I first watched this video series about a month ago. After creating my own routine based on your advice and workouts I have noticed an increase and both size and strength. I've managed to drop 20 lbs. and put on lean muscle. Ive also been following some of your nutritional advice from other videos. Thank you for posting your tips and tricks and advice. it has helped me continue my battle to rid myself of diabetes and become a more healthier person overall. I look forward to future videos and more importantly being around for my family and friends because of a healthier life style.
Applied some of these principles you showed us in these four back videos to my workout and felt a better pump today. Feel like my workout has been optimized. Thank you James. Vice President of BPI, filled with projects, has time to maintain an awesome body and still does this in youtube. Superman! 💪
Why have I only just found James Grage ?? Changed my routine last week using ATT and now I feel like the first day in the gym ...every muscle burnt !! Puts all other instructional videos in the bin .cheers James . Rich UK
Good workout. Starting doing 20-40 rep supersets like this about a year ago. Some friends think I'm crazy but I've had the best results from it. Love to watch them struggle with it when they are used to doing 3 sets of 10. Not only builds size but also muscular endurance. Lots of people focus on size only but if you don't have great endurance you aren't in good shape. Period.
Did this work out recently, kept it light (no egos!) used good technique (takes a bit to get used to) and two days later my back ached like hell. Love your technique and advice is solid. Six pack short cuts have been left in the dust with their shirtless antics. Thank you James.
You are a modern day Vince Gironda; he too discussed at length working muscles from different angles to achieve the most growth in the shortest time possible. I enjoy watching your videos because you are so well versed. Thanks, James.
I just discovered you today and watched about 4 of your videos. You take the science of working out/bodybuilding and explain it in such a clear-cut way, it makes your videos easy to follow. I just want to say job well done and I look forward to your videos going forward. I will be applying these techniques in my back routine today.
Just wanted to say thank you. You really took me to another level. I have been working out since I was 17 and I am 42 now. I grew up learning from Arnold and others in the gym. My form has always been amazing, at least I thought it was. Thank you for this video and others. they are all helpful. Edward
I've been waiting for a long time to find a workout channel that is SO SPECIFICALLY detailed! Love this channel. Extremely helpful! Keep it up James! We all appreciate it.
Dude u are the man I use to work out did it for 4 yrs fell off do to life and kids . Back after 6 yrs and these workouts are great. Love the burn. Seeing results pretty quick after just 2 months thanks
Decades of experience and amazing tips and tricks given generously for free from this awesome guy... many thanks James... for me by far nmr one fitness channel right now.. small tip: the pull-down works for me even better with 2 ropes, if available.
Dear James, how are you man? Duddy, I started workout my back with your techniques and finally I felt my back!!! Now I completely understand what means feel the muscle and connectly mentaly with it! Thank you fellow!
Man I've been lifting heavy for years, I'm 6'3" 275. I was looking for a change in my workouts and just recently started watching your videos and love them!!! You have changed my opinion about going lighter on the weight and focusing on better form. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work!!!
Damn. is this dude good. Thorough instruction. Best on YT i think. Handful of others in that top tier. I think he's better than Olympia winners i see on here.
I just want to thank you for the commitment of what you do. I'm envious of where you are but grateful I get to learn from where you have been. I love what you are doing for Kirby truly wish I was in his spot!
thanks James I was stock with one routine that I learn 10yr ago this set of exercises for the back are the best that I try so far and I'm sticking you good form advice.
I love how raw your videos are and how interactive you are. Definitely showing off good form which I'm taking notes of and implementing. Thank you, keep it up!
Your instruction is superb. Your camera man should focus more on the muscle group you're demonstrating. In my opinion, he focuses on your face and your dialogue but forgets about the actual movement and muscle group you're flexing. If you fix that, you'll be one of the best instructors on TH-cam.
you all probably dont care but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Musa Alonso Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Can't wait for the advance leg workout. I've been incorporating the other workouts and so far it's been kicking my ass. Awesome job on this video as always!
great video! you really don't notice how many people have bad form and technique in the gym until you really watch these videos I've learned a lot and it's actually funny going to the gym and seeing these guys pick up more weights than they supposed to anyways great video.
this is smart lifting! I've discovered that I've been doing some exercises wrong. I really like the detailed explanation of how the muscles work and why the exercises have to been done a certain way. I feel like I'll make faster and better gains using lower weight. Thank you James Grage! John G
you are the best every coach I have found until now ... thanks alot alot sir for sharing this exercise with us .... please make for use list of supplyment to refer under student life budge .. I am waitting for your new videos .
hey this is the first video that i have watched . i really learned alot . i have lost lots of weight this summer and im looking foward to train. thank you for taking your time to show us tips and tricks plus its well explained thanks again
I love the concept of doing a recruitment set for most of your exercises, it's really smart and it helps build a good muscle/ mind connection before you do your working sets. I'm planning on following most of your routines for a while. Looking forward to the results!
Since I started using your regimen doing 4 sets per exercise rather than 3, I've seen more growth. I'm a natural lifter so results is what I'm after. Thx for the help. Btw, did you say use light weighter lol. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Look forward to more content
These workouts are amazing! The image of pulling from the elbows worked perfectly. I don't think I've ever been so aware of my back muscles. After a week of these workouts, I am incredibly sore - in a good way. Thanks so much for this! Looking forward to legs!
Thanks for these workouts James, you should have alot more subscribers! I've just started working out 2 months ago and alot of the things i've learned were because of you. keep up the videos man! much love from the Netherlands!
James Grage thanks for replying. I am glad I subscribed. I am in DOMS after yesterdays workout. I feel that I have hit my muscles better this time :). Cheers!
Hey James, i love your videos. When you were talking about the geeky stuff in the first video i watched of your i was like "oh come on man just get to the workout". But after watching more of it i realized this is EXACTLY what i have been wanting. Someone to show me why i'm doing certain things and how to target specific areas. I've been told for years that if i want to get big i have to lift heavy and heavy only. Well that doesn't always work. My body hasn't changed in a long time. I'm addicted to your videos now. I have now lowered the weight and also doing the 20,10,10,15 rep counts and using correct form. Just loving it. Although after some workouts (especially back) i don't feel sore the next day. Even though i "killed" the workout as Kirby would say lol. I have really tried focusing on the mind muscle connection and using correct form but sometimes i don't feel sore at all the next day which is disappointing. Do you know why that happens? Does this happen to you? Am i still achieving anything or was the workout a waste of time? Hope to here from you. Thanks
Happens with me a lot back and shoulders I have problem feeling the soreness, I swear some times it feels like I'll kill shoulders and the next day it'll be hard to tell if they're sore, but I have noticed results
Reading thru comments, lol; people seem to be crying about supersets in a busy gym, Just cause he's doing a super set doesn't mean you can't do it one at a time people! Some moves you can, some you can't, it's the overall movement that matters, as he says, form over weight! Do what you can with what you have, do it right, and focus! Stay Buff! Stay Tuff!
Thanks you so much for the awesome tips and full workout video. I been watching your other advance training techniques and it has helped me immensely. I been training back the wrong way for years and was wondering why I’m not seeing gains on my lats. I’m starting light now and focusing on good form. Thank you so much and wish you will come back at some point to make more ATT videos!
Brand new subscriber! I tried this workout this morning... good looooooord! It made me realize how I have been doing wrong form! I am super sore. Looking forward to the rest of the workouts. Thank you
I've been watching your videos and doing your routines since 2 or 3 weeks ago bro, and have helped me a lot in my workout, thanks a lot man!!! Keep doing this. Greetings from Mexico
Super awesome channel James. Really appreciate your content! I did your shoulder workout this morning and I honestly never actually felt my shoulders working until that workout. I had veins popping and actually had a pump like I get in my arms or chest. I like how you really harp the form and feeling the muscle work. I know that I tend to want to sling heavy weights around and get a mediocre pump. I'd much rather focus on the muscle and get a nasty pump. Again thanks!!
james awesome job on videos. i started with your excercises and I been getting sore in places I didnt know I had. lol congrats on your recovery and accomplishments
i watched three of his back videos...this guy knows what he's talking about, very informative , thank you very much. ( one question he is natural right ?
Great great great video Mr.Grage. I can`t thank you enough! I have a question; From now on I will train every body part 2 times a week. Is it ok, if i seperate width and thickness exercises, for example mondays width and thursdays thickness? Because of i will train 2 times a week, i need to limit my number of sets for every workout and keep them between 12-15. If i train more i feel myself not so good at the next workout of the same body part. Have a good day sir, Your channel deserves millions of subscribers!

The whole concept of pulling and leading with your elbows and NOT your hands got me! This guy really knows his shit
I really need to take notes on these videos. It's like having my own personal trainer, so amazing!
“Lights weighter” 💀 I come to this video every now and then just to hear that. Gets me everytime. Great workout bro

im so happy that my gym has two “mini” gyms in case it overflows but when it’s not busy it allows me to perform these types of supersets 🙏🏽
I love how raw your videos are and how interactive you are. Definitely showing off good form which I'm taking notes of and implementing. Thank you, keep it up!
Your instruction is superb. Your camera man should focus more on the muscle group you're demonstrating. In my opinion, he focuses on your face and your dialogue but forgets about the actual movement and muscle group you're flexing. If you fix that, you'll be one of the best instructors on TH-cam.

Would like to admire James as a very smart muscleman, that is an honest compliment!

Great channel. I've incorporated your workouts and methods and I can definitely feel the difference. Keep it up. Looking forward to the legs workout!
perfect explanation of exercise..great
Great great great video Mr.Grage. I can`t thank you enough!
I have a question;
From now on I will train every body part 2 times a week. Is it ok, if i seperate width and thickness exercises, for example mondays width and thursdays thickness? Because of i will train 2 times a week, i need to limit my number of sets for every workout and keep them between 12-15. If i train more i feel myself not so good at the next workout of the same body part.
Have a good day sir, Your channel deserves millions of subscribers!
