  • Ready for a rough back workout... Let's get after it!
    I realized last night that I haven't filmed a FULL back workout in a while, only pieces or given insights on how to do specific exercises. That made me really want to put together a full workout so everyone knows exactly how hard you need to train your entire back to get it to grow and get that coveted V-Taper!
    Let me know what video you want next and get after it.

  • @marcdoyle7757
    @marcdoyle7757 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Watching Ryan do lat pull downs is enough just to see how I’ve been doing lat pull downs so wrong my whole life. You can see they trajectory of the wide grip bar so clearly in such a short video and correcting yourself to that movement really means those lats light up!!
    Thank you Ryan - if they ever have a fitness TH-camr of the year award you have my vote!

  • @ingagesecurity8530

    Your posts have helped my recover from 3 injuries in 8 months, all of which required surgical intervention.
    1. Aug 2020: a completely torn Left hamstring
    2. March 22: a partially torn R Meniscus
    3. April 2021: 70% torn Left biceps tendon
    After living in the gym for over 1/2 my life (owning 4 for a few years too and working with some of our own trainers), I was within striking distance of the shape I wanted (more or less). The injuries and subsequent rehab periods were difficult in so many ways. Checking ego at the door and hobbling around between PT and the weight room floor was humbling. Then I found your channel and decided to go back to formula with training and start studying your videos. I have learned so much and applied it to my recovery. Now? I am nearly back to full strength in some areas and actually better than before than others. Your rep tempo, movement ariations, focus on lighter and far more controlled movements etc have made a huge difference. And the no BS way you deliver info is terrific! Just wanted to say thank you. You coached me and didn't know it. Thanks again.

  • @cirogomorra7456

    The funny things is that if any1 would do any of these exercises like this, I would think they were using poor form/doing cheat reps. When Ryan does it and explains it i'm like "yea makes sense" lol

    • @dharmaram7527
      @dharmaram7527 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Ciro Gomorra That’s how things evolve in life. People question things of the status quo, and explore and find other ways. If it works for some than it works. For example the first exercise is essentially starts at a vertical pathway of the muscle fibers and ends with a horizontal pathway (horizontal row).

    This content is important to me, as a person that has tried to just “pain and gain” my way through training, not that effort is unimportant, but Ryan’s approach is much more thoughtful. It’s created with the idea in mind that focus, planning, and precision are, at least, as important as the effort. A technical approach, with a healthy dose his own personal ingenuity.
