The backbone is one strong part of the body that defines one's bearing and capability to stand long hours. If you have been up-to-date, those with spinal injuries have problems sitting down or standing up for long hours. Or in worse cases, they cannot walk.

Beware of wrong executions and overestimating the weight of barbells or dumbbells you are lifting. These 3 exercises for a leaner and stronger back can be integrated so that you can manage yourself during strength and resistance sessions:

1.Inverse Flying. Position yourself by getting seated on the tip of the bench. Hold dumbbells and incline a little bit from your torso section. Your hands must be few notches under your knee with palms fronting each other. Make sure your arms are unbent.

While your torso and back are straightened in the same line, raise your arms gradually to your sides up until your shoulder level. Your elbows are to be kept bended slightly while your wrists must be straightened. With greater control of the motion upward, slowly bring your arms back down before bringing them up again. You can do 3 sets of 12 repetitions of this so-dubbed inverse flying or commonly called reverse fly.

2.Single Arm Rowing. Begin by standing straightly and feet spread away from each other. Hold a dumbbell with your right hand and slightly bend your upper body creating a 45-degree angle. You can make it 90 degrees if you can. Make sure your back is kept flat.

Put your non-weighted hand on the bench for back-up. Maintain this bearing as you do the single arm rowing. You must gradually bend your elbow up until it aligns to your rib cage. As you row your arm, you will feel the contraction in your back muscles. Tighten your abs muscles while doing this, too. After 3 sets of 12 repetitions, you can shift to the other leg and arm to go hand in hand.

3.Weight Pullover. This is commonly referred to as the dumbbell pullover which targets to train your back muscles. Lie down on either a bench or fitness ball. A dumbbell must be held by each of your hands over your chest area. Extend your arms up with palms facing inside. While keeping your elbows bent slightly, you can bring your arms gradually toward the floor until leveling with your shoulders line. After bringing your arms down, raise them again to the original position. You can do 3 sets of 12 repetitions of this dumbbell pullover exercise.

True, it's important to have a stronger back in order to execute the exercises designed for you at the gym. Strength and resistance trainings need you to have remarkably strong muscles that allow you to get best results. Otherwise, you will just end up strained, stressed or injured.
