The 7 Best Exercises to Build Your Back

The only things that most guys focus on are the things they can see right in front of them.

That holds true in most contexts throughout life; at work, at home, and most especially, in the gym. But I'm here to change that.

For far too long you've probably been distracted by what's directly in your line of sight when you check yourself out in the mirror. Meanwhile, there's a whole world of potential gains just waiting to be had around the other side.

You should be working out your back just as hard as your front, and dedicating just as much time and effort to the things you can't always see.

Benefits of Deadlift

The barbell deadlift is one of the best exercises around, period. Whether you want to build muscle, burn fat, increase athleticism, or focus purely on gaining strength, it's the one movement every lifter must do. But it only helps you out if you learn to do it right.

How To Deadlift

Look on YouTube and you'll find a whole bunch of folks doing their best one-humped camel impersonations while dragging a barbell up their legs. Yeah, don't do that. Every time you deadlift, you should be totally focused on good form.
