All of this can be done at home with some dumbbells and resistance bands. Since you back is behind you, most of you forget about working your back. That is a big mistake because there are 17 different muscle groups in your back.
Having a V shaped back not only looks good, but it helps make your waist look smaller as well.
The first exercise to do is a DUMBBELL ROW. When you do this exercise, try to keep your back straight, you don’t want to hunch your back over. Get a full extension at the bottom, and pull it all the way back up towards your waist. The tempo is key in this exercise, really focus on pulling the weight up and controlling it on the way down.
At the top of the movement, make sure to squeeze and hold for a couple seconds to get a good contraction. I see a lot of people at the gym do this exercise wrong. They go fast, and rotate their torso to help get the weight up and use momentum. The key is to focus on only working the muscle that you are focusing on, using your mind muscle connection.
The next exercise to do is the LATERAL DUMBBELL RAISES. I know this exercise targets the shoulders, but working your deltoids is going to help make your back look bigger. We can’t use a lot of weight in this exercise because you are bringing the weight all the way out to the side. Keep your arms slightly bent and raise your elbows out to your shoulders.
The last exercise is LAT PULLDOWNS. That is when we will need to use resistance bands. Make sure the anchor is held securely in the door because you don’t want to get smacked in the face with the resistance band. Pull your elbows to your side and squeeze behind your back. Make sure to have a controlled movement to utilize good form.
Doing these exercises will help you get a big V shaped back that shows even when you are wearing a shirt. That wraps up this video on how to get a V shaped back at home.
