The Return Of Arnold
by Scott on April 1st, 2008
No, not the real Arnold. Just me taking quotes of great workout information from his book The New Encyclopedia Of Modern Bodybuilding. So without further adieu…
When It Comes To The Lat Muscles,
Arnold Says…
“The lats have two basic functions as far as bodybuilding is concerned: They pull the shoulder back (a rowing motion) and pull the shoulders down (a pulldown or chinning motion). A common mistake when doing these movements is to use too much biceps effort and not enough back, or to involve the muscles of the lower back in a swaying motion instead of making the lasts do most of the work. You have to make an effort when training lats to isolate them so that only these muscles are involved in the movement.”

A great place to start for chest and shoulders is your basic bench press…and then you can move into variations of the bench (Incline/decline/overhead) and dumb bell presses as well with the variations. Check out Bodybuilding.com. they have a lot of great information and demos for every part of the body.
