Also, as mentioned you can work them with almost anything. I switch off, one workout period I will do them with shoulders, and one reason for that is I like behind the neck presses, which hit them pretty nice anyway, the next period I will do them with back. Just a couple suggestions. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!
