Get More Back Exercises Here:
Back exercise workouts are hit and miss in my opinion. Far too many of them fail to train your back with exercises that actually integrate the muscles that NEED to be trained together if you are to get the most results from your efforts.
To get that classic “V Taper” in your back you need to focus on exercises that build not only width but also the muscularity of all the muscles within the middle part of the back itself. It actually has the effect of broadening your muscles so you can get a wider back that demands attention.
That said, in part four of my bulletproof series, celebrity fitness trainer Jeff Cavaliere shows you how to broaden your back and get that V Taper shape by integrating your upper back muscles, mid back muscles and lower back muscles with just one exercise!
Stop low back pain forever by getting the other muscles of the back to do their job and protect it.
For more exercises just like this one and to get not only a V taper back but bigger biceps and shoulders as well, head to and get the AthLEAN-X Training System. In just 90 days you’ll be back on track to your best body ever!

Is this exercise just for bands? Or can I do this with the narrow cable system at the gym?
i suffered for a year actually, due to priformis syndrome, it caused sciatica and disc herniation, and the last three weeks was hell like thousands of volt going through my body, but now i am mostly pain free because of the core strengthening and stretching exercises.
if you are suffering don't loose hope just keep working on your core and flexibility
Knowing my luck the bands will snap & snap back & hit me in my face & knock me on my ass lol
Yes, 2 vertebrae are "mushroomed"… Meaning they are not nice and flat to line up on one another. It hasn't taken a chiropractor, a physical therapist and my very own personal training certs to bulletproof my back once and for all.
Guys and gals… Stop complaining about the pain and do something about it.
Fix your:
Posture
Imbalances
Sleep position
Eating habits

I can't even move my back, !
Jeff, I don't know if you'll see this comment or not, since this was uploaded in 2011. I only found out about you this year 2016. I have had 3 spine fusions and possibly need a 4th. 1st=Scheuerrmann's Kyphosis at T10-L2 to correct a 50 degree angle, 2nd=C3C4 n C4C5 disc replacement with my own bone, both done in 2012. I also have L6, yes I have an extra Lumbar vertebrae and the pars are fractured on both sides for maybe 20 years. This flared up in 2013, my main back doc can't figure out if it's from this or my SI joints. The pain moves around between those areas and comes n goes at will, no certain movement I do seems to kick it off. Pain can come and go for months at a time. Well finally here in Jan 2016 my neck doc surgeon had to redo my C4C5 because it never fused from 2012. My L6 pain starts then my neck pain comes back, after a stint in the hospital for a week, this level was refused by orthoscopic type procedure, he just injected synthetic bone in gap and so far it seems to be working. My L6 though is still messed up since May 2015 from the last n most current flare up. They are talking nerve blocks, then to possible burning these nerves. We were just talking a L6 to S1 fusion but now have gone back to this nerve block. I currently have 16 screws, 2 rods and one plate on spine, the neck redo no hardware was installed. I wish they would just try the L6S1 fusion but they keep being hesitant on this. I'm only 44 and am sick of this L6 pain. What do you think may help for my case? Thank you Jeff for your time and keep these awesome videos coming.
I do Alexander Technique and it's very helpful and effective in preventing back pain. It can also help if there already is pain or an injury.
yeah, but not majorly… from overworking in awkward upward positions reach up to a ceiling and sometimes backwards facing up, if that makes sense, overloading and causing spasms for quite some time
I've had off and on lower back pain for years now. It is usually agitated by high impact cardio or squats on a Smith machine (which is unfortunately all my gym has). I've found a lot of my issues go away when I have good posture.
I was doing the T-Bar Row today for the first time and injured my lower back on my fourth set I think it's a pulled muscle but I'm not sure.
Going to the doc soon.

What benefits so I gain from bicycling daily?
I am a Farrier (horse shoes) every Farrier I have ever heard of has back pain. I like to exercise but I have to be careful about that.
Can I do this with just one band? Thanks
Lower back most of my life.. When i started doing abs more often it slowly dissipated

I get muscle spams when doing back workouts. What can I do to prevent this?
I currently have back pain. Right shoulder blade is stiff and there's a stabbing pain as well. In the morning it doesn't like to move and I have to slowly force it through its full range of motion.
Those long ass intro days….
Hi mate,
