    Years ago I used to bench press a lot and rarely trained my back. The result was that my pectoral muscles pulled my shoulders forward. I never took much notice until a physiotherapist pointed it out.

    They did say its easily correctable provided I work my back muscles correctly. What back exercises should I concentrate on to correct it?

    Deadlft has to be a must, you could also perform bar bell rows.and pull UPS should help work your back.

    Batwings are great for strengthening the rhomboids and mid-low traps, they've helped my posture no end:

    T NATION | Reawaken Your Rhomboids

    Also:

    Stretch your chest often.

    Do at least two reps of pulling exercises for every push.

    When doing any pulling exercise make sure your shoulder blades are forward at the start of the movement and pulled down and together at the end, even if you have to use light weights.

    Concentrate keeping your shoulder blades pulled down and together in day to day life.

    Chances are you've also got weak, stretched external rotators - do lots of light DB, cable or band external rotations as well.
