This guy flat-out has the best channel on UA-cam for weight lifting techniques/advice. He's to the point, explains his principles clearly, and has the build to back up everything he's saying. Plus, he makes me laugh throughout every video. Keep up the good work Ryan!
Been watching you for a while, actually found you from one of Greg's videos and I have to say dudes wrong about you. You give really good, to the point advice no cookie cutter bullshit and I've learned alllooottt from you. So big thank my guy, youre doing a good ass fucking job!!!
Why would anyone disavow training tips from someone who looks like Ryan? I follow his advice all the time, and I get results. And I'm 59 years old. Keep up the good work.
Literally went to the gym yesterday and realized my brother's bar was touching his chest during the lat pulldown and it wasn't happening to me. Really appreciate knowing why that's the case thanks to you man. To a gainfull new year 💪🏼, all the way from Trinidad 🇹🇹🎉
I started the leaning into and away from the pull down with the fixed elbow angle with just a band during the gym lock down after seeing your video before and I never made that connection before. I liked it.
RYAN HAS PUT 10 LBS ON MY BODY. Got back into working out, to stay sane durring the pandemic. Could never grow my back, until i came here. Ryan, you are the best. I went from 176lbs to 203lbs on Ryans videos.
I have said this before. I thought Jeff X was the shit. Man was I wrong! These videos are more informative, inspiring, en a hell more efficient than a lot of shit I have watched and tried before. Keep em coming Ryan!
It almost took me doing your back routine a few weeks to “practice” the movements. Wasn’t engaging the lats too much at first but the last two weeks have been killer.
✔️✔️✔️I have really struggled to feel my lats in my excersises and I tried these tips on my workout today and I've never feel my lats like this in my 6 months of training!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! ✔️✔️✔️
Thanks for the video!! Yes, please make the pullovers and 1-arm row videos. I especially have been enjoying (and implementing) your Tri-Sets. I loved your triceps Trifuckta. My triceps hated them and screamed during it but I felt it was great. I also loved your delts Tri-Sets. Midway through them my delts starting calling me names and claimed I didn’t know who my real father was while screaming at me to stop. Please make more Tri-Sets for the other muscle groups. Thanks again.
Mr Humiston the best way to work the lats is a rowing motion either pulling up to down or down to up elbows bent 90 degrees keeping them bent like an hinge and not involve biceps.A good machine also is an high row machine from top to down or a nautilus pull over.Thank you for your work.
Ive been training now for 6 months and I've struggled to feel my lats when doing the lat pull down. I saw this video yesterday and used your tip about not disengageing the last and of my god my lats where on fire in todays session!!! This has been the first time in 6 months where I've actually felt my lats and not just my biceps and forearms!
Ryan, you’re the master and I’ve learned a lot. I have modified one of your movements and thought I would pass it along. I attach ankle straps that are used for cables and attach to my biceps. I then perform a row. It takes the biceps out of the movement. All I feel are lats. It’s painful. Try it.
Hi Ryan. Have you ever tried to perform lat pulldowns with a pair of abs straps as attachment? I love this excercise which totally removes biceps and grip out of the equation, somehow similar to a Nautilus lat pulldown machine.
Great video as always! Here in Pennsylvania, the gyms are closed. Can you give us a video showing tricks to bigger lats at home with dumbbells? Thank you!
I pretty sure you could make videos about about absolutely anything and still have a great following lol Just the way you present information and your sense of humour, you could explain how to care for a pet rabbit and I’d still whack that like button! 🤘🏽 Thanks for the content man. On point as usual!
Try a Neti pot and use it instead of decongestants. Step outside your box. I swear by it because it works. Keep up the good work on this great channel.
doing these standing up, with your knees using the seat as support, Kinda like kneeling on the seat. It allows you to get a full stretch. Following the same movement you are tqlk8ng about but standing up
Love your video’s ... Looking to get some nice quality cable handles. Like the look of those D ring stirrup handles. Where do you get your stuff? What do you recommend?
I’d love a few videos on being over 50. Having had 30plus years of weights but find the recovery harder, but still want to train to maintain but also still get some growth and development. And so maybe way to train smartse
Revelation. Keeping the arms bent throughout these exercises made ALL the difference for me. It targeted the lats far better AND stopped the pain I got in the elbow joint from hyperextending my arms. Every other fitness instructor seems to suggest you need to fully extend your arms on the eccentric portion of the movement. Nup.
My forearms were falling when I switched to doing long (4 sec) eccentricss (which really peed my muscle growth) lifting straps/hooks really helped to compensate for that
Excellent way to stretch lats during a pullup is to raise your knees. You don't have to lower yourself and disengage your lats that way, the raised knees feels like it stretches your lats x2 or x3 time more. You do way less reps that way too. Do this on every rep, and when you fail you jump yourself up and hold yourself at the top of the pullup in an isometric hold with your knees raised. You'll be so pumped you feel like those chicken wing/fake lat walking around guys.
I definitely need wider lats. If I'm not looking like a flying squirrel when I open my arms, then I'm not satisfied.
FUCKING SAME I GOT A THICC BACK😭 but not a wide one
Laughed so suddenly, a big droplet of drool hit my desk. This is exactly my jam
vaild point of veiw
YEAH
You need to engage your skin too, lats can only stretch so far, the rest of it is up to your skin
I started doing lat pull downs like at 2:45 about 8-9 months ago and holy damn, I finally feel the movement and exhaustion in my lats. Great advice
He does 4reps in the time I do 1 :p

He runs a great channel and has the Delta beard to go with it...What more do you want for a bro building channel?
Great stuff as usual! YES, please make the video about barbell pullovers and one arm rows, I'd like to hear your input on these two movements. THANKS!
Been watching you for a while, actually found you from one of Greg's videos and I have to say dudes wrong about you. You give really good, to the point advice no cookie cutter bullshit and I've learned alllooottt from you. So big thank my guy, youre doing a good ass fucking job!!!
Greg who?
@@BeGrizzlyStrong doucette i think
Literally did that lat pull-down variation yesterday. Felt so damn good.
Why would anyone disavow training tips from someone who looks like Ryan? I follow his advice all the time, and I get results. And I'm 59 years old. Keep up the good work.
Side view of your Lat Pulldowns looks like a Nautilus Pullover. Driving with the elbows. Great video!
Ryan is actually hilarious! Love the dead-pan comedy approach that some may not even get. Good stuff!
"You have horrible decision making skills"... Yeah, that's what my probation officer keeps telling me.
Followed 2 guys on UA-cam for a year and just never connected with my lats till watching you. Thank you. Sub’d and told my buddies as well.
Just an advice
Stop following people as a primary source
Get your knowledge by yourself , It will help you know what's bullshit and what's legit.

This was dope definitely want to see how you do the 1 arm pulldown something I've wanted to incorporate for awhile
Dope...
I started the leaning into and away from the pull down with the fixed elbow angle with just a band during the gym lock down after seeing your video before and I never made that connection before. I liked it.

Bro I feel like you made massive gains since this video. Respect
I have said this before. I thought Jeff X was the shit. Man was I wrong! These videos are more informative, inspiring, en a hell more efficient than a lot of shit I have watched and tried before. Keep em coming Ryan!
I love the no nonsense approach!! Just grab and go!!
"YES, please make the video about barbell pullovers and one arm rows"!! I second that notion.
It almost took me doing your back routine a few weeks to “practice” the movements. Wasn’t engaging the lats too much at first but the last two weeks have been killer.
A video on barbell pullovers and 1 arm rows would be great. Hope you feel better soon, Ryan.

I like how you deliver your information. Informative content with a sense of humor.
Thanks heaps mate! I've been working out/ weight lifting and want my lats to get bigger, appreciate the advice! 💪🏻👊🏻
Feel better and take care. We need you!
The locked elbow technique helps a lot with my golfer’s elbow. Thanks
Been a subscriber since you were around 240k subs, well deserved Ryan, you're information is awesome as always.
Damn Ryan! I figured out this tweak and my lats are on fire!
Thanks for the video!! Yes, please make the pullovers and 1-arm row videos. I especially have been enjoying (and implementing) your Tri-Sets. I loved your triceps Trifuckta.

Yes - Pull over demo!! Great Stuff!!!
I have implemented these techniques and I definitely feel it more in my back than ever, much respect bro

This has been the first time in 6 months where I've actually felt my lats and not just my biceps and forearms!
Answered so many questions with this.... Thanks Ryan!
Ryan your videos are great, lots of great insight.
definitely would like to see the one arm row and lat pullover video
Ryan, you’re the master and I’ve learned a lot. I have modified one of your movements and thought I would pass it along. I attach ankle straps that are used for cables and attach to my biceps. I then perform a row. It takes the biceps out of the movement. All I feel are lats. It’s painful. Try it.
Guys have been doing these forever. search for 'strap pullovers'. works great for triceps too.
Yes please do one on the one arm row or bent over row! Thanks, your vids are awesome 👌!
Saved this to my playlist.
I love this dude. His sarcasm is hilarious. I also need the name of the song when you start doing the movements.
Kingdom Come by Theevs
Ryan can you do a video about the best/worst attachments/hand positioning for lat pulldowns?
thx for the hints. I always thought you had to do max range (many guys on youtube say that), i'll try your stuff tomorrow
Please make a video on the 1 arm row and the bent over row how to engage that back more because i tend to struggle with feeling it in my back
Would definitely like to see that follow up video. Especially for pullovers.
Just what I wanted for Christmas cheers Ryan top information as always. Great vids this year happy new year from England
Great video, just what I've been doing wrong, and I couldn't work it out. 👍👍
Dude I love those close grip lat pulls👍🏼
Yeah don’t go dying on us man you’re one of the best on UA-cam
Whata year it has been for you! 600k subs well done 👍🏼
Loved the video, this really helped me make that connection to my lats, thanks!
Nice Work, thank you for the tips. Happy New Year!
Yeah! Another variation of that fixed elbow pullup, the one where you can use a band as a self spotter! 👍
Keep at it!! Great video
Very different from what i was doing, love it
Why aren’t my lats growing? Cause I haven’t been to the gym in a freaking month!!!! Love your vids!
Guy always puts u n the best position 🔥🔥
This is a man if I've ever seen one 💪 love the vids keep it up

This dude funny fo sho. Thanks for then uploads bro. All good shit

On point as usual!
Are you filming lately from your personal gym? If so what equipment do you have? Can you do go over what equipment you are installing???
Ryan your freakin Awesome!!💪💪💪
No lie I’ve been doing the pull downs like This and it makes a difference
Rack pulls and déficit deadlifts for volume/pump are way under rated for back development.
Try a Neti pot and use it instead of decongestants. Step outside your box. I swear by it because it works. Keep up the good work on this great channel.
doing these standing up, with your knees using the seat as support, Kinda like kneeling on the seat. It allows you to get a full stretch. Following the same movement you are tqlk8ng about but standing up
The people who disliked this video, have tiny lats. Great shit as always Ryan. 💪🏻🤘🏻
How to have wider Christmas tree 🎄
Thanks Ryan. When are you gonna drop some vids about nitration 🔥🔥💪🏽🙏🏽 we are all waiting for it.
Who’s we? 👀
I do wish you would talk a little bit about the alternative style of training for those of us that do have to do the military Pull-Ups
I needed this video clicked on the notification immediately
Same here!!!✌️
Yes need more on BB pull overs and 1 arm row.
I hope you feel better brother
Love your video’s ... Looking to get some nice quality cable handles. Like the look of those D ring stirrup handles. Where do you get your stuff? What do you recommend?
What I "HATE" is how you allow for a lose or flowing form, not the absolute strict no motion movements people have told me to do for years...
Love your vids, and I'm finally getting some mind/muscle connection.. :)
Love the video!good points 😉👍🏽yes please make the next one 😉
Get well!
I don’t care what video you make, just keep making them
My back blew up when I decreased my reps to about 5 a set. That allowed me to go heavier and maintain form.
Thanks Ryan, great as always. Question for you: do you compete? If so, when's your next show? If not, why not?
He used to compete, but he got smart stopped.
Utilized the tutelage today. Great burn. Again, you need a great chiro, hit me up.
I’d love a few videos on being over 50. Having had 30plus years of weights but find the recovery harder, but still want to train to maintain but also still get some growth and development. And so maybe way to train smartse
I’m over 50 and still do his workouts. I just find I piss and sh*t my pants a little more nowadays.😁
Great stuff.
Great tips
Awesome tips
Revelation. Keeping the arms bent throughout these exercises made ALL the difference for me. It targeted the lats far better AND stopped the pain I got in the elbow joint from hyperextending my arms.

Great info! Thanks!
I always feel 'the burn' in my biceps when training back and especially with cable flys for my chest I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
So the only gym I have access to is a Planet Fitness. Do you think you could do a video on Smith machine squatting?
My forearms were falling when I switched to doing long (4 sec) eccentricss (which really peed my muscle growth) lifting straps/hooks really helped to compensate for that
Working low back after L4 L5 fusion video??? PLEASE
Awesome brother
Video on vascularity plz
close grip lat pull down is my favorite exercise
So is it normal to have your abdominal muscles hurt after doing pull downs? After doing this, mine are killing me!! Good stuff as always!!
Very much so
Thanks
Excellent way to stretch lats during a pullup is to raise your knees. You don't have to lower yourself and disengage your lats that way, the raised knees feels like it stretches your lats x2 or x3 time more. You do way less reps that way too.

good staff thankyou ryan
Now you know we want to see the other back movements
Just great stuff !!!
