“ for the pull up that was too heavy for you to do” 😂😂😂 bro just roasted so many people

[@petermwangi6801]

I felt that line!🤣🤣

[@ValeriaM1983]

That was funny indeed

[@brunooka]

Most advanced bodybuilders can’t do it because they’re too heavy 😊

[@apseudonym]

I didn't see that as shade. it's just the reality for a lot of us, especially women who have stronger lower bodies

[@waiting404godot]

A How-To for every exercise would be amazing!

[@scunny]

The video would be 8 hours long 🤣

[@awsomeboxhead]

Or a series of 5-minute videos

[@HAMlLTON]

that’s his entire channel bud

[@andreswolfgang5783]

Honestly bro if you take a look at his older videos there's plenty of how to stuff in there as well. I feel like he's made so much content that he's actually repeated himself a couple of times.

[@tuts40]

To the point, no BS yapping and providing good demonstrations for each point. Thank you.

[@lolmenneke4102]

He is yapping to much

[@zonedout6432]

I think they actually make a lot more money from 10min videos too so this was really nice of him to post.

[@t041301]

This is so important and no one talks about it. The range, driving your elbows into your pocket is a very good way to explain it. I wish people focus on these fundamentals before other things

[@sachinyadav6194]

What does driving your elbows into your pocket means here ?

[@weaponx6473]

@@sachinyadav6194 body mind conection. if you think of pulling your elbows to your pockets you will focus on your back lats. if you pull with your hands down.. you will focus on biceps/shoulders.

[@core_ardendo]

A How-To for every major exercise would be great! Also get well Jeff!

[@sunriseboy4837]

Shit, what do you want for nuthin'?!

[@nightwolf9951]

Jeff ascending graciously made me chuckle 🤣

[@eddiebruv]

Perfectly timed video for me. I’ve just started using the pull down in my workout. Will be applying your advice. Thanks.

[@voulek8979]

Yes, I would like more "How-To's" for every exercise. Thanks

[@alvinknk]

KZbin is flooded with fitness "influencers". But Jeff sets the standard so high that no one is near his level. He is scientific, yet his explanations are as clear cut as it can be for everyone. There is this video of his on doing the pull up, I followed it and bam! The movement fell instantly easier!

[@Sergi_9]

Even if you have a lot of gym experience you can always learn something by watching Athlean-X. Love this channel❤️💪🏻

[@BigstickNick]

If nothing else, you’ll have that “oh, that’s why I do that” moment

[@johnerwin9024]

Like detail he goes into here:positions to work different back areas A+ ✔

[@Triggerfish20]

Hey, I'm a recreational tennis player, and I'm coming towards the end of my season. Last off season, I made a ton of progress in the gym. When the season started this year, I found myself going to the gym less and less. After a couple months of playing tennis 3-4 nights a week and no time spent in the gym, I found my body struggling to keep up. I'm sure there are many other recreational athletes here that would love a video explaining how to train off season, as well as maintaining our bodies during the season. Thanks Jeff for everything else so far!

[@ClayGunslinger]

The real challenge is finding a machine that isn't being used.

Always been one of my favorite back exercises with many varieties in grip!

[@kamilmus]

You can always learn something new, every time with Jeff. These finer points are invaluable. Thank you Jeff. You the Man!

[@Macumazahn]

Thanks Jeff! Turns out I've been doing my absolute favourite exercise kinda wrong all these years. 😩 (gripping too wide and leaning back) Despite this I have ended up with a decent, wide back (of which I'm very proud 😁) so I'm really looking forward to unlocking the remaining gains that have been left on the table for so long. Every day's a school day! Thanks again. 🙏

[@terrytorres4518]

Another outstanding lesson in Kinesiology Jeff. Your how to videos have been very helpful and I can feel the difference throughout my routines. Thank You!

[@somnathbiswas4604]

being into fitness for about 2 yrs this is the best detailed and accurate and ideology behind the excercise.... thanks for the knowledge

[@npx_riff_lift-g]

I think one of the back exercises I wanted to see a breakdown of was the Incline Bench Dumbbell Row. John Meadows highlighted it a few years ago, and to this day, that lift has been the peak back contraction exercise for me. I’m curious about your take on it; imo it’s safe, functional, scalable, and adjustable. EDIT- To help clarify the confusion in the comments, this is the exercise I’m referring to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKuzpnZmjZtsgcksi=byIoqcgzKbJWixli

[@timl.b.2095]

Actually, it's not as safe as it seems. Jeff has been injured with it, and has videos on it. You might want to google his video: Back Exercises Ranked (BEST TO WORST), which actually goes from worst to best.

[@mannyortiz3656]

all about the meadows row IMO

[@JackSloan]

@@timl.b.2095 Are you talking about dumbbell bent over rows..? Where Jeff mentions that he prefers to do it standing and in a more athletic stance? I think Davidnewman868 is talking about a different exercise entirely. Could be totally wrong though

[@thebeatmajors_yt]

​@@timl.b.2095not true. You're talking about having one leg (knee) up on the bench.

[@thebeatmajors_yt]

​@@JackSloanno you're right. Bro thought he did something 😂

[@zostube]

Brilliant, exactly what I have been waiting and looking for. The how tos at this level of detail and the "why" of them is a breath of fresh air❤

[@thaerresor5629]

Noticed some change in your voice jeff, hope you doing okay, stay healthy

[@jstew7777777]

So helpful and concise! I would love a how to video for every major lift!

[@jaredjordan7935]

Love these quick how to videos Jeff! Can't wait to see you do more of them. Your understanding of the body and how it functions is second to none. The true goat!

[@cunctator8160]

Jeff, you're doing everything the way science teaches. I enjoy training thanks to you💪🏻

[@Byrds1967]

Thanks Jeff, you are my "go to" guy on every exercise. The results are happening.

[@zeroman155]

Gratitude for this video Jeff. 👌

[@DepartmentOfJustice]

Outstanding explanation. I never knew about the grip positioning or the "front pocket" cue; going to incorporate that into my workout and see how it feels. This and your overhead press video may have saved my upper body training, not to mention my shoulders. You may have covered some of this already, but it would be great to see some videos on exercise modifications for overweight trainees. Core exercises and squats would be especially helpful.

[@Moroukkeli]

I like this kind of videos. Straight forwarded, it shows variations. Practical examples where to pull your elbows etc.

[@hasnaouiahmed90]

🔥 shreds so good no markers needed 😂

[@sari-eljarrah]

You are just the best at explanation and I was not paid to say that 👍🏼 I saved this video.

More how to videos for sure. Applying proper mechanics I've learned from you have transformed my workouts.

Thanks again for a great info video. I've been following your advice for about 6 months and have not only seen growth, but as a medically retired paratrooper with joint problems and surgeries, I've had growth with less pain.

Great video Jeff! Are you interested to show us some box jump variations, or other plyometrics?

[@roccomiller2647]

Thankyou. Working with a home gym and didnt realize i needed to sit lower to make sure i could fully extend my arms up. That did the trick! Delts next please!

Thank you so much, needed the details on how. It's awesome that your body shows all muscles working. ❤

[@smileydog5941]

Big ups for making this he distinction between upper-back focus and lat focus.

[@TheHolydruid]

Thanks the grip part helped me so much, I had to go in between my two "handles" on the bar and it took so much off my elbow and biceps.

[@saran3322]

For the first time in my life, I actually felt a lat pull IN MY LATS!! Thank u so much

Please please more of these. Whenever I start a new program, I do a search here first on how to correctly do the exercises.

[@kimdavis1091]

Great tips thanks Jeff.. I’m 61 & implement almost all of your videos 🦾

[@dividendapacolypse6060]

Just the video i needed. I recently lowered the weight a lot this week just to go back to basics and make sure the form is right. Pointless to keep adding weight if form is off

[@DaveQV]

We need a video on how to get a wider neck, Jeff. Thank you

[@christophermorgan1693]

Thanks for this. I have a home gym with a high and low plate loaded pulley system in a power rack. It's worked great for me as the stack is 1:1 with a 360lb weight limit, however it doesn't have the pad which is the first thing you say is important in this video. One way to rig one is to place a barbell with a pad under the safeties while sitting on a bench, I was doing this but it's really annoying to set it up, what I do now is I just do lat pulldowns from the floor from a kneeling position, that allows me to lift a lot heavier and get a longer stretch at the top.

[@ninjato1014]

My man I got better body now following your advice ( I'm 53 ) started looking your video 4 years ago , Im training from my 18 years, why I didn't have you in my teen

[@leannahattaway7085]

Love your site and your videos. I refer to you often for instruction on how to do a particular lift or what is the best lift to work a particular muscle. This video came out on lat pull-down day and I really noticed the difference by keeping in mind the various cues you reference. Thank you! More how-to on individual lifts would be great. For reference, I am a 60yo female trying to build some muscle.

Hi Jeff. This video was very helpful and informative. I appreciate your no BS approach to physical fitness.

[@Audentia89]

Cool! The only "wrong" I did was a bit of a wide grip! That's pretty awesome, this is my favourite exercise 👌

[@davidt1621]

That's a great tip about pausing at the end of the eccentric for applied tension in the stretch-position to stimulate muscle growth. I learned another key to stimulating muscle growth in the Army: Work out your muscles to true muscular failure and stop living in the gym just to do a few million reps of diddly squat every day. Keeps your metabolism up, and no matter how fast or slow your muscles twitch, none of them are twitching when you reach true muscle failure and your body has to rebuild the whole thing bigger and stronger after every time you hit the gym. But I understand that's hard, and going to the gym every day on easy mode feels good. Carry on.

[@eleishae]

Literally I come to Athlean X class weekly - thank YOU! 😂
