How do you incorporate them? At the start of the workout or at the end I feel like pull ups take a lot of energy so if you do it first your gonna be weaker doing everything else if you do it last same deal
@@dessmund5001 I Guess it might be depending on your goals. Body weight pull ups are a great strength builder but not really a muscle builder after a certain point. I personally do them first thing because I’m trying to make my muscle more dense rather than bigger if that makes sense
Was gonna say the same…I like to go just a bit light on weight and really let back the back stretchhhh open on the bottom, then contract and squeeze tf out of it for a second or two at the top.
I’d been doing pullovers last. Switching to first did what you said. Changing the grips on pull downs & seated cable rows along with going one arm on MTS machine rows has made a visceral difference in the quality of back day. I’ve got doms in 24 hours rather than 48. Been lifting on/off for over a decade. Solid content!
Big big big fan!!! You inspired me to become a RU-vidr to lose 160lbs thank you Alex for doing what you do! Much love big fan from Illinois. God Bless!!! 🤙🏻
I just started hitting gym trying to find my routine for gym and food and I’m doing routine right now. I’ve stopped your time today to read this simply to tell you to not stress get a good plan and show up and don’t bs and it’ll pay off also looking for gym workouts made me realize low key all workouts and equipments be working out of the same muscle groups even tho it’s push day sometimes you work out the pull muscle too. You mfs know what I mean
bro im typing this literally after just getting home from doing these workouts at the gym. im fucking dying rn these are intense asf especially doing failure sets.
For a focus on back thickness when it comes to rows, you don't want to keep your arms to the side of your body. They should be a bit wider to about a 45 degree angle but nothing more. A overhand grip will help get that angle right. Also pull the weight to your upper ab/lower chest region not to your stomach/hip region.
Nice training program brother. I really love doing barbell rows on a bench or a plate, and deadlifts helped me build a thick back. I will really try that out!
Really you only need 1 vertical pulling movement (Pullup, Pulldown, Pullover) and 1 horizontal rowing movement (Chest Supported Row, Barbell Row, Cable Row) and maybe some shrugs and face pulls to hit the less targeted muscles like rear delts and upper traps
