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.

[SHREDZ 4 SUMMER] 10 Tips to help you BURN FAT & GET SHREDDED this Summer

Temperatures are rising and the beach looks more welcoming than ever, which means your clothes are going to be coming off! Are you looking your best? Here are 10 tips for you to burn fat faster and get that beach bod rockin’! 1. Caloric Deficit : The basic principle of losing weight, is to consume lesser calories than your body requires, AKA being in a ‘caloric deficit’. The way this works is when your body has lesser calories than that required for energy homeostasis, it responds by decreasing the body’s mass. When you consume less than what you require, your body is forced to tap into its existing stored energy- mostly stored body fat- to function. Remember to keep your protein intake sufficient enough to prevent any muscle loss and as a rule of thumb, don’t go in a deficit of more than 200-500 calories below maintenance. 2. Increased Meal Frequency: Some real talk- how frequently you ...
