3 WORST THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BUILD A BIGGER BACK

If you're looking to add size to these non-mirror muscles, you'll want to avoid these miscues at all costs.

Whether your goal is to be a 250 lb. freak or 185 lb. sculpture, all of us who lift want to develop a V-shaped back with enough bumps and lumps to match the Rocky Mountains. However, this is no easy task, as the musculature of the back is quite complex and often hard to feel while lifting. It’s quite common to hear fellow trainees complain that when they try and work their lats, they manifest a better pump in the forearms and biceps, which does little to stimulate back growth.

This is without a doubt the #1 culprit for holding back the development of big backs. While there certainly is a powerful correlation between the strength of a muscle and its eventual size, there is an even stronger one between keeping the target muscle under tension and the ability to “feel” it doing the work. The mind/muscle connection is very real and more important than you may think. Especially when it comes to back training, going too heavy will disrupt your gains by reducing target muscle tension and preventing you from reaching the level of focus necessary for maximum stimulation.
Here are eight training mistakes that may be keeping you from beefing up your back.

Bust through any arm-building stalemate the hard way with these gun blasters

Ninety-nine percent of Muscle & Fitness readers started lifting weights to build bigger arms, the other one percent are liars! Iconoclast, old-school bodybuilder, the late Chuck Sipes, had this to say, “The settler, the village blacksmith, the lumberjack, the carpenter and builder — all needed powerful arms to ply their trade well, and in time those with the greatest, most powerful arms grew to be respected for their contributions.”
Regardless of era, the bottom line is men want powerful, well-developed arms. In spite of the desire to build muscular arms, most folks toil endlessly in vain with no guns to show for it. Why is this? More than likely it’s exercise selection.

 Here 6 MOVES TO WORK YOUR ARMS TO EXHAUSTION know  .
