Great vid jeff as are they all! You are the best,ive been following your advice for years now and its made a huge difference to how i train. Just wanted to let you know that the work you do is INCREDIBLE. Thank you 💪💪💪
Swole Father, Who art in heaven, Vascular be thine veins. Thy gainz come, Thy sets be done, Overhead as it is on chest. Give us this day our daily macros, And forgive our cheat days, As we forgive those who curl in the squat rack. Lead us not into half reps, But deliver us from Crossfit. For thine is the Bro, the PR, the natty Forever, Wheymen.
As a professor of technology, I teach my students not just how and why things work, but also the physics behind it. This is specifically why I like Jeff's videos. The full explanation (including the physics) on specific exercises and how to hit certain muscle groups, allows me to be better educated in developing my workout. The bonus is that it motivates me to 'mix up' my routine, incorporating new exercises, which in turn keeps things from getting stale. Outstanding!
He surly is a great teacher, one should have in mind though that this a discipline that one only can be mastered by experience, theoretical knowledge only takes You so far. But as You explain your self you develop this kind of experience alot faster that one normally would do thanks to his teachings... Personally, after just few hours of going trough athlene x videos basicly summed up everything i have learned in my 20 years of experience and more.. Its an understatement to say that listning to Jeff saves u shitload of time and work aswell as unnecussery injury that would been necessery to achive this knowledge through a fail and learn kind of approach that most of us did who didnt have internet and someone like Jeff the first ten years or so when beginning. I guess im basicly just sayin your instincts about Jeff is true.. But i suspects you view Jeff like Newtoninan revolutinon not yet to understand its actually Einstein thats infront, so prepare your mind for a even bigger blown to Come in The future, i shit u not.
1. Don't skip rear delts 2. Don't just do rear delts on shoulder day, add volume on back day 3. Don't do behind the neck press 4. Don't skip overhead pressing 5. Don't forget to include light weight work 6. Honour the eccentric part of rep 7. Don't ignore bodyweight exercises for shoulders 8. Don't skip his favourite shoulder exercise (some weird front raise up and across) 9. Don't skip a shoulder workout because it's injured 10. Don't do upright rows
Light weight isnt really ever a bad thing. Light weight and correct form will bring gains. I promise. Its especially good if you're doing light weight with alot of reps to lose body fat.
Try lateral raises in the cable machine. I strict press 60kg+ for reps (not amazing by any means but it's decent), yet I use like 5kg on the cable raises. Maybe the weight stack or levers here are fucked though.
Jeff I gotta say, my man, you have helped me exponentially more than any other video I've seen, in regards to both making steady progress as well as preventing my lifting from causing injury. I fall into the category of guys who do too much without any rest, and since following your advice I've done my best to take more rest days (most active rest days) and taken steps to eat healthier. Keep up the great work, and thank you.
So this video has 415 dislikes!!! Who would dislike this video..... We are lucky to be in an age where such useful information is available 24/7 for free. Thanks Jeff. I learn something new and useful each time I see a video of yours!
It takes a lot of courage to wake up and go to the gym but it takes a whole another level of courage to keep on exercising with Jesse watching your soul.
"Upright rows?!? Thou art no child of my blood! I cast thee out, do not return until thou hast learned the error of thy disgusting ways!" - Jeff Cavaliere, year 44 A.C
I have a suggestion. The is about the exercise against the wall that Jeff demonstrates in this video ate 10:10 I do this while in the shower and do this against the wall as I'm actually taking one. I lather up my arms with soap so they glide easily up against the shower wall. I actually lean back into the wall a bit but my entire weight of my body is supported by my forearms only. My back is only an inch or so from the wall as I perform this movement from forearms as low as I can place them until they are over my head as in Jeff's video. I didn't start off doing this exercise my way at first. Initially, I was in such severe pain (for months!) that I thought I was going to need some type of arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder joint. It was getting to the point that I couldn't even take off my T-shirts without experiencing a lot of sharp pain. But after doing this exercise in the video I noticed a tremendous reduction in pain. Then I tried it my way in the shower and now I'm almost completely pain free. It's now a party of my daily routine. Thanks a million, Jeff! You rock!
Very cool idea. I have a tremendous amount of shoulder pain, so I can hardly get a button up shirt on. I’m going to give your shower version of this exercise a try. Thanks!
Jeff you have helped me so much. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge with us regularly. 3 years ago i was a hair over 300 lbs. Today i am still not where i want to be, but a much more solid 225. Ive seen many videos on this sort of thing, but you put the why behind the how, and it allows me to know better what to focus on. Again, thank you!!
I'm a couple of years late but good job brother! I went from 258 lbs down to 202 but regressed and am currently back to 225 lb and getting below 200 lbs seems so far away and such a enormous task.
I had a problem in my left shoulder. Never had it figured out or diagnosed. I just trusted Jeff, did ALL HIS shoulder exercises (especially focusing on the rear delts) 10 months later my left shoulder is as good as my right. No pain, no impingement, much more mobility, and so much stronger. THANK YOU JEFF SO MUCH
Seriously Jeff, thank you! I’ve had 3 shoulder surgeries in the past 4 years and have seen 4 different physical therapists, all for labrum tears and biceps tendinitis. I’ve paid tens of thousands of dollars to fix this shoulder and to me, regaining the use of it is worth almost any price and here you are giving me BETTER advice for free. You’re making me second guess my future career path of becoming a dentist as I believe the world needs more PTs like you!

Did you sort it out? Cuz im always getting to a dead end cuz my shoulder pain gets so bad, it wakes me up fron my sleep and i have to get up and m9ve it around. Would love any advice on this matter
im slightly bent, nothing too serious. (yet?) its not interfering with the workouts. but i want to know what should i do about it to maybe stop it from getting serious and lifting safely while doing that
Gwan Natar it is not that easy, you have to check why the scoliosis occured, for example mine was because I have a leg length discrepancy, yours could be because that or muscle imbalances. I recommend you check thoroughly within your body to check the reason behind it
you are the best there is out there ! Thank you for making all this , you are the top of the fitness industry and your vids are top of the line .. very easy, simple and helpful !
I've been following your workouts for almost a year now. Can't thank you enough for all the tips and useful workouts. Honestly made a difference in my life. Thanks Jeff.
I wish I watched this a month earlier. After watching and reading several different sources, I'm certain that I have developed a shoulder impingement. However, with the postural fixes and face pulls, along with a couple of relieving exercises I've found from some other physical therapist sources, I've made a significant recovery in just under a week. I couldn't even reach for a glass of water without feeling severe pain, but now I'm nearly pain free. I know I still have some work to do, and this video shows me exactly where I need to go. Thank you so much Jeff.
I totally dig the check your ego at the door philosophy....I wish my football coaches would have taught me that back in the days, instead of heavier is better with zero emphasis on proper technique. So my shoudlers are crap...but I still lift and because of Jeff I have found ways around my issues!!
I love heavy shoulder day. I have had a few shoulder injuries in the past and this video is great. Thank you. I get the popping from an AC joint from years ago. The posture thing against the wall is great. I also agree the upright row is terrible in terms of injury. Great job on this video
I injured my left shoulder in a bicycle accident last Fall. Your videos have been a great help in my healing process, and I have gained strength in the meantime. Many, many thanks.
Jeff, I definitely love when you show us the exercises that we should not do that will harm us. Please give us more. Very helpful information. Thanks again, Jeff.👍👍👍
Guy I don't want you to feel bad, but you really need to work on your diet and training. Yes- you're ripped, but you literally have NO muscles. i mean I can look right through you. ;)
I seriously couldn't understand why Jeff says no to behind neck presses. If you look at old school bodybuilder , it was their favorite exercise. Reg park always did behind the neck presses. Why nothing happened to him.
Please make more commandment style videos! I think the most valuable thing about these videos is that you educate people on what NOT to do while working certain groups. Before this video, I had been doing the bad exercises you mentioned without knowing they were bad for the body! Thanks again, I think its really great that you helped us learn about what exercises to avoid to maintain healthy shoulders. Please do more commandment videos if you can, this one helped me a ton!
Thank you for this video. I've been dealing with shoulder issues for years, and have avoided exercises to this area thinking I'm helping it heal. Today, I went back to the gym and decided to work on upper strength targeting my shoulders and arms, and have felt some pain again. Now I know what to do, and will definitely not stop my workout as I've done in the past. Thanks again!
Jeff, you're the man. Your contet saves lives, it's a public service. The madly expanding fitness community here in Brazil would greatly benefit from portuguese subs, your work is incomparable. Thanks for healing my shoulders, back to max gains!
You work so hard for us. Thank you so much for your guidance and courage of character to literally PRESS ON and give every detail of information you know about muscle movement and muscle building.
Thank you for the shoulder fix (back to the wall, raising arms, keeping elbows and the backs of the hands touching the wall.). I tried it and it works.
I wonder if Jeff is Jewish too, especially since is saw his kitchen has two ovens and his fridge Arena to be seperated into a milk section and a meat section.
I love the no-bullshit approach to most videos and Jeff's got a good sense of humor too... so when an x-factor video like this comes in that provides serious value and gives a great laugh, too... man. It's a pleasure to learn from you. Thanks for doing what you were born to do.
10:15 I just audibly said YES and gave my computer a thumbs up. I learned this exercise from a PT with extensive education / residencies. I do these often in between sets on leg day. 20 reps is really all you need, three times.
Great video Jeff, since I've incorporated your tips it's made a massive difference. You've helped my tennis and golfers elbow, my rotator cuff problem and helped me to train smarted around my injuries. Thank you from a 47yr old who was not training smart for many years.
Excellent video. Learned a lot I did have a labrul tear. Complete tear I did 5 rounds of prolo therapy and the tear healed entirely. And I mean my shoulder popped with every motion and I couldn't lift it even 90 degrees Idk how much you know about it but once you receive the treatment you are supposed to use your shoulder to maintain full range of motion. If you still feel it at all I highly recommend it
Jeff you are the best. Been watching a couple years and got the program for me and my teen son so he learns the right way instead of the "bro" way. Invest in yourself and you never lose.
I destroyed my right shoulder in a bad fall, I had surgery and a bicep slap repair. I took years to start getting back into shape, I am really grateful for these videos, they are helping me avoid doing more damage.
I am not an obsessed trainer or even athlete, but I like to keep myself in some sort of shape to counter the endless hours I spend at work on a computer as a commercial graphic artist/web and interactive designer. I have checked out many channels, and most have at least something to offer. But many also offer flat out bad advice. But your videos I get really really incredibly useful information from , and you clearly illustrate what to do, and also what NOT to do, and explain it all clearly. Then you get to business. Thank you for sharing your thorough knowledge, expertise and logic. It has helped me a lot in in the last few days with both upper body muscle imbalances, and lower lumbar disc/sciatica issues.
Jeff is the best at explaining how the body works, I've followd his routine for only two weeks now, I have had more gains and strength than the previous six months combined, his system works..
Split I think. I workout 3 days a week with an A workout and a B workout. Today was legs, shoulders, lats, biceps and triceps. Day after tomorrow will be legs, chest, back, abs and obliques.
I love the fact that Jeff explains what is happening in your body as you do an exercice, and doesnt just limit himself to tell you the exercices he recommends you to do
Great vid! As a Pilates instructor, the "zipper" aka upright row has been in my lexicon for decades. Until now. Will be exchanging the U.R with the improved external rotation exercise. I appreciate this channel so much, and love to pay it forward.
Hey athlean X could you do a video focused on the supraspinatus as I'm quite a lean guy with boney shoulders and I need to strengthen around them as much as possible, would be greatly appreciated. 👍
Thanks Jeff, for this video. I will add this to what you have taught in other shoulder videos. The 30 degree angle has literally saved my shoulders for 2 years now I have regianed strenght slowly and with low weight in my damaged rotators! Now let's go hit it!!!
Best info I've ever seen on body building "correctly." Wish I had gotten this info 30 years ago. I tore both rotator cuffs (behind the neck pulldowns and upright rows) and have chronic tendonitis in both elbows from construction work. My shoulders are better but I'm still having alot of problems with my elbows; I can't get anywhere near exhaustion on bicep work without my tendonitis causing me grief. I'd love to see a video on elbow tendonitis, please. I know I can't be the only one with this problem.
Cliff Rossberg I had the same issue and added rotator cuff work which made all popping go away after about a month. Jeff also mentions this in the video
Love this series...the demo of the back and arms against the wall was almost painful...it is the best preventative exercise for shoulders I have ever done...got only 4 reps in...Thanks Jeff...really really good.
Hello Jeff!! I'm a 15 year old guy that recently started working out at a gym. My right pec has the shape of a square, which looks really good! But my left pec "cuts" of to the left, a bit like your left pec except mine is waaay worse:( I remember you mentioned that your muscle insertion is that way because your ribcage is asymmetrical. I dont know in what video. And I recently noticed that the left side of my ribcage sticks out further than my right. How can this be a cause of weird muscle insertions? The ribcage asymmetry is not that awful, but I certainly notice it. But the pec looks awful in my opinion:( I feel like I never will be able to build a nice body with my bad insertions:( It's a shame because both my brothers have perfect, fused pecs with a perfectly straight six-pack, which makes me even more depressed because it just shows that my family have the "bodybuilding genetics" but I hot awful ones.... Please help me. I can send pictures of the pecs!! THANKS!
Joshua Ashagre you're still young man just keep working your chest and it'll fill out over time and it'll be less noticeable. Also just be the best you can be. I've seen body builders with literally one single pec muscle and they looked great and didn't give a fuck about it and it never slowed them down. We're all different man!
Joshua Ashagre, chill dude, you're still young and everything will fill out by the time you're 20. When I was your age I had a similar thing from playing tennis, my right pec was more developed and in a better shape than my left. The type of sports you play have an impact on how your body's muscles form. Maybe that helps?
Thanks, both of you! I think that its just genetics that decides what your muscle Insertions eill be like. But the sports that one do can of course have an impact on your muscles wich can cause muscle imbalances. Im not really worried about muscle imbalances. It's really only the asymmetrical muscle insertions I'm worried about because it looks awful in my opinion
Jeff, or anyone else, I'm a 14 year old male and I have about 20%-30% fat. I really like your youtube videos because of how help full they are. So, I am thinking about getting the Athlean-x training program. I can do most exercises correctly, but I can't do a single push up or pull up. I have access to a pair of dumbells, a kettle bell and a skipping rope. Should I buy the program or not? It would be really help full if anyone replied!
Gav hey bro, since you're 14 it's hard to really say what you should and shouldn't do since you aren't fully developed yet. However if you are 20-30% body fat and you can't do a single push up, it's normal. That 10% is a big range difference though. Try finding a workout plan that works with what you have. Bodyweight exercises sound perfect for you right now. For example, push ups are perfect for chest, shoulders and triceps, because it has multiple variations. Try the standard push up about shoulder width apart bending your elbows about 90 degrees. If you can only do 1, then put your knees on the ground for an assisted push up, but not right underneath you. Aim for about 10- 15 each set and do 2-3 sets since you're just starting. Pull ups are a whole other ball game. I wasn't able to do a single one no matter my fitness until I was about 15-16. If you really want to though, try negatives at first. If you have something to hold yourself off the ground with your hands shoulder width apart, jump up into the upright position with your chin above the bar, and then try and resist gravity and lower your body as slow as you can. Do it until it burns so you don't over do it. I'd say do 2 sets. Eventually you'll be able to do a pull up. Keep at it buddy, and I believe in you. I was always really skinny when I was younger, and I was what they call a hardgainer until I finished puberty. I just couldn't gain weight or muscle easily. But I did it, so you can too. If you have anymore questions, feel free to reply or pm me. Have fun with the gains :)
would absolutely love to see and hear more 10 commandments. It really is amazing to see how many things I've been doing so wrong for years, I learn something new almost everytime I watch a video of yours. thank you for this.

Jaxblade!!!! I love your workout videos!!
agreed....how ever isnt that the exact same as a behind the neck press just without a bar
When you won't forget to include light weights, because you can only do light weights
imme huitema lol It’s relative to your ability anyway.
Don’t worry tho, you’ll progress and get up there with your numbers before you know it.
Light weight isnt really ever a bad thing. Light weight and correct form will bring gains. I promise. Its especially good if you're doing light weight with alot of reps to lose body fat.
@@taylorsfishingchannel7259 Is it bad I never go over 5kg on side lateral raises? I do them slowly
@@hiddenlife4906 no, why? If you start from arms and dumbells slighlty outside your body, not in front of you and dont swing, it's a good weight.
Try lateral raises in the cable machine.
I strict press 60kg+ for reps (not amazing by any means but it's decent), yet I use like 5kg on the cable raises. Maybe the weight stack or levers here are fucked though.

Adding even two of these shoulder work outs make a difference.
The wall stretch helps my shoulder popping .
This video should be seen by all.
I have a suggestion. The is about the exercise against the wall that Jeff demonstrates in this video ate 10:10
I do this while in the shower and do this against the wall as I'm actually taking one. I lather up my arms with soap so they glide easily up against the shower wall. I actually lean back into the wall a bit but my entire weight of my body is supported by my forearms only.

May god bless your shoulder.
yup same here,
Did you sort it out? Cuz im always getting to a dead end cuz my shoulder pain gets so bad, it wakes me up fron my sleep and i have to get up and m9ve it around. Would love any advice on this matter
@@Kostadin_Arolski go to a specialist man, maybe its poor flexibility, how you sleep on it, weak stabilizers, etc.. shoulders are complex
I hope you have recovered by now
Jeff salvaged my damaged shoulder when I was contemplating resting it for months
Who else want the 10 commandments to have a follow for each muscle group?
Jeff, a video about fixing scoliosis (and lifting with it) please.
Gwan Natar how bad is your scoliosis
im slightly bent, nothing too serious. (yet?) its not interfering with the workouts. but i want to know what should i do about it to maybe stop it from getting serious and lifting safely while doing that
It's easy, just stop doing crossfit
Gwan Natar same here. In my lumbar and between my shoulder blades bends slightly "S" shaped.
Gwan Natar it is not that easy, you have to check why the scoliosis occured, for example mine was because I have a leg length discrepancy, yours could be because that or muscle imbalances.
I recommend you check thoroughly within your body to check the reason behind it

Guy I don't want you to feel bad, but you really need to work on your diet and training. Yes- you're ripped, but you literally have NO muscles. i mean I can look right through you. ;)
Thank you no behind neck presses!!!
They're unnecessary. Dumbbells overhead presses. do the same thing.
nor upright rows! I can vouch for this being a shoulder-killer
I seriously couldn't understand why Jeff says no to behind neck presses. If you look at old school bodybuilder , it was their favorite exercise. Reg park always did behind the neck presses. Why nothing happened to him.
Please make more commandment style videos! I think the most valuable thing about these videos is that you educate people on what NOT to do while working certain groups. Before this video, I had been doing the bad exercises you mentioned without knowing they were bad for the body! Thanks again, I think its really great that you helped us learn about what exercises to avoid to maintain healthy shoulders. Please do more commandment videos if you can, this one helped me a ton!
I love Jeff's videos about shoulders. It's so important and not many people are knowledgeable as Jeff.
another great video jeff keep up this amazing content
You didn't even watch the video yet you attention seeking moron.
i did watch it acc i saw half of it and thought to comment
TheFitnessPsycho boi video uploaded 29mins ago u commented 28mins ago
vincent just read what i last said
roller_47 EDGYYYYYYYY
Wow these are awsome! Please do this for all the muscles!
my body thanks you jeff.
Thank you for this video. I've been dealing with shoulder issues for years, and have avoided exercises to this area thinking I'm helping it heal. Today, I went back to the gym and decided to work on upper strength targeting my shoulders and arms, and have felt some pain again. Now I know what to do, and will definitely not stop my workout as I've done in the past. Thanks again!
Jeff, you're the man. Your contet saves lives, it's a public service. The madly expanding fitness community here in Brazil would greatly benefit from portuguese subs, your work is incomparable. Thanks for healing my shoulders, back to max gains!
Dang Jeff! You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge. I wish I would have known this so much sooner. God bless you man!
Good moves Jeff keep it up proud of you
thumbs up for jessie for the great editing.This channel got a hundred times better after he joined.
You work so hard for us. Thank you so much for your guidance and courage of character to literally PRESS ON and give every detail of information you know about muscle movement and muscle building.
Thank you for the shoulder fix (back to the wall, raising arms, keeping elbows and the backs of the hands touching the wall.). I tried it and it works.
I SWEAR TOMORROW IS MY SHOULDER DAY!!! Perfect timing
Im Jewish, and I thought this was awesome. Im calling my rabbi to see if we can have the bible updated
Scott Braun I'm Jewish too and my rabbi has added a whole other book to the Torah called אטלין-עקס
I'm tempted to get 2 stones made and have the rules imprinted
I wonder if Jeff is Jewish too, especially since is saw his kitchen has two ovens and his fridge Arena to be seperated into a milk section and a meat section.
*seams not Arena... btw I'm Jewish too
NatalieMigenda jeffs Italian, like, really Italian
How about a "Jeff answers" video in which he answers subscribers questions? Like if you agree?
I love the no-bullshit approach to most videos and Jeff's got a good sense of humor too... so when an x-factor video like this comes in that provides serious value and gives a great laugh, too... man. It's a pleasure to learn from you. Thanks for doing what you were born to do.
10:15 I just audibly said YES and gave my computer a thumbs up. I learned this exercise from a PT with extensive education / residencies. I do these often in between sets on leg day. 20 reps is really all you need, three times.
Ten commandments on chest
shut yo ass up and get back on doing those calisthenics a.k.a poll dance for those who cant get big
Deemon got me 😂
Deemon got me, fuck outta here wit your bullshit lmao. Look at lazar novovic, BUILD THRU CALISTHENICS ONLY
Just checked out your chanel, great vids man! keep it up
No, 10 commandments on quads
Make this a series!
Back levers.
Great video Jeff, since I've incorporated your tips it's made a massive difference. You've helped my tennis and golfers elbow, my rotator cuff problem and helped me to train smarted around my injuries. Thank you from a 47yr old who was not training smart for many years.
Excellent video. Learned a lot
I did have a labrul tear. Complete tear I did 5 rounds of prolo therapy and the tear healed entirely.
And I mean my shoulder popped with every motion and I couldn't lift it even 90 degrees
Idk how much you know about it but once you receive the treatment you are supposed to use your shoulder to maintain full range of motion. If you still feel it at all I highly recommend it
Do a video on 10 deadly sins of leg day
What's a leg day?
Dylan It's a myth
ash Ketchum There is only one. Don't do a leg day, do a full body day
It's so true, when this video came out I was avoiding doing shoulders, but knew I needed to do it the right way.
Damn it, just got back from a shoulder workout, come back and see this video
Jeff you are the best. Been watching a couple years and got the program for me and my teen son so he learns the right way instead of the "bro" way. Invest in yourself and you never lose.
I destroyed my right shoulder in a bad fall, I had surgery and a bicep slap repair. I took years to start getting back into shape, I am really grateful for these videos, they are helping me avoid doing more damage.
Great video, can you do chest version?
Jeff so shredded you can see his muscle works perfectly without using a fake man for demonstrating
I am not an obsessed trainer or even athlete, but I like to keep myself in some sort of shape to counter the endless hours I spend at work on a computer as a commercial graphic artist/web and interactive designer. I have checked out many channels, and most have at least something to offer. But many also offer flat out bad advice. But your videos I get really really incredibly useful information from , and you clearly illustrate what to do, and also what NOT to do, and explain it all clearly. Then you get to business. Thank you for sharing your thorough knowledge, expertise and logic. It has helped me a lot in in the last few days with both upper body muscle imbalances, and lower lumbar disc/sciatica issues.
Jeff is the best at explaining how the body works, I've followd his routine for only two weeks now, I have had more gains and strength than the previous six months combined, his system works..
Jeff is back to put strength back in science !
Literally just came back from the gym, hitting shoulders today, to see this video in my sub box. Its pretty spooky how he can do that.
MrAppleman97 same here lmao
Same here. Considering the amount of people who will see this, it's not weird att all. Not spooky just very likely to happen sometimes
MrAppleman97 shoulder day or a split?
Yo same here 😂
Split I think. I workout 3 days a week with an A workout and a B workout.
Today was legs, shoulders, lats, biceps and triceps.
Day after tomorrow will be legs, chest, back, abs and obliques.
14:20 first time I've ever seen you smile Jeff..LOL
I love the fact that Jeff explains what is happening in your body as you do an exercice, and doesnt just limit himself to tell you the exercices he recommends you to do
Great vid!
As a Pilates instructor, the "zipper" aka upright row has been in my lexicon for decades. Until now. Will be exchanging the U.R with the improved external rotation exercise.
I appreciate this channel so much, and love to pay it forward.
Hey athlean X could you do a video focused on the supraspinatus as I'm quite a lean guy with boney shoulders and I need to strengthen around them as much as possible, would be greatly appreciated. 👍
I wish athlean x women had comparable content to what Jeff offers. Oh well, I'll just keep watching here 💁
There's a ladies version?! 😳😳
I think overall his advice applies to women as well. Y’all build muscle the same way we do
tlhfirelion no one injects creatine, you eat it moron.
@@robhost4271 Dang, I've been doing it wrong!
@@Couchlover47 nah they snort it fam
Your content is literally saving me from myself!! thank you!
Thanks Jeff, for this video. I will add this to what you have taught in other shoulder videos. The 30 degree angle has literally saved my shoulders for 2 years now I have regianed strenght slowly and with low weight in my damaged rotators! Now let's go hit it!!!
Best info I've ever seen on body building "correctly." Wish I had gotten this info 30 years ago. I tore both rotator cuffs (behind the neck pulldowns and upright rows) and have chronic tendonitis in both elbows from construction work. My shoulders are better but I'm still having alot of problems with my elbows; I can't get anywhere near exhaustion on bicep work without my tendonitis causing me grief. I'd love to see a video on elbow tendonitis, please. I know I can't be the only one with this problem.
Guess what day it is tommorow...wish me luck boys
Garbage day
Leg day
Brain day?
Arnan LOL
Fap day
Jeff takes better care of me than my wife.
Miles Adams lol such an underrated comment
Miles Adams hope things are okay at home buddy
What about popping, clicking etc, that doesn't impinge range of motion and is pain free?
Cliff Rossberg Rules is, if it doesn't hurt, it isn't a serious issue.
Cliff Rossberg I had the same issue and added rotator cuff work which made all popping go away after about a month. Jeff also mentions this in the video
TheatreofSymphony wtf
I am recovering from a torn Labrum. This video is awesome, can't thank you enough Jeff. Please continue this series.
The video was buffering and didn't even start yet and I already liked the video. That's how much Jeff's videos help me with my routines
"Do not do the upright row"
Yikes. I found this video just in time.
Welp, I guess I am converting to Athlean--x-ism. Let thy gains be righteous.
The moment I saw that thumbnail....
Love this series...the demo of the back and arms against the wall was almost painful...it is the best preventative exercise for shoulders I have ever done...got only 4 reps in...Thanks Jeff...really really good.
Ive been able to transform my body thanks to Jeff. Jeff is the man!! Love all your videos man! Been subbed to your channel for like two years i think
How to get bigger quads next pleasee!
'Thou shall not skip rear delts' rear delts are the legs of the upper body
Hello Jeff!! I'm a 15 year old guy that recently started working out at a gym. My right pec has the shape of a square, which looks really good! But my left pec "cuts" of to the left, a bit like your left pec except mine is waaay worse:( I remember you mentioned that your muscle insertion is that way because your ribcage is asymmetrical. I dont know in what video. And I recently noticed that the left side of my ribcage sticks out further than my right. How can this be a cause of weird muscle insertions? The ribcage asymmetry is not that awful, but I certainly notice it. But the pec looks awful in my opinion:( I feel like I never will be able to build a nice body with my bad insertions:( It's a shame because both my brothers have perfect, fused pecs with a perfectly straight six-pack, which makes me even more depressed because it just shows that my family have the "bodybuilding genetics" but I hot awful ones.... Please help me. I can send pictures of the pecs!!
THANKS!
Joshua Ashagre you're still young man just keep working your chest and it'll fill out over time and it'll be less noticeable. Also just be the best you can be. I've seen body builders with literally one single pec muscle and they looked great and didn't give a fuck about it and it never slowed them down. We're all different man!
Joshua Ashagre, chill dude, you're still young and everything will fill out by the time you're 20. When I was your age I had a similar thing from playing tennis, my right pec was more developed and in a better shape than my left. The type of sports you play have an impact on how your body's muscles form. Maybe that helps?
Thanks, both of you! I think that its just genetics that decides what your muscle Insertions eill be like. But the sports that one do can of course have an impact on your muscles wich can cause muscle imbalances. Im not really worried about muscle imbalances. It's really only the asymmetrical muscle insertions I'm worried about because it looks awful in my opinion
I love this man, AMD its so great that he acknowledges the comments
Yes to more commandment videos!!! Just getting back to working out and I’m keeping you in rotation!
Jeff sir plzz make the 10 “Commandments” series of all muscle groups
Jeff, or anyone else, I'm a 14 year old male and I have about 20%-30% fat. I really like your youtube videos because of how help full they are. So, I am thinking about getting the Athlean-x training program. I can do most exercises correctly, but I can't do a single push up or pull up. I have access to a pair of dumbells, a kettle bell and a skipping rope. Should I buy the program or not? It would be really help full if anyone replied!
Gav hey bro, since you're 14 it's hard to really say what you should and shouldn't do since you aren't fully developed yet. However if you are 20-30% body fat and you can't do a single push up, it's normal. That 10% is a big range difference though. Try finding a workout plan that works with what you have. Bodyweight exercises sound perfect for you right now. For example, push ups are perfect for chest, shoulders and triceps, because it has multiple variations. Try the standard push up about shoulder width apart bending your elbows about 90 degrees. If you can only do 1, then put your knees on the ground for an assisted push up, but not right underneath you. Aim for about 10- 15 each set and do 2-3 sets since you're just starting. Pull ups are a whole other ball game. I wasn't able to do a single one no matter my fitness until I was about 15-16. If you really want to though, try negatives at first. If you have something to hold yourself off the ground with your hands shoulder width apart, jump up into the upright position with your chin above the bar, and then try and resist gravity and lower your body as slow as you can. Do it until it burns so you don't over do it. I'd say do 2 sets. Eventually you'll be able to do a pull up. Keep at it buddy, and I believe in you. I was always really skinny when I was younger, and I was what they call a hardgainer until I finished puberty. I just couldn't gain weight or muscle easily. But I did it, so you can too. If you have anymore questions, feel free to reply or pm me. Have fun with the gains :)
I bought it, and it's great for beginners as well, you should do it, I can do 3 pull ups now! I used to not even do half of one!!
Spencer Bush Thank you so much for the advice and for believing in me! It really means so much even though I dont even know you! Thank you :)
I like this new style of videos, you should do the 10 commandments of every body part, and I am sure you will do it.
You have so much great content on the shoulder. Going through an injury has made me realize all i have been doing wrong so far.
would absolutely love to see and hear more 10 commandments. It really is amazing to see how many things I've been doing so wrong for years, I learn something new almost everytime I watch a video of yours. thank you for this.
This video went up to 11.
