Everyone knows the importance of having a wide back. The back is along with other muscles, such as shoulders, one of those elements that will provide more width to the torso. There is no point having a large chest if seen from behind, our torso lacks width in part shaggy.

Basic exercises for the dorsal

It is therefore important to develop this other major muscle group. Widen the back along with good shoulders provide that aspect muscular, seen from all angles (even more if, in addition, you are the lucky ones with a narrow waist). To get a back like a barn door, back to resort again to the basic exercises in a lifetime.

Chin:

When this word is pronounced, it is rarely done this a sudden disappointment in the faces of some. Chin-ups, for many, have always been a difficult exercise to execute due to their characteristics. It’s true. But nobody said it was easy.


If it comes to bodybuilding, you have to get used to achieve goals and overcome difficulties. And the dominated will be no exception. Firstly, according to the gym, it can be fitted with a wooden staircase traditional transversely arranged in the roof, or a metal bar attached to other structures, to a certain height.


In the latter case, there are bars that are designed in the shape of the pulley that is used to make the pull behind the neck, i.e., the ends slightly sloping down to as much as possible to isolate more dorsal. It is a good option, but there is no ultimate importance.

To run successfully mastered, we’ll grab the bar with open arms “v”, with an opening or open end or closed end. The legs, bent at the knees, feet and ankles back crossed for urging us not to cheat with legs (lizard).

Coming down, as in other exercises, we will get to the end for not eliminating back strain. However, if you try to get as high as possible and at least until the chin reaches the bar line.

In principle, the weight of the body should serve. Once you run correctly, you can try adding weight attached to the waist. We have not mentioned, intentionally, dominated machines. Certainly there are, but in this case, the traditional exercise requires a greater effort, so this will be our choice.

Muscles involved:

As an exercise of force, several muscles are involved. The first of them, it is a greater extent the biceps. This, together with the dorsal, are exercised by pulling exercises (as opposed to “push” as the chest or triceps), and will not be surprising to note a slight congestion of the biceps, back when done.

Second, and for the same reason, the forearms are also heavily involved in the movement due to grip and pull toward your body, so it is engorged with confidence.

Most common errors:

The most common mistake in this exercise will be in the grip. If the arms are too closed, as in a straight line with your body suspended the work of the dorsal is nonexistent, and you will be up and down senseless.

On the other hand, a very wide grip, straight up normally prevents. In addition to the grips, of course, is not allowed to cheat. The inner drive with your legs not only beneficial, but on the contrary, can lead to back injuries due to sudden movement involved.

In conclusion, the chin is a very interesting exercise for training as the head back.Its main benefit is part of a certain muscle gain, a considerable increase in the force that will make it possible to move more kilos in the rest of back exercises.
