I'm getting married in March and I have a strapless wedding dress. I need exercises that target my upper back. Any recommendations?

    Chin-ups and pull-ups. As more of an accessory Lat Pulldowns, rows, and rear flyes.

    Here goes exercies (a few) I do at home with dumbells and EZ bar or Long Bar (i also have a chip up bar)

    DB or Long Bar - Dead Lift
    DB - Lat Pullover
    Pull Up - chip up bar
    Close Grip Chin Ups - chin up bar
    EZ Bar Rows
    One Arm Rows
    Reverse Flies

    You can build shoulders and upper back and alot more..
    DB - lateral raises
    Upright rows

    Just a sample... you will be amazed at what happens when you build up your shoulders.. Just FYI.. just something for ya to research and look into..
  • Bent over rows
    Upright rows
    Overhead presses

    You can use Dumbbells or a bar

    Deadlifts

    Deadlifts will work the booty as well

    Most people don't mind having a little bubble booty.

    All of these.

    Add back squats and bench (or floor) press and you'll hit everything. Follow Starting Strength if you want planned progression.
