Deadlifts
Good mornings

Deadlift is the #1 back exercise. It can strengthen and thicken your back if done correctly with good form

Start off with the bar at first, and don't add weight until you get the form down perfectly.

With poor from the deadlift can damage your back, but with proper form and enough weight the deadlift can strengthen and thicken it.
