Looking to build a bigger, stronger back? This back workout for mass is one of the best places to start. The width of your upper torso is largely determined by the size of your lats. Many think it’s the chest – but your back is what gives you the hourglass shape. In order to build the back, you need a great workout designed specifically to build strength and mass in the lats by emphasizing pulling motions at a variety of angles.
A common mistake among amateur exercisers is to use the arms to pull instead of the back. Squeeze the shoulder blades together as if you’re trying to crack an egg between your lats, and focus on using the back to move the weight. Focus on technique over weight when performing a back workout. A few weeks of conscious effort doing this and your back workouts will all become twice as effective.
