Angel Casas, fitness bodybuilder, trainer, and EVLUTION Nutrition athlete, structures his contest prep workouts to take a holistic approach to build each of the muscle groups for back thickness. This workout focuses on creating the right resistance and contraction from the lower back and inside muscles to building width and wings.

Typically lat pulldowns or pullups are the back workout standard; however, placing the same level of attention on the lower back is key to creating both thickness and balance. 



Push yourself even harder by maintaining the constant tension throughout the movement. Time under tension is critical to engage the muscles. Studies suggest that the time the muscle is under tension during exercise may be important to build bigger muscles and to prevent muscle loss that occurs with ageing or disease.
