12 Laws Of Lifting For Maximum Results

Training Programmes – https://mikethurston.co.uk/

In my opinion these are some of the most important rules to follow the moment you step foot INSIDE THE GYM. By following these rules you’ll maximise the effectiveness of the session itself and should be one step closer to reaching your goals.

1. Empty your mind
2. Have a plan
3. Don’t get distracted by your phone
4. Warm up appropriately
5. Respect the rest period
6. Make every rep count
7. Maintain tension on the working muscle
8. Squeeze the contraction
9. Stay hydrated
10. Maintain proper posture
11. Question everything
12. Quality over quantity

The Best Science-Based Back Workout (TARGET EVERY MUSCLE!)

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!
