Back training - Feeling biceps more than back?

Save Tip

1. Reduce the weight - If the weight is too heavy you will be tempted to heave the weight. Also, if the weight is too heavy you will over-involve other muscles like the biceps and forearms.

2. Use straps or hooks - This lets you ease your grip which in turns relaxes your arms. You must treat your hands as hooks.

3. Use higher reps - At least until you have developed a better mind-muscle connection.

4. Instigate each rep with a shrug - Shrug your shoulder blades back and down at the start of each rep.

5. Consciously contract your back muscles - Use the contraction to pull the weight. Don't be led by the arms.
