INSANE Back Workout with Andrew Jacked & Martin "The Martian" Fitzwater | Raw & Uncut

Today I got to run a full back day with Andrew Jacked while he was in Texas, and this one turned into way more than “just” a workout.

We walk you through how we’re setting up every machine for two big, tall open bodybuilders, why I’ve been focusing on perfect control over ego lifting, and how Andrew finds ways to make any machine work for his frame. You’ll see us tweak grips, angles, and setups to actually hit lats, mid-back, and rear delts instead of just moving weight.

In between sets we talk about:
The reality of being in the Open right now and why the division is truly wide open
Prague, Fort Worth, New York & how fast things changed once I started winning
Traveling from Dubai to LA to Texas while trying to grow and stay healthy
Sponsorships, business, and still doing engineering work on the side

Why ego will never win you a Sandow – but discipline, control, and consistency might

If you’re a taller lifter, chasing the Open, or just trying to build a better back with smarter training, this session is loaded with small cues and mindset shifts you can steal.
