Exercise is usually hyperextension of the trunk and you can do 5 sets of 12-15 reps very slowly with hands after neck. When you do movements raise your torso as up as you can while maintaining your heels, knees, and basin a fixed position.

Sometimes you can do super series of this exercise with trunk lift from the inclined plane (for abdomen) to strengthen this area of your trunk. Further, move to a fixed bar and do tractions for enlarging your superior part of dorsal muscles.

When does this movement draw yourself with the chest under the bar contacting hard your dorsal muscles and to return completely extends the arms forward drawing after them the dorsal muscles?

The most useful exercises for building your back muscles are barbell shrugs. One of these exercises is T-bars rows. When doing T-bars rows at 90 degrees ensure that bar weights will allow you to perform the exercises correctly. Thus you will gain too big profits: the first is muscle will benefit from right movement ensuring its growth and the second is you will be safe from injury.

Always pull the bar till the stomach, because muscle is then contracted to the fullest. Do not ever let down the bar during a set. Instead of this, you can do one arm dumbbell rows. For this movement keep the spine straight and look forward. For this first category, you can perform 6 sets, pyramid weights as the way to work 8-10 reps per set.

Next type of back exercise is seated rows. It is a very good exercise for the central and external dorsal muscles. Perform the movement by pulling the cable up to the chest.

For a correct execution here increase the number of repetitions from 10 to 14, perform 5 sets total.

The last exercise is bar straightening at the Smith device. Try to work about accurate and perfectly controlled 10 to 12 reps with weights that suit you perfectly.  Your knees bend, thus lower back works greatly.

If you are a professional bodybuilder then pre-competition training begins with 10 weeks before the contest and then work back to cable exercises to increase your muscle quality. The total number of sets for the back will be increased to 30-35.

Otherwise what you eating is very important, because the quality of food consumed is much higher now than in season table.  You should be aware that training hard is a waste of time if you do not eat properly.
