The value from this channel is insane you are not going to get this kind of information anywhere else and the way Mike explains and shows everything is high grade content. I also love the honesty & realness from him because immediately I had to re assess and hold myself accountable for some of the dumb shit I do in the gym in terms of how to use certain equipment, learning how to connect with your body and addressing ego lifting.

[@nickmrkobrada8027]

did a back only session today. Never have I felt my back on pull downs like that. So good. So glad i came across this channel. Great filming and colour grading as well!! (Just a bonus)

[@rogerwelsh2335]

I agree! I just started doing them this way and it’s awesome. I have a rear shoulder injury caused by putting it in bad positions on many lifts over the years. With this technique, I’m not feeling the pain from it.

[@Ksekhon]

These are some of the greatest lifting ques I have ever come across. Definitely original content that you CANNOT find on any other channel! Legend

[@MikeVanWyck]

Thanks.

[@metaversenft]

After years of watching KZbin bodybuilders, this is by far the BEST back tutorial ever. Period. Happy thick back development and contractions fellas!

[@MikeVanWyck]

Thanks mike

[@armandomartinez5492]

My chest been growing massively because of you man!! Thank you!

[@MikeVanWyck]

Awesome

[@adampetherick6266]

I watched you back training episodes I saved them and watch them over and over again I lost 40 lb of fat my back open up now my Parsha is improved it took me .a year-and-a-half watching your videos to learn how to properly open your back thank you

[@Jackedwithvip]

Mike's videos should be kept under z+ security protocol, insane knowledge this Man has ❤🙌

[@dreamrider2956]

LMAO.. "Wounded Seal". Priceless.. Dig the rants and channel info..

[@gporr7004]

His explanations are so simple to understand and makes it so clear as to what angles your body needs to be at and why. Most people just say certain things and assume you know what it means in practice. I finally felt my back work yesterday for the first time in a long time listening to these videos.

[@robertharris3404]

Best coach on KZbin hands down you explain things very well keep doing what you are doing Everything you have shown shows that I was doing it wrong as far as chest tris so I actually started doing it the way you do it I can say I have been sore and with less weight so keep up the good work Big Mike 💪🏾💪🏾

[@mihailozimonjic8398]

First like, then watch. Cant believe how much this man helped me connect with my back. It feels like i can feel it more than my biceps xD.

[@MikeVanWyck]

Awesome

[@douglasachaiba7885]

Legendary video! Another video where you can join in and work out with the wycked master! Really enjoyed this video to help the back grow only one way... THE WYCKED WAY!

[@johnathonbennett1980]

I think for me he breaks down like no other person…I understand how and why my back or any other body part reacts! Truly one outstanding coach!

[@MikeVanWyck]

Appreciate u guys watching

[@ramonarias1209]

Ever since I started watching you I like 2 do a couple of sets of lat pulldown and cable tricep extensions before I bench press and I been getting great results!! So thank you for all these awesome videos Mike !

[@MikeVanWyck]

Happy to help Ramon

[@TengoMtchedlidze]

Try seated cable row instead of lat pulldown before bench press

[@andresgiraldo625]

Man! My training style changed since I've watched your first video

[@MikeVanWyck]

Happy I could help

[@dufusboy93]

That track analogy was a huge eye opener for me

[@aceshibyoch9603]

Working back has become one of my favorite days thanks to these videos. I worked with lighter weights than I normally would for about 3 months after finding this channel. Yesterday I hit a PR on bench press. It actually works, using lighter weights, yes you build muscle and power! One question though, on back, you mention to keep your elbows in front of you during contraction - is it detrimental (physiologically) to squeeze them back further? There's no pain or stiffness if I do, but I see you limiting it a bit. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks for the vid Mike. Keep them coming! Think I'm going to have to make a trip to Canada and schedule a session!

[@mickstick2830]

Hey Mike , just a brief second i want to thank you from explaining all these things. I have been Bodybuilding/training for about 15 years now. I screwed up my shoulderblade thanks to listening to so many claimed know it all's. Keeping my SCAPULA locked all the friggin time has created a lot of pain over the years. If anyone reads this, DON'T do it ! Thanks for the knowledge Mike 🙂. Greating from another Mike , from Belgium.

I absolutely love these videos. Mike is just like me and I love it!!! So much info in 1 video, listen up young ppl

[@Jmon808]

Thank you sir!!! Pushing and tucking the chin/head back is so critical!!! Nobody talks about this. So important for back work and staying injury free

[@mrjro68]

Yes !! Mr Wyck what you said about Kevin L. is right

[@hunterboyette5905]

Nice watching your movement on the one arm plate-loaded row machine. I have been wondering how my form stacks up with yours just going off mental queue's I've picked up off of you here and there. Killer tempo as always. "Look off" mental note helped me a lot as well. Killer video as always

Hey Mike! I would love to see a video where you explain training and nutrition from scratch. What would you recommend from your personal standpoint and point of view to somebody who steps into the gym for the first time

[@hayzayat489]

light weights does affect the over all size though, really depends on what course and substance you take.

[@MattFlyFisher]

Man the amount of priceless, gamechanging cues Mike gives us in these videos are incredible🤯 I find myself hearing a new one from him then immediately standing up to practice it to hopefully make that connection with my body to brain 🤷‍♂️🤣💪

[@Nomvd90]

Blood and guts I remember that bodybuilding com routine 💪🏼

[@musclemedicine_M.D]

The Most accurate part was the last 4minutes! 1st 30mins is preference, personal assumptions, opinion on what’s happening during various movements-as expected. *hopefully in 20yrs exercise science will have caught up & done all the hard research to have textbooks laying 80% out as black & white. Then they can have 9hr Long 600 pg US National PT exams that test you on every fact in every textbook of note as well as test your ability to think critically on client cases etc. This alone should weed out 80% of online “coaches” & can be done in every area too (ie. Diet, PED/Pharmacology-yes you’d actually have to learn all of pharma not just 3 mechanisms of action)

[@rocbronson]

I love listening to Wycked, but man pullovers did a great job building my lats.. That machine is amazing when using it properly.

[@ironmeagher5925]

really like your analysist on every movement .You are the GOAT of Our generation Sir!!!

[@jjohns17]

Bodybuilding Wyckipedia! 🙌🏼💪🏻 Added in a back workout and did a follow along with this video and really improved my cable pull down. Night and day. Also fine tuned my row more. Very helpful content Mike!

Awesome

Forcing chin down and back has been a game-changer for me.

One of the biggest lessons from Mike for everyone using a Hammer Strength Row is take ALL plates off. Not some, not leave one, ALL.

'The natural flow of the body'. That is an interesting remark.

14:10. I had tried almost single-arm movement under the sun but still couldn’t connect w lat. Last month, I tried this w my gym’s hammer strength machine and, thank the Lord (and Big Mike), I connected w lat. Hard soreness in lats next 2 days confirmed it. Thx, Mike.

[@bobmac9070]

If recall both reading and watching Dorian it wasn’t the positive he emphasized it was the “slow” negative retraction to the top (at least 5 second count) letting it return to the top. That was one of his main exercises for last and barbell rows.

[@badboyreeves]

big mike! do you do online coaching services?

Hi Mike , this is so true with breathing , you just Killed them with 26 inches legs :D finally someone to tell the truth , so much useful information , thank you :)))))))))

Mike I believe that it comes back to their thinking that it's more important to complete a certain rep count rather than working the muscle.

Educational true teacher

[@robbo8074]

I don't know anyone who thinks a pullover machine is the be all and end all but it is a good tool if used correctly which i do agree most people don't, i always use it in pre exhaust super set into a pull down, definitely don't over stretch with it and no need to go heavy, yes you want to drive the elbows into the pads and down but try doing the conccentric with a slow tempo just like you would on the eccentric
