By the way, what software do you use to show the computer animated muscle contractions when you perform a particular exercise (such as the lat pulldown at 2:46-2:49 )?
James, Thats a hell of a great video. I can't wait for next weeks full back workout. I love the way you educate on muscles. I have been around weights for a lot of years and after seeing your channel makes me realize how much I really don't know shit about working out. Thanks for another great video.
+Voy Munz Oh for sure absolutely 100%! I love this channel. Every since I found him my gym experience has totally changed trying to gain his "mind to muscle" connection. I feel like I have wasted so many years. I'm glad I found James.
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new! There's a reason you have doubled your subscribers in a week, potential to be the best fitness channel on UA-cam. Keep up the good work man.
i probably should but i've never done a shrug in my life and people i haven't seen for a while often point out my traps and it's all from doing pull ups. pull ups are incredible for back muscles. it's like a universal exercise that targets pretty much every back muscle. as little as 40 pull ups a day will get your back looking pretty jacked.
James is killing it on these videos, by far the most informational video content I've found on UA-cam for fitness. Your subscriber numbers are growing at a ridiculous rate. Much love brother, keep the videos rolling.
wow this makes me realize that I don't know shit about how certain exercises work and the way they help you develop certain muscles without using momentum. I wish I could hire this guy as my personal trainer.
everytime I watch a James Grage video, I feel like Im in a bodybuilding class. Absolutely love the way the videos are put together with knowledge and demonstration. Thanks for the videos! Great work!
No I can't thank you enough!!! I have been watching a lot of videos for a long time and none of these videos really teaches how to work my lower back and lower traps. I saw your video I applied them in my pull ups and woaw is the first time that I ever felt my lower back and lower traps thank you so much!!!! Your videos helped me a lot in my body weight exercises!
Just found your channel here recently. One of my new favs. One of the first ones I found was your ab video that pooped up as an ad. I've been doing abs for a long time and doing it your way they're always sore. And I love it! I'm learning a ton. Keep it up.
I ve been looking at so many videos of other people ever since I watched your arms video I have not watched anyone else you have a true gift of teaching these videos are the best helpful to me and my journey
I found this channel just yesterday and I am loving the stuff you put out there man! Seriously, your number of subscribers should be way higher than it is.
I don't know how to stumble on your page but I'm thankful I did. I did it chest routine yesterday and it was great. 20,10,10,15 felt wonderful. More people need to know about you.
Muscle Geek! I found your channel a few days ago, it has been helping a lot, both in my training and my clients. Your anatomy explanations are simple and elegant, which makes it easier to learn and understand. I'm an anatomy enthusiast as well, I look up to you as a professional and athlete. The tattoos are sick af, too. Keep it up, James!
James thanks for this series, by far the best bodybuilding instructional vids out there!! I have applied all of your techniques to my workouts and the difference is night and day. It has made me realize how much bad info is out there. Just wish your vids were around 15 years ago when I started
You and share the same philosophy when it comes to working, but you are a professional. I have learned so much from you and I just started watching your videos. You have a great attitude I see why you are successful. Thanks James.
I am completely blown away with your videos! I plan to tell all of buddies about your channel. I wish I could have learned all I have from your videos years ago. But I am very excited to try out all I have learned. Back day today! Thanks, keep the videos coming!
I never knew the back had so many muscles in it. Such great knowledge I have a whole different perspective at the gym during my workouts now, instead of slinging a bunch of weight around like you've said before I actually end my workouts more exhausted with lighter weight and full mind to muscle focus. Thank you man!!
Great info and I love how you incorporate Mr. Bones and the 3-D movement examples. Great production and explanation. Looking forward to the complete workout and breakdown in the description.
James, I started watching your videos a few weeks back and these advanced training ones really caught my attention. The approach you have on explaining how each muscle functions and what exercises are suitable for targeting them couldn't be better. I've learned a few things but the greatest thing I've got out of these videos is that they made me go back and really focus on the mind body connection. I reevaluated my training, focused on zoning out everything but what my body is telling me, and I haven't felt better in and out of the gym since I started 2 1/2 years ago. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to put these proper videos together for the public. I really enjoy learning from them, keep em coming!
I'm normally not the kind of dude that would buy merch and clothing from a fitness or sports nutrition brand or whatever. But after watching your vids and getting some knowledge, i'd actually be proud to wear some muscle geek shirt or tank. James grage, you deserve our support more than anyone. Big props and respect to you. A role model in the fitness industry who is genuine , and doesn't let ego get in his way.
Man I've never come across someone so informative. Please don't ever stop lol. I'm ready for the complete back video. That I did the shoulders workout today and It was pretty awesome. Can you shed some light on a work out split or weekly routine? As of now I just do one muscle group a day. And I'm anxious to hear about your thoughts in dieting as well. You're awesome man!
Love your philosophy on training smarter rather than harder, I have gone to university just to learn more about the body so that I can apply it into the field of fitness. Keep up the great content
I watched your video about building lats i.e. width of the back; and whenever I'm at gym hitting back, I apply the advice you gave and it was so much beneficial , so thank you man!
Love this channel and i am glad that i found it. James tips, how you do the exercies has helped me alot and i get a greap pump and development from his exercises.
Great job, I didn't have a chance to view rest of your videos yet but overall your concept and the way you explain each exercise session is excellent. Keep up the great work.
James, Your videos are 100% awesome! Very detailed, to the point, no BS, and genuine! Thank you for your words of wisdom! I do have a question.. Legs!? When will you get into building strong legs?! I'm sure you will as you continue your training videos. Again thank you for all you do.
Dude. Been training for 5 years and I would say I was advanced...after watching your videos and learning the anatomy and what the muscles are for why, I felt like I've known nothing and been training with my eyes closed! Been implementing some of your tips and training into my routine and seeing benefits almost straight away!!! Best fitness channel on UA-cam hands down. Thanks James 😁
I've implemented your advice (from this and other vids) in my last few work outs, and experienced a way better burn in my muscles. I feel like i'm getting a way better work out thanks to you, thank you so much man!
I just want to thank you for actually breakin down each exercise and explaining how the muscle groups work. you have me going to the gym more motivated then ever. thank you. Also look forward for more videos from you and can please do a video on legs. ps. I'm take your Bpi b4 products and it is giving me a lot of energy. I am loving this product.
