Back exercises

[cuvermodel]

For anyone looking to get some new muscle in their back check out these articles and I applied some anatomy to exercises that work the back so you know what muscles your working.

Bent row (wide grip works back more): Lats, traps, rhomboids, teres minor/major, infraspinatus, posterior deltoid.

Lat pulldowns (front): Teres major, lats. Especially the center part of the lats.

Pullup: Traps (inferior), rhomboids, teres major, lats.

Chinup: lats, teres major, to a lesser extent traps and rhomboids

Cable rows: traps, rhomboids, teres major, erector spinae, posterior deltoid.

barbell shrugs: traps, secondary emphasis on deltoids.

My favorites are snatch cuban press and rope cable rows to neck. I would do teh rope rows in standing position though, or perhaps in squatting position to achieve more inner unit control. By the way, Does Charles Poliquin has an article about how to perform proper bend-over row?

Thanks
