When he said he had 28 more technique tuesdays planned I got goosebumps

[trenboloneacetate]

I've been doing pull-ups for almost 4 months now. I could never feel my lats much, it was all in my forearms and biceps. I tried the cue of pulling the bar apart as you go up and I felt an amazing contraction in my lats. Thank you Jeff.

[brister]

Each time "bro-Jeff" shows up on screen, I have a laugh.

[Morfeusm]

All we really need from YouTube is Jeff Nippard and Jeff Cavaliere.
Everything else is redundant

[gabenakanofit]

Lmao at the Invisible Lat Syndrome walk after the common errors

[SubFitness]

It's great to see the pullup so early in this series! It is a very highly valued exercise that is often overlooked in videos by large YouTubers

[Firmly_grasp_it]

No better way to start the new year, other than a technique Tuesday vid

[aroniakenscold]

Watching you over a year now. You still present the most clear and concise videos on multiple subjects without the obnoxious false personalities to try and relate to subscribers. The love of fitness and the need to share valid information comes through in each video. Thanks keep them coming!

[slaughter]

Technique Tuesday is one of the greatest things to come from YouTube Fitness. No one appreciates it enough. Having a complete series of virtually every exercise you need to build muscle and strength is invaluable. If you find the series and trust it, you don’t need to waste time jumping around to a bunch of different videos on form that all have different cues and even different mechanics. Thank you Jeff

[conradjavier]

The production and educational values of these Techniques Tuesdays are AMAZING. Thanks for always providing amazing content for your audience. Cheers mate!

[gabrieljohannson]

The only cat on YouTube who backs up his training with science and 100% technique. Best body building training on YouTube hands down. Worth the subscription alone & his material that you buy f'ing works! Thanks Jeff.

[caseyalanjones]

These tips on form were so helpful for me, particularly leading with the chest. This has immediately helped with shoulder-clicking issues I was experiencing. Thanks Jeff, love your channel.

[chrisw]

these technique videos are really top notch, correcting some long standing form issues! thanks again!

[WadeWilson-]

Been doing pull ups for a while now. I always start my back and biceps workout with pull ups. The results after 8 weeks is quite amazing.
Great video as always. Thank you Jeff

[iamryanlittle]

Yo! The smartest/well-versed my in the business. I always enjoy learning something new from these videos, Jeff. Much love.

[AquariusLifePath_]

Best video I've ever seen covering the pull up: very clear, detailed, and even throws in some studies on the benefits and grip width.

[jonasgrenne]

There's nothing new in these videos for me, yet I still watch most of them. Really says something about the quality. Keep it up Jeff, the work you put in really shows off

[PGalvan]

Just what I needed since I'm coming back to training, thank you a ton.

[xtraOrdinaryAthletes]

These technique Tuesdays are awesome and a much needed addition to YouTube fitness! Love the detail on each of these!
