Most of the questions that arise in the minds of millions of people starting to train the muscles of the back of the torso in the gym come down to how to choose the right exercise. The broad muscle of the back is its largest part. That is why this muscle must be used in the first place. Among the most popular exercises for this area of musculature, it is recommended to perform pull-ups on the crossbar in all sorts of options, tilt bar rods, various vertical and horizontal rods. Subject to the appropriate conditions during training, a good pumping of the latissimus dorsi will be provided to any novice athlete.
No matter how large and voluminous this area of muscle is, at once all the above exercises cannot be included in one lesson. A beginner in this matter will not need to use such a large training volume, and an experienced athlete is best to divide the training of this area of the body into two parts. In any case, everyone involved in the hall should know how to choose an exercise in accordance with their goal. The broad muscle of the back during any of the above movements generates at least half the power. Therefore, any exercise will work it out. However, to one degree or another, a person is able to shift the load to the desired area.
For example, in pull-ups, it is possible to work out both the external parts of the latissimus muscle and its central areas, depending on the grip and the style of its execution. What should be avoided by an athlete of any level is excessive loads. Despite the fact that this area is one of the largest, it should be developed gradually and evenly, applying a small burden to begin with. Beginners also often have a question about whether it is possible to work out the latissimus dorsi muscles outside the gym . Exercises (at home, on the street or in a specialized room) for this section of the back are not divided depending on where they are performed.
The main thing that is necessary for their training is the necessary equipment and knowledge. For homework, it is enough to have a wide horizontal bar and a bar. The first one is also very often found in the courtyard of your house, and if not, it can be easily made from improvised means or bought. What direction should the first exercise be? The broad back muscle is unique in that it does not require a special approach. For example, if in leg training it is first desirable to perform a vertical load, that is, squats, lunges or deadlifts, and then horizontal (flexion, extension, etc.), then in this area it does not matter whether pulling up and then pulling are performed in a slope, or vice versa.
However, in any case, you must perform the basic exercise at the beginning of the lesson . The broad back muscle is capable of generating incredible power, if you approach its training correctly. One of the main parts of the latter is the obligatory warm-up, which will provide a good warm-up and fill the tissues with oxygen and nutrients necessary for full functioning.
