9 effective back training exercises

　　Many people focus on exercising the muscles of the arms, chest, buttocks, and legs in the gym, but often ignore the back, which also has an important visual impact on body shape.

　　Because we cannot see the back in the mirror, we usually ignore this muscle. In fact, a stronger back can bring beautiful lines and contours to create an ideal physique.

　　Not only that, in addition to the pleasant back line, think about how many young people suffer from cervical spondylosis due to prolonged sitting.

　　Strong back muscles are also necessary for maintaining good health and correct posture. For people who want to exercise other upper limb muscles, a strong back can provide an ideal foundation for compound weightlifting.

　　In today’s article, we have compiled a series of the most effective exercises to help you reach the V shape. More importantly, it doesn’t matter where you live. These actions can be done in your own home.
