It really does work wonders for busting through plateaus and when the weights just seem to "stick".
Hey PT,
I got similar problems with my back. I'm considering using the trap bar instead of the BB. The center of gravity is through your arms and waist. All your back has to do is maintain posture.
I've been hesitant, purism, but I think it may be the most efficient and functional choice.
