IFBB PRO Teaches Me How To Grow My Back | Ben Pakulski | Bodybuilding EP.2 | PR'ing Life

[@BodybyBiggie]

I find this series SO FASCINATING!!!! I love the focus on muscle contraction and understanding how muscles actually work. Honestly, it's mindblowing for me (I've trained in the strength/power side of the spectrum for most of my years) to really understand how to feel the contraction - so many movements where I thought I had great technique (not that it doesn't work for strength), but just completely relearning their applications. Thanks to you and Ben to being open to share this!!

[@richardluu8322]

contractions looked insane! Ive never looked more forward to a series! You're amazing!

[@coloradoretreats]

What are contractions? I thought that is what women get when they have a baby?

[@faisalahmed1089]

Gone Fishin 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😂🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@914Rocky]

Blown away by how complicated that was. Talk about an expert. That was fascinating.

[@nickgb9942]

The two of you teaming up for this series is awesome. Ive watched you and Ben for a while and just started implementing his techniques a couple weeks ago. There is so much applicable amount of information in each video its great

[@kevinmack7636]

I applied the information that was provided in this video and used a lighter weight to make sure I could feel it. Although I know some bad habits still crept in from years of lifting, OMG. I was dying at the end of my workout but I did not want to stop. I wanted to keep applying it to different back exercises.

[@MrYsuffer]

I subscribed after watching a few videos. Here is why! Stefi explains why the work out and how. And she is showing more knowledge as she learns. Amazing content, I follow eddie hall and Brian shaw, found this thru juji and his grip stuff. Love it, please keep it up Stefi. I'm showing everyone I know ur channel.

[@jayg3844]

From what I understand Ben is one of the top coaches for Bodybuilding and definitely among the ranks of professional Bodybuilders. Ran a program of his a few years back and it is brutal but effective.

[@joyflint3096]

Absolutely loving this series. As a competitor and PT, breaking each movement down and having the understanding of "why", really does change the way you train. Yes, we all become lazy, so this is great for the reminders. Thank you guys and I look forward to the next video.

[@tsdelosa]

Ive been training as a bodybuilder for 10years and just now learned how to really do rope pull downs. wow! this is gold content!

[@garagegymgenius6810]

I am so glad you teamed up with Ben! These videos are great!

[@bbde6142]

Such an awesome video! Great way to look at form and muscle movement

[@raulrodriguez4006]

Its all about the science of muscles with Ben. Very lucky to learn to from that guy!!

[@theurbanalgorithm]

Agree with others that this is great content, and kudos to you for going out of your comfort zone! It will be really cool to see the final result!

[@aimeeruiz4499]

Being a student physical therapist, I truly enjoyed this video. I'm still trying to get a better grasp on the muscles along with their origins & insertions, but this is some great content. I do think that for someone who does not have a lot of knowledge on all the muscles, this can be a bit of "over cueing", but in this sport I guess it's necessary; it also helps to be teachable athlete! Get to know your body & your muscles; learning proper form is the best thing you could do for your health & prevention of injury!

[@Joe.D.Sheppard]

Turning the lat pulldown into a pushing motion is very interesting.

[@sweetpeasbackyardgarden1236]

Love this!

[@5cent27]

Trying to explain to someone how to "pull through your elbow" is one of the hardest things I've ever done haha. I will be sending them this video. 🤘

[@Ksnydes12]

Really liking this series. Learning a ton regarding proper form and how to actually target the correct muscles during movements

[@DominoChild]

I hope we can get more videos like this!

[@MrDevinferreira]

Thanks for sharing Stef, your legs are looking so good. Thank Ben for sharing all this knowledge, it's so valuable.

[@brettgainsford4866]

smart move teaming up with him

[@UncleMike81]

Very cool content. Back is likely my favorite to work on BC it has all the bells and whistles. The details in Rhomboids and mid trap, teres, ect. are so worth working on. You're in good hands with Ben. Remember have fun!

[@Av4nQuisH]

i had a pt too that would help with contractions, but honestly sometimes it just doesnt work the way they think it should, everyones body is different and certain ranges arent really optimal.. it all depends on the persons insertions/lengths/pivots etc...

[@Alvaro_Athletics]

Ben is not a PT...Ben is just a genius

[@77dris]

The back is the most complicated set of muscles to target and have been my weak points my entire life (often my biceps or shoulders take over). Cue-ing like this can help long term for sure.

[@supirman]

Awesome series, really enjoying the knowledge and explanations.

[@PattiLaBarbie]

I love you so much. You're like a sister to me that I don't have. I am inspired by you and I look up to you heavy! Thank you for that!

[@itsmimi3154]

I love these videos but it would be cool if there was a way to mute the noise in the background because it’s hard to hear and focus on what’s he’s saying. Im really enjoying watching Stefi Transition into bodybuilding!!!! So freaking cool.

[@altanner4571]

Thank God it was you man he blow you up I like the video it helps a lot to see how it do and thank for taking time to making the video and sharing

[@ToraJutsu01]

BPak is god tier info in the hypertrophy realm.

[@Offendedinternet]

Yes another Stefi vid Awesome!!! love the content💪

[@dongholio707]

Man, upright pullovers, or whatever the fuck you wanna call 'em, are lat blasters. Genuinely underrated exercise.

[@Stranger_Strange_Land]

I love this series! And thank you for documenting it.

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Soo good to you trying new ideas. Brilliant.

[@raphaeldiogo1583]

lol this looks frustrating

[@damion6877]

There is a difference between training to lift heavy and training to lift properly.

[@demoncore5342]

Feels like let's make shit as awkward it goes.

[@erikhufnagel8263]

I don’t get his comments at the 2:19 mark about not retracting the muscle & keeping it lengthened when you pull. Many of Ben’s other back videos state to retract the scapula during back exercises. Maybe that’s only during rows and to keep the muscle more in the shortened position for that exercise? Any chance you could clarify?

[@sarahbaldwin8212]

wow Ben knows alot that most people dont think about

[@rnbt00o]

This was very instructional. Thank you

[@00Laharl]

I wanna try this out when the gyms are open again 😭

[@rajatshrma3]

Incredible video.

[@markstump2816]

It seems like I would spend more time just trying to figure out the movement and the feel without having workout? Not sure how you can learn the movement without having someone actually standing behind you? I tried pulling my elbow back and contracted without any weight and I can really fell the contractions

[@spur0of0the0moment]

This was so interesting. Thank you for sharing

[@albertorincon2549]

Thank you for sharing !

[@havefaith960]

Get with Charles glass!

[@cheesepizza87]

Ben is awesome…really like his ethos

[@curtismesei9488]

More videos plz Bennnnnn

[@flopez1025]

I’ve noticed people who do underhand pull-ups and keep their elbows in front of the body instead of pulling them to the side have a good lats.

[@kenrickseegobin4030]

Keep being awesome

[@NEODOMINATION]

I laugh when people say bodybuilding is easy! Ben will prove you otherwise! Great video! Looking sexy!

[@mystmyst4176]

14:00 - Thank - you!

[@chefkuyajoey]

Always great videos with Ben!

[@chefkuyajoey]

And with Stefi off course!

How do I train the mid back? In this video was mainly lat focus training

Goodness girl I thought you where doing pretty good setting records,now it seems like your lost and do t know what to do I mean you’d do great in bodybuilding 👊💪🏻

[@friendlyvoice9720]

Love your videos and content and ever since coming to the channel, been a loyal viewer and was wondering....I have a collection of shirts from my fav channels/youtubers and was looking to purchase one of yours and was wondering if you and/or the gang would sign it? Doesn't seem right not having one of yours there and would awesome if could get one.

[@Oldtimenattylife]

Ben obviously knows his stuff but try pointing the dumbbells upwards palms forward as the shoulder and rotators simply are not designed to move this way with weight

[@giovanisabelizahar4361]

Lol i kept waiting for you to flip every time he smacked your delt 😆 i think body sculpting is the ultimate thing an athlete can do or just a person in general and and and and.... just 😍

She is an ELITE powerlifter....she is doing something right! Exercise doesnt have to be perfect it just needs to be done. At the end of the day, it’s your genetics that will dictate your gains

I take pride in the fact that my legs are almost as strong as Stefi's arms. Me, m, 6'1, 230lbs

[@chase123456ist]

From a guy with no arms

[@Riktamorty]

Why doesn’t anyone talk about stefi on gear?

[@sansiveria578]

What's there to say? She obviously takes ped's like most athletes at the top of their game...so what! They don't give the user determination, drive, work ethic or even lift the friggin weights. Steffi is a Dr, a world champion and a nice person.

[@Croissantrophy.meme.channel]

Because no one cares. Everyone is on gear. That means nothing without hard training.

[@Riktamorty]

For sure I’m not hating!! Thanks for y’all’s feedback. It’s just clear how hard and capped she is. But it is what it is. 99% of the time you can find videos of people talking about it. But none on Stefi

[@daniBuongy]

Cartoni per bambini usi tube

[@geneharrogate6911]

Three rep ultra slow sets? Bullshit. Name one high level pro who trains / programs / contest preps like this. Hard training, bulk volume and PED's have been getting the bodybuilding job done for over fifty years, this is just being tricky for the sake of it.

[@newbrand05]

Lol, someone give her a hair tie

[@deluccijr1]

Mr. boyriend, perhaps you should put the phone away?

[@GoforDayten]

If I was a girl, and I took lots of compounds I would also see quick gains in my back. 😇

[@dalewilson9602]

Way too scientific & boring 😴.

[@danstafford5977]

A neutral grip and locked elbows is bad form!

[@chase123456ist]

This guy is a clown. Too much talk
