Feel is only a part of the process. If you’re getting the same movement and range of motion but more reps with a stronger grip (ie, thumbs used) then that is almost inarguably going to be better stimulus.
@@Masterscotts1 using my thumbs caused me to do less reps since it would put a strain on my forearms and they would give out before my back because I don’t use straps since they broke. So thumbless grip is the go to for me
I've heard "forearms taking over" from a lot of different directions but I don't get what it means. Thumbless grip to me feels like I'm simply handicapping my grip and nothing else. You're still moving the weight with the same back muscles, so apart from a mental placebo, what does it actually add?
@@paoloh885 when you are gripping something you engage your forearms therefore when pulling the weight all of the muscle in your foreman’s begin to start firing away. If you’re moving heavy weight it’s possible that your forearms may give out causing you to not be able to grip the bar anymore even though your back could squeeze out maybe another 1 or 2 reps
@@Mcgurkyyy101 sorry for the late reply: if thumbs out of the equation works best for you then no reason to change! Typically however, grip is overall stronger with thumbs used as opposed to just fingers, and also decreases the risk of tendinitis somewhat. Hook grip could be another solution if you weren’t looking to replace your straps or prioritise some forearm specificity. All the best!
Thank you Jeff this has kept me from injuries and my eccentrics are looking so much better 26 going 27 and ego lifting and going crazy was fun but definitely not viable as you get older thanks man love your content! ❤❤❤
For me with my arms fully stretched at the top the plates on the machine are basically resting in each other, at least with pull ups if you’re tall you can bend your knees.
That grip suggestions is actually great. I used to feel my forearms also work during lat pulldowns and wondered what could be done so that they aren't used as much.
Did lat pulldowns earlier, glad to hear I do every one of these tips 🔥 the thumbless grip is a game changer too, kept it for years and will never go back!
I just started working out seriously a few weeks ago and I feel uncomfortable dropping the weight fast and I wanna do the motion correctly so I always release the weight slow and extra careful. I’m glad I know this is also important for muscle growth
I'm proud of myself hearing this, I figured out the final negative thing going push ups a long long time ago I remember thinking if you can push up then you can always resist down, I always end my push ups on a negative
Well, this content is way better then introducing weird exercises to a mostly clueless crowd. Explaining the details of well established exercises is so much better.
I use the slow negative on every rep with wrist straps. I can’t do heavy anymore, so I go less weight, and focus on bottom squeeze every rep, slow negative. It helps me at 61.
A guy in the gym I go to told me to stop pulling the bar until it reaches my chest a while back (wanted me to pull it to the height of my eyes). I think the guy is really experienced but a lot of people seem to prefer my former version of doing pull downs.
I hold the last rep on every exercise, and do a slow negative. Something my dad showed me 20 years ago. I feel like I never see other people doing this.

As Dr. Mike says: "As if another one."
Slow, as if another. RACK.
I read that with his voice 😂
AS IF ANOTHER. SLOW. SLOW. SLOW. WAIT. WAIT. rack.
First time I watched one of his videos I started applying that mantra 👌🏼💯
“another one”
Just about to do lat pulldowns.
Did u do what he said
I think we did lat pull downs at the exact same time. Crazy
@@sairajd1670no he just ignored it
@@ChapatiMan 🙁
Tbh I was watching this during my rest between sets just now and applied the thumbless grip and had to drop the weight slightly but felt my lats more
RUclips shorts are quickly becoming a powerhouse of yours. Great job combing the pertinent information into “snack sizes”!
Absolutely stellar tips and flawless way to execute a lat pulldown. This is why Jeff is one of the best for y'all to listen to
why do you sound so condescending😭 you should listen to him too g

The first one of Jeff’s vids where I’m already doing everything correctly already!
Same! I love lat pulldowns
The second tip is great. I started doing that awhile ago, basically treating my hands as hooks and I feel it WAY more now than before

It is so nice to see a fitness influencer who just calmly and doesn't yell while using all these crazy editing techniques/effects. (William Li)
That thumbless grip tip probably just saved my pull up game. Thank you
Editor needs a raise
Jeff: Don't lean back this much
FatJoe: Okay, now lean back!
He said not that much!
Keep bringing back bro Jeff please, he's hilarious. Really makes teaching the noobs interesting I find.😅
Am liking this individual explanation of exercise and showing everything. Quick and fast summary
The final negative applies to the majority of all exercises.
Mainly for cable excersizes
The editing of this video is so good top notch quality and info!
Thank you Jeff this has kept me from injuries and my eccentrics are looking so much better 26 going 27 and ego lifting and going crazy was fun but definitely not viable as you get older thanks man love your content! ❤❤❤
Love these shorts
gyms need little tvs on the equipment (or a qr code link) showing this type of video. A+
Great tips. Thanks!
I didn’t think of straps bro! Thanks been watching you for over 5 years now
love this. The thumb tip is priceless
Hood Jeff kinda reminds me of prison Mike from the office. 😂
Damn. Knew all of this intuitively just from lifting for 17 years. So its definitely good advice.
Best method standing up and walking to the pullup bar imo
Yep, nothing beats pull ups
For me with my arms fully stretched at the top the plates on the machine are basically resting in each other, at least with pull ups if you’re tall you can bend your knees.
I think both have a place. The movements have overlap but they're not interchangeable. But if I could only do one it'd be pull ups.
More of these shorts, PLEASE! They’re really helpful
I fucking love the lat stretch 11/10 favorite part of any exercise would recommend
please keep doing these shorts, this is insanely useful and quick
That grip suggestions is actually great. I used to feel my forearms also work during lat pulldowns and wondered what could be done so that they aren't used as much.
This guy is awesome, actual good information
Love the bro jeff examples of what not to do, the comparison between the correct way and completely wrong way is always helpful to see
I like that he added it (maybe) the most important.
Whatever you do just feel your back. Straight forward.
apart form quality content, brilliant edit and effects. Much appreciated!
The last tip is just good gym etiquette in general. So many lay machines break because people let the weight fly on the last rep
Always wondered about the grip. Thumbless is far more comfortable! Thanks for confirming!
thanks this changed everything
Leaning back keeping bro jeff big as hell!!
These shorts are next level❤
"that final negative on that final rep" on every move you can
Love that ur evidence based and have a bc degree . What a rare combo on social media !!
I like letting the last rep go as it helps me back up again 🆙
Did lat pulldowns earlier, glad to hear I do every one of these tips 🔥 the thumbless grip is a game changer too, kept it for years and will never go back!
one of the most useful channel;s ive found for workouts
Straps on the lat pulldown is crazy man
I just love this format, keep em coming Jeff
It’s great to know that I always have done it the science based way 👌🏾
You absolutely made a banger short! Well done 👏
Dr. Mike left his mark
"As if you're gonna do another one." - This is the best advice I ever learned from Mike Israetel 👌🏻
These videos are killer. Such slick editing with great animation. Oh yes, nice gym advice too.
that's the best 'xray' effect I've ever seen in a fitness video.
all points covered, well done
This man has helped me so much
Those back animations are crazy good
i think he just explained 3 videos in one short with good editing💀
Vital information allthough I didn't learn anything new here, that is how I do my pulldowns💪🏼
Crazy how high quality his shorts are.
I always feel these in my biceps
Wow I love the last point, letting the last rep be slow seems like a key thing.
I like the visual effects. Good job man
Was planning on doing lat pulldowns today, thanks Jeff!
Loving the new shorts and style of content J.Nipp!! Yes I’m a fan boy 😅
I love these shorts. all going into a gym playlist.
I try doing aloe negatives on my last reps and man that hits different. Thank you for the advice 😤
I just started working out seriously a few weeks ago and I feel uncomfortable dropping the weight fast and I wanna do the motion correctly so I always release the weight slow and extra careful. I’m glad I know this is also important for muscle growth
Somehow the algorithm knew today is my back day
Nice animation of the muscles
I'm proud of myself hearing this, I figured out the final negative thing going push ups a long long time ago I remember thinking if you can push up then you can always resist down, I always end my push ups on a negative
Literally i use thumbless grip for most of the back, lats workout . Damn that makes me feel my lat and back workouts🔥
W this dude for making informative videos
Well, this content is way better then introducing weird exercises to a mostly clueless crowd.

I like wrapping my thumb around because I cam squeeze the bar harder, which makes me feel my lats better
Thanks, Nipple.
Solid advice, as always
That’s it. You earned a sub!
You know they are proffesional when they hit you with the "anatomical muscles edit while doing the exersice" thing.
That's a relief I've actually even leaning back the perfect amount, and wondering if I need to do more. No!
Needed this, about to get back into gym after two years of sloppiness
I use the slow negative on every rep with wrist straps. I can’t do heavy anymore, so I go less weight, and focus on bottom squeeze every rep, slow negative. It helps me at 61.
never stop making these educational vids bro
A guy in the gym I go to told me to stop pulling the bar until it reaches my chest a while back (wanted me to pull it to the height of my eyes). I think the guy is really experienced but a lot of people seem to prefer my former version of doing pull downs.
Just used straps for backday today and it really helped to focus on the back. Defo recommend :)
Def guilty of your last point. I always let the bar 'fly back up' thus losing that last, hard rep. Great info
I use to haaate doing back cuz I was only feeling it in my arms.. and now it’s one of my favorite days after a couple months of consistency !
Love this guys videos keep it up!
More shorts like these pls ❤
Thx for the tips, cuss i always feel my forearm tired, and now i know the reason
That's some incredible animation 👏👏
The bandana in the wind is killing me
I hold the last rep on every exercise, and do a slow negative. Something my dad showed me 20 years ago. I feel like I never see other people doing this.
Mario Rios will have a field day with this one
Ah nice, i didnt realise but i do remove my thumb when doing pull downs just by nature, good to know im on the right path
thank you for posting this on my pull day
Keep making more informative shorts.
Good tips. minus the gym straps
Not me adding another last rep so i can let the bar fly me back up 😅 😂
first bro was doing a vertical row hybrid lul
I've learned i do it just perfectly :)
bro jeff is so goated
Comment about the last rep so real…sometimes you just forget
At the end of the day you know if you did a good set, doesn't matter if you're swinging your back. If you're pumped up in the back, it's working.
