My buddy is a big fan of your training videos, Jeff. He is now over 70 years of age with a heart condition so he cannot follow your rigorous schedule but we both certainly can imitate your excellent form and scientific approach to bodybuilding. Thanks so much for all you do!
Ive been lifing for half a year and get bad shoulder, elbow, wrist and lower back pain and im 18, makes me proud that the older guys are still bossing it, hope you are well, thats really impressive
From my personal experience, I totally agree with the idea of pull ups being a more advance exercise. I remember that in the beginning I couldn't even lift my body weight in the pull up so the alternative was pull downs. Now a day, after a year of training I can proudly do *drum roll* one pull up. Now I'm aiming toward two pull ups, wish me luck
Lat Pulldowns 1.5 Shoulder Width Suicide grip might help 8-12 reps range Arched upper back Top view, elbows make 10-15 deg angle Back view, elbows pull down and in
Huge props to Jeff for illustrating his explanation so well with all these Jeff personas. It's really flattering that someone puts all this recording and editing work on videos for us to watch for free. Also, the different Jeffs are very relatable 😂 Amazing video!
During the end of a lat pull down session... Leaning back a good bit to get the heavier weight but controlling the eccentric can realy improve strength. Same goes with bent over rows. I was stuck for several months on the same weight until i started doing this. My weight on controled sets really improved. Sometime you got to change things up just and bit.
Tell you what, you know so much about the science behind training yet you explain things that make it so easy to understand . I don't arch my back while doing lat pulls , but I do use the close grip triangle, I find it most effective at the end of my set. Keep up the good work, I really enjoyed your up loads with John meadows, I've been following him for a while and to see you both train was wicked . All the best from England .
for years I could not figure why are my lats are weak and invisible. Now I have been working on form and mind muscle connection, It's been a month only and I already can see visible change. I am so hyped can't wait to check the results in 6 months
Cant lie this video is outdated on the science emg doesn't show if a muscle is effectively used e.g biceps contract on a bench press but arent worked. For lats the arm should be tucked close into the body and the spine should be neutral as the lats use the rib cage as leverage.
I tried bulding my back with several exercises then i started doing weighted pullups with different grips low reps 6-8reps 3 times a week without doing any other exercises and my back looks wider and fuller than ever. Two of my friends are doing calistenics doing just pullups and their backs look wide as hell no other exercises. Id say throw something for the upper part of back in there and the rear delts and your back will look insane.
I do 4 back exercises throughout the week - 3 on pull day and 1 on upper body day. 5 day split. on pull day, weighted pull ups for lats, bent over barbell rows (for a general back builder - mix of lats, traps and lat pulldowns (close grip) -also fro lats. on upper body day, i do (wide grip) cable rows for mid and lower traps mainly. lower back is trained during bent over barbell rows, barbell squats & RDLs (on leg day) and on deadlifts (which i do on lower body day - the day i dont do RDLs bc i alternate). of course most of these back exercises indreictly work biceps, which im happy with. should i get rid of any of these 4 back exercises for seated machine rows or not? which one if so?
two things I've found with the lat pull down are to: 1 - when locking your legs under the pad, instead of bending your legs and pushing your feet forward to put pressure on the pad, extend your legs when you sit and pull your feet backwards. I find it a bit easier to slide into the seat and it feels like it locks in better. 2 - before the first rep, lean back to near horizontal and then straighten up to your actual lifting position. I find this engages the lower back and bottom of the lat muscle, and put my shoulders into a more comfortable position to initiate the lift (although this could be more to do with my tight shoulders).
You know what I like about this guy? He gives what's been specifically proven to be the best methods of training without ever putting "BEST WORKOUT FOR.." before every video.
Content is always informational and thought provoking! Thanks for your dedication! Also I would like to ask if u could make a video on actually programming a powerlifting program and a bodybuilding program separately and together as a powerbuilding program. Things to take into account like weekly total volume, volume per body part, rep ranges and intensity, and also managing intensity, volume, and frequency relationship. I know this is a very loaded question but it has been bothering me for a while and you are the best to tackle and dissect this one. Thanks!

Love the scapular movement on these. I work at a high end medical clinic as a trainer surrounded by tons of trainers with masters degrees and I’m the only one who seems to cue the pull down this way. I’m literally here cause I wanted to learn if this whole time I was wrong but now I feel like I deserve a raise😂 I was also taught this way…let the shoulders protract up and then depress the shoulder blades..the more you stretch the more you can contract lol
Grip the bar less and pull using your elbows. Try dropping the weight and squeeze you back. Focus more on squeezing your elbows back, not pulling with you arms
@@Dylan-bl7bm Yep this definetly helped, I have a much better Mind-to-Muscle connection and my back has increased in strength and size. Thank you Dylan.
Really good video, I like to separate the “vertical pull“ movement into neutral grip pullups and wide grip pull downs to really get the most of the posterior muscle chain
I do 4 back exercises throughout the week - 3 on pull day and 1 on upper body day. 5 day split. on pull day, weighted pull ups for lats, bent over barbell rows (for a general back builder - mix of lats, traps and lat pulldowns (close grip) -also fro lats. on upper body day, i do (wide grip) cable rows for mid and lower traps mainly. lower back is trained during bent over barbell rows, barbell squats & RDLs (on leg day) and on deadlifts (which i do on lower body day - the day i dont do RDLs bc i alternate). of course most of these back exercises indreictly work biceps, which im happy with. should i get rid of any of these 4 back exercises for seated machine rows or not? which one if so?
3:18 - 3:28 - The difference in technique here HAS to be more than one of “security.” That has to hit your muscles differently. One is a full-on vertical pull, and the other is a hybrid.
to me that sounds like conditioning work. you really want to give it your all on these and possibly get to a point where your cheating reps towards the end of a set. That means the crunches would tire you out before your back is at its max gains. If you want to do something similar, I would superset lat pulls with arch raises or leg raises
I like these SHORT videos( less than 10 mins), all of your other videos are like close to 20 mins something which i have never finished watching one from the beginning to the end. More short videos plz.
Actually the pulldown and pull up hot more the mid back and teres muscles, and only some lats. The narrower grip the more lats it will be, as the lats wrap around the ribcage. And also, to grow the lats, narrow grip rows. Always pulling with the arm tight to the side to bias the lats over the other back muscles.

THE RETURN OF BRO JEFF
Fat Joe's "Lean Back" instrumental hahaha I appreciate that
two things I've found with the lat pull down are to:
1 - when locking your legs under the pad, instead of bending your legs and pushing your feet forward to put pressure on the pad, extend your legs when you sit and pull your feet backwards. I find it a bit easier to slide into the seat and it feels like it locks in better.
2 - before the first rep, lean back to near horizontal and then straighten up to your actual lifting position. I find this engages the lower back and bottom of the lat muscle, and put my shoulders into a more comfortable position to initiate the lift (although this could be more to do with my tight shoulders).
Your second tip worked for me. Thank you!
Lmao that first 20 sec bro Jeff pull down is lit

Thoughts on removal of the knee pads during this movement and bringing the knees up into a crunched/flexed position at the top of each repetition?
to me that sounds like conditioning work. you really want to give it your all on these and possibly get to a point where your cheating reps towards the end of a set. That means the crunches would tire you out before your back is at its max gains.
If you want to do something similar, I would superset lat pulls with arch raises or leg raises

Wider grip hits the lats more, narrower grip hit the middle and upper back more. You can look up studies on this it’s the case across the board.
So who’s right here
@@resident8935 Jeff and 99% of lifters
Youre confused, narrow grip only activates lats more during rowing movements, pull ups are the opposite. Wider grip = more lats.

if you can't do a pull up one arm dumbell rows are your best option. with opposing hand and knee on flat bench....both stimulate the lats very well
