The only things that most guys focus on are the things they can see right in front of them.

That holds true in most contexts throughout life; at work, at home, and most especially, in the gym. But I'm here to change that.

For far too long you've probably been distracted by what's directly in your line of sight when you check yourself out in the mirror. Meanwhile, there's a whole world of potential gains just waiting to be had around the other side.

You should be working out your back just as hard as your front, and dedicating just as much time and effort to the things you can't always see.

Building up your back is more beneficial than just checking off another box on your full body schedule. Once you get going, your posture will improve, as your weak, once-ignored muscles grow, so your desk-hunch will be less pronounced when you're away from the office.

Your back can also play a large role in boosting strength for other lifts you might not expect, like the bench press. The muscles in your upper- and mid-back help stabilize your shoulder joints. The stronger and more stable your shoulders, the more weight you can lift in just about every upper-body exercise.

Since many back exercises require you to use your arms for pulls and rows to activate the muscles, working your back is also great for targeting your arm muscles. Even though you're focused on your rear, your front gets to benefit, too.

Are you fixated on your front because you're yearning for a V-shaped torsos? You're not going to get there without homing in on the back. If that's all you're looking to do, check out this workout—but you should probably be motivated to look beyond just attaining that V.

Now are you ready to work your back more? Get started with ten of my favorite exercises to work your entire back.
