  1. I have a question. Do australian pullups have the same flaws as upright rows? I see the movenent is similar and also whenever i do australian pullups i feel horrible pain in my wrists and elbows

  2. The 11th commandment pisses me off good. Back in the 70s, the upright row was considered mandatory, and I did them religiously. Now I'm 65 and my shoulders are blown out, always hurting, and very weak. Thanks to Jeff, I can take the proper approach now, but I wish he'd have been around back then.

  3. I don't understand the hype about rear delts. If you have any kind of decent back day routine you are basically activating the rear delt even more than you are activating say front delts on chest day. I mean bentover barbell row, lat pull down are both as much rear delt excercises as they are back. At least the way I do them. I always feel that doing rear delts on my shoulder day feels kind of overkill bc they are still sore from the back day 2 days ago..

  4. First two minutes – two differing variations of a dumbbell row. Why the first one, which includes external rotation as contracting, then the other where the shoulders remain internally rotated throughout the movement. Please ath-lean xplain why both are in the same video and why each is relevant to shoulders. Kindest thanks.

  5. I enjoy the Commandments videos and find them very helpful, and I would like to see one for biceps or quadriceps (or even the upper chest, especially considering that research supports the efficacy of the reverse-grip bench press).
