My Back
Here's a shot of my back from last week (keep in mind I'm not standing exactly straight toward the camera). Critique please... and be HONEST.

Nicely shaped. Like the delts and the lats. It looks well balanced.

No erector development. Squat heavier, do more deadlifts.

Or do like most of us and learn to love to hate them.
The squats and deads are vital to overall development of a solid strength base and for the physique to continue developing without getting imbalances which lead to injuries. Still looks good though.

It's the ones that go up the spine that let you stand upright. They will develop more and more with the heavy deads and squats.
To get a good look with labeling, just save the pic and use windows viewer to magnify and look at any part you wish.

Alright, that helps a lot.
Oh..abarlament, I noticed you go to Ohio University. I live around 30 minutes away from there in Jackson. I'll be going there the year after next.

Yeah I know him, well, I know of him. I think I've talked to him a few times, but that's about it.

Close grip (parallel grip) chin ups, T- bar rows.
Once a week:
1. Close grip (parallel grip) chin ups - 3 sets x 8-10 reps
2. Behind the neck chin ups - 2 x 10
4. T-bar rows - 3 x 8 |

Parallel grip on chinups doens't put your weak link (biceps) in as favorable position as underhand grip. |
