To think this is 2 years ago is just crazy imo. You are by far the only person who could teach me how to actually activate my lats properly and for that I'm forever grateful ❤️
Nice work Mike! The more I've developed my back, the less I focus on my grip; it's just where my hands are connected, because I'm working back, not forearms and biceps.
9:51 Thanks for explaining the rep tempo. I've been struggling finding my own tempo and a lot of what I've seen is what you described. I was following that style of staying too much on the negative and peak contraction and it felt wrong, for me at least. I'm having a much better time just contracting without "overthinking" each goddamn rep.
Hold tension at end points of movement will create more tension elsewhere. Get the contraction and let the weight length or shorten the muscle again depending on the movement
Love that you can explain everything so clearly in a way I can understand. I been training for years on and off. And now after major surgery I am recovering and dropped from 200lbs to 110lbs so I feel all this is overlooked by many and I gotta say training smarter is the best way rather than throwing weight around and not having any type of muscle connection. Thanks for the content brother keep it up 👍
Wow what a vid! The info and explanations alone! Can’t get enough! I will put so much of this into practice, as I’m deffo one of the people you spoke of Mike! More upper back and less lat! So thank you for some very valuable information!
I’ve been out of the gym for awhile going 2 year , motivating tips plan on using them, be nice to have the equipment like that in Arizona. Glad I seen this
i know is 14min video But the time i gonna need to apply or understand the information give Gonna need way more time to internalize is funny ,thanks Big mick,i waiting the training app =D A good one is About Training division and volume (do divide Back Lats/ Upper back etc)
I've noticed you love your machines Mike. What do you think of movements like barbell rows, deadlifts, weighted pullups, dumbbell rows, dumbbell pullovers for back development?
i think because machines did control "more" the things and moviment them free weights (i 31) I use Way more machines them free weights and if see he put into positions With free weight dont have tension
@@youokaybuddyfitness lol that statement is not true.... at all.... its the mere fact that if you are "building the body" and focusing on a specific body part during a workout, what better way to do it than to use a machine that is specifically designed to move on a plane that focuses directly on the muscle you are trying to build...
All those movements are great. I just simply prefer other movements. Db rows were a staple in my lifting When I was younger. We are spoiled at pure muscle with some machine great machines. Sometimes I forget to use db’s in all honesty. I will do a vid on dumbbell rows again.
How about what mike eats everyday . We know he’s not actively competing . Curious to what freedom he allows himself on diet and what macros he likes to hit daily to keep that size
I’ll be posting updates bro... lemme kno what you think haha... only doing it because I’ve been doing all your training techniques n stuff without being a neurotic weirdo in the process 🤪🤪😂😂👌🏻👌🏻... I just really appreciate you 💯💪🏻💪🏻 lets get it 💪🏻💪🏻😆😆
It’s weird it looks like the upper body is rocking back when pulling. It’s deceiving when you say your pushing forward with chest the eyes make it seem like it’s a rock slightly back
I’m speaking to people that are concerned with improving and targeting specific muscles and doing so in the most basic way possible. If it’s too much for u then keep doing u and don’t watch 👍

Nice work Mike! The more I've developed my back, the less I focus on my grip; it's just where my hands are connected, because I'm working back, not forearms and biceps.
Love this thanks Mike

You rock Mike ✨
How about what mike eats everyday . We know he’s not actively competing . Curious to what freedom he allows himself on diet and what macros he likes to hit daily to keep that size
That could be arranged. Ppl would be shocked. Figure girls eat more calories than me
i second this video!
Ppl will be shocked at what I eat lol.
The cable pull (last exercise) can be done with regular rope (if the gym dont have that attachment) ?
I would love for him to train me
in Big MIke we trust
“You might have to lower the weight a bit, as terrifying as it that can be” 🙄
Hahahaha
Damn Mike, you giving away to much knowledge for free.
Can we see mikes physique?
4:10 real treasure
No more bad backs !
I’ll be posting updates bro... lemme kno what you think haha... only doing it because I’ve been doing all your training techniques n stuff without being a neurotic weirdo in the process 🤪🤪😂😂👌🏻👌🏻... I just really appreciate you 💯💪🏻💪🏻 lets get it 💪🏻💪🏻😆😆
Pretty sure that's juji in the background 🤔
💯💯👍🏻
WHEN DAFUNK WILL THE GOOD HD SHIRTS HIT THE STORE! CMON MAN I WANT THAT WHITE ON WHITE N BLACK ON GREEN
I might be that rare one who needs more upper back lol. How do I work on that?
Just about changing the angle of the pull and the path of the elbows. I’ll do a vid on it
@@Noughtnowknoteva fire! Thanks bro! all the free knowledge you give out. It’s not in vain . Thank you for it
It’s weird it looks like the upper body is rocking back when pulling. It’s deceiving when you say your pushing forward with chest the eyes make it seem like it’s a rock slightly back
💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
💪🏻😉👊🏻💯
Wish he would explain it on equipment every average gym had not just fancy ones
Tell
Me the equipment u want to see. I’ll do my best. Or I’ll help u find a better gym. Or get u up to pure for a training session
@@Noughtnowknoteva ill fly to canada now 😉 just ment more readily accessible movements 👍
It’s a shame Regan has swapped coaches, feels like a bit of a slap in the face since you guys helped get him where he is now
He literally changed nothing about his physique in a total year😂😂
Mike wasn't Regans coach
I feel like Mike over complicated things sometimes.
I’m speaking to people that are concerned with improving and targeting specific muscles and doing so in the most basic way possible. If it’s too much for u then keep doing u and don’t watch 👍
He's not complicating anything. He's doing the exact opposite
Regan had no change to his physique. Well done😂😂
True just switched to normal coach lmao
Ok Scott. Go do some box jumps
@@wb7518 it’s true!😂 mike would try to discover a new better way to fo box jumps though. Quit trying to re-invent the wheel. Just work out bro😂
@@scottkarl3735 I have Merch coming out soon Scott. I’ll set aside a small hoodie for you!! My number one fan 💪🏻
@@scottkarl3735 Scott. I'm wasting too much time on this...do u even train. Keep up that speed walking regiment I heard you excel @
Why the f**k all good trainers live in Canada? Mike, Ben Pakulski etc. Spread across the world people!
Idk about that upper back Mike. I'm not impressed with their backs period.
