The muscles of the Back are where I see the most problems arising with respect to training.

There are many reasons as to why people tend to have a harder time with training the Back, but one of the biggest boils down to the actual biomechanics of these muscles as a whole, and what this means for a lot of the exercises we end up using.

This is a deep dive into all things “Back” Training. Specifically, we’re talking about Lats in this series – but a lot of the same biomechanical concepts apply to the entire back musculature.
