How to build a huge back (hypertrophy workout)

what's up guys in this video I take you through my first hypertrophy workout where I do back and traps and get a crazy pump! I started off by doing some barbell rows, then into lat pull downs, then barbell shrugs, and finished off with some wrist curls. I think this workout incorporates some of the best back exercises you can do and I'm

Thank you for helping us!! Love your channel Joey!

I appreciate this video alot , no one really talks about how your body morphs and hand positions on machines change just a lil bit, I always check to see what's the most effective way for lat pulldowns myself every other week because my body changes slightly

Great vid Joe! You have killer traps!👊

you look plenty lean already to start a nice slow bulk. What's the rationale behind leaning out more? Personal goals?

Good stuff brother I see Dr Mike's form in your lifts the video was great it was Dr Mike-esq and Dr Mike is the shit!! You're also the shit rock on man!!👍👌👏👊😎💯

[@FitchFitchFitch]

Do you notice that your wrists roll forward on the bottom of the lat pulldown? is this done intentionally? Thanks, Great video!

[@SzatStrength]

this was due to my straps coming lose cause of the material, i swapped them out or didn't use them after this.

Good stuff like the purple tAnk.

Quarantine got me lazy as hell, but I should put in some shrug work. Great video!

Its not quarantine. Quarantine is for the sick. This is unlawful detainment.

get after it!

[@paulshortall6734]

Is the pull down superior to pull up other than rep range (I only have a rack w/ bars)

[@shittalksunday3644]

not necessarily. Both are a vertical pull (the motion is up and down, not forward and back). It all depends on what you have and what you want to do. But you are not missing out on anything if all you have for a vertical pull is pullups.

[@ThePlaterism]

Does anyone know what he takes?

[@madgamer574]

Awesome! Gonna implement these tips once we get back to the gym. I haven’t found your split on your instagram, is it there?

[@El_Rey-V]

Eric would disapprove, not enough glute drive on those rows haha

[@Gargarks]

Are the lighter weights in this video just for demo purposes? Or is that part of the hypertrophy program just to get higher volume before you fatigued?

[@loljk9443]

You’ll notice that if you have very little experience in hypertrophy specific training that this happens. It’s a humbling bitch. But a fun one nonetheless

[@elbluepatato]

I like this content

[@alanlawson6669]

Those flexion rows are torture , seem you doing them on Mikes channel and gave them a bash ! Great content as always Joey ! So you doing hypertrophy block and stopping training for your comp now ?

[@SzatStrength]

comp is postponed so training this way until further notice

[@alanlawson6669]

@@SzatStrength let the doms commence, good luck haha !

[@adamstidman1021]

Who makes that red plate loaded lat pulldown? I like how the plates are loaded in the center, rather than out to the sides like most.

[@germanvolkov8607]

Bro, what are you doing with your wrists on lat pulldown?

[@e.e.8589]

Why are you doing this wristcurl motion at the bottom of the lat-pulldown?

[@SzatStrength]

my straps were sliding so after this I stopped using the nylon straps to prevent that.

[@giantsloth126]

Are you going to be incorporating heavy compound movements to keep the your 1RMs from falling? Or is that counter productive?

[@jacobhate]

Just cause he's training for hypertrophy doesn't mean he's not doing compounds.

[@giantsloth126]

Giannis Antetokounmpo the question isn’t whether or not he’s doing compounds. It’s whether or not he’s going to continue doing some 90% of 1RM work to keep his 1RM from falling.

[@jacobhate]

@@giantsloth126 does it look like it in the video? And if his current goal is hypertrophy its not optimal to work in such low rep ranges

[@SamuraiRF]

@@giantsloth126 You really don't need to go north of 90 to keep strength. 90+ is more for displaying and peaking. You're gonna build strength in the 65-85 range.

[@giantsloth126]

Giannis Antetokounmpo the video obviously isn’t going to show the totality of his training.

[@zvc03]

Joey, are you doing Push/Pull/Legs split or how do you structure your weekly workouts?

[@danielscha2796]

Nice workout!! But i maybe would skip the wrist flexion when you do the lat pulldowm

[@SzatStrength]

this was due to my straps coming lose cause of the material, i swapped them out or didn't use them after this.

[@danielscha2796]

Haha but don‘t get me wrong, I‘m absolutely not in a position to give you workout tips....you‘re a beast man!! ;)

[@EverAscendingSyndrome]

Bro you know who Yujiro is (dude from baki) you look like him. For strong man which exercises would you recommend to focus on if you don't have strongman equipment like top 2 or 3. I'm wondering if there is anything specifically that would vary out the norm as opposed to the big 3 in powerliftering. I'm guessing OHP... I'm low-key interested in strongman because I have descent cardio and athleticism and love to compete. I just need to bulk up a little more I'm 230 but want to compete at 240. I think a 365 pause bench 240 strict ohp and 600 dead will be a solid strength base. I can run close to a sub 6:00 mile whenever I want so conditioning is on point. Keep grinding bro...👊💪

[@EverAscendingSyndrome]

@Goku Vegeta Thanks brother!

[@casimirsobon5213]

Great channel, what is the lat pull down machine brand? Ive seen it on Dr. Mikes IG as well

[@SzatStrength]

not sure, mine is very old don't know what mike has!

[@exgamer2708]

What he means by superset in first exercise?

[@PaytonDowns]

Do you do any work with Broderick Chavez?

[@altide8784]

I do the shrugs the same way but still no response, i can feel my traps getting harder in general but not bigger

[@SzatStrength]

hmmmmmm

[@richardrussel4567]

Maybe try more weight less reps?

[@matyasv4974]

If you are not on a cycle your traps will struggle. Thats life

[@krane15]

@@matyasv4974 Cycle can compensate for bad form. Which is not to say that strict form is not essential.

[@krane15]

@@richardrussel4567 No. Traps are not a huge muscle, so they need intensity before weight. Most guys shrug up then drop the weight. I pull the weight up, then hold and squeeze at the top before lower the weight slowly. The best trap exercise is upright rows. Targets traps and rear delts. I just wish I could still do them but I have nerve damage in my right shoulder. I used to get compliments on my traps every day.

Whats meaning of hypertrophy

Is deadlift necessary for building a huge back?

[@song0219]

Hello shoutout from Malaysia! Whatsapp!!

[@BlaznUnicorn27]

I was just wondering what are some good alternatives to lat pull down as my gym does not have the equipment :/

[@SkydelLP]

Pull Ups 100%

[@karangupta2292]

I would be careful about letting the barbell hang on your fingers during wrist curls. That puts a lot of pressure on the tendons of your fingers which is connected to your elbow. As a result, you may end up getting golfers elbow. (I got golfers elbow doing this in the past)

[@mulacula9540]

I think I got this on my right elbow its less but my right elbow I still have that horrible feeling after weeks and sometime I dont feel it during training and other times I do same goes for rest days.

Back and traps? What about HIPS!!!!!!

[@SzatStrength]

HOW COULD I FORGET

[@krane15]

FROM is so overrated. I'm tall (6'4), and when I tried FROM all I got was extremely sore joints for my troubles. My joint burned out long before my muscle ever got any real work. Funny you should mention getting lean as ever since that was my goal after all the gyms closed.

[@arminiuschieftainofthecher2780]

You get sore(r) joints from doing full ROM? That seems odd, I’m 6’6” and in my experience full range of motion tends to be better because you don’t hammer one hyper specific tendon/joint movement repeatedly under heavy load.

[@krane15]

@@arminiuschieftainofthecher2780 It doesn't take the wisdom of Solomon to know that the further away a weight is from the lever the more pressure it will place on the joints (and connective tissue). That's true for any mechanical device which is why longer poles will be thicker or not span as far without additional supports than a shorter one. It could be that you're a genetically gifted with significantly beefier joints than I have. But its more likely that you're simply using a much lighter weight. Since neither of us mentioned the weight during any particular exercise, there's no way to know for sure. Furthermore, I suspect that over time you will notice the increasing soreness more.

[@Eudaimonia88]

Bent wrists on the Lat Pulldown? Please don't!!! It hurts me just watching this.... Dr. Mike, please come and shout your instructions at this guy!
