This might be a back attack video by Big Mike, but if you watch him closely on the chest press somewhere around 17:00, this variation of having the palms opened and mimicking a "converging high-five to the mirror" does make a lot of difference. Left my damn pecs sore for days. Yes, the lower pecs were pretty much equally spent even though it was a seated press. To be honest, I have incorporated these and others that Big Mike has put out and I have to say it is well worth it. This man right here deserves more subs and his channel is a hidden gem. Sorry BIg Mike, had to drop this on a back video. 😄
Appreciate that John. If subs come I’m grateful. Just going to keep spitting the truth regardless. Can’t do all the corny shit I see on TH-cam. Just isn’t in me
I come back to this video every week before my back workout and listen to Mike explain different angles and arm movement. This single tutorial is the reason for the progress that I have made and I can't thank Mike enough.
Another great back technique video! All the different machines used hit upper, middle and lower. Vertical, horizontal it doesn't matter. It depends on how you postion yourself and how your pulling. Thanks for adding your clients page to see his progress! He's at the right place with the right teacher!
For the last 3 years I've been training pretty seriously. Always had problems with lat development. It wasn't until I started following you about a year ago through the hd muscle channel and then your channel when you started it, that it finally clicked. I never realized I was constantly walking around with my back tight and scrunched up. The way you described opening up the back and getting full extension to really feel the lat might be the single biggest piece of advice I have gotten to date. Appreciate all you do your content is invaluable.
If there's a positive impact and huge fascinating change in the fitness industry its because of your knowledge and your techniques and tips, thank you sir Mike 🔥.
Great video. Watching your videos has taught me that I need to improve my shoulder mobility and my ability to flare my chest. So before I start my lat exercises, I try to loosen them up by moving the shoulders back and forth and up and down, and I practice flaring my chest. My lack of mobility in those areas, and the popular advice to lock them in from the start of each set may have been limiting my lat gains. I also have to work on my head forward (computer neck) issues.
Truth spoken as usual. I was actually pleasantly surprised by my lat development in the past few months but the ugly truth behind not being able to shake an almost regularly flaring up inflammation of the bicep tendon suggests I'm still botching execution of many of these movements. Thank you for the pointers and cues in this video.
Fuck Yea, Coach! I am just now learning to open my mid-back through working angles. School taught us how to be rigid. I appreciate your flow. Keep fuckin grinding man.
We got away from basic/natural movements for some Yoke and hold my beer training. I was lost with different techniques and Mike got my focus back on stretch and feels like a bodybuilder should train. Awesome videos...
Video after video, just speaking truth and his perspective on workouts. Even for the average gym goer, these tips are absolutely game changing. I would love to see like a “Back to Basics, Wicked Way” series haha
Another good one. Your information has definitely helped me figure out a better muscle connection in areas. Liked the Shaw reference too, would be cool to see you two in a video together.
I fully agree with your views on decline pressing, for many many years I did them and thought they were essential for me, and it took a lot of exposure to other information and trying other things to realize it was a crappy exercise
Mike I know you don’t like to comment to much, or for a better word, be a chatty patty. Just wanted to add on and say thank you for all the enlightenment, I really, we really appreciate you taking time to give us all a different perspective on what we thought we probably knew!
I can understand both view points. The guys saying we want to be bigger. We have an idea in mind like oh I want to look like Lou Ferrigno The Hulk right? So we have this Macro view and the micro view never occurs to us but now that you mentioned it we can go oh…ok I see what your saying.
I have a three day split (back bicep,chest triceps,shoulders legs)x2 a week, I used to wait 350 im at 275 right now, usually I do eat in a deficit around 2100 calories but lately I just enjoy my meals of course being conscious when I overboard. Should I focus more on cardio to loose the weight or be steady with my split
Another brilliant video mate. Genuinely not trying to cause any shit or anything but what dyu think of James Hollingshead physique and how he trains? He seems like a great dude but he trains super heavy which is impressive as fuck but is it good for bodybuilding?
Yesterday I walked in on someone decline pressing on a Smith with his feet locked down like he was about to be shot into orbit. It looked literally painful
I never was that big of a fan of decline, but especially after I learned how to press and feel chest, I randomly done it one day and was like "what the absolute fuck is this??" Never even thought to do it sense 😂
I really like the way you teach this information. I just want to understand how to “lock down” on specific muscle groups like give me an operational definition so I know if I’m doing correctly (back specifically)

knowledge,common sense and thought... awesome
thank u Mr.mike very much
Thank u for watching
Mike never stop these videos they are amazing! love to hear your input! Really change the way i think about movements and working out in general
Happy to hear that
If there's a positive impact and huge fascinating change in the fitness industry its because of your knowledge and your techniques and tips, thank you sir Mike 🔥.
Just telling ppl what I know to be true. Happy it’s helping
Thanks, coach!!! I applied this to my dumbbell workout (I have only have access to dumbbells and a one bench). Super helpful.
Great video. Watching your videos has taught me that I need to improve my shoulder mobility and my ability to flare my chest. So before I start my lat exercises, I try to loosen them up by moving the shoulders back and forth and up and down, and I practice flaring my chest.

Man, i wish i had this content once i was starting out. Its fucking gold for anyone wanting to learn how and why to train specific ways.
Happy it’s helping

Fuck Yea, Coach! I am just now learning to open my mid-back through working angles. School taught us how to be rigid. I appreciate your flow. Keep fuckin grinding man.

If I was in a video with Shaw I would go out to eat with the guy and kick it. Wouldn’t be talking weights
Appreciate the videos! Big fan. Thank you.

Mikes fucking bicep in demo was fucking insane
It’s torn lol. Peak is next level
Dude. . You just opened my fucking eyes!! Love your shit!!!
I'm getting a pump in the chest from watching your videos, Mike. Thank you for the advice!
I fully agree with your views on decline pressing, for many many years I did them and thought they were essential for me, and it took a lot of exposure to other information and trying other things to realize it was a crappy exercise
The crappiest of crappy exercises actually

GREAT INFORMATION…I NEED TO PUT THIS ON AT THE GYM I GO TO!! There’s took many ego lifters….
Ego is the downfall of many

I appreciate u jephta. I appreciate everyone that rides with me. Means a lot
@@Noughtnowknoteva We here big bruh, thank you!
DY approved video
Thank god
Please keep doin long videos like this
Nice saludos desde Helsinki (Finlandia)👍💪
Hello Helsinki
Big Mike , how do you feel about the seated lat pullover machine overall as a piece of equipment for lat development ?
Great for opening up lats. And teaching sternum / lat movement. But overall I’m not a fan
so on a machine incline chest press where abouts should the handles be? mid chest or just above?
I can understand both view points. The guys saying we want to be bigger. We have an idea in mind like oh I want to look like Lou Ferrigno The Hulk right? So we have this Macro view and the micro view never occurs to us but now that you mentioned it we can go oh…ok I see what your saying.
Focus on the micro to make the macro better
Looking forward to seeing you together with Chris Bumstead.
Does he mention this?
Work harder. Thx for the channel
💎’s 💯

Hey, I got a quesiton regarding fixing chest imbalance, would dumbells or machines i.e a chest press machine be better for fixing the imbalance
Too broad of a question. Don’t know what your issues are and also have never seen u move. Therefore I Can’t tell u anything
@@Noughtnowknoteva Thats alright, thank you for the response
I have a three day split (back bicep,chest triceps,shoulders legs)x2 a week, I used to wait 350 im at 275 right now, usually I do eat in a deficit around 2100 calories but lately I just enjoy my meals of course being conscious when I overboard. Should I focus more on cardio to loose the weight or be steady with my split
Nutriton is not my area of expertise. Plenty of other ppl way more qualified to help u
We want a video of mike breakdown his tattoo
Prob do a tattoo video soon of me getting tattoo’D but the tattoo body tour ain’t happening lol
Another brilliant video mate. Genuinely not trying to cause any shit or anything but what dyu think of James Hollingshead physique and how he trains? He seems like a great dude but he trains super heavy which is impressive as fuck but is it good for bodybuilding?
To each his own. James is a great bodybuilder and seems like a smart dude. What he’s doing is working
secrets out i just watch mikes videos for his segues nothing else
Lol. Right!!!
The fixed decline bench is a glorified shoulder press bench.
💪
Yesterday I walked in on someone decline pressing on a Smith with his feet locked down like he was about to be shot into orbit. It looked literally painful
Awful
Iain Valliere should listen to the speech at the beginning
Pretty sure Iain has found his lift. That’s one talented and strong mf’er
I never was that big of a fan of decline, but especially after I learned how to press and feel chest, I randomly done it one day and was like "what the absolute fuck is this??" Never even thought to do it sense 😂
Plain stupid
👍🏾
🇧🇷👀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏
I have a shit life, does that mean that I will have a great after life ?
I really like the way you teach this information. I just want to understand how to “lock down” on specific muscle groups like give me an operational definition so I know if I’m doing correctly (back specifically)
Going to make a video addressing this
@@Noughtnowknoteva Just came home from work and saw this comment it made my day. Super excited for this. Please keep making great content
