I have one important question folks.
Do you have to squeeze/tighten your legs/butt in ANY back movement you do while exercising
Because when i do so:
Squeeze my whole back side leg to top:
1. I feel the reps easier, but have hard time to mind- muscle and feel my back so good, because literally my whole back side head to toe is engaged, in reps they go like 7-8 clean top to full bottom, while as opposed:
2. If i leave my legs dead weight hanging from a pull up bar say,
i feel my back super good, reps are way harder, because it feels like I've attached an extra weight on my waist and i fatigue quicker, and in reps i can go top 4 - 5 max.
Anyway, is it healthier and better to tighten my legs as well In ANY back movement
Lat pulldown has legs secured in the machine for example, thats why I'm wondering.
Thank you for your time, effort and reply!
Stay healthy y'all! :)

I actually like that alternative to the barbell row. I blew my back out several years ago and since then I can’t barbell row, squat or deadlift without discomfort. Kills me as squats and deads were my favorite exercises which I was quite strong at. You’re always advocating the importance of deadlifts but for someone in my condition I’ve had to completely do without them and I’m happy that my back is still my best feature even without deadliftsthough I do miss them very much. (Yes, I have tried them here and there over the years but always get discomfort or straight up pull my back out again - and I know HOW to do them right, just can’t handle the motion.

I started watching your videos about two years ago and Jessie has been a real inspiration. I have tried dead lifting and it just isn't working for me though. When I started I was 52 yrs old and 250 lbs, I had lost 40 lbs on my own in the previous year, now I'm 54 and 200 lbs and pretty jacked looking at 6 feet tall. I can do 11 pull ups in a row, I do archer pushup, calf raises with 450 lbs three sets of 12. bench 240 for three sets of 10, pretty strong. Any deadlift results in back pain that takes days to recover from even an empbar.

Should I combine deadlift with back (upper body) day or leg day, so that it is more unlikely for me to pass out I'm feeling a bit dizzy after deadlift when I do nothing but deadlift on that day, so I assume if I combine it with back or leg day, it may be worse. I know I'm not in shape, which is probably why I have this issue, but. until I fix myself, the answer could help a lot.

Can they design some of the equipment properly so guys over 6’ with long arms can get a full stretch without repositioning ourselves every rep It’s annoying tbh. I have to lean way back on lat pull down machines to get a full stretch without the stack coming to a rest. I’ve switched to weighted pull-ups and chin-ups a lot of the time.

Preexhaustion has poor scientific evidence. in fact it shows just the opposite. If you fatigue the muscles before the the main excercise, you have less strength left to push hard. The other way around, drop sets is a better way to stimulate muscle growth. Keep it up Jeff, you are doing a very good job

Great clip Jeff. At last a video showing how Jesse's physique is just as impressive as Jeffs. So now is the time for that arm wrestle challenge Jesse. Jeff's arms are still more impressive but the guy with the biggest biceps doesnt always win at arm wrestling. love you guys

1 thing i like doing with the lat pull at 3: 03 is to use a long rope or strap and try and get as far back as possible at least for me when i do this i feel it in the lats. rear delts and tris, so i will use this version as my last exercise but go for 3x12-15

I didn't finish the vid, mike mentzer said that close grip palms up pull down are the best for back then bent over rows and deadlift not pull ups or lat pulldown because of limit activation of back due to stretch of shoulder girdle

1. 5 was the optimal for lat pulldowns and declared by science before now this. They are right. The longer you’re in the game the more everything will come full circle. This is why I don’t trust these soft science researches.

With deadlifts, I hit my kneecaps with the bar, it really hurts and I'm afraid I'm going to damage them, especially on the way down. How can I avoid this Thanks, been watching for years now, love you guys.

I think one component you’re not mentioning is focusing on the muscles you wish to exercise. In other words, squeezing your back muscles together as you pull down rather than relying on bicep assistance.

I thought Jesse’s comments were a joke at 1st - but I like them as the quick lil reminders. But the stache has got to go! I can’t take anybody seriously who looks like that!

Jeff Cavaliere is a freaking dog. He doesn't let social media children shape his views of fitness. He knows what he's about. And he's jacked as crap. Keep up the great work, man.

Hey Jeff, as always - great contents. I was also wondering if you would ever look at hyrox competition and share some tips about it. I am sure few of us will benefit from that.

Farmer carries are a staple of the strongest men in the world. I completely agree. I did notice some of the strongest men also swear by T-bar and the single arm DB row(Kroc rows.

Huh. Great video, and great progress, Jesse. Thanks for sharing your experience. I have also found corrective work to underlie all of the other gains I've made. Thanks for this.

No jesse, don't make self-deprecating jokes or comments. What is the spirit of the devil that tells you to do that. You deserve more respect than what you're giving yourself

Nice video again, love to hear your view on bulking for building muscles. Of course Jeff is super lean but does that mean he will leave some potential for muscle grow

No exercise is wrong. You can say that one is more effective than the other. With slight adjustments of grips you can target different area of the same muscle.
