"If you're trying to tone up, stay between 15-20". NOT TRUE!

This channel has the best advice (Joe) but he's off on that one.

"Toning" happens when you build muscle and trim fat. AKA, diet. In the 15-20 rep range, the weight's not heavy enough to cause muscle growth. It becomes nothing more than a variation of an aerobic exercise and will only enhance muscle endurance. Think rowing (as a sport) as an example.

please help..

i feel my arms get tired during this excercise, is that normal??

somtimes its like im working my arms more than my lats..

thanks!

@xKINGkhanSRKx

you are as weak as your weakest part of the link...your forearms are weak then your workout will be weak and since back is a very strong muscle you are not hitting it like you should

[orangeiceice12]

@xKINGkhanSRKx He's an idiot. This exercise like almost all back exercises works biceps peripherally. Just like oftentimes your triceps will get tired before your chest does on the bench press, on back exercises your biceps can tire first. The solution to this is to develop more angles of attack, i.e. doing flies in addition to benches or w/e.

As for this, also make sure you've got a wide overhand grip to place your biceps in a weaker position.

[delcshimo]

@xKINGkhanSRKx Thats common, first thing you should practice when doing back is thinking of your arms as hooks and pulling with your back not pulling with your arms, also try using straps because itll take alot of weight off your arms and make you concentrate on your back

[elbsenk]

For the record, Joe, wider grip will not increase biceps engagement. Wider grip engages the teres major, lower trapezius, and high lat fibers. Bicep work less the wide your grip gets.

[McGowanChris]

I tried this today and was feeling it more in arms and shoulders. Should the chest be pushed out while keeping the lower back curved or not? I didn't feel anything in my lower back.

[MAXMARTINS23]

this is exactly as I do to train my lats, great video, perfect !!!

[metalwolfy]

i would like to thank you for this video..

but can i ask why is it that when i pull .. i feel my shoulders instead of my lats? how can i correct this? i did keep an arc in my back

[studiobuddy]

too  much weight

[mrmusicdj]

@metalwolfy first start with a light weight to get the right feel of the movement. try gripping the bar as lightly as possible and concentrate on pulling from ur elbows down. another thing to try is wrist straps to help reduce that grip and focus on the back muscle

[MrNasco83]

@metalwolfy

because you want to keep your shoulder girdle in place, not stretching it too far up

[LGseb]

@metalwolfy

Your grip on the bar is too wide

[commandant15]

@metalwolfy ur arms are shoulder level, they should be a little wider but not too wide
