Everyone turns them into an arm movement, then they wonder why they can’t develop any back thickness.
Best thing that happened to me in terms of being able to feel my back do the work was a bout of forearm inflammation years ago. So I tied my hands to an angled pulldown type machine and basically did downward angled “shrugs” without any elbow flexion. When my arm felt better, my back development exploded.

My best in this regard was ‘severious’. Had another but I can’t remember it.
Speaking of Elitefts …Im less than a hour and a half drive from there. Depending on the item I can get stuff almost the next day if I order it early in the morning.
I had no reason to hate you. Until now.
I like it when ppl use common sense. If you’re not working the muscle you’re trying to target effectively, doing the same thing you’re already doing isn’t going to help much. Mind/muscle connection is important, if you can’t feel the muscle working then what are you doing? Amirite?
Wasting valuable oxygen that a person with a brain could be using.
We all waste valuable oxygen tho. Would rather chill with a person who has a sense of humour than a person with an amazing brain. Sometimes you run into one that’s both witty and funny.

I remember when I was like 20 I use to “row” 315 and thought I was a total badass. It looked more like a monkey humping a football than an actual row and it wasn’t until years later when I found Meadow’s stuff and started rowing in the smith machine with like a 45 on each side that I was like oh that’s what a peak back contraction is supposed to feel like
Back development got significantly better after that for some reason…
I caught a case of forearm tendonitis ~5 years ago when I tried using Fat Gripz to get dem forearm gainz brah. Gawd that was awful. Couldn’t hardly hold a weight until it finally resolved.
What’s your best advice for someone who makes this mistake? Er, asking for a skinny-backed friend.
I was pleasantly surprised to see there aren’t 500 new threads in CT’s personal forum asking questions about the newest training program he released. By this afternoon, my comment here could be a moot point.
A movement Ive used a lot for hitting my midback for well over a decade worked so well that I started using it with all my competition clients (I’ve seen people I’ve coached put it in their own videos including it a few times! -lol).
I can’t find my old video of the full movement (a full back session), but if you scroll this clip you’ll see at :50 - :56 seconds rowing to the waist on a smith and scapular retractions in a cable station. Both are excellent to really help get that back contraction your “friend” may be missing

Nice video…love the choice in music
I’m perfectly alright with guys getting their brows done.
Along those lines, I’m a huge fan of mani/pedis
We’re heading into rough territory now, folks…
Id regularly get them threaded when Im at the barbers, pretty regularly get fake tans and other then the beard, keep body hair at a minimum
My partner likes it and theres nothing wrong with good hygiene 
Chased the pump doing curls today, just couldn’t resist. That was only after doing straight sets of 10 tho.
Just a trim is alright I suppose but everytime I do that, THEY GROW BACK LONGER AND THICKER!
