My best two back exercises: One armed dumbbell rows & alternating lat pull downs. Had back surgery on L4/L5 and have compressed vertebra fracture in mid back so these work best.

@RDS_Armwrestling 3 года назад

Single arm dumbbell rows, seated single arm high cable rows

@philclarke3660 3 года назад

Gotta say I absolutely love both these exercises you show here. I learned these lat pulldowns tweaks, like keeping the humerus in front of your body and not letting it move behind your body to actually target the lats and not upper back, from Paul Carter and it's made all the difference. Love the chest-supported T bar row because I can get a huge stretch and also arch my back at the top for a massive pump, but my current gym doesn't have one. Also been doing your cable row/pulldown hybrid variation the last few weeks and absolutely loving them for lats.

@coacheugeneteo 3 года назад

awesome!!

@user-us4mc7ej3c 2 года назад

to mimic the tbar row you can put the extremity of an olympic barbell in the low corner of a squat rack which will prevent the bar from going anywhere. Then you take a v-handle and use it to lift the other extremity of the barbell (by placing yourself in the same position as he was in the video but without the chest support)

@tokenjay 2 года назад

Thanks Eugene, these pulldowns killed my lats…. Felt like the first leg day after a long break but for my wings.

@robbiasetti4678 3 года назад

For me, I really like standing straight arm cable pullover. I find it easy to manipulate the strength profile by easily altering the starting position. Downside is lack of bracing...but with lots of practice I get an incredible contraction and pump from them. I also like a chest supported db row but the downside is the mismatch of loading v strength curve as you mentioned. But that can be addressed by choosing appropriate loads for a specific portion of the range and perhaps doing/emphasizing those ranges. I do like the freedom of dbs especially from a radioulnar perspective.

@Dumbell-Dad 3 года назад

I've been using your version of incline pulldowns for maybe a year now, after seeing Fouad Abiad demonstrating on his channel. (He called them "Hoss Pulldowns." ) The contraction feels SO much better than conventional pulldowns. Nothing else gives me that on fire feeling in my lats. Also I've recently come to love Seated 1-Arm Cable Rows, which I saw Flex Wheeler teaching, and also more recently done by Hunter Labrada on Gasp's channel. Love that intense contraction. Thank you for your excellent tutelage Eugene!

@coacheugeneteo 3 года назад

Thank you!

@tojoakuma 3 года назад

Bo Roofus, what is that incline attachment called? I need to track one of those down.

@Dumbell-Dad 3 года назад

Randy, I've seen these "face down, incline bench pulldowns" performed with various cable attachments. At my gym, the one I love to use is an old double-ended kevlar-type strap, which has loops on either end. I'm able to put my hands through each loop and anchor myself to the cable, without using any grip muscles at all. It really helps me take my biceps out of the movement. But I have seen it done with Wide straight bar, close grip V-bar, Rope, Mag grips, ets. The key for me was finding the right placement and angle of the bench, so that the cable attachment does not scrap or hit the brace underneath the bench. I hope my description makes sense. But here is a link to Fouad's video that helped me a lot: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ISvy9OC8nnM.html Best of luck to you sir.

I used to have a job where I had pull 300kg bales across a huge steel bench about 10 times a day the table anchored me down so you could drag huge amounts of weight it put me in a very similar position as your pull down technic and it grew my lats pretty well the stretch from the heavy weight feels amazing too.

@gato49 3 года назад

I like the cable one-arm lat pull in with the arm at about 45 degrees up and about 15 in front pulling with the elbow to the hip. Second would be a barbell row on an incline bench of ~30 degrees with the upper back hanging off for a stretch at the beginning and pulling the bar up and slightly back. The first exercise I got from Doug Brignole and the second from Ben Pakulski whose friend u had in the video 😉

@Nathanael_Camacho 10 месяцев назад

Favorite 2 Back exercises (I posted these before watching the video): 1.) Single-Arm DB row (machine or DB) - Provides a crucial stretch that bilateral exercises don’t provide, and I find it hard to feel my Lats working on other movements 2.) 45-degree Barbell Row -Helped my entire back finally blow up, I can really feel my back on this movement. This exercise just works so well for me

@Nathanael_Camacho 10 месяцев назад

Other notes: The barbell row does not hit the floor at the bottom range of movement, so use a surface to create a decline, or use smaller weights. Unlike machines (which are still amazing,) you can find an angle that works for you.

I have a question for you where did you get that lat pulldown bar that you have the D handles attached to I would love to get one!

@Strength4BodyandMind 3 года назад

Lat pull downs without a seat or bench. I usually put a mat on the floor and get on my knees. I feel like this gives me more of a stretch at the top of the lift while also increasing the range of motion. Additionally it allows me to pick my own starting point as far as the angle in which I'm pulling at. I also do pull ups but my upper back is drastically under developed. That's why I'm here after all lol. Thanks for the awesome content.

@MJ-rr4hd 2 года назад

Wow I can't believe how similar my lat pulldown technique is to yours. I also use a bench exactly the way you do.

@johnpv6498 3 года назад

Nice video. My two go to back movements are Neutral grip pull ups and standing rope cable rows. I like doing assisted pull ups with slow and controlled reps, using both a neutral grip and a wide grip. I also prefer doing my cable rows standing because I enjoy super setting high rows with mid rows for rhomboid and rear delt development.

@g-zoukaustria7863 3 года назад

Now I know why I feel my lats better on the machine in my fitnessstudio and train there my lats and not on the Pulldowns, because the machine put me in the exact position that you set up in your first exercise with the bench. Thanks!
