People often times completely forget about building up your back and they just focus on their arms, legs, chest, etc. You are right, building muscle can really help you burn fat, and lose weight. Not to mention your back has a huge potential for muscle growth. And it does give you that nice V-Taper. Bodybuilders often times go above the V-Taper and target the X instead of just the V. You get the X by building up your legs to balance your back out as well. Just think of the X as two V's on top of eachother (Just the bottom is upside down.) Anyhow, one of the best and most efficient ways to get that X-and/or V shape is to do deadlifts. They are really tough but they burn a ton of calories and work your biceps-lats-upper and lower back, and your hamstrings. Deadlifts are good stuff ;)Anyhow, great post.Good luck!-Sean Israel,Great post!

The muscle is also rarely worked in our daily lives. For me, the best way to work my lats would be the wide grip pull ups, bent over barbell rows. Also, deadlifts are the king of back builders.

I wish I had time to do that now but work and family keep me busy. The toughest part about working out is just showing up to do it. So, sometimes we just need a little motivation.

However, it is much harder. When I do get 8 hours of sleep a night, I see the results in my waist, muscles, and workouts. The hormones and chemicals released when you get an adequate amount of sleep are very important, such as growth hormone. Cheap and legal human growth hormone. LOL. I am currently at 6 hours a night and will hopefully be at 7 hours very soon. It simply requires organization and prioritization. Good luck! Dip,

It is imperative that you balance any lat workout with an overhead press workout simply to balance the hypertrophy and minimise the chances of muscular imbalance. @MizFit - you should try assisted pull ups when next at the gym coupled with overhead db press. keep that up for a few weeks and you'll soon have those tiny woman sans steroid wings. I put up a post about pull ups on my blog recently 13 reasons to do pull ups take a read if you like. Hi Dr.

The only concern I have is 7-9hrs of sleep. I barely make it to 7hrs, work full time go to evening classes, do some household stuff and then exercise. Is sleep really that important? I thought of sleep beeing important to construction workers and the like, but for the average office worker, keeping a healthy posture and relaxing a bit while in an office chair should give the muscles enough time to build up/recover. What are your thoughts on this? Hi there, nice post, well worth the read. The only concern I have is 7-9hrs of sleep.
