      Really enjoyed Brian! I was wondering about some different ways to target my traps, aside from doing shrugs. Especially something that will target my lower and mid traps. Thanks for the content, Omar!!

    • @roberta6360
      @roberta6360 7 років тому +3

      Awesome video Omar! If he hasn't already discussed squat routines programming (frequency, loading. front squat versus back squat etc. etc.) that would make a great video.

    • @ramuloru
      @ramuloru 7 років тому +3

      I believe he did. There's a 3 part series where he discusses about Squat setup and cues. That's a great series.

    • @roberta6360
      @roberta6360 7 років тому +2

      Hi Rama. Yes, I have watched that squat series, but I was hoping he might do a video on the actual squat routine, that is, number of reps, number of sets, length of rest period between sets, squat frequency, progressive loading etc. etc.

    @aarond2753 7 років тому +13

    Brian is awesome. Thank you Omar for having him here again. I think he needs plenty of recognition for his channel.
    I barbell row every workout after my main compound for 3x10 at whatever weight I bench at the same RPE. If I benched 225 for 5x5 then I bb row 195 for 3x10 which gives me the same intensity but more volume on my back since I am trying to grow and increase my main lifts for my August meet.

    Doing weighted pullups first does makes the OHP smoother and doesn't effect the weight lifted in a negative way. Greases that groove I guess.

    Question Omar....some claim fasting (especially 24 hours) increases growth hormone production, sounds a little fishy to me, does this have any truth to it, if so is the increase that much of a difference maker?

    @TheRsEM 7 років тому +5

    Should beginners do barbell rows using tons of body momentum as Brian demonstrates here or rather do them as strictly as possible? I have no problems doing rows with 315 with momentum but even 180 as strictly as possible is very difficult for me at 147lbs bw

    • @krakonoskraken8763
      @krakonoskraken8763 7 років тому +6

      TheRsEM do both

    • @Kingofthekastle2210
      @Kingofthekastle2210 7 років тому +19

      TheRsEM if you cant strict row 180 but can pull 315 using momentum youre using way to much fucking momentum. try to squeeze and just focus on a straight bar path and recruiting your back. not weight on the bar.

    • @benjaminsmith2899
      @benjaminsmith2899 7 років тому

      TheRsEM Ive never used momentum in any lift and I was doing 225 by the end of my freshman year. Although I was always slightly more bent over than that, like when he was giving examples of different rows with 135. Maybe that made it easier.
