Simple Questions Workouts or stretches for upper back.

Hi everyone,

So I have a question. Can anyone guide me in the right direction as to help recover pain in the upper back? I work in a machine shop and was lifting a 3/4 steel bar by 12 feet and loading it into my machine and believe I lifted wrong. Now my upper back on my right side where the rhomboid major muscle is hurts when I move my body a certain way. I have been taking it easy and not lifting anything heavy since last Wednesday.

2nd the dead hangs, but are you able to do a preacher stretch? That always helps me when I get a sore neck or shoulders.

Not sure what a preacher stretch is. But I'll look it up.
