Upper Back

The Upper Back muscles — including the rhomboids, trapezius, and rear delts — control scapular movement and postural alignment. They provide the foundation for shoulder mechanics and pulling power.

Exercises such as rows, face pulls, and band pull-aparts develop endurance and symmetry. A strong upper back supports pressing strength, improves shoulder mobility, and enhances performance in compound lifts.
