This is messed up big time!

If it was your lower back, could've happened from squats

If it was upper back, coud've happened from doing flies wrong, or if you did pullovers.

Why do you work your chest and legs the same day?

i get that when i overtrain my chest and it's sore...i compensate using my back. check your form the next time, you could be doing something wrong.

Good answers. No, I didnt do pullovers... but I did few flies as a warm up.

My lats to be exact are sore.

All I did was incline bench press (3 sets) 1 set of flat b press and decline heavy dumbell bench press.

For squats i DID 1 set of 20 reps... 6-12 reps for 100 p dumbell side laterals oh and cable crucnh (200pounds 25 times)


I work out twice a week and I can't do squats on same day as deadlifts..

I tried doing 20 rep squats before doing dlifts, but I was fainting and doing heavy deads didn;t work....

And 20 rep squats are so tough that I wouldn't be able to do them after heavy deads..... But on chest day, I can do 1 set 20 rep massacre....... so thats why I do chest + legs

My lats/rhomboids sometimes get sore after a chest workout too. It makes sense to me though. If you use correct form, shoulder blades together, you need to use your back to keep them that way.

Hum........I'm no expert but your lats could be sore from the deep breathing you have to do when you do 20 rep squats. Towards the end you are really taking in deep breaths just so you don't pass out, maybe your back is sore from your rib cage expanding greater than it usually does. Just a thought.

The reason your lats are sore is that you use your lats when you bench. When you push the bar up from its lowest position, your lats are doing a lot of the work. Then your pecs work in the middle and finally your tricpes do a lot of the final ROM.

Good replies all!


So I was thinking, maybe I should then do chest before my back day.... probably will cure the problem.,...

you guys are funny !

the Latissimus Dorsi is a adductor muscle it pulls it does not push !

While doing chest work you also worked your serratus muscles and certain rotator cuff muscles. Since they run under your lats and shoulder blades it just feels like your lats are sore.
