What muscles do you pull hard to exercise?

In the whole process of hard drawing, the back muscle is always the main muscle to exert force. After a period of hard stretching and intensive exercise, the lower back (lower back) erector spinae will become extremely developed and strong. In addition to the erector spinae mentioned above, upper back muscles such as latissimus dorsi will also participate in sports to a great extent in the peak stage of hard pulling (before locking).

2, gluteus maximus and other related muscles

The gluteus maximus will play a role in the lifting stage and the locking point, especially at the highest locking point, when the gluteus maximus is in a state of tension and contraction. In addition to the gluteus maximus, hard pulling can also make other muscles around the buttocks actively participate in the force.

3. Leg muscles

Like squat, hard pulling exercises almost the whole leg muscles, and the strength of the leg when pulling off the ground is very important. Especially the straight leg hard pull pays more attention to the movement of hamstring muscles! In fact, leg strength is the beginning and execution of hard pulling, and back strength is the posture position of the body trunk when controlling the whole movement.

4. arm, arm (plural of arm)

The muscles of the arm are in the contraction stage during the whole lifting process. Especially the forearm muscles are the most prominent, because you have to grasp the barbell with your palm.

5. Shoulder and trapezius muscles

In the process of hard pulling, both deltoid muscle and trapezius muscle of shoulder will participate in traction. Strong hard pullers often have beautiful shoulders and developed trapezius muscles.

Extended data:

Hard pulling can mobilize many muscles of the lower body, including gluteus maximus and hamstring. When you reach your knees and lift a heavy object, the quadriceps femoris will be activated. Because the gluteus maximus is the main stress point of this training, hard pulling will make the buttocks strong.

Hard pulling can also exercise the muscles of trapezius, lower back, middle back and upper back. And hard pulling will stabilize the spine, so the whole core will be challenged. You can choose any weight of equipment, such as dumbbells, solid balls, barbells or kettlebells, but different hard pull postures have different effects.
