I no longer see her around, thank goodness. Maybe somebody complained.
@@bcs2em625 Lmao, i know convenienza gyms have an open space always at the side. I've always wondered why people did push ups/stretched in between equipment
lol, I do bicep curls in the squat rack all the time. I see a lot of comments online talking shit about people like me but nobody ever says a thing to me in person. I'm a big guy.. not jacked by any means so I think people are intimidated by me, either that or they're too nice and just resort to letting out their anger online ;)
me too. I guess whoever came up with this imagined that the horizontal component of the load would be countered by a horizontal component in the foot, making it work somewhere between a squat and a leg extension machine. But it's just so damn ugly. It should be the kind of thing that you think, you try once and then you quit.
yes, it's fucking annoying when I see someone doing curl exercise in squat rack (unless he fucking might do a 100-kg curl exercise). There's a ton of barbells for curl exercise but few racks guys!
Once some lady was literally doing core work on a mat in the squat rack lol. I asked her to use it and she got all bitchy at me too 😂 some people are clueless.
some people.......... i dont like when people stand around and stare at you while you do your sets because they want the equipment you are on. its rude, and not to be age discrimitive, but its usually some older man who does this. to prove i am not age discriminatory my age is six-oh, that is 60.
Old comment but still relevant i guess. People using squat/deadlift rack to do bicep curls with the long bar is so dumb. The guy at my gym turns the exercise into a back/shoulder workout with the way he tosses the damn bar up instead of isolating the biceps..

@@catedoge3206 Typical fat guy response. "I'm strong, I don't need to look good". Well you don't look good OR strong. Just fat. Also known as a power lifter.
I use bosu ball/goblet squats as a rehab tool after having a knee reconstruction. It helps with balance, stabilisers and mind to muscle connection, particularly when under fatigue after the session. In terms of outright muscle and strength, I agree.
For sure. I use bosu for so many things. Keeps my heart rate up while I'm banging out sets. I, like most 35 year old dudes, am not competing for Olympia anytime soon so I just look for longevity over mass or performance. Jeff clearly has hatred for the bosu lol
Agreed, I'm a trainer and I work with a lot of older clients who want to improve their balance, and I use bosu balls all the time to put them in a proprioceptively rich environment, really challenges their stability and helps them improve their motor control! 😊
I think his point that for purely muscle building exercises, the Bosu ball is not as effective BUT he doesn’t go into stability (I think cuz that isn’t the focus of his channel, there are other channels that are more PT/OT focused)
@@caseycash4725 He straight up says, most of his viewers are focusing on strength and muscle gains but that he can see it having uses for stuff other than that. (Like exactly what you’ve just said you can use it for)

Maybe it's preference bc I also take both with my to the gym, I prefer using airpods in general since having beats for too long hurts my ears, but also some exercises (especially cardio) are hard to do when your airpods keep falling out, that's when I use my beats because doing 4 sets or a cardio session without music is dead
i think the production quality on his videos is excellent. good cinematography, audio, editing and colors. i dont know if he has a crew working for him, but being good in your respective field (fitness) and knowing how to make a professional looking and sounding video is quite an accomplishment
To get that extra bass pumped into his neck, hoping that the low frequencies make there way up to his mastoid bone, which they always do due to the omni-directional nature of the lower frequencies.

I was at the gym yesterday and the only bench press that would've been open for me got taken by a dude curling while standing over the bench. I had to resort to benching in the squat rack...
Jeff, you made good points with the Rack Pull exercise. However if done correctly it also targets the quads, hams, lower back, and glutes; also decreasing lumber stress (which you failed to mention). “The Rack pull throwing around weights”, maybe if you go to Eqinox or a commercial gym where your required to be quiet. For gym etiquette you don’t need to throw weights around, pick them up and put them back. There’s gym etiquette for ya.
@@Simone69214 your still bending bars, if you do these rack pulls in a public gym, that doesnt have a "beater" bar specifically for rack pulls, you are an asshole
Yo Jeff, I've been lifting for years and trying to do it intelligently. I've read articles and Arnold's book. I've got a few gains. But I'm learning stuff that I thought I already knew by watching your channel. For real, huge shoutout to you, this is probably the no BS best lifting/weight training channel on TH-cam. Thanks for educating the masses my dude.
Out of these I sometimes do front raises,. I'm glad I saw this. Ive never really put thought into why i do them I just enjoy the way it feels at the end of a workout, usually light days with high reps. I get 15 pound dumbbells and just crank out 100, concentrating on keeping my back/torso still and a controlled motion going up and down In tempo. Perhaps I've just been wasting my time.
Has got to be one of the best TH-cam channels for anyone getting into fitness and lifting, so informative and the editing and videography is awesome to watch
The notion that isolation for front delts is bad, is honestly tiring. 1. There are DEFINITELY people who would benefit from having some isolation work for their front delts 2. If the reason to not isolate your front delts is "Pushing movements already hit them enough" then I want you to stop isolation work for your triceps, they already get hit enough on your pressing movements by your logic.
The first program I was on when I started lifting about 8 months ago included front raises, but noted to do them very slowly. I found that doing them slow at a low weight was an insanely hard forearm workout, and I didn't feel it in my front delts at all unless I went heavier and faster. No idea if it's worth it as a forearm workout compared to other options, but it was tough as hell.
Jeff, Love your channel, would really like a Technique Tuesday on favorite exercises for common posture issues (forward head, thoracic flexion, lumbar hyperextension) since posture plays a huge role from presentation to proper form/ROM. Thanks for creating such an informative and entertaining channel.
Good summary! Especially I like your dissuading for the behind the neck exercises. In my youth I got a serious upper back damage by behind the neck pulldown, causing me several months abstaining from training. And I didn't use heavy weights. I have heard so many warnings for that performance so I really think it's justified.
after sifting through a bunch of garbage fitness channels, I just want to say that this is quality content. You don't talk around in circles about the same thing over and over again, you get to the point and are concise and clear. Not to mention that your knowledge and advice is very solid as well. This is the type of content that will actually be helpful to novice health and fitness enthusiasts.
The main caveat to BTN (behind the neck) pulling and pressing is its specific application to Olympic weightlifting. Between the increased activation of the lower trapezius and more time working in the "head-through" position, its a useful accessory. For general population, field and physique athletes; Jeff is right, there are more ideal alternatives.
You are the best workout TH-cam I’ve found. I’ve learned a lot about technique, diets, and the science behind it all. Make me much more confident in the gym and my workout routine.
What Jeff is saying is don't sacrifice strictness of form for depth. Just go as deep as you can withoyt form breakdown. Clarence can squat low woth good from so he's good.
Yeah I've been doing the first one for 2 weeks only because I might have a shoulder injury and I'm worried about doing any sort of press on my shoulders. Can say it definitely makes my shoulder feel better and popping has subside.
I really appreciate him for explaining the squats. My friend kept saying our form was bad because we weren't going that low, I didn't know much, but I'm like my body can't do that 😂😂😂💪I was right . A 90 degree angle is perfectly fine
A little below 90° is better as you have the leg angle to move upwards instead of trying to stand up from a delicately balanced position. Nothing is worse than a half squat that is supposed to be a full squat
Squats have a lot of benefits and although highly recommended they are not essential. You need to have the right form and physiology to do them safely. Depending on your goals it might be better to look elsewhere for growing your legs and leg strength.
Anyone can go ass to grass and should be training their mobility for them. It's literally a basic human function. Stop finding cheap ways out. It's been proven that atg squats also produce more hypertrophy results and improves conditioning and quad strength. Don't blame it on your anatomy blame it on your laziness to never stretch. If a child can do it then you can
hey man, i love your videos and you have helped me a lot with not only nutrition but also lifting. is it possible if you tell me where you find your studies? i am writing an essay for school right now and i have decided to do experimentations with free weights vs machine training. i need some secondary sources and the studies that you reference in your videos fit the criteria perfectly in my opinion. thanks!
DUDE thank you so much for being a guy that says these things to the public! It’s so un necessary to to half the things you just showed and sooooo many people are doing that!
lmao could you imagine a dude "pfffting" you while you ask to squat, while he goes back to his curls in the power rack???? that is such a funny clip man.
I was skeptical before watching, this being the first video I've seen by Jeff, but... holy shit this is hilarious and Really well done. Good job Jeff, I hate seeing this nonsense go down at the gym too.
What is an exercise that definitely should have made this list and why? Let's discuss.
Mid-lower traps, rear delts, rotator cuffs, calves, cervical flexor, capital flexor
My bad you already covers them as for exercise I think cable core for obliques
Could you make a video collaborating with Timbah Wolf, on new years to do the 2020 chin ups together?

In my youth I got a serious upper back damage by behind the neck pulldown, causing me several months abstaining from training. And I didn't use heavy weights.
I have heard so many warnings for that performance so I really think it's justified.
Jeff : Above the knee rack ..
Alpha destiny : "Whomst have summoned the Yoked one ?!"
Underappreciated comment
Thor Odinson no he is not an idiot
He’s literally throwing shade this whole video to Alex
The above the knee rack pull is a shit gimmicky exercise.
@@rjdarcygaming they collaborated before, and have very different goals
If you haven't curled at the squat rack, you haven't lifted.
after sifting through a bunch of garbage fitness channels, I just want to say that this is quality content. You don't talk around in circles about the same thing over and over again, you get to the point and are concise and clear. Not to mention that your knowledge and advice is very solid as well. This is the type of content that will actually be helpful to novice health and fitness enthusiasts.
Jeff said he sprained his ankle while playing basketball. My guess is he actually did it on the bosu ball.
Haha
Basketball? Man couldnt dunk in a kindergarten match
Most likely because basketball requires a sports specific strength and conditioning approach.
Albert Wells he got shots tho, from what I’ve seen in vlogs of his
the cheesy smile in that sweetshirt costume doing front raises has me laughing
This dude the type of guy to wear an argyle sweater to the gym
The main caveat to BTN (behind the neck) pulling and pressing is its specific application to Olympic weightlifting. Between the increased activation of the lower trapezius and more time working in the "head-through" position, its a useful accessory. For general population, field and physique athletes; Jeff is right, there are more ideal alternatives.
I love nerdy Jeff and his crocs LOL
You are the best workout TH-cam I’ve found. I’ve learned a lot about technique, diets, and the science behind it all. Make me much more confident in the gym and my workout routine.

3:51 and so did Clarence Kennedy
What Jeff is saying is don't sacrifice strictness of form for depth. Just go as deep as you can withoyt form breakdown. Clarence can squat low woth good from so he's good.
I thought of them as well 😂
The part about squat depth was actually massively helpful and insightful for me, thank you!
This is the nicest I have ever seen someone make a list of things they obviously hate.
Before diving into the video the intro alone just had me rolling.
You left out standing side bends with a 45 plate! It's Bro Jeff's favorite exercise!
FormOverEgo Training I never get a burn from that I figured I’m not doing it right
Yeah I've been doing the first one for 2 weeks only because I might have a shoulder injury and I'm worried about doing any sort of press on my shoulders. Can say it definitely makes my shoulder feel better and popping has subside.
I really appreciate him for explaining the squats. My friend kept saying our form was bad because we weren't going that low, I didn't know much, but I'm like my body can't do that 😂😂😂💪I was right . A 90 degree angle is perfectly fine
A little below 90° is better as you have the leg angle to move upwards instead of trying to stand up from a delicately balanced position. Nothing is worse than a half squat that is supposed to be a full squat
Squats have a lot of benefits and although highly recommended they are not essential. You need to have the right form and physiology to do them safely. Depending on your goals it might be better to look elsewhere for growing your legs and leg strength.
Anyone can go ass to grass and should be training their mobility for them. It's literally a basic human function. Stop finding cheap ways out. It's been proven that atg squats also produce more hypertrophy results and improves conditioning and quad strength. Don't blame it on your anatomy blame it on your laziness to never stretch. If a child can do it then you can
I always get mad when people squat in my curl rack too. Great list Jeff!
Fact: treadmill deadlifts aren't on the list.
omg that nerd outfit is perfect! Even the hair. the love to detail 10 out of 10
Just now realizing how similar Jeff Nippard and Ben Shapiro sound😂😂

God damn😂😂😂
Weights do not care about your feelings. ❄️
Oh wow. True!
hey man, i love your videos and you have helped me a lot with not only nutrition but also lifting.
is it possible if you tell me where you find your studies? i am writing an essay for school right now and i have decided to do experimentations with free weights vs machine training. i need some secondary sources and the studies that you reference in your videos fit the criteria perfectly in my opinion.
thanks!
Cheating front raises on a bosu ball in the squat rack should be in everyone's programme.
Anyone else notice the guy squatting in Crocs
DUDE thank you so much for being a guy that says these things to the public! It’s so un necessary to to half the things you just showed and sooooo many people are doing that!
Also I never thought about over developing front delts thank you for that!🤟🏼
Finally a good explaination and justification for why ass to the grass isnt nesescery
Didn’t mention the Zercher squat when talking about the different types of squats
Sad bugenhagen noises
I love how he chose a convoluted outfit for convoluted machine shoulder presses. Headsets around the neck while wearing earbuds
okay see i've never seen or heard about "cheat rows" with landmines and thought you were about to lay the smackdown on one of my go-to back killers
I never saw the crocs with beginner jeff, laughed so much😂
Excellent video. Very informative, easy to understand, and spoken with fine enunciation and clarity. This is not a ponzi scheme.
lmao could you imagine a dude "pfffting" you while you ask to squat, while he goes back to his curls in the power rack???? that is such a funny clip man.
I was skeptical before watching, this being the first video I've seen by Jeff, but... holy shit this is hilarious and Really well done. Good job Jeff, I hate seeing this nonsense go down at the gym too.
