Back train ers are available for muscles of the back in a variety of designs. In various ways, back trainers can strengthen these muscles when integrated into a regular workout. The benefits are obvious: better and more upright posture, prevention of various diseases of the spine, freedom from pain or reduction of existing pain, and finally the simply better appearance due to a more trained appearance. The newly acquired body awareness can thus also contribute to a strengthened self-esteem and general well-being . Here you can find out exactly which muscles can be trained using the back trainer.
Back trainer
Many people will want to use a back trainer primarily to strengthen the muscles of the lower back. The back extensor(Musculus erector spinae) is the muscle group mainly responsible for a straight and stretched back. The back extensor is also involved in the rotation and lateral inclination of the spine and thus the entire trunk. So, in these functions, the back extensor works together with the abdominal muscles, which also help with trunk rotations . The abdominal muscles are also necessary for flexion of the spine, which makes them virtually the counterpart of the back extensor. However, frequent sitting postures result in constant hyperextension of the back extensor and a resulting imbalance with respect to the abdominal muscles. A hunchback can develop. Back trainers therefore strengthen the muscles of the back extensor to the extent that they can also prevent incorrect postures. The hyperextension bench, for example, is sometimes best suited for this purpose.

Large back muscle
Also running along the entire spine is the large back muscle(Musculus latissimus dorsi). In terms of area, it represents the largest muscle of the human body and consists of four parts. Its main functions are vertical and horizontal pulling movements with the arms. Parts of the latissimus also serve as auxiliary muscles on the ribs during breathing. With a back trainer, the muscles can be effectively trained. A proven machine for this purpose is, for example, the lat pull-down.
Conclusion
Back trainers strengthen several muscles of the back. Training the back is possible comprehensively with only a few machines. Back trainers are ideal for muscles of the lower and upper back. Other muscle groups on the back, such as the back shoulder or the trapezius muscle , can also be loaded and all provide more beneficial posture and body awareness.
