how important are they besides preventin injury? do you focus on the upper back more or the lower back? what are some good exercies if they are really important?

they are important, do pullups

[Smokin'J]

Stand next to a wall make a X with your arms infront of you (add weight if you want) and then bend over and stand back straight and keep doing it.

wide grip? narrow grip?

wide grip? narrow grip?

Wide grip and yea backs are really important, deadlifts help alot to.

Plank, wheel rollouts, supermans are all great for lower back.

[PunchDrunk]

Pullups shouldn't be done more than medium wide. A few inches wider than your shoulders. Wider than that will increase injury potential, and for a boxer doing them wide has no point, as you want to be able to pull back narrowly, like when you pull a punch back in.

Actually those are ab exercises.

[Salty]

supermans? your lieing on your stomach and contracting your lower back. The other two use both abs and lower back (aka core).

what's the difference between a medium grip and narrow one? would the narrow grip be more specific in trainin for boxin?

are one arm rows good as well?
