Slow Down - Go up quick but come down really slow

no point in slow concentric.. but long negative can be useful. not a fan of 21's either...fatigue is no indication of effectiveness

Each workout starts with 20min on the treadmill and then 10-12 minutes on the Eliptical Machine. Plus, I get a "free" workout everyday walking the kids to school in the morning and afternoon (1/4 mile uphill to the school, pushing a stroller - yeah, I am a stay-at-home dad).

that's too long for a 'warm up' before weights. waste of energy and it doesn't warm up your cns for lifting.

I don't really work out my back (probably should, though) - any suggestions on some good back exercises (I have a bad back which is probably why I kinda ignore it).
no squats or anything like that because of my knees.

what kind of knee problem and back problem is it? I ask because some of these problems occur when people don't exercise their weak parts eg no deadlift because scared for back therefore blaringly weak back
