In real life, pulling muscles (back muscles) are less used than pushing muscles and get less attention in the gym since they are not the mirror muscles. Hence, most folks have a hard time feeling the back or getting the technique right when doing back exercises.
One simple tip to feel your back more is to change your grip.
Over Hand, Thumbless Grip: When doing rows or lat pulldowns, or any other back exercises for that mater, take an over hand grip with your thumb over the bar than under.
The benefits of a thumb less grip for back exercises are:
- You can keep the bar closer to the body, especially in bent over rows.
- You feel the back muscles better.
The drawback is you might find it hard to hold on to the bar when t gets heavy. Chalk or straps usually help here. Try it and report back.
