Fouad Abiad Back Workout | Hosstile University

[@jacksonmann3764]

Unbelievably underrated Channel.

[@joelmate4071]

I was about to say the same thing! This guy knows his shit!

[@AGC828]

That's because he's CDN (I am too) and his name isn't Mike O'Hearn. But, Bouad's channel goes into more explanation so we can get it right (novices, people working out for themselves )...who don't know or just want to get the most out of the exercise. And target the right muscle groups. Most Pro's just glance over the technique. How to do it properly.

Fouad is quickly becoming my go to for training, eating and motivation. I love training back and this is awesome advice. BTW thanks for the tip about the sushi rice in your previous cooking vid. I wouldn’t go back to regular white rice. Keep up the hard work.

Fouad is the voice bodybuilding needs right now. He’s bringing smart, honest, proven knowledge to a bodybuilding media world taken over by the hacks.

Hoss bout to put these "fitness influencers" out of business with solid info that is applicable.

[@sicmic]

I've followed many channels over the years for training advice, nutrition advice etc. Fouad has become my favourite. He just tells it like it is with absolutely zero bullshit. And he genuinely wants his followers to do well and improve.

[@FouadAbiad]

sicmic thank you!

[@CG-wk6oe]

Your “Pulling from the elbow, and not your hand/wrist” comment to activate more of your lat muscle when doing pull downs is spot on. GREAT TIP!! Thanks!

[@boroofus9069]

It's nice to hear that top guys like you have days when you feel shitty & weak too. Thanks for the knowledge & motivation Fouad. I'm not a competitor. Just a 40-year-old dad of 2 kids, trying to fight age & be better today than I was yesterday. I really appreciate all this stuff you put out.

[@CG-wk6oe]

I have followed you for a long, long time. I really like they way you break everything down (cooking, meal plans/prep, workouts, etc.) for the most inexperienced person to understand. You are the standard people should follow. Thank you very much for what you do for the sport!!!💪💪💪💪

[@alexpaden9320]

The man, The myth, The legend. Fouad always tells it like it is, no sugar coating. Love it. thanks for the tips!

[@ArkanSubotic]

was debating on chest or back today and now youve made my mind up for me :)

[@will6117]

all of your videos r so real n straight forward, not forgetting all the small details. u aint tryin to hide any knowledge or what so ever. Thanks sir🙏 from the deepest heart. I've been using personal trainer for couple years n yet after subscribing to your channel for less than a month I got more tips🙏salute

[@jamessethmoore]

I agree 100% on the pull down for the first exercise and for the same reason you mentioned.

[@realestatesquats2174]

Dude, the way you explain things, and the tips you give along with the reasoning-- priceless. Started watching you more after the Tennyson leg workout collaboration. Been working out 5 years and you’ve already changed how I think through my workouts and form. Thank you

[@jamesfarrell483]

Came across this video last week,.and it was a complete game changer for me. I started lifting again 4-5 months ago and i havent been able to really activate my back and feel the workouts in my lower Lats. This video showed me everything i was doing wrong (pulling into my chest, pulling with my hands instead of my elbows, intensity of my sets to name a few). I made some adjustments from these tips my lats are SORE as hell right now. Thanks dude.

[@nathanthomas9144]

Most underrated channel on KZbin only bodybuilder that speaks sence and talks real not telling the people what they want to hear , keep it up big man should have a lot more subs than you've got 👌

[@Bobsonomatic]

10:35 this is gold. I’ve been lifting for two years and had the hardest time with the mind-muscle connection in my back muscles, but I figured this out about six months ago and my gains have exploded ever since.

[@TWHISPERER]

I have been working out a long time but i can't believe how much there is to learn - going too wide on pull ups, pulling more with your elbow and to your rib cage to thicken your lower lats..Thank You Fouad!

[@jamesschwartz8478]

Thank you for this Hoss, I’ve been doing things wrong for a while. The tips you offer has made a huge difference. Your gym tips, meal prep ideas, and mindset is golden - no b.s. just truth on proven techniques.

[@joebarker6980]

This man and his channel are pure GOLD

[@rohankapila9741]

Best explanation....he takes his time to explain the fundamentals and not rush on them

I know its 2 years old but I hope you and John (RIP) know how many people you guys have helped! Much appreciated as I am one of them

[@IU_419]

Thank you so much! I have learned more since the last 20 minutes than the last years. Absolutely awesome content. No bullshit because there is a camera, no just calm and professional advices. All the best for you!

[@FouadAbiad]

Always the truth and no bullshit!

[@Central_CoastRotors]

Great info Fouad…! Your gym looks like where 99% of people go…..shows that a great workout is in the knowledge and technique, not a fancy name. One of the best channels on KZbin…!

[@courtneyclifford8196]

This is by far one of the most informational videos I've ever watched!!! Watched it over a month ago and have had some of the most killer back days EVER since then. Thanks for all the knowledge Fouad!!

[@ayeejoe52]

One of the BEST channels on KZbin. You and Evan Centopani have the best information available!

[@ESM77]

Bout to kill my back workout! 1. Lat Pulldowns - Shoulder width grip 2. Reverse grip Pulldowns - Make sure to pull until full contraction 3. Bent over row - close grip - bent over at 60 degrees, row into lower abs 4. Smith machine barbell row - row into lower abs 5. Seated cable rows - underhand grip - row into lower abs

[@maxime1432]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@Dogribghost]

Most of the thing he does I do too. And no one example it to me. Im still new and only do these by responding to how mybody is feeling. Learned new things thou. I'm definitely following this guy

[@Akuma_Cam]

The best take away from this video was definitely the speech at the end. That speech really enlightened me and got me fucking motivated. Much love big bro and get well soon!!

[@antonioharvey2130]

Hey thanks sir learned a lot any tips for upper and middle back

[@NikkiJ]

Such an informative video, my back is my weakest part that I try to focus on now, thank you!

[@aniv5833]

Keeping it short - 1) Overhand grip, medium grip lat pull downs 2) Underhand grip machine pull downs / rows 3) T- Bar Rows - bent 45 - 60 degrees 4) Underhand grip smith machine rows 5) Underhand grip seated cable rows. Have optimal mind muscle connection, Pull with the elbows rather than wrists forearms and biceps, increase intensity through shorter rest periods, slow negatives, squeeze and hold, and train till failure all while using moderate weights (Resistance). No excessive swinging, No excessive back leans. Feeling the muscle and applying constant tension is key !!

[@Mikaeel84]

Would love more videos like this for the rest of the body. And something you don't see too often is if your movements, how much you go to failure, how much weight you use, volume or reps change when your cutting.

[@chiguy64]

Didn’t realize how wrong I was with my back workouts. I went into the gym with a purpose after this video and the workout & pump was PHENOMENAL. Thank you!

[@charlesflorio2891]

Sorry to hear about your injury. Sending positive vibes your way and a strong comeback 💪😊.

[@joeabdo7343]

I really appreciate this, I tore my pectoral, partial tear 9 months ago been at the gym hard for 2 months and making Pretty good gains by not focusing too much on how much weight I'm moving I found that too frustrating. Instead I focused on my form and keeping my pace up, light weights. and focused on squeezing the muscle I was working activating the muscle. Anyways. Appreciate This.

[@dard4642]

I added this workout to my mesocycle and did it today. I had no idea I was neglecting my lower lats so badly. I'm beat tonight.

[@elkiefitnesscoaching]

I love these videos, I am making mental notes all the way. The information you provide is so good, really helpful. I am taking everything on board and going to incorporate them into my own training . Thank you ! if only my gym would play your videos in the background, so many people would benefit straight away !!!

Great content I have arthritis in my shoulder and scoliosis in my back. Once my shoulder messed up I had too lower the weight considerably. I had too find ways around my injuries because I love too train it’s therapy. Your exactly right just raise the intensity and find other ways too work the muscle without the heavy weight.

[@FouadAbiad]

Joshua Hudson injuries suck but we find a way! 👊🏽

the amount of knowledge and motivation u get from his vids . amazing

[@Dr_Dude]

Amazing! I needed this video and now I know what I have been doing wrong. While of course I experience growth in the back and width in the lats, it is now clear that I was rowing higher (I have longer torso, body and shorter arms compared to my height,,, 5'10"-5'11"). Thanks a lot Fuad! Edit: The smith machine is my favorite for many exercises when I have no training partner: Inclined chest press, chest press, front delt press, side delt back press, barbell rows. Man, I learned from your channel a LOT more than I learned during my entire life about bodybuilding. Keep posting these videos

[@Dr_Dude]

It indeed works my back a lot better today when I followed your instructions! for the first time i feel my lats right away, kudos!
