train upper back thoughts Anonymous
my chiropractor reminded me i need to train equally, front and back. by concentrating on my front area for only 4 sessions i hurt my left shoulder, ruined cleans and ruined pec machine exercises, couldn't do them. so I've been fixed up, and i'll have to ease back in.

she showed me a "reverse fly", to bring my shoulder blades together (train rhomboids), and pull some weird machine into me. The point is the upper back has been COMPLETELY neglected. She said if I DON'T do this, which is completely stupid, I'll get a rotator cuff injury. So there's worse pain if i don't smarten up.

she mentioned I should do lat pulldowns behind my head, but I don't have the strength ever to do more than like 2 reps. I think my current in front pulldowns are .. useless?

Thoughts /fit/? P.S. is there a good dictionary like urbandictionary but for fitness terms?

I'm not too fond of bending over exercises, as it hurts sometimes. Stretching helps, waiting for a time helps, but sometimes nothing helps and I have to stop the exercise.

i hear yah, bruv. im only 24 but i have a lower back injury from loading trucks @ UPS for a year (and they still owe me $300+ in back pay...pardon the pun)

if you notice in the some the exercises provided by comrade>>28407such as http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/BackGeneral/DBBentOverRow.html , you dont actually have to be bent over...more streched out on hands and knees *across* the bench. notice how the guy's spine is more or less straight.

also, pullups.

fuck, man. I'm fucked up. I've the OP and I'm also the guy who said he has RSI in his wrists and has been weight training for a year to minimize it.

I can't do pullups. I can do 1 pullup, then the wrists die for a few longass time. God damnit. I hate this god damn shit. My entire body weight 150 lbs is too much for my wrists. I can handle 50 lbs dumbell cleans and press though.

Sigh.. I need 3x wrist strength. fucken fuck.

actually, i realized i made a mistake. pullups are equally distributed on the two wrists. so not 3x stronger wrists. this is much more manageable.

OK i'm done talking to myself. please, step up anytime anonymous. i am ready to read it.

Is it muscle, tendon or bone pain? The bones in my forearm generally hurt after doing curls, but I know I don't get enough calcium.

I can't picture the problem. When I do pull/chin ups my wrist is essentially stationary and the tendons holding my weight are further down my arm.

IDK? How do I answer that?? It's pain in those areas, when I do those actions. How could I possibly differentiate pain in bone, tendon, or muscle?
