Best Back Exercises
Browse all 77 back exercises
The back is a large, complex muscle group responsible for pulling movements, posture, and spinal stability. A well-developed back is critical for balanced physique and injury prevention.
The major back muscles include the latissimus dorsi (the widest muscle), trapezius (upper, mid, lower), rhomboids, teres major and minor, and the erector spinae along the spine. These muscles work together for rowing, pulling, and spinal extension.
