5 Exercises for a KILLER V-TAPER BACK

Having a big back isn’t just pure aesthetics. Sure, the fact that you can catch more matches on tinder with a picture of a huge back is a nice bonus, but there’s more to it. A big, strong back helps a lot when lifting heavy things and it improves posture and body stability. Now let’s begin with the exercises that will make you develop a big, nasty looking back.

Best Exercises For A V-Taper

1. Wide-Grip Lat Pulldowns

A common classic for bodybuilders and regular bros alike, the lat pulldown. Depending on the handle you use, you can either go wide-grip or narrow-grip. This time you will be using a wide grip, as this hits your lats way more. Adjust the weight that allows you to bang out 10+ reps and start repping for those glorious lat wings of freedom.

2. Barbell Rows

Barbell rows are one of the basic exercises for a good, strong back. To add extra resistance, you can use thick grip add-ons that will make things a bit more difficult. Start with a light weight and add more only if you see you can bang out the reps without compromising form.

3. Seated Cable Rows

For this, you will use a close-grip extension. Sit down on the seat with your legs extended with a little flexion in the knees and keep your back straight. Now start pulling with your arms and try not to use your arms too much, put an emphasis on pulling with your back.

4. Wide Grip Pull-Ups

This should be self-explanatory because pull-ups are so damn basic and yet so damn effective. Grab a pull-up bar with a wide grip and start pulling yourself up and do that until failure. The best way to use pull-ups in a workout routine is in a superset format with another exercise.

5. Face Pulls

Don’t worry, actual face pulling won’t be necessary here. But what will be necessary is being a badass with a huge back! Stand in front of a cable pulley and pull the rope towards your face with your elbows spread out. This will hit your lower traps and strengthen them. This exercise also targets your rear delts and mid-upper back and thus helps add that contouring to your hind side.

But well, as a gym bro, it's all about the gains, right? Yes, I know how it goes. So, DOES SPRINTING HELP YOU GAIN MUSCLE? Here's the deal.

M.M.C.: A BODYBUILDING SECRET!

Before I get into the topic for this article, let’s take a look at what M.M.C can do for you: Improving M.M.C. can increase the number of muscle fibers recruited while performing a certain exercise. Improving M.M.C. helps in almost completely isolating a primary target muscle groups in most exercises. All in all, it helps you make the most out of every workout and progress like never before. So, what is M.M.C.? M.M.C. stands for ‘Mind-Muscle Connection’. If you didn’t already know, your brain is responsible for coordinating all muscular movement in the body via the release of certain neurotransmitters. This takes place in the ‘neuromuscular junction’- where the mind meets the body. “How does it help me make better gains,” you might ask. The more you improve this ‘conversation’ between your mind and your muscle, the better you will recruit muscle fibers while performing an exercise. Every muscle group is made up of several muscle heads and various muscle fiber
