7 Back-Strengthening Exercises

Deadlifts

Deadlifts work the lower back, upper back, and glutes. They strengthen the posterior chain. As your form improves, add weight.

Pull-ups

Pull-ups target latissimus dorsi ("lats") and rhomboids. Shoulders and biceps. If you can't pull-up, use a machine or bands.

Bent-over Rows

This workout targets trapezius and rhomboids. Hold a barbell or dumbbell overhand, lean forward at the waist, and bring the weights to your chest with a straight back.
