Secondary: Arms (trizeps brachii, palmarflexoren)

The Long Back Pull is an effective exercise to train the posterior shoulder, the complete back and
the arms. Due to the long lever action of the arms, the exercise concerted trains the medial and
lower back. The V-shape allows for a greater range of motion and an additional training stimulus
for the upper back and shoulder.

The following figures illustrate the exercise Long Back Pull, V-Form:

The more you bring the arms behind the shoulder joints, the more intense is the contraction in the shoulder and upper back muscles.
