Wait, a training video that taught me a cue I wasn't aware of after 13 years of lifting? Instantly subscribed.

Been training 49 years BB and Powerlifting. This is probably the best channel I’ve come across with great info, no ego or BS, and no crappy language. Great job.

fucking hell this is gold john jewett. as a begginer i could not stop thinking about if and how i should prioritize doing supposedly GOATed exercises over actually feeling mind muscle connection on your lifts. you the first one i heard to say "following lifts that give the best connection" out loud... even though it seems obvious, maybe we dont realize it until someone big as fuck actually says it... thank you man you the best, great video aside from that as well

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOLNTIodS5M&t=133">2:13</a> - This is the BEST lat-activation advise I've heard so far. That "tension drop-off" is exactly why even calisthenics athletes or "street lifters" can develop huge backs while doing a lot of shorter range of motion reps (think Jesse Pawlak, etc.). The ROM looks different for everyone due to individual biomechanical structures or anthropometries so go with what feels right for you tension-wise and don't worry too much about that extra few inches down-bottom at the expense of impinging your shoulders and losing that TUT on the lats.

Hammer strength high row has been the best thing for my lats. Love it

I've been arguing a more natural pulldown motion forever but get yelled at for not going wide af when it just doesn't seem appropriate for the lat muscle.<br>Super glad I can show this video to everyone now 🤣

Your explanations and form cues are fantastic. This has vastly improved my lat training. I now prefer using my functional trainer over my lat pulldown/low row for lats. A couple of huge benefits for me are less rear Delt and biceps involvement using the setups you showed. <br><br>My lat tower/low row machine still gets a lot of use for other areas like using the high pull for cable crunch and the low row for lying shrugs and back extension but not so much for lats or mid back anymore.
