is suffering thanks to our leaning forward to do everyday tasks like computer work and folding of laundry.
For the next 3 weeks work your back twice as much as you work your chest. Make sure to focus on these solid back exercises:
1. Pullup. If you need to modify it start with using a chair to stand on and make the work be the ‘negative’ portion of the exercise (when you are bearing the weight).
2. Heavy Rope pulls
3. Bent-over Rows
Best of Energy!
