The Things You Need To Know About Core Back Strength in Bodybuilding
There are quite a few things that are involved in bodybuilding. However, the first thing you must do in order to achieve your goals is to gain good core strength. This lies in your abdominal muscles and your back, so this article will show you what exercises to do and what muscles to workout.
Your back and spine are the primary stabilizing muscles in your body, and the ones easiest to injure when lifting weights. From a biomechanical perspective, your back consists of the spine, the ribs, the scapula and the ligaments that string them all together, like parts of a mobile or kinetic motion structure.
Injuries to the back are almost always compression or rotation injuries ? they're damage to the soft tissue that lets your back move. Good weight lifting practices and muscle group isolation are key to avoiding back injuries, many of which won't show up for years after you've done them to yourself.
Muscle groups that you need to work on in the back are your traps, lats and deltoids, and you need to take them slowly. Yes, you can get a ripped looking back by overdoing it, but it's better to focus on practical strength increases over physical appearance and muscle building when dealing with your back.
If you go to the gym, you are more than likely to see someone there that has big muscles around their neck. These are called the trapezius muscles, and these are an iatrical part to the strength in your back. The best exercise is to take a dumbbell in both hands and shrug your shoulder up as high as they will go, and bring them down very slowly, create more resistance.
Once you workout your trapezius muscles, the next muscle is the deltoids. When you are at a gym you will see many different exercises that you can do for deltoids, either by free weights, or nautilus. One way with free weights is to take a dumbbell in your hand, with your elbow at your side, and make sure that your forearm is out level with the map. Then you simply extend your arm out until it's at shoulder height so you are able to look straight down your arm at the dumbbell.
The next muscle that's important in core back strength is your lower trapezius muscle. This is probably the easiest exercise to do, because all you need to do is to do a v-bar pull down so that you isolate the muscle thoroughly.
Building definition, and most importantly, strength, in the lower back requires shoulder arches. Hold a light dumb-bell over the back of your neck and lay down on your front. With your hands clasped, arch your back, lift, and hold for a count of three, then lower slowly. Do these sparingly; it's very easy to overdo them.
As with all muscle building exercises, it's important to do stretches and a bit of cardio before and after doing them to maintain flexibility. - 17268
