[@david.haroun]

Totally agree !

[@Kiwi-pb4hv]

Jeff Cavalier makes too many wishy washy videos that always lead back to the same point or a useless point which many of us won't incorporate in our training, and I just don't seem to like Jeff Nippard anymore, his videos have dropped a bit in quality in terms of training tips. Jeremy is by far the best, he actually influences the way I train with every video which others don't do.

Lat activation drill was INCREDIBLY effective!

[@classiboy1904]

Yes it was

[@fuzzyone4254]

I can't believe just thinking to pull with the elbow makes such a difference in lat activation, thanks a lot.

[@mahdi3521]

1: Pull with the elbows,think of your hands as hooks (lat pulldown) 2: use thumb less grip(lat pulldown) 3: Ephasis upper lats with wide grip pulldown 4: Emphasis lower lats with chins ups 5: Make rowing exercises lat focused ( seated row )

[@jeffumbach]

Yeah an early thing was learning how to not be pulling with my arms which is what you instinctively try to do.

[@drewskeez1156]

I recently strained my digit flexors in my forearm from using a thumbless grip after a few months of pulling this way. When you use a thumbless grip it greatly increases the forces placed on the flexors used to grip. Just something to keep in mind. A better thing to use is Versa grips when pulling...you will get a much better mind muscle connection with those than using the thumbless grip, and you wont have the additional forearm strain like I did. obviously you need to train grip and forearms a bit more separately if you decide to use them.

[@livjunkie]

This is so true, when i first started workin out i couldnt activate the back area correctly and end up workin on my traps more. Since i focus more on the mind muscles connection, my back width is growin like crazy. Focusing on the eccentric movement helps big time.

The lat activation drill has my mind BLOWN! That worked so well! I mean, I don't really have trouble activating my lats but I've never activated them that well. I started getting a cramp! In my lats! Hah sounds funny that I'm so excited over that but damn that hit that muscle PERFECTLY! He starts talking about that about 1:40 for those who might have missed it. I'm saving this video for sure! Edit: I stopped this at the 2:35 mark to write that comment. At 2:38 he said "almost to the point where it even cramps" - so yeah right on the money Jeremy! Thanks for the tip!

[@robertmason6366]

I bloody love this channel. I know exactly what I'm doing after watching this. I incorporated your bicep video last week which was the concertation curls with a 90 rotation on the positive and then the behind the shoulder cable curl (excellent pump and contraction) But the hammer curl on the T bar with the 5 sec contraction on the negative was amazing. It must be doing something right as my arms were thrombing and ful of lactic acid... Keep up the good work 👏

[@kyawhset]

Thank you so damn much, bro! I've been into weigh training for almost close to a decade now. During these times, none of the back/wing workout helps.

I feel like most people (no matter how begrudgingly) are able to 'be good' during the week but are a total train-wreck over the weekend :P

[@tonyteh]

Nice info. Please make a video on getting thicker back too

[@OgAndretti]

The truth is any exercise that can make your back wide can also make your back thick. The only 3 exercises you need to get both are full range of motion Chin/pull ups, barbell rows and deadlifts.

[@tonyteh]

@@OgAndretti what if i want to focus more on the overall back thickness? i'd look pretty ridiculous if my lats are any wider

[@OgAndretti]

Tony Teh do more barbell rows, the thicker look you’re looking for comes from building the entire traps muscles, rhomboids & rear delts. Also deadlifts as well with a focus on the lower back which helps with overall back thickness
