Some back questions I need help clarifying.
I have been lifting for over 8 years and still am not clear on some things.
Until a few months ago I thought pull-ups were for lats, and everything else was for traps.
When I would barbell row, I would squeeze my traps, and not lats. Is that what that exercise is for?
Lately I have squeezed everything from my lats, and only shrugs and deads were for traps. Is this correct?
I am not entirely clear about these exercises because I can squeeze my lats and back for just about all of them.
I added a picture (that is old, and I know I am fat) with some ghetto arrows to help clarify some things.
1. I know deads hit traps, but do they also hit rhomboids? Is that the rhomboids I am pointing to?
2. Are barbell rows for traps, or just lats?
3. What are seated cable rows for? Lats or where the rhomboids arrow is pointing?
4. Even with pull-ups I can squeeze my traps or lats, wtf?
Informed advice is greatly appreciated. Most places I try to read this information from groups all these exercises under back.Attachment 114912
