People Often Struggle to Feel their Lats when Training Back

People often struggle to feel their lats when training back. I find two exercises in particular are great for everyone to train lats: supinated lat pulldowns and chest-supported rows, which you can see my client Kyle demonstrating here. Besides those exercises, it’s a case by case basis. You have to go through trial and error to find exercises that work for you. That’s why people hire me.

Kyle has been a long-term coaching client on @getverb. You might remember his past transformation post, and he’s now in the process of lean bulking and putting on muscle. He comes in to see me in person from time to time for a tune up. In this case we’ve found that a variation on the one-arm row is successful to help him feel his lats.

Normalizing Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Get your lab work done annually 💉 If you’re a man in your 30s you should be checking your testosterone at least once a year, if you’re over 35 you should be doing it twice a year.

There is a stigma around testosterone replacement therapy that is completely unnecessary. Having low testosterone puts you at an increased risk of heart disease, prostate cancer, and a number of other health complications. Taking testosterone replacement therapy will not make you jacked in itself, but with proper nutrition and a serious weight training regimen it will absolutely enhance it. No guys, TRT is not the same thing as buying steroids that were designed for horses from some sketchball you met at the gym 🐎

Garlic 🧄

Garlic has a multitude of health benefits. It doesn’t just help fight vampires 🧛‍♂️ it helps to fight heart disease, high blood pressure, and is chock full of antioxidants. It also contains prebiotic fiber which helps facilitate the good bacteria in your gut. Your daily recommendation is 1-2 cloves a day or 3-6 grams daily.
