Then after you done that you should smr roll your muscles arourn your scapulas: when you rolling around your left scapula, you need to cross your left arm front of your body, by pulling your left arm's elbow across your body with your right arm. And opposite on the other side. And dont forget to do this also to your lats, by rotating your body even more, still pulling your arm across. but be careful with your lats. I had right front shoulder pain for a year, couldnt compete because of that, but 1 hour of this back session had done miracles with my tight back.

The traps and general back area (lats, rhomboids, etc) is very durable and the risk of injury from heavy loads is relatively low, but the problem is they usually require assistance from the lower back which is much easier to blow. Shrugging x3 your bodyweight and rowing x1.5 your bodyweight while bent over more than 45 degrees might not be problematic for your upper back but are extremely taxing on your lower back!

That's why you need those spinal erectors of steel and if you use momentum it has to come from the hips, not the lower back. I really don't think it's about the weight itself, it's about if you can handle it. If you start out to row and shrug 20lb, or even 10, so what. Take your time to get to those crazy weights and don't do more than you can handle, but don't be afraid to go heavy if you can.

Very good points, especially on the chest, so many people are scared of tearing their chest with all those videos going around the internet. But people fail to se that 1 The chest is probably one of if not THE muscle group that gets the most overworked the f out in men. And 2 Many bodybuilders still incorporate unsafe methods to target the chest just for the sake of mind muscle connection. I still see so many people flaring their elbows, raising their freaking feet off the floor, rounding the shoulders, keeping a flat back, looking like they're in an inquisition device while doing flyes. Etc. When in reality the chest is a smaller muscle than most people think, it performs very basic movements and thus doesn't need to get hit directly as much. The main reason why people have big bench numbers isn't because of the chest only, it's because as a compound movement it incorporates the strength of multiple muscle groups.

One positive reason I can think of using hook grip over double overhand w straps is cueing tight lats on floor pulls of any kind. Anecdotally, I feel that getting the lats tighter with hook grip comes more naturally, as you have to externally rotate your arms as your hold the bar to keep the grip. This external rotation goes hand in hand with pulling your lats back imo.

Running a modified push/pull routine can help to correct anterior/posterior imbalances in the legs. Every training day you're either isolating the quads, or the hamstrings and glutes instead of in a conventional training approach where you'd be trying to select lower body exercises to favor one group over the other. Often in that approach the stronger muscle group continues to dominate the weaker one, and the imbalance persists for much longer than it needs to, if it doesn't actually get worse.

I started getting really bad jaw clicking on one side, and it ended up getting so bad that I literally couldn't eat. Layed off the shrugs and it ended up correcting itself. My theory is that because the traps connect halfway up the neck, the weighted stretch at the bottom pulled the jaw out of alignment.

0:42 If you can bench press 3 plates? That's a big "if" 20:55 Logical reason? Because hook grip is not hard to learn and allows you to totally eliminate the risk of a bicep tear when you don't have straps. Another tool in the toolbox.

Superb content as always Alex great work! Advice* make sure if you havent already to have good mobility and flexibily in your legs to hit good depth in your squat. If you dont have this you will hurt yourself period. stretch your achilies tendon, stretch your calf, strerch ur hip flexor, and get comfertable in a deep squat position. Thats my advice lemme know ur thoughts?

i strained my hamstrings once or twice by squatting and neglecting hamstrings. Ever since then i started smashing the hamstrings at least double the quadvolume and simultanously my kneepain mostly went away!

I would add that for the biceps distal tendon nothing beats straight arm ring flies or planche leans if you do not have access to weights.

I’ve been using a pull up bar and rings for a year and a half, I’ve never had better gains in my life!
