A strong back is not only important for your health, a well developed V-taper can be aesthetically pleasing. Striations coming together to form what looks like a Christmas tree under two large looming lats. In addition to your upper back, it is important to incorporate exercises that focus on the back of your legs. These are largely thought of as pulling movements while the front is considered pushing. Don't be confused though, while hamstrings are part of your legs, they are often trained with back exercises.
