Build a Strong Back With These Pull-Day Staples

A strong back is the foundation of pulling power. These pull-day staples will help you build it.

Your upper back drives performance in nearly every lift. It supports your squat, steadies your bench, and is the prime mover in deadlifts and pull ups. Training it the right way means using a mix of horizontal and vertical pulls to hit every angle.

This guide highlights the best pull exercises including barbell rows, pull ups, lat pulldowns, and cable variations. You will also find smart banded and bodyweight options to round out your pull days no matter where you train.

Whether you are chasing a stronger deadlift, better posture, or more muscle size, these exercises deliver results you can see and feel.

Ditch grocery store coffee. Support small roasters instead with Trade.

I don’t know about you, but like most Americans, the first thing I reach for every morning is my favorite mug and the coffee in my pantry. For years, I grabbed whatever coffee was on sale at the grocery store, never considering its origin. As long as it got me going, that was enough. But then I found Trade, and it completely transformed my morning routine.

Trade connects you with some of the finest small-batch coffee roasters across the country—the kind of local businesses you’d want to visit if they were nearby. These aren’t giant chains with mass-produced blends; these are passionate artisans crafting coffee that’s fresh, unique, and bursting with flavor. I took Trade’s quick quiz, and they matched me with coffees I never would’ve found on a grocery store shelf. Now, I can’t imagine going back.

Every bag is roasted fresh and shipped straight to me. The difference in taste was astounding—I didn’t even have to change my brewing method. And the aroma? Let’s just say even my neighbor asked what I was drinking.

Supporting small businesses has never been easier—or more rewarding. Plus, Powerlifting Technique readers can receive an exclusive 50% off their first subscription order when you sign up today. Simply share your preferences—like taste, grind, and coffee consumption—and Trade will match you with the perfect roast. There’s no risk, just amazing coffee and the satisfaction of supporting local roasters, plus one less item on your grocery list.
