Men gain muscle faster, so it is very good for men to have a standard equilateral inverted triangle figure, while women's requirements are a little looser, so they can exercise a figure with wide shoulders and thin waist and feel a little inverted triangle. This figure is very nice.
Exercising latissimus dorsi can make our figure very good, but it is very difficult to exercise back muscles, because there are too many muscles in our back, which are not as simple as chest muscles.
Our chest muscles are only pectoralis major and pectoralis minor, while our back muscles are very fast, including rotator cuff, trapezius and latissimus dorsi, as well as various deep muscles. Numbers are very versatile and complicated.
When we exercise latissimus dorsi, we need to avoid the exertion of other muscles in the back and use our latissimus dorsi in isolation. This is very difficult. You need to master certain skills, avoid other muscles and exercise the latissimus dorsi.
First, pay attention to pull-ups when exercising latissimus dorsi. When exercising back muscles, we can choose many movements, among which rowing and pull-ups are the most important.
Rowing sports include sitting rowing and barbell bending rowing. , and pull-up and high-level pull-down. These two kinds of exercises use different functions of back muscles in exercise.
What we do when rowing is to stretch our shoulders, and when we pull down from a height, we do shoulder adduction, so the exercise method for back muscles is definitely different, so the advantages of action are also different.
When rowing, our back muscles will make a downward movement of the shoulder blades. When rowing, our back muscles will exert great force on the upper body, but the strength of latissimus dorsi is not enough.
Many of our back muscles are on the scapula, so if we can reduce the movement of the scapula, we can increase the force of the latissimus dorsi and let the latissimus dorsi get more full exercise. Pull-ups are a good action.
Second, learn to control the scapula. When we do pull-ups, the biggest advantage is that we can't completely contract the scapula. What we do is the internal rotation of the scapula. At this time, we can make better use of the function of our latissimus dorsi.
Unlike when we row a boat, our scapula movement track is actually more rotator cuff muscles and trapezius muscles.
When we do latissimus dorsi exercises, we need to avoid the exertion of other muscles, so controlling the scapula is a very important skill. For example, when we are rowing, our shoulder blades contract and tighten, and at this time our latissimus dorsi muscles will be forced to exert more force.
