PNBA 2x Natural Olympia Figure champion Alondra Chatman shares her workout to transform your back.
A ripped back can drastically enhance your physique. A back that’s shredded will improve your shoulder-to-waist ratio to give you a nice V-taper. And it will prevent upper body imbalances – for men, at least since many men overtrain their chest muscles and undertrain their back muscles. In addition, a muscular and lean back is essential for bodybuilders. International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) 2x Figure Open Natural Olympia champion Alondra Chatman shared her workout to transform your back.
Alondra Chatman has a multi-media contract with Generation Iron, INBA PNBA, and Iron Man Magazine and is a PNBA Hall of Fame Inductee. Moreover, her business was nominated by the San Leandro Mayor for the Award of Excellence in 2021.

Benefits of a Strong Back
A muscular back will widen your torso, which will enhance your V-taper since it will improve your shoulder-to-hip ratio. A strong back will also:
- improve your body composition
- fix your posture
- prevent muscular imbalances
Besides your legs, your back hosts the second-largest muscle (lats), so building up your back will give your frame more muscle and less fat. In addition, of course, a straight back will improve your posture, and back exercises will help correct a rounded back. Moreover, your back stabilizes your shoulder joints, which will help you improve your bench press. And it’s imperative to build a solid back to protect yourself from injuries because overtraining your chest muscles and undertraining your back muscles increase the risk.
