- In this video we talk about the common mistakes to avoid when trying to build your lats. We'll cover some of the best and most effective exercises for building a bigger and wider back. This is the ultimate how-to on building your latissimus dorsi muscle. I'll go over proper training techniques for 4 different variations of a lat pull-down, as well as 3 different techniques for rows that target lat development that you can incorporate into your workout.
James Grage -
no backgroundmusic. good volume and great demonstrations :). award for best RUclips video
simple and consise explanations and what ppl do wrong.
truth
I like this guy. No nonsense no bs.
Don Corleone I need a man who has powerful friends. I need a million dollars in cash. I need, Don Corleone, all of those politicians that you carry around in your pocket, like so many nickels and dimes.
This is the best video on lat training I've seen. So straightforward, easy and void of filler.
I've watched a lot of videos on RUclips, and I must say that this in my opinion is the MOST informative and definitive video on training lats on RUclips! Thank you!
Very informative
Agreed. I haven't been feeling my back lately and hes just helped me see why
Just found you on RUclips and I have to say you are one of the best as information and training the right way.
Thanks my friend!
Hey James, quick question: If I'm trying to add mass and put weight on at the gym, do I still want to do high rep sets? I understand it's important to get that mind-muscle connection and have a warm up set, but am I really going to build as much muscle doing 20 rep sets as opposed to 6 or 8 rep sets at much higher weight?
To build mass you want to use the heaviest weight you can for atleast 8-10 reps with good form and still have that mind muscle connection. Squeeze and feel the muscle and use the heaviest weight. But let's see what our new friend says....
+Big AK...I saw a study that says you don't have to lift heavy to build muscle...not that I agree, just saying that's the new school of thought out there.
You need progressiv overload, enough protein and sleep above al to build mass. 5x5 program works well for example.
This and AthleanX are the best exercise channels. I'm a recently certified personal trainer and I have already learned so much from every one of the videos I've watched.
Look at geff nippard as well he is on par and better in a couple other things athlean this dude and nippard and you literally can NOT go wrong
You know it's quality content when you get a new subscriber with just one video. Lucid explanations of the *correct* form. I know these already but it's going to be so beneficial for those new or willing to learn. Good job!
The tips you have so kindly shown and demonstrated are truly the best ever. The variety of options are so "appetizing ".Thanks a million.
I keep stumbling on these previously recorded videos, and I cant resist tell you that these videos are unquestionably the best and most informational fitness videos that I can find on youtube. Id love to see a video on how to work traps, and the middle portion of the back. Thats been a particular weakness for me. LOVE the work! keep it up.
Man, I even turned on the notifications for your Channel now, James! Always looking forward to your vids! Can't wait for the complete back workout!
That's awesome! Appreciate it.
Excited to try these methods. NO video is ever too long. The more, the better. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks my friend!
It is obvious that you have considerable experience, and you express your insights in a positive and understandable way. This may be the best channel on the subject. Keep them coming, and thanks for sharing.
These are the best videos for real world explanations
Thanks Justin!
"Put it in your back pocket".
Best anology ever. It fucking burns as fuck.
Thank you for this. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen that explains the lats and their functions. This will change he way I look.
Hey James!!! I am absolutely loving this series. I love the science behind bodybuilding and this feeds both my passions. I have completely changed many of techniques in the gym using the information you have provided. Thank you so much. Keep them coming. I am feeling soreness in areas I haven't in a long time. Gotta Love the Pain of Progress!!!!
500 likes and no dislikes. That says something about this channel and how good it is
Close grip underhands are the best kind of pulldown for your lats. Wide grip overhand actually has more activation from the Teres Major, not the lats. Jeff Cavaliere has a video on this
lntimidating XBL Jeff is the truth
It also unfortunately hits the biceps hard and often they fail before the lats
lntimidating XBL wide grip 1.5more than your shoulder work best for your lats... (in my case)... check yourself which version works for you
lntimidating XBL closegrip chins with weight work great too
Wide overhand, medium to narrow overhand and then medium to narrow underhand super set is the only way I can burn my lats out, such a large muscle assisted by so many smaller ones, back always seems to take the most mind muscle connection
The best exercises breakdowns out there! This channel is my new go to source. Keep up the good work!
That's awesome that someone else does the same ones as I do because a lot of those workouts you did I do also and I agree with you
"don't go too heavy with these" *uses almost the entire stack*
The stack probably not to heavy for him obviously.
Hey my friend. Heavy is a relative to each individual. I encourage you to go as heavy as possible, as long as you can maintain good technique and still target the desired muscle, without having to over-engage additional muscles to assist in the movement.
I can do the entire stack no problem with good form. Bulid endurance and the gains will come aka stamina.
+nabbv sure you can buddy
Yeah I can buddy I'm fit and workout. I don't focus on rep range but endurance. Trust me, focus on getting your body use to endurance and you'll see. Your body can do anything once it gets use to it. Hell people can lift 1000 pounds, you don't think your body can't lift the whole stack? You must have weak and pathetic connection with your body.
Love the clean cut explanations man keep up the great work!!!
Thanks Andy!
+James Grage - The Muscle Geek James you give the best advice, I have learned a lot from your vids thanks dude. Oh and 1MR Vortex is one of my favourite pre workouts it's rocket fuel.
Great explanations and lots of variations. Thanks!
5 minutes in and I already like this guy. Seems passionate about this and actually cares about preventing injuries from unnecessary stress on other parts of the body.
Best videos regarding bodybuilding hands down, thank you sir
That's an awesome compliment! Really appreciate the feedback my friend.
Priceless information! Thanks mate and greetings from Germany!
Thanks my friend~
Thanks a lot James, very informative like all your videos, straight to the point!
Your absolutely right Big AK.. Not only technique but the science part as we'll.. Great videos James..
...*james ive never seen so good tips as these ones....thx 4 sharing...and because of that i have subscribed 2 ur channel*
tammy brown He's the owner of bpi sports, most knowledgeable person in the industry
yeah me too
agreed he did a great job! gonna try it out
Definitely informative. ..dude knows his stuff!
excellent video. don't worry about the video length. love your work.
That's awesome feedback! Thank you.
yeah, I wanna see and hear it all bro. Love your work. I even got frustrated because, at 4:07 you get done talking about the single arm pulldown in relation to simulating the behind the beck pull down (or as a variation of it), and then you don't show the demonstration. The video cuts to just after you do the exercise. Not sure if you cut it to cut down time, but yeah. Don't worry about the time. We love hearing your knowledge. If you think it is important enough to include in the video or say in the video, we want to hear it regardless of the video length. The real people who care and watch these will Appreciate the length, rather than dread it.
Thank you Mr. James .. you are the best teacher .. no over speaking about the same topic ..no repeating ... You are best 😊
The most accurate video on wideness of lats. You know what builds wideness and what builds thickness. Excellent Knowledge
Is this dude working out in a Costco or something??
It's called a gym.
I would sign up for this Costco.
it's bpi warehouse
Man I love this guy. I like Jeff cavalier too but I think I like this guy maybe a bit more
Homo or no homo? I love this guy too, but no homo. LOL. All jokes aside, I've tried most of his training and they do work better.
@James Thanks for these great videos. You have the best fitness channel on RUclips.
Excellent content as always. After watching the back training series I understand now why I have "high" lats and a thick upper back so will implement the advice you have given.
I just found my new online trainer.
I've been training weights 4 to 5 days each week since 2014 and I've always found building my rear shoulders very difficult. Just 2 weeks of using some exercises you posted on shoulders has got me seeing very noticeable growth in that stubborn area now. Thanks a million.
same thing with my upper chest
Now I'm gonna target another stubborn area with your tips, my Lats.
After watching your videos, I've realized how much I've done wrong and how much time I've wasted at gym doing non sense!!
And I need to put my ego to the side & use a lighter wieght
For months now I am trying to get rid of the ego and lift correctly and heavy enough. Sometimes it's hard to quit adding weight but in the end, it will pay off. I still get laughs from the "huge" guys in the gym that lift super heavy (huge = maybe in a good leg day, their legs are the some size as my arms). Stay strong!
My legs I can kill with a lot of weight. And I get the stares when it's Leg Day. It's not the social hour, dammit!! I get the same comment about my arms, Horea. When I put people through what I do (and I rarely dedicate a day for arms), they're crying by the time we start the second set!! LOL
Grady Crittendon leaving the ego at the door and training with your brain is the best thing you can do.
I agree, smarter and safer to go lighter.
Guilherme Vaccari defo mate
Man im so glad you put this videos, and im so gald that i used those techniques too, like everyone in the gym said to me at least one time," Man why are you doing it like that? why so light? your crazy???" and the boom i get bigger than most! im learning a lot more. Thanks!
Great video. He broke it down perfectly it's about getting the movement right even if that means using lighter weight. You have to give up ground to gain ground.
yay. I'm first. PS I have pink eye
Alrighty then
And sock...?
...and a brown eye.
This guys talks so much sense! since i focussed on form over increasing weight and squeezing. My development has come on leaps and bounds.
can not thank more for your tips, really blow the mist away
Definitely going to be giving some of these a try thanks for the help
Just tried this at the gym, what a difference in my workout! Thanks for sharing the wisdom.
James Grade - Man, I felt my lats working today! That was awesome. Thanks to your explanation of how lats work I finally did the dumbbell row correct. Before I couldn't feel my lats working. But now I know how to make them work. Thanks a lot!
just tried this routine at my gym.. and i can feel a massive difference.. thanks mate.. marvellous info
Thanks James, you give some really good advice! I've always had trouble building my lats, but you've given some great ideas on how to improve that area.
Been lifting for 10 years and you are by far the best channel I've found. Each time I go try something you taught me and it works incredibly. Thanks man!
excelente consejo, gracias
Excellent info! Really works, thanks for sharing.
This is great! You nailed it man. Your confirming everything i learned through mind muscle connection. Despite seeing so many people do it wrong daily. Keep teaching and we will keep learning and growing.
God bless you for all the help. Much appreciated!
Dude! I have been working on my lats for almost a year now and there's very minimum development. Your video made a lot of sense to me. I'll try these out, I'm just glad that I found your video. Thanks for this.
I tried those exercises the way you do it in the video 3 hours ago, and I had never felt my lats like today, everything that you say in the vid is right. Thank you for share your knowledge in yt and sorry for my odd english, greetings from Argentina.
You give multiple options using bars, dumbells or cable which is helping me a lot to do little variations for same muscle group in each week, which in turn is very important for overall muscle development. Thanks Man !!
Just found your channel. Loving the tips. Really make sense
one of the best thanks for the info..
I have been training 30 plus years and you are the best teacher I have ever seen Hughley impressed very big fan.
Okay ! hands down this is the best video on back i have ever seen... and man when he starts explaining the dumbbell rowing.. man i am like whoaaaaaa !!!!!!
Keep up the good work sir !!!! Respect !!
what a great video! i love how informative and in depth this video is, its not just "do this" you explain. im a fan
by far the best workout page ... I try this routine the other day and I really feel the work ! keep it up
You’re videos are so great, James! Thank you for sharing them!
Great advice, James! Best I've seen for back, and especially lats. Love the geeky, explained-on-skeleton approach! Keep up the good work!
This is the best instructional video I've seen on training Lats. Very detailed!
Also, it may help to exaggerate the contraction for a 3 second hold to ensure you're connecting with the Lat.
Probably one of the best videos on ways to target lats. Thank you!
Great video! So much info about proper techniques and exercises for the lats.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Outstanding video great information on showing how to do the right moves correctly for maximum benefit for the exercise.
James, wicked tip on the straight arm, unilateral, bent over row. Can't wait to check it out! Thanks for the quality content. Keep it up!
Thanks, James. At 50, I am beginning training for my first show and really have to work to widen my back. I'll put these tips to work! God bless.
Thank you so much for the detailed info. It is really helpful. Contents created in a watchers point of view! Appreciate it!
After years seeing so many bullshit on youtube finally a honest person that know how to teatch and try to help people instead of parasiting them. I will recomend your channel to all people that i know. Keep going brother. Good Job.
Thanks brother!
Yes this is one of the best lat training video i have ever seen. thanks you James.
Doing Rewired right now and love the program, this is going to help me hit my lats on back day!
Love all your videos. Very detail info. and guidance. Thank you so much.
Thank you James sir for sharing your great knowledge and info.
Just finished my back workout and could only wish I saw this before. So much more that I could've done better but can't wait to try these next week! Thanks James!
I like this video format, going through the workout while giving tips and giving reasons for why you do and do not do certain exercises.
Dude, that was amazing! You did make a long video but everything you said had a purpose, no BS talk, very clear and easy to follow information. Thanks.
only seen some video's of this buth defenetly one of the best out there. good excersizes with good info on how to do them te wright way. good work!!
Great advice and in depth info, thank you
Great, thanks for the advice.
good video James, appreciate it your tips they make a lot of sense. keep it up
thanks to you Ive had an amazing workout today
I've been learning a lot from your videos. You have really helped in cleaning up my training techniques. For an older lifter like myself I have noticed less stress on my joints and ligaments which has made for faster recovery times. Love to see you do some detailed discussion on your diet in the same manner you are doing for muscle groups.
This is a great series its so helpful thanks James
great videos as always. i love working unilateral because it also keeps you from overcompensating with one side. I am right hand dominate and tend to pull more with my right side, so working one side at a time helps. thanks for the upload!
honestly,one of the most informational videos I have watched,I think that your knowledge is really on point & very beginner friendly,seriously keep up the good work!
james i just want to say thank u very much for ur advanced training techniques. ive been on this journey now for a yr and a half. And ive lost a total of 100 pounds between cardio and weight training. But ive been focusing more on weight training the last 6months. And once i watched ur videos. I've seen tremendous improvements. all because of ur small but critical tips on posture and technique. thx u very much because I've been super motivated in the gym. keep up the good work. ur helping alot of people. because im passing it on to my friends. have a great day.
U left one of the best movements out there,and it,s been around for a long time, the machine pullover,it's all elbow.
Brilliantly explained!
Thank you for great teaching .
Bravo. Thanks much - you're seriously educated on proper isolation and form.
