5 Top Back Exercises for Men To Build Muscular Back

#3 Barbell Row

The barbell row exercise is an important exercise to build mass in the traps and the lower lats. It also helps you in working out spinal erectors as well as the lower back.

Instructions

Step 1: Hold a barbell with a wide grip and palm facing down. Your feet should be at shoulder width apart and you should be bent at an angle of 60 degrees, arms fully extended.

Step 2: Begin the upward motion by lifting the bar and contracting your elbows. Bring the bar closer to your upper abdomen.

Step 3: Squeeze your shoulder blades intensely at the top and then lower the bar to the starting position.

Important Tips: Do 4 sets of 12 reps each. Keep a strict form (posture) and do not lower the bar in between reps.
