Many trainees pay great attention to strengthening the muscles of the arms and back. This is due to the fact that the relief of these muscles attracts the attention of others. From a medical point of view, a strong back helps to avoid many problems with the spine, as well as the occurrence of diseases of internal organs due to improper posture. Strong arms, of course, help in life to master a greater number of weights.
