hello i was wondering,

i do a couple of back exercises like back extensions... but they seem to mainly train the lower back

how do you train the core musculature of the upper back?

You want lats? You gotta go wide. I recently started trying more pullups (damnit) and heavy free weight rows. Tbars work well. I want a roadmap back there.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
