IMPORTANT INFO🚨🚨BICEPS 🚨🚨yes they activate & contract, but it doesn’t mean they’re what is truly MOVING the load. It’s similar with your hamstrings in a squat. Since they simultaneously being lengthened and shortened, they are not getting a good growth stimulus. They will be used, but not enough that I would consider them a “target”. Just do your curls 🤝

Back — This video is my best attempt to paint a picture of how different grips & handles dictate what muscles you’re training. However, it still falls short. There are other variables that impact what is being targeted (For example: where PEAK RESISTANCE occurs in the exercise - is it heaviest at the top, middle, or end range of motion) Regardless, this will help you understand what’s being trained with standard cable pulldowns 👍🏼 (more on this at the very bottom)

(Biceps Continued)
The statements above assume that pristine form is maintained. That said, if someone pushes to failure and their back musculature fatigues, and in an effort out another rep or two, they begin to over rely on biceps to (sort of) curl the weight into their body at the very bottom — Yes, in that instance I suppose a *newer lifter* could get some bicep growth stimulus. But at that point it’s no longer a pull-down. It’s a set a pulldowns taken to failure with a set of 2 or 3 mutant-half rep curls tacked on to the end (those are likely where many are seeing growth from) At any rate, Everyone would be better off keeping form strict, and doing curls separately. My main objective is to inform you that the underhand pull-down is NOT the best biceps exercises there is under any circumstance (as it is being stated on social media lately - in large part from old Mike Mentzer videos) Hope this helps 🤝

This shi so intense it feels like I’m being briefed for a COD mission

[spikeboy]

The sheer information condensed and done clearly into less than a minute is absolutely masterful and I'm grateful about that.

Bro snuck in a shorts ads and I ain't mad about it

[devanshsanghavi]

Bro I haven't even unlocked these muscles yet

[cosmodash]

I don't think you can find a better, more detailed, visually excellent explanation

[tigerhunter]

"But not the biceps even tho you might feel them" 🤣lol

Bro makes the highest quality short fitness content by far

[r.thomas]

That arms forward vs arms back explanation plus visual at the end was top tier. Super easy to understand. Thank you

[El_Bellota]

The editing is so good because of how defined your back is, real good shi.

[TyphonCH]

Probably one of the best, informative shorts I've ever seen. If you do one like this for every major group you'd be my hero

[biko]

It cannot be understated how helpful it is to highlight the muscles as you name them! Makes it insanely easy to understand as a newcomer. Good stuff man!

Close grip pull-ups absolutely Target the biceps

[jamescoleman]

Idk what this man is talking bout but the underhand grip is an underrated bicep workout.

[WihauWikeepa-gsso]

Mike metzer loves palm up pull downs for biceps.

[mikeandrew]

Been following Davis now for 8 months and fair to say he's externally responsible for my 8 pac and c cup lol. 😂

[zerodood]

Bro my lat gains exploded with the close grip handle. Take that back. 😂

[mackwackenstein]

I really like the visual effect at the end of highlight the back muscles in sequence with the arm movement. Really effective and slick as hell

[forebearing]

Underhand pulldowns target the biceps too

Man, this channel’s completely changed how I work out. Thank you.
