A good workout program is one that improves your performance and strengthens every muscle in your body. Read on to find out which muscles are often overlooked by athletes and how to train them.
Rhomboids
We often forget to work on our upper back strength even though the muscles in this area are very important for our shoulders and posture. Rhomboids are muscles that connect the upper spine and shoulder blades. To increase their strength you can do more face pulls or batwing rows.
Hamstrings
Hamstrings are one of the biggest muscle groups that can improve our athletic performance as long as we stretch them on a regular basis. Sadly they often get neglected because we focus more on our quads, so try to do more hamstring swings and deadlifts to make your hamstrings stronger.
“Grip” Muscles
Most arm workouts tend to put the focus on our biceps or triceps, but what about your grip muscles? These are also often neglected which is a big mistake because we need a strong grip to do even the most basic exercises like pull-ups or lifting weights. Barbell shrug or dead hangs are some of the exercises you can do to improve your grip strength.
