BRUTAL PULL WORKOUT | Torn Biceps and All!

One of the things I did way too much of early on was just kept doing more and more reps withoutadding weight to the pull-ups. So I got happy with going from 10 to 15 to 18 to 25 and so onand so forth but this is still a great mass building exercise if you remember to add theweight and kicks my ass every single time I do it.Kind of like to do that two and through failure concept.

So go to failure on the weighted version.I’m always going to have some left in the tank for a few more reps of just bodyweight.So why not utilize them?Again, I think when you’re trying to force muscle growth, especially at my age, you wantto use some techniques that are not just the ordinary run of the mill, do a drop set, push

yourself a little further than you would with just that normal one set failure.Hey, can I ask you a question though?What’s up?What kind of gym are you training in?What do you mean?

I mean, did you check behind you?Oh boy.Oh boy.Is this Gym Shark USA?What is this?

What gym are we training in?Can we see this, please?Can we see this?I guess it’s been a long time.I haven’t been in a gym since social media entered into the equation.

Holy cow.So one of the things I love to do is some form of a chest supported row.This particular machine is called the humbler.see why in a second. Obviously what I like about this is it takes the low back out of it so I canreally focus on getting a good lat contraction and depending upon where I bring my arms, whether

they’re high and work more of the upper back and rear delts, if I bring it a little bit closer intomy sides work more than my lats.I’m going to be using much lighter weight on this one because I’m not as strong as Jeff,but I’m going to give it my best shot.See what happens here.

Successfully humbled.So you can also just mix it up.So instead of always going with the elbows tight, lat focus approach, just flare thoseelbows out wide, get more of that upper back, rear delt development. Remember, you’re trainingyour back, trying to build your whole back. You don’t have to discriminate and just isolate your

focus to just one area. Okay. Let go. Let go. Let go. That’s it. And having Jesse around is alwaysnice for a few extra force reps, which is something that I definitely had taken forgranted because training in my own gym for a long time, I don’t have anybody else aroundto help with those because I train late at night.I don’t even train during the day when I have access to Jesse.

It’s such an underappreciated part of training harder is having someone that can actuallypush you a little further than what you normally would do.The next lat pulldowns, obviously, tons of different ways to do this.Typically in a pull workout I’d like to go with an underhand version, right, so I canget biceps and back together.

But I’ve got a little bit of a bicep issue, a tear going on right now, so I use a barlike this.So I’m going to be able to get a more neutral position, right.Instead of having to be fully supinated, I’ll be able to get somewhat neutral, but I’llbe able to still maintain somewhat of a close position here so I can still work my back,

my mid-back.And again, I mentioned the bicep, so those I haven’t seen the video before, but you cansee this giant gap in here now because the tendon tore off distally here.Obviously any exercise where I’m fully supinated causes a bit of a problem.My strength has dropped quite a bit.

It’s still kind of hanging on by a thread, so I try to be careful with it, but it’s feelinggood and so I just have to be careful.your body.I’ll do it again.Fight that negative on the way up.

That’s good.Dude, that sucks.Come on.There you go.You got two more.

A little drop set.Always usually at least on that last set of the exercise.So now I’m doing just typical standing dumbbell curls.But what I do is I use a heavier weight in my left hand than I do in my right hand becauseof that torn bicep.

So I’m going to grab a 45 and about 10% less.So around a 35.And the whole concept behind it is I’m just trying to not make my left arm a slave tomy right arm.Just because the right arm is limited at the moment doesn’t mean that I have to make the

left arm do the same load.I just accommodate for where the tear is.And I’ve been a little bit less likely to push all the way to failure.Trying to be smart, but at the same time get back in the groove again with my arm.So I don’t have a torn bicep, so I’m going to be using the same weight in both hands

like a normal person.Oh boy.I honestly feel like they’re closing in like this.I feel like they’re starting to rise up on their own.That’s it.

That’s it.That’s it.Whew.Yeah, I’m feeling that.Feeling that.

To kind of compliment for pull, I want to get a little bit off the biceps.That’s just because of a little overload on my biceps.But you also have to work the brachialis.So a lot of people will do a hammer curl just in this neutral position here.But you’re still leaving the biceps contributing a pretty good amount there because you’re

in that neutral position and it’s supposed to be fully pronated.So if I go fully pronated like this, then I can get more of the focus onto that brachialisand brachioradialis.And no issues for me on my bicep at all with that.Again, by getting my body step out of it, by pronating, I don’t have that weakness that

I have when I get in that supinated position.My happy place is a gym full of hot bombs all looking for Jesse.What happens when they’re not interested in you?My heart breaks.I’ll put these away for you.

Thank you.So no pull workout ends without a face pull.You guys know how much I love it.Now let me show you something though.See one rope here isn’t going to cut it.

It’s going to force my arms to be at that angle when instead I want them to get outif I can to that 90 degrees.So what I need to do is hook up two ropes.And there’s nobody using the other rope at the moment so I’m not pissing anybody off.I can finish way wider and in that 90-degree position and get in there close to my face.

The mentality here, as always, is 15 sets of one.If I’m going to do 15 reps, I want 15 quality reps.I like to just squeeze the contraction, make sure I’m doing it right, make sure that myhands are beating my elbows to the back.My elbows are leading, that means I’m going into internal rotation.

If I go back and the hands beat the elbows back, that means I’m in external rotationand I’m working all the muscles that I want to be in this exercise.This is not a heavyweight exercise.This is all about proper form and execution.Let’s go. We’re working here.

I’m looking at pictures of dogs, dude.Dogs. He says dogs. Look, come here.Dogs or what?Bro, it’s your set, not my set.I’m just trying to make sure you stay focused.

I’m focused, all right?I’m locked in. This is my motivation right here.You don’t seem so focused.Hey Jeff, keep a lookout for me.I’m watching, I’m watching.

He’s watching.Yeah, sir, it’s him, it’s his fault.He took the ropes.No, no, it’s him.Yes, it’s him.

Of course, the only thing I could do too is the overhead raise part that Iadd sometimes. And all I’m really looking to do here is again, now I have to hold this contractionfor even longer as I go up overhead, get the lower traps involved, come down, and out again.So, it’s just a way to make what’s already painful more painful.And I try not to give up any reps. Even though this is one of those corrective exercises,

lighter later in the workout. Treat it with the same seriousness as you would your biggerexercises to start. You’re up.Where’s your happy place?Oh, hot moms. Hot moms. Oh, why? Oh my God.Oh my God.

Do me a favor?Yeah.Next time we come,make sure that Gymshark dudes aren’t here.I mean, it’s nothing personal.

It’s just-I’m not in control of that.Literally, if I’m trying to get in that area,there’s too many posing men there.That’s all.

Hey guys, if you’re looking forthe last time I was actually here,check out this chest workou
