Plenty of guys that go to the gym have big biceps and triceps and even pecs, but what separates the men from the boys is having a large muscular back. A big burly back is easily the most intimidating body part that commands instant respect. There are many muscle groups in the back and each of them needs to be exercised optimally. The 3 best exercises that work out the entire back are: dead-lift, chin-up, and rows. Base your muscle building programs around these 3 exercises and a big muscular back is guaranteed. Out of these 3 exercises, the dead-lift is the most powerful. Every little muscle from the neck down to the calves, like trapezius, upper back, lats, lower back, buttock muscles, hamstrings, quads and also the biceps and forearms gets a major stimulus to grow when you perform the dead-lift. If you choose just one exercise, choose the dead-lift and its variations.
