Back Exercises

How it supports your chest exercises
You cannot build a good chest without building your back. Every muscle group in your body has an opposite set of muscles that need to be trained. When training your chest you also work your triceps and front of shoulders. The opposing muscle groups are back and biceps, back of shoulders.

One indirect way to increase the appearance of your chest is to work your back. Back exercises will give you a wider appearance as they pull back your shoulders and improve posture.
This is also especially true for women wanting to increase their chest area with exercises. By following a back workout, you will strengthen the muscles that give you good posture and support, you will develop width in the upper back area that will give your chest a stronger and enhanced appearance.

What would happen if you only worked your chest muscles?
You will see this quite often, especially with guys. The chest is an area that gets a lot of work, mostly because it is what you can see in front of you. Many people will often work the muscles they can see in front of them. You can see quite muscular men with developed pecs who have rounded shoulders. They walk around with their shoulders hunched. This is caused by working the chest muscles without working the back muscles. Long term this will cause injury.

The Best Exercises for your back
The best exercises for your back are pull ups, chin ups and different types of rows. Pull ups require a fair bit of strength. Most gyms have assisted weights machines that will take some of your weight off to make the exercises easier.Here are some exercise to include in your back workouts.
1. Lat Pull down2. Bentover Rows3. Chin ups4. Pull ups5. Cable Rows6. Reverse Flyes

When it comes to workout splits, I often follow
Chest/Back
Shoulders/Arms
Legs

As a general rule, keep in mind that pec workouts require pushing movements, while back workouts require pulling movements.
