What are some good exercises for your teres, the part of your traps that extend down your back how do you work those muscles, and what is your typical abdominal/oblique routine?

I cant due deadlifts or squats due to an injury
thanks

i would say pull-up's for the teres. i don't do abs.

trap 3 raises, shrugs front/side/behind. abs- upper/lower- weighted decline crunch, bends- side bends, windmills, twists- mid pulley twist, russian twist.

I didn't know it was called the 'teres' but I have something you might like.

Put a bar on seated cable rowing machine, grab it, sit down and do shrugs on the horizontal plane

Your arms should only serve as hooks.
