How To Get a WIDER BACK!

[@gabesaenz9837]

Your quote about being angry if you don’t workout, no one else has ever said it exactly like I feel. That’s it exactly

[@ianonufer6988]

I too am a funk if I don't get to the gym

[@paulelverstone8677]

He has also quoted that he 'fell in love with the fight' when explaining why he trains. That resonated...

[@steveb6718]

has Ryan ever spoken about his gear usage?

[@asdk831]

My anger management is weights

[@MaxiimTribe]

You know its funny I took a long lazy break from lifting (a year or so). And now that I'm back to it for about 3 weeks, I notice myself being a bit more angry about silly things.

[@louismott7729]

Ryan, Clean your nose with an alcohol pad and wipe dry before you stick on the nose strip. I do this and it never peels off anymore. Thank you for all of your videos, I've learned a lot from you 💪

[@nicolasraffaele2489]

ryan should see this, lets like it

[@whamdirect8618]

What is the nose strip for?

[@parasences]

​@@whamdirect8618more oxygen through nose, which improves a lotta things

[@Cumberland_swasige]

​@@whamdirect8618 nothing, it's a waste of time.

[@hotpotat0es]

Same when he's injecting

[@chrisbrown4854]

"I work out because I'm so angry if I don't work out"!! Perfect... 67 years old here and that's exactly how I look at my work out time, and that's always been the way since I was 13. You offer a lot of real information and paths to keep on pushing....tks

[@Brandon68plus1]

I tried taking 2 days off a week when I started training and i ended up with no days off. I felt like crap when I didn’t workout. I have to do some kind of workout for my mental health.

[@adammiller9179]

I'm the same way. Even on off days, I just go to the gym for some quick cardio and an easy band pump session.

[@Retiredhoghed]

You’ve got me by 10 years, I aspire to your success. My saying has always been… the only thing that feels worse than going to the gym is how I feel if I don’t go.

[@Olddog3985]

I am in Tana Madagascar. Had to walk over a mile to get to the gym. Place is packed. Cameras and pretty people. They said gym is occupied for the whole day. I turned to everyone and growled.

[@zachlowman2590]

he doesn't know shit dude; his form is dog shit and you need a personal trainer if you think he knows anything

[@rowanhorsley761]

Dog's a champion, he literally does a push-up every time he walks on one leg.

[@Oh6Torch]

So refreshing to see a dude making it about his viewers. No boring intro, info of his personal life no one gives a shit about, no ride through his town , etc…. Just gets to it and done. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@JFP69]

So f ing true

[@jonathanpopham5483]

Rule 1 from grade school writing: First consider your audience. So simple but simple ain't easy

[@JFP69]

Good man

[@mh1124800]

Please make more videos like this so that we can follow you around. I’m not a creep, just like watching your videos ✊🏾

[@josephcaskey4811]

Agree, except that I do want to creep on him.

[@chris_1337]

Ryan, one thing that's impressive about you is that you keep getting better at everything you do - including making videos. This video is the EXACT format that I wished you'd be making, because you're always super informative, but adding more exercise footage is helpful to visualize the techniques AND keeps the pace of the info coming in more manageable. I enjoyed this a ton and I learned a bunch of stuff I'm going to implement on my next back day. Keep up the great work!

[@JFP69]

Absolutely agree

[@zachlowman2590]

he is lying to you, his form is shit and will get you hurt of long periods of stressful workouts throughout the years; do yourself a favor and hire a professional trainer/CPT who understand biomechanics and stop looking for bums like this that take steroids to look the part and spout a bunch of words that mean nothing to you

[@richardlaughlin4256]

I love the information with the quick wit humor. You’re real and down to earth. Love it!💯

[@BigPat216]

I love this channel. I get humor, serious advice, lifting advice, all of it in one spot.

[@JFP69]

THE BEST BY FAR - there is no one else. Especially can’t stand listening to a certain blad dude who makes such a big deal out of being a PhD…. Who gives a Flying F

[@old_retard4118]

​@@JFP69ok buddy

[@tkfromtheusa8910]

There’s so many good soundbites in this one that I need to go and rewatch it three or four times

[@2s2bs]

More videos in this style please. Super simple, effective, easy to look up, get great advice and something to screenshot and maybe look at eventually for our own routine.

[@zirzmokealot4600]

You clarifying your hate for everyone verifies we are the same human.

[@vinnyvtec8722]

I agree. My favourite saying to the wife is "people are idiots" It's usually people proving this that makes it my favourite phrase. As an example, recently I was in a pet store and a women was trying to return a cat food. I listened to the conversation and it turns out she had accidently bought cat food for her dog, despite there being a picture of a cat on the front of the bag, that she picked up from in the cat aisle. This is exactly why I hate people. Their stupidity annoys me.

[@mpazs]

@Rev73B O yeah.....

[@ToxicMrSmith]

​@@vinnyvtec8722perhaps that woman was visually impaired? Maybe she was on medications that caused her to buy the wrong food. Maybe she was incredibly drunk or hungover? Maybe her partner at home was abusive and she wasn't thinking straight.. There can be so many factors for people making mistakes other than being stupid, and your way of looking at everyone around you as such is close minded and stupid. People are fucking idiots though

[@kirtdavis1611]

Great video !! After 45 years in the gym so good to see someone you not only really understands how muscles work but can explain it to the rest of us. Please keep it up !

[@thebionicman52]

Great video! Feel like this video was like the ones you did when you first started out. Keep up the good work.

[@spishe683]

I was bemoaning my lack of lower lat development yesterday, and this video drops - exactly what I need! Please make more of this type of video, I really need to see where I can improve my technique on, well, everything. Thanks.

[@hotpotat0es]

Take steroids like him

[@Dive-Deeper]

Fantastic advise on finding your passion, learning everything there is to know about the subject and then using that knowledge to help people. Best thing you've ever said, and you've said a lot of useful stuff. 👋

[@andrewdawson6352]

These are the best videos I’ve ever seen, as someone who started the gym about 3months ago and I’m kind of just winging it with random knowledge I pick up to watch someone go through it so well is great and the humour is top tier

[@filippobargero2474]

Each time I'm amazed at the amount of great information there is in each video. I should probably start pausing and taking notes when I watch them. Thank you!

[@KevinJones-su1jh]

Love the video, and I’ve been through all your programs. I’ve stayed with your latest science based since it came out. The previous were wonderful challenges, but at 69 years of age a bit high on the volume. But I love training, it’s therapy for me. Anxiously awaiting your next series. Your work means a lot to me, sincerely grateful for your work!

[@mitchellmacbeth4606]

Great video. Thanks for all your honesty. Very refreshing and has helped me get to where I want to be physically

Almost 2m subs. Well deserved. I remember the early days. Knew this channel would grow huge.

[@TheSantiayo]

Back day is one of my favourite days. I do: 1. Wide grip lat pull downs with pronated grip, super extension and down a bit 🤏🏽 from the clavicle, but I mean the humerus not my hands . 2. T bar row, I focused that to the upper and mid back. 3. Bent over rows with wide pronated grip. 4. Shrugs ( my favourite exercise). 5. Lateral raises. 6. Really Wide grip lat pull downs with neutral grip focusing on the rear delts 7. Whatever I’m doing for my biceps. 8. Finish with more rear delts exercises ( some from your videos). As a doctor I tend to focus more on the exercises that give me strength to move around patients and so on ( I work in an OR) such as the shrugs, and I really enjoy trying to do very specific exercises in order to feel every muscle part 😅. Great video,

[@jacklloyd6077]

Sounds epic!

[@bryanbrozy4477]

Chuck is awesome. I have a dog with mobility as well. Your videos have been so useful and entertaining with your interjection of humor throughout. Keep doing what your doing, its much appreciated!

“There’s nothing worse than not being able to train”. Holy moly that’s so true. Been there a few times. It’s a mental challenge.

[@xarrowverse]

I train to failure too! Blood and guts customized. Sometimes I'll do 2 sets though depending on cns.

How many sets should you do when you work to failure?

@@justforlaughsmate3900 1 to 2 max.

I just want to say thank you. Since I found your channel I hate my weak pathetic body more each video I watch. It's been 7 weeks of training and I already see that I could do even better and I am still shit. Love it!!

[@zirzmokealot4600]

Wide grip pull ups with partial reps to failure is my best advice for a wider back.

[@Gustoking37]

Light or heavy ?

[@zirzmokealot4600]

@@Gustoking37 your body weight or using bands for assistance during your pull up. Minimum 6 reps. Stay as high on the bar as possible down to 90 degrees and back to the top. Wear gloves if your hands are getting tore up. I do 5 sets to failure. A minute rest in between. Dont cheat yourself

[@Ophanim1000]

2 Back workouts to try out: I do back once a week and switch between them each time. Workout 1: Pull-ups Wide-grip Bent-over-row Narrow-grip Bent-over-row Snatch-grip High Pulls Workout 2: Wide-grip Behind-the-beck Lat Pull Downs V-grip Seated Row Straight-armed Lat Pulls Do 4-12 sets on each exercise depending on which part of your back you want to work on, and your endurance level to do doing high volume training

[@SlaterMGFX]

Probably one over best overall videos. I've been following you for ~4 years-mush better gym than your coach and a set of bands. I still use the bands.This is getting back to your basics and why I started to follow and learn back then. All good! Just enjoying this old/new approach. Happy for your success. Well earned.

[@bigaarmory100]

You don’t need a conspiracy theory for Mark Bell’s channel. Just talk about how fucked up the atmosphere has become on social media with gym posts and in most commercial gyms nowadays with peacocks, and the effects that is having on the REAL iron community.

Great video bro. I have been watching your stuff for a year now. Been implementing your techniques and advice. Keep it bro. I have been a hard gainer all my life but since following your advice I have gained nearly 40+ lbs of what is probably all muscle, considering my pants still fit, mostly. Just turned 40, staying and getting into the best shape I can is my number 1 goal. I'm 5'10" and this morning was 170 lbs. Before your techniques and advice my normal weight has always been about 135 lbs to 140 lbs (out of shape). I want to get to 180 this year and think I can do it. Love the vids and advice!

Ryan can’t tell you how much it hits Home talking about your own personal injuries and set backs. I feel the industry brushes pain and chronic injury under the rug. I’m about to be 30. Separated my left shoulder when I was 20 had surgery at 24. Have inbalances in left knee and hip which I know are related and have been fighting asymmetry ever since. The mental is just as bad if not worst than the injury. I came to your videos for some help to get my shit correct again. I’m sure that’s why you dove even deeper into learning about how to fix the body because of how bad your own body was. You make great unique content to your personality and we appreciate it. I was told by an MRI tech “motion is lotion, what god gave you is the best thing you’ll ever have so do what you can to make it work”
