I'm not sure if you guys realize this but the main thing that matters when it comes to training lats or your upper back isn't rows vs pulldowns. ⁣ -⁣ It all has to do with the orientation of your elbow in relation to your back. ⁣ -⁣ If you're using a neutral grip, you're going to notice the emphasis is mainly on your lats. ⁣ -⁣ By flaring the elbows up and rowing or pulling to your chest and up, you'll focus on hitting the upper back more instead. ⁣ -⁣ So yes, just because it's called the "lat pulldown" doesn't mean it's mainly working lats. If it's a wider grip and you're pulling to your upper chest, odds are you're mostly working upper back. ⁣ -⁣ If you switch to a neutral grip pulldown, boom lats are being hit more instead. ⁣ -⁣ Try this out and tag a friend that needs to hear the truth on this matter!⁣ ⁣ #Repost @brownbullfitness @download.ins⁣ ---⁣ How to do #barbellrows by @brownbullfitness ⁣ Follow @brownbullfitness ⁣ Follow @brownbullfitness ⁣ SAVE this post for future and SHARE it with your friends!⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #barbellrow #backworkout #pullday #backworkouts #compoundexercises #compoundlifts #musclebuilding #pushpulllegs #hypertrophy #trainingtips #bodybuildingtips #buildmuscles #buildmusclesburnfat #backrows #macros #reardelts #uperbodystrength #upperbodyworkouts #upperbodyday — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/32NZj2W

If you aren't tracking and just hoping for the best, it's not going to happen. ⁣ -⁣ Unless you can out train your diet which is really fucking hard, you have to have a basic idea of what you're consuming.⁣ -⁣ That is all. ⁣ -⁣ Have you fallen into this trap in the past?

Go follow these accounts to learn more about training and dieting principles that work better than anything else out there! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣@rpdrmike @rpstrength @wolfcoach_ I've dealt with this forever and most people seem to be under the impression that people with long limbs should be able to do the same amount of work as others. ⁣ ⁣ The shorter a limb is, odds are, the more work you can do for it and get great gains from it. That's why you see shorter guys that look absolutely jacked at like 160 lbs. ⁣ ⁣ Then you have taller lifters such as myself, 6'5" and it's so much harder to make progress on certain lifts. Everytime I I squat I'm essentially doing double the work of somebody shorter than me. ⁣ ⁣ These are things you need to be paying attention to if you want to get stronger and build more muscle! #Repost @rpdrmike @download.ins --- Get the whole book at @rpstrength and follow @wolfcoach_ for more content. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3atn7f9

All of this is true. Go follow @syattfitness for more posts from somebody that actually knows what the fuck he's talking about.⁣ ⁣ If you think fat burners work you're being lied to. Unless its clenbuterol its bullshit. Diet and exercise burns fat. Not stupid supplements.⁣ ⁣ Guess what's in coffee guys, water. Just because it's in coffee form doesn't mean it dehydrates you all of a sudden. It's a myth. ⁣ ⁣ Your metabolism will down regulate slightly when you drop calories during a fat loss phase. KEY WORD: SLIGHTLY. It doesn't mean you're going to suddenly hit a plateau just because your calories are lowered. ⁣ ⁣ Fat doesn't make you fat just like dietary cholesterol doesn't raise your cholesterol levels. Fat is important for regulating hormones and keeping you sane. If you drop fat intake below 20% of your daily intake for a prolonged period of time you will notice the difference. ⁣ ⁣ Also the final one that I can't believe people are still debating. If you eat too many calories you will gain body fat. ⁣ ⁣ It's not your food composition or chemicals or hormones or anything else. It's just excess calories spilling over in your body and creating adipose tissue. That is all! ⁣ ⁣ #Repost @syattfitness @download.ins⁣ ---⁣ #coffee #coffeeshop #coffeequotes #food #foodporn #sugar #protein #bodybuilding #health #healthyeating #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fasting #intermittentfasting — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2wmEkbc

Training tonight went well. Only hit 8 at 105 with a couple in the tank. I think it's time to switch gears and start pushing for lower rep sets and higher weight. ⁣ ⁣ If I find I stop progressing, then I'll back the weight off and do the opposite. Higher reps in the 10-15 range only adding weight once I do a set of 15. ⁣ ⁣ As for my barbell rows, I should be good for a set of 10+ at 200 lbs in around 8 weeks. I started super light with 100 lbs and have adding 5 lbs every workout for the past 12 weeks. ⁣ ⁣ Very simple progression but it's working. I can feel my strength and muscle mass coming back to me. Once I lose the body fat I need to, I'll actually be able to get the rest back. ⁣ ⁣ My body is not in a great state for building muscle at the moment. The more body fat you have, the harder it is so build muscle I've found. That's why it's important to get under 300 lbs for me and maintain that before moving on. ⁣ ⁣ What are some goals you're working on and what plan of attack are you going to take them make it happen?

I'm not bringing this up because he hurt my feelings. I know I'm a lot weaker, I know I've lost a ton of muscle, and I know I have a much higher body fat percentage because of it. I lost over a decade of progress in the last two years because of my constant fight with anxiety and panic attacks happening every single day. It's been much better this last couple of months and I can actually train again. Which is amazing when I get to do what I love! I hope you all never let others try to keep you from doing what makes you happy in life. They'll criticize and try to bring you down and keep you there permanently. For those of us with the will of fire we'll never back down and we'll never stop fighting for what we believe in. I hope you guys all have an awesome weekend and keep kicking ass!

After training myself and 50+ athletes the last couple of years, I've put together a list of the best exercises we've used to get stronger quickly. I break these up into two main categories: barbell movements and assistance movements. These 10 movements are broken up as follows: Big 4 Barbell Movements Squat Bench Press Deadlift Overhead Press Big 6 Assistance Movements Dips Chin-ups/Pull-ups Db bench/press Rows Ab Wheel Back extensions If you guys enjoy this content and would like to see more, make sure to drop a follow and check out the link in my bio.

Here is a common mistake I see most people make when doing any type of rowing movement. - In the first video, my client is turning the row into more of a bicep curl motion. He's pulling with his arm and biceps more than his lats. This causes the bicep to do the majority of the work as you can see from the elbow flexion we're seeing here. - Also notice how he's pushing his upper body down toward the row to finish the movement. Obviously we don't want this to happen. Your chest should be pushed out and your back should be neutral throughout the entire movement. - Contrast that with the second video where I cue him to drive back with his elbow. You should think of your hand as a hook. You're not pulling back with your arm, you're driving your elbow back to get the lats engaged properly. - Next time you do a set of rows, make sure you're doing them properly. It's the difference between building a strong, muscular back and a lackluster one. Look out for my next video I'm putting up tomorrow on my top ten back building exercises. Obviously the dumbbell row is going to be on that list so stay tuned. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DvFYwgK6s/?igshid=17ttl8qfn9o2z

Hit 100x11 on press, rest pause sets of 15, 9, and 5 on incline dumbbell bench, 150x12 on barbell Rows and rest pause sets of 14, 6, and 4 on neutral grip pulldowns. - I'm playing the long game with this and my anxiety is still something I have to fight day after day. It's never going to go away completely and that's fine. However, neither is my love for training. I still have tons of goals I want to hit and I won't stop even when I reach them. - That's all this is, 1 more rep here, 5 more lbs there. Forever. That's all it takes and all you need to focus on. If you're doing tons of sets and reps but not getting any stronger what's the point? You should be getting better week to week, month to month and year to year. That's what builds muscle and strength that lasts. - When was the last time you made great progress in the gym? Let me know and let's talk about how you made it there! https://www.instagram.com/p/B5CA70sgVzm/?igshid=1wg6bvyk7x7uu

Link to this whole video is in my description box. Preview of my last video on building more muscle. One of the most important things to focus on is recovery. If you're not recovering, you're not building muscle. Bottom line. 1. Get Enough Sleep For Optimal Recovery If you're doing everything right in the gym, eating the right amount of calories, drinking enough water but aren't sleeping enough, you're holding yourself back when it comes to building the most muscle possible! 2. Go For A Walk When it comes to recovery, doing nothing on your off days isn't a great way to go about it. That's why I recommend going for 3, 10 minute walks after each meal. This assists with recovery, and aids in digestion. 3. Cardio On Off Days I'm sure you've heard this analogy before, regardless of how big your engine is in your car, you're not going anywhere if you don't have gas in the tank. This is how important cardio and work capacity is for building muscle. If you can't power through muscle building training sessions, you're going to be held back by being out of shape. Do something easy like riding a bike or even using something like an Airdyne. The model I use for myself and my clients will be linked in the description box below. 4. Deload Weeks Are Crucial Using deload weeks is an important part of training that a lot of people neglect. When doing deload weeks, you recover from the fatigue built up from doing tons of sets and reps. This will allow you to train harder over time while also preventing injury. If you find you're not improving in weight, sets, and reps; consider deloading for at least a week. This isn't difficult to implement either. Back the weights off by 10-20% and cut your volume in half. If you're used to doing 4 sets of squats for sets of 10, back off to 2 sets of 5. It's easy and will allow you to train injury free and build muscle much longer! https://www.instagram.com/p/B4OQg2qB8iq/?igshid=k0cuopewwi2b

So many people ask how to build muscle fast and think training like a bodybuilder is going to get them there. If you’re like me, you don’t have a ton of time to spend in the gym every week. 6 workouts a week just isn’t possible for most people that have real jobs and busy lives. But sitting back and letting your body turn to mush isn’t something you can allow either! These are my top 5 tips on how to build muscle fast! The link to this video is in my description box.
