Back Day!!

When you get in the gym, it is common you want to hit the most showy muscles often. You hit your chest, your arms and abs. These are the front region of your upper half of the body. But if you really want a better looking and distinguishing  physique, you've got to build big and wide back.

So skipping your back day, I don't think is tiny bit close to wise.

Before we begin the workout, it is very important to learn the anatomy to get the best out of the back day. We need to learn how the muscles work, how they move and so on.





Latissimus Dorsi(Simply known as Lats):
There are two sets of lats that runs from the front side of humerus, comes down attaches to your scapula all the way to lower thoracic spine. These sets of muscles work together to assist the rotation of upper limb.

Trapezius(Simply known as traps):
You've got your upper traps that run from your skull and come down and attach your shoulder. Next is your middle traps and lies in upper middle back area. And the last one is the lower traps that runs on your lower middle back area. The upper traps elevates the scapula and rotate it during movement of arm. The middle traps work with Rhomboids and assist in retracting the scapula whereas the lower trap full the scapula inferiorly.

Rhomboids
These muscles lie underneath the middle taps. Rhomboids can be classified as Rhomboid minor and Rhomboid major.  The Rhomboids along with the traps helps in retracting and rotating scapula.
