Upper back
muscles development involves more than just the back muscles themselves.
When you hit a rear double biceps pose, the traps and the muscles of the
upper and middle back are dominant, but all the back muscles from elbow
to elbow play their part, including the biceps and the rear delts.
The central
muscle of the upper back is the trapezius, an angular muscle that
extends down to the shoulders from either side of the neck, then comes
together over the spine about halfway down the back. In a highly
developed back muscles, the traps muscles will be full and massive,
balancing off the lats on either side and clearly separated from them in
back poses.
Exercises
that specifically work the traps muscle include anything which involves
lifting the shoulders - shrugs and upright rows, primarily, but also
rowing in certain positions and some kinds of presses - and are covered
in the trapezius training program.
