Exercising your back muscles?

[M4G1CA]

My sports teacher told us to do a few exercises and she noticed my back muscles are underdeveloped and told me to exercise them at home

 

Well I've been looking at google but it hasn't given me much other than "how to remove lower back pain" and "how to have a sexy back for your male partner", so I thought I'd turn to you guys

 

Know of any exercises that don't require any weights/gear to train my back muscles? Thanks

Unintentionally, I carried a very heavy back pack for a year. Without much squating I can squat over 250 no problem. Not a huge acomplishment but developes good back muscles.

Squats are basically for your quads.

different squatting techniques but you are correct

push ups?

 

 

even pull ups would do it, but make sure your hands are spread apart kinda far on the bar to work your back muscles.

^ Called wide grip pull ups not sure how strong you are so you might only be able to do a few if thats the case then go buy some resitance bands that suit your strength level and build up to the pull ups (wide grip)

For some reason I stopped reading after that... :P

 

Anyways I think this website is really good, though there's a lot of terminology you might not know.

Back muscles are really hard to train at home without equipment... kinda retarded for her to tell you that. My suggestion is to go to a gym or do an assload of pull ups.
