Oh wow, someone actually giving some compliments to Jeff's content instead of baselessly attacking Athlean-X in order to leach views. Obviously not everyone has to agree with each other anyway, but it's cool that Will can do his own thing and also give fair props to other people for their content.
@@thomaskant4538 Not really. Tons of people have applied his advice with great results, and his advice is backed up with science and common sense. I've personally done several of his programs and can attest that they can be very effective.

Athlean X has changed my life with just a pair dumbbells and Jeff’s knowledge he provides. And I didn’t even bought his program but I put his knowledge into my workout. Thanks Jeff #athleanx
It's crazy how inspiring you are. As a 12 year old. I started a whole new life. Started to workout play a lot less video games. When I started to workout I could do 5 push ups but now i can do 50 I could do 0 pullups now I can do 8.5. Thanks Will
Nice transition! Check out Morley Robbins to learn some key levers to optimize Mg-ATP production, the chemical muscles need to function. The more efficiently you can make it with minimal exhaust the better off your gains will be, and the more healthy every aspect of your life will be. If you want to kick it up another notch, learn about the Zone Diet. Learn the basics of those two anti-inflammatory diets, and then modify them depending on your objectives. Don't fall for the low fat fraud, either. Just ingest your fat away from a high glycemic load (lots of carbs). Be smart and benefit for life!
I love your videos. I started watching your videos at a really bad time in my life where I was obese and didn’t love myself, suffered and depression and anxiety and your videos gave the encouragement to start losing weight. I’m now a healthy weight and starting to love myself. Thanks so much, you’ll never know how much your videos helped me 💜
Love this format Will. Here are a few recommendations on programs you should try. 1.John Meadows and Dave Tate: the unity 2. Renaissance Periodisation: PhysiqueTemplate 3. Jeff Nippards: PPL or Upper lower 4. Barbell Medicines: Bodybuilding Template 5. MAPS: Aesthetic or Anabolic (Muscle Pump Media) 6. Buff dudes: Superhero plan 7.

So you can show us some more awesome recipe ideas as you do.
The thing is though that you can’t base your opinion off of a single training session. You really need to run a program for its full course to determine if it’s good or not.
@@jamesgrant Sure but the whole point of Will reviewing programs is to critique the written programming and let his followers know if it’s even worth doing/purchasing. The MEV-vs-MRV is something the individual trainee will have to go through alone.
Thanks for reviewing this. I just paid for it today and was glad to hear an outsider's opinion who has obviously attained some results prior. Great video review and funny also.
This really warmed my heart, it's nice to see someone say nice stuff about Jeff he's the guy who helped me get my current Physique and got me too where I am now, Thanks
Absolutely LOVE watching Jeff. Full of knowledge about the little things that make lifts better. I’ve watched him for around 4 years and I’ve trained correctly ever since. Stand up guy. Stand up GURU!
I’m glad you came into this with an open mind and not ready go rip apart Jeff as most you tubers do! I own the beaxst program and I understand your pain during these workouts first hand
Yea man Jeff has helped me out a lot. I owe a ton to Jeff! He's easy to rag on because he comes out with some silly exercises either for clicks or just cuz he's bored... but the dude is solid overall.

I'd love to see you and Jeff do something together one day, as well as you and Jeremy Ethier. When I started my journey from 501lbs, Jeremy's 200-calorie comparison video was the first thing I found that put calories into perspective since I grew up in a household where no one cared about calories. Jeff's videos have been pulling my shoulders back into the proper position and yours are the epitome of what fitness influencers should be.
I didnt sign up for it and got a 6 pack and was doing ok in the body. Took me 6 months doing what Jeff says. Honestly, just do what he says and you will look great.
The thing is, if you just pick a program, and STICK TO IT, you'll look great. People have been building muscle and getting into great, authentic shape, for decades, centuries even. The issue most people have in this day and age is a lack of consistency, and they program hop like fucking mad mate. Bodybuilders, especially younger bodybuilders are the worst for this by the way. They are always searching for the magic program or some guru to tell them what to do, when actually it's really, really fucking easy. Pick a program, ignore all others - just stick to it mate, eat more calories than needed for maintenance if you want to grow, eat less if you want to lean out, eat maintenance to, well, maintain. It isn't difficult. And do things as they are. I'm not a bodybuilder myself, I'm a rugby player here in England, so my strength/power and conditioning work is deliberately kept very simple by the S&C team. That'd because it ain't nothing but GPP for rugby players. In the off season we run a simple, almost Texas Method-like based modality, in the pre season we switch to a program put together by our S&C team which accommodates the introductions of three rugby training days a week (skills, drills) and is based on one upper and one lower day rotating between hypertrophy, strength and then power blocks and one full body day, in season we lift twice a week to accommodate the recovery needed after brutal games played on Saturdays. That is based on full body, twice weekly training as a team, conventional deadlifts get dropped out in favour of the trap bar, but each session leads with an explosive movement (powerclean, power snatch, clean/snatch high pull, reverse med ball toss, box jump, broad jump etc) followed by a squat, a hinge, an upper body push (horizontal one day, vertical the next), pull (horizontal one day, vertical the next) and then some rehab-prehab movements (lat raise, face pull, band pull apart etc) and done. As far as I can tell, the entire team are big, powerful, fast and brutally strong lads, especially where I play in the forwards as a flanker (in the scrum).

Gregg called into question Jeff’s natty status because jeff was using fake weights. Jeff commented in response to Greg challenging him to administer Jeff a drug test.
The under table bottle shake always gets me 😂 I really believe Jeff fueled an entire generation of fitness addicts. Glad to see his plans add up to his content.
@@wishfull3nigma Him being a PT for good athletes does not mean they're good athletes just because he's their trainer. The best way to judge his training methods is to look at the methods themselves and then the performance of the athletes after some time working under those methods. It's also incredibly easy to dupe new/clueless athletes/lifters, which is at all times the majority of people training. Just look at V-Shred: over a million clueless subscribers. His deceptive marketing and inferior training is just more obvious than Athlean-X's
Dude, I friggen love your videos. I can sit here and binge your videos like a goddamn Netflix show. A lot of these fitness dudes take themselves way too seriously. I love your fun and down-to-earth approach to your videos. Keep up the great work, man. Truly an inspiration.
That was very unique young man. To take one of Jeff Cavalieres programs record it, and put it on youtube, brilliant i say. Ive been on fence about purchasing a program for some reason. No doubt now i will be purchasing one very soon. Thanx for that, keep up the great training. And as Jeff would say, stay strong! (Btw, if i eat all that, ill gain 5lbs)
Jeff's videos are really helpful for someone looking to get rid of joint or muscle pains while working out. For example, rotating cuff tear, quadricep tendonitis etc.
I was doing pretty well with the beginners athletic training program and lost about 10 pounds in a month and a half and started seeing gains pretty quickly. Unfortunately that came to a halt when I sprained my ankle at work and moved into a house shortly after (life stuff), but I liked the program so much I bought the body building program as well and plan on doing that soon.
Glad to know that Jeff's programs reflect his channel, I was afraid it was a shitty program like we see on many "expect" channels. I also watched a lot of Athlean-X while growing up, I attribute 40% of what I know fitness related to it
Thanks for a great review! I’ve been following Jeff for six years on and off but always come back to Jeff. It’s a little tough following his nutrition program since I’m on a limited income now (retired and 72!) but I can still do his workouts: Athlean 1/2, Core 4, and Ultimate Arms. Your video is very inspiring and is Jeff. Thank you for the diet tips!
@@tannerlong8301 doubtful. Even if Jeff’s recent uploads have been of lower quality compared to his previous stuff, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s pretty knowledgeable when it comes to exercise science and programming. You can check out Will’s other reviews (even the one with V-Shred) and he remains pretty unbiased throughout his reviews.
I bought an Athlean X program years ago during covid and it's what got me into (consistent, gym-centered) fitness. It was a bodyweight only program that I got during covid and it was absolutely BRUTAL. I wonder if I went back and did it now if I would have an easier time with it.
Thanks for the video, Ive been following Jeffs stuff for a year now. Those leg exercises are awesome. They were recommended to me when I was training for Everest Basecamp. I did the same but 4x12 each leg with 15 pounds (weight of your day pack). It was the best. My legs were still (annoyingly) skinny but i made it up to 18500ft and down no problems!
I love Jeff and the training he provides! My personal experience is that I don’t even worry about food I just eat good and keep working out and it works for me..I have never been worried about scales.
These workout and diet routines Are great if you are independently wealthy and have the whole day to do whatever you want without any responsibilities other than eating and working out
@@LemonToGo Yeah people see bodybuilders and want to emulate them e.g. without all the drug use. But what they don’t realize is for most bodybuilders they made a lot of personal sacrifices especially years ago. Kind of like Rocky in the first film. Many times it took some sort of sponsorship and or mentorship for them to truly realize their potential. This was how Arnold made it. Sure he had a great natural physique because his genetics were amazing. But also once Joe Weider discovered him he had him trained in the best gyms and under the care of doctors who helped give him his pedigree with dosing of steroids and other drugs. Still his determination and genes are what he’ll make this happen. Nowadays We live in such a decadent society that most people want to find a short path to this kind of life they have a lot of money and time and little to do with it so videos like these get made. I would be much more impressed if there was a video made by a young man living with his mom in a cheap apartment trying to work and help her make ends meet while trying to eek out A little bit of time and money to eat properly and get some training in.
I thought you were joking about your lack of core. Props to actually showing the struggles. Even though I’m out of shape I can tell when someone has a strong core.
Honestly, if it's a food item that comes from the outer rings of the grocery store, it genuinely is nearly impossible to overeat. I often have 4 chicken breast tenderloins (it equals about 1 whole breast) and 4 cups of mixed broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. I feel stuffed to the absolute gills from it...barely 500 calories.
You're way off on your calorie count there unless you're just boiling the chicken and not adding any fat to your vegetables. Most people cook and consume those things with fat added. If you've got about 30 g (~2 tablespoons) of butter for those four cups of vegetables, that's 200 calories. If you've got a 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of oil to pan fry that chicken that's another 240 calories. The chicken breast is 280 calories and the vegetables are about 120 calories. That's 840 calories how most people would prepare it. It's not a bad calorie count for all that food, but this is the reason why people undercount their calories and wonder why they're getting fat.
I like and appreciate Jeff because he’s kind what got me into working out, but I once bought his program, trained my ass off and ate the way he said to ate and I gained 15 pounds and I didn’t like my physique. I ate “healthy” but since He said to not count your calories, I didn’t and in the process probably ate too much without realizing it
@@algon1986 same. I already basically know what I’m doing so I’ll just watch Nippard, doucette and athleaen x whenever I need some more clarification or whatever
I love that Will praises Athlene X overall, while the rest of the fitness industry rips him constantly. I have also always thought Jeffs stuff is far from terrible.
When I started my fitness journey I ate every 3 hours. It was great to start with to get my eating under control but after a few months it was too tedious to keep up with. Eating every 2 hours would be a pain.
@@blankspace3511 It has been proven time and time again that it doesn't matter when you eat as long as your getting calories needed. Jeff's plan has it spaced out like this to help keep you from getting hungry throughout the day.
I hope you do the whole program and tell us thoughts on the challenges and the entire program as a whole. The meal plan is good for helping newbies weed out eating poor food choices but counting calories is a must eventually.
Wow, imagine a personal trainer and physical therapist knowing how to help people maintain a healthy lifestyle and get in shape if you follow the program, put in full effort and not be lazy and eat like crap? …who knew…..? OBVIOUSLY, Jeff knows what he’s doing!
I'm actually on week 11 of these program and my man it is brutal. You owe it to yourself to see this whole program through. It gets much more challenging later on
@@markusz4447 I did finish it, and went back through it on a higher difficulty. It's my all time favorite program. The result was me being the strongest all around I've ever been. I did not follow the nutrition because that part of the program was kind of busted, but I tend to eat very high protein, lots of veggies and no sugar. Buy it, do it, you'll feel like an animal.
@@WheelieBad Thanks for the quick ant thorough response! Congrats that you are happy with it. Would you mind elaborating what you meen by busted? Also quick question... I have experience with weights but there are not more than perhaps 20 exercises in my repertoire... Might the number and difficulty of the (many) different ones in the programm be too much/confusing? Thinking about giiving it a try.
@@markusz4447 I don't think so, there are videos on movements if you don't know them. The nutrition side of the website just wasn't very smooth for me. I do recommend the program though.
@@addison_1661 oh, cool, I just recently got one so I haven't really scrolled through people's stuff just yet lol... This goes to show that the quickest way to get the answer is to give the wrong one haha
His father has been in a few videos without speaking, just seems like he doesn’t want to be on camera (I definitely wouldn’t if someone around me was a vlogger). Will set him up with a joke once like he always does with his mom but his father just sat there quietly then it cut to the next scene 😅

I really believe Jeff fueled an entire generation of fitness addicts. Glad to see his plans add up to his content.
They also happen to be very weak as well because Jeff has no clue what progressive overload is lol
@Joshua Schmidt I would never have him train athletes
@@masonmalaguti3463 good thing your not the one picking who trains athletes then, cuz he's trained plenty phenomenal ones.
@@wishfull3nigma
Him being a PT for good athletes does not mean they're good athletes just because he's their trainer. The best way to judge his training methods is to look at the methods themselves and then the performance of the athletes after some time working under those methods.
It's also incredibly easy to dupe new/clueless athletes/lifters, which is at all times the majority of people training. Just look at V-Shred: over a million clueless subscribers. His deceptive marketing and inferior training is just more obvious than Athlean-X's
@@JoeyCentral , wrong!
love your content bro, the dirty jokes along with the quality information make you one of the most elite fitness youtubers out there
Appreciate that! Thanks!
Dude, I friggen love your videos. I can sit here and binge your videos like a goddamn Netflix show. A lot of these fitness dudes take themselves way too seriously. I love your fun and down-to-earth approach to your videos. Keep up the great work, man. Truly an inspiration.
The slow mo of will eating the cheese string is content enough, I feel satisfied now
You didn't know you needed it until you saw it😄
That was very unique young man. To take one of Jeff Cavalieres programs record it, and put it on youtube, brilliant i say. Ive been on fence about purchasing a program for some reason. No doubt now i will be purchasing one very soon. Thanx for that, keep up the great training. And as Jeff would say, stay strong! (Btw, if i eat all that, ill gain 5lbs)
I love this TH-camr. One of the only ones I watch anymore, cause he’s ACTUALLY funny. Please don’t stop posting
All the love. All the power
A good video but I was so put off by the title itself, such a unnecessary stir of drama
Jeff's videos are really helpful for someone looking to get rid of joint or muscle pains while working out. For example, rotating cuff tear, quadricep tendonitis etc.
I was sipping milk when Will said "if you drink straight milk you're a monster" I couldn't believe my ears is it just the weed or
I was waiting for you to try one of his workouts! I’ve bought a couple of his programs…they are definitely worth it 👍🏻
I was doing pretty well with the beginners athletic training program and lost about 10 pounds in a month and a half and started seeing gains pretty quickly. Unfortunately that came to a halt when I sprained my ankle at work and moved into a house shortly after (life stuff), but I liked the program so much I bought the body building program as well and plan on doing that soon.
Glad to know that Jeff's programs reflect his channel, I was afraid it was a shitty program like we see on many "expect" channels.
I also watched a lot of Athlean-X while growing up, I attribute 40% of what I know fitness related to it
Ay Will, you should train with Larry Wheels some time
That would be sick
That would be sick.
Edit : I didnt know will commented that lol
I bet he Will some time
@@fatmanvidz haha, savage

Thanks for a great review! I’ve been following Jeff for six years on and off but always come back to Jeff. It’s a little tough following his nutrition program since I’m on a limited income now (retired and 72!) but I can still do his workouts: Athlean 1/2, Core 4, and Ultimate Arms. Your video is very inspiring and is Jeff. Thank you for the diet tips!
Me: Buys a training program.
Athlean-X: Buying a program is KILLING YOUR GAINS!
lmao 😂
The thing i like about will is that he is completely unbiased in his reviews, keep up the good work bro 💪
you have no idea if Jeff wrote him a check for this video
@@tannerlong8301 doubtful. Even if Jeff’s recent uploads have been of lower quality compared to his previous stuff, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s pretty knowledgeable when it comes to exercise science and programming. You can check out Will’s other reviews (even the one with V-Shred) and he remains pretty unbiased throughout his reviews.
Oh good, I'm not the only one who wears goggles while cutting onions. My old swim goggles live in the drawer behind the cutlery caddy.
Ditto and recently began utilizing a spare covid mask. No more tears!
“Why doing the ATHLEAN X program is killing your gains”
I bought an Athlean X program years ago during covid and it's what got me into (consistent, gym-centered) fitness. It was a bodyweight only program that I got during covid and it was absolutely BRUTAL. I wonder if I went back and did it now if I would have an easier time with it.
Thanks for the video, Ive been following Jeffs stuff for a year now. Those leg exercises are awesome. They were recommended to me when I was training for Everest Basecamp. I did the same but 4x12 each leg with 15 pounds (weight of your day pack). It was the best. My legs were still (annoyingly) skinny but i made it up to 18500ft and down no problems!
Great video subbed and liked. I am currently on the Athlean X program now. It’s my second time doing the program. Well worth the money.
One thing i will say about Will is that I admire the way he cooks his meals! A young Ramsay in the making
I love Jeff and the training he provides! My personal experience is that I don’t even worry about food I just eat good and keep working out and it works for me..I have never been worried about scales.
AthleanX wins!!!!
This guy litterealy just told me he doesn’t have a core, did you see his fricking OHP?
We need to see Mama Tenny more often in those intros!😍
i bet thats ur gamertag on blizzard too
When Will’s set of overhead press for 10-12 reps is what I normally hit for a set of 3 😔😂. Nice job bro!
These workout and diet routines Are great if you are independently wealthy and have the whole day to do whatever you want without any responsibilities other than eating and working out
omg so true. As soon as I saw the Mercedes I was out lol
@@LemonToGo Yeah people see bodybuilders and want to emulate them e.g. without all the drug use. But what they don’t realize is for most bodybuilders they made a lot of personal sacrifices especially years ago. Kind of like Rocky in the first film. Many times it took some sort of sponsorship and or mentorship for them to truly realize their potential. This was how Arnold made it. Sure he had a great natural physique because his genetics were amazing. But also once Joe Weider discovered him he had him trained in the best gyms and under the care of doctors who helped give him his pedigree with dosing of steroids and other drugs. Still his determination and genes are what he’ll make this happen.
Nowadays We live in such a decadent society that most people want to find a short path to this kind of life they have a lot of money and time and little to do with it so videos like these get made. I would be much more impressed if there was a video made by a young man living with his mom in a cheap apartment trying to work and help her make ends meet while trying to eek out A little bit of time and money to eat properly and get some training in.
With smart working, a pullup bar and some weights you can do all of this at home
Wow... Will really enjoyed putting things in his mouth in slow motion during this video 😂
Will, do Tia Clair Toomey-fittest CrossFit female full day of eating and training, looks very interesting
do you mean tranboloni sandwich 5 times a day?
Momma Tenny............Why did you cut it like that??? LMAO, if she only knew!!
I thought you were joking about your lack of core. Props to actually showing the struggles. Even though I’m out of shape I can tell when someone has a strong core.
i've been doing athlean x programs for about 5 years now and i highly recommend it! and those dumbbell high pulls hurt so good
What’s funny to me is people call him non natty but will is so natty he’ll piss in your shoe to prove it😂
Easy to spot he's natty... Just look at his shoulders.
Honestly, if it's a food item that comes from the outer rings of the grocery store, it genuinely is nearly impossible to overeat.
I often have 4 chicken breast tenderloins (it equals about 1 whole breast) and 4 cups of mixed broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. I feel stuffed to the absolute gills from it...barely 500 calories.
You're way off on your calorie count there unless you're just boiling the chicken and not adding any fat to your vegetables. Most people cook and consume those things with fat added. If you've got about 30 g (~2 tablespoons) of butter for those four cups of vegetables, that's 200 calories. If you've got a 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of oil to pan fry that chicken that's another 240 calories. The chicken breast is 280 calories and the vegetables are about 120 calories. That's 840 calories how most people would prepare it. It's not a bad calorie count for all that food, but this is the reason why people undercount their calories and wonder why they're getting fat.
someone's gotta make a Will Tennyson sus compilation
That would be more than 4 hours
Should make it with him and Maxx Chewning Actually they would make the perfect couple together. They just haven’t met lol
@@eighterfromdecatur they did a video together last month
I like and appreciate Jeff because he’s kind what got me into working out, but I once bought his program, trained my ass off and ate the way he said to ate and I gained 15 pounds and I didn’t like my physique. I ate “healthy” but since He said to not count your calories, I didn’t and in the process probably ate too much without realizing it
Same happened to me. Now I follow Jeff Cavaliere but count my macros.
@@algon1986 same. I already basically know what I’m doing so I’ll just watch Nippard, doucette and athleaen x whenever I need some more clarification or whatever
You get what you put into it. I count everything and lost 42 pounds in the last 2 and a half months from his program.
I love that Will praises Athlene X overall, while the rest of the fitness industry rips him constantly. I have also always thought Jeffs stuff is far from terrible.
When I started my fitness journey I ate every 3 hours. It was great to start with to get my eating under control but after a few months it was too tedious to keep up with. Eating every 2 hours would be a pain.
you clearly arent ready to do whatever it takes
Just do a 1 rep max session. Having all 7.5 meals at once is far less tedious and the results are astonishing
@@blankspace3511 It has been proven time and time again that it doesn't matter when you eat as long as your getting calories needed. Jeff's plan has it spaced out like this to help keep you from getting hungry throughout the day.
Dude, you should try Olympic Weightlifting some time. It's one of the few disciplines I have never seen you doing but I think you'd love it.
Mama Tenny in the intro standing with resting abs. I wish. Where’s the AB workout routine mama tenny??!!?? We need it LOL
10 Reps of putting the fork down
You've finally earned my subscription. The jokes are right in my wheelhouse and I enjoy watching the videos!
train like an athlete rather than a bodybuilder--i feel like that's gonna cut into my walking around the gym listening to t-swift time.
17:44 The little hesitation from him thinking whether to say it or not made me nearly choke on my food from laughing
“Mom, did you get these peaches out in Georgia? I just like to get it from the source yeah…” 😂
I hope you do the whole program and tell us thoughts on the challenges and the entire program as a whole. The meal plan is good for helping newbies weed out eating poor food choices but counting calories is a must eventually.
Not sure how your dad, Greg, would approve of this
We adore momma tenny!
The peach and cheese segment had me in tears.
he sure milked it 😂
Love the swaps for the diet, seems very sustainable
Fun fact: Cavaliere means Horseman in Italian
Fun fact, it means a gentleman in Croatian.
Same thing in English and French
😏🐎🧔🏻
Ahh as in “Cavalry” Words are fun.
@@ivazzzz688 Probably because only gentlemen of the officer class were mounted on horses during battle. Makes sense
Wow, imagine a personal trainer and physical therapist knowing how to help people maintain a healthy lifestyle and get in shape if you follow the program, put in full effort and not be lazy and eat like crap? …who knew…..?
OBVIOUSLY, Jeff knows what he’s doing!
I waiting for the day Jeff Cavalier and Will Tennyson meet. If anyone in the fitness community would meet with Jeff it probably be Will
Agreed…. the association with Greg might be an issue though.
Jeff is the one guy that i trust most in youtube in regards to form and fitness as well as joint health!
I'm actually on week 11 of these program and my man it is brutal. You owe it to yourself to see this whole program through. It gets much more challenging later on
Did you stick with it?
How were the results?
And did you follow the nutrition part as well or "only" the exercise one?
@@markusz4447 I did finish it, and went back through it on a higher difficulty. It's my all time favorite program. The result was me being the strongest all around I've ever been. I did not follow the nutrition because that part of the program was kind of busted, but I tend to eat very high protein, lots of veggies and no sugar. Buy it, do it, you'll feel like an animal.
@@WheelieBad Thanks for the quick ant thorough response!
Congrats that you are happy with it.
Would you mind elaborating what you meen by busted?
Also quick question... I have experience with weights but there are not more than perhaps 20 exercises in my repertoire... Might the number and difficulty of the (many) different ones in the programm be too much/confusing?
Thinking about giiving it a try.
@@markusz4447 I don't think so, there are videos on movements if you don't know them. The nutrition side of the website just wasn't very smooth for me. I do recommend the program though.
You on base beaxst or total beaxst?
So the last time i was here…you didn’t have someone recording you. That’s some progress right there brother 😎😎😎
If the program doesn't have face pulls, it's not an athlean x program
Haha I was shocked
I wonder if Will"s dad is worried for all the attention Will's mom has 😂
Has Wills dad ever been mentioned? Dude might be out of the picture in one way or another.
@@floridamanHooning yeah, he mentioned him couple of times. Even shown his face when he was doing mount Everest in his house type challenge
@@floridamanHooning Yeah he was mentioned in the mt everest video but who knows why his dad is barely mentioned/seen but probably none of our business
@@addison_1661 oh, cool, I just recently got one so I haven't really scrolled through people's stuff just yet lol... This goes to show that the quickest way to get the answer is to give the wrong one haha
His father has been in a few videos without speaking, just seems like he doesn’t want to be on camera (I definitely wouldn’t if someone around me was a vlogger). Will set him up with a joke once like he always does with his mom but his father just sat there quietly then it cut to the next scene 😅
Will: Mom, did you get the peaches out from Georgia?
Now I have that song stuck in my head 😂
For the algorithm ❤️
Will nobody mention how awesome that "Call Me By Your Name" reference was? Or maybe it wasn't a CMBYN reference and my mind is just f*ed up. Anyway, Will, I recently found your channel and I am really enjoying the content. The constant stream of innuendo and dirt jokes even bring a smirk to my face from time to time (I am German, so humour is not really a thing).
Love your videos you’ve inspired me to start lifting weights and working hard to achieve my dream physique I’ve also learnt a lot about nutrition from your Channel 🙏🏽
Awesome man! Happy I can help! 💪🏼😊
I love the title it totally grabs you lol. I love Jeff and all of his videos! He seriously has helped me with so much of my shoulder and back issues! I can't afford his program, but when I can I definitely want to try it out. But I watch a lot of his videos and do a lot of the exercises on those free videos and it's amazing! Thanks for the rundown on this though totally cool
Will & Derek from More Plates More Dates should do a collab video.
Was there ever a question. Come on, we are talking about Jeff!!! As a fellow member of AX, loved the review and the fresh look on your approach to the diet, definitely on point!
In 5 years time you will be the next Athleanx
Little less ripped and a little less knowledge. But I appreciate that
Does your mom have a workout routine she'd like to share? I need one bc I'm more like her than you (my sons are closer to your age and build!)
I think he said in a previous video his mom does HIIT workouts
@@A_-.328 hey thanks!
One of my fave fitness youtubers critiquing another of my faves… this is like hogan vs ultimate warrior again….
i owe so much thanks to Jeff for his knowledge and advise he has provided over the years. Dudes a fitness legend.
Btw i subbed to your channel.
@13:52 nice camera handover. Its so smooth that i didnt even notice it the first time. Coool!
That last snack looked like something my mom would make because of her pregnancy cravings 😭
Will: "... a few x's short of my usual online purchases ..." LOL
At least I got a whole day's worth of eating tips for free 😬😬
When he said those lines from peaches by JB to his mom , and her innocent reaction>>>
