Back Training on Exercise Machines

If you want to have a big figure, don't forget to strengthen your back muscles.

1. Lat Pulldown

Target Muscles: Latissimus dorsi, trapezius, biceps

  • Sit on the machine and adjust the supports.
  • Grip the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width.
  • Pull the bar towards the upper part of your chest.
  • Slowly return to the starting position.
  • Repeat 8–12 times for 3–4 sets.

2. Seated Row Machine

Target Muscles: Middle back, trapezius, rear delts

  • Sit down and brace your feet.
  • Grip the handles with a neutral or wide grip.
  • Pull the handles towards your chest.
  • Slowly return to the starting position.
  • Repeat 10–12 times for 3 sets.

3. Back Extension Machine

Target Muscles: Erector spinae, lower back

  • Sit down and secure your legs under the supports.
  • Lean against the padded roller.
  • Bend forward and then return to an upright position.

Tips for Effective Training

  • Do not overarch your lower back; keep your core engaged.
  • Focus on your shoulder blades – pull them together.
  • Breathe correctly – exhale on the pull, inhale on the return.
  • Start with a lighter weight; technique is more important.
