Your back is an important area of your body to exercise no matter the situation, and one that people often neglect when they plan up workout regimes. Many people will experience back troubles at one point or another during their lives, and these ailments can be debilitating, hampering your ability to perform even simple tasks like tying your shoelaces.

The back is also one of the key areas of our bodies that can be targeted for increased height gain through exercise. Thus we can kill two birds with one stone by utilizing proper back exercise routines. These exercises help strengthen your back, and help the discs and vertebrae to become bulkier and less compressed, increasing height in the process.

We’ll look at three different back exercises here which can be used to stave off the potential ailments of back disorders, while also giving you a great chance to gain some extra inches.

1) Dumbbell Power Clean and Press - This technique is seen quite often in power lifting competitions with barbells, allowing competitors to lift up massive amounts of weight safely and efficiently. It can also be used with a lesser amount of weight and dumbbells, which is what we’ll focus on here.

First, bend your knees slightly, with your arms dangling by your side. Now pull the dumbbells up with your arms remaining hanging down, though now bent at the elbow, until the dumbbells are up near your shoulders, naturally rising out of your squat position during this time. Now as you flip the weights up so that your palms are now facing upwards and the weights is being held much more by your wrists, drop down into a squat again. Now simultaneously rise up on your legs, while pushing your arms up into the air. Hold this position at the top for a few moments, then repeat the process backwards to return to your starting position.

2) Lat Pull Downs - You’ll need a high-pulley cable machine to perform this routine, meaning you may need to do this one at a gym. Get into a wide side position with your feet spaced far apart, and also grasp the bar with a wide grip. Now pull the bar down to your upper chest area, hold briefly, then release.

3) Seated Lat Rows - You’ll need a low cable machine for this technique. Sitting straight up, maintain this posture as you pull the bar towards your abdomen. Keep your elbows close to your sides throughout this routine, back straight and head up, making sure not to overextend too far as you pull or release.

These exercises give your back a great workout, increasing flexibility and strength, and working to decompress the discs and vertebrae in the spine. They’re also great workouts for building arm strength as well. Head to your local gym and give your back the workout it needs and deserves, and watch the inches follow.
