Stretching beforehand

[Porky]

I've been having terrible back pain lately even though I've been on an extremely easy training regimen. It's mainly in my upper back, around my shoulder blade. Is there any sort of stretching I can do before lifting?

You should always stretch before weight training...and any else strenuous for that matter.

Agreed. Take some time off the weights for a short while and see how things go. Maybe you have an underlying problem with it, but I doubt it.

Take it easy, relax, and let it heal.

Can anybody describe the stretches I should do for my upper back?
