I really enjoy these kind of videos. Sharing your experience is golden.
I just so happen to be doing back today. Thanks as always, Uncle Mike!
me too, cheers hope u have a good sesh
@@sup8932 Same to you, brother!
Hi Mike! Just wanted to say thank you for making such an incredible app. Whoever you have on your team all you guys rock. I’ve been recommending it to all my coworkers and I’m using it right now to train my buddy who is new. Great app.
I wish I had a personal trainer like You. You have so much knowledge.
i really like that you give out really good and safe exercises
Mikeception - watching a video of Mike Thurston on Mike Thurston while there is a video of Mike Thurston on in the background 😂
Wish I had a T bar machine in my gym. The best we got is the barbell in a corner with a V-handle, so u still need to stabilize your upper body to do it.
True but you can lean back into it more, alleviating some of the shearing force on your lower back.
Just trained back this morning, wish I would have seen this first. I’ve done all of these but I need to narrow it down to just the 5 best and do those only until I see more results. Thanks
You don’t even need 5 different back exercises my guy, just 2-4 at most will do
Reverse grip barbell row, single arm lat pull-down, standing single arm row cable, rope straight arm cable, rack deadlift, tbar row
Barbell Bent over rows, Rack pulls, and pull ups. Keep it simple! Got my back very dense just by doing these
Yeah I’m gonna listen to Mike instead but thanks for sharing 😂
You should be doing more than 3 different lifts during a back workout…
@@bigt5096how many do you think?
Barbell bent over rows are a great exercise
Exactly that all my back exercises as always ! Always trust the old school exercises 💪🏽 and new school nutrition 🥘 👌
Thoroughly enjoying this series
If you want BIG lats and the 'v-tapered' back, nothing beats doing Pull-Ups.
Fax
Yeah and progress to weighted pull ups when normal pull ups become too easy
Nothing compares for back width particularly the upper and outer area of the lats
@@Sehnsuchtversteckt123 at what point would pull ups be easy for you? rep wise
Not true, I have very strong weighted pull up and average lats. Pulls up bias the teres and biceps more than they do lats. Rows with an adducted arm path are much better
Very happy T-Bar rows made the list!
My gym doesn't have the machine so have to setup with a bar using the V handle - we don't have the wide handle that would be usable
t bar row with no mention of your grip where as the bent over barbell row you emphasized that your hands supinated to draw bar with elbows in. I suggest that instead of this exercise maybe a unilateral seated row with a slightly rotating torso to increase your back extensors and this modification can enable better barbell movements.
Racked deadlift, overhead pullover, Tbar roll, lat pulldown, barbell bend over roll
Literally omw to the gym and it's Back day. Perfect timing Mike! 💪
Weighted pull ups are🔛🔝
Kinda suprised they are not on the list
@@patrykjarkiewicz7389 me too
the real question is: are these Vladisava approved? she did comment on your back. lol. Awesome video Mike.
thank you so much
Good stuff as always
No pull-ups? Weighted pull-ups are awesome. I only do two back exercises, barbell row and pull-ups.
It's all a man really needs. I tend to do 5 different exercises for all body parts but only 1 set. None of that 5 sets taking it easy and playing on the phone between sets nonsense. I just do 1 set and I take it all the way until I am screaming my lungs out!
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 Interesting. I do supersets for the compound movements, so 5kg weighted pull-up, then without weight, then 20kg assist. Do it about three to four times and I'm done. I don't get the need for so many variations, just make it intense and your are done.
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 So you do 5 sets for a back workout? That's simply incorrect if you want to build muscle.
Fair enough, but do you look like this guy? I only really do those for back as well, but if I wanted to try to look like this dude (I don't as I can't be arsed) maybe there are other avenues to explore?
Love this series
Thank you 🙏
Love the T BAR Row
My favourite series ❤
You should do a video on best machines. As in if you had your own home gym and the space, what machines are a must to own?
NICE WORK OUT 😊
a step on the ground to support the feet on a pull over machine for stability
Was waiting for this for so long
Great video mate! 💪
Great watch Mike ..
I think isolation is more for an advanced BB, most of the lifters need compound exercises to engage more muscles
Love back day 💪 great vid
Great stuff as always. I'm one of those people who do the opposite. My lower back is much stronger than my upper. The machine lower back extension is my strongest movement by far. Based on input from you and a few other I follow, I've rearranged my back work out. So, hopefully I can correct that imbalance. Agreed on the pullover machine. That was one of my favorite Nautilus (continuous resistance) back machines, but for what ever reason they are hard to find. Of all the gyms in my town I think we only have one pullover machine.
I use a Roman chair for lower back, and Romanian deadlifts
Hi Mike.
I'll always prefer V-bar standing rows over T-bar row. Hate when a pad is crushing my chest area.
Literally came in time for my back session at 18:00, good minds
Great vlog as always thanks bro take care bro.
Mikethy my g
Mike....
Thank you for providing value to us men so that we can level up.
I've just started posting videos of my journey on my channel to hopefully help other men like you have.
We can all achieve our potential.
We got this,
Let's go
🤜🤛
The lat will activate by turning your arm outward, therefore performing a lat pull-down is better with a bar. What you do is when you hold the bar you press from the pinky sides of your hands whilst simultaneously putting pressure on turning your arms as if you were to break the bar in half.
If you do this correctly you’ll activate your lat so much more and its a great way to start building your mind muscle connection with it!
so wide grip is better for your lats when you do pull ups and pull downs?
can't wait for a legs video like this nest time, please don't skip it
I don't think that will get many views? But I'll be looking out for it as I'm a strictly 3 leg days a week man.
@Maraton Legendele Nemirei no need to brag
awesome video!!!
Mikey, do you have any other suggestions for workout splits or your old video still align with your thoughts in the present as well?
I tried the rack deadlift for a while and it's just so awkward, the safety bars never seem to be at a good height so I'm either going too far down or it feels like I'm just slightly nodding... Any advice on this Mike? How far down should I go for this, is to the knees too low?
stand on a plate
He always comes over as a very gentle guy.
Stand up on the pullover machine rather than sit in the seat, that generally works, so you can use your feet as resistance,
I suppose it's worth mentioning that this is a bodybuilding top 5 list. For strength and power transfer movements like the deadlift, sealrow and other compound back exercises are far more superior.
The title says "back" but the movements are totally lat focused, except for an afterthough in the end. "The back" is a lot more than lats...
.
For everyone saying pullups, did you even watch the video? He said isolation is a large factor, so he sticks one handed pulldown variants.
Is it just me or the video played in the TV could not have been better for self PR.😂great video though!
Ah fair play mate
I think that original Dorian Yates pullovermachine that he used could be for sale. Would have bought it me self if I had the money
Glad my gym has a Hammer Strength pullover machine with seatbelt.
Surprised he picked DB pullover over straight arm pulldown. DB pullover works your chest too, which I don't want to do the day after push day, plus I don't feel it in my lats as much.
My man
Pull ups are king
A healthy lifestyle is something you refine over time - not overnight
Can somebody tell me how many and which back excersises i should do to target my whole back?
Mike what about pull ups?
Nothing beats Pull ups
Hi Mike, i’ve been using your app for a while now, 1 year.
Would it be possible to customize the workouts yourself and save it for later sessions? Or just build your own program in it?
I use the gym at my work, it is well equipt, but it doesn’t have all the equiptment and i need to adjust the program every time and forgot what i changed it for.
For the rest I’m really enjoying the app! Easy to see progression over the time! And even took me from 109kg to 82kg bodyweight💪
Having the same problem. It doesn't save what i've changed. I´m lucky i do remember what i replaced it with.
My name is Zakiya Bywaters and I look forward to meeting you in person
So you and Vladislava Galagan seemed to get along great. Any future for you and her maybe?
Whats the difference between a single arm seated row and a using a two handed neutral grip attachment ?
I think its about range of motion. With single grip, range of motion is longer and you can squeez your your lat much more.
Hey Mike, what exercise caused your lower back thickness? I remember you not being too happy with it, but i could really use more muscle there. Small waist and had a car accident in 2019 so i could benefit from it a lot. Thanks for the update video, will implement them again, had switched a lot up
Hyperextensions.
@@lochielifts thanks 💪 on the agenda for tomorrow. I injured it again doing rackpulls so i'll be coming off that
does mike do a bro split
How is weighted pull ups not here?
Cool vid!
Pullups 🔛🔝
I know guys who can do 20 pull-ups and they have tiny tiny backs. It does not grow your back size as good as other things. Especially if you don’t have good genetics
Why pain is your best friend
So no pull ups?
No. Theyre pretty useless. 😂 unless youre trying to train your back

- Peter Parker 😅
quick question when i do cable pull overs with a long rope, I get alot of activation in the triceps - i can see in the video your triceps are being activated - is this normal or is there a way to avoid this?
Better to use a bar, when you hold it try turning your arms outward as hard as you can as if you’re trying to break the bar in half. Then perform the movement whilst doing this, pushing down from the pinky sides of your hands where the pressure point will be.
If you do this correctly I guarantee your lats will activate like never before
Also this will lock your arms making it impossible for your triceps to come in, if you no longer can perform the movements for 8-12 reps in a correct fashion you’re lifting to heavy. Correct form and good reps will create faster growth!
@@khornelor6 Yes i have found the bar seems to target the lats better. cheers mate! will give this a go.
Hey Mike can you explain what you lamp in the background is doing please.
😂
Lmao
No pullups?
Yeahhhh............ 😁
Only one exercise you need for your back - pull-ups. That’s it. Done.
You should have played AJAX in the first Deadpool
MR Mooi 💪💪👍👍
Arch your back and look back at me, mean, like a dragon
Feels illegal to be this early
109k people needed to know!!!! Hilarious
💥💥💥
wow
Yeah Lats. Is what they are…
👌🏼
I generally prefer anything where there is a lot of ROM or stretch, like with the lat pulldown you rotate your shoulder fully downwards from the top. So things like barbell rows aren't it for me, whereas pullovers are.
I know the 5 plus+ :( But those who dont can google it in and know inside 3 minutes
No Pull-ups? Srs?
Upper body? Again!!! When you gonna do a leg day? And I don't mean a full leg work out but 4 separate days...that is...quads, hamstrings, calves and glutes.
Day 5: tibialis anterior and flexor digitorum longus
Day 6; abductors and IT
Day 7: adductors
