How to Perform
Supermans
Muscles Targeted During Supermans
• Trapezius (The big back
muscles)
•
Serratus Posterior (deep lower back muscle)
• Erector Spinae (deep back muscles)
• Teres Minor & Major (Just above the Lats)
• Rhomboids (smaller upper back muscle)
With the Seated Cable Row
and Lat
Pulldown exercises focusing heavily on the larger muscles,
this exercise targets the smaller muscles in the Upper back.
This is a
great
exercise for those with Upper Back & Neck weaknesses or for
those
that want to prevent this from happening.
