In our training plan, we usually include all the big muscle groups of the body. Today's article is about the training of latissimus dorsi. A good bodybuilder doesn't have to have much strength. Perhaps the strength of his bench press is not surprisingly great, and the strength of his squat is not particularly exaggerated, but it must be particularly coordinated and look beautiful as a whole, not a muscle monster with a few big muscles but no aesthetic feeling!

So we must pay attention to back training when arranging the cycle training plan! No matter whether your training plan is a three-day cycle or a five-day cycle, you must take a day off alone to exercise your back muscles! Because the back muscle group exercise is directly related to the overall beauty of your left back exercise!

First, why should we emphasize the importance of back muscle groups?

We always meet such people in the gym. He doesn't know how to exercise, so he only exercises abdominal muscles or pectoralis major muscles at a time, and occasionally does squats to exercise leg muscles. But after a long exercise, you will find that his progress is extremely slow, and even the pectoralis major will become smaller!

In fact, it's not that the pectoralis major is getting smaller, but because he often exercises the pectoralis major. The pectoralis major is too strong! When his pectoralis major is too strong but does not start to strengthen the opposite muscle of pectoralis major, that is, the back muscle to be talked about today, his pectoralis major will be classified as a state of long-term contraction. In this state, you can associate two rubber bands together. Is it true that the more elastic the rubber band is, the shorter it will be!

So intuitively our pectoralis major seems to be getting smaller and smaller! And his body is getting more and more camel, and at the same time he will have round shoulders! Therefore, whether for the sake of beauty or for our training to have a better effect, back training plan is essential!

If you have a hunchback with round shoulders, you can try to strengthen the latissimus dorsi and trapezius, especially the middle and lower bundles of trapezius, and at the same time stretch and relax the pectoralis major, so that your back will slowly straighten up and the pectoralis major will look bigger and bigger!

Second, what are the benefits of having good back muscles?

For a bodybuilder, it is very important to exercise pectoralis major, but in general, the strength of a person's back muscles, especially latissimus dorsi, is extremely important. Real fitness experts will pay great attention to the training of latissimus dorsi, not just to show off the abdominal muscles or pectoralis major muscles.

Compared with bodybuilders, it is not difficult to find that real masters can see their latissimus dorsi from the front, just behind the pectoralis major, that place in little wings. Moreover, such people seem to have a thin waist and a very large upper body. It's not that his waist is thin, but that his back is too wide. Seen from the back, it is a standard inverted triangle, so it looks like his waist is very thin.

When a person's latissimus dorsi is trained, what changes will happen intuitively? First of all, the lines of his abdominal oblique muscles will look more three-dimensional and the pectoralis major muscles will be fuller. Secondly, the back muscles are stronger. A strong erector spinae can make people have stronger athletic ability and make muscles play a greater role in sports, instead of being considered useless by others!
