Love the way you teach. I get a lot out of your videos. keep making great content. 60 years old trying to stay in shape and there is so much info that is just confusing as hell. I think you go over body mechanics better than anyone else I have seen.
Very much appreciate your content! I love that you repeat the cues multiple times for them to really sink in. Gamechangers for me from a previous video and this one were: CHEST UP. SHOULDER(S) DOWN. I've always been a shoulder cruncher and felt a HUGE difference using those cues for lateral raises yesterday. Also (from a prev video), letting the weight PUSH/PULL me into the stretch and pausing. Thanks so much for all you do! Cheers! 💪🙏
Before I even start the video, I NEED this video. My gym is limited on back machines. The standard pull down, assisted pull up, and seated cable row. I have been doing one of your variations on the cable, the chest supported cable row, and I like that!
I don't know how Johnny does it every time he uploads his videos has catered to what I plan to workout on. I just got my Versa Gripps and working my back today. Great content!!! First time to use my versa gripps due to having issue with grips for working my back and you showed me how to use it lol.
Thank you Jonni for another banger as expected! But I've got to say this is a goldmine of technical knowledge on proper form and stretch of the muscle. One of the best vids on exactly what I was interested in💪🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻
I've seen that single arm low row before, called an isolational lateral cable pull or iso-lateral row. It works better for me with the backrest of the bench straight up so I can lean forward against it & out to the side I'm isolating, pushing my chest against the backrest.
Xlnt tip to push down! Just tried it at home with bands. Really helps keep upper trap from engaging which you don’t want. If no angle bench, you can use a two cable arm-style machine and just hold the other cable.
As always create content would like to see some upper and mid back videos using cables, pple like doing lats type of vidoes but not much on upper back, Jhonny thank you for your videos you by far the best with the best content been watching and learning from you for years. Keep it up!
2:15 I am doing this one, but both bench and cable are horizontal so I can rotate my body to maximize the stretch. If i pull with my right hand, I take the left handle and, if needed, I turn slightly my body right. Having a descending cable maye be usefull for more lats, but I keep my exercice for the end, so at this moment I had a f-load of lats exercices already, and having the cable this way would be weird to rotate the body. So anyway I think it's an interesting addition to a workout.
Quality video as usual and explanations and cues are appreciated. However in reality I would not have the luxury of time to set this up with a bench and cables. Be great if you could do this but not with such a complex set up.
Some people don't have access to certain machines, it's nice to see different variations and what can be done with cables as an alternative. I'll be using the chest supported cable row idea personally. The other row variations are great too, not sure why complaining about free information on the internet is necessary. If it's not for you simply move on it's not that difficult lol
@@KevinsKontentKorner Agreed, but I don't know. At least Jesse James makes funny videos in creative ways that come to his mind, instead of just making a training video and pulling new ways to train out of his ass like most do. How many tweaks can you make to a movement where it actually produces any noticeable effect?
That sucks, man. I’m sure you’ve tried it all, but have you checked out Stuart Mcgill and the Big three? I’ve got some crazy back issue too and it looks to be SI joint related, just in case you are still looking for answers - but respect that you probably have.
People with chronic back pain often have underlying issues that aren't addressed. Addressing the issue should be able allow you to do any exercise you wish as long as your form is good. I'm speaking as someone who has had cervical fusion surgery and had to rehab 2 herniated lumbar discs.
@@zdalling7217 i have a l5-s1 herniated disc that cramps the sciatic nerve. I have already got surgery, but it keeps coming back. basically 90% of what’s on the gym aggravates the pain
Every freakin fly-by-night youtube fitness influencer have all these revolutionary Ideas. I have no more time for it- it’s mostly BS for sake of creating content. Basic exercises have been around for years and worked for many people with great results.
Well, you could do pull-ups and barbell rows for the whole back, but some people love to do some set-ups in front of the cable tower and then waste their time with one-arm exercises. I understand more and more why 99% of people in gyms look like chess players.
Unilateral exercises are certainly not a waste of time. There's a phenomenon known as the bilateral deficit, which refers to the reduced capacity to generate force during bilateral exercises compared to the total strength produced by each limb individually. While in some exercises is convenient dealing with the bilateral deficit, such as in chest press, for example, it is advantageous, when feasible, to incorporate unilateral movements in the majority of your training.
@@javig9346 the theory sounds nice but in reality 99% out there build huge backs with simple movements and a ton of load … like I said: 99% in the gyms there looks like sticks for a good reason

Great exercises Jonnie. My back has never been as strong or as developed as it is now. All thanks to you and dad coaching!!
Again another great video, U R THE BEST!!! THANK U FOR SHARING!!!

Love this video it’s very helpful man especially explaining the stuff most ppl don’t when showing how to do workouts
Great video!
Great video! I never thought about some of these variations. I'll be using them for years; I know it.
I work out at home and have free Weiland cable machine. These tips are golden. Thank you Johnni✌️
really useful and helpful
Really good tips
I've seen that single arm low row before, called an isolational lateral cable pull or iso-lateral row. It works better for me with the backrest of the bench straight up so I can lean forward against it & out to the side I'm isolating, pushing my chest against the backrest.
Im 64 and love my 1 pulley home cable for back and tricep workouts.
Xlnt tip to push down! Just tried it at home with bands. Really helps keep upper trap from engaging which you don’t want. If no angle bench, you can use a two cable arm-style machine and just hold the other cable.
this is awesome!! i jsut ordered an rep fitness ares 2 and can use all the cable type exercises i can get for when it gets here!!!
Sup Jonni hope your week was good! Have a great Thursday 💪✔️
You just don’t know how bad I needed this😊
As always create content would like to see some upper and mid back videos using cables, pple like doing lats type of vidoes but not much on upper back, Jhonny thank you for your videos you by far the best with the best content been watching and learning from you for years. Keep it up!
“stop using machines and use this machine instead”😂😂😂😂 good shit Jonni
You nailed it
this is good idea. those situations where there is limited gym equipment too.
partay wit da cables! danke Jonni!!
I learnt the first excercise from Jo Lindler (joeasthetics) rip to that legend. This feels so good you really feel it
2:15 I am doing this one, but both bench and cable are horizontal so I can rotate my body to maximize the stretch.
If i pull with my right hand, I take the left handle and, if needed, I turn slightly my body right.
Having a descending cable maye be usefull for more lats, but I keep my exercice for the end, so at this moment I had a f-load of lats exercices already, and having the cable this way would be weird to rotate the body.
So anyway I think it's an interesting addition to a workout.
I love this channel because of the detailed explanation. Haters are just dumb af and then wonder why their lats are small.
I find it difficult to use my versas on the single handle because the grips rotate, so I use a v close grip handle since they're almost always fixed.
I started doing this exercise a month ago when Dr Mike was training with Eric Janicki
Solid tips. And hairline looking good home boy.
Could you do a video of some back exercises you can do at home?
dope content
Those Versa Gripps were BRAND new and no one tightens them the way he did. You just wrap them and roll it a little bit to tighten.
Quality video as usual and explanations and cues are appreciated. However in reality I would not have the luxury of time to set this up with a bench and cables. Be great if you could do this but not with such a complex set up.
What's going on my boy? Hey, can you do a core video, or do you have one???
Nice❤❤❤
what if my gym does not have that kidn of grip? also as per usual awesome video
Change gyms
@@sonora6702 we have 1 gym so no
Great if you have a cable machine and work out at home. Ahh the joy of not waiting at the gym😊
What is the name of the song in the background?
I liked this better when Eric Janicky showed these exercises awhile back.
Took this from Eric Janicki
is it me or this guy is reinventing the wheel for no fucking reason all the time?
classic pencil neck behavior
i mean every influencer does
I'm watching the first exercise and thinking that, geometrically, it's literally a pull down where you lean back more, but done with one hand

cables are machines… also, people with chronic back pain like me can’t use free weights… freely, and machines are our only options
Chest supported dumbbell rows 💪🏽💪🏽

Still great content
Still a awesome guide
One of the Best fitness channels' on yhe tube for free🎉🎉🎉
Thx much

You cant go heavy in cables vs plate loaded machines
Pull overs with D handles look too complicated
Use the curved bar instead
Good4
Nah im good 👍🏾
Probably one of the few vids I disagree with. Machines are there for a reason.
Agreed. Stupid video
Unfortunately can’t really bring a bench over to the cable area without looking like a douche and taking up lots of space.
Johnny is running out of content ideas.
Any lifting channel actually runs out of content within weeks. I mean, how many times do you show the same tricep exercises. Or bicep exercises.
Or you could sit down and learn something.
@@kimtollefsen4078 I'm 64, I don't need to learn anything more about lifting weights. But he is a good channel for beginners.
each video gives a different perspective. even if it was the same video idea, there always is something different to take in
@@fresnodarwindog not really. He's definitely reaching.
Are cables not machines? lol, most machines have a pulley system, I have hard time calling anything that doesn’t have a pulley a “machine”
You have a weird way of defining what a machine is then.
Every freakin fly-by-night youtube fitness influencer have all these revolutionary Ideas. I have no more time for it- it’s mostly BS for sake of creating content. Basic exercises have been around for years and worked for many people with great results.
But yet you’re still watching , stay salty 😊
IFBB pros are fly by night influencers?
It's a variation not a go to
Or just do pull-ups and rows lol.
Too complicated
