    Yes the lat pulldowns is actually better for upper back ! I’m glad someone finally said it. The closer your hands are together the more it works your lats and the wider they are the more upper/middle part of the back it works. I’ve been doing chin-ups (grip slightly less than shoulder width) since lockdown and I’ve seen direct improvement to my lats

      Does a shoulder width lat pulldown work both mid traps and lats? I feel them on lupper lats/lower lats but not sure about mid back.

    Hey, I am a powerlifter and the way I did chin-ups was similar to your pull-down technique. Getting the full ROM in this upper back exercise was always a key way to getting a big back ( and deadlifts but only to some degree). So what I want to mention is that stretching the lat is always important, many bodybuilders had this technique back then, where they instead of resting hanged themself out at a pull-up bar. Letting the lat stretch. I also imported a technique where I pause at the end of the positive phase when my shoulder blades reach each other. Its really important to emphasize the fact that many people don't get the whole ROM while doing rows, they put on more weight and shorten the ROM. Good video greetings from europe.

    One of my favorite trap exercises is the rack pull. I used to be on and off with it but once i started keeping the tension in my back at all times, my traps and upper back started lighting up. Also helps strengthen the lower back and helps with deadlifting
    Another one is inverted rows. Flaring the elbows and grip really lights up the traps and rhomboids. Plus its all body weight so its easy to do and setup

    Paused the video to answer these two questions. My favourite upper back exercise is the inverted body weight row under a barbell set at hip height. I had to start somewhere and this exercise gave me the confidence to approach my upper back more seriously. On the flip side (before having watched the rest of the video) I constantly have to roll out upper back stiffness and knots. I'll even stretch my upper back out between sets..
    Edit: Ah.. see, I'm doing exactly what he suggests you do not do, very stiff upper back during the exercise. I'm definitely gonna try to allow myself to stretch out more on the eccentric parts of the movements.

    I love your recommendations. This is an area I dedicate a lot of attention too as it's a weak point of mine.
    My faves are chest supported wide grip rows as you suggested, Chest expander pull-aparts (I'm talking about that device with springs connected to handles from the bronze/silver age of bodybuilding); the vertical pull-aparts mimic the second exercise you outlined perfectly!
    Ultra wide arched pullups/pulldows are also fantanstic.
    And for upper/mid-back erector thickness I'm favoring Good mornings, RDLs, particularly with a snatch grip, in which the bar is allowed to "drift" away from the knees and shins at the bottom of the range of motion and, more recently, inspired by your vids, Zercher squats.

    I have a knot behind my left shoulder blade, but I'm fairly certain this has to do with a slight twist in my spine in that region, as it's been a problem area over a decade+ of lifting.
    2 exercises:
    - machine row with variable peak resistance and grip (mentioned in a previous video as well)
    - actually, one of yours! Your cable crossover exercise that is meant to specifically hit the rhomboids. I've been using it as a warm up/finisher for months. It's not a movement highly conducive to adding weight, as my form breakdown is almost immediate if I do so and I stop feeling the muscle, but this has been one of those exercises that has actually helped the knot I mentioned by targeting that area much more specifically.

    • @Rave.-
      @Rave.- 4 роки тому

      After seeing the video:
      - literally the machine you're using in this video at 8:35, lol. We have one at Warhouse Gym.
      - I love seeing both you and Mike Israetel emphasizing more or less the same things. In this case, scapular protraction. Consensus or overlap in those I'm looking to gain knowledge from is a good sign when it's the more technical aspects of lifting.
      - The upper back pulldown was more or less the next step to your cable crossover movement you were having people to do get the hang of activating their rhomboids. Sounds like I'm on the right track.

    Great tips, Eugene. I have a question about the first exercise though. At around 10:05, you mentioned the elbow position, and I can't help but wonder if shoulder impingement might occur when we raise the elbows to shoulder height as one may get from "behind the neck shoulder presses?" Well, it's actually 2 questions in one: 1. How high can the elbows go without causing shoulder injuries? 2. How far back can we pull our elbows without sacrificing shoulder health? In contrast, when we train the lats, it seems we can pull our elbows back as much as we can without worrying about the shoulders. What are your thoughts?

    Eugene thank you for this sharing, I subscribe because the tips are relevant, I myself do "explorations" of exercises to keep a playful aspect to the training which is source of assiduity and perenity...

    Thanks mate. Great as always. You mentioned some knots or pain around the upper back while performing some moves. I sometimes get a pain or you can say a knot on either of my traps when doing a barbell shoulder press. Is it because of mobility or flexibility? Would be much appreciated if you put some light on. 🙏
