MONTHLY COACHING WITH JOE (Garage/home style workouts)

To the drug enhanced athletes these little details may not make a huge difference but to a natural bodybuilder these tips are game changers. Joe promotes the importance of positioning and how to effectively apply it.

the wrappy aroundy cue when training back and adding better bracing to some of my movements has helped tremendously thank you and hope to see this channel grow it deserves it

[migch]

This is the BEST lats explanation on internet so far to me! ❤❤❤❤

[beardedtyke]

Been waiting for this dude 👍👍. I really struggle with low lat growth, recruitment, best exercises, movement patterns. Awesome 🔥

[HannahGaneganergains]

This video is literally amazing!! Its honestly one of the most helpful things I've ever watched! thank you so much!!

[CarLos-ehfh]

I’ve been pulling my arms straight back instead of wrapping it around. Thanks coach. Gonna go try these pro tips now!

The lower or iliac division of the lats can be targeted quite well and biased significantly. It attaches to the iliac crest and lower ribs giving it a significantly different line of pull, rom, and orientation in respect to the rib cage. The argument for the pecs applies to the lats without having to go behind the body because 1- the insertion point does go posterior, but 2 because the rib cage acts as a fulcrum the fibers are able to act in a sagittal humeral extension while still having a respective inferior-superior force on the humerus. We have been able to bring these specific fibers up in many people using pulldowns that target the illiac fibers directly. Additionally the most upper thoracic fibers have a upward pull and are as different as the clavicular and costal pec . To say you can target specific pecs and not lats, would go against the mechanics, the data, and our real world observations and anecdotes. In your pulldowns where you are utilizing the side bend, this will prevent you from targeting those iliac fibers well which is maybe why you have this opinion. Happy to discuss - Kassem

I've been training for almost 2 years and couldn't feel any pump or soreness iny lats... only in the teres and traps and rear delts.
I made gans in my lats, but these are obviously noobie gains, so I decided to finally try something new, and I bumped into a video from John Meadows where he shows us the One-Arm BB row and holyyy cow IT HELPED ME A LOT. It put a much higher sretch on my whole back and I had to play around with my feet placement to feel the lower lats too, and finally, I GOT LAT PUMP.
It depends on person if you need to place your legs forward or backwards, also experimenting with your hands' pulling direction as you said, but once you feel the pump in the right place, you will know its working!

[johntrains]

Wow. There's so much useful info. The point that, going as far back as you can is more upper back then lat really clicked w me cause I used to do that but I almost never felt my lat doing it.

everybody has the "secret", the "number one", the best", etc. most of them are merely a variation of "stuff we've done for decades. follow the fibers to determine the action. however i did enjoy the anatomy discussion. and he did a good job of presenting his views. being a competitive swimmer, the teres is a very important muscle, inspite of it'sd smaller size.

[JustenHarden]

Appreciate the realistic info + tips! I like the way you explain the biomechanics of it. Got yourself a new sub 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[khllati]

just you becoming serious about youtube, make my training more productive and high quality, Thanks

[adamkinglive]

i swear back is the hardest thing for me to even connect to on a mind muscle connection basis. some days are great some days i feel like im lost. i just need 2 sets of full back workouts and id be set

[BodyOpt]

"tell a friend who wants lower lats"! love that 🤣

[matusmasir]

I LOVE.. literally this nerd Not long ago, I apply the T = r x F into my training and the result are outstanding ... rly looking at my training and the time in the gym and exercise choice more from a physicist standpoint and less from an average Joe perspective.... understanding training of a given muscle in different lengths, understanding the moment arm and the force vector in a given machines or exercises in general automatically cut out the garbage ones and show better options.... not to mention that the thinking how to make the garbage one better one is extremely funny for me .... sometimes everybody in the gym is looking what the hell am I doing, but I know my sh*t....my favourite is Barbell Hip thrust with low pulley attachment connected to the bar ... Top position is overload by the weight on the bar while low (the stretched one), which lose Torque coz of moment arm (if only bar is used), is overload by the low pulley attachment and its load ....

[catlover]

This is the best video on the topic I have come across so far. Thank U for the content.

[TheOriginalFayari]

The way I do it is that I try putting my elbows into my back pockets. Literally, no way to do it without engaging your lats.

[BuckingHorse-Bull]

I use the cue of bringing my elbows and toward the bullseyes he mentions at 9:00

[calebswartzpt]

A back training video not based on the concept of thickness and width movements. It’s like this anatomy stuff kinda makes sense. Who would of thought?

[christosskouras]

The best mindset when it comes to bodybuilding is yours, Very specific and scientific info's keep it up !!
