- As promised……Part 2 of Back day with Dani. Now that my back, ribcage and shoulders are ready to go, it’s time to do what we love, TRAIN HARD!
From exercise one out of the gate, my lats were just ready to work. Dani fully assessed each exercise and opened my mind to the necessary fixes I needed to make to ensure progress would come for my lats.
I’ve said this 100s of times, if you hit a wall and your effort is not lacking, reach out for help. And this is exactly what I did. I knew she had the knowledge and critical thinking capacity to fix my short comings in back training.
I walked away from this session with a huge pump, zero negative pain and a ton of form tweaks to focus on and master.
I am beyond excited to share this video with you guys and see the change happen in real time. ENJOY!

Those one arm bent over rows are great. I watched one of your videos on them in the past that was really helpful. A lot of great food for thought in this video. Thanks again.
Glad you like them! and you are very welcome man
Man great video, I like the dynamic of you and Dani. Having a hard time training my back dealing with golfer’s elbow. Question for Dani: as a PT what would you recommend dealing with golfer’s elbow? Question for Chris: What exercises should I try that won’t mess with the golf elbow? Keep killing it guys.
golfer's elbow is going to depend a lot on the interplay between shouler rotation/ROM you do/don't have, and hand grip. I can't say for certain wthout a general assessment, but I'd suggest looking at movemoents that either a) have more degrees of freedom/movement options (ex- d-handle pulldown isntead of a mag grip) or somethign that lets you lock in and be stable staying within the range of motion you know you have access to. If it's me... I'm goign degrees of freedom option all day long so that I can think less, find a setup that works, and crank.
I know this is gonna feel like I'm dodging it, but this is how I handle that, try a bunch and see what feels great, not so good and terrible. then stick with the ones that cause ZERO negative pain. I would for sure play around with grip (meaning pronated, semi-pronated, neutral, semi-supinated, supinated). and if you have any of the prime attachments that allow free wrist play, that will be even better.
for me I like the ideal of dbs over bbs bc you can adjust to what feels safe in terms of grip. does that make sense?
@@danilamartina3062 thanks for the tips!
@@CrisEdmondsTV Not a dodgy answer at all, with yalls recommendations it gives me things to look for.
@@waldomus glad we could help
Great video! I assume the same cues for the lat pulldown would apply for biasing the lats during a pull up?
yes sir
Mostly! grip will change this, too, from the perspective of IR/ER or pronation/supination bias, depending on what motio you have, and across which segments.
@@danilamartina3062 I've spent the past week playing around with keeping my ribcage "down" with other exercises. I did it with skullcrushers and noticed a deeper stretch in my triceps!
Dani, when you say folks hold them back by trying to be pristine… are you speaking about technique? So trying to keep reps so perfect you never have wiggle room for some momentum or ugly grinders at the end of set?
I know this was directed to Dani, and I know she will answer....but this is a huge problem in todays landscape of training. Guys and girls are trying to be so cute/perfect that they either aren't going heavy enough or they are just wasting time. There is a sweet spot in training where execution can be really freaking great, but its not taking away from HARD training
Thanks Cris!
@@CaseyKayser very welcome sir!! we actually shot a video addressing this topic. should be out in a couple weeks
this is the biggest thing I think Cris and I agree on: you can't know for certain what works untill you try something.... but people are so afraid with "right/wrong" (like they think the optimal crowd is watching or something) that they lose the actual goal/purpose of training to begin with. I don't know about Cris, but for certain movements, I'm ok with "80% execution" if it gets someone loading the muscle and fired up, even if there are a few less than perfect reps. Other movements I think are more important to really nail execution and drill. all falls within the entirety of the training program an the specific training day, as well.
Thanks for the videos and replies to you both. I am a nerd for sure, and loved watching two thinking bodybuilders train and voice ideas back and forth. 🙌
