Rurik Brackett love that quote

I am confused. You literally cut and Pasted this from the description. Should I post it here as well?

Brian Alsruhe Yes, unfortunately a lot of people don’t check the description. Maybe just put it as a comment and pin it. Appreciate your content! You’ve been one of my favourite to watch

Brian Alsruhe Yes I did that so people can click on the times and go to that portion of the video. Most people don't read the description. Sorry for the copy and paste.

It makes it easier for people on mobile too. I always check the description, but you can't click on timestamps in the description when you're on mobile.

It’s no problem man and that is for making it, but wow. If people watching a video about hard work are too lazy to click a button I think they might not make it haha

i guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

@Callan Bentlee Instablaster :)

got that too, lost 12lbs in a week, felt like shit for another week at the gym

Thank you but all of the time stamps are already in the description

I wish I did man, but thank you!

I second a podcast.

Thanks for watching it!

I can row 235 for reps but not bench 220 for reps😭

I have heard that you should be able to row at least as much as bench but better to be able to row 20% more.

@@travisellison7098 I keep hearing big back = big bench, so I have been hitting rows accordingly. at least back fills up the shirt lol

How tf is that even possible

I bench 235lbs 5 reps. Deadlift is 300 squat is 220lb 15 reps. I row 80lb dumbells I can chin up 125lbs. Its weird

XL shirt. Those dudes are going for the girls small.

That is so cold here brother! I am honored to be part of your journey

Jay C the below the knee rack pull, starting right at your sticking point, is a common exercise. Even the starting strength people recommend it for overload and training the lockout. This is also common in strongman. You see a kind of rack pull done with the Wagon wheels

In my mind a rack pull is 13” or18” brother. I have never done a rack pull above the knee in my life. I would find that largely a waste of time for the most part when just dropping it a few inches makes it much better

word. I can out back bros but get out pressed and flat benched all day

Maybe take a look at your form? After watching Brian's videos on benching I started using my lats and my quads a lot more when benching. A lot of the same muscles used when rowing are used for benching too, so if you are strong in one you should be strong in the other.

@@heartbeatpoetry7704 I'm fairly critical of my bench form as despite struggling with it I love to bench and have studied a lot videos from Brian, Dave Tate/elitefts and others trying to better it. I definitely use a lot of back and leg drive because those areas are strong points for me, I appreciate the input though and will continue to critique my form! Also my question is not specifically just bench but for pressing strength on a whole, what are some strategies a person can implement to bring up their raw pressing strength given they have a strong back, because as you said usually if you are strong in one you are strong in the other.

Make sure you do those curls in the power rack too

No man. If I could I would but you can’t prove where someone was infected with something

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Bummer.

Reps brother. You need to take the time to learn your body. The j Ferber can’t teach you that

Brian Alsruhe Alrighty , thanks !

So gay frate

@@hayanradwan6100 Cum zici tu, frate

Yeah! I love them. Since the last months I only train Muscle Snatch (also great for upper back), Snatch Grip High Pulls, Zercher Squats as main movements. Push-Ups (make them as hard, that you are toasted by the 10th rep - either through TUT or just maximum concentration on full body contraction), Inverted Rows (same as Push-ups) and Atlas Stone Carries are secondary Movements. That really works for me. My Back looks good and I get stronger each time.

@@Johnjay82 I literally just started doing snatch grip high pulls last night. I wanted to build a bigger back, and strongerbyscience said snatch high pulls, deadlifts, high-block deadlifts, rack pulls, and full control on heavy shrugs.

@@JoshuaKevinPerry I do High Pulls since 4 years (on/off) now. They are great for Shoulders (train the medial delts too), traps and upper backs in general. I don´t do deadlifts anymore because I start the High Pulls and Muscle Snatch from the bottom - so it´s like high volume deadlifts. I think it´s better to focus on only a few exercises and get good at them. With Inv. Rows (also called bodyweight rows) in different grips, Muscle Snatches, Zercher Squats and Atlas Stones my back is fried. I train for the 7th year now and since last year I think I finally understood how to train my back properly. Concentration on full body tension with the Inverted Rows (and different grips) was far better than trying to put on more weight with (for example) Bent Over Rows. With everything else -> more weight, not to much volume but higher training frequency. And: Don´t underestimate Inverted Rows. They are always put as a "beginner" exercise, but they are my main staple for back training (I see them as secondary because I don´t try to do them with more weight, sets oder reps - but with more and better contraction). For me they are better than pull-ups. Also Push-Ups are great. I think that Paul Chek (if I remember correctly) said it best: "I don´t want to learn from the guy who can do 100 push ups but from the one who does them as hard that he can´t do more than 10." - That´s how I try to handle Inv Rows and Push-Ups - without doing exotic things like planches (ok, I do pseudo planche Push-Ups as a finisher often, but you get the idea). But -> there are no "best" exercises or secret tips. Try things out - keep what works best and ditch what doesn´t .

My Mistake: It was Steve Maxwell on London Real, not Paul Chek: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8dghch8y9nedYE.html

@@JoshuaKevinPerry When you say strongerbyscience you mean Greg Nuckols? Where did he say that?

Doing my best brother! Thank you!

Then you need to learn how to use your back brother. It’s not like this is an impossible thing. Take the time to learn it and you will be glad you did. If you keep doing it the way you are doing it, you will run into injury

It swam through my skin when j was doing stuff in counter terrorism. Wasn’t something I ate

@@anomuumnekilpkonn4335 I wouldn't say ego is the problem. Even when doing a lat pull down where I can feel my back being used, my biceps exhaust first 😂

Raigo Pevgonen Didn’t watch the video?

@@DrewLSsix yeah of course, he talks a lot about doing heavy compound movements often. I do this. The problem I'm having is that my biceps are a weak link, which happen to be used in basically all pull movements. So I've been trying to strengthen them, however it doesn't seem to be working. And I am curious if anyone has any tips

Gavin Russell I had the same issue and it took months to fix. Drop the weight REALLY light, like the barbell, and really focus on pulling with your elbows, and do like 20 reps to feel your back working. Slowly keep ramping up weight in this same workout just keep focusing on pulling with your elbows. Keep doing it until you don’t have to worry about it. Once I started doing this, it took 2 weeks before I could warm up normally and not even think about it

Rows and pull downs use alot of biceps especially with a supinated grip but it doesn't take much bicep to do carries, stiff arm pull downs and deadlifts. Also biceps heal faster then back muscle train back more often
