@@vikingstrongman5903 on Renaissance periodization he talked about rep ranges and said for short range of motion exercises high reps is great. So maybe try to go for like 15+ reps
Stephen Santiago front squats and pin pulls definitely. Imo face pulls are good for mass building but because you can’t use a heap of weight there’s not a great deal of strength carryover (compared to the first two you listed at least).
@@Dr_Footbrake yeah definitely agree with you on that. Also, facepulls seem to really help shoulder mobility and alignment. My shoulder started giving me issues so I added them into my workouts and shoulder is much better.
Daytona Says What?! Try to keep your torso as upright as possible light Olympic weightlifters and squeeze your lats and you’ll feel it, when I am not as upright I don’t feel it... could be a mobility thing tho
My upper back is strong as iron lol. My squat is getting much better after learning good technique woth YIUR videos and other people that know their shit But my bench is still bad ever since my right rotator f up. So...
Just about every time I’ve seen someone doing face pulls in the gym, they are going too heavy and heaving the weight or just leaning too much. You want to go lighter so you can focus on the upper back muscles.
@@bobjenkins4925 I asked the question. I do rows, facepulls, chins, shrugs, band pullaparts several times a week and deadlift pretty decently. What Dave said about strength endurance is already helping. Being able to hold position any time I'm holding 800 or so on my back gets a little rough.
It depends. Slower negative it smart tho 2-4 seconds and then on the concentric as fast as possible is advisable. When doing facepulls or other smaller joint exercises going to fast just doesnt feel right so go by feel on those
they are good for static strength in the upper back because you have to not round when you are going down but the main movers are the back and hamstrings
How fucking unconditioned are you? Lol Or did you go ham and do like way to much. Do like 3x10 with a weight you can do for 20 to get them warmed up and ready to do their job, then train them hard at the end.

GRAHAM ELY You can. But isometrics don’t build muscle better than reps. Isometrics can be useful for someone trying keep strength, but stay at a lower weight class.
So much knowledge in only a few minutes. That's why I love Dave. He's the no BS guy
Thank you for the videos. There's something small that I take from every one. Helps me look forward to training. Happy new year.
Snatch grip shrugs worked very effectively for me.

@@Buttsorcerer lmfao
high pull with a snatch grip
I go with db highpulls. hits hard and good rom with the chest not hitting the bar, but lighter loads obvs
Why have I never given this a chance? Weightlifters upper backs are always ridiculous
Good for traps. Not as great for lats.
I love these table talks
Wow perfect timing. Was struggling with this.
V Shreds ad before this vid? Jeff Cavaliere, lemme borrow those resistance bands King
DAVE YOU THE MAN.
A good one I have tried is do an isometric band pull apart and hold it as if you were doing the deadlift motion
A video on these recommendations would be good
Rack Pulls and "Cheat" T-bar Rows!
I believe front squat, rack pulls, and face pulls are best for upper back strength.

Front squat? Would probably be nearly last on my list.

Id add zercher squats to that too

Man just do a bunch of rows, facepulls, good mornings and stuff like that. Such things shouldn't be overcomplicated.
My confusion is that someone would ask what to do about weak upper back, and not already be doing rows and facepulls. Some people are strange I guess
Right?? Just deadlift and row. Problem solved
Powerlifitng Ashen exactly👍

rack pulls above the knee
Heavy hang cleans
For these exercises should i apply slow reps or fast reps?

@@alexwilliams5587 thanks for the advice
Good Mornings where the first exercise that came up to me before watching the video....
Right or wrong to do?
[A]nthony Good mornings don’t target the upper back at all. Great for the lower back/hip/hamstring regions though.
they are good for static strength in the upper back because you have to not round when you are going down but the main movers are the back and hamstrings
cool but I literally tried doing facepulls before bench and I snapped my shit today. Brb weakening rotator cuff before bench press....

No love for power cleans
Usually too heavy and complex for unenhanced powerlifters but great outside of powerlifting I’d say
Probably cause they’re gay
Viking Strongman Wouldn’t know. Ask Louie.

Heavy shrugs
Jeffery Lord *light shrugs; high reps.
Strength endurance has to be there.
CocainaBlaze for a 1rm?
@@Dr_Footbrake Yep. In general.
You have to maintain tightness (strength endurance) even more for a 1rm.
CocainaBlaze would you then not be better off performing isometrics instead of high reps if building strength endurance for a 1rm specifically?
GRAHAM ELY You can. But isometrics don’t build muscle better than reps. Isometrics can be useful for someone trying keep strength, but stay at a lower weight class.
His technique is probably shit and not his musculature.
Heavy farmers and real heavy rack shrugs seem like they'd do the trick
probably rows, pulldowns and pullups too
Theese videos go the deepest
I need to buy more bands...
Also just maintain perfect posture throughout every single rep on every single lift will make a BIG difference
