Feel Your Back Muscles Working
While working out your back may be more fun than leg day, it stinks that you can’t see your back working while you’re doing lat pulldowns, rows, etc. The lack of visual [being able to see your back muscles contracting] can lead to a disconnect between your mind and body that you may not experience during other workouts like chest muscles, triceps, and biceps.
A good back exercise that pumps up the lat muscles and builds some great strength is the incline bench row. To do this exercise, you set a bench to a 45 degree angle. Grab a pair of dumbbells with the palms of your hands facing the sides of your body and rest your chest against the bench. Now, pinch your shoulder blades together and row the weights to the outside area of your chest.
