If you want to build big lats, you HAVE to incorporate pull-ups into your back training routine. However, you want to make sure that you don't make any of these 10 common mistakes in order to get the most out of them - ua-cam.com/video/K81-SLUFo9c/v-deo.html
Why don’t you just say.. prone row underhand.. especially with a bar that has that dip in the middle so get more squeeze.. then high row hammer strength then cable high row then single arm pull downs and single arm push downs, job done!
hey man, would you consider making a video for people with herniated disc ? which exercises we should do, which we should not.. my doctor said i shouldn't lift anything besides maybe dumbbel rows but i want to keep hitting my back as well.. i don't trust his words that anything would hurt me.
@Spoon How do the insertions genetically vary? The upper lats tie into the humerus. The lower lats tie into the thoracolumbar fascia. The difference is some people perform the exercises with a rounded spine, other people perform the exercises with a straight spine, and then some other people perform the exercises with an arched spine.
Double Vision Muscle insertions DO vary depending on the individual, but muscle attachments (not sure if this is the right word) DO NOT vary. Everyone has their muscles attached to the same places but muscle lenght varies. The perfect example would be the biceps where you can observe more or less tendon depending on your genetics. And this applies for EVERY muscle in your body. You can see it as the same as the fact there are 7’ people and 5’5 people

Been implementing Jeff’s recommendations to my workouts for about a year now. Pushing past the pain and now after a year, I’m down 87 lbs and getting where I need to be with definition. Thank you Jeff and Athlean-x team for helping this mid 40s guy getting back to where I need to be with workouts and nutritional needs It’s not always about his biceps...but they are great
He has just reached the intermediate stage of lifting, it's going to take 6 months to add about 3-6lbs of muscle. He still has quite a few years of training before his peak. Check Alan Aragon and Lyle Mcdonald's rate of muscle growth.

Jeff, thanks for these exercises. I had no idea how weak my lower lats are until I did these. Even with light weight and higher reps, my lower lats are super happy. I now also know why my lower back area hurts when standing for long periods, the lower lats being weak. Mine have been screaming since I did these Tuesday night, especially when standing and leaning over the sink or something. Awesome add to my workout, thanks!

My Question: What are the most important tips you can give to all those trying to make their way into a career as a personal trainer /in the fitness industry? Thanks for all the free content Jeff! You're an inspiration
1. Determine the type of clients you'd like to work with. 2. Find out who the experts are in that niche. 3. Study their methods, attend their workshops, and take their certification courses.
You workout more than everybody else in the gym, then go home and eat the most, then you sleep the most of everyone, Repeat until your body says stop. Rest 1 day. Then repeat.
Probably learn, study, and listen as much as you can. Also try stuff you hear out and see if it makes sense, lots of PT come up with the dumbest stuff. Yet if you worked out truly once before you would know it is BS. Good luck man.

“Do your lats come out and stop here?” Yes, but they used to be non-existent. I was actually feeling pretty good about my lat progress, until the the start of this video :) Nah, it's fine. Tell me more... I want big lats!
Anyone reading this. Do really WIDE lat pull-downs and wide pull ups. You don't really need anything else for mass. Focus on those two, as well as the rest of your back workout and you'll be amazed.
Weighted chin ups and Landmine Rows.....my lower lats are a little bit visible after doing them for just 4 weeks.....i had lats just like yours had no upper or lower lats but now have seen small improvements hope this helps
@@bloodbath3658 Weighted chin-ups? I'm still struggling with 3 x 10 bodyweight chin-ups! Also, I thought chin-ups were more for biceps? Aren't wide pull-ups better for lats? Although at my stage of the game anything is good!
So I switch these up in the order that I do them. But I do my rowing for lower/middle traps first along with….you guessed it - FACEPULLS. Then move to Dumbbell Tripod Row(My favorite), Next 1 arm high cable row, then finish with one arm pull down. Doing a few sets of each of those 3 my Lats are absolutely Shredded lol. Absolutely Love these. Past 2 months I’ve been watching these videos I have gotten great results and can really tell during and after my workouts that I’ve worked the target muscles extremely well. My Lat,Traps and Rhomboids have blown me away at how fast they got huge compared to what I had started with. This is the first time I’ve ever weight and resistance trained “seriously “ and when I learned wth I was doing. Thanks Jeff!! I picture what my muscles are doing as I work them which may be weird but it helps my mind muscle connection incredibly. Your Chest workouts have blasted my chest as well. 👊🏼✊🏼💪🏼
It’s just awesome to have someone showing the right ways while a lot of people can’t get trainers! How do you think of going about working your side trunks or “belly”! Thank you!
Going to apply these techniques later today at the gym, Starting following you a week or so ago and already noticed the target areas feeling the my grind. Definitely enjoy learning proper technique, Can only imagine what my body will look like in the following months(6-7).
Jeff. I want to say thanks for helping me out with all the videos. I'm trying to get stronger while facing a disease that I will always have to fight. I'm getting strong and lean safely thanks to you. It's a huge thing because my disease attacks my bones and they can break easily. Thanks to your advice I can strength train effectively and safely. Thanks man. And the dynamic between you and Jesse has been a great addition. I can't wait to get past my recent injury and get back to the gym to try these exercises out. Thanks again man.
I'd love to see a video series rounding up functional things that help in sports. For example, increasing jump height, increasing sprint speed, increasing grip strength, improving your throw for sports like baseball or rugby, improving your tackle.... etc....
@@evanmarshall6204 Exactly. I remember as a kid i had really slander legs. Everybody was sayng I have girls legs. I hated this so went to the gym with my cousin. Was training through whole summer vacation to get them more muscullar. Then after I came back to school i was just amazed how my speed improved and jump also. Even swimming strokes with my legs got lot better. So went from not only being in swimming team but also run and long jump.
Always love your content with your logical, evidence-based approach. Jessie is a wonderful addition to your videos, who brings light-hearted energy to the mix.
Hi Jeff, just a general reaction from me to all of your vids :). I looove how effectie your workouts are, and indeed that you don't have to spend an hour on one muscle group in order to get them sore and to grow them! I am a do-it-at-home girl, don't really have the coin to get a gym membership, so I loooove when you do bodyweight or dumble exercises! Sometimes struggeling a bit still how to attack the back fully though, got a bit demotivated watching back videos because they often enough include machines. But I still have lots left to watch :) Thanks for all your videos, I love them, and I love working out, and your videos just add to that so much. Wishing you all the best and keep the great work up! :D Love, Karin
Hey Jeff I know you guys probably won’t see this but if you do just wAna say thanx for your videos brotha I’ve always had trouble building muscle and this time around I’ve structured my workouts and diet by watching your videos and I’m seeing results I’ve never seen before ! Great videos !!!!
Even though this video is supposed to concentrate on the lats, it is amazing how jeff's biceps really stand out and show us how incredible his biceps really are (see ex 2 at 2:40)
Great! I am not looking for a Super V-Back. But, a back. And, with poor back posture, I have difficulties to grow my lats with " classic " exercises. I need to pull my elbows back and tight to the body. I first tried some movement by myself at the gym and you encouraged me to keep doing these correctly. 🙏🙏🙏
(Coming from an engineering student) What workout plans/ideas do you have for someone who wants to get a quick yet EFFICIENT workout? Time is something I always seem to have short of
I'm back to this video two years later and I'm going to tell you I love you guys so much you are so hilarious and every exercise that you shared so effective🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hey Jeff, thanks so much for you're years of content. They really helped me through a lot of tough times!!! Does every day cardio have a negative effect on muscle growth?
Hey man, I'm not a specialist but depending on what you're doing meaning where you put more emphasis on it will also define your body in that way of course, so just think of a body of a general football player where cardio > muscles in comparison to a body of a 100m runner where cardio < muscles, you see where I pointing at?
My Question: Should I be feeling the compound lifts in the target muscle? I am a beginner so I am trying to build up my foundational strength, but I don’t feel the big lifts. Thanks for the great content.
@@TeamYouphoric normally that means you're lifting too heavy. A lot of the times it's good to just get good at the movement first and then build up strength
Jeff's channel is inspirational, he's a straight talker who talks in a manner that I can understand and implement into my workout. He has a great EDIP, he Explains, Demonstrights, I Implement and Practice daily, since watching his work I have changed so much in front of the mirror i.e. I can actually see the body shaping. You would not believe the gains I am getting from good technique learned from this Jedi master. He's a great ambassador to the United Nations of Gym go-ers.
You've done it again Jeff! I only have dumb bells and this is a fantastic improvement on my normal rows!! ...and ball friendly!! A big thanks again from "down under" Gregg .

I think my lats grew just by watching this video lol 😂😂, thanks for the tips Jeff, I can't wait to incorporate these exercises into my workout routine. Cheers 💪🏻💪🏻
*Question for "NEW FAST ACTION Q&A"* Does Overhead Press & other overhead lifts [even when performed correctly] compresses the spine and stunts growth? I'm a 16yo who doesn't wanna stay 5'6" throughout his life. And btw, *Thanks for all the great content so far! Video Quality has become even more awesome and so is Jesse's cameos.*
Aayush Jaiswal jeff jas made a video on this. But to sum it up lifting will not stunt your growth in anyway. The only way this could happen is if you severely injured your growth plates somewhere in the leg. Even still you should recover no problem. But also you can't expect to grow past 5'6, you may put on a few inches but unless you are a genetic freak you arent gonna be above 5'10
Listen to the Barbell medicine podcast: should kids be strength training. Really informative. But the short answer is that it doesn't stunt growth at all.
Jeff has also said if you’re doing a lift like a heavy squat, it’s always good to decompress in between sets by hanging from a pull up bar for a bit. Not required though
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a few years you are a very smart man and I understand your science and physics great job wish there was more guys out there like you I follow a lot of your workouts and I do great thank you again for all your videos
I have issues with back training. I don't really get a pump and feels like I'm just wasting my time while forcing myself through an unmotivated back workout and it feels like it's what's keeping my back from growing. What can I do to push through it and make the workouts work out? I follow the form I see you and other fitness guys say but I still don't feel it.
Kevin Almonte If you have mind muscle connection and good form you should feel it. When I started out 8 months ago I couldn't feel my back working. Once I got used to everything I could.
10,000 Subscribers With No Videos Challenge Same. Focus on pull exercises with your back and not with your arms. That and I started throwing it loads of pullups even on none back days.
i had that problem for a long time with my mind muscle connection lacking only with the back, what helped was getting extremely good stretch in the first few sets which at the 2nd exercise really gives great contraction and feeling. warming up with latpulldowns (rope) and just stretching the muscle at the top really makes my lats pop and then i can easily get the mind muscle connection on my rows and so on. I hope it helps :D
Haha brother don't ever stop making videos. Thank you for the humor at the end. Most importantly, thank you for explaining the way you do. It's clear, it's concise, and it proves that it's not about just pushing weight. Much respect to you and your family. Thank you 🙇
Love love this video! I am an AX1 and AX2 member and a bit of a fan boy but what I love about this video is that throughout this Corona sh** it's teaching me to slow things down and use the equipment at home that I do have. I've been able to perform this workout at home using nothing but a set of cable resistance bands, and my pull up/dip that I'm able to anchor everything to. This work out really fires up the lats and really helps with that mind muscle muscle contraction. You cant cheat and use other muscles as easy with this set. P. S I loved your piece too Jesse.
. I’m kind of a newbie (10 months). When I do a push day should i push all 3 heads of the chest tricep and delts as hard as I can or push specific ones harder than the other. Example I push my long head and lateral head more than my medial head and...anterior and lateral head more than my posterior head and..lower (abdominal pec) and then push the remaining muscles harder on the second push day. Is this a bad thing or a good thing? I did this in the beginning to help me learn what I was doing and then the proper form. Can I keep doing this? Your videos have helped a ton, you should be really proud of yourself on how many people you’ve inspired to get fit. Thank you Jeff.
nik Hey, the way i understand it, is that your training upper body push muscles two days in a row? thats not that efficient, as the pushing muscle all work together. I would recommend to not do all heads und variations in one day. I would just focus on the big compounds as newbie. When i got stronger in these, i would start rotating to get more variations und muscles involved by not training in a much higher volume (longer sessions)
ROBYGAMERG no no, I don’t do two push days one after the other. I do a push, legs pull x2 split. My question basically was whether I should focus on specific heads of all push muscles and then train the muscles I didn’t isolate on the first day the next time I do the same workout (2 days later)
@@C75903 thanks for your reply, since you're talking triceps, so just isolate long and lateral head and work the medial head indirectly? what about delts, chest, lats quads, hamstrings, calves, traps and bicep?
Hey Jeff, so in November I was in a pretty serious car accident. My arm was degloved from my shoulder to my elbow and I have lost basically all my strength in that arm and am having a lot of trouble gaining that back. Whenever I lift any weights I get pain in my elbow and I have a hard time getting a good workout in. Are there any exercises you would recommend that will help with my road to recovery? Thanks:)
Dude, that’s the sort of thing you pay someone for, not ask in UA-cam comments. Visit a physiotherapist or whichever medical professional recommended by your doctor.
@@victormutta1115 I have been having physio twice a week for months. I just don't do any weight related stuff so I figured who better to ask than someone like Jeff. I wasn't asking just anyone in the comments lol I was hoping he would see it and reply.
I'm a lat freak, and I use every principle in this video before I even saw it. Agree with everything here, this is great info. I wish I had this video 9 years ago, but you eventually gravitate towards the right exercises eventually. It's just nice to have it all in one.

Anyone reading this. Do really WIDE lat pull-downs and wide pull ups. You don't really need anything else for mass. Focus on those two, as well as the rest of your back workout and you'll be amazed.
My lats were also non-existent 🤣🤣🤣. But yeah now they are in better shape
It's more than the upper and lower lat it's also about the obliques!
They make the lats shine!
Weighted chin ups and Landmine Rows.....my lower lats are a little bit visible after doing them for just 4 weeks.....i had lats just like yours had no upper or lower lats but now have seen small improvements hope this helps
@@bloodbath3658 Weighted chin-ups? I'm still struggling with 3 x 10 bodyweight chin-ups! Also, I thought chin-ups were more for biceps? Aren't wide pull-ups better for lats? Although at my stage of the game anything is good!
Me : "Jeff, I did the lat pulldown exercise as you mentioned. Why do my lats hurt?". Jeff:"you've never used them before"
You’ve been living in a dream world, Guillermo
always impressive!
My lats tomorrow are about to be like “wtf you been watching Jeff again??”

Always been an upper lat guy. Just did back day with slow wide, underhand grip and my lower lats are SCREAMING! Thanks Jeff!!!!
Me: *BREATHES*
Jeff: That’s killing your gains!
lmfao, pretty much so =-p
Serenity fr tho !
You’re probably breathing with your chest and not your mid waist.That’s wrong.no need to thank me JK😏
Jeff talking like he ordering food from the passenger seat
So I switch these up in the order that I do them. But I do my rowing for lower/middle traps first along with….you guessed it - FACEPULLS. Then move to Dumbbell Tripod Row(My favorite), Next 1 arm high cable row, then finish with one arm pull down. Doing a few sets of each of those 3 my Lats are absolutely Shredded lol. Absolutely Love these. Past 2 months I’ve been watching these videos I have gotten great results and can really tell during and after my workouts that I’ve worked the target muscles extremely well. My Lat,Traps and Rhomboids have blown me away at how fast they got huge compared to what I had started with. This is the first time I’ve ever weight and resistance trained “seriously “ and when I learned wth I was doing. Thanks Jeff!! I picture what my muscles are doing as I work them which may be weird but it helps my mind muscle connection incredibly. Your Chest workouts have blasted my chest as well. 👊🏼✊🏼💪🏼
It NEVER fails😂 I just got home from my back workout and got on my phone before my shake and this pops up🤔
Me: Jeff, you read my m..
Jeff: I read your mind.
It’s just awesome to have someone showing the right ways while a lot of people can’t get trainers! How do you think of going about working your side trunks or “belly”! Thank you!
I used to find Jesse annoying but his "Jesse's cliff notes" bit is pretty cool. I like it.
Michael Jardine how can u not love jesse?🤨
Going to apply these techniques later today at the gym, Starting following you a week or so ago and already noticed the target areas feeling the my grind. Definitely enjoy learning proper technique, Can only imagine what my body will look like in the following months(6-7).
How's it going
Jeff. I want to say thanks for helping me out with all the videos. I'm trying to get stronger while facing a disease that I will always have to fight. I'm getting strong and lean safely thanks to you. It's a huge thing because my disease attacks my bones and they can break easily. Thanks to your advice I can strength train effectively and safely. Thanks man.
And the dynamic between you and Jesse has been a great addition. I can't wait to get past my recent injury and get back to the gym to try these exercises out. Thanks again man.
Also your the reason why I like working out man! I've lost a total of 40 pounds just using the advice you gave me, keep up the good work! 👍
I'd love to see a video series rounding up functional things that help in sports. For example, increasing jump height, increasing sprint speed, increasing grip strength, improving your throw for sports like baseball or rugby, improving your tackle.... etc....

@@evanmarshall6204 Exactly. I remember as a kid i had really slander legs. Everybody was sayng I have girls legs. I hated this so went to the gym with my cousin. Was training through whole summer vacation to get them more muscullar. Then after I came back to school i was just amazed how my speed improved and jump also. Even swimming strokes with my legs got lot better. So went from not only being in swimming team but also run and long jump.
Always love your content with your logical, evidence-based approach. Jessie is a wonderful addition to your videos, who brings light-hearted energy to the mix.
“Did I offend you this time?” 😂😂
Hi Jeff, just a general reaction from me to all of your vids :). I looove how effectie your workouts are, and indeed that you don't have to spend an hour on one muscle group in order to get them sore and to grow them!
I am a do-it-at-home girl, don't really have the coin to get a gym membership, so I loooove when you do bodyweight or dumble exercises! Sometimes struggeling a bit still how to attack the back fully though, got a bit demotivated watching back videos because they often enough include machines. But I still have lots left to watch :)
Thanks for all your videos, I love them, and I love working out, and your videos just add to that so much.
Wishing you all the best and keep the great work up! :D
Love, Karin
Use bands for home back workout
I like the summary at the end, some good, purposeful humor always helps.
Jeff wakes up goes downstairs meets his family and tell "what's up guy's it Jeff cavalier athlean X .com"
I'm convinced Jeff watches me train so he knows when to post these videos
Hey Jeff I know you guys probably won’t see this but if you do just wAna say thanx for your videos brotha I’ve always had trouble building muscle and this time around I’ve structured my workouts and diet by watching your videos and I’m seeing results I’ve never seen before ! Great videos !!!!
"Jessie's TLDR" was much needed, hope to see that more going forward :)
When you're here so fast even the pinned comment ain't here yet.
Jeff! Nobody ever showed this before. You are awesome! Thanks. God bless you.
Even though this video is supposed to concentrate on the lats, it is amazing how jeff's biceps really stand out and show us how incredible his biceps really are (see ex 2 at 2:40)
When he said lats actually come all the way down to the hips that freaking blew my mind
It’s true. The parts connecting to the lumbar spine are fascia tendons
Only Bruce Lee has those lats! No one else in this world has it.
Great! I am not looking for a Super V-Back. But, a back. And, with poor back posture, I have difficulties to grow my lats with " classic " exercises. I need to pull my elbows back and tight to the body.
I first tried some movement by myself at the gym and you encouraged me to keep doing these correctly. 🙏🙏🙏
6:08 I see you sneaking in that little chest flex, call it pop pecks 😂
😂
(Coming from an engineering student) What workout plans/ideas do you have for someone who wants to get a quick yet EFFICIENT workout? Time is something I always seem to have short of
Aryanatomy super-set that shit
If you're only training one muscle group each day, German Volume Training only takes 21 minutes. 42 minutes if you superset opposing muscle groups.
I'm back to this video two years later and I'm going to tell you I love you guys so much you are so hilarious and every exercise that you shared so effective🙏🏾🙏🏾
DO A VIDEO ON LIFTING WITH MILD SCOLIOSIS!!! 🔴 BENCH, DEADLIFT & SQUAT!!!
Jesse with the recap is an awesome addition to videos. I didn’t realize I spaced out and got them all after
never done the underhand-grip dumbbell-row before, tried it today, and i think that´s gonna become a new fav exercise. Thanks for the tip Jeff
Hey Jeff, thanks so much for you're years of content. They really helped me through a lot of tough times!!!
Does every day cardio have a negative effect on muscle growth?
Hey man, I'm not a specialist but depending on what you're doing meaning where you put more emphasis on it will also define your body in that way of course, so just think of a body of a general football player where cardio > muscles in comparison to a body of a 100m runner where cardio < muscles, you see where I pointing at?
Yes
There's a reason why jeff doesnt do cardio.
My Question: Should I be feeling the compound lifts in the target muscle? I am a beginner so I am trying to build up my foundational strength, but I don’t feel the big lifts. Thanks for the great content.
Try doing an isolation excersise for the main muscle as a warm up before the compound lift, also make sure your form is correct
If you dont feel your joints hurting and you dont do half reps, youre good
It's pretty common for beginners to feel pulling exercises in their biceps before they start to feel it in their lats.
@@TeamYouphoric normally that means you're lifting too heavy. A lot of the times it's good to just get good at the movement first and then build up strength
@@sethwhite4155 it's not so much lifting too heavy as it is hand and elbow position and just having awareness of the muscles being used.
Jeff's channel is inspirational, he's a straight talker who talks in a manner that I can understand and implement into my workout. He has a great EDIP, he Explains, Demonstrights, I Implement and Practice daily, since watching his work I have changed so much in front of the mirror i.e. I can actually see the body shaping. You would not believe the gains I am getting from good technique learned from this Jedi master. He's a great ambassador to the United Nations of Gym go-ers.

Me: breathing
Jeff: don’t do dat... you’re killing your gains
*Question for "NEW FAST ACTION Q&A"*
Does Overhead Press & other overhead lifts [even when performed correctly] compresses the spine and stunts growth? I'm a 16yo who doesn't wanna stay 5'6" throughout his life.
And btw, *Thanks for all the great content so far! Video Quality has become even more awesome and so is Jesse's cameos.*
Aayush Jaiswal jeff jas made a video on this. But to sum it up lifting will not stunt your growth in anyway. The only way this could happen is if you severely injured your growth plates somewhere in the leg. Even still you should recover no problem. But also you can't expect to grow past 5'6, you may put on a few inches but unless you are a genetic freak you arent gonna be above 5'10
Listen to the Barbell medicine podcast: should kids be strength training. Really informative. But the short answer is that it doesn't stunt growth at all.
Jeff has also said if you’re doing a lift like a heavy squat, it’s always good to decompress in between sets by hanging from a pull up bar for a bit. Not required though
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a few years you are a very smart man and I understand your science and physics great job wish there was more guys out there like you I follow a lot of your workouts and I do great thank you again for all your videos
I have issues with back training. I don't really get a pump and feels like I'm just wasting my time while forcing myself through an unmotivated back workout and it feels like it's what's keeping my back from growing. What can I do to push through it and make the workouts work out? I follow the form I see you and other fitness guys say but I still don't feel it.
Same
Kevin Almonte If you have mind muscle connection and good form you should feel it. When I started out 8 months ago I couldn't feel my back working. Once I got used to everything I could.
10,000 Subscribers With No Videos Challenge Same. Focus on pull exercises with your back and not with your arms. That and I started throwing it loads of pullups even on none back days.
i had that problem for a long time with my mind muscle connection lacking only with the back, what helped was getting extremely good stretch in the first few sets which at the 2nd exercise really gives great contraction and feeling. warming up with latpulldowns (rope) and just stretching the muscle at the top really makes my lats pop and then i can easily get the mind muscle connection on my rows and so on. I hope it helps :D
Pull with your elbows this is gonna be the best que and also do a mind muscle Connectuon exercise such as lat cable pull ins Jeff nipard explains it
3:43 Man, I guess those triceps didn't have enough room in that T-shirt 😂
Haha brother don't ever stop making videos. Thank you for the humor at the end. Most importantly, thank you for explaining the way you do.
It's clear, it's concise, and it proves that it's not about just pushing weight.
Much respect to you and your family. Thank you 🙇
7:30
Jeff's face 🤣🤣🤣
T rex😂😂😂
Haha LOL 😂
😂
Wtf
The exercise that makes me feel the most in my lower lats is neutral grip pullups to chest
Review by Jesse at end is great, its what I do making notes on video. Thanks!
Mr. JeffCavalierAthleanXdotcom, what is the best way to improve one's mind-muscle connection?
Ps: I loved Jessy's quick notes.
That's a good suggestion, hopefully Mr. Jeff would consider.
Use lighter weights and focus on contracting that muscle, he mentioned it in a couple of his videos, I think it was about 1-2 years ago.
Lol...Does anyone else remembers the time when all Jesse had to do was to stare at the Camera?🤣🤣
Love love this video! I am an AX1 and AX2 member and a bit of a fan boy but what I love about this video is that throughout this Corona sh** it's teaching me to slow things down and use the equipment at home that I do have. I've been able to perform this workout at home using nothing but a set of cable resistance bands, and my pull up/dip that I'm able to anchor everything to. This work out really fires up the lats and really helps with that mind muscle muscle contraction. You cant cheat and use other muscles as easy with this set. P. S I loved your piece too Jesse.

Jeff: So right off the bat when you're tynna develop that lat
Stolen comment
i'm still joking from “That is called the knee thrasher”😂😂😂
Wow did these today. The incline cable excercise gave me the CRAZIEST LAT PUMP I HAVE EVER HAD!
You know its serious when Jeff has a shirt on
He only uses a shirt to hold the mic.
When you're so early you don't know what to comment
I recommend everyone I talk to about fitness to watch the way you perform exercises. You’re the man✊🏿
. I’m kind of a newbie (10 months).
When I do a push day should i push all 3 heads of the chest tricep and delts as hard as I can or push specific ones harder than the other.
Example I push my long head and lateral head more than my medial head and...anterior and lateral head more than my posterior head and..lower (abdominal pec) and then push the remaining muscles harder on the second push day.
Is this a bad thing or a good thing? I did this in the beginning to help me learn what I was doing and then the proper form. Can I keep doing this?
Your videos have helped a ton, you should be really proud of yourself on how many people you’ve inspired to get fit. Thank you Jeff.
nik Hey, the way i understand it, is that your training upper body push muscles two days in a row? thats not that efficient, as the pushing muscle all work together. I would recommend to not do all heads und variations in one day. I would just focus on the big compounds as newbie. When i got stronger in these, i would start rotating to get more variations und muscles involved by not training in a much higher volume (longer sessions)
You can train the rear delts on pull day!
ROBYGAMERG no no, I don’t do two push days one after the other. I do a push, legs pull x2 split.
My question basically was whether I should focus on specific heads of all push muscles and then train the muscles I didn’t isolate on the first day the next time I do the same workout (2 days later)
@@C75903 thanks for your reply, since you're talking triceps, so just isolate long and lateral head and work the medial head indirectly?
what about delts, chest, lats quads, hamstrings, calves, traps and bicep?
Hey Jeff, so in November I was in a pretty serious car accident. My arm was degloved from my shoulder to my elbow and I have lost basically all my strength in that arm and am having a lot of trouble gaining that back. Whenever I lift any weights I get pain in my elbow and I have a hard time getting a good workout in. Are there any exercises you would recommend that will help with my road to recovery? Thanks:)
Dude, that’s the sort of thing you pay someone for, not ask in UA-cam comments.
Visit a physiotherapist or whichever medical professional recommended by your doctor.
Car accidents are brutal; I can relate. I wish all the best in your recovery man!!
@@victormutta1115 I have been having physio twice a week for months. I just don't do any weight related stuff so I figured who better to ask than someone like Jeff. I wasn't asking just anyone in the comments lol I was hoping he would see it and reply.
@@nicrodrigo4663 thanks, much appreciated
Research "Grease the Groove exercise technique" and it should increase your rep range and help your neural system engage more of the muscles too.
I'm a lat freak, and I use every principle in this video before I even saw it.
Agree with everything here, this is great info. I wish I had this video 9 years ago, but you eventually gravitate towards the right exercises eventually. It's just nice to have it all in one.
