For middle back I like seated cable rows. For lats, straight arm pulldowns and lat shrugs. ANd of course the classic behind the neck pull downs.

Never heard that. but I can see why. back in high school this kid was being a dumb ass and was attempting weights he couldnt even get in his dreams. the wire cord broke and he fucking nailed his head with the lat bar. It was funny as hell. felt bad though his head bleeed like crazy

I have heard that the movement causes a pinch point in the neck or something like that and could lead to severe neck problems.,

and a guy got paralized cuz the cable broke... never do them behind the neck.. we tell everyone that we see do that.. if u do them in the front with the widest grip it will work the lats way better.. and also to lose the bodyfat down there you just have to keep working out and doing cardio... you cant be spot specific when trying to cut down bodyfat

Bf

Just had bodyfat checked 17.1% which is better than I expected, think I can get it under 15% by the end of the year, watching diet, upping aerobic and doing a cutting cycle

Not too bad for my age

Agreed, I have been told by many people including a IFBB pro, to never go behind your head whether it's lat pull downs or military press. They said it was a very un-natural position that puts your kneck and shoulders in a comprimising position.

yeh I know but

Hate cardio...boring repetative shit, unless it is outdoors, and where I live it is too hot and humid to be outside all that much
Have boner for food I shouldnt like...Id make a list but might make me cry LOL

Ive probably never been this low in body fat, but look forward to the challenge of going lower

cheers mates
