[@marilynmunroe5646]

Weighted stretch = more muscle damage. When you want to break a paperclip; you should stretch it all the way back after contracting it. Alternating between this will cause the most damage over time. This same idea could be applied to cheat shrugs, incline curls. Weighted dead hangs are good but imo actual pullups will cause more damage. Alternating between weighted stretch & contraction = lots of muscle damage = gainz.(as long as progressive overload takes place)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Obviosuly pull-ups (weighted) are the best.. but if you're struggling to overload with more weight or push past a plateau, this will help.

[@joespn18]

Mmmhhh interesting exercise Scott. Will try it out!👊

[@WugWugs]

Nice, I do this at the end of every pullup session, it helps a lot, when you cannot pull, you still can hang:) Maybe even better variation is to hang sideways - with left overhand and right overhand grips (palms facing each other, more narrow position of both of them). This way I can really feel the lats the way I cannot feel in any other exercise. You can either lock with legs using the stand, or use the natural circle motion to stretch the muscle even more. More advanced - hanging with just one hand. I think this was once "the most natural" use for lats and hanging, look at other primates using trees. We no longer use trees, but our ancestors were for sure and we still got the biomechanics.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

There are a few ways you can do it for sure.. and hanging by one arm would definitely be the most difficult!

[@Hossovic]

When should you take creatine? before or after your workout? and also would you recommend cardio prior or post workout? Thank you

[@explorate7]

Hossovic 30 minutes before workout and after workout aswell. 5 to 7 grams a day

[@ScottHermanFitness]

doesnt matter. if you know how creatine works it is stored in your skeletal muscle tissue. As long as you take 5 - 10 grams daily anytime you are good

[@mattdelvecchio1537]

Mike Matthews disagrees, he advocates taking post workout and not before. He links to this study that comes to this conclusion: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23919405

[@MrUseless247]

Hossovic the way I do cardio is usually after my workout and not for very long. I usually shadow box and/or hit the bag. Other days I do jump rope, burpees, even jumping jacks. If your weight lifting and abs training is intense you'll be exhausted by the time you get through your cardio. Just make sure your diet is on point. You will now be burning more calories, but I've noticed my physique has improved. It appears I'm more lean, but stronger and bigger. . . But like I said your diet will have to change. I didn't do cardio for a while and once I started, I felt weaker and smaller. Now, sometimes on my days "off" I'll do some real light cardio.

[@mrxp2]

Should be said that 5-10 grams is for mono-hydrate. For creatine HCL you usually only need about 2-4 grams per day.

[@HadithQuest]

[@boomdingleberry4467]

Scott this is late, but can you do a video on Pull-ups with overhand grip vs Pull-ups with underhand grip vs Close grip pull-ups (neutral grip)?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I have an article on my site about it! muscularstrength.com/article/Pull-Ups-vs-Chin-Ups

[@boomdingleberry4467]

ScottHermanFitness very good article. However, won't the grip change the amount of muscle activation in different parts of the back? For example, I've heard that close grip pull-ups (with neutral grip) target more lower Lat and serratus. I also remember you saying something about how doing cable low rows with an underhand grip will help develop and widen the lats better than with an overhand hand grip (even though it is a different exercise, shouldn't that grip stuff hold true for other back exersises?)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

It does hold true to a certain extent, but you have to remember for something like the cable low row, compared to pull-ups, it's a different plane of motion. Horizontal for the row, compared to vertical for the pull-up. Therefore the way the back is working is a bit different.

[@boomdingleberry4467]

ScottHermanFitness true, thanks for responding!

[@SqueamishPuppet]

This is perfect for me with excellent timing!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I tend to have a great sense of timing :-D

[@SqueamishPuppet]

Would you say this is more helpful than assisted pull ups?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I think both have their place.. if you still need to be doing assisted pull-ups, stick with those until you can do a few solid sets of 8-10 pull-ups on your own before doing these weighted dead hangs.

[@elanvaknin806]

Can u do a video explaining how to do exercises without shoulder pain like in bicep curls or chest exercises

Sorry to hear that Oskar. Do you have a cast on? You might still be able to use cable without actually gripping the handle attachments. I know someone who did that.

[@oskarfossberg929]

Ha no way! That's a pretty awesome coincidence!

[@626DforDANK]

So could you do this on the lat pull machine ?Load up the weight and remain stretched out

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yes you can try that too!

[@acdcportugal]

Is creatine good for you?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

why wouldn't it be?

[@JakubKowalski93]

If the goal is to stretch lats as much as possible then supinated grip would be a better choice

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Good point supinated grip would work well too!

[@reezis1619]

Yeah but the heavy weighted stretch could potentially lead to a bicep tear considering the lat tendon is alot stronger than the bicep tendon. Pronated grip is alot safer.

[@JakubKowalski93]

That could happen only for people that are doing half reps in their workouts hence the tight biceps

[@savamitov28]

Vegan Saiyan could happen to anyone dude. God forbid it does, but it could

[@kakashihatake4180]

Nice Alpha Destiny had the same idea! Great minds do think alike!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You know it!!

[@Stinbeng]

That's a solid tip, hey Scott just curious on your opinion for building muscle doing a workout style like Greg plitt has done in his mft28 program

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks man. Never really followed or studied any of Greg's programs to be honest.. I had a quick look and it is A LOT of volume. Definitely something for more advanced athletes. Could it work? Maybe.. but at the end of the day you don't need that much volume in order to grow. High volume is good.. but hitting the same muscle group twice in one day for what looked like a total of almost 50 sets isn't neccessary. You either won't give max effort in the morning session, or you'll be burnt out for the evening session.

[@Stinbeng]

ScottHermanFitness well said

[@HHmz-rp8ht]

wow for the first time since weeks I'm feeling my lats and upper back burning even 3 days after the workout where I've made 4 sets of this exercice

[@geogonz352]

Great tip!

[@christopherfisher1694]

I have been doing 2 minute dead hangs to reduce shoulder pain (seems to be working). Dr. Google also suggests it to increase free space in the acromium.

[@thordave6606]

Hey Scott! how can you portion your meals more accurately without the use of a small digital weighing scale?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Just learn to eyeball things. Using your hand as a comparison tool can be handy. For example you might notice the amount of chicken you have is the same size as an open hand or something.

[@thordave6606]

well I'm not a good estimator. but will definitely try using anthropometrics as comparison. never thought of that. Thanks dude!

[@MegaJohn1109]

What kind of supplements should you be taking for more muscle growth? Like Whey protein, creatine maybe?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+AvoidingColt BSN SYNTHA-6 Isolate is best protein my bro. Its a mix of casein and whey!

[@MegaJohn1109]

And what would you say is a good pre-workout supplement? Or would you need one if you are already taking BSN SYNTHA-6 Isolate

[@DontPanicrs]

AvoidingColt a good multi vitamin (do your research on brands they are not all the same, typically want a vitamin that derives from food.) creatine and protein powder is not really needed if you are getting enough protein from Whole Foods (Whole Foods is much better). Isolate isn't a pre workout so my advice to you is go on bodybuilding.com and check out the top rated pre workouts. Me personally I don't use any but it's very popular

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I use BSN N.O. -Xplode XE Edge! Pre-workouts are completely different supplements to protein powders. muscularstrength.com/Supplements

Hahahah 'When you're hanging from the edge of a cliff, you want to be able to do at least one pullup' by Scott Herman ! That's going straight in my Book of Quotes 🍻

[@artemarkhipov8398]

thats cool, but me subjectly have a one hand pull up problem. maybe you know some good technique for that? i can do 25 pullups but when i loose one hand off the bar thats absolutely different.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

That's normal. Single-arm pull-ups are a lot harder than regualr pull-ups. It's a similar concept to how you generally can't dumbbell press as much as you can barbell press.. your stabilizers have to do a lot more work and that takes away, sometimes, a lot of your power. This might help with single-arm pull-ups.. maybe you want to try some single-arm dead hangs with weight?

will see in a few weeks ))

Could the same thing be replicated at home by putting dumbbells in a backpack instead of a dip belt or would that not be as effective?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

That would work too!

Well how about a sure fire method to achieve 20+ strict dead hangs, if 10 maybe 11 seems to be mpmax out put? Do I need a program? And how do you increase grip strength....

[@ScottHermanFitness]

What do you mean.. like performing 20 sets of a 20-30 second dead hang all in a row? If you really wanted to do that.. obviously you would just need to work on adding a bit more time or an extra set onto this each time you do it.
