![]() No here-say reviews at this site kids! That means it’s my skinny systems analyst ass against the Israeli powerhouse. Like all reviews at, this will involve myself as the test subject. Use an assisted pull-up machine, if necessary, to get through all reps.Body Beastis another fitness program by Beachbody and is hosted by Sagi Kalev who is one part man and one part adamantium gorilla ( I hope he doesn’t read that ). The Workoutġ Does not include 1-2 warm-up sets, not done to failure.Ģ Perform the negatives slowly on each rep, taking 3-5 seconds to lower yourself to full extension. If you get less than 10 reps on the exercises don’t worry, because the next time you complete this workout you will know what to expect and be mentally and physically stronger. Make sure you select weight loads that bring about failure at the rep ranges listed to make this a real mass-builder. You’ll finish off with back extensions to target the postural muscles (erector spinae) for good stability on pretty much everything else you do. ![]() Wide-grip lat pulldowns hit your upper, outer lats (your wingspread) and chin-ups – another usually biceps-heavy move – dig into your lower lats. Reverse-grip barbell rows, which are normally dominated by your biceps, can now target the area that they were most intended to hit: the lower lats and middle back. Cross-body curls blast your underlying brachialis and your forearm-tie-in while incline curls address your biceps’ peak, or outermost head. The barbell curl provides good overall mass-building while the exercises that follow slightly alter the emphasis. Three different curls target the biceps from three angles. They’ll be too fatigued to dominate any of your pulls, meaning that a) you still get to train both groups on the same day and that b) your back muscles can actually get a better overall workout because your lats, rhomboids and erectors will be the main movers on each dedicated exercise. By taking a shot at your biceps first, you prevent them from taking over during back moves. ![]() Or, in a much cooler twist, you can go like Keanu in Speed and “shoot the hostage” – hostage, in this case, referring to your biceps that are keeping you from the clean shot of the perp (your back). One strategy would be to simply bite the bullet and train the two groups on separate days. So what’s a lifter to do when he wants to get in a good, old fashioned back-and-bi’s day? Making matters worse is the fact that your biceps tend to get in on the action to induce flexion of the elbow on pulls. It’s hard enough that you can’t see the muscles at work while you train them. ![]() ![]() Hitting your back like a boss is a worthy, if sometimes complicated pursuit. ![]()
