1.Back Lever

Beginner   Back, Abs Workout
I felt like Tosho’s built enough strength to fight this Back Lever variation on his own. So I let him try it on his own and it seemed just about right. You’ll see in the later workouts how smoothly he manages this variation now.

2.Shoulder Pull-Back

Beginner   Back, Abs Workout
This exercise works awesome the back head of the shoulder. Definitely a must for the back workout.

3.Shoulder-Lat Pulls

Beginner   Back, Abs Workout
And one exercise for the front head of the shoulder and the lats.

4.Lastics Raises

Beginner   Back, Abs Workout
Another exercise for the upper back. :)

5.Dragon Flag

Beginner   Back, Abs Workout
One may ask why am I making him do dragon flags if he already mastered them. Well because I want his abs to stay in shape until he manages the front lever.
