BACK!!!

Exact same experience as me J. Had this nagging pain for years but never felt it while I was doing lat pulls behind the neck, so was not sure what was causing it. I stopped and it never came back

Shame I used to like 'em

What you need is the T-nation.com "Heal that hunchback" article series (5 part):

- T-bar rows (barbell between legs and lift heavy)
- inverse dumbell flys (well that's the only thing I can think of calling them)
- hyper extentions (strong lower back helps)
- sitting and/or standing good mornings
- maybe even overhead squats
- lying face down on bench shrugs
- and not forgetting chins/pullups

Those are what I use anyway

You have probably got heavier so more weight to pull up

Don't parallel dips work the chest also?

Actually, I have started doing back exercises on teh pec dec machine. It looks a little odd but its fortunate in my gym cos you can adjust the pads until they are way back. The problem I find with any back exercises is that my biceps tire easily and I don't feel it that much in the lats/traps

How do you do back exercises on the pec dec?

i think he means one of them fly machines that you can sit in backwards and does rear delts and traps

Yeah Sam/Stu, its actually not designed for it but its just fortunate that the angle of pads (where you place your forearms) can be adjusted right backpast the predesigned holes so that you can sit on it facing the backrest. Bit awkward bit it can totally isolated your rear delts/traps.

Got some odd looks when I started it and 2 people told me that I was using the machine wrong implying I was some sort of a retard, lol

I think I have started a trend now 8)
