5 Super Effective Back Workouts for Men

#4 Pull-Up

With its simple motion, pull-ups are great for both beginners and experienced professionals. Pull-ups improve the functioning of traps, rhomboids, and the lats while also improving the arms, shoulders, and abs.

In addition, multiple variations of the pull-ups could be performed to stimulate various muscles of the upper body.

Instructions:

Step 1: Grab the pull-up bar with palms facing away from the body. Have a wide grip if you intend to target the lats with greater intensity.

Step 2: Pull yourself upwards until the chin is above the pull-up bar. Take care to keep the torso stationary while performing the exercise.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions. Do not let your feet touch the floor until you finish all the reps.

Important tips: You could even perform pull-ups using a weighted vest for added resistance and improved customizability. Train with an assisted pull-up machine if you are finding it difficult.
