I have scoliosis of the spine. Its sounds scary, but its just a curve spine. Its monitored when you are young and still growing. I had to where a back brace at night when I was 16 years old. My doctor, back then told me to train my back to help prevent further curvature.

I have wide shoulder and its very very hard to isolate exercives for my inner back. I have tried everthing. My back was always lagging.

I decided to work on lagging areas in my body. Inner back, traps, and calves. I have done deadlifts, but only did them like once a month maybe twice. I started doing them twice a week about six weeks ago. My form and technique has inproved 10 folds. My stregnth has gone up ALOT. I feel that part could have been done with or without gear.

I decided to post a befor pic of my lat and trap and part of my inner back. Six weeks ago all I had were lats that just stuck out under my armpit and my inner back and traps were flat.

I hope in another six month or year I can achieve that turtle shell looking back. I feel I can, now that I have fallen in love with "THE DEADLIFT".

Im cruising on a moderate dose of test E only.
