[emericaordie15]

notice he looks way leaner heree

[666kaz999]

broke in2 the gym after hours and he thought he heard the security at 2:36 lol

[SitePlox]

I want to point out your thumb for the first exercise is aligned with the rest of your hand. I read that this activates more of your back.

[saxiv]

Excellent videos man - really helps me out as I have never been to a gym before. Thanks :)

[RICHYrichMEOW]

@MrYeeyAhh i thinks its oct 17

[MrNickOnUTube]

thumbs up for no resaon

[tyciol]

I don't think you're right about the lats disengaging, but I think what happens is due to perhaps underactivate insufficiency and upward scapular rotation (and elevation) maybe the load shifts to other muscles of the back.

You could be right about lat emphasis but if we are okay with and maybe even want to build other back muscles, isn't it okay to stretch at the top? I am worried about tight lats making overhead pressing difficult so stretching at the top I hope helps it.

scott herman ur such a legend

[Smurfette2007]

scott your the man

[7milejog]

so the key to an effective workout is posture an technique

[benniturd]

I learnt not to go all the way up... Nice one.

[dtnewtonesquire]

the man knows what he's talking about.

[peoplelondon]

Papacito

Gimme more Daddy

[ccm800]

The only thing High about him is his inflated opinion of himself. Keep it classy friendly are exceptionally generous like you always do Scott! Really appreciate your experience and advice. Its a great service.

[ILikeToitIes]

OH yea. And ANOTHER THING!

He is showing you how to use machines. He's not saying you can only benefit from strict iron Olympic free weights with 10 people around you. You DON'T have to have free weights to gain muscle, people!

Do what works for you!

[Shonaripa]

@ILikeToitIes actually you have to have free weights to gain decent muscle. There's not a single fit person out there who has become fit using only machines. Machines work perfectly, but not alone. Think you're just afraid to do it a bit more old school, cuz in the end it's harder because you have to stabilize and so forth, cuz it's only you and the weight.

[ILikeToitIes]

1) He isn't arrogant and have the attitude that "hey you're lucky you found ME"

THAT turns so many beginners off that are researching and trying to learn.

2) He IS a kid! And look at that development!!! WOW! I think the proof is in HIS pudding more than in yours. Sorry.

3) He is helping people by teaching them proper technique and consistency while eating properly. No strict "my way or NO WAY" systems, none of that.

I've learned to listen to people like "kiddo" here. ;)

[ILikeToitIes]

Well I'm 38 and I can tell you I've tried it all. I've done 5x5, HST, 30 reps down to 3 reps, once per week, twice per week, and 3 and 4 times per week.

Most of these cookie cutter "lock in place" systems don't work for the majority. There is the reason most people don't go by these strict systems. There's 3 reasons Scott has inspired me to get back to working out after a long lay off;

- continued -

[mrhighintensity]

.I am just trying to help you learn some new stuff kiddo - LOL

happy tgiving to you too! - go eat...looks like you need a few calories to help you add some extra growth.

[ILikeToitIes]

I never understood the attitude from these folks who say you HAVE to lock out the joints at the end of the exercise (take squats for example).

You can clearly see it disengages the lats when you go all the way up with the weight. I'd rather keep my lats engaged, as well.

You're all about HIT MR but have you ever heard of TUT? Time Under Tension is the most important aspect of working out, besides the weight you use. You LOOSE this if you fully lock out joints and extend lats.

[mrhighintensity]

The term TUT is actually a way we HITters measure our progression for the most part. I dont get your point here buddy? - Keeping your muscles under full contraction during a full range of motion is of course important. We HIT guys stress that point a lot. I got over 60 phone clients and over 30 gym clients that train under my supervision and I really don't have time to start a pissing contest with this kid - when you all ready to get some advanced advice...feel free to contact me - MR

[ShaolinSlo]

hey scott i got a question... i grow muscles fast and some would take that for granted but i got a problem... when i do some back exercises i feel my upper back way too much and i dunno how i could avoid it, because i hate those muscles near my neck (dunno how you call them) to grow bigger... it makes me look like a monkey.

[robertbrown1988]

hey scott ya man wtf? some people have no life. except the one they have on youtube. or in their case, immadouchetube. LOL. anywho, have a good week and thanksgiving. cant wait for some good stuffing! later budd

[ccm800]

right on!

[mrhighintensity]

I am almost 40 years old with over 23 years experience...thats why I call you kiddo ..kiddo - as far as caliber goes...yes indeed I am - have worked with some of the greatest when you were shitting in your pants still buddy - I was trying to give you some tips here but u wanna be a wise ass..go fuck off kiddo - MR

[ccm800]

someone needs to put down the barbells and work on his manners

[mrhighintensity]

If you refering to me..I don't use barbells for the most part - I leave that to "caveman" that still haven't realized that machines are the better choice - LOL

[mrhighintensity]

Don't get so defensive kiddo - when you grow up and learn what I know you will look at things hopefully differently and maybe even take some advice from someone of the caliber of me. lol

[mrhighintensity]

Its impossible to remember each single rep increase for anyone - reps and weight have to be exaclty measured - in other words..you need to know wether you di 7 reps or 9 reps last time with lets say 100 pounds for example - each workout CAN be and should be a slight progression even if its just a single rep as long as the rep cadence stays the same. Most trainers and trainees do not keep an exact workout log and therefore are like blind leading the blind - MR

[mrhighintensity]

A reverse grip pulldown would be better - do you keep records oof each of your workouts,ie. reps..sets...workload..etc?

[mrhighintensity]

'deactivating you lats' ?- actually you providing a full range of motion by going all the way - which will provide a greater growth stimulus. Your video is well done otherwise

[christophela]

I agree about the range of motion, if u get that extra inch then its an extra inch harder on the muscles, if u dont have any pause at the top of the movement then the most that the lats aren't going to be engaged is a split second but its worth it to gain that extra inch (or watever) in the range, MRht has 11years ahed so is bound to be bigger (which he is) but i dont agree on documentin evry rep n weight, i believe in lisenin to ur body n makin slight increases in weight each week! easy 2 rembr

[mrhighintensity]

Listening to your body? - there is NO instinctive way to measure your workouts - each workout can be and should be an improvement - that is if you understand that even a single rep increase is an increase, given that the rep cadence is the same. I can only stress the importance of a workout log therefore - it will guide as a great motivation - basically a guide to adjust, frequency-volume and intensity...which are the main factors playing part in a successful journey to a muscular physique -MR

[jumar1281]

i feel like its hard for me to get in a really good back workout. when training back, my biceps get burned out long before my back muscles

[binot]

looks like the gym was closed when u filmed =)

[AntiMale]

Thanks to your videos I won't look like a dumbass when I try out new machines.

[ozzy1267]

awesome XD

yeah now theirs stuff on their i can do =D ty

gotta wait a few weeks now untill i can try your tips :(

i dislocated my knee and can't walk so good at the moment XD

[cutey955]

thanks

[ozzy1267]

Damn these vid's you've been making just shows that the gym I go to sucks...

most of the machines you used I don't seem to have.

[cutey955]

no. i just love to eat . it's quite hard to control my eating habits. especially fast foods

[cutey955]

owh hi scott. i'm 14 and goin' 15 next year. i'm 209 pounds. can you suggest what kind of exercise that's suitable 4 my age

[raymondclare2009]

i will try cause im just starting college and u kno being a fashion major get kinda crazy

[hurrykaneecko]

okay! thanks man now thats one of my main goals set and ready to be done

[jrg305]

Your Cybex machines in that gym are WAY newer than the ones at UT Austin. We're stuck in the late 80s/early 90s...

[omission13]

nice demo. This is probably one of my fave exercises.

[sturdyguy]

Keep em coming Scott. U R the best! sg

[PerfectAngel1738]

haha 4:00 scott trying to be strict then laughing at himself lol

[mike199018]

5 star for that short

[hurrykaneecko]

scott how long would u think it would take to gain at least 4 or 5 inch on your hole arms with a ok diet? also get a bigger chest an shoulder? thanks :D p.s 5/5 ;)

[cranbourne69]

nice bulge in those shorts ;)

[zrx7769]

@cranbourne69 thats his clit

[STARPHROST]

LOL yes we will do this correctly!!!

just wondering which is better for lats? this machine or plain old pull ups?

[RoseCabrera19]

thanks for the awesome tips.

[zlaith]

gr8 vid scott, but whats the difference between when u lock ur legs in & when u don't? ....so the 2nd postion won't work ur back ? only works the core?

[lawrencer1978]

I pulled my leg on a exercise bike today and now its all mangled*lol*, anyways good work out Scott!. Btw your skin looks so smooth and soft!, you'd make a perfect cuddle bug*heh*.

[longisland216]

great video n great tips for these type of workouts, thanx.

[coolboy065]

thanx da vid was very informative, keep on bein awesome

[artifact380]

Excellent workout! Very professional and it sure looks efficient. I was wondering if you would have a problem training a gay person?

[theVstop]

I think your next video should be, Hot To: Pump & Thrust. hehe :)

[sta937]

On the lat pulldown, I'd usually go all the way up... Now I know not to do that.  Thanks for another great video Scott!

[nightlight12340]

"Flying out of the seat"

Lmao.

[cumbinow4fun]

Excellent as always - Excellent body and physique along with super information and wow the "eye candy" gets better with every video I see, but, more importantly, so does the trust I place in your information and advice to better improve my knowledge and understanding of exercise physiology and it's true relationship to an outstanding workout..just amazing how dedicated you are to your body and to sharing that dedication with others so willingly to help so many succeed at becoming and staying fit

[rbrown2697]

How the hell did you learn all this stuff? Is it just years of experimenting? Impressive.

[gamepete64]

He said he's worked at a gym since he was 12.

I'm gonna try this out tomorrow. I'm switching gyms, going to Planet Fitness starting this week.

[pikachululo]
