The way Ive always understood it is its good train them all just so one doesnt suffer, but close grip is almost always all round better simply because you have more range of motion. You also develop more range of motion as you practice it. Your gains dont have that privilege with wide grip, that grip isnt really meant to pull high, especially at the beginning. In the beginning, people should mainly stick with overhand medium/close grip.

How does the activation differ depending on where you pull the handle towards your body when you're rowing? I personally always feel more in may traps and upper back if I row higher up closer to my chest and more in my lats if I pull lower down bellow my bellybutton. Is there any data on this? Biomechanically it makes sense as pulling higher involves more shoulder retraction and it starts to feel more like a shrug.

Im in the Army and curious how to burn fat, and stay capable of running 2 miles in 12 minutes without losing muscle mass. How does army cardio hurt your ability to build muscle? I have seen your videos on cardio killing gains but I wouldnt suggest 2-3, 2-3 mile runs a week could kill it as bad when I see guys in my unit who can run and are huge. Please help us in the military prepare for body building when we are out

hey jeff, just wondering. In this video I saw you move your arms from up to down in front of your body and noticed your scapula stay very nice and close to your body. I personally have a decent bit of winging going on, and I feel like this is preventing me from doing pullups/latpulldowns and other back exercises. do you have any tips/video's on how to solve the winging? cus it's annoying the hell out of me.

How do you recommend working these specialization programs into regular programming? Im currently running your upper/lower program, and wondering how to incorporate something like your back hypertrophy program. Are these intended to be their own day, and then fill in the rest of the week with something else? Or do these build on top of say an upper day, or a pull day?

Jeff, I found a nice improvement in my back thickness since I started sumo deadlifting. I know this is more a leg exercise, but my back is changing in such a positive way. Other exercises I do are pulley, pullups, lat machine, facepulls, and rows only for some periods (depends on how busy is my month, I don't always have time to add another back exercise.

I really would like a video on stevia/artificial sweeteners. Im wondering are they bad for you? Can they help you stay slim? So many different pre-workouts/protein powders/energy drinks use them and claim to be zero calorie or zero sugar. What does the research say? Is it okay for us?

Hey Jeff, thanks for all the info you share Is there a reason why you rock forward and back when doing lat pull downs and other exercises? I was always told to not use momentum but at the same time it looks like your technique would be better since you are stretching the muscle more.

Great videoThis is a subject surrounded with so much confusion and misinformation I've noticed this last month how much more I feel my lats while I've incorporated Pendlay rows. You can actually feel the back activation all over even when compared to a standard barbell row.
