Yeah, don't want to mess up the shoulders. They are feeling the best they have in years. I used to do what I call weighted leg raises (I'm not sure if there is an actual name for these). I'd lie on a bench with my legs extending off the end. I'd hold a DB between my feet and then raise my legs 6-8" for 8 reps. Seemed like a good exercise and I'm not sure why I stopped doing them. Does this sound like something that is 'back friendly'?
