The Best Science-Based Back Workout (TARGET EVERY MUSCLE!)
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2017
- In this video I discuss the best back training workout that utilizes exercises for a big back, as well as exercises for a wider back based on current scientific literature and our anatomical understanding of the back muscles. It’s important that you not only choose the right exercises when performing a back workout for mass, but to also perform these exercises in the correct fashion to target the right muscles. If you’re looking to add more mass, depth, and width to your upper back and lower back while targeting muscles that are important for scapular and shoulder stability, then this is the best back workout video for you.
Within the video I’m going to discuss 5 exercises that I believe are essential to grow a powerful and attractive looking back: the deadlift, pull-up, chest-supported row, lat pulldown, and scapular pull-up.
I will go through each of these exercises and show the muscle anatomy worked in each exercise, as well as the best variations of these exercises based on current research. It’s also equally important that you are targeting the right back muscles when you perform each of these exercises. I discuss a few “cues” and tips that have helped me minimize the involvement of secondary muscles and focus on using my back throughout each movement.
Don’t forget to give the video a like and leave a comment if you enjoyed it and found it useful!

- think about pulling with elbows as opposed to hands
- depress your traps before starting each movement; shoulders down and away from ears
- use a thumbless grip
- middle and wide grip
Samuel Warner thank uuuuu
Thanks for timestamps

Is that really the order you should be doing them in though???
4:10 “However I urge you not to immediately draw conclusions directly from literature, especially solely from EMG studies, as all studies have flaws and... individual differences in our anatomy and body structure...” A sign of a smart person right there.
I love the over developed traps makes me look hulkish
not smart, responsible. but yeah jeremey is a smart guy in general.
And a cocky one☝️ !
im 23 and have a desk job. Been doing all of your posture correcting workouts and I feel TREMENDOUSLY better after 2 days. thank you so much for posting the content
I love how this guy always approaches lifting from the perspective of trying to get as aesthetic as possible for the ladies.
Not really for the ladies. I work out because when I look at the gains in the mirror it gives me confidence
it's the most loser thing I've ever read.
@@madathmdlla you love Hagen Grell then
@@danielschwegler5220 hagen who? it's the first time I've ever heard his name. Nonetheless, what's your point?
Dáithi O’lionán are you Jeremy Ethier?
Very good video. I notice in the comments someone said your monotone. That is BS. Too many people on CZcams sound like a used car salesman. I enjoyed your steady, even explanation and found it easy to listen to. Liked the video enough to subscribe. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man, hard to please everyone haha. Thanks for the kind words.
Darin Wood I find his voice soothing😂
Jeremy Ethier I’m so grateful to have found you! My 13 year old son is getting more into fitness and your delivery of knowledge will be easily received by him (both verbally & visually) so I can’t thank you enough🙏🏽
You have a very nice, smooth, even tone and delivery, making it much easier for me to follow your instructions. You are an excellent fitness instructor.
But he does need to put some variation in his explanation.
Hi Jeremy, my name is Joe Bell. I am a personal trainer at the Head Quarters of the Dallas Cowboys, Cowboys Fit. I find your content to be very informative and well thought out. You definitely put in a lot of work to research and practicing of your craft. I greatly enjoy watching on reading your content and the study's that you reference in your articles. Thank you very much for sharing. God Bless.

*Joe Bellend*
are you trolling my dude ?
I also agree. He's very detailed knows his art!
Yes....steal the information....
Who’s the Dallas cowboys? What sport is that?
This dude's stuff is well thought out and thorough. My buddy and I have been doing his push pull legs routine for a few weeks now and it is definitely effective!!!
Dude really good video. I’m a trainer and rarely watch these type of videos since they are all the same but - this was well paced well spoken , and very good info. Keep these videos up for all muscle groups and you’ll be set . As you know In the fitness world we are always discovering new things - so you got a good niche. Subscribed 😀👍
As a physician, I respect the effort you've gone thru to search and collect all these medical and scientific studies. Well done.
As a guy reading a physician's comment, I like burritos. A lot.
1. Deadlift
2. Pull Up
3. Chest Supported Rows
4. Lat Pull Down
5. Scapula Pull Up
thank you!
Non cape hero you are good sir👍
5. Profit

Come back to these and sometimes don't realize how far you've come from video editing to information to just overall building yourself to help others. Thanks Jeremy
Informational and science based but no 100% claims
💯
You're coming for these other CZcamsrs careers and I can respect that. You're literally more detailed and direct than they are while still coming off like someone I don't mind talking to.
Keep doing your thing. Build that family legacy off this!
The best part of this video IMO is that you cite your claims with scientific studies. Keep that up, it shows that you're not just passing along bro science or anecdotal opinions. Good job!
Thanks man!
Scientific studies Don't mean BS because everyone responds to training differently
@Ashvin Vaidyanathan yes that is true to an extent. But I made up a workout split that has given me great gains. A buddy of mine tried the split but didn't get near the amount of gains I got in the same amount of time he even gets one more hour of sleep each night than I do
Ashvin Vaidyanathan. I totally understand
Thanks for watching everyone! I'm planning on doing this type of video for all the major muscle groups in the future. For the meantime, give me a follow on Instagram and Facebook for informative content that I put out on a more regular basis, and if you have any questions you can message me on those platforms:

Hey pal....
Need ur help...
I m 5 ft11 89kgs, can do 40 pushups in a go, but cant do 2- 3 pull ups,
Your advice???
Can i do 10, in 2 months??
Pls reply.
Make a video, on such cases.
Planning on doing a video on that in the future. Focus on doing negatives with your pull-ups, bodyweight inverted rows, and assisted pull-ups with the machine or bands. It's hard to say how quickly your pull-up will improve but those exercises will definitely help.
i tried so hard to watch and gain knowledge but just could not get past the music background. turn it down so people can focus better thanks
Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind for future videos.
Jeremy Ethier thanks Jeremy for the update science for the back muscles.
Really really awesome.. Very clear, short, precise and detail demonstration. Makes us understand better. Tq bro..
Jeremy, I highly appreciate this content. Loved it!!!
This guy has done his homework. Job well done. I read some of the exact same articles. Most notably, the lat pull-down while leaning back. It's a good read and I've seen those 11% more gains they're talking about mostly in the lower lat.
Great to hear bro! Every little boost counts haha
jeremy , to contract toward the spineattachment is to center and so is to increase stability and so fundament for beeing and movement. that is important.
I appreciate the fact that you provide the scientific data to support why this versus that is best when performing the exercise. Love the diagrams showing the back (mind to muscle connection is important when doing the exercise) and how you highlighted them! New subscriber on board!
Awesome, thanks for the sub!
I love how structured but also to the point this video was. And how descriptive and I loved tge wrap up at the end that made it all come together. I’ve been researching a lot of CZcamsrs and their videos are kind of all over the place . This really helped thank you .
4:25 I can't unsee that Christmas tree!
I cant see it. Where do I exactly look?
@@kolmekalaa5401 his lower back forms it
I just did the scapular pull downs at the end of his workout and they are amazing!! My body is off balance with flat feet and and weakness on the right side (foot arch, hip, back, scapula, shoulder, and neck). I have been researching and trying ways to strengthen and correct this, but have never been able to target the area of my mid-back and sub-scapular area. This move just hit it like crazy!!
Thanks so much!!!!

If a building has bad/uneven substructure, its walls will start to crack eventually, even if you will try to fix them they will crack again and again... Support your foot and fix your hip - that is what you should do first. Go from the bottom and up.
I like how all your videos are very helpful especially for gym beginners like myself. They help me visualize which muscles are at work for each specific exercise, and so I get to do the right form. 😊 Thanks for the great content on your channel!
Just joined last week.and extremely enjoy all the details with every exercises. Good job!
I like when it shows the muscles in red to show what is getting the activation ! That helps out a lot when teaching and learning about exercising of the specific muscles .
Best back training video I've come across thus far. Well done :)
Thanks man I appreciate that!
Go check out Athlean-X video of back
Noel Carlo Palabrica I am following him. His videos are great as well.
I think he has already done.
I dont often write comments to all of these training video's but I gonna say this is one of the best most visual and science based videos i've seen in a while. fancy words here and there but easy to understand due to the graphical explanations that was shown meanwhile. great work!
Thanks a lot for the kind words, I appreciate it!
Literally best video! No gimmicks just straight to the point. Loves everything about the video! First time watching your video, hope I get to see more about other body groups!
Clear simple concise. Best workout channel I've ever come across.
this has to be one of the most informative workout videos ive ever seen. Thank you Jeremy
Well done on doing all that research dude 👍
Great job Jeremy. I will start implementing the chest supported barbell rows in place of standing bent over rows to try to alleviate a little strain on my lowers back. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you Jeremy ❤️
I truly love and appreciate your videos since they made my hypertrophy journey much more clear and organized like no other fitness CZcamsr could do.
If you'll ever consider of doing another version of back workout routine I'll be very keen to see you cover more variety of back exercises and their specific muscle group focus just like the rest of your other body parts videos. In addition it'll be also nice to mention some back stretches and warmup exercises before a back session...
Appreciate your hard work! 🙏🏼
Love from Israel ❣️
I predict that you’ll become one of the biggest fitness channels on CZcams. Quality content, you deserve more then 35k subs!!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
Wow you went from 35K subbies to 105K? I bet your YT check is looking sweet.

This video is amazing and very scientifically based since I am a doctor !! Good job and keep the good work
Hey jeremy!!! I’ve been your trainee since my day 1!! congratulations for your 3M bro, I’m so proud of you
Could you make videos like this for the chest, arms ,etc.
I have 2 videos up for arms, and the chest one will be released this Sunday!
Jeremy Ethier that's great. Thanx for replying.😁
Can you do legs and shoulders please!
I'll get legs up sometime next week and then I'll cover shoulders!
Thanks!
That pull up game looks flawless
I like the simplicity you use to explain and how you use cientific evidence to support your recommendations. You just earned one subscriber man. Keep it up.
Love the pace at which you explain the workouts. Very calming.
You're an angel when it comes to inform me about my workout and training 😇😂

This is amazing, expert advice wow. You're passionate about what you do. Amazing! 💕
Respect how you offer simple injury free type workouts
I am not one to comment on videos but gotta give this guy props. One of the best workout videos I have ever seen with actually great and accurate facts. Well done my man!
a video with actual citations to back it up....mother of god you just got a subscriber.
Just subbed - excellent video and very well put together. I'll be using this as my back routine from now on!
Thank you, glad to hear! 👌
Hey, can you share your results and feedback post adaption of this routine?
Probably one of the best and most informative channels!! Well appreciate this content
I'm a Physic and I loved this video! The best explanation ever! Ty so much !! Hugs from Brazil !
This is such an underrated channel.
Bravo!
I've watched over 50 online videos to learn the basics of working out. I want to get into a gym to lose 60 lbs excess fat weight and tone up.
About 25% of the videos were informative, while 75% were superfluous in their content and 75% less polished compared to your videos! I 100% love your fact-based, muscle anatomy graphic overlay, research-study citation, strict-form, fun presentations! Your muscle anatomy graphics are superb!
Your workout videos are now my "go-to-primer" before studying other videos. Excellent workout tutorials Sir!
Fantastic Video Jeremy, I followed your chest routine and it's great. Definitely earned my respect and I will follow your recommendations. I also love that you talk normal, not the sales crap and tone of voice most CZcamsrs do. Thanks and keep it up!
One of the best back workout videos I’ve seen on this platform
First time watching and you gained a subscriber buddy.
Awesome, thanks bro!
Another variety I perform at the end of my mid and upper back routine is to start at the top of the pull up bar and just hang and contract all of your pulling muscles and very slowly begin to revert back to the bottom. A negative contraction. Stand underneath the bar and have it running forward and behind you, then clasped the bar and have your head on one side or the other at the top of the bar while just hanging until you can no longer hang and eventually begin the decent. Once you hit bottom you start all over until you have no strength in your hands to hold on.
Geo Gil same here
Same here, watched your video for 1st time today, and the detail & science on back exercises was amazing, I subscribed keep them coming.
1-Deadlifts emphasis lower back(Erector Spinae) and upper traps/ Also (Glutes and Hamstrings too)
2-Pull ups emphasis the Lats, Lower traps, Infraspinatus, teres major and teres minor
3-Rows emphasis Mid traps, Rhomboids, Rear delts, also lats
4-Lat pull down is more of a giant set, since it emphasis the same muscles as pull ups at the exception of the rotator cuff muscles
5-Scapula Pull Up is more of a finishing exercise to isolate the lower traps
In my opinion the 3 first are all you need, The latter are optional
Yeah, but actualy after some time you should include one more exercise in your back routine, standing cable pull-over
rewatching this after gaining much more knowledge now this all makes sense to me
love this guys content. he gets straight to the point no bs or false info just helping out me and my fellow twigs
When your class topper also loves the gym !! Great video .. jus earned a new subbed !!

yeah wtf?
Bruh 1k??? We are now at 17k!
bruh 24k
I just found your videos and I really like your voice/content! I’m super engaged and I just want to watch them all!!!! I have only been lifting on and off for about 4 years and am always concerned about form, love how knowledgeable you are and the videos are extremely informative!
Clear and concise with good combination of graphics. Not too-too wordy or technical. Thank you!
Yes!!! This is almost 'exactly' my back routine, in this very order. And I 'have' seen a lot of progress with it. Prefer cable rows tho.
czcams.com/video/qWcs6gVEDUQ/video.html
Even if you do every back exercise every day the progress will stop at some point if you don’t add weights constantly.
WOW EXPLANATION
WOW AFTER MANY DAYS I HAVE LIKED THE VIDEO FINELY DESCRIBED
GOOD STUDY N GOOD KNOWLEDGE SHARING
Just rewatched this & learned so much today. Especially the 135°, 11% lat activation & the difference between the widths it the grips. Before it just slipped by but now with some of the improvements I can make it my programming it makes way more sense.
This is the best workout video I’ve ever seen. Very thorough, thank you! Subbed
Excelente canal, muy bien explicado.
Coming from reddit. Very good video and I love the sources. Just subscribed. Looking forward to more videos like these

On those hammer strength back machines, the best advice I was given was “try to push chest into the pad” at the end of the motion. Definitely gives me an extra squeeze in the
