Gallery: STOP Ignoring Your Back At The Gym, Try These Essential Exercises For A Ripped Back

A lot of people get motivated for one reason or another and head to the gym. That's great! They look at themselves in the mirror, see what muscles they want to improve, and get to work. 

Are there any problems with that? The only problem is, working out just your "show" muscles leaves you with a weak core. It makes you more susceptible to injury, and reduces your full muscle-building potential. 

To make sure you don't end up with a hurt back or a weak core, you'll want to make these exercises a vital part of your gym routine. As always, these routines might not work for everyone depending on your fitness level or existing injuries; but take a peak at these essential exercises to help you get a ripped back.
