My Brother in Christ, you are literally the Man who gave rise to the kneeling Pull-down.

Love your work Jeff

Don't ever stop making content. The community needs people like you. Easily digestible, entertaining, effective, and accurate information presented without bias. It's almost unprecedented and so refreshing.

Bruh who is skipping lat pulldowns? We have 3 in my gym and they're always taken. Meanwhile I almost never see the one arm pulldown

My shoulders: "You aint' doing deficit pushups."

One arm kneeling lat pulldown is a blessing for me since I had a massive lat imbalance. My lats also bursted in size ever since I switched to it

Calf raises is the most underrated movement in my opinion. Everyone says that calves are mostly genetic, but anyone can still train them. They also say that smaller calves are better anyways because lower calf insertions are better for explosive speed and verticals, but training them is still beneficial and supplementary. Lastly, they say that calves are unaesthetic, but lean or jacked bodies look incomplete without adequate calves.

Underrated exercises can vary depending on individual goals and preferences, but some exercises are often overlooked in favor of more popular movements. Here are a few underrated exercises that can provide great benefits:

1. **Single-Leg Exercises**: Movements like single-leg squats, lunges, step-ups, and single-leg deadlifts can help improve balance, stability, and address muscle imbalances between the left and right sides of the body.

2. **Hip Thrusts**: Hip thrusts are excellent for targeting the glutes, which are often underdeveloped in many individuals. Strong glutes can help improve overall lower body strength and power.

3. **Farmers Walk**: This exercise involves walking while carrying heavy weights in each hand. It's great for building grip strength, improving core stability, and enhancing overall functional strength.

4. **Face Pulls**: Face pulls are a fantastic exercise for strengthening the rear delts and upper back, which are crucial for shoulder health and posture. Many people neglect these muscles in their training.

5. **Planks Variations**: While planks are popular, variations like side planks, plank with leg lifts, and plank with arm raises are often overlooked. These variations can help target different areas of the core and improve stability.

6. **Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups**: While not exactly underrated, these exercises are sometimes skipped due to their difficulty. Pull-ups and chin-ups are fantastic for developing upper body strength, especially the back and arms.

7. **Turkish Get-Ups**: This full-body exercise challenges stability, mobility, and strength. It's a great movement for overall functional fitness and can help improve coordination.

Remember, the best workout routine is one that is well-rounded and includes a variety of exercises to target different muscle groups and movement patterns. It's essential to listen to your body, set realistic goals, and work on exercises that align with your fitness objectives.

I like how this tutorial also covers all types of exercise variations.

Push, Pull, Arm, and Leg.

as for the pushups. i can get like 40-50 clean pushups in a set. but when i do it using proper TUT(time under tension) promise you im only getting about 8-12. just an example:4-2-0. 4 seconds down, 2 second hold, 0 seconds up meaning burst upwards

[christianblair]

Pushups are really insane at how fast they can make you look ''fit'' compared to other exercises. Doing daily 100 pushups all the way to failure, and in a month you can see a change in your triceps, shoulders, and chest.

I always struggle to get real stimulation in my quads when squatting. I changed to smith squats a couple months ago and the difference is definitely noticeable
