THE ONLY WAY TO GET A WIDER BACK (LOCKING DOWN ON LOWER LAT) | MIKE VAN WYCK 

The fact that I can almost physically feel exactly what he's describing in my own back as I watch this video tells me I'm on the right path or Mike's just that good at painting a picture lol

Fortunately there are people in the web like you who give people informations more than entertaiment , thank you so much

I definitely like your style of teaching- no bs style. You’re legit no doubt. Lifters from all levels can gain something from watching your videos. Love it!

So many gems dropped in this one.

You have changed my entire style of lifting. Everything you say makes so much sense. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do. Hands down the best advice around. Your passion shows in the video's, please keep doing what you're doing.

Good Lord... Just discovered this channel. The level of instruction is just fantastic. That said, translating this advice into my workouts is giving me massive anxiety, because Mike's approach is so nuanced! When I'm pulling, I am just sure I am probably not doing it right. I can hear him in my ear saying, "You're doing it fucking wrong!". Watching the session Mike did with Jujimufu, who clearly has a great physique, and yet Mike's still telling him his form is off - meaning he still has room for possible improvements. I have so much to learn.

I’m 41. Former bodybuilder and I had so many injuries form all the years of lifting too much weight with all the wrong information that Mike talks about. Everything I do is what Mike does. It takes a lot of practice and I am so pissed I never figured this shit out when I was younger. I watch Mike everyday and implement all of these into my workouts and I am literally in the best shape of my life. People always ask me why I’m so big and I lift such light weight. It’s simple. Your doing it wrong! Engaging with constant tension is key. I stay away from bar workouts. Dumbbells and cables and machines is all I use. No more squats or deadlifts. Those days are over. I would literally fly out to Canada to train with this man. Even just to meet him would be an honor. Fuckin guy saved me from more injuries and I continue to get awesome results. Your the man Mike. Thank you for videos brother. Everything I do is what you do. Best decision I’ve ever made.

You are by far the best teacher of bodybuilding.

I love Mike's attitude. His experience has taught him what works and what doesn't and he cuts right through the bullshit.

Bruh. I was a professional hip hop dancer for years && have now lifted weights for almost 9 years. When I say you CHANGED the way I look at workouts and the FEELING I get while doing the motions.. it’s amazing. Question bro, have you ever taken dance lessons?? The way you hit that T Pain chest move when you describe opening the rib cage is FYE! 😂😂 love you dude 🔥

I swear this guy talk's so much sense. I know that different things work for different people but everything I've seen on his videos and then implemented in my training just make's total sense for me. The real test come's when I've been training with his philosophy for a few weeks but I've got every faith that as long as I keep the intensity up then I will continue to grow. Love it, no bullshit just straight talk. WKD

I always look forward to to watching your videos Mike. Love the content, and great and easy to understand explanations of everything you do, and why you do it. Thank you.

This is absolute GOLD! Thank you for taking the time to teach me how to train. You’re my fav! Love your content. I’m super grateful you’re here ❤

All your stuff is pure gold. You verbalize what I'm thinking when I see most people train. We appreciate all your knowledge.

Thanks for putting out these videos Mike I’ve been pretty much relearning how to train applying your techniques. Great video my man keep ‘em coming.

Literally best informative channel there is right now !!!

He's a real one for sure. The fact that he said "don't do that" to the "like and subscribe" instantly gained 10x more respect and admiration. Even though it would help the algorithm and promote his page more, still not a sheep. ✊️

The quality of knowledge you give out is insane! Big thankyou!

Keep em coming! Can't wait to train back again after seeing all the fun back machines you guys have available.

I learn more and more every time I listen to you. My training is on another level... I don't just move weight any more I focus so much more on form, head placement, my hands, etc. The way you articulate someone's body and anatomy is awesome!

I am 42 and I am not pro bb,but I think I get what you say cause since I started applying your tips, especially for chest and back, I can feel the muscles better and there is a visual improvement but the best for me is the mind muscle connection. That feeling is amazing! Thank you Mike

You are great at your craft and the way you explain things! Love your channel. Applying your tips has really made a difference in my training and results! Pretty quik!

Great video, the sinking shoulders on lat pull down is the best explanation of the movement.

Mike, your tips have worked for me ten fold. I agree, at some point I had to up my weights and lift explosively to hit those fast twitch fibers. Tucking my chin and rocking through the lats is everything

14:05 I finally get it! I thought I understood, but this sealed the deal. Thanks, Mike!

I’ve always focused on feeling the negative and stretch during a workout.. your advice has only amplified these!! Appreciate you big Mike!!

You and Ben Pakulski are my go to informers for bodybuilding.

I been lifting for years and because of extensive sports background I never needed a personal trainer because it’s easier to develop a mind to muscle connection compared to someone who never did sport - until I randomly came across your channel….I love the wycked ethos ! There’s so much more depth to doing something rather than just going through the motion or the same old Regurgitation u see on other bodybuilding channels

This channel is GOLD

Posted 12 seconds ago, perfect 😎

Big Mike with another gem, salute! Keep up the gr8 work & sharing the jewels. Aye yo Disregard the haters in the comments, your true followers appreciate & value the content. Movement is the mindset

Thanks Big Mike for all these precious tips ❤❤🙏🙏

Subbed! Best explanation of lats, back training I've seen, by far.

I tried your style of lifting and man I’m so sore and definitely felt it more in my muscles 💪🏽

Everydays a school day. Lean something new and insightful every time I watch a video. 👍

You are my bodybuilding sensi , much respect.

Keep teaching and showing us Bro. And fuck the hills have eyes mtfer's. Our community is getting swole the great way and right way. Keep doing you Big Mike and keep up all the great work and positive videos to our community aka over 40 crew

Learned a lot from your videos about training and mind muscle connection. Maybe it is a stupid request but can you make one video about abs movements (cable crunches, decline crunches, leg raises) you think are most efficient and can help with opening and expanding the rib cage, lifting the chest up. Or maybe some movements for strengthening the core. Thanks for all the tips and the time you invest in trying to explain everything. Keep it up !

The avatar analogy is so funny but so helpful honestly

Hey Mike since I've been watching your videos I can tell the difference on my lats shoulders and traps chest arms I really appreciate you I finally doing my workouts right.

Keep talking the way you do we all need truth in this world full of lies !!! Love your videos keep them coming

Hills have eyes....thats awesome. I'm sure you are tired of hearing it, but, we appreciate what you do, please keep the vids coming..

Man brother I’m glad I found ur page I’ve learned a lot and I am so conscious of wanted to feel my muscles that I’m workin out learning to feel the movement and lettin the body ask for it’s weight it needs thank u man keep up they videos man. !!!

Aside from all the great information....these machines look incredible.

the hills have eyes seg was gold

Really really good working out advice and techniques. Wish I had a gym like that.

Wow im so glad i found you here Mike, i finally found someone who thinks alot like me but on a high lvl xD this is actually information you've gathered through the years and it has SO many great points compared to others who i dont feel i either agree with or can relate to at all. Now i have input again for the first time in years. Thank you!

Mike keep this up great message here 🤙🏽

Man is an art to see you move👌🏽 … the concept of sinking and rocking CHANGED 360 my way of working on back . God bless u Mike..keep going to do this amazing videos for the good of BB…don’t get too much upset for the people that don’t understand,don’t agree ,comments in stupid way ..their body is proportional to their 🧠,to their way of thinking,acting and training so that’s their best punishment 😅 Everybody has the body that deserve 👌🏽

THE ONLY WAY TO GET A WIDER BACK ( THE ONLY YOU TUBE CHANNEL TO WATCH ) Thanks again Mike............. much appreciated 💪💪💪💪

The equipment in that Gym is phenomenal. But Mikes Knowledge is second to none. That said, I think he stole my shirt. 😂

Don't worry about the troll comments. I'm glad you read the comments, there are a lot of people with legit questions. No one else pays attention to the people who want to argue. Don't wast your energy on it

I can feel my lats for the first time in years. Thanks big guy!!!

Love your videos man, the way you explain movement is honestly second to none, could you touch on why you do supersets as opposed to 1 exercise at a time? thanks man

Tried lying ham curl as you described , worked a treat yesterday 👌

“The Hills Have Eyes MF’s”. 🤣😂🤣 Honestly, that’s gold bro. 🍺

wicky wicky wicky!

Another great vid Big Mike!

omg i was so waiting for the cut to the freak from "the hills have eyes"

‘The hills have eyes’ killed it 🤣

🤯 i get it now! Great video man, glad i found your channel 🙏

I find myself watching this and as Mike is explaining the movements and doing them I'm catching myself doing the movement subconsciously 🤣🤣. The hardest thing to do is to implement these forms and movements with light to moderate weight.

40 yrs training and 30 plus training people. Mike an I train and preach the same. I think we both hate people equally. People don't listen, they follow the Charles Glass's that have trained for 80 yrs and are known. Your all sheep being eaten by the wolves. Good shit Mike. I hope you keep posting.

I try and keep my chest up and have a slight arch to my back in pretty much all back exercises. Would you agree that is beneficial? I find it gives me the most success with back gains.

Bummed I didn't get the email for the merch drop. Entered my info to save a spot 6 weeks ago. Try and grab next one 🤙

If there is ONE thing I learnt from you (and I have revisited even the way I pick up dumbells...) is that head movement matters!!!! I cannot believe what a difference makes the movement/positioning of your head!!!! why didnt I find you 10 years earlier man??????

Thanks for the tips.

Besides the amazing info you're giving out I come to hear the insults.🤣🤣🤣

Mike do have training plans that to sale , I have been a big fan of your teaching?

THAT IS AN OPTIMAL ANALOGY SIR!!!

Masterclass!

“The Hills have eyes mf’ers” 😂 SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!!!!

Love this dude

At 16:54 Mike wants that reach a round. Haha. He's the best.

Alright mike i never know what grip is best to hit lats on the lat pull down(over under or v pull down) could you please do a video on this .

Find the muscle . ✊🏼

What’s that company name the plate loaded low row?

I cannot get my right lat to engage. I wonder if it’s a combination of having all this scar tissue build up around the shoulder and scapula from botched surgeries. You can even see the difference when looking in the mirror. It’s tucked to the back so-to-speak. I wonder if a deep tissue specialist can fix this or if I’m just stuck this way. Mike I love your videos. You’re the reincarnation of Rich. 💪🏻

Great back session! You hit every point that there is for your back. It's nice to train back as your explaining how each movement works with each machine. Another epic video by the wycked man himself!

If any, what is the best back exercise's that will force a strong mind muscle connection?

oblique crunches actually do make ur lats grow just so u know 😂😂😂 just kiddin great content as always boss

Came in here to say that the Avatar analogy is simply fucking wild, but yes it works

Mike what are your thoughts on using a pad behind your back like the one that Charles Glass promotes?

Just 2 mins in and I actually laughed when you said the point of a low row is pull low, don’t pull high lol, because I see it day and and day out.

What brand of equipment are you using ?

I notice that you have a torn bicep. Does it affect your back training in any way. Like does it cause one side to work harder, causing imbalance's?

"Be a man" the perfect t-shirt for today's men

Thx Mike

So close grip pull down and close grip row hit the lower lat differently or the same

Pure 💎’s

hey mike marijuana is legal in canada. do you indulge in cannabis, from time to time?

Mr. Wyck have you ever been asked to be on RX muscle at all ??

I LOVE WINSTROL

Ok, my question is at 3:10 what the frick is in that dude’s backpack. Does he have roommates that he doesn’t trust so he packs everything he owns in that backpack when he goes out?

"don't make comments" hahaha :)

“The Hills have Eyes Mutherfukkers”,,, that his glorious!! Haha

We need Locked on Lat on a shirt or hoodie

🍿

The idea that mike doesn't know what he's talking about is ridiculous. He literally proves it you w his own body and other people he trains you can literally see the movement and how it properly works. 😂

Agree with me or don’t disagree with me 😂 there is no other option.
