    Barbell rows, pull ups(assisted until you get stronger), and deadlifts, that's all you need

    For upper and mid back = Pull ups
    For lower back = Deadlifts (this'll work your core too, which ain't a bad thing)
    The end result = a beautiful back. In my book this ticks many boxes. Good luck...

    Kettlebell Swings are excellent.

    Back fat is the hardest to get rid off, everything else has to be on point for that to go. Keep at it :)

    As you get stronger, grow you back, don't be afraid to have to go up a size in bras. :blush: Those wings need room to fly.

    My back is the first thing to lean out. Long before arms, legs, or belly.

    Handstand push ups. Go against a wall for balance and try them. I consider myself boss if I can do 3 but I know people who can do a ton and they are great for your muscles.

    And there we have it, everyone's different (which I should've said before). My arms, shoulders, legs all lean out first, then its a waiting job everywhere else. Hey ho, I guess my message is don't give up and stick at it. B)

    Usually 2 sets of AMRAP
    Then 2x6 depending on how many cries I get in those two amraps

    This covers it - all you need - vertical pull - horizontal pull & deadlifts
    - if you can't get a pull up you can stand on something -start at the top and lower yourself slowly. pull down will also help you get started - cleans are also good too - Eastcoast Jim
