When starting to train, only the basic exercises should be done. For the back muscles, develop your foundation with wide grip chins or pull downs and a rowing movement. For the trapeziums, not crucial when starting, you will need shrugging exercises.
The right form
With all exercises your back should be contracted especially the lower back. It’s crucial to learn right from the start the correct form.
Always progress
As you get better, raise the difficulty bar by holding your hands behind your head and extending them in front of you. When this gets easier, hold a weight on your chest while exercising.
:: Lat pull down ::
Back and abs
Maintain a good form when doing lateral pull downs. Your back should be straight with tight abs.
A finished set
When you are done with the set, stand up, and gently lower the weight onto the stack. Don’t let the weight just crash back down.
