BACK

The back is often ignored in strength training. Part of the reason is because when you look in the mirror, you can't see it, so why work it? However, back training is essential as it adds greatly to your overall upper body stability.

Strict form is vital when training any body part, however, it is especially so with back exercises. The back must be kept straight and the shoulders back. Dropping the shoulders and rounding your back invites injury.

Fluid and controlled motions should be used throughout as well. For complete back development, choosing a mix between front-to-back and top-to-bottom exercises should be incorporated.
