Nice! The chest hook pull up thing is what I've been forgetting when using the pull down machine. Will lock this tip in my "Gym" notepad on my phone. Thanks Jonni helpful as usual and on point!
I did this last night at the gym using your tips, and not only did I go up in weight on the lat pull downs but I felt it all over my last. Thank you for the help !
great videoJohnni! I was doing my lat pull downs all wrong by letting my arms go all the way up thinking i was was getting a better stretch but actually was disengaging my lats. Thankyou for showing me the proper technique! can i do the bent over row with the smith machine? My gym Planet fitness doesnt have barbells
@@Dopamine-87 for some reason I can't do it with dumbbells it stretches my core too much, I've tried different variations but never been able to do it correctly. But, I can do barbell rows very easily and can do it with a lot of weight. To each his own, I guess.
Stretches out/decompresses your spine which can provide some relief. Strengthens joints in your elbows and shoulders and can allow for increased mobility in your shoulders. Should be dead hanging for a pullup not only gor those benefits but also because this provides a great stretch on your lats, rear delts, and midlower traps which has been shown to increase muscle building and strength through a wider range of motion.
Not only increase grip strength but the main thing is, it is suppose to straighten out your spine, low back, stretching your lats and shoulders as well. It feels like you’re getting a deep massage while getting a little chiropractic work.
Good mobility and joint health is the main thing but also possibly a bit more gains. I also like the fact you improve your strength in the most difficult part of the movement. Might save your life one day 😅😉
Ive Deen doing bent over rows with a trap bar is that a efficient movement? Being that hands are out wide. I find it much less stressful on my low back but not sure if it's doing what i want it to do.
The cue about pushing the hand down to better feel the lats isn't working for me. I feel more discomfort in my shoulder (especially near the ac joint) while pushing down. What i might be doing wrong??? Similarly, when using the bench as a chest support, my mid-low back tires and aches first and feels unstable, especially at the cocentric. I've seen your cable station video from months ago again and again but still no lat engagement 😢
Video came at a good time as I hurt my low back hopefully temporarily with the bent over rows. I mistakenly thought you needed to do the gut down kinda twerk butt you were showing not to do. Watching the segment through I guess I am not ready for them yet as my whole posterior chain is quite weak and I'm trying to fix that but I guess I went too crazy and heavy with bad form :/ Awesome tips regardless! Thank you!
@@krispbacon9474 I feel your pain (literally lol) I hurt my back yesterday doing deadlifts, I have been doing a lot more cardio recently and also increasing weight on almost everything so when I went to pull on the deadlift for the second set one of the deep muscles of my lower right back just had enough (I think it’s the QL muscle as I have pain in the hip and it hurts when I’m sitting) usually though, the best thing to do is not take time off sitting down doing nothing even if it hurts to bend and twist, you’ll just get stiff. I’m trying to walk and move more today and can feel it has eased a little from it although I still feel like someone is stabbing me when I bend over too much lol! Hope you have a speedy recovery though.
@@thepoomug5449 Maybe I had a similar issue then because my pain would also only flare up when I sat for more than 5 minutes. I did use the weekend and left out a day to recover but I do agree just getting back into it carefully and easily is better than just laying around. I wish you a speedy recovery as well if there's still some pain left and the biggest gains for you in the new year! 😎
What part of you is reaching muscular failure in prone grip? If it's your arms rather than your back then switching to a neutral grip to finish off your back might be worth it. It might also be worth just using a neutral/supinated grip from the start to save time and hit the muscle you're targeting rather than essentially adding a set of forearms/biceps
@ arms mostly/grip, feels overkill on the second set of pull ups. I’m just not sure My routine is// pull ups prone, pull ups neutral, bent over row, push ups too failure, then shoulder press then some weeks I hit deadlifts
@Moltenclip do the pull up variety which hits your arms less for 3-5 sets and then maybe give pullovers a go, that'll target lat width and a couple of sets of bent rows for thickness. Targeting you arms with curl variations will be more a more efficient use of energy
I think the thumbnail is an excessive statement and a click bait. The direction you set your hands should be considered as a way to improve the overall workout for advanced people, and doesn't matter that much for beginners that should stick on the basics. That's why machine are made for. And before talking about advanced and how to not hurt yourself, we should prevent the ego lifting race. But for people who aleady get it and want to test advanced exercices, then yes. The position/lengthen muscles makes sense.
@@guillaume4519 you def didn’t watch it he full video. The thumbnail actually represents an exercises i demonstrate that people need to STOP DOING. First point. Second, are we still complaining about click bait thumbnails EVERY UA-camr follows the same protocol and even the UA-cam managers ( which most of us have) say the same thing. 1. Thumbnail provokes curiosity 2. Facial expressions extreme 3. Evokes emotional reaction. I can do more but literally everyone follows the same protocol it’s how you get people to watch. If the thumbnail says EXACTLY what the video is about you the viewer won’t be emotionally engaged to click then and there and will most likely watch it later which doesn’t help said UA-camrs click through rate.
@@JonniShreve I was talking about the "title" of the thumbnail. The picture is fine. I def saw the content, since the rest of my message couldn't be deduced from the thumbnail ;) So we both agree this is clic bait. But we don't agree that everybody does it. Because it's not the case. The problem is there is a f-load of gym-tuber. And maybe doing like else "do this, do that", with excessive titles may not be the best way to be seen. IDK, this is your business and your decision. As a subscriber, I am just giving you an honest feedback. The back muscle visualisation was pretty cool btw.

👌 ❤❤❤ 👌 perfect
I can't do Bent-over rows because of my back, but doing them on a bench with 30 degree angle with dumbbells seems to be ok

@Gabru008 never tried with a barbell, not sure how much stretch ill get but ill give it a go next back workout 💪🤙🏻
Are there any benefits to doing a dead hang at the bottom of a pull up
Stretches out/decompresses your spine which can provide some relief. Strengthens joints in your elbows and shoulders and can allow for increased mobility in your shoulders. Should be dead hanging for a pullup not only gor those benefits but also because this provides a great stretch on your lats, rear delts, and midlower traps which has been shown to increase muscle building and strength through a wider range of motion.
The deep stretch im saying will increase range of motion and muscular stength/size over time.
Scapular health… grip strength development… and everything said above ⬆️
Not only increase grip strength but the main thing is, it is suppose to straighten out your spine, low back, stretching your lats and shoulders as well. It feels like you’re getting a deep massage while getting a little chiropractic work.

When doing assisted pull ups, if you used your knee(s) instead of feet.. how much of a difference would this make?
It might not put as much tension on the band since it wont get stretched as far

I would love to see you and hypertrophy coach Joe Bennett do a colab video together. It would be awesome
I can do pull ups prone grip then as another exercise, I can do pull ups with a neutral grip? Is it worth it ?
