@banePlaysGames Eric is Greg Doucette business partner. Mike likely thinks he's a fucking tool, which is exactly how his body language and even language language came across. Its hard to respect someone who does business with Doucette. I think Eric is trying g to save his own reputation and Mike is doing some heavy hazing making him look dumb on camera to let him know how stupid it is to get in bed with Greg doucette

The one are rows take more time but also help create balance and help you find weak points in your movement from left to right.

You don’t rest for nearly as long because one side of your back is resting while the other one is working. Milo Wolf is also not a fan of doing single arm variations.

I always love the videos with you and Eric, he seemingly really looks up to you and it's just great to see - you just bounce off of each other so well! I'll definetly try the one arm pulldown tomorrow on my pull day. The stretch on it looks crazy!

Forget all that. Jason Blaha told me barbell rows and deadlifts are all I need for my back.

I've been doing what I experimented with and figured out, a kneeling one arm cable pull down leaning out a bit, this is a great help to modify closer to what you're doing.

3:34 Somehow it confuses me from looking at it, it looks like a upper back exercise not a lat one why
@ryanleal17642 ай бұрын
No it’s definitely a lat focused exercise mainly bc of how close he’s keep his arm to his torso. If he was flared out it would be more of an upper back focus

I’ve been doing single arm cable pulls all summer on my pull days and my back has definitely grown more than any of my other body parts. I can’t wait to try these variations and the rope pull my next pull day
