Thanks man! Needed to hear that today!!

Back in September I understood that shoulder and chest are the first movers when rowing, and that was a gamechanger for my back. I think I got the cue from your workout with Iain. Great stuff, hoping to be able to work in real life with you some day!

Awesome advice! 💪

Big mike best advice ever used All the time lest go

HUGE Arms Mike! You look great in that shot!

Truth hurts some But needs to be said enjoy your life and fitness journey Longevity

Yes Sensei

Let’s go x2!!

Let's go!!

2:36 I call that a stiff arm pull. I use the Stiff arm pull to practice pulling from the stretch position. Squeezing the shoulder blades together should lift the plates only a tiny distance. Then, from there, the elbow will naturally bend, and then I row through. Practising stiff arm pulls is the precursor for everything you have discussed in rowing. There is no space between the chest rest and your chest, so you should not be able to get a piece of paper in there.

1:06 oi camera guy get your head out of the shot, you are a voice to us hahahahaha

I stopped paying attention to a particularly nerdy individual and started taking training advice from Mike, and I've gained a ton of muscle.

While waiting for the video (there's still 9 mins until it's aired) I'll break the ice :) here's some crazy place names from around the world. Batman, Türkiye Tokat (meaning 'slap'), Türkiye Intercourse, Pennsylvania Santa Claus, Indiana What Cheer, Iowa Bald Head, Maine Rough and Ready, California Bastardstown, County Wexford Accident, Maryland Truth or Consequences, New Mexico Hell, Norway Ding Dong, Bell County, Texas Bitchfield, England Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Wales ......just to name a few.

I wish I could have him watch my crap movement and correct it

Filmer trying to get a selfie?!? Stay out the shot bro!!

What happened to the Tyrannosaurus traps intro? What's with the background music? Hmmmm. No, sir, I don't like it.

Are you still threatening to kill people? Or was that just your buddy that threatened to Kill someone? Are you ok with that?

What stimulates my muscle growth is the way Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler worked out

I tried his workout methods for 2 months and I lost gains It’s still awesome, but it just doesn’t work for me. Remember, do what works for you.
