This exercise and 3 other variations can be performed in a much more easier and effective way by using the pullup assist machine, the one that has the multiple grips and angles handles on them, you can do open palm pull ups, close grips, palms facing front, chin up, wide and close and its more of a natual fluid motion.
thanks for the new vid joe! always a big help with showing proper form and expressing the importance of it in your vids. is charles glass coming back for some vids this year?
@HansF Eat more (a lot more). Especially more carbs, it's not only protein. Carbs give you energy and therefor strength and power.
You also need to train as if your life depends on it. Don't be afraid to faint or puke. You might want to get a spotter so you can really push it to the limit and train heavy as fuck. Set up some goals. Work towards those goals. After trying all this, you might take your bodybuilding to another level. As long as you remain patient and persistent.
@HansF When I started lifting I was 6'3" 155 lbs. I'm up to 192 lbs as of yesterday morning. It's taken years to get here but if you are new to training and train right and eat right your body will respond quickly and you can put on 20-30 lbs in abt 3 months. Those results will of course plateau. Hit me up if you have specific questions.
@jmoss97 I have 2 questions if you would be nice enough to respond, I appreciate it.
Since my labral tear occured in my shoulder, shoulder shruggs and upright row exercises are particulary tough on my shoulder, any alternative?
2. Are all those back exercises where you sit down and pull weight towards yourself at different angles effective?
3. I have always had trouble growing biceps. Before my injury I could curl a clean 140lb max and 100lb 10 reps. whats the deal with small strong biceps?
@SSSDiaz7 I'd be glad to help. I'm no personal trainer I'm just a gut who likes to work out. That being said, fitness is a passion of mine and over the years I've read and learned a lot. In regards to your first question I'll tell you this, I've never sustained any shoulder injury but always found upright rows awkward and uncomfortable.
@SSSDiaz7 I have found that doing uni-lateral upright rows with a weight plate or dumbbell (you could also try kettle bells) I do not experience that same discomfort. To me, it's a much more natural motion and I'm able to get a full range of motion.
Your second question was referring to seated rows. The back is the largest, most complex muscle group of the body and needs to be worked from many angles. The 2 main ways to work the back are pull ups/pull downs and rows.
@SSSDiaz7 That being said, seated rows are a good exercise. Rows in general will tend to add more thickness to your back whereas pullups and pull downs will tend to increase the width of your back. Lastly, as far as your biceps not growing, I'd say its nutrition. You need to make sure that your are eating more calories than you are consuming on a daily basis. Your body wants to stay proportional, so in order for your arms to grow, your entire body needs to grow.
@SSSDiaz7 I use to struggle with the same issues. I was getting stronger but not really getting bigger. I began to see immediate results when I began to eat properly. There are 3 components to getting bigger, 1. Lift heavy 2. Eat a lot 3. Rest. You have to do all 3 to see gains on the scale and in the mirror. Hope this helps. Btw, let me know how the uni-lateral upright rows work for you.
@SSSDiaz7 One more alternative to shruggs is farmers walks, I've recently incorporated them into my workouts and love them. Not sure how that will work with your shoulder though, Any time you are working an area that has been injured, use extreme caution, start of light, and don't rush yourself, be patient. Better slow and steady than to re-injure yourself
@jmoss97 I appreciate your help, one thing I know for a fact is that getting a group of guys to agree on a workout regimen as to what exercises you should focus on is impossible, I can't tell you how many times I have switched things up to see if that particular method works for me and you just gotta try different things and find out. I had another question for you, some calve exercises put so much stress on my knees which ones are most effective? I like to do extensions with 4- 45lb cont....
@jmoss97 plates on the floor 2 on each side close together on the floor to create an incline, a 2 stack right next to a 2 stack of 45lb's then I put the front of my foot inside the handles of the 45 lb plates, doing raises with 55lb dumbells in each hand. You need an incredible amount of stability to not fall off, its crazy.
@SSSDiaz7 If your trying to bulk up, I would not worry abt calves right now, they are a small muscle group. Typically I will superset seated calve raises with calve raises on a leg press machine.
@HansF As someone who has been lifting on and off since 1992, I can say that patience is probably the more important thing. Don't lift till you puke. There is such a thing as over training. Diet is important. There is little debate on protein. The consensus is 1 gram per pound of body weight per day. There is debate on the ratio of carbs to fat though. They are your energy. You can play with the ratio and see what works best for your energy and weight gain. Unused carbs become fat.
@goose1077 back to patience. You will look a lot better a year or 5 years from now if you are patient than if you shoot for fast results and give up or stop going because you dread the extreme overdone workout you have planned for yourself.
@goose1077 I can't agree more with you, I have been lifting weights since late 2006, and at multiple points I reached many plateaus and many timed I would force myself to go tired, not having recovered from my previous workout, and never willing to budge to hit lighter weight for more reps on my bad days, well I had a shoulder labral tear, took 2 months off, hit lots of reps light weight, worked on form, 3 days rest work on the 4th, and after 4 months I recovered 80%, at 6 months i will be 100%
Excellent videos
