1. Don't Do Lower-Back Exercises Early In the Workout
In
any free-weight back exercise where you're pulling some pretty heavy
weight it's super important that you stay in your natural spine
curvature, rather than rounding it out during the rep.
The reason
you don't want a rounded spine is because that makes you more
susceptible to a disc injury which can seriously hold you back as a
weightlifter.
Your lower back muscles play a large part in helping
to keep your back straight so you definitely don't want them tired when
you hit that heavy weight. Hit your lower back exercises last in your
back routine.
2. Don't Be Tempted To Look Up In The Mirror!
Okay
okay we all love checking ourselves out in the mirror but avoid this
temptation when doing exercises where you're bent over. During these
exercises there is pressure pulling on your shoulders, lats and right
into your spinal column, so if your neck is out of position this creates
a new opportunity for disc damage.
But don't worry, just remember
to keep your head aligned in the same direction as your torso during
any rowing movement. This means if your body is bent over at 45 degrees,
then your head should be at 45 degrees too. Don't look up!
3. ALWAYS Back Before Biceps
I
bet you've felt before that you workout your biceps naturally when you
train back. This is because biceps are a primary mover during back
exercises, so you want the fresh to lift the heavy weight your using for
back.
It's going to be hard to do an effective back workout if your arms are giving out before your back does.
Do
you what you got to do for back then go crazy on biceps afterward -
this way you won't let you're own fatigue limit your back growth.
4. Don't Forget They Invented Straps For A Reason
While it is true that straps could reduce grip and forearm strength over time, this doesn't mean you shouldn't use them at all!
Most of the time your grip will give out before your lats do and that costs you and extra rep or two.
