I'm 5'5, 173 lbs. My form was sloppy in this video. I was sick while recording this workout and didn't want to drop my weights back too much, but re-watching some of this footage, I think I should have. Anyway, enjoy!

For the last couple of years, I have watched this video periodically when feeling stagnant on my back and it never fails to get my head right before a tough pull day. Thanks.

J B What are you talking about, not only BLACK americans speak like that, it's all the american youth and particularly rap fans. It's the same in France, everybody who listens to rap (whatever the origin) use slangs and stuff like that, btw lot of slangs ara arabic words but it doesn't bother at all if a white uses it for example. As a non-english native speaker, I personally like that english-amerigan way of talking though.

[@martinheiner6740]

Summary: 1) Lat-pre-activation movement: one arm lat pull ins or cable pullovers; 2 - 3 slow, focused and lightweight sets 2) Pulldown to the front, medium grip (1.5 shoulder with), pronated (overhand) grip 3) Rowing movement vary the exercise and grip with from time to time 4) Facepull: "high row" pull to eyes and squeeze shoulderblades together; external rotation for shoulder health 5) Barbell shrugs with a slightly wither grip then shoulder with

is 13 sets per week fine? that isnt including face pulls or reverse pec deck - which would add 3-6 sets depending on what you count. plus there is the indirect volume that i didnt include for deadlifts for lower back.

[@danjw3359]

This is by far the best instruction for fitness I have found. Explaining the details like this is great. If it was accompanied by a short video of exercise circuits that use the lesson this would be the perfect fitness lesson for home use. This is fantastic information with the studies and sourced information. The fact that the information is from real sources not just personal experience is fantastic. The estimate part is you can tell he knows what he is talking about by his shape. He isn't distorted or bulging in weird places like he has over done it or done it wrong.

You explained it all very detailed and visual. Genuienly perfect video for people who wants to know the science and how to execute the exercises in the right way. Great job and you earned a subscriber.

[@BucketWheat]

Terrific Video! I REALLY Appreciate your Scientific support of your movements. As a former College Athletic Trainer, while utilizing a Multi-Million-Dollar Physiology Research Lab, I think developing the CORE of the muscles is the 'foundation' of then developing and 'fine-tuning' athletic skills. No matter how agile a Gymnast is, for example... If they don't have the Core Strength to Jump or 'spring off the floor' they will never be able to do multiple flips and twists in the air, nor 'stick the landing' if their muscles collapse on the landing... I also like to 'attack' the muscles from the entire range of motion of a muscle group... such as when you were doing cable rows to a high position, the face, then the chest... I always think of muscle development, and how it is USED in daily life and specific activities, more than how it will look on stage in a 'body builder' competition...

Hey Jeff! I have been following you and Stephanie for a while now and would like to say thank you! I am a science-oriented person, and your guys' videos have really shed light on the science behind strength training and have helped me progress in the gym. In this video, you briefly mentioned certain back muscles being either Type I or Type II. As I'm sure this is true for all muscles (duh), I was wondering if you could make a video that delves into the science behind training these two Types. Thank you!

[@sikandarkarim6251]

I love you science based videos. There satysfing to watch for just the purpose of knowing why and what works. Keep it up!

[@danielpopp2016]

Great Video, thank you so much! One little comment: The first study on lat activation had just 5 untrained women as subjects, difference was statistical significant, however there was only a very minimal effect on lat activation, and none on reducing biceps activation (what might be the main problem in your target group). Therefore I would not recommend to include such studies if your target group is well trained men. However, methods for lat activation sure help! Keep up the great work! dr.dan_popp

[@adngbsn]

Amazing video Jeff, what a start to the new year, I can't wait to see what else you're working on!

[@AkbaRToS]

Amazing video as always, Jeff. My only nitpick would be at 2:44 onward, you compare the Pull Up and Lat Pull Down lat activation, but the study you quote is with Chin Ups, not Pull Ups, which are easier since the load is transferred significantly to the biceps, hence the higher bicep EMG activation. I think you should find a study that actually used Pull Ups, not Chin Ups to compare the two exercises?

[@JeffNippard]

AkbaRToS they say chin ups but if you look at the study design, they actually had the subjects doing what we would call a pull up (wide grip and pronated). I get how that would be confusing.

[@a.zeu1TV]

But even so What if they compared it to weighted pull ups

[@anshulmanapure1980]

Most of us, wouldn't even notice this stuff. It's great you noticed it and came in comments to point it down. And creator, Jeff, came in comments to clear it out. If this is not a healthy criticism what is!

Damm looks like my workout routine for back was pretty much spot on. No wonder my backs been growing like crazy 😁

[@alexandersturm6902]

Hey, I see your comment is new. I have a question, maybe you can answer me. He said that most people find recovery problems when doing more than 25 working sets back per week. How do I understand that? Because in his training book at the end he mentions that the book includes 3 back pieces of training per week. So when you do 5 exercises with 4 working sets each, that makes 20 sets per training? And you can not do over 25? Or is it meant that you should have fewer sets and fewer exercises per training?

[@alexandersturm6902]

PS: I am not an idiot, English is just my 3. language.

[@arnv4487]

@@alexandersturm6902 20 sets of one muscle group in one session is overkill in my opinion. You would be better off doing 20 sets (or even less) split up into 2-3 days in the week, so you can have a higher intensity for each of these days as there is less volume

The upper and lower traps are extremely active in upward scapular rotation as well, such as when doing a shoulder press, upright row, lateral raise, etc. The middle traps are also quite active during these movements in stabilizing the scapula as it rotates.

[@iBeo01]

dust man I’m sure he won’t advocate injury prone movements

[@cumshotoftheweek]

Leo G. Ohp isn’t a dangerous exercise.

[@DJcs187]

Only the upright row I would consider an injury prone movement and only for some people.

[@dustman96]

Every movement is injury prone with too much weight and poor form. Sorry to disagree.

[@DJcs187]

Well there are differences. Dips for example, are problematic for many people, thus I would not prescribe them as general or go-to exercises. Upright Rows go in the same direction. Same with lateral raises if you do the pinky raise. There are just some physiological realities that come into play for some exercises, but not for most others, so while your statement is not incorrect, it also is not a good fit here.

[@mjric]

Thanks Jeff... Now I can jump off a cliff and glide with my lats..

[@dustman96]

Not to troll, but you could use 2/3 the weight and not use so much momentum and still get just as good or better activation in the target muscles. Not to mention, inexperienced people could get the wrong idea and try to lift too much, and inevitably get an injury. It's not about the weight, it's about the load that your target muscles are subjected to.

[@traingear9578]

if he did that then it wouldn't be a power shrug lol . it would be a strict shrug

[@jacobg1585]

Watch alphadestiny

[@alucard1490]

Jacob Groppel alphadestiny is a caveman

[@dustman96]

So reducing actual load on muscles gives you more stimuli? He's not even really doing an explosive movement targeting specific muscles, he's doing short reps using momentum and many other muscles than the target muscles. This just allows him to do more reps. You might as well use lighter weights and do the same number of reps with good form and get the added benefits of using a full range of motion and control. Now if your point is to learn how to move a lot of weight with minimal effort, then by all means, train this way.

[@Sgtassburgler]

Not if you want to build type 2X fast twitch muscle fibers, explosiveness goes hand in hand with momentum. 1 rep max rack pulls activate the fuck out of my back, as well as 1 rep max cheat rows.

[@bencrawford5940]

Brilliant editing, love all of your videos, keep up the great work Jeff.

[@gknyc]

The good thing about you sir is that your informed and produce factual research great job. Really. Most know nothing about the anatomy and biomechanics.

[@mandoescobedo9551]

Hey Jeff, great video like always. One thing i was unsure of that you didn't cover what does the research say anything about what's preferred while doing lat pull downs like leaning back or is no leaning back better for lat activation ..... I'll do some research

[@sammycohoe8740]

Mando Escobedo check out his old back video it says lean back for more growth

[@DaneKnightonFIT]

If I'm not mistaken Mando. His previous video stated that a slight lean might be more beneficial :)

[@silatguy]

Leaning back may provide more benefits as an accessory to bench press, scapular retraction, etc i tend to like a more upright position so i can gauge progressive overload for example sometimes you might use your hips more or sway back or use a slightly higher or lower angle which could change the weight

You and muscle metrix are my favorite natural vegan gluten-free bodybuilders

[@christafur.1969]

Thomas Lefter natural lmao

[@LeBionArc]

chris Wheelahan there's nothing naturally unachievable by Jeff's physique. Just because you don't have what it takes, doesn't mean he is juicing. He has been training his whole life.

[@polaroidandroidjeff6383]

Asbjørn Rindom Christensen you've known him his whole life?

[@LeBionArc]

Nina Salmon he said so himself

[@Spar7anProjec7]

he could be natural with really good genetics, but i hardly doubt he's vegan, veganism affect too much your diet too get that level of gains

Thank you! You helped me pin point my back problems I've been trying to fix since 2008!! I have scoliosis but it was never as defined as it is now and scoliosis and muscles go hand in hand. Thank you so much! 😊🤗
