[@UltraSrbina]

[@ghostlystitches8288]

Tips for self: -feet slightly wider than hip, but narrower than shoulder width -taller = wider stance -optional: point feet outwards to give preferred comfort -bar lay over mid foot-toe -grip bar just outside knee width -wider & overhand grip = easier to pull to sternum, works traps & back, allows wider elbow flare -narrower & underhand grip = easier to pull bar lower, works lats more, tucks elbows more & works biceps more To start: -deadlift bar into position while keeping back neutral -push hips back/ out while going down & slightly bending knees -STOP if hamstring flexibility prevents further motion or if u round ur back to reach lower -> instead, widen stance & grip -more parallel to ground = more range of motion, BUT do what's comfortable until u get form down (b/w 15-45⁰ is normal) -avoid being too upright (works more of upper traps, rather than back) -avoid straining lower back (fix starting position and height & width) -keep core TIGHT AF (you'll notice that wen u do it right) -drive elbows up/ back til bar touches sternum area (hard bone mid chest) -squeeze shoulder blades together -keep chest up/ aligned w head & backs & hips -don't row shoulders forward wen pulling -> instead, lighten weight & focus on pulling shoulders back & squeezing shoulder blades together -controlled descension & don't be lazy w form

[@catalyzt7162]

0:47 muscles worked: lats, mid/lower traps and rear delts. Tweaking grip changes which muscles are emphasises. 1:27 Setup: place feet slightly wider than hip width but narrower than shoulder width. But experiment and do what's comfortable (you can also rotate foot outward if that helps). Bar should be over midfoot. Grip the bar just outside width of the knees, experiment slightly wider or narrower. (wider = bar goes higher to sternum and elbows flared out which emphasises upper back muscles) (narrower = bar goes lower to belly button and elbows tucked in which emphasises the lats). Mistake 1: Don't grip too narrow or too wide. 3:50 setup into starting position: deadlift bar into standing position whilst keeping back neutral. Push hips out whilst lightly bending knees and lowering the barbell down. Stop at point where hamstring flexibilty limits you from going down further without rounding your back. Most people will be able to do this between 15 to 45 degree angle. Gradually you will be able to become more parallel to the ground to have a greater range of motion. Mistake 2: Avoid performing the move too upright > 45 degrees. Avoid going past your end range of hamstring flexibilty by getting too low to where your back rounds as a result. 5:05 Row up (concentric): Contract abs and row weight up by thinking about driving elbows up and slightly back until bar touches (Narrow grip- Bar touches belly) (Wide grip- Bar touches sternum 45 degree angle). As you row up, you want to squeeze your shoulder blades together to stop shoulders from internally rotating, if you're having trouble with this you need to lighten the weight. 6:36 Row descent (eccentric): Contract abs whilst contracting weight back down. As you lower weight let your scapula protract back out rather than keeping them squeezed. At the very bottom, when the arms are straight, contract the triceps to minimise biceps involvement for the following rep. Mistake 3: Avoid letting back round as you drop weight. Avoid letting gravity drop the weight, it's better to control the eccentric. 7:39 Extra tips: It's okay to do lower weight higher reps (10-15) if you feel it better in your back that way. If this is too demanding on your lower back then you can modify it by performing it off a rack and rest the barbell on the rack after each rep.

For me, drastically dropping weight helped immensely. I was repping twice the weight but in absolute terrible form. If you can control the motion correctly, less weight means effectiveness.

[@filipecroaro]

Jeremy, why did you recommend doing Chest Supported Rows instead of Bent-Over Barbell Rows in your science based back workout?

[@FishHez]

I'm not sure about the back workout video, but in the science-based upper body he recommends alternating between Chest-Supported Rows and Barbell Rows for each workout.

[@filipecroaro]

From his website: I’d personally suggest using a chest-supported horizontal row in this workout since it minimizes the involvement of the lower back in the movement. This is because research shows that back exercises that involve less lower back involvement often provide better upper back activation. And since your erector spinae has already gotten a good workout from the deadlifts performed earlier, let’s just say that your lower back will thank you!

[@marinus1908]

Why not mention the pendlay row as a great alternative. More friendly for lower back after heavy squat or deadlift sessions

[@Manjai122]

because most people dont have the proper hamstring flexibility to perform a pendlay row correctly

Perfect timing man! I've been trying to perfect my full body routine lately as I'm just getting started (again) and I've decided that my back needs to be a major focus especially since I'm using a home gym and don't have any cool machines or pulldowns

[@bigt1013]

Don’t need pull downs, pull ups are far superior I’d focus on weighted pull ups and bent over row those are the only back exercises you’ll ever need especially if you do pull ups with good form pulling your chest towards the bar. Pull downs are trash if you ask me.

[@Swenthorian]

​@@bigt1013 Good advice if you can do pullups. Even in the best shape of my life, weightlifting on the high school football team (strongest kid on the team) and doing two-a-days, I could do 3 pullups, max. For most of my life, I've not been able to do any. The barrier to entry with rowing is lower, but the technique is harder.

[@bigt1013]

@@Swenthorian Same when I was in hs I couldn’t do pull-ups for the life of me, but was relatively strong otherwise. Once I started training again I focused on pull ups, and would do 5-10 sets of as many as I could. Eventually I got to 15 body weight and added weight. I started at 4-5 the first day I did them again and it felt extremely hard, but eventually they get a lot easier.
