Excellent way to stretch lats during a pullup is to raise your knees. You don't have to lower yourself and disengage your lats that way, the raised knees feels like it stretches your lats x2 or x3 time more. You do way less reps that way too.
Do this on every rep, and when you fail you jump yourself up and hold yourself at the top of the pullup in an isometric hold with your knees raised. You'll be so pumped you feel like those chicken wing/fake lat walking around guys.

Question: Hey Ryan tried you 100 rep squat, don't have a bar at home so used a weight vest 20kg to simulate the bar, was difficult but not -piss blood- difficult as you might say. Just wondering is the weight vest a poor substitute for a bar? or is it a matter I need to get the reps done in a faster time, was able to do it under 5 mins, or put more weight on?

The biggest difference you can make is pulling your shoulder blades down BEFORE you initiate any type of pulling movement. The scapula is the epicenter of all upper body movements. If you're doing a dead hang at the start of pull ups, your biceps take over. If you start from an active hang, your lats will do a majority of the work.
Simple, easy fix.

Ive been training now for 6 months and I've struggled to feel my lats when doing the lat pull down. I saw this video yesterday and used your tip about not disengageing the last and of my god my lats where on fire in todays session!
This has been the first time in 6 months where I've actually felt my lats and not just my biceps and forearms!

How about an open and frank discussion on TRT, like dosage and such? Still seems to be a taboo subject and let-s be honest with ourselves here, a lot of guys have it to thank for their gains. I see nothing wrong with it, just want more information from someone that clearly knows a lot about it.

Mr Humiston the best way to work the lats is a rowing motion either pulling up to down or down to up elbows bent 90 degrees keeping them bent like an hinge and not involve biceps. A good machine also is an high row machine from top to down or a nautilus pull over. Thank you for your work.

Are those stretch marks on the side of your shoulder or chest hair that escaped? If stretch marks, that means you built your muscles fast, so I should trust you, if chest hair, well, I should also trust you, it means your chest is growing fast and your chest hair is going to your shoulders

Hi Ryan. Have you ever tried to perform lat pulldowns with a pair of abs straps as attachment? I love this excercise which totally removes biceps and grip out of the equation, somehow similar to a Nautilus lat pulldown machine.

It looks like you are duplicating the movement path of the pullover machines. Especially with the elbows locked. I got a chance to try one of those once, and it really tore up my lats, but you can barely find them anywhere.

I-d love a few videos on being over 50. Having had 30plus years of weights but find the recovery harder, but still want to train to maintain but also still get some growth and development. And so maybe way to train smartse
