 | Push and Pull I understand the importance of performing 'push' and 'pull' motions during exercise to work the muscles evenly and obtain a balance, but is there methods of exercising both muscles - for example pushups? Or should each type be performed independantly for maximum results? Reason is that my chest is overtaking my back and im beginning to look hunched.

  | Re: Push and Pull Push = Bench press, chest press, dumbell press, incline press, decline press. Pull = Seated rows, bent over rows, one arm rows. The list isn't exhausted but you get the picture  SD

Yes, pulling is a stronger movement IMO. Let's face it, our back is a bigger bodypart than our chests...
