Everyone wants to look good coming and going. It’s easy to give in to gravity and give up. No way! Keep working all the major muscle groups (legs, glutes, back, chest…).
When you work your back, there are upper and lower back exercises. There is a difference when your doing lat pull downs (at a gym, or what I do at home with a double tube set that has a bobble on it that you secure over the backside of the top of the door) in a wide-grip position, and a close grip.
Both holds work your back, and are done by pulling downward, but the wide-grip works more of your lattisimus dorsi (I call them angel wings). Close- grip works more of the V-muscles that work down the center and middle of your back (rhomboids, rear delts).
A balance in your training, accomplished through changing your grip, your speed, # of reps, or your weight used, creates a well balanced back that helps your bone density, your posture, and your overall physical balance and health.
