Cool Cardio (DPP style) that mainly targetz de' Back!?!

Hey whats up people? i was just wondering if you guys could recommend any type of cardio that will specifically target the back muscles. Right now the only ones that i know of that really works the back (or were the back muscles are the main ones being utilized) is the following:

*Swimming*
Rope climbing
Rowing
Med ball throwing

thats all i can really think of that would in a way simulate the actions needed to hit the back muscles. Right now the one im in favor of is swimming. I plan on using something that is foam-like to increase resistance (and maybe ankled ones) to get a lil bit more intense wit it.....that is if i choose to do swimming.

The main reason why im asking this is because i want to implement a form of cardio that will (like i said earlier) hit the back (and hopefully other upper body muscles as well) so that i can do this the day after upper body/back days in persuit of reducing DOMS, aides in recovery, and as a sort of GPP training.

One example of a GPP type training that im going to do after leg days is sled pulling. Power lifters should know bout that one. Anyways, So far I think swimming (de' Breast stroke ......and the de' butterfly stroke i suppose....ohh and also freestyle stroke) would be the best for upper body.

So tell me what you guys think would be the best out of those options or can you throw in a new option maybe something that you do for cardio that might work those muscles or something in general that you do for DPP? Iight people thanx in advance.......wHooP wHooP!

what major muscles would come into play? just triceps, chest, trunk maybe....? is that all? I was actually thinking about doing the heavy bag thing but i haven't decided whether or not i want it to be conveniance wise or go to wise (like having to go to a special area to do it vs. being able to do it at my home or just around the corner).

OK, I'm being a smartass, but really, the back is a "work" muscle group. If you want to make cardio out of it, just go do high rep row sets at the gym, or at home.

The whole idea of it is for it to be used as GPP (messed up the title). Here's a link for what GPP is about just incase if you don't know.

http://www.wannabebigforums.com/showthread.php?t=77152

If you do know then you should know about the sled pulling and its effects on the legs when done after training day, and assuming u know that then u'd understand what im trying to do here.....if not then mybad for the confusion......

and what would be the point of doing a regular back workout then the very next day doing another back workout for high reps? it just wouldn't be the same as GPP, plus um not a very good bright idea.... But like i said earlier it would mimick the effect that sled pulling has on the legs but for the upper body.

Here is one of the basics that would pretty much go againse doing the high rep after the back work out as u suggested....

(this is taken from the link that i provided)

- All exercises outside of your competitive sport are GPP exercises. A powerlifter probably won’t do squats and deadlifts as GPP, but a baseball player might. If you don’t play sports, everything is GPP. The list is only limited by your imagination.

Get it, got it, good.... any others?

P.s. the list that u have is kinda good but none would really be convenient for my individual needs....need something that could be done consistently without certain factors having to be at rest or in play. Like um the grass having to be high, or there having to be would around, or the carpet having to be dirty, get the picture? those things can't be kept at a constant but a gym being where it is open at a certain time can so that would be more convenient...but anyways thanx for the list thought. The only one that i might consider is the rowing, but more so with the air rowing machine at a gym.

High rep cleans and snatches are great cardio that really work the legs and back.
