re thinking; -how does the back relate to the bench press? - Well, engagement of the lats is key to benching because it allows you to stay tight and keep your shoulders back and down, which will allow you to press the weight safely and more efficiently. So, how do you train the back in order to increase your bench press? One of the best accessory exercises was demonstrated by my good friend KC Mitchell, aka the 1 Legged Monster, is the lean back pulldown. But what if you don-t have a lat pulldown machine? Well, you-re in luck! The back exercise that will help get you a bigger bench press is actually a simple bodyweight exercise that I have included in just about all of my ATHLEAN-X programs; the inverted row. However, it-s not just the exercise you need to be aware of, but it-s HOW you perform the exercise that matters the most. Why? Because if you perform the exercise the wrong way, then you are leaving all of its benefits on the table. However, with a slight tweak, not only do we make the exercise more effective, but it begins to have major carry over to other lifts; in this case, the bench press. So, if we are going to perform the exercise correctly in order to increase how much you can bench press, we also need to understand where we can go wrong. The problem with the way that the inverted row is commonly performed is that people will often keep a hollow body as they bring themselves up to the bar. While you may be able to perform more reps doing the exercises this way, you-re not going to get nearly as much benefit as you could. Like I said before, by performing the inverted row incorrectly (in this case, with a hollow body) you are missing out on the maximum potential gains you can get from the exercise as well as throwing away any carryover to increasing your bench press. How do you perform the inverted row correctly that will have the most impact when you are benching? When you bring your body up towards the bar, you want to stick your chest out and essentially reach for the bar with your chest. This will allow

After watching alot of bodybuilder content Jeff almost looks skinny as raymond or what the plastic skeleton is called.
I think he lost some size over the last year maybe also.
Jeff is very lean I get it. That's his usp. I want my physique to be around 10 percent body fat and a bit more mass if possible. I will do my best. Glad I learned alot here and still learning. Just saying. Size is always in relation to something. Compared to Jessy or the average Joe schmuck Jeff is huge of course and all natural and midforty.

Hi Jeff! Big question here- I-m on month 2 of Inferno Size and absolutely loving it. In about 40 days, I-ve lost 18 pounds; 5-11, now 188 from 206. My question is: what do I do next to maintain the gains I-ve put on after I complete this program? Do I restart the program with the newly added gains, and climb up the ladder again, or do I restart at a certain part of the program after conditioning the -fundamentals-? Hope you respond! Thanks again for the incredible material. - Morgan

Perfect timing, with a year out of the gym and now working with a less than ideal home gym I've gotten tendentious from benching press. I've also noticed that with my home set up I struggle to keep my back tight at the bottom of the press.
I'll be re-adding inverted rowing to my workouts as well as updating my bench technique!
Love these informative vids, Jeff. Thanks for the years of physical fitness assistance

Jeff I often hear from doctors that u don't need so much protein (1g per pound bodyweight) to build muscle because most of the protein turns into glucose. They say that just a few grams(7 to 8g) are just enough to build muscle. It would be helpful if you could clarify that in one of ur videos and also It would be helpful if u could make a video on nuclei overload muscle hypertrophy.

I have jus learned that the conventional exercise were good but not that effective. and then calisthenics came in body weight exercises that can build muscle and strength and now people like Jeff himself doing all these movements in his video or programs. I do cali (body weight) and I so so happy to see that people are involving cali to there routein for much results --

Awesome video you guys! I'm an older dude. Been working out my entire life, but I've had to dial things back. I don't go near as heavy anymore due to risk of injury. I just try to go heavy enough in my weight training workouts to strengthen my joints and give my muscles a bump. What do you recommend?

I think I first heard this -row the bar to your chest- idea from Brian Alsruhe and I've been using it since. Felt weird at first (sort of pushing and pulling simultaneously, but it's feels so stable and secure it's great. Thanks for explaining it well, especially the ribcage reaching.

Jeff, are you going to do more of your Worst/Better/Better Still/Almost Best/Best series? I've found the chest and triceps ones really useful and I'd like to see how you rank some back and leg exercises, especially the different variations of lunges/split squats.
reply

Hey jeff! Can you do a video on how to -feel- the bench, since some ppl arent doing the exercise cus they arent -feeling- the muscles work- with the barbell bench
im sure a lot of ppl would watch your video talking about that problem(not feeling the bench press)

reply

I'm sure this exercise is really beneficial but i guarantee that more than half of the people that watch this video won't do this exercise because frankly it looks sort of ridiculous and people might have fear of being judged for doing this haha.
