- There's a lot of bad advice out there when it comes to building back width vs thickness. Sometimes it's hard to know what's true and what's not true when it comes to back exercises. Should you be doing pulldowns for width in the lats, and rows for more thickness in the back?? What if I told you that most people have it all wrong? In this video we'll cover proper technique for building a better back to get both width and thickness (detail) as well as go over some of the most common myths and mistakes, as well as proper technique for building a bigger and better back, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or even advanced lifter.

I would appreciate a typical James Grage full day of eating. Keep going with the series, awesome content
You got it!
I was JUST thinking this morning, before gym, how I'd like the same thing! Good thinking Simon, thank you James! Looking forward to it!
Injections too 😂
Love this content James, only wish you would release the program and show him how to barbell back squat because legs seperates the men from the boys
For sure. Leg day vid is coming soon
About a week ago. I got a pull up bar. I could barely do one pull up. Now I can do 4. I know its not a lot but, making progress. Haha. Lol. Im not overweight. Just need to work on muscles.
That kids on the right track. Starting early.
Yeah I wish I had someone guiding me when I started at his age. It would have saved me a lot of time, improved gains and prevented a lot of injuries
What I also really like besides the mind to muscle connection. Is the father to son connect. It’s humbling, sobering and reminds me of my father son connect. I grew from that connect in ways my fatherless young buds didn’t…. Kudos to you dad…I’ll subscribe to your channel…just because…
Hey Mike. Thank you my friend. Truth be told, my motivation for doing this content with my son is more for myself than it is for anyone watching It's an awesome opportunity for the two of us to spend quality time together, have some common ground and ultimately strengthen our bond. If we can share some good content in the process then that's just a bonus!
I need that bar for the lats!
where and how can I buy the program?
I´m interested too
Hi Scott. I originally hadn't planned on coming out with a program but after a lot of requests I'm going to start putting one together
Great video James.
I really had a tough time with back exercises when I started lifting in 2020. It took me about 6 months to really feel like I was doing the motions properly and engaging the correct muscles, for back and chest exercises both (besides like chest flys those are pretty straight forward).
Biggest tip I think for back exercises: think about pulling with your elbows!!! Don't pull the bar or dumbbell to you with your hands; ignore your hands, think about pulling with your elbows. You mentioned it but it's definitely the top tip for back IMO.
James, i have been watching and learning for years....i can't wait to see how your boy does in the future....there are many guys/videos out there trying to copy your science based teaching. Keep up the good work...
I hope viewer are truly watching the effect in resistance bands. James couldn't start over, he already has a great physique. Junior is already shredding up.
Yes! He has one of the ultimate tutors, but knowledge is useless without application. Resistance bands, Garage and discipline... I'll see you guys on top of My. Olympus. Great video gentlemen.
Great video and series. Thanks for the breakdown.
You're very welcome. Thank you for checking it out
Very nice short and yet very informative video, thank you kerp it up :P
Thanks my friend
Great video!! No lies told whatsoever! 💯
Thanks my friend
great video 😃👍
Hi James, I'm 37 years old and also a beginner. I read in the comments of the previous videos about your plans to make a beginner program. will your new basic beginner program also be for beginners at 37 years old or only for beginners who are young like your son or around 20 years old? Is there a differnce? I believe in what you say and therefore how can i get or purchase a basic long term bodybuilding beginner program designed by you?
Hi my friend. The techniques, exercise selection and resistance levels would suit anyone from his age on up. It's also the same way that I would retrain an "intermediate" or "advanced" lifter that uses improper technique
Long time ago, when I was in the age of your son, a powerlifter rat tell me on pulling exercise to take the thumb out of the grip for help the mind to link the traction in the back and not in the biceps too, it helps me a lot. Ah and he tells me also to do not the same with pressing movement unless i will want a wrist injurie XD. Congratulation to your son, from the first video he seem "more builded" 😄 keep going💪
I love the shared knowledge. I have to say that it is amazing how a resistance band that costs maybe 30-50 bucks can emulate an entire cable machine that may cost over 1 thousand dollars.
Yes, resistance bands are one of the most underrated training tools. Like you said, they are inexpensive and you can do so many things with them
hey james, i cant seem to find the 5 part series that you did not too long ago, i only had the chance to watch the first one and i cant seem to find it
Great vid James💪😎Kid's got promise. Training w/the BIG dog now 🐺
😎💯🇺🇸💪😁
Yes, if he keeps it up he has the makings of a great physique.
James I want to be a personal trainer. Any schools you would recommend? Your system and knowledge makes the most sense to me.
Good job James now this is for the miss this science but I still miss bones AKA muscle geek with bones
Hands like hooks works for my connection
You got any exercises like this using your Under Sun bands?
Talk about workout duration, many people say workout session should not exceed more than 45mins, 60mins etc.
I do workout for 1& half hours to 2 hours because most of my sets are failure sets (PPL split) also intense, so that I used to rest more. Also I gained 12 kg (around 85% lean muscle mass) of weight in 6 months. But gym trainers tells me to complete by 45 mins to maximize results. Is that true?.
Do I need to take a look on this?.
I use everything in the street with my bands too👍💪
With bands you can definitely get an awesome workout anywhere
Hi James, which rod are you using for the pull down?
I just used a cheap generic one that I found on amazon
Why not a pronated grip rather than a supinated grip? To take the biceps complexly out on the bent over bb rows
Is that a roge or a rep rack or is it a different brand?
Just starting out. Female 53 years old.
What are the best workouts for abs.
Please/Thanks
My workout is as yours💪💪🤗 you know me, Instagram 😁, see you God of Bands and super boy🤗💪💪👍
