To strengthen and grow your back muscles, you need all kinds of pulls. The simplest exercise at home is pulling up on a bar. If the projectile is not at home, it will definitely be found on the street.
Pull-ups
Técnica
- Hook your hands on the bar, straighten your arms.
- On the exhale pull up, bending your arms at the elbows and trying to touch the bar with your chin.
- Ao inspirar, volte à posição inicial.
Perform 5-7 repetitions.
If the usual pull-ups are difficult, you can tie a rubber expander to the bar and step on it with your feet. It will take part of the load on itself, and the exercise will be much easier.
