flexing your chest when your pulling?? back training is something that takes practice, anyone can just grab a weight and move it but you have to "feel" it.  I pretend my hands are hooks and i put all my focus into my back when im training it, all my movements are slow and controlled.

I sometimes get it after heavy close grip pull downs, if this is the case I would suggest going lighter and focussing more on hitting the back.
It hasn't helped...
