Why do I feel my pecs hurting when doing back exercises?

Why do I feel my pecs hurting when doing back exercises?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

The back exercises you mention all involve arm action – which automatically engages the pecs/chest area. For women the soreness is sometimes increased if we have larger boobs (my experience), but the benefit is more lift as you gain muscle tone. Just pace yourself and increase your effort gradually.
