[QUOTE="Veul, post: 1061532, member: 12986"] @kaotic, don't know the extent of your back problems but what helped me out on the last months was actually starting Deadlift and squats. For years my back routine would be only seated row and lateral pull down, even those would leave me barely walking. For legs I would do only extensions and some high resistance elliptical. I have double scoliosis, hip malformation , worn out knees etc. After some reading I decided to lower the weight on seated row keep the core tight and stop the reps like 3 less than failure. I incorporated dead lifts and squats starting from really low weights. Same principle whenever I felt my back was starting to arch or that the rep was getting too hard I would stop immediately . Been progressing the weights on the last 4 months and only time I got an issue was when I did one more rep than I should in Deadlift. Also do once per week some exercises for hips on swiss ball and some hyper extensions.
