Arnold Schwarzenegger's Son's Back Workout: 4 Old-School Moves That Build Width And Strength · NDTV

Arnold Schwarzenegger was a famous bodybuilder and movie star, and his son Joseph Baena shared some of his favorite ways to exercise.

He says simple, old-fashioned exercises can make your back big and strong.

Back muscles are important because they can make your shoulders look wider and create a V-shape.

The first exercise is pull-ups, where you hang from a bar and pull yourself up.

If pull-ups are too hard, you can use machines, bands, or slower 'negative' reps to build strength.

The second exercise is the T-bar row, where you pull heavy weight toward you to make your back thicker.

The third is the high cable row, where you pull a cable with your elbows up high to work the upper back.

The last exercise is the single-arm pulldown, which you do one side at a time so both sides grow evenly.

Baena says it is important to think about and feel the muscles you are using.

The article reminds readers to talk to a doctor before following fitness advice.
