http://athleanx.com The #1 Back Exercise in my opinion is arguably not the pullup or the dumbbell pullover exercises. No, for sheer mass, depth and back thickness...the best back exercise for my money is the bent over barbell row.

Well imagine if there was a way to make that bent over barbell row even better? There is...by using resistance bands to assist the movement in its most difficult part of the rep!

When you're performing the bent over row back exercise, the hardest part of the rep is the bottom where you need to overcome inertia and get the weight moving, all while needing to keep your lower back safely secure and stabile.

Believe me...it's quite the challenge and really, with most people failing to do this correctly they usually wind up abandoning the exercise all together and this is a big mistake. Don't stop doing this #1 Back Exercise unless you want less than the best results!

  • Hi Jeff, I have a question, It is really necessary to take a glutamine suplement to growth muscle??, is there any brand you can suggest?, Do I take it before or after workout?...

  • @fsalasl Not completely necessary. It's a good safety net supplement to overcome depleted muscle glutamine stores. It's primarily a recovery supplement that works well if you're training hard and feel a bit run down from your workouts.

  • hi jeff please answer this I been wondering for a long time can a 15 year old boy use proteins(creatine )

  • @MrSkilzzy Hey Skilzzy.....in my opinion yes....as long as you're choosing high quality brands without any of the filler ingredients. Pure whey protein and pure creatine monohydrate (used no more than 5 grams a day) are ok for 15 year olds and older. Stay away from prohormone and Nitrous oxide products however at your age.

  • Jeff please make a Bicep Peak Workout, a Running workout for increased speed,quickness, agility, balance e.t.c. and a Jumping workout to increase your vertical jump. Please and thank you, if you make it me and a bunch of my friends would be happy to buy many products from Athlean.

  • @iownyouchoob Already have. There is bicep peak workout on my channel and a jump workout. Thanks for watching and for your support!

  • I don't see how lifting up the bar is the hardest part of the movement. Its essentially the first half of a deadlift, an exercise where one should be able to use significantly more weight than on a barbell row.

  • what is the intro soundtrack

  • @JDCav24 how about bcaas?

  • can someone explain what the bands are for? why couldnt he lower the weight instead

  • @superscorpionking90 ok, bro, u got me. if 248 lbs at 5'10" is not enough for u, i'll work out harder.

  • @secutorclaudius Annnnddddd you don't have a monster back like him most likely. So you should take his free advice and do something with it to build some muscle

  • mmm... this takes the free out of freeweight. and silly me, i thought the dl was the best back movement. but then, i don't workout shirtless.

  • Jeff, Can you please give me a routine? Like what should i do monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday.. Please!! i just started and i dont know what to do :(

  • Doesn't matter about lifting it off the ground yourself he's just taking less resistance off his lower back by using those bands he is still lifting as much when he's doing them it doesn't make the weight lighter if so correct me if im wrong but yeah no one wants a messed up back.
