I returned to the gym about six weeks ago after really (and I mean really) letting myself go. So far, so good. Lost ten pounds, definitely feeling stronger and seeing a noticeable difference in the mirror.
I've been following the Body for Life weightlifting program and I'm pleased with my progress, but I have a problem with any exercises that target the lats. The problem is that I just don't feel it. Be it a row or a pull-down, the exertion and soreness the following day always seems to come from my triceps or pectoral muscles. I've been checking my form and everything looks right, but I just don't feel like I'm hitting the lats. It might be because I have a tendency towards rounded shoulders/slouching, which is an indicator of lat weakness, I suppose.
Any tips to really work the back?
