what's up hope everyone is gr8. I love these gym vids bc I recently lost my job and actually had to cancel my membership for obv reasons, heartbreaking really but this content keeps me smiling through all the pain.
I’m a Powerlifter but I’ve taken away a lot of great information from you. You seem to be very unique in offering very usable and permanently life changing tips that actually translate to real results and actual use and function in training day to day. Your content is unique compared to the other science based guys. Great stuff
Nice! It's crazy to me that his technique is so 'perfect' while enhanced, I thought training enhanced was just about getting blood flow to the area because said blood is full of test etc.
1. Cable bench supported row from low position (unilateral) 7:12 2. Bench supported high row (unilateral) 9:25 3. Seated mid machine row (unilateral) 11:18 4.seated low machine row (unilateral) 12:52 Like if you love janicki❤
Any recommended substitutes for 3 + 4 if my tiny gym doesn't have those machines? I'm just a regular dude. We have the basics and several machines, but it's just a small gym that comes with my pool membership which is convenient. Thanks
It's crazy people are shorting on science back lifting......was body building for years and then an old shoulder injury (surgery) stopped me....fast forward 11 years ive started back up and I have ZERO PAIN popping grinding in my motions thank you Erik/ Dr Mike/ jared
Eric, love your training philosophy. Would you do a video for us folks who workout at home and do not have cable machines? I have dumbells, barbells, benches, chinup bar, and bands.
I feel 2025 is going to be Dr. Jekylicki. Also, instead of just science, lifting is an art form. Eric’s honed his art and craft extremely well and does a masterful explination so people can emulate it reaping better benefits themselves.
Hey man. Love the content. I’m all about this lengthened stuff, or have been atleast. But since hypertrophy is cause my mechanical tension, what’s the point of going overboard with the stretch, because it damages the muscle more, like I dropped around 45lbs on each dumbbell in order to do a 8 second eccentric, pause in deepest stretch possible for 2 seconds (which is DEEP, like my triceps are literally vertical), but honestly I’m not really able to progressively overload as much as I used to be able to when just aiming to touch the dumbbell to my chest.. idk man
I think in general if u used a heavier wait and use let’s say a 3 second eccentric at first. Use the eccentric at the progressive overload. So when u get back to 8 comfortably u increase the weight. This is the wY that I’ve taken it. And my strength has gotten crazy. In all motions and ranges
There's a sign at my local planet fitness that reads, "No 'Janicki Cable-ling' Allowed" and then there's a big crossed out picture of a guy who's taking up all the incline benches in front of cable machines.
Eric, will the pronation or supination of my hand matter more or less? Palm up, palm down, palm vertical? Hope that makes sense. Thanks bro, you’re making me huge with the cables. Love your stuff.
It does insofar as your elbow usually tracks in line with the top of your hand, so that’s why supination or neutral grip is better for lats since it forces your elbow closer to your side (instead of flaring out to target more upper back)
for back day can I just do the 3 (bench supported cable rows from low, mid, high position unilateral pulling) and hit everything that way or is that not enough and you need more variation?
I know you mention it’s “performative”, but why? Why not gain strength in that end range of most shortened/contracted position? If this is purely about muscle hypertrophy, do you agree there’s a use there for strengthening shoulder extension in the short range, at least?
That gym is actually a "Zoo" there's shenanigans and loads of content creators that go there. You never know what or who you'll see at this gym on any given day
Eric, if you see this can you help me. I’ve been training 23 years, I’m seasoned. Here’s my issue. When I do those insane stretches, I lose tension. It’s like I can’t keep tension on my back and get that nasty long stretch. Any tips?
The only guy on here actually talking about (at least alluding to) the stretch (or true full range) in terms of joint/connective tissue health. This represents the issue with science-based lifting; I never ever hear a single one mentioning the words “connective tissue.”
I’ve heard Mike O’Hearn mention it, but that’s it. It’s an excellent point though, that if you only train in a shortened position your body snaps when forced beyond that position
نحتاج برنامج كامل. لكل عضله. و لو يكون متنوع. افضل. مع كل الشكر والتقدير والاحترام نحتاج برنامج كامل. لكل عضله. و لو يكون متنوع. افضل. مع كل الشكر والتقدير والاحترام We need a complete program. For each muscle. And if it is diverse. Better. With all thanks, appreciation and respect
so basically, MECHANICAL TENSION IS THE ONLY driver of hypertrophy; the other reasons are completely INCORRECT and is actually disadvantageous towards muscle growth. Also the LATS DONT BENEFIT FROM THE "STRETCH"😭 this is just MISINFORMATION
@@joshuahanlen3339 yea but there are no current studies that say the lats DO benefit from smh in practice either cause the lats lose leverage at the stretched position, for a pulldown at the top rom other muscles takeover and as far as my knowledge there has been no fascicle length changes on the lats so the “stretch” part is kinda useless cause the costal chest gains leverage to adduct the shoulders at those high level of humerus elevation past a 120 degrees to be specific. And for a row exaggerating the stretch literally forces u to protract the scapula giving away leverage to ur upper back. We dont need studies to prove it. just learning biomechanics and physiology debunks it completely.
Who up Janicking they Eric rn
Only the real ones 🫡
Wait, what?! I've been Ericing my Janicki this whole time 🤦♂️
Bro is explaining form while simultaneously unilaterally rowing a full stack for reps. He strong af just like dr.mike mentioned recently!
Full range of motion plus full weight
Not that impressive for a man of his size. South Asians are a lot weaker. Feats of strength in Indian gyms are usually non-existent.
@@faizalmohammed9874 haters gonna hate, don't disrespect Dr Mike's opinion
@@peternincompoop1823 are you a dr Mike cultist or something? Have you seen his comp day physique?
That's actually dabble pulley it's a half the weight
what's up hope everyone is gr8. I love these gym vids bc I recently lost my job and actually had to cancel my membership for obv reasons, heartbreaking really but this content keeps me smiling through all the pain.
Don't worry bro, we're all gonna make it. Just keep on going.
Keep your head up bro. The grind continues

I'm a little surprised it has that much overlap with powerlifting, but I guess the cues and methods are always useful.
Nice! It's crazy to me that his technique is so 'perfect' while enhanced, I thought training enhanced was just about getting blood flow to the area because said blood is full of test etc.
ur just the best, even for naturals.. hands down the best info
Honestly, God lifting advice should apply to everyone, not just enhanced athletes
Good *
Thank you, Eric! I'll try these options. Your advice usually works very well for me.
1. Cable bench supported row from low position (unilateral) 7:12
2. Bench supported high row (unilateral) 9:25
3. Seated mid machine row (unilateral) 11:18
4.seated low machine row (unilateral) 12:52
Like if you love janicki❤
Thanks bro... I'm already doing my own variation of the low row, but I'm going to switch up my routine with this, so much appreciated!
You the real MVP
@ericjanickifitness thanks for the videos, Eric! Merry Christmas and all the things.

Liking for the algorithm, need to help Eric grow even more
Eric: "You don't need 3 plate bent over rows"
Meanwhile he does 1 arm near full stacking
@1:49
Beast
That stack is like 250 💀
happy to see the growth of your youtube channel!
Everyone with their tripod and single arm bench exercises, but nobody doing pull ups
Can we all take a moment to recognize how flexible eric is despite being jacked af? 😂
Thanks bro, it comes with time
Less CNS fatigue..like it!

I'm going to try this stuff. I'm alrdy a form snob & team full RoM anyhow😂 something different, get out of old routine from time to time...
The stretch is what's wrong you can hold the stretch at the end isometrically if you like.

Did this a few days ago and then again today and its insane
😂😂😂 Eric is hilarious when he makes comments about ego lifters!!
Luv ya Eric!
Love the videos ❤
Love you ❤️
@ lol maybe post more on clothing hauls because those are always fun!!
Day 4 of asking to work out with Eric. My gym would go nuts. Merry Christmas, everyone!
hi @ericjanickifitness these skills are horizontal rowings .....and then for vertical rowings?????? MMMMMTHANKS
Great video!
Thanks!
Bro knows tomorrow is Tuesday
Love the video thank you
Got you 🤝

If this is purely about muscle hypertrophy, do you agree there’s a use there for strengthening shoulder extension in the short range, at least?
Did low cable, and high cable; why basically do the same for each with the machines?
I understand this but it seems a little too complex for me. Im going to try this anyways because maybe im in my own way.
Спасибо МУЖИК. Очень нужная информация. Respect
I'm still try8ng to figure out why he repeats the exact same excerices twice but explains as if it's a new different excerise.
You posted this a just a few mins before my chest day
Thanks i guess
We have a chest video dropping later this week 👀
@ericjanickifitness nice
It was a joke btw
Thank u so much bruh
Amazing content 👌
Glad you liked it
This gym is 15,000 times quieter than mine. It'll be impossible so find a free bench AND cable machine lol.
That gym is actually a "Zoo" there's shenanigans and loads of content creators that go there. You never know what or who you'll see at this gym on any given day
Is their a such thing as being overly muscled
Eric, if you see this can you help me. I’ve been training 23 years, I’m seasoned. Here’s my issue. When I do those insane stretches, I lose tension. It’s like I can’t keep tension on my back and get that nasty long stretch. Any tips?
Try maintaining a very slight elbow bend in the biggest stretch instead of completely straightening the arm. That helps me keep my back engaged
@ That’s exactly what I’m doing, and I have freakishly long arms for my height. Much appreciated!
Feel like thor talking to dr strange, the view just keep suddenly change haha
😂😂 gotta keep the audience retention
Erics only weak point is the clavicular head of the upper pec region; in comparison to everything else he’s absolutely massive.
I’m the 🐐 of back day
Secondarily????
Optimal is Latin for best, so the thumbnail says most best
metabolic stress and muscle damage doesnt drive hypertrophy at all, show me a study that proves metabolic stress drives hypertrophy
No but playing computer games do right?😂 stay in your lane
I just did back. Frick.
😂😂

Erics unique. The rest are more of click bait. They make it sound like their way is the only way you should train sometimes.

Your title is "UNIIII" that wont help people in the search to find you. Luckily, youtube recommended and I subscribed!
Respect România Eric
Man... you really took 6 turk. I can tell 😂
All jokes. You rock.
Thank you for your offerings! 🦬
You bet!
You neither understand biomechanics nor you are up to date with research
Explain the biomechanics of this video that he does not understand and show me the up to date research that supports your claim
Why is he doing the same exercises?
👍👍👍
Too many young lifters doing one arm lat pulls but can’t do a regular pull up!?!?
Pull ups isnt something you “just do” unless you are built petite then usually takes practice and consistency
@ my point exactly. Now start practicing and stay consistent
@@byrd702rebelcity4 i pull up… im just saying i understand the people that don’t
11:32 Ah yes indeed… very non eRgOnOmIc
Curious what percentage of bf are you in the video?

Distracted by the "rotator cuff workout" at 3:45
Turk builder 😂😂😂
Техника 🔥 всё супер работает, большое тебе спасибо💪💪💪
you gotta work on the thumbnails my man. if you weren't Eric Janicki I wouldn't have clicked on the video.
TF you on?
'secondarily' = something less important.. which is different to secondly 🙂
Fair play. I’ll adjust from now on

@ yea so ur just uneducated lol
They haven't done any studies on stretch biased for lats, so to say it's just misinformation is factual incorrect

Guys you don’t need a massive stretch. This guy is taking it too far.
5 comments on this channel. You are a hater my man.
@ yes. Of over-extended workouts that are not optimal.
You don’t *need* to workout with weights either.
How much gh? Increlex?
