Back Training Troubleshooting with Seth Feroce — Fixing a Lagging Body Part

[Seth Feroce Feed]

In a 75+ minute deep-dive, Seth Feroce breaks down Tai’s back day and pinpoints why Tai’s back—specifically his lower lats—is lagging behind his other fast-growing muscle groups like arms, shoulders, and legs. Despite following a consistent, well-documented training protocol, Tai’s back hasn’t kept pace. Seth explains that while Tai is a perfectionist and methodical with training, the style and execution need a shift.

They dive into high-volume pull-ups, reverse grip barbell rows, and variations of row angles and grips—testing what truly activates the lower lats. The verdict? Single-arm work wasn’t cutting it. For Tai, two-handed, compound pulling with body control and rhythm hits better. They emphasize that back training can’t be treated like other body parts. Arm path, torso angle, grip width, and movement rhythm all change where tension lands.

Seth shows how trial and error, rhythm-based training, and ego-free experimentation (even with some “body English”) are crucial for evolving past plateaus. It's not about sticking to the textbook—it's about feeling what works.

“If you're not willing to take criticism, you'll never grow. Bodybuilding is brutal. It’ll expose every weakness—mentally and physically.”

Takeaway: Your back isn't just one muscle. It’s five-plus regions—mid, upper, lower lats, traps, erectors—and you can’t grow them all with the same approach. Want to grow? Drop the ego, take the feedback, and get brutally honest with what’s working and what’s not.

Discussion Prompt: Have you ever hit a wall with back progress? Did changing grip, body angle, or exercise order help you break through? Share what worked (or didn’t) for you.
