YOUR
BACK

WHO SHE IS:
YOUR BACK MUSCLES MIGHT
BE HARD TO SEE BUT THEY’RE
NOT HARD TO WORK ON NATIONALLY QUALIFIED BIKINI
WHEN’S THE LAST TIME YOU TOOK A NICE, LONG, HARD LOOK AT
YOUR… BACK? (PAUSING HERE SO YOU CAN FIND A MIRROR AND
UNCOMFORTABLY STRAIN YOUR NECK FOR A PEEK.) WHEN WE
WORK OUT, WE TEND TO FOCUS ON THE BODY PARTS WE STARE
AT ALL THE TIME—ABS, ARMS, LEGS, BUTT,” SAYS T-REX HEAD
TRAINER ADAM HEADLAND. That’s a huge problem, and not AS A LIFESTYLE TRANSFORMA-
just because you’re missing out on definition where
you least expect it. Our back muscles pitch in for nearly
every movement, so when they’re weak, your entire
body suffers. More specifically, the muscles around
your lower back protect your spine, so when those guys
aren’t getting enough attention at the gym, you risk
injury.
