We always need a lot of movements when training back muscles, but many people will gradually ignore self-weight training when they start to use equipment to keep fit. This is a problem that many bodybuilders will encounter when they go to the gym. It seems that self-weight training is unnecessary, and when they exercise their back muscles, they often rely entirely on equipment training.

So should I use pull-ups to exercise my back muscles? Many people have their own ideas that pull-ups should not be used in back muscle training, but what we want to say here is that if you have the ability to complete more than ten pull-ups, it is very necessary for you to increase pull-ups in training.

When we choose back muscle exercise, we will choose many movements, among which rowing is the most common movement. The most common movements are sitting rowing and barbell bending rowing, but we must know that we have never done any movements and no training plan is perfect.

Nowadays, many people stick to the same training plan and the same training action for a long time, so their bodies will have obvious defects, especially our back muscles, which are muscles with many muscles. If you want to exercise well, you often need more time and more complicated training plans.

First, pull-ups can make up for the lack of the lower back. Many people will use barbells or dumbbells to row and paddle with the most common equipment when exercising their back muscles, but as far as the function of latissimus dorsi is concerned, we often lack exercise for our lower back when rowing.

The growth lines of our latissimus dorsi cause the upper part of latissimus dorsi to be the main stress part when we row, because the growth direction of muscle fibers in the upper part is closer to the horizontal direction, which is more suitable for stretching our shoulder joints. This action is rowing.

When we do pull-ups, our dorsal muscle fibers tend to contract the upper and lower structures, which is the action of adduction of our shoulder joint, so when we do pull-ups or high-level pull-downs, we can exercise the lower part of latissimus dorsi well and make our latissimus dorsi more complete.

Second, pull-ups enhance core stability. If you are a street fitness enthusiast, you will certainly agree with this view, because many people's street fitness movements themselves start from pull-ups, such as double-arm movements, which require very good physical coordination and core stability.

When pull-ups, our abdominal muscles and back muscles will tighten, which is very helpful for our core stability. Long-term pull-ups can not only make our back muscles get good exercise, but also enhance our core ability, which plays a great role in various sports.

Secondly, when we are doing various strength training movements, we will also be exposed to many movements. Some movements, such as squats, require strong core abilities. At this time, insisting on pull-ups is a good process of laying the foundation.
