"I'm in position now for a reverse lat pull. We are going to go from there right into a wide push up. Perfect combination. For this you need to be leaning back. I'm really extended back here if you can see this you probably can't but I'm way back and I'm going to pull myself up. Here is the deal on this one. As you are coming back from the reverse you want to really feel your body trying to do this quicker then you want to so up, squeeze slow down. Squeeze, slow down. The difference is if I do this, it's momentum and my biceps are working too much. I want back muscles ok. So after you do those wow, you are going to feel that in your traps as well. These are your traps. I'm going to take it wide right here, wide grip, come down and up. My back has to stay very flat so I'm not doing this, my butt is not coming up. Whoa, ok feel this ok so you would do this and my suggestion is that you would go immediately into this and put your hands up higher. So you change the angle. So I move my hands up higher on this and I would do several sets and as you can see I would go back and forth and then perhaps on the last one, I would go lower and be in this position. This feels entirely different. Right here this feels different. Ok so very basic set up you can probably find something like this somewhere and again pulling back and then pushing. You have your pull and push exercises, really excellent. And I definitely feel this and I know you will too."
