You’ve quickly become my favorite guy to watch powerlifting related 👍💯

Returning subscriber from your old channel! Been really enjoying the topics of your videos lately. Keep it up!

So much good content from this channel, it's insane ! Thank you David

I started watching you quite a while back on the old channel. Fell off for a bit and recently discovered your new stuff here. Big fan

I'm new, and I'm so glad I found you! Your info is gold!

Long time sub

Hey! I found your channel recently, and your videos are incredibly useful for powerlifting. I’m honestly surprised you don’t have a larger following with the depth of knowledge you have. I’m a 15 year old lifter currently preparing for a meet in September in the 67.5kg category with hopes of a 960+ total

Good luck!!

awkward comment but you smiling makes me smile, and that makes me very happy :D

I do pendlay rows and landmine rows due to lack of equipment. The back machines are probably the only thing I miss about training in a commercial gym, you get to train your upper back without fatiguing the lower back.

why not do one arm DB and one arm landmine/meadows rows? Or chest supported DB rows on incline bench? or inverted rows?

@@patrickjulius7352 I wasn't able to do DB rows until recently because I didn't have heavy enough dumbbells. Also I don't have a landmine attachment. And I don't have an incline bench, only a flat bench. Inverted rows are too easy.

Returning subscriber here. Binge watched all your videos on Sumo when I switched. When it comes to technique and cues you’re #1

Been here since the old channel. Great video, probably one of my favorites you have done.

Been waiting for this one since your last video on this topic actually. Great points mate!

I started watching your videos when you already had the new channel, but I watched a lot of videos on the old channel.

Was an old subscriber and didn’t even realize you had a new channel until I saw it on your IG

Just found your new channel recently after discovering your old channel around four month ago. Great video as always!

I was already subscribed to the previous channel

I’ve been around since the last channel

Returning!! but i didnt realize there was a new channel for way too long

It's always nice when you don't fully cringe at the younger version of yourself.

New subscriber here! Started with your programs about a year ago!

been around since the old channel and still think this is some of the best pl content on youtube

I've had a similar experience, every hinged row variant has been too much load for my hips to handle, impacting my deadlift and squat training. Cable stuff seems to be ideal. How do you think chin ups and pull ups fit here? I usually also mix chin ups in my training.

I want to like chin ups/pull ups but I've always found they beat up my elbows and feel like they are more work than they are worth. I still program them often for people that like them, but rarely do them myself.

New subscriber, glad I found you 🫡🫡

Another new person here - really informative content 👍

New subscriber here. Love the content!

Relatively new subscriber! Got to know of you from KOTL then subsquently the old and this new channel

Sub since the old channel! Do you think good mornings are useful for hinge practice and/or back health?

Yes I do. Practically though, I think RDLs and Stiff Legs tend to carry over a bit easier because of all the stuff with the upper body and arms I mentioned.

Tq for the video

Great video

Returning subscriber! Loved your old channel and wondered what happened to you haha

Found your channel from my friend he goes to your gym

You made some good points and I took a look at your program and it seems like you are doing 12-15 direct weekly sets for your upper back. I don't think that much work is necessary for the upper back directly but how many sets do you think is the "minimum" amount a powerlifter should do? For example, I'm doing 4 hard sets of conventional pulling + 2 singles, 3 sets of Romanian deadlifts and 2 sets of stiff-legged deadlifts. However, I only do 8 sets for my upper back directly. 4 sets of pull-ups and 4 sets of seal rows and I have made some good progress on my deadlift this year. I personally think that it's more important to focus on your glutes and quads than your upper back.

If I don't feel like the amount of work that I'm doing for my upper back is impacting my training, but is beneficial for hypertrophy, why wouldn't I do it? I think you missed the point of the video honestly. The whole point is find the right balance that a person needs to make progress. My balance currently is shifted a little towards hypertrophy at the moment. But it isn't always that way. And my answer to the "minimum" is zero. People can make progress with no back work. I just think you are getting a little bogged down in details.

@@BrazosValleyStrength That's reasonable. And yes, if your current focus is more on hypertrophy then that style of training makes more sense and that amount of volume is probably required.

Right. I think the things you mentioned, I also said in the video. The hinge work will be better for improving your strength in comp lifts and back hypertrophy work will help in the longer term. And choosing exercises that are easy to recover from is important.

Been here since this new channel started, so kind of new-ish?

I don't mean to be a "tough guy", but I met a lot of people saying they don't want to fatigue their lower back with bent BB-Rows and at the same time they do a million hyperextensions to strenghten their lower back :D
