Tips and exercises for a strong back
The unique challenge of back training most responsible for so many underdeveloped back muscles is the inability to see the muscles being trained. Therefore success in developing the back is completely related to how strong of a mind to muscle link you can develop.
Make sure your back is in its strongest position that is least prone to injury. This position is the same position you use when lifting a heavy box off the ground! Do not hunch forward or bend your back too far to the rear! Keep your back straight, your chest sticking out and your shoulders pressed back.
During your daily routines practicing moving your shoulder blades will help to perfect this movement.
