m going to break down the most popular back exercises to show you the differences between equivalent movements as they relate to the motions performed in the exercises. Beyond that, you-ll see which versions hold certain advantages over the other as well as which exercise you should be swapping in when you only have access to either the bodyweight or free weight version. We start today by looking at the back exercises. This series will eventually cover all of the major muscle groups in the body and arm you with the ability to make smart exercise selections regardless of what environment you-re training in. When you do your back workouts it is helpful to think of the different planes of motion that the back can be trained in to make sure you overlook none of them in your training. First, we look at the the vertical pulling movements. Right away, the bodyweight back exercise that should stand out to you here is the pullup or chinup. Depending on which direction your hands face on the bar will determine which of these you do, however mechanically they are very similar. If you wanted to transfer the pullup or chinup to a free weight exercise in the gym however, the obvious choice would be the lat pulldown. Again, here you can perform this with either an overhand or underhand grip. Keep in mind, when you perform either the chinup or the underhand pulldown, you are getting a heavy involvement of the biceps as well. While the pullup and the traditional pulldown are better at focusing the work on the lats. The biggest difference between the muscle activation of these two different exercise options is the involvement of the core muscles. When performing this back exercise as a free weight lat pulldown, your abs and core don-t work nearly as hard as they do when doing the bodyweight pullup. This is because of the activation of the hip flexors pressing up into the pad to lock yourself into the machine. When the body is suspended on the bar and free to rock and sway, it is the abs that have to contract hard to make sure this doesn-t happen. Next, we look at the horizontal pulling movements. On the free weight side is the classic barbell row. On the bodyweight side is the inverted row. Both of these work the back muscles in the same way in the same plane of movement. That said, there are some distinct differences that you want to be aware of when making your selection. First, the barbell row clearly provides an opportunity

Hey jeff. I'm enjoying the programme A-1, I was just wondering if you have done a video on how to keep your legs straight when raised? I was trying to do heels to the heavens exercise, but i can only do it with my knees bent and even raising my legs off the ground a little I struggle to keep them straight because of the tightness in my legs. Even with someone helping me put my legs up unbent it feels like the muscles are about to rip. How do I get around this or am I going something wrong? Cheers Jeff hope you get back me -

Hey Jeff, I saw your video covering occlusion training. Can I also ask you to do a video about this thing, I keep on stumbling on the web? They call it NUCLEUS OVERLOAD TRAINING, whereas you go daily with light weights for 30 days to 2 months, and have many months of recovery. I'd rather hear it from the experts like you, or if I don't I'll just take it a mere quackery for eternity. But, if you've covered this already, please link me to that vid in a reply. Thank you.

Jeff, I have to say again. you are a lifesaver. I had to go through injuries and lots of pain due to wrong workout (owing to a lot of wrong advice. Since I started following your videos for the past one year, the improvement is drastic. I am free of my shoulder pain, and I can feel myself getting stronger. Those minor tweaks you give, can go a long way. With these videos, its almost as if you are a personal trainer to me. I cannot thank you enough.

Hello Jeff. I've been following your Max Shred program for the last 2 weeks. The program is very intense and I find myself unable to sleep properly because my body feels so stressed and tense. The exercise program is amazing and top notch, especially with the built in recovery and nutrition guide. -
Can you make a video about feeling stressed from a demanding program and how to cope with it?

Thank you for giving out truthful, concise, and good hearted advise for free. People think you only way one can gain value is by becoming filthy rich or having your face plastered on all social media outlets for the sake of attention but, its people like you that make me realize true value comes from discipline, care for others, and drive for educating yourself and others. Thank you Jeff.

Was wondering, seems like my lats are too big (what exercise, and reps would make it look more lean. and I want to see my rhomboids look more muscular too, so what exercises would you recommend for those? -
And do you recommend increasing weight as i strengthen or increase reps. I am going for a more muscular/curvy look, like Erin Stern type look (on stage.

Mr. Jeff Cavalier, I have some shoulder tenderness, rotator cuff issues, how would you recommend I work on my rear delts?
I am an old'school weight lifter gettin a little older and realizing I need to add some science to my weight training and just getting back in it after a few years of traveling and living aloha. Thanks for your time.

Hey Jeff I have a question for you. When standing tall my right shoulder is lower than my left shoulder. I-m trying to see what exercises I can do to help make them even? I-ve been working on rounded shoulders from your last videos that worked for Jessie! I love your content hopefully you can get me in some sort of the right direction

I think a lot of people wanna be married up to one form of exercise. When you should actually do both weights and calisthenics. They both have advantages and disadvantages. But when you combine them, disadvantages go away. Also, Jeff didn't mention this, but get a weighted vest if you wanna overload body weight movements.
