The professional gives tips for doing a good back workout.
A balanced exercise routine is essential for overall health and well-being, and this includes all muscle groups.
Not only does back training contribute to a more defined, athletic appearance, it also plays a key role in posture, preventing injuries, and supporting spinal health.
By incorporating back-specific exercises, women not only strengthen and strengthen these muscles, but also promote a slimmer, more defined appearance.
Angela Borges, Bachelor of Physical Education, who specializes in advanced training for women, highlighted some tips for back training for women, in Max Titanium Blog.
Do back exercises make women manly?
It's a myth. Angela's first piece of advice regarding back training for women is the myth that has arisen around the masculinity of women who regularly train their backs and upper extremities.
“Most women do not have high enough testosterone levels to promote significant muscle hypertrophy,” explains professional Angela Borges. At least not, like men, who have much higher levels of testosterone.
Instead, back training can help strengthen and sculpt your muscles, creating a more defined, sleek appearance.
Additionally, by strengthening the back muscles, women can experience better posture, which not only contributes to a more confident appearance, but also reduces the risk of back pain in the future.
Paying attention to movements in training
The second very important piece of advice that can be extracted from the professional's text is the warning about the importance of paying attention to movements during back exercises.
It is necessary to stretch your back well in pull-ups and think about the muscle that is being worked out at the moment, which in this case is the back muscles and the entire back muscles.
This is because the arm muscles also work involuntarily. “Remember, the more neuromuscular control you have, the more you use your back muscles and the less you activate your arm muscles.”
This not only increases the benefits of exercise, but also reduces the risk of injury.
When performing pulling movements such as pull-ups or lat pulldowns, focus on contracting your back muscles while fully extending your arms.
