		<description><![CDATA[If you are a regular user of our Exercise Library then you may have noticed a training point which appears regularly in the “don't” section. It applies to many exercises and clearly states “don't arch your back”. Arching the lower back during exercise is one of the most common mistakes people make in the gym during their exercise session and it can have a detrimental effect on your progress.

Two different arches

There are not many exercise that manage to stay true to perfect technique and escape from the dreaded back arch. It can materialise in two ways: the first being the long hold where the back arches during the contraction in a slow, almost controlled manner and then relaxes again as the movement returns to the starting position. The second is the instigator of the exerciser's worst enemy: the body swing. This is where the unsuspecting gym-goer arches their lower back to create momentum to aid the movement, which again is bad technique.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is it for?
The Wide Grip Lat Pulldown exercise is gym based and uses the piece of equipment unsurprisingly called the Lat Pulldown machine (not just a clever name &#8211; Beeble). Due to its name you can probably guess that the main muscles it works are the Latissimus Dorsi (&#34;Lats&#34; highlighted in yellow) which, as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is it for?

The Bent Over Row is a good back exercise and as with all exercises there is one right way to do it and many wrong ways. This exercise focuses on the Latissimus Dorsi (“Lats” highlighted in yellow) which are the large wing-like muscles that travel from the top of the arms to the base of your back. The secondary muscles used are the biceps (highlighted in red) which nearly always team up with the lat muscles in pulling movements. We also use our core muscles in this exercise especially our erector spinae muscles (the small group of muscles that run along either side of our spines and support it) due to the use of the weights in this exercise wanting to pull the body forwards.

Carried out correctly this is a great exercise for building up back strength, increased strength in a pulling motion and improved posture for people with rounded shoulders (obviously combined with other exercises).

The Wide Grip Pull Up or Chin Up is another classic exercise and is a great way to develop strength to body weight ratio. I like this exercise but it is a difficult one to get completely perfect. The main muscles it works are the Latissimus Dorsi (&#34;Lats&#34; highlighted in yellow) which, [...]]]></description>
