Anyone that’s ever struggled to find a bench on a Monday at the gym will tell you that everyone loves chest day. Chest, abs and biceps seem to form the entirety of many people’s work with weights, but the value of a big, strong back is hard to underestimate. Here we’ll look at several of the best back exercises for mass and explain how you can optimise your back training.
Nothing says ‘strong’ quite like a well-developed back and a V-shaped torso always looks awesome, but there’s more benefits to a strong back than simply looking big. It can improve your posture, keep your core compact and it’s hugely important for muscular balance.
By overtraining your ‘front’ (pecs, abs, front delts) you can cause issues with posture, causing you to hunch forward and leave you with a rounded back. Balancing out this training with proper back training can help correct this, and help align your body in the optimal position.
The other benefit of developing a strong back is that most of it is functional strength that you’ll be able to take advantage of regularly. You’ll probably find yourself using your back to lift things far more often that you’d be pushing things away, so a strong back is more useful than strong pecs.
Another benefit of building muscle mass on your back is the sheer amount of muscle you can actually put on your frame there. More muscle means more calories burned at rest, making things like weight maintenance fair easier.
