The body is very adaptive and if you continually do the same exercises week after week, your progress will most likely slow, not too mention possibly make you bored during your workouts.

Below is a video of a back exercise that Ryan is demonstrating in the Nutri-Sport training studio that you can incorporate into your back training. This exercise is a nice switch up as it allows both arms to move independently (like in a one arm dumbbell row) but you still do both arms simultaneously, which saves on time.  Being a free weight exercise, it requires core stabilization as well.

Make sure you keep an arch in your lower back, keep your chest up and maintain good form. Really focus on the squeeze and stretch of the back muscles (mainly the lats).

In this video, Ryan Irwin demonstrates this exercise:

Why? Mainly because it’s on your back and you can’t see it! One tip I like to use is “pull with your elbows” which helps clients to think of their arms as hooks and focus on contracting the back.

One of my favorite exercises is pull ups, but for many, this is a very difficult exercise to complete. A variation is what I call a “rack chin”. It’s great for lat development, plus it allows those who might not be able to get many pull ups to do more. This is why some will want to add weight to their lap for extra resistance.  Make sure you can get a full stretch and really squeeze the lats at the top.
