Having a pack of ripped abs and a decorated chest has been a cool trend now a days, and why it shouldn’t be? It is the part which adds charm to our personality, but we are so adamant towards it that we sometimes ignore our important back area.

We at Sportskeeda are determined to prevent our audience from avoiding such vital workout. So, this section will totally revolve around the back muscle workout tips and their anatomy.

It is very important to understand what are major reasons to not to ignore back workout. So, the most important aspect is improving your posture. As your weak, once-ignored muscles grow, so your desk-hunch will be less pronounced when you're away from the office.

Back also plays a large role in boosting strength for other lifts you might not expect, like the bench press. They stabilize the shoulder joints by the help of the muscles in your upper and mid-back. It also helps in targeting your arm area as you require to use your arms for pulls and rows.

Next, we must understand the basic anatomy. Actually, the “back” is a group of 3 main muscles and several smaller ones. The 3 main muscles are-

1. The Trapezius - muscle located near the top of the back which helps with neck and shoulder blade movement.

2. LatissimusDorsi - the largest muscle in the body that is located near the sides of the back. The "lats" are used for pulling the shoulders downward and toward the back.

3. The Rhomboids - located in the centre of the back and are used to squeeze the shoulder blades together.

Have you ever wondered what exercises can truly help us in building a strong, healthy and broadback. If yes, you don’t need to wonder anymore.
