If you want to build big lats, you HAVE to incorporate pull-ups into your back training routine. However, you want to make sure that you don't make any of these 10 common mistakes in order to get the most out of them - ruclips.net/video/K81-SLUFo9c/видео.html
Why don’t you just say.. prone row underhand.. especially with a bar that has that dip in the middle so get more squeeze.. then high row hammer strength then cable high row then single arm pull downs and single arm push downs, job done!
hey man, would you consider making a video for people with herniated disc ? which exercises we should do, which we should not.. my doctor said i shouldn't lift anything besides maybe dumbbel rows but i want to keep hitting my back as well.. i don't trust his words that anything would hurt me.
@Spoon How do the insertions genetically vary? The upper lats tie into the humerus. The lower lats tie into the thoracolumbar fascia. The difference is some people perform the exercises with a rounded spine, other people perform the exercises with a straight spine, and then some other people perform the exercises with an arched spine.
Double Vision Muscle insertions DO vary depending on the individual, but muscle attachments (not sure if this is the right word) DO NOT vary. Everyone has their muscles attached to the same places but muscle lenght varies. The perfect example would be the biceps where you can observe more or less tendon depending on your genetics. And this applies for EVERY muscle in your body. You can see it as the same as the fact there are 7’ people and 5’5 people

He has just reached the intermediate stage of lifting, it's going to take 6 months to add about 3-6lbs of muscle. He still has quite a few years of training before his peak. Check Alan Aragon and Lyle Mcdonald's rate of muscle growth.

You workout more than everybody else in the gym, then go home and eat the most, then you sleep the most of everyone, Repeat until your body says stop. Rest 1 day. Then repeat.
Probably learn, study, and listen as much as you can. Also try stuff you hear out and see if it makes sense, lots of PT come up with the dumbest stuff. Yet if you worked out truly once before you would know it is BS. Good luck man.
“Do your lats come out and stop here?” Yes, but they used to be non-existent. I was actually feeling pretty good about my lat progress, until the the start of this video :) Nah, it's fine. Tell me more... I want big lats!
Anyone reading this. Do really WIDE lat pull-downs and wide pull ups. You don't really need anything else for mass. Focus on those two, as well as the rest of your back workout and you'll be amazed.
Weighted chin ups and Landmine Rows.....my lower lats are a little bit visible after doing them for just 4 weeks.....i had lats just like yours had no upper or lower lats but now have seen small improvements hope this helps
@@bloodbath3658 Weighted chin-ups? I'm still struggling with 3 x 10 bodyweight chin-ups! Also, I thought chin-ups were more for biceps? Aren't wide pull-ups better for lats? Although at my stage of the game anything is good!
Jeff’s workouts tips have helped me do so much more workout without getting injured. A lot of other body builder youtubers don’t have his level of expertise when it comes to physiotherapy. Listen to him!
I'd love to see a video series rounding up functional things that help in sports. For example, increasing jump height, increasing sprint speed, increasing grip strength, improving your throw for sports like baseball or rugby, improving your tackle.... etc....
@@evanmarshall6204 Exactly. I remember as a kid i had really slander legs. Everybody was sayng I have girls legs. I hated this so went to the gym with my cousin. Was training through whole summer vacation to get them more muscullar. Then after I came back to school i was just amazed how my speed improved and jump also. Even swimming strokes with my legs got lot better. So went from not only being in swimming team but also run and long jump.
Always love your content with your logical, evidence-based approach. Jessie is a wonderful addition to your videos, who brings light-hearted energy to the mix.
Jeff's channel is inspirational, he's a straight talker who talks in a manner that I can understand and implement into my workout. He has a great EDIP, he Explains, Demonstrights, I Implement and Practice daily, since watching his work I have changed so much in front of the mirror i.e. I can actually see the body shaping. You would not believe the gains I am getting from good technique learned from this Jedi master. He's a great ambassador to the United Nations of Gym go-ers.
Hey Jeff I know you guys probably won’t see this but if you do just wAna say thanx for your videos brotha I’ve always had trouble building muscle and this time around I’ve structured my workouts and diet by watching your videos and I’m seeing results I’ve never seen before ! Great videos !!!!
So I switch these up in the order that I do them. But I do my rowing for lower/middle traps first along with….you guessed it - FACEPULLS. Then move to Dumbbell Tripod Row(My favorite), Next 1 arm high cable row, then finish with one arm pull down. Doing a few sets of each of those 3 my Lats are absolutely Shredded lol. Absolutely Love these. Past 2 months I’ve been watching these videos I have gotten great results and can really tell during and after my workouts that I’ve worked the target muscles extremely well. My Lat,Traps and Rhomboids have blown me away at how fast they got huge compared to what I had started with. This is the first time I’ve ever weight and resistance trained “seriously “ and when I learned wth I was doing. Thanks Jeff!! I picture what my muscles are doing as I work them which may be weird but it helps my mind muscle connection incredibly. Your Chest workouts have blasted my chest as well. 👊🏼✊🏼💪🏼
Jeff. I want to say thanks for helping me out with all the videos. I'm trying to get stronger while facing a disease that I will always have to fight. I'm getting strong and lean safely thanks to you. It's a huge thing because my disease attacks my bones and they can break easily. Thanks to your advice I can strength train effectively and safely. Thanks man. And the dynamic between you and Jesse has been a great addition. I can't wait to get past my recent injury and get back to the gym to try these exercises out. Thanks again man.
Going to apply these techniques later today at the gym, Starting following you a week or so ago and already noticed the target areas feeling the my grind. Definitely enjoy learning proper technique, Can only imagine what my body will look like in the following months(6-7).
It’s just awesome to have someone showing the right ways while a lot of people can’t get trainers! How do you think of going about working your side trunks or “belly”! Thank you!
I have issues with back training. I don't really get a pump and feels like I'm just wasting my time while forcing myself through an unmotivated back workout and it feels like it's what's keeping my back from growing. What can I do to push through it and make the workouts work out? I follow the form I see you and other fitness guys say but I still don't feel it.
Kevin Almonte If you have mind muscle connection and good form you should feel it. When I started out 8 months ago I couldn't feel my back working. Once I got used to everything I could.
10,000 Subscribers With No Videos Challenge Same. Focus on pull exercises with your back and not with your arms. That and I started throwing it loads of pullups even on none back days.
i had that problem for a long time with my mind muscle connection lacking only with the back, what helped was getting extremely good stretch in the first few sets which at the 2nd exercise really gives great contraction and feeling. warming up with latpulldowns (rope) and just stretching the muscle at the top really makes my lats pop and then i can easily get the mind muscle connection on my rows and so on. I hope it helps :D
Haha brother don't ever stop making videos. Thank you for the humor at the end. Most importantly, thank you for explaining the way you do. It's clear, it's concise, and it proves that it's not about just pushing weight. Much respect to you and your family. Thank you 🙇
*Question for "NEW FAST ACTION Q&A"* Does Overhead Press & other overhead lifts [even when performed correctly] compresses the spine and stunts growth? I'm a 16yo who doesn't wanna stay 5'6" throughout his life. And btw, *Thanks for all the great content so far! Video Quality has become even more awesome and so is Jesse's cameos.*
Aayush Jaiswal jeff jas made a video on this. But to sum it up lifting will not stunt your growth in anyway. The only way this could happen is if you severely injured your growth plates somewhere in the leg. Even still you should recover no problem. But also you can't expect to grow past 5'6, you may put on a few inches but unless you are a genetic freak you arent gonna be above 5'10
Listen to the Barbell medicine podcast: should kids be strength training. Really informative. But the short answer is that it doesn't stunt growth at all.
Jeff has also said if you’re doing a lift like a heavy squat, it’s always good to decompress in between sets by hanging from a pull up bar for a bit. Not required though
Hi Jeff, just a general reaction from me to all of your vids :). I looove how effectie your workouts are, and indeed that you don't have to spend an hour on one muscle group in order to get them sore and to grow them! I am a do-it-at-home girl, don't really have the coin to get a gym membership, so I loooove when you do bodyweight or dumble exercises! Sometimes struggeling a bit still how to attack the back fully though, got a bit demotivated watching back videos because they often enough include machines. But I still have lots left to watch :) Thanks for all your videos, I love them, and I love working out, and your videos just add to that so much. Wishing you all the best and keep the great work up! :D Love, Karin
I'm a lat freak, and I use every principle in this video before I even saw it. Agree with everything here, this is great info. I wish I had this video 9 years ago, but you eventually gravitate towards the right exercises eventually. It's just nice to have it all in one.
Even though this video is supposed to concentrate on the lats, it is amazing how jeff's biceps really stand out and show us how incredible his biceps really are (see ex 2 at 2:40)
My Question: Should I be feeling the compound lifts in the target muscle? I am a beginner so I am trying to build up my foundational strength, but I don’t feel the big lifts. Thanks for the great content.
@@TeamYouphoric normally that means you're lifting too heavy. A lot of the times it's good to just get good at the movement first and then build up strength
Hey Jeff, Im currently 17 yrs old, trying to build muscle for over 6 months now. Iam a hard gainer. I want to build muscle but somehow I don't manage to build some. I see all my buddy's gaining muscle in a short period of time without even training regularly as well as eating healthy. Thus I really am depressed In my current situation with fitness. I love weight training but I'm simply depressed over not gaining any muscle. I'm thinking about giving up the last couple of weeks. Maybe you can help me? I'm clueless what to do. Maybe someone can relate... I weigh 66kg ~ 145 lbs And I'm 1,80m ~ 5'11 I eat about 2900 calories and 145g protein. (+0,5kg per week) I train a push pull Variation: Mon: Chest, triceps Tue: Legs Wed: free Thu: Shoulders / upper back Fri: Back / Biceps Sat: free Sun: a bit conditioning (Full body) Thanks.
Just for fun, have you considered putting your low bodyweight to work for you? Look up American Ninja warrior gyms near you, and go check them out. I work at a ninja gym, and the best athletes are the "hard gainer" guys with low body mass, but decent strength. Highly recommend trying it out and see how it goes!
First of all your weight is low and you need carbs for big muscles and protein to continue the growth. I once was in your situation but I switch to split workout 5 day programme. Just try this for a month and then tell me how it progress, don't worry your gains will not go away I guarantee Monday: chest Tuesday: back Wednesday: shoulder Thursday: rest Friday: legs Saturday: bicep, tricep, forearms Sunday: rest
Great! I am not looking for a Super V-Back. But, a back. And, with poor back posture, I have difficulties to grow my lats with " classic " exercises. I need to pull my elbows back and tight to the body. I first tried some movement by myself at the gym and you encouraged me to keep doing these correctly. 🙏🙏🙏

Hey Jeff, thanks so much for you're years of content. They really helped me through a lot of tough times!!! Does every day cardio have a negative effect on muscle growth?
Hey man, I'm not a specialist but depending on what you're doing meaning where you put more emphasis on it will also define your body in that way of course, so just think of a body of a general football player where cardio > muscles in comparison to a body of a 100m runner where cardio < muscles, you see where I pointing at?
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a few years you are a very smart man and I understand your science and physics great job wish there was more guys out there like you I follow a lot of your workouts and I do great thank you again for all your videos
I think my lats grew just by watching this video lol 😂😂, thanks for the tips Jeff, I can't wait to incorporate these exercises into my workout routine. Cheers 💪🏻💪🏻
I'm going to incorporate these into my next back workout. I always have struggled with back and chest development. Recently I finally figured out how to get my chest to grow more, but now have to get my back up to speed. I really want to have a nice v-taper, and it wld be really nice to have a nicer one for summer. Thanks Jeff
Shoulders are the only muscle where I don't feel sore..is this because my workouts aren't very high intensity (I have really weak shoulders) what can I do to make my shoulders sore
Soreness comes from exercises that place a lot of weighted stretch on the muscle. Think how sore you get from chest flys. Most shoulder exercises don’t stretch the muscle very much, so you’re less likely to get sore.
impolite_cow I’m no expert, but I’d say pull heavier weight. My PT always encourages me to use the heaviest of weights until i cannot lift any more. I’m looking to develop some impressive shoulders and upper arms.

Don’t work within 100 miles of Jeff. Their his clients.
Always been an upper lat guy. Just did back day with slow wide, underhand grip and my lower lats are SCREAMING! Thanks Jeff!!!!
“Do your lats come out and stop here?”
Yes, but they used to be non-existent. I was actually feeling pretty good about my lat progress, until the the start of this video :) Nah, it's fine. Tell me more... I want big lats!
Anyone reading this. Do really WIDE lat pull-downs and wide pull ups. You don't really need anything else for mass. Focus on those two, as well as the rest of your back workout and you'll be amazed.
My lats were also non-existent 🤣🤣🤣. But yeah now they are in better shape
It's more than the upper and lower lat it's also about the obliques!
They make the lats shine!
Weighted chin ups and Landmine Rows.....my lower lats are a little bit visible after doing them for just 4 weeks.....i had lats just like yours had no upper or lower lats but now have seen small improvements hope this helps
@@bloodbath3658 Weighted chin-ups? I'm still struggling with 3 x 10 bodyweight chin-ups! Also, I thought chin-ups were more for biceps? Aren't wide pull-ups better for lats? Although at my stage of the game anything is good!
It NEVER fails😂 I just got home from my back workout and got on my phone before my shake and this pops up🤔
Jeff’s workouts tips have helped me do so much more workout without getting injured. A lot of other body builder youtubers don’t have his level of expertise when it comes to physiotherapy. Listen to him!
"When you watch too many Athlean-X videos and now you don't know if you're even breathing properly"
Yes i watch both actually
I'd love to see a video series rounding up functional things that help in sports. For example, increasing jump height, increasing sprint speed, increasing grip strength, improving your throw for sports like baseball or rugby, improving your tackle.... etc....

@@evanmarshall6204 Exactly. I remember as a kid i had really slander legs. Everybody was sayng I have girls legs. I hated this so went to the gym with my cousin. Was training through whole summer vacation to get them more muscullar. Then after I came back to school i was just amazed how my speed improved and jump also. Even swimming strokes with my legs got lot better. So went from not only being in swimming team but also run and long jump.
Always love your content with your logical, evidence-based approach. Jessie is a wonderful addition to your videos, who brings light-hearted energy to the mix.
Me: *BREATHES*
Jeff: That’s killing your gains!
lmfao, pretty much so =-p
Serenity fr tho !
You’re probably breathing with your chest and not your mid waist.That’s wrong.no need to thank me JK😏
Jeff talking like he ordering food from the passenger seat
Jeff's channel is inspirational, he's a straight talker who talks in a manner that I can understand and implement into my workout. He has a great EDIP, he Explains, Demonstrights, I Implement and Practice daily, since watching his work I have changed so much in front of the mirror i.e. I can actually see the body shaping. You would not believe the gains I am getting from good technique learned from this Jedi master. He's a great ambassador to the United Nations of Gym go-ers.
Jeff wakes up goes downstairs meets his family and tell "what's up guy's it Jeff cavalier athlean X .com"
I'm convinced Jeff watches me train so he knows when to post these videos
Hey Jeff I know you guys probably won’t see this but if you do just wAna say thanx for your videos brotha I’ve always had trouble building muscle and this time around I’ve structured my workouts and diet by watching your videos and I’m seeing results I’ve never seen before ! Great videos !!!!

My lats tomorrow are about to be like “wtf you been watching Jeff again??”
So I switch these up in the order that I do them. But I do my rowing for lower/middle traps first along with….you guessed it - FACEPULLS. Then move to Dumbbell Tripod Row(My favorite), Next 1 arm high cable row, then finish with one arm pull down. Doing a few sets of each of those 3 my Lats are absolutely Shredded lol. Absolutely Love these. Past 2 months I’ve been watching these videos I have gotten great results and can really tell during and after my workouts that I’ve worked the target muscles extremely well. My Lat,Traps and Rhomboids have blown me away at how fast they got huge compared to what I had started with. This is the first time I’ve ever weight and resistance trained “seriously “ and when I learned wth I was doing. Thanks Jeff!! I picture what my muscles are doing as I work them which may be weird but it helps my mind muscle connection incredibly. Your Chest workouts have blasted my chest as well. 👊🏼✊🏼💪🏼
I used to find Jesse annoying but his "Jesse's cliff notes" bit is pretty cool. I like it.
Michael Jardine how can u not love jesse?🤨
Me: Jeff, you read my m..
Jeff: I read your mind.
Jeff. I want to say thanks for helping me out with all the videos. I'm trying to get stronger while facing a disease that I will always have to fight. I'm getting strong and lean safely thanks to you. It's a huge thing because my disease attacks my bones and they can break easily. Thanks to your advice I can strength train effectively and safely. Thanks man.
And the dynamic between you and Jesse has been a great addition. I can't wait to get past my recent injury and get back to the gym to try these exercises out. Thanks again man.
Going to apply these techniques later today at the gym, Starting following you a week or so ago and already noticed the target areas feeling the my grind. Definitely enjoy learning proper technique, Can only imagine what my body will look like in the following months(6-7).
How's it going
Also your the reason why I like working out man! I've lost a total of 40 pounds just using the advice you gave me, keep up the good work! 👍
It’s just awesome to have someone showing the right ways while a lot of people can’t get trainers! How do you think of going about working your side trunks or “belly”! Thank you!
Me: breathing
Jeff: don’t do dat... you’re killing your gains
When he said lats actually come all the way down to the hips that freaking blew my mind
It’s true. The parts connecting to the lumbar spine are fascia tendons
Only Bruce Lee has those lats! No one else in this world has it.
When looking to work on something, I always end up watching his video's, he's the best.
I have issues with back training. I don't really get a pump and feels like I'm just wasting my time while forcing myself through an unmotivated back workout and it feels like it's what's keeping my back from growing. What can I do to push through it and make the workouts work out? I follow the form I see you and other fitness guys say but I still don't feel it.
Same
Kevin Almonte If you have mind muscle connection and good form you should feel it. When I started out 8 months ago I couldn't feel my back working. Once I got used to everything I could.
10,000 Subscribers With No Videos Challenge Same. Focus on pull exercises with your back and not with your arms. That and I started throwing it loads of pullups even on none back days.
i had that problem for a long time with my mind muscle connection lacking only with the back, what helped was getting extremely good stretch in the first few sets which at the 2nd exercise really gives great contraction and feeling. warming up with latpulldowns (rope) and just stretching the muscle at the top really makes my lats pop and then i can easily get the mind muscle connection on my rows and so on. I hope it helps :D
Pull with your elbows this is gonna be the best que and also do a mind muscle Connectuon exercise such as lat cable pull ins Jeff nipard explains it
Jesse with the recap is an awesome addition to videos. I didn’t realize I spaced out and got them all after
Haha brother don't ever stop making videos. Thank you for the humor at the end. Most importantly, thank you for explaining the way you do.
It's clear, it's concise, and it proves that it's not about just pushing weight.
Much respect to you and your family. Thank you 🙇
*Question for "NEW FAST ACTION Q&A"*
Does Overhead Press & other overhead lifts [even when performed correctly] compresses the spine and stunts growth? I'm a 16yo who doesn't wanna stay 5'6" throughout his life.
And btw, *Thanks for all the great content so far! Video Quality has become even more awesome and so is Jesse's cameos.*
Aayush Jaiswal jeff jas made a video on this. But to sum it up lifting will not stunt your growth in anyway. The only way this could happen is if you severely injured your growth plates somewhere in the leg. Even still you should recover no problem. But also you can't expect to grow past 5'6, you may put on a few inches but unless you are a genetic freak you arent gonna be above 5'10
Listen to the Barbell medicine podcast: should kids be strength training. Really informative. But the short answer is that it doesn't stunt growth at all.
Jeff has also said if you’re doing a lift like a heavy squat, it’s always good to decompress in between sets by hanging from a pull up bar for a bit. Not required though
When you're here so fast even the pinned comment ain't here yet.
I recommend everyone I talk to about fitness to watch the way you perform exercises. You’re the man✊🏿
“Did I offend you this time?” 😂😂
"Jessie's TLDR" was much needed, hope to see that more going forward :)
I like the summary at the end, some good, purposeful humor always helps.
Hi Jeff, just a general reaction from me to all of your vids :). I looove how effectie your workouts are, and indeed that you don't have to spend an hour on one muscle group in order to get them sore and to grow them!
I am a do-it-at-home girl, don't really have the coin to get a gym membership, so I loooove when you do bodyweight or dumble exercises! Sometimes struggeling a bit still how to attack the back fully though, got a bit demotivated watching back videos because they often enough include machines. But I still have lots left to watch :)
Thanks for all your videos, I love them, and I love working out, and your videos just add to that so much.
Wishing you all the best and keep the great work up! :D
Love, Karin
Use bands for home back workout
DO A VIDEO ON LIFTING WITH MILD SCOLIOSIS!!! 🔴 BENCH, DEADLIFT & SQUAT!!!
I'm a lat freak, and I use every principle in this video before I even saw it.
Agree with everything here, this is great info. I wish I had this video 9 years ago, but you eventually gravitate towards the right exercises eventually. It's just nice to have it all in one.
Jesse: "It's good for your lats, better for your balls"
Jeff: "For your balls?"
The exercise that makes me feel the most in my lower lats is neutral grip pullups to chest
Me : "Jeff, I did the lat pulldown exercise as you mentioned. Why do my lats hurt?". Jeff:"you've never used them before"
You’ve been living in a dream world, Guillermo
Eminem: I'm the greatest rapper in the world
Jeff: So right off the bat when you're tynna develop that lat

Wow did these today. The incline cable excercise gave me the CRAZIEST LAT PUMP I HAVE EVER HAD!
Even though this video is supposed to concentrate on the lats, it is amazing how jeff's biceps really stand out and show us how incredible his biceps really are (see ex 2 at 2:40)
never done the underhand-grip dumbbell-row before, tried it today, and i think that´s gonna become a new fav exercise. Thanks for the tip Jeff
6:08 I see you sneaking in that little chest flex, call it pop pecks 😂
😂
My Question: Should I be feeling the compound lifts in the target muscle? I am a beginner so I am trying to build up my foundational strength, but I don’t feel the big lifts. Thanks for the great content.
Try doing an isolation excersise for the main muscle as a warm up before the compound lift, also make sure your form is correct
If you dont feel your joints hurting and you dont do half reps, youre good
It's pretty common for beginners to feel pulling exercises in their biceps before they start to feel it in their lats.
@@TeamYouphoric normally that means you're lifting too heavy. A lot of the times it's good to just get good at the movement first and then build up strength
@@sethwhite4155 it's not so much lifting too heavy as it is hand and elbow position and just having awareness of the muscles being used.
it really helps me trust these fitness videos when i can see their muscle actually contracting while they do it
Hey Jeff,
Im currently 17 yrs old, trying to build muscle for over 6 months now. Iam a hard gainer. I want to build muscle but somehow I don't manage to build some. I see all my buddy's gaining muscle in a short period of time without even training regularly as well as eating healthy. Thus I really am depressed In my current situation with fitness. I love weight training but I'm simply depressed over not gaining any muscle. I'm thinking about giving up the last couple of weeks. Maybe you can help me? I'm clueless what to do.
Maybe someone can relate...
I weigh 66kg ~ 145 lbs
And I'm 1,80m ~ 5'11
I eat about 2900 calories and 145g protein. (+0,5kg per week)
I train a push pull Variation:
Mon: Chest, triceps
Tue: Legs
Wed: free
Thu: Shoulders / upper back
Fri: Back / Biceps
Sat: free
Sun: a bit conditioning (Full body)
Thanks.
Up your protein to 185 grams, don't drop your other macros and get on push pull legs split instead
Do you progressive overload ?

Just for fun, have you considered putting your low bodyweight to work for you? Look up American Ninja warrior gyms near you, and go check them out. I work at a ninja gym, and the best athletes are the "hard gainer" guys with low body mass, but decent strength. Highly recommend trying it out and see how it goes!
First of all your weight is low and you need carbs for big muscles and protein to continue the growth. I once was in your situation but I switch to split workout 5 day programme. Just try this for a month and then tell me how it progress, don't worry your gains will not go away I guarantee
Monday: chest
Tuesday: back
Wednesday: shoulder
Thursday: rest
Friday: legs
Saturday: bicep, tricep, forearms
Sunday: rest
You know its serious when Jeff has a shirt on
He only uses a shirt to hold the mic.
Great! I am not looking for a Super V-Back. But, a back. And, with poor back posture, I have difficulties to grow my lats with " classic " exercises. I need to pull my elbows back and tight to the body.
I first tried some movement by myself at the gym and you encouraged me to keep doing these correctly. 🙏🙏🙏
Lol...Does anyone else remembers the time when all Jesse had to do was to stare at the Camera?🤣🤣

When you're so early you don't know what to comment
(Coming from an engineering student) What workout plans/ideas do you have for someone who wants to get a quick yet EFFICIENT workout? Time is something I always seem to have short of
Aryanatomy super-set that shit
If you're only training one muscle group each day, German Volume Training only takes 21 minutes. 42 minutes if you superset opposing muscle groups.
I'm back to this video two years later and I'm going to tell you I love you guys so much you are so hilarious and every exercise that you shared so effective🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hey Jeff, thanks so much for you're years of content. They really helped me through a lot of tough times!!!
Does every day cardio have a negative effect on muscle growth?
Hey man, I'm not a specialist but depending on what you're doing meaning where you put more emphasis on it will also define your body in that way of course, so just think of a body of a general football player where cardio > muscles in comparison to a body of a 100m runner where cardio < muscles, you see where I pointing at?
Yes
There's a reason why jeff doesnt do cardio.

I’ve been watching your videos for quite a few years you are a very smart man and I understand your science and physics great job wish there was more guys out there like you I follow a lot of your workouts and I do great thank you again for all your videos
I think my lats grew just by watching this video lol 😂😂, thanks for the tips Jeff, I can't wait to incorporate these exercises into my workout routine. Cheers 💪🏻💪🏻
Jeff: what are your tips on “workout addiction”, or finding it hard to take days away from the gym even when we need it?
Just wait long enough. When you start losing your strength bcs you're overtrained, you'll start taking days off 😉
Light exercises like walking, followed by stretching. You’re still doing something, but it’s more restorative.
Just make sure you dont train the same muscle group 2 days in a row
I'm going to incorporate these into my next back workout. I always have struggled with back and chest development. Recently I finally figured out how to get my chest to grow more, but now have to get my back up to speed. I really want to have a nice v-taper, and it wld be really nice to have a nicer one for summer. Thanks Jeff
Shoulders are the only muscle where I don't feel sore..is this because my workouts aren't very high intensity (I have really weak shoulders) what can I do to make my shoulders sore
Heavier weight and/or more volume
Soreness comes from exercises that place a lot of weighted stretch on the muscle. Think how sore you get from chest flys. Most shoulder exercises don’t stretch the muscle very much, so you’re less likely to get sore.
impolite_cow I’m no expert, but I’d say pull heavier weight. My PT always encourages me to use the heaviest of weights until i cannot lift any more. I’m looking to develop some impressive shoulders and upper arms.
