Someone once said that if you want to build a huge back, then you need to practice more hard pulls because they can influence the effect of back training and at the same time make the back muscles stronger. There are many people who choose the hard pull in their exercises to enhance the stimulation of the target muscles and at the same time improve the flexibility of the muscles.

But the hard pull is not as easy to manipulate as one might think, and if we want it to be effective, then we need to master the techniques used in the hard pull. Those who practice hard pulling regularly will find that too much hard pulling can make the back and lower back very sore, which can affect the performance of the rest of the workout, so we should try to reduce the stress on the back as much as possible when training.

Hard pulling.

An effective way to reduce soreness in the lower back is to focus on flexibility, as according to research strength training and stretching combined are effective in avoiding muscle pain, as muscles in a forced state of tightness and restriction increase the risk of muscle injury.

Although it is important to mobilise the whole body during training, if muscles are kept tight then there is an increased risk of joint and muscle injury, so we need to target specific muscle groups to improve muscle flexibility.

Especially in the back and shoulders, areas that tend to be tight, we must practice more to improve muscle flexibility and also look at the body in a holistic way. If you feel a strong pain, you should stop training immediately, because the pain you feel is a sign that your body has been injured, so you must stop training immediately to avoid further injury.

There are some exercises that are more risky than others, especially for those who have weak backs. The hard pull is a good example, as it is a heavy weight movement that can put a lot of pressure on the back. If we do not master the art of the barbell hard pull, then it can lead to all kinds of physical discomfort.

The barbell hard pull is a very free weighted apparatus training movement and although it gives us great rewards, the risks involved in training are still high, so if you feel discomfort in your back during training then it is better to avoid the barbell hard pull and choose other gentle back movements instead of the hard pull.

Choosing other training movements can also be effective in promoting muscle development, especially alternating movements that reduce the stress on the back while still allowing for effective movement of the whole body without putting the spine in an overload position. It is also important to note that it is important to avoid doing heavy weight training in the morning. Although the morning is a time when the mind is clear, there are certain problems if we do heavy weight training right after waking up.

Because our discs decompress and fill with fluid while we sleep, there is a high risk of injury to the discs in this decompressed state, so we should warm up for a long time before training.

Adequate rest is also very important, especially after a busy day of work and training, the body can be in a state of great stress, so adequate rest is necessary to allow the body to recover.

Even though we want to increase our ability to do hard pulls, it is important to take some time to consider what other movements we can choose and not just use one movement for the back. If you want to strengthen your back, then you have to spend more time stimulating your back muscles, but at the same time you have to learn to protect them and constantly make adjustments to your training programme.
