If you go to the back.. you will be using your biceps and chest muscles over your back muscles. Good Luck -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

But when taking heavy on this exercise always do in to the front since you'll be stressing your shoulders too much when pulling in to your neck. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
