Message: [QUOTE="bbbom, post: 592488, member: 16301"] Sounds like a good workout routine, I love squats but I've always liked to work my legs so now I'm concentrating on my upper bod. Those back muscles are probably your Lat's (Latisimus Dorsi) the muscle opposite your pecs - you feel them with pulldowns. One thing to keep in mind is that a strong core (abs & lower back) help in your overall strength and help prevent injury. If you feel that your abs are lacking but you work them then you may need to add some lower back excersizes - back extensions, superman's, good mornings & stiff legged deadlifts are all good as long as you do them in strict form. If you have a trainer let them show you how to do them. I like back extensions - they really emphasize the lower back. I also like deadlifts but they bring the hamstrings into play and I don't get the burn in my lower back like the extensions. [/QUOTE]
