Hi @Chris H,

Your form looks great. Try to avoid overthinking too much :) It is normal to feel it at the back and rear delts.

Thanks Leo,

what do you mean be normal to feel? I mean feel what?

clarification would be appreciated:unsure:

I meant if you don't feel it directly on the upper back and rear delts but you get tired overall.

The scalenes (neck muscles) like to co-contract with your rhomboids (which retract the scapula), that might be the cause of your neck pain. See if you can notice that and consciously relax them.
