I've always initiated all of my pulls -- _seated-cable row. pull-downs. one-arm-rows_ -- with the shoulder-girdle _FIRST. _ That shoulder-mobility is important. I thought that as long as the movement wasn't accomplished through a hunched shoulder, that it wouldn't be detrimental. Meaning, shoulders _REMAINING_ rounded-forward throughout the row. So long as I'm not using this method to generate momentum, then I see it as nothing but a positive.

First comment On a serious note, face pulls have really helped me with my Posture issues and upper body stability. This is coming from doing extensive Pushup routine which I did not balance well with enough pulling excercises, and my shouder health suffered. I understand the simplicity and effectiveness of facepulls Jeff has always routed for. Simple is not equal to easy ofc.

After 5 years of weight training I came to the conclusion that the best excersises are the ones that I like to do (as long as they are good excercises in the first place. People tend to get obsessed with things that are THE best but that is, first of all, subjective to each individual and in the long run you will get more benefit from the plan that gets you excited to come back to the gym and never skip a day.

Jeff, please do a video on Subscapular strains/inflammation, typical symptoms of this type of strain and your recommendations on working around it, the do's and don'ts of this and even what to typically expect for recovery (I know it's different person to person. You have done a lot of great rotator cuff muscle videos but I was looking for a Subscapularis specific one. Thanks!

In most gyms I've been too, using two ropes to do Face Pulls effectively is a big no go. There are often not enough ropes and I don't think it's good etiquette to do so. I feel like a complete asshole using two, and resistance bands are often lacking as well. And this is why I don't do face pulls, while using one rope is not giving me the proper form either.

I think people jumped on long length partials way too quickly. I think the biggest takeaway is to do full range of motion, make sure you’re not cutting out the stretch of the movement. There are a ton of machines and exercises that don’t let you get a full stretch and those have been completely removed from my routine or modified to allow a full stretch.

I need help with facepull alternatives! don't have a pulley machine, nor are my exercise bands effective.
tried variations with dumbbells but I don't think my form is conducive to the proper exercise, it just doesn't feel as good as a regular rope face pull now that I'm training from home: (

Jeff has done more than enough for the workout community's benefit over the years. I know he likes to practice what he preaches and stay lean AF to sell his brand, but man has earned another slice or 10 of carrot cake. ( I heard one time he had an extra slice, then referred to it as a bulk)

Hi guys any good advice to train the teres major other than lat pulldowns and pull ups. I have a thorn labrum and a hill sach lesion on my humerus so vertical pulling that requires my hands to be above my head puts my shoulder in a very vulnerable position.

OMG - long length partials. People have been doing partials forever. But they also do full range of motion. It’s the balance that matters most. Try telling somebody to do a bunch squat partials and then do a full range and see what happens.

Reminds me of Karate Kid. If you try to skip the fundamentals you end up with a worse end result. Not every exercise is the best but they have important foundational benefits that benefit the routine as a whole.

Damn, Jessie has a Back now! Awesome Job Bro!
Also, I'm blown away by how many 'thumbs ups' were added during watching this video!
Went from 160 to well over 700! What a following! Keep it up!

This is why I support Jeff.
Bodybuilding can be cool an all, but if you noticed that if you put a gymnast next to a bodybuilder the gymnast has way more athleticism than a bodybuilder any day.

It surprises me how many people don’t distinguish the brain from the mind. The brain responds to thoughts generated by the mind, thoughts and mental activity don’t originate in the brain.

Used to use 2 ropes at the gym, one went missing, it got replaced but the new one feels shorter. Had to actually buy my own long rope, definitely a worthy investment though

I DO NOT like Jesse's posture when performing his deadlifts. Jeff talks about longevity but I am worried about Jesse's back's longevity when seeing him performing them. .

Jeff Cavalier is the reason why the rope extensions are always hard to find at the gym. I really appreciate your advice about using 2 ropes. (Triceps also)
