design a back/chest workout for me

[agswife]

Now that I'm not pregnant, I realize my back is a little mushy . . . I've got great workouts for arms/chest, legs, etc. but nothing that really targets my back. Give me something to do tomorrow at the gym - back and chest or back and arms (no legs - I want to try to run tomorrow and Friday.)

Bent-over Rows, Bent-over I Y T W with no weight or light weight (http://www.coreperformance.com/knowledge/movements/y-t-w-l-standing-baseball.html).

Super basic, but pushups are an awesome exercise to tighten things up. Sometimes I will do this simple set while watching tv...

10 pushups, 10 situps, 9 pushups, 9 situps, etc until you end with one of each

Similarly, I do 10 pushups and 10 prone jackknives per commercial break.

Glad I am not the only one Brit! My DH laughs at me but oh well!

Kneeling lat pull downs, shoulder press while standing, romanian deadlifts (do on your leg day, also targets lower back), push-ups, standing cable row pulls.

and i do a squat/pushup ladder, also at night while watching tv!

Grab a resistance band, sit with band around feet and row back.  I do about 16 rows, then pulse it back for 16 little ones to really hit those muscles hard.

You can also put the band around a door, whatever, face out and pull the band in a wide "V" about shoulder height.  You can do this with both arms, then 1 at a time to hit the chest.

And that's why you ladies are so hot. While I watch tv, the only lifting I do is lifting the remote or my drink/snack to my face.
