Freestyle versus backstroke, same muscles?

Are the same muscle(groups) involved in both strokes? My freestyle pull is going well, but I have problems to keep strong in backstroke.

  • Freestyle is all in front of you, or angled slightly to the side based on your roll. Backstroke is all behind and to the side of you, again how much of each is dependent on your roll and pull pattern. While many muscles will participate in both, specific muscles are more dominant in each. Do you have video of your backstroke?
