When starting out, you must understand that your back is actually made up of several smaller muscle groups.Each group of muscles has specific types of exercises that work them out the best.
One effective exercises that works out your mid and lower back is the dead lift.I’d recommend using dumbbells or a barbell with weights on either end to perform the dead lift.It is essential you use proper technique when doing deadlifts so you don’t hurt yourself.
To get a more broad brack, using a rowing machine to develop your lats is a good choice.Just take a look at competitive rowers, have you seen how ripped their backs are?The tension that is exerted on the latissimus dorsi muscles when rowing is immense.Even just 1/2 an hour every other day on a rowing machine will do wonders for your back.
When you are ready to tone your upper back, I recommend doing pull ups.If you are working out at home, I’d recommend buying one of those chin up bars that fits in a door frame, they’re cheap and work well.I always do pull ups to failure on every set.
No matter what exercises you choose to do, always remember the importance of starting out slowly and building up the reps over a matter of weeks.And to increase the muscle mass, be sure to give your muscles several days rest inbetween workouts.Don’t think it is good to train every day, that will actually hurt your overall progress.
It is also good to try to vary the exercises done each session.Lastly, make sure you are warming up so you don’t pull any muscle.Before you start, do some stretching exercises to make sure your muscles are warm and ready to get worked hard.

I started using a set of regular adjustable dumbbells. I found that switching the weight took way too long. I don’t have the space for a set of fixed weight dumbbells, so I invested in a set of Powerblock quick adjustable dumbbells that go from 5 to 50 pounds. They are more than enough for most exercises. For back exercises such as lawnmowers and heavy pants, I still use my regular adjustable dumbbells since I can lift more than 50 pounds.
I do back and biceps on different days…do you think this is overworking my biceps because most back exercises also work your biceps? how often should you do biceps?
ditto. I’m 5’5 and he’s 6’1, I love cuddling up and falling asleep against his big strong back.

1. Ergonomic desk setup. Chair, armrests, monitor all at the right height 2. – take a 30 second break every 10 minutes, 5 minute break every hour. 3. Aeron. I know, I know, it’s not for everyone, but it works for me. 4. Back exercises as necessary
