Guys,
I'm already a big body-weight exercise guy, but I like to do both body weight and weight exercises. It's just a matter of personal preference, I suppose.
When it comes to back exercises which tighten the muscles in between the shoulder blades, however, I find that pullups do not really target them as it takes too long for them to be "hit", during which my arms or even just hands will reach exhaustion. As I said, my back is already strong, it just needs to be 'tweaked' to relieve pressure in my neck, and the exercises that my phys. therapist recommended are taking too long.

It was for that reason that I was wondering about weight/body weight exercises which might help.

Sterling, I appreciate the website advice. Does anyone else know any exercises whatsoever that target either the muscle directly behind the neck or the muscle inbetween the shoulder blades?

Thank you again,

Solid
