Body balancing. Need some advice.
    #23806751 - 11/06/16 02:07 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I feel like everything I do with my arms just works out my shoulder / back area. I'm benching like mad but still feel like my back is bigger.

Are there any other exercises to balance out this problem?

This may not align with your goals, so feel free to disregard:

I personally try to stay away from isolation exercises (most machines) and stick to bodyweight to keep everything roughly balanced. Pull ups, push ups, sit ups, that kind of thing. I use dumbbells for a curl/backwards curl/side/military press combo for a general arm workout, and a rowing machine for pretty much everything else not mentioned above. I only train for endurance and density though, I'm not trying to gain mass.

Have you tried using dumbbells instead of the bar for pressing? I prefer dumbells as it forces you to stabilize more so than bars if that makes sense. I usually go down a little in weight vs the bar but it seems to offer a nice burn.  :2cents:

That's all I use.

Yeah. You're prolly right though.

I think 'isolating' muscles fucks you up.

Maybe a tomb-like door made out of stone? heh, I'll try that though...
