Workout: What did you do today?

[jimmy jazz]

Whars you guys favourite back exercises?

Dumbbell rows from bench for me. With an incline.



You can do them standing up but I am lazy and would rather the bench support me than support myself with my core.

Really pinch at the top and flex the muscles. It's a good one. Sometimes you just agree with exercises and this one is one of mine.

I do dumbbell rows, but I prefer lat cable pulldowns. I feel like I haven't figured the rows out properly because there's usually no noticeable back-DOMS.

What I'd really like is to get both those in during a session, or perhaps swap dumbbell rows for cable rows.

I'd love to be able to do those, but my arms are too long and the stretch is important. I just do barbell rows and pull-ups these days. Something chest supported, to really focus on the back muscles, would be nice but I'm doing just fine without.

I currently do bench and squats with very slow eccentric and pause at the bottom but after watching this I might reconsider.

Assisted dips hits back and shoulders right?

I like assisted dips.

No they train your tris, front delts and pecs.

Just to be sure post the exercise in case you haven't got it mixed up?

[Guybrush]

Oo, dips might be my favourite chest exercise.

I wanted a dip rack for Christmas. My wife got me a wool scarf 😢

just realized I meant to say pullups.

[jimmy jazz]

Yes pullups are a back exercise. They're great.

I'm running today again, 25mins in one go 🫣 I haven't ran as long as that before so I'm a bit worried about it 😆.

I cancelled my gym membership after hurting my back in Jan, my plans are to continue running and give my back a rest (it's still sore 🥲) and then once I'm a bit closer to my goal weight I'll start getting back to the gym. I do miss it a bit now.

How did you hurt your back if you don't mind me asking?

How did you hurt your back if you don't mind me asking?

Not at all. I hurt it at the gym, I didn't go to the gym for about 4 weeks over the Christmas period and when I returned I don't think I had warmed up or stretched properly and pulled it doing Romanian deadlifts 😭. It's an exercise I'm really comfortable and confident with so I can only put it down to not being warmed up properly. I dropped my weights down to test the waters because I have had a break. I think it was just unlucky tbh. It's mostly better but it's still niggling sometimes.


I done my full 25 min run without stopping 🎉. I feel quite accomplished doing that because I had quite a negative mindset, it is pissing down outside so that made me worse. I went out and just ran as slow as I could without stopping, chasing flat pavements and downhills 😂. Easy peasy. A faster pace and hills can be worked on another day.

Pulling a muscle is my worst nightmare.

I've seen some of those videos of pec tears and I feel like crying.

How do you warm up for RDLs @FETCHER.?

[FETCHER.]

It's really not too bad thankfully!

I usually do an incline walk for 5-10mins then do a few stretches, normally I do RDL's after a few cable/machine assisted back exercises but tbh with the January rush I never stretched as much as I usually do that day and didn't do as much before I jumped in to them because the gym was so busy and I paid the price 😭😂

Pec tears etc. usually happen to roided guys who egolift. You'll be fine.
