Barbell Deadlift

First on the list, barbell deadlift. 

The reason why it's the perfect routine for a toned back is because it hits the body's posterior chain (down to your calves and up to your traps. And not just that, it's also effective for overall backside development.

However, before you go down and start deadlifting, be sure to remember that applying a thorough technique is important for you to not get hurt and reap the benefits that this exercise has to offer. 

Tip from a fitness expert: It's better to use conventional deadlift when exercising the back since it's the most ideal compared to other types of deadlift.


Pull-up

Pull-up exercises are highly recommended by trainers and fitness guru if you badly want to have a V-shape physique since it targets the lats directly. The pull up is considered as one of the most effective exercises for strengthening the back muscles. 

Tip from a fitness expert: The best way to improve with your pull-ups is by consistently practicing them. The more you do pull-ups, the more efficient your neuromuscular system becomes. And that only means that the movement becomes a permanent feature in your body and brain.


Standing T-Bar Row

Since this type of exercise allows you to pile on much more weight, the standing T-bar row is considered as the ultimate back exercise. It's the most ideal exercise as well for building explosive power and strength since it allows you to pull the weight explosively for the concentric before slowly controlling the negative for a deep stretch.

Tip from a fitness expert: Since this exercise is not a squat, always remember to keep your legs locked in a bent angle while doing the entire set. Doing a wider grip will work the lats while doing a neutral grip will target the middle back.


Single-Arm Dumbbell Row
