back day

Lats and traps

Back day is gym slang for a workout session focused on the muscles of the back—latissimus dorsi, trapezius, rhomboids, and related groups.

Weightlifters who follow split routines dedicate specific days to specific muscle groups: I can't do pull-ups tomorrow, it's leg day—back day is Thursday.

The pattern extends to chest day, arm day, and so on.
