Not getting where you think he should be going deeper to the "touch point" with the dumbbells. You taught me that rotates the rotator cuff out of the socket to an un-natural position and then loads it with too much weight. He is kinda doing what you used to teach isn't he by not going that deep ?
Shannon takes his meals with him cause he always says, "When you go to a restaurant or cafeterias, they cook for a group of people. In my kitchen I'm cooking just for me." He knows exactly what's in it and doesn't have to guess.
Its funny that a guy who is in the top 1% of the 1% of the 1% of the 1% of the 1% of the 1% of the 1% cannot be given the benefit of the doubt that he has top 0.0000001% genetics
Right..I went on vacation for 2 weeks in the Dominican. Didn’t do any working out and ate bad. Gain 16lbs. Came back home and felt weak as hell in the gym.
Shannon trained at a speed and agility facility that I worked at. This was around 2004. I’ve worked out with many NFL players during my time in the field, and Shannon maybe trained the hardest. He did sprint/footwork/plyo/agility work and lifted weights, nearly every day in the off-season. I believe him when he says he is clean. He just never stopped and has a ridiculous work ethic.
It’s the same with dudes in prison guys don’t seem to realize a lot of those jacked prisoners been down 5-10 years working out heavily everyday, just imagine a guy whose being doing squats,push ups, burpees and jump rope for 10 years everyday idc what genetics he got it’s gonna show
@jones1394 Nahhh, What you just said, You told yourself it is hard. If you tell yourself something enough, then you begin to internalize. What you internalize, you believe! Change your thinking, then you'll change your beliefs. Change your beliefs, then you change your life! If you say you can't, then you won't! All you have to do is keep telling yourself something, even if you don't believe it immediately. Keep saying it, and then you will begin to believe it, but it takes effort!
people forget genetics also determines behavior so to some extent he is gifted both physically and mentally. nonetheless the hard work and discipline is still required
As a 57 yr old woman who has been in full menopause for 6 yrs, get asked the same thing! What am I using!!! My answer is nutrition, weights, bodyweight and consistency!
I really like Jeff's approach to this format. He does the critique and the analysis but he also brings the recognition that people are dealing with different limitations and injuries and explains that there's good reasons oftentimes for doing movements that others might say are less than optimal
I'm just going out on a limb here, there was alot of disagreement between Jeff and Shannon, now I'm just curious as to see how I watched this video wrong because I haven't actually done anything else, and if there's one thing I've learnt from Jeff, its I did do something wrong😂😂😂
This might be my favorite video you've made. It's everything you've said before perfectly worded succinctly. I just shared it with a newbie buddy. You really are an under appreciated fitness youtuber and you helped me out of a plateau when you were my coach for 12 weeks. Thank you for being you.
i love the blind loyalty, his ffmi is 32 at 56 considering the top ever recorded is 27 at 33 considering test drops every year by 1.6percent it's completely a delusion
Shannon's comment about the locker room and the shared experience wasn't about enjoying the process or the grind per se. It was about going through it with other people. Jeff himself mentioned the camaraderie he felt as a trainer (23:59) for the Mets as a key factor in his being successful and enjoying the process while it was happening and not, as in this video, as somebody looking back philosophically years later. Get yourself a workout buddy, a workout coach, or start mentoring somebody in the gym. It will make the process SO much more rewarding and easier to be consistent with. The sum is greater than the parts when you work out with somebody who shares your goals. Shannon helped the Broncos win their first Super Bowl when I was 13 and living two hours from Denver. He was one of my sports gods. His biceps seemed unreal but were very motivating for an 8th grader just discovering the weight room. Thanks for this video, Jeff.
I was in the best shape of my life when working out with the other defensive backs and track guys like myself. There were 5 or 6 of us who did both. Year round training. When I lost that, and life's challenges came, I veered. I am not disciplined enough to do all that I was doing with those guys, on my own. At least not right now. I am drawing motivation (know every workout that I need to do and have every piece of equipment I need right in my training room), just a mental hurdle I have to clear since setting up my new house earlier this year. Don't ever want to be as jacked as Shannon. I'm 45 and 5'10" 220 right now. Don't really need to lose anything. I carry it mostly power half and wouldn't even want to be much below my previous ideal of 217. 210 lowest. I'm not terribly off the mark, because some people would look at me and wonder what I'm complaining about. Those who worked out with me would wonder what happened in the last 25 years LOL

@@ICandi-pq8wi I mean not everyone has the urge to prove things all the time and i like that, why should i care to prove something to strangers when it doesnt really affect anyone in negative way if i dont prove it. If i said "Im obese" would you ask for proof? Not everyone cares to prove something most people are just sharing their thoughs. Proving should be done in a case of serious accusations that could potentially ruin your life not to every internet troll that comes by.
There are certainly outliers out there, genetic freaks. Last week I saw a kid probably 16-17, across the street, while I was sipping on in a tea shop in Turkiye. The kid was about 6,2, wearing a tank top and shorts, I could tell he wasn't a gym goer, but he had muscular shoulders, calves almost to the point of someone who had been training at least 6 years natural, and his arms were as structured as many can not get in a couple of years. It was very obvious to me that he didn't lift, and it was the first time I saw someone with such a freaky genetic displayed through their muscular structure to the point, I thought of approaching him and sponsoring him for the rest of his life for the next 10 Mr. Olympia wins, but than I realized I am broke and will be broke. :))) (been a gym rat my self for so long, I always observe people, and this kid was the best freak of genetics I had seen so far in decades)
TO looks great Shannon looks insane. He looks better than great for 56. Like a 25 yr old that competes in shows. Not like a 56 yr old. Him and Hershel Walker the only two ageless vampires.
Shannon is one of if not the greatest Tight End of All Time. He changed the position. After he entered the game. Everyone was looking for another him. Shannon was a beast. He could take on your best Line Backers. While beating your best Corners ane Safeties. No steroids, just living right and working out properly.
Yeah but just cuz you in great shape doesn't mean you're smart and doesn't mean I have to listen to you on everything all that means is you're in good shape
I’ve been a huge fan of Shannon’s since back in his Denver Broncos / EAS days. Although I knew I would never look like him, he presented a goal to work towards. Planning on checking out his podcasts now. Thanks for highlighting Mr. Sharp.
one thing I thought was weird was even McCaffrey got ripped and was a string bean prior to the EAS days. but TD and Sharpe are both still muscular guys and have to believe they are some of the few genetic freaks. And believe me, I think most IG influencers are on tons of peds no matter what they "say".
Yeah if only you bought the same shoes, ate the same way, trained exactly how he tells you, you'll look just like John Cena, the Rock, or Jeff! LOL........Keep dreaming dude. The rest of us will be living better through chemistry and stay grounded in a healthy reality.
Jeff this has been one of the most encouraging videos that Ive watched. I've re-listened to his eating plan a number of times just to soak the simplicity and results into me. 55 years old, disciplined in his workouts and disciplined in his eating. He's jacked. I really didn't know much at all about Shannon Sharpe. I really admire him now. Thanks for a great video.
That was a great video, I’m about to turn 60 and my body fat percentage is around 5 to 6% very discipline in my eating and workout ! Keep making these good videos. I’ve been following you now for over five years now! Thank you! Thank you
@@RooseCochran And some people *don't* have to _"maintain their genetic gifts with training and nutritional discipline."_ Those are the people who can "eat whatever they want" and are still relatively lean. Or the people who "don't workout", yet are muscular. As well as some people who don't train but still have a high athletic endurance. So yes, it's ok to not feel the need to defend the statement _"Some humans are just genetically gifted."_ It's not always an excuse, it's simply a fact.
Some humans sit online crying about other humans being more genetically gifted. Some humans accuse everyone that’s in shape of taking PEDs. Some humans cry about PEDs and genetics instead of focusing on bettering themselves.
Great breakdown this one of the best and really puts peoples hard work into perspective. The comment around "when people see what they haven't got"... absolutely spot on... people just want what they don't have and if they can't get it the jealousy side just comes straight to the top... great video. Love these.
great video Im actually shannons body type 6'2 265 used to do powerlifting and bodybuilding at a weight of 205 and play basketball overseas. Then came back bulked up to the 250 range and started boxing in philly then overseas unlicensed. Your videos is helping me alot I have alot of injurys a blown out disc in my back, broke both bones in my left wrist, fractured my pinky on my right hand and had a drop knuckle and shattered the top half of my ring finger needed surgey. Then ruptured my left achillies full tear, I still train 7 days a week with back pain and feet pain. Your videos have helped me zone in on fixing those pains, and now Im going to come down off my full size and head back to a 225 weight as well. Thank you for giving all of us here a place to find resolutions to our pains and problems without charging people thousands which you can most definitely charge with the information your giving.
If Shannon had asked Jeff to put a video presentation together to show him what his expertise can do for him, this video would be it. Great coaching by Jeff here. Not just the technical tips but also how Jeff communicates the message. On a side note, I’m currently running AX-1 again after about 2 years since the last time and I’m still impressed with how genius the programming is. This program always helps me overcome injuries too. I love it and repeat it often with a different focus and goals each time. Great job Jeff…
An inspiration for older men who are looking for positive role models. Shannon Sharpe is an example to me that you can live a good healthy life as you pass 50.
I am 56 years old. I am one of those guys. I get the look at the gym a lot. Some guys even asked me. I tell them that I only use supplementation. Which is the truth. Vitamins, Whole Foods and a little discipline. Of course I use protein shakes. And he's right. Not everyone has the same genetic cards dealt to them . I'm nowhere near as strong as some guys in the gym but I look it. I'm pretty jacked up. I know that I Inspire some of these young guys in the gym. That is worth almost as much to me as getting in shape myself. I love being the old dog in the kennel. Everything I take you can get at vitamin shoppe.
@@sircefiro Find that happy spot with weight and strength.. I go keto long enough for it to kick in, lean out, then binge on comfort food. Then back on the diet.. I just watch my scale and adjust my diet accordingly.. Staying in that "zone" is easier than getting there..
Same here. Not a big guy but put in 60 yrs of heavy lifting . Yesterday a steroid devotee and competitive bodybuilder i’ve known for decades said "You’re still making me look bad." Music to my ears at 73 as he watched me do inclines with 305lbs. Stay healthy !
Your information on how to do a good shoulder press is gold! Standing upright and doing it with one dumbell is so good to concentrate the lateral deltoid and other shoulder muscles! Good work!
I remember Shannon Sharpe.from the EAS Muscle Media 2000 magazine from 1997. He was on the front cover as the NFL's best physique and it was easy to believe. A wonder combination of weight training and professional sports and looking great in the process. It's great to see he's kept up his body too.
@@slylockfox85 Its exogenous, not natural, and can be taken in amounts that go above "accepted" baseline levels. And many TRT users do that. Not saying that's him but it wouldn't surprise one bit
@@slylockfox85No, it will take your levels to whatever you want them to be based on how much you take. Obviously when TRT is administered by. An ethical and moral doctor to help people with actual deficiencies based on their gender and age it can be used for good. But the truth is most people aren't doing that and instead getting access to this stuff through back channels, shady "doctors" with no morals, etc and abusing it. Like every drug it only does what it's medically designed to do when administered PROPERLY. Using a pain killer after say a surgery as prescribed by an moral and ethical doctor is FAR different than an addict popping percs however and whenever they feel like it leading to addiction. In both cases it's still the same drug.
@@Turn420 Nobody said TRT was natural. I said that it restores testosterone to normal levels, which it does. That is literally the definition of TRT. If someone goes above the baseline levels, it is no longer TRT. Words have meanings and you can't just make up your own definition because the existing one doesn't coincide with your unfounded opinions. It's called testosterone REPLACEMENT therapy.
Jeff, I have always admired Shannon and believe he lives, eats and works out similar to you. Eating that healthy and working out 6+ times a week with the weights he is moving would give anyone a healthy looking body. You add in his genetics and how long he has done it and the results look believable! Thanks for this episode and all you do to help us stay healthy!
All time, great NFL players are athletes with elite genetics and an unbelievable work ethic. Its very possible that Shannon Sharpe has never taken PEDs.
Many thanks to Jeff for consistently creating and sharing informative content that helps our health and fitness. I think he's one of the best online content creators. He definitely deserves his 13.8M subscribers.
I figured out my genetics real quick when I tried out for the track team. My competitors were soo much faster than me, that they crossed the finish line so far ahead of me, they were able to catch their breath, then turn around and cheer me on. 😅
ouch...I remember those days, not even remotely gifted at sports. Just a fat guy in gym class. I remember doing swimming in gym class and by the time I had finished my laps, the other swimmers had dried off and were starting a new module lol. It was horrible.
Being 65 with over 5 decades of consistent training i can tell you ...Its amazing Shannon is still very strong and his form is fine...its the muscle mind connection,training hard without over training consistently and diet that keeps him at this level..the 2 times a day split is excellent also...i also have done this..doing two 30 min workouts spread out several hours appart feels great...i believe it especially better for natural older athletes,it helps muscles recover better imo...plus keeps metabolism working more efficiently...😊
I knew a dark skinned black guy at 55 years old who was previously a boxer and sprint athlete in highschool amd college and just never worked out again. He was a big bulbous fellow with a big gut and a bit rambunctious for his age. I but when I grabbed his cartoonishly massive forearm, I truly appreciated the term man of steel. No perceptible fat on him except a layer of skin to remind me he was human. He could still beat small town high school track stars in sprint race without hardly a warm up. The guy was unreal.
I was a walk-on kicker at UGA. Two other kickers and I were "randomly" selected for testing. There were ten players selected out of over 100 athletes on the roster, and three of them were kickers!
@@jonosterman2878 of course not, does anyone think that lmao? His point is valid, look at Shannon at 55, he's built different, as are most NFL HOF'ers
I think what's more important is the type of job you perform. While we all want to strive for more, sometimes if not most, the occupation plays a crucial role. Not to mention, family
I do believe he’s on TRT now which is legal & medically prescribed, but Sharpe was always jacked he was 6’2 200 in high school with crazy strength & college he was 6’2 230.
I am 54 and lifted heavy for years. I never played NFL and took the hits he did. I had shoulder surgery on both shoulders so I can not bring the weight down as low as Shannon. What he is lifting is crazy impressive. I wish people who do not do rag on someone and say they are on Steroids. When I was in my second half of my twenties people call me a juicer and I was 💯 clean. I had good genetics and I was super consistent in the gym.
I totally agree with Shannon Sharpe… I’m certainly not as well conditioned as Sharpe, but close enough and without any PEDs to easily believe that the condition he’s in even at 55 years old is achievable with the lifelong discipline he’s followed in the gym and in the kitchen. God bless him!
Some of the most sound nutrition advice. Be prepared. Lifestyle over dieting. Sustainability and consistency are key. Choosing high quality foods goes a long way to helping you manage the quantity. One thing I would add is treat meals over cheat meals. You’d be surprised how many treat foods you can fit into your maintenance budget just fine without “cheating.”
At 54 years in age, I am in great shape that had most of these young guys question if I am on something. Well, I am only on God's grace and mercy. Either way, Shannon could care less who thinks that he is on something. Whenever you make nutrition and fitness part of your everyday life. You will find yourself in great shape! 💪🏾💯🙏🏾
I tried dieting and failed. I asked myself why was I lean in my college years? In those years I only could afford to eat twice a day and was active. I now eat twice a day and exercise moderately, Viola I'm now back to the same size I was in my twemties. No more knee pain and I can dance again. 😁
As a former All-American and 2nd round pick, my biggest mistake is not having a trainer like you who would have made me more disciplined at the breakfast, lunch and dinner table. I hit .454 with a little power for my lean size, but once I got to the minors, I saw how many players (especially from the south and west coast), stayed in great shape year round. Shannon his the gifts genetically on and off the field and is my favorite sports commentator, ever! Thank You!
Been following Jeff for a while. I'm not hard core by any means, but appreciate the inspiration, common sense and motivation. But knowing he is a NYMets fan........we may have just become best friends.
@@lamontbillingslb Dude look at the size of those. If the ones that say 60 on them were KG that would be over 130lbs. Have you ever seen 130lb dumbbells? They're enormous. What are those dumbbells made of to be that small to weigh that much? Adamantium?
On his Nightcap podcast recently, he said he's about "240 lbs." He has a MASSIVE frame. Larger weights tend to look smaller when larger people are handling them. They could very well be 60kg, but look smaller due to his mass.
Outliers truly exist. I grew up with a few guys that were jacked for no reason. But even as an adult I see it A good friend is 38 does not weight lift at all and never has. He rock climbs, hikes and plays tennis. But is just under 6'2, about 250 pounds and just built. An absolute outlier
Besides shannon, I think about Victor Wembanyama (a 7 foot 4 NBA player for the spurs), and how much of a insane genetic lottery that he won. To be able to move like a point guard at that height is just insane..
@@shehateme9955 you can do any compound exercise... 20 - 25 reps have huge metabolic impact on your whole body... the blood will pump like crazy... joints will love it.... you can use them as a warm up... a good workout should include both high reps and low reps.... you should rest long enough before next set... maybe even 5 minutes.... people often think that for pump you should rest under a minute... NO... with high reps, you should be close to failure... maybe 1 rep in the tank... the pump even doesn't go after 20 minutes... 20 or 25 reps will definitely change your hormones in a good way.... you will feel it... you will even see it in the mirror....
@@cheerfulheartdeepmind685 great intel. When using as a warm up you do multiple sets? Im trying to figure out how to implement into my program. I believe.
@@shehateme9955 do it on your first set.... 20 reps maybe 25 reps... reach very close to failure.... then rest.... even 5 min... your second set can be heavier maybe reaching failure at 10th rep.... both sets will give you same hypertrophy... you should vary rep ranges... always lifting heavy is not good in the long term.... high rep sets will be your warm up set as well as working set... because you reach very close to failure... any rest period under 3 min is a huge mistake... you should tap into deep muscle fibers not used in your daily life... so rest long enough and reach close to technical failure on every set... My first set is always 20 reps or even more... and get very close to failure....
I think the key take away that may not be communication enough is his level of experience and the timing factor! Most people who are reviewing him or worse questioning him can’t comprehend that this man doesn’t just have 40+ years of weightlifting and healthy eating experience… which is amazing by itself! But instead He has a life time of the highest possible, professional athlete level of experience with fitness, healthy eating and weight training! I’m 40 years old and in amazing shape! I played sports, including football growing up, then I was in the military (US Army Infantry) and I have spent the majority of my life lifting weights, training MMA and being active! Which is amazing but I still after all that don’t have this man’s level of experience and achievements in the world of fitness, weight lifting and nutrition because he is not only older than me by 15 years but he spent his entire adult life as one of the top/best NFL PLAYERS in the world! Just making it into the NFL is amazing! But this dude was one of the best of the best players and athletes for the majority of his entire adult life!!! People just can’t comprehend that level… So it’s easy to shoot your mouth off and say stupid things (AKA make wrong assumptions). To me it’s equivalent to standing face to face with a famous astronaut who has went too and even walked on the moon several times and telling him that your on his level of experience when it comes to travel and etc… Because you fly several times a week, for the last 10 years due to business travel!?!? 😂🤷🏽♂️🤦♀️💩… The difference in experience is so far that no one is capable of comparing themselves to that astronaut much less considering themselves on his same level unless they have jumped on a rocket, left our planet, landed on the moon, got out and walked around for awhile and then returned to planet earth safely!😂🤣 🤷🏽♂️🤦♀️💩
I'm so glad I found your channel. U give excellent advice & u are very knowledgeable about everything to do with working out. I'm trying to soak it all up, thanks for the great videos.
In the late 90's and early 2000's I always spotted Shannon, Barry Bonds, and Lenny Kravitz doing low key drop in cameos at the Olympia and Iron Man expos speaking to the Shawn Ray, Flex Wheeler, and Chris Cormier. These guys are just dedicated and compassionate about self fitness.
I'm 54, and have had a very similar lifestyle in terms of training and nutrition since high-school, and, big surprise, I still have a cut and jacked physique that I keep within 5 pounds throughout the year. I don't have the freaky strength or size that Shannon has, but at 6 ft and high 180s, I'm pretty strong
It makes perfect sense that he is in this shape naturally, he worked on farms since 4 years old, lifted weights since the early 80's and hasn't stopped, it's really that simple.
Jeff I call Big Time B.S. on those 50 and 60Kg Dumbells. 60kg is what 130lbs estimated? Have you seen how huge 130lb dumbells are? Those werent in KG's!
Exactly what I posted. You'd think Jeff has been in the gym long enough to realize those are way too small to be the weights he said. Plus the guy lives in the US where 99.9% of gyms have all their weights in LB's.
@@firsthelix6726USA Power Lifting uses kgs for body weight classes and plates. My gym has a set of plates that are marked in kgs. They also have the lbs equivalent marked in smaller fonts. That’s for those of us that are into power lifting.
Bc he's much older now. Your test levels naturally drop and you could keep doing the same thing you've always done and start seeing 1/4 of the results. Exact reason I started TRT in my 40s. I was working out smarter and eating better than ever before and seeing worse results. TRT brought it back in balance.

Your not that smart if you think he’s not taking anything
@@BDAthleticInsider people are not realistic anymore.
@@BDAthleticInsider I didn’t say he was clean ! I just believe still he believes he trains the same!
if you believe Shannon i wouldn't listen to many of your insights
his ffmi is 32 and the top ever recorded is 27 but ok
Shannon trained at a speed and agility facility that I worked at. This was around 2004. I’ve worked out with many NFL players during my time in the field, and Shannon maybe trained the hardest. He did sprint/footwork/plyo/agility work and lifted weights, nearly every day in the off-season. I believe him when he says he is clean. He just never stopped and has a ridiculous work ethic.
_" I believe him when he says he is clean."_

No way dude is clean and neither is Jeff.
It’s the same with dudes in prison guys don’t seem to realize a lot of those jacked prisoners been down 5-10 years working out heavily everyday, just imagine a guy whose being doing squats,push ups, burpees and jump rope for 10 years everyday idc what genetics he got it’s gonna show

The guy is not a regular guy. He’s a world class athlete. He’s a hall of famer. Idk if he takes anything or not. But the guy has amazing genes.
He is also clearly, 100% on "TRT" and it isn't even a question.
yes and the top ffmi of the best genetic ever recorded is 27 at 33 years old. he's 56 with ffmi index but keep your delusions real
when genetics and hard work come together
people forget genetics also determines behavior so to some extent he is gifted both physically and mentally. nonetheless the hard work and discipline is still required
genetics, hard work and consistency
You’re forgetting the most important ingredient.

I really like Jeff's approach to this format. He does the critique and the analysis but he also brings the recognition that people are dealing with different limitations and injuries and explains that there's good reasons oftentimes for doing movements that others might say are less than optimal
I'm just going out on a limb here, there was alot of disagreement between Jeff and Shannon, now I'm just curious as to see how I watched this video wrong because I haven't actually done anything else, and if there's one thing I've learnt from Jeff, its I did do something wrong😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂@@MrNatewhatley
@@MrNatewhatleyI wouldn't call that a lot of disagreement. Jeff is objective and fair in his reviews.
This might be my favorite video you've made. It's everything you've said before perfectly worded succinctly. I just shared it with a newbie buddy. You really are an under appreciated fitness youtuber and you helped me out of a plateau when you were my coach for 12 weeks. Thank you for being you.
You gonna blow him while you're at it?
@@1122redbird why wont you let the guy express his emotions and opinions ? You had to go to blowjob, ssriously?? Must be your favorite workout.
Underappreciated? Doesn’t he have nearly 14,000,000 subscribers? The guy is darn wealthy from UA-cam.
@@oolala53 Exactly.... calling him "underappreciated" was laughable
i love the blind loyalty, his ffmi is 32 at 56 considering the top ever recorded is 27 at 33 considering test drops every year by 1.6percent it's completely a delusion
Shannon's comment about the locker room and the shared experience wasn't about enjoying the process or the grind per se. It was about going through it with other people. Jeff himself mentioned the camaraderie he felt as a trainer (23:59) for the Mets as a key factor in his being successful and enjoying the process while it was happening and not, as in this video, as somebody looking back philosophically years later.
Get yourself a workout buddy, a workout coach, or start mentoring somebody in the gym. It will make the process SO much more rewarding and easier to be consistent with. The sum is greater than the parts when you work out with somebody who shares your goals.
Shannon helped the Broncos win their first Super Bowl when I was 13 and living two hours from Denver. He was one of my sports gods. His biceps seemed unreal but were very motivating for an 8th grader just discovering the weight room. Thanks for this video, Jeff.
Agreed, this works for cycling, running, and endurance sports as well
Suffering shared is suffering halved !
I was in the best shape of my life when working out with the other defensive backs and track guys like myself. There were 5 or 6 of us who did both. Year round training.
When I lost that, and life's challenges came, I veered.
I am not disciplined enough to do all that I was doing with those guys, on my own. At least not right now. I am drawing motivation (know every workout that I need to do and have every piece of equipment I need right in my training room), just a mental hurdle I have to clear since setting up my new house earlier this year.
Don't ever want to be as jacked as Shannon. I'm 45 and 5'10" 220 right now. Don't really need to lose anything. I carry it mostly power half and wouldn't even want to be much below my previous ideal of 217. 210 lowest. I'm not terribly off the mark, because some people would look at me and wonder what I'm complaining about.
Those who worked out with me would wonder what happened in the last 25 years LOL

Decent shape? Nah bro, he's in great shape at any age. Most guys don't even achieve that look in their twenties
Decent? Hes got a better body than 99.99999% of dudes will have at any point of their lives.
Shannon and TO look great for their age
Looking great period! Do you know many kids that look like them?
Great in general, they look insane for their age
There are certainly outliers out there, genetic freaks.
Last week I saw a kid probably 16-17, across the street, while I was sipping on in a tea shop in Turkiye.
The kid was about 6,2, wearing a tank top and shorts, I could tell he wasn't a gym goer, but he had muscular shoulders, calves almost to the point of someone who had been training at least 6 years natural, and his arms were as structured as many can not get in a couple of years.
It was very obvious to me that he didn't lift, and it was the first time I saw someone with such a freaky genetic displayed through their muscular structure to the point, I thought of approaching him and sponsoring him for the rest of his life for the next 10 Mr. Olympia wins, but than I realized I am broke and will be broke. :)))
(been a gym rat my self for so long, I always observe people, and this kid was the best freak of genetics I had seen so far in decades)
Too good?
TO looks great
Shannon looks insane. He looks better than great for 56. Like a 25 yr old that competes in shows. Not like a 56 yr old. Him and Hershel Walker the only two ageless vampires.
Shannon is one of if not the greatest Tight End of All Time. He changed the position. After he entered the game. Everyone was looking for another him. Shannon was a beast. He could take on your best Line Backers. While beating your best Corners ane Safeties. No steroids, just living right and working out properly.
Kellen Winslow changed the position in the 80’s
Yeah but just cuz you in great shape doesn't mean you're smart and doesn't mean I have to listen to you on everything all that means is you're in good shape
I’ve been a huge fan of Shannon’s since back in his Denver Broncos / EAS days.
Although I knew I would never look like him, he presented a goal to work towards. Planning on checking out his podcasts now. Thanks for highlighting Mr. Sharp.
I use to have the EAS magazine with Shanon on the cover
The best of my time..EAS
one thing I thought was weird was even McCaffrey got ripped and was a string bean prior to the EAS days. but TD and Sharpe are both still muscular guys and have to believe they are some of the few genetic freaks. And believe me, I think most IG influencers are on tons of peds no matter what they "say".
EAS back n the day
EAS and that Bigger Faster Stronger book 👀
"Do today what others won't, you'll do tomorrow what others can't"
Yeah if only you bought the same shoes, ate the same way, trained exactly how he tells you, you'll look just like John Cena, the Rock, or Jeff! LOL........Keep dreaming dude. The rest of us will be living better through chemistry and stay grounded in a healthy reality.
Came here for the "better luck next time"
Wasn't disappointed
Jeff this has been one of the most encouraging videos that Ive watched. I've re-listened to his eating plan a number of times just to soak the simplicity and results into me. 55 years old, disciplined in his workouts and disciplined in his eating. He's jacked. I really didn't know much at all about Shannon Sharpe. I really admire him now. Thanks for a great video.
You took my comment bro. I'm only 43 and I'm a CPT, and this was still informative.
That was a great video, I’m about to turn 60 and my body fat percentage is around 5 to 6% very discipline in my eating and workout ! Keep making these good videos. I’ve been following you now for over five years now! Thank you! Thank you
A Jedi lifter, Shannon Sharpe is.
His own counsel will he keep!
'Keep he will, he's own counsel.' Meant you say.
Someone asked if I was on steroids the other day. It was the best compliment I’ve had in a long time - natural all the way.
Some humans are just genetically gifted
And some humans maintain their genetic gifts with training and nutritional discipline.
@@RooseCochran And some people *don't* have to _"maintain their genetic gifts with training and nutritional discipline."_ Those are the people who can "eat whatever they want" and are still relatively lean. Or the people who "don't workout", yet are muscular. As well as some people who don't train but still have a high athletic endurance.
So yes, it's ok to not feel the need to defend the statement _"Some humans are just genetically gifted."_ It's not always an excuse, it's simply a fact.
Some humans take performance enhancing drugs. Sometimes gentically gifted humans also take PED's. That's usually the case at the top of any sport.
Some humans sit online crying about other humans being more genetically gifted. Some humans accuse everyone that’s in shape of taking PEDs. Some humans cry about PEDs and genetics instead of focusing on bettering themselves.
Exactly!
Great breakdown this one of the best and really puts peoples hard work into perspective. The comment around "when people see what they haven't got"... absolutely spot on... people just want what they don't have and if they can't get it the jealousy side just comes straight to the top... great video. Love these.
great video Im actually shannons body type 6'2 265 used to do powerlifting and bodybuilding at a weight of 205 and play basketball overseas. Then came back bulked up to the 250 range and started boxing in philly then overseas unlicensed. Your videos is helping me alot I have alot of injurys a blown out disc in my back, broke both bones in my left wrist, fractured my pinky on my right hand and had a drop knuckle and shattered the top half of my ring finger needed surgey. Then ruptured my left achillies full tear, I still train 7 days a week with back pain and feet pain. Your videos have helped me zone in on fixing those pains, and now Im going to come down off my full size and head back to a 225 weight as well. Thank you for giving all of us here a place to find resolutions to our pains and problems without charging people thousands which you can most definitely charge with the information your giving.
If Shannon had asked Jeff to put a video presentation together to show him what his expertise can do for him, this video would be it. Great coaching by Jeff here. Not just the technical tips but also how Jeff communicates the message.
On a side note, I’m currently running AX-1 again after about 2 years since the last time and I’m still impressed with how genius the programming is. This program always helps me overcome injuries too. I love it and repeat it often with a different focus and goals each time.
Great job Jeff…
An inspiration for older men who are looking for positive role models. Shannon Sharpe is an example to me that you can live a good healthy life as you pass 50.
I am 56 years old. I am one of those guys. I get the look at the gym a lot. Some guys even asked me. I tell them that I only use supplementation. Which is the truth. Vitamins, Whole Foods and a little discipline. Of course I use protein shakes. And he's right. Not everyone has the same genetic cards dealt to them . I'm nowhere near as strong as some guys in the gym but I look it. I'm pretty jacked up. I know that I Inspire some of these young guys in the gym. That is worth almost as much to me as getting in shape myself. I love being the old dog in the kennel. Everything I take you can get at vitamin shoppe.
No you are not. If you were you wouldn’t say it, you’d show it with a pic on your profile. Pipe down
I used to be one of the heavy lifters in the gym, now I'm no where near it too haha, but still look like it, about 27 years of training though
@@sircefiro Find that happy spot with weight and strength.. I go keto long enough for it to kick in, lean out, then binge on comfort food. Then back on the diet.. I just watch my scale and adjust my diet accordingly.. Staying in that "zone" is easier than getting there..
Same here. Not a big guy but put in 60 yrs of heavy lifting . Yesterday a steroid devotee and competitive bodybuilder i’ve known for decades said "You’re still making me look bad." Music to my ears at 73 as he watched me do inclines with 305lbs. Stay healthy !
46 years old and the young guys and girls approach me often at the gym. God first 🙏🏾 , hard work, and dedication 💪🏾
Been a fan of Jeff for years. Videos like this are exactly why. So valuable and authentic. Thank you!
So, are we ever gonna see Jeff on Club Shay Shay??? 🤔
Great video! Too many people are jealous and make excuses for themselves when the person next to them is doing better
This is exactly what I needed today, thanks!
Your information on how to do a good shoulder press is gold! Standing upright and doing it with one dumbell is so good to concentrate the lateral deltoid and other shoulder muscles! Good work!
I remember Shannon Sharpe.from the EAS Muscle Media 2000 magazine from 1997. He was on the front cover as the NFL's best physique and it was easy to believe. A wonder combination of weight training and professional sports and looking great in the process. It's great to see he's kept up his body too.
'Sometimes' individuals like Shannon don't consider TRT a performance enhancing drug. Just saying...
Trt is a scam. Natural test doesn’t dwindle and it is stronger than any PED
But TRT just returns testosterone to baseline levels, correct? I miss the "enhancement" part. To "enhance" something literally means to "make better."
@@slylockfox85 Its exogenous, not natural, and can be taken in amounts that go above "accepted" baseline levels. And many TRT users do that. Not saying that's him but it wouldn't surprise one bit
@@slylockfox85No, it will take your levels to whatever you want them to be based on how much you take. Obviously when TRT is administered by. An ethical and moral doctor to help people with actual deficiencies based on their gender and age it can be used for good. But the truth is most people aren't doing that and instead getting access to this stuff through back channels, shady "doctors" with no morals, etc and abusing it. Like every drug it only does what it's medically designed to do when administered PROPERLY. Using a pain killer after say a surgery as prescribed by an moral and ethical doctor is FAR different than an addict popping percs however and whenever they feel like it leading to addiction. In both cases it's still the same drug.
@@Turn420 Nobody said TRT was natural. I said that it restores testosterone to normal levels, which it does. That is literally the definition of TRT. If someone goes above the baseline levels, it is no longer TRT. Words have meanings and you can't just make up your own definition because the existing one doesn't coincide with your unfounded opinions. It's called testosterone REPLACEMENT therapy.
Jeff, I have always admired Shannon and believe he lives, eats and works out similar to you. Eating that healthy and working out 6+ times a week with the weights he is moving would give anyone a healthy looking body. You add in his genetics and how long he has done it and the results look believable! Thanks for this episode and all you do to help us stay healthy!
All time, great NFL players are athletes with elite genetics and an unbelievable work ethic. Its very possible that Shannon Sharpe has never taken PEDs.
Many thanks to Jeff for consistently creating and sharing informative content that helps our health and fitness. I think he's one of the best online content creators. He definitely deserves his 13.8M subscribers.
I figured out my genetics real quick when I tried out for the track team. My competitors were soo much faster than me, that they crossed the finish line so far ahead of me, they were able to catch their breath, then turn around and cheer me on. 😅
ouch...I remember those days, not even remotely gifted at sports. Just a fat guy in gym class. I remember doing swimming in gym class and by the time I had finished my laps, the other swimmers had dried off and were starting a new module lol. It was horrible.
LOL 😂 with you!
We all have to realize we’re not the same! But we do are best❤
56, one hip replacement, best thing ever. Wasn't allowed to do legs for four months.
Being 65 with over 5 decades of consistent training i can tell you ...Its amazing Shannon is still very strong and his form is fine...its the muscle mind connection,training hard without over training consistently and diet that keeps him at this level..the 2 times a day split is excellent also...i also have done this..doing two 30 min workouts spread out several hours appart feels great...i believe it especially better for natural older athletes,it helps muscles recover better imo...plus keeps metabolism working more efficiently...😊
I don't do very much in the way of lifting, but I really cleaned up my diet. That alone made a tremendous difference.
can you tell me a little more about that diet please🙌
Good job, on your eating habits 🎉.
I really enjoyed your breakdown of this video! I’ll incorporate researching restaurants in advance for work travel 🙌🏾
48 in 5 days, fitness close to 30yrs, still natty

I knew a dark skinned black guy at 55 years old who was previously a boxer and sprint athlete in highschool amd college and just never worked out again. He was a big bulbous fellow with a big gut and a bit rambunctious for his age. I but when I grabbed his cartoonishly massive forearm, I truly appreciated the term man of steel. No perceptible fat on him except a layer of skin to remind me he was human. He could still beat small town high school track stars in sprint race without hardly a warm up. The guy was unreal.
Um .....what?

@@nickwojtow6787sterling had a really serious neck injury that ended his career of course he’s not going to look like Shannon
I was a walk-on kicker at UGA. Two other kickers and I were "randomly" selected for testing. There were ten players selected out of over 100 athletes on the roster, and three of them were kickers!
Great video sir, you did a wonderful job explaining to me. I learned a lot.
It takes decades to build a physic like Shannon’s- Naturally(!). No one should be surprised... Kudus to him.
Thank you. People have to understand, if you played in the NFL, you are very different. If you’re an NFL hall of famer, you are very, very different.
Still human. He’s not super man. You can’t defy aging or death.
He may not be Superman, but he is super, man.
@@jonosterman2878 of course not, does anyone think that lmao?
His point is valid, look at Shannon at 55, he's built different, as are most NFL HOF'ers
I didn’t know Shannon was 55! Inspiration. Thanks, AthleenX, y’all inspire me too. 👊🏽
I'm glad you discussed his workouts and clarifying that he's throwing around kilos, not pounds 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
He is wrong. These are definitely pounds not kilos, it's obvious to anyone who has ever used the "big boy" side of the dumbbell rack.
Hard work and dedication is what this man did he knows what it takes 🔥💪
I think what's more important is the type of job you perform. While we all want to strive for more, sometimes if not most, the occupation plays a crucial role. Not to mention, family
Amazing genetics and hard work over decades
I do believe he’s on TRT now which is legal & medically prescribed, but Sharpe was always jacked he was 6’2 200 in high school with crazy strength & college he was 6’2 230.
I am 54 and lifted heavy for years. I never played NFL and took the hits he did.
I had shoulder surgery on both shoulders so I can not bring the weight down as low as Shannon. What he is lifting is crazy impressive.
I wish people who do not do rag on someone and say they are on Steroids.
When I was in my second half of my twenties people call me a juicer and I was 💯 clean.
I had good genetics and I was super consistent in the gym.
I totally agree with Shannon Sharpe… I’m certainly not as well conditioned as Sharpe, but close enough and without any PEDs to easily believe that the condition he’s in even at 55 years old is achievable with the lifelong discipline he’s followed in the gym and in the kitchen. God bless him!
Some of the most sound nutrition advice. Be prepared. Lifestyle over dieting. Sustainability and consistency are key. Choosing high quality foods goes a long way to helping you manage the quantity. One thing I would add is treat meals over cheat meals. You’d be surprised how many treat foods you can fit into your maintenance budget just fine without “cheating.”
At 54 years in age, I am in great shape that had most of these young guys question if I am on something. Well, I am only on God's grace and mercy. Either way, Shannon could care less who thinks that he is on something. Whenever you make nutrition and fitness part of your everyday life. You will find yourself in great shape! 💪🏾💯🙏🏾
Does creatine, alanine, and tribulus count as "not taking anything"?
I tried dieting and failed.
I asked myself why was I lean in my college years?
In those years I only could afford to eat twice a day and was active.
I now eat twice a day and exercise moderately, Viola I'm now back to the same size I was in my twemties.
No more knee pain and I can dance again. 😁
Why the hell is a PT getting PED tested?
@@PGF_consulting_LLC Yeah I was trying to wrap my head around that too lol
to "prove" that it's "random" possibly
Why not? Looking at him and possibly questioning whether he’s on something and possibly give it to players
Because it's in the contract to do so.
Looking at him now or back then?@@btv4083
Genetics and lifestyle (mindset, habits, diet,etc) go a long way. Some are just naturally gifted.
As a former All-American and 2nd round pick, my biggest mistake is not having a trainer like you who would have made me more disciplined at the breakfast, lunch and dinner table. I hit .454 with a little power for my lean size, but once I got to the minors, I saw how many players (especially from the south and west coast), stayed in great shape year round.
Shannon his the gifts genetically on and off the field and is my favorite sports commentator, ever! Thank You!
Sports & employers that do "random" testing whether it's for PED's or other drugs tend to test only people that they know will pass.
I’m pretty Shannon doesn’t need to proved anything to random nobody on the internet.
@@FontanatI think he means Shannon was Natty. No shade thrown ...

It's 50 & 60 lbs. I don't know where kg's came from as this is likely an LA, California gym
Yeah those aren't big enough to be kilograms
I don’t think those are 50lbs considering he was benching 365lbs
@@lamontbillingslb Dude look at the size of those. If the ones that say 60 on them were KG that would be over 130lbs. Have you ever seen 130lb dumbbells? They're enormous. What are those dumbbells made of to be that small to weigh that much? Adamantium?
On his Nightcap podcast recently, he said he's about "240 lbs." He has a MASSIVE frame. Larger weights tend to look smaller when larger people are handling them. They could very well be 60kg, but look smaller due to his mass.
Great video. Big props to Shannon Sharpe. Truly dedicated to a healthy lifestyle.
Spot on Jeff!! Thanks for the video. SS knows exactly what he is doing and it shows. Love that guy 👍🏽💪🏽
Another great, super informative video! Thank you.
Outliers truly exist. I grew up with a few guys that were jacked for no reason. But even as an adult I see it
A good friend is 38 does not weight lift at all and never has. He rock climbs, hikes and plays tennis. But is just under 6'2, about 250 pounds and just built. An absolute outlier
Besides shannon, I think about Victor Wembanyama (a 7 foot 4 NBA player for the spurs), and how much of a insane genetic lottery that he won. To be able to move like a point guard at that height is just insane..
20 reps do wonders... metabolic effect is amazing... strength gains and mass gains also unique... try it guys... your joints will love it....
Squat right? Tell us if there's more.
@@shehateme9955 you can do any compound exercise... 20 - 25 reps have huge metabolic impact on your whole body... the blood will pump like crazy... joints will love it.... you can use them as a warm up... a good workout should include both high reps and low reps.... you should rest long enough before next set... maybe even 5 minutes.... people often think that for pump you should rest under a minute... NO... with high reps, you should be close to failure... maybe 1 rep in the tank... the pump even doesn't go after 20 minutes... 20 or 25 reps will definitely change your hormones in a good way.... you will feel it... you will even see it in the mirror....
@@cheerfulheartdeepmind685 great intel. When using as a warm up you do multiple sets? Im trying to figure out how to implement into my program. I believe.
@@cheerfulheartdeepmind685 thanx
@@shehateme9955 do it on your first set.... 20 reps maybe 25 reps... reach very close to failure.... then rest.... even 5 min... your second set can be heavier maybe reaching failure at 10th rep.... both sets will give you same hypertrophy... you should vary rep ranges... always lifting heavy is not good in the long term.... high rep sets will be your warm up set as well as working set... because you reach very close to failure... any rest period under 3 min is a huge mistake... you should tap into deep muscle fibers not used in your daily life... so rest long enough and reach close to technical failure on every set... My first set is always 20 reps or even more... and get very close to failure....

Well presented analysis, Jeff!
Excellent breakdown.... I actually able to follow much of that analysis. 😀
It's ridiculous to compare yourself to a professional athlete they have .01% genetics and it's literally their job to workout.
jeff doesnt even need to flex those arms to show off those biceps..... huge man💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I think the key take away that may not be communication enough is his level of experience and the timing factor! Most people who are reviewing him or worse questioning him can’t comprehend that this man doesn’t just have 40+ years of weightlifting and healthy eating experience… which is amazing by itself! But instead He has a life time of the highest possible, professional athlete level of experience with fitness, healthy eating and weight training! I’m 40 years old and in amazing shape! I played sports, including football growing up, then I was in the military (US Army Infantry) and I have spent the majority of my life lifting weights, training MMA and being active! Which is amazing but I still after all that don’t have this man’s level of experience and achievements in the world of fitness, weight lifting and nutrition because he is not only older than me by 15 years but he spent his entire adult life as one of the top/best NFL PLAYERS in the world! Just making it into the NFL is amazing! But this dude was one of the best of the best players and athletes for the majority of his entire adult life!!! People just can’t comprehend that level… So it’s easy to shoot your mouth off and say stupid things (AKA make wrong assumptions). To me it’s equivalent to standing face to face with a famous astronaut who has went too and even walked on the moon several times and telling him that your on his level of experience when it comes to travel and etc… Because you fly several times a week, for the last 10 years due to business travel!?!? 😂🤷🏽♂️🤦♀️💩… The difference in experience is so far that no one is capable of comparing themselves to that astronaut much less considering themselves on his same level unless they have jumped on a rocket, left our planet, landed on the moon, got out and walked around for awhile and then returned to planet earth safely!😂🤣 🤷🏽♂️🤦♀️💩
This was inspiring. I'm enjoying these.
Good video. I learned a lot about lifting just watching this one video with out feeling overwhelmed with to much information. Thank you Jeff.
You should also talk about LeBalco James and his PED use also. 💉💉💉💉
I'm so glad I found your channel. U give excellent advice & u are very knowledgeable about everything to do with working out. I'm trying to soak it all up, thanks for the great videos.
The trainers get tested? That’s a waste of $10k
I would not question of change anything Shannon is doing in the gym. He has one of the best physiques out there period especially for his age.
He's natural. People hate him because they ain't him.
In the late 90's and early 2000's I always spotted Shannon, Barry Bonds, and Lenny Kravitz doing low key drop in cameos at the Olympia and Iron Man expos speaking to the Shawn Ray, Flex Wheeler, and Chris Cormier. These guys are just dedicated and compassionate about self fitness.
@athleanx can you do a video on Tim Tebow’s training

I'm 54, and have had a very similar lifestyle in terms of training and nutrition since high-school, and, big surprise, I still have a cut and jacked physique that I keep within 5 pounds throughout the year. I don't have the freaky strength or size that Shannon has, but at 6 ft and high 180s, I'm pretty strong
It makes perfect sense that he is in this shape naturally, he worked on farms since 4 years old, lifted weights since the early 80's and hasn't stopped, it's really that simple.
Yes first like in india 🇮🇳
What an achievement bhai
Hard work , genetics and more hard work
Jeff I call Big Time B.S. on those 50 and 60Kg Dumbells. 60kg is what 130lbs estimated? Have you seen how huge 130lb dumbells are? Those werent in KG's!
Completely agree. I’ve not seen 50kg be that thin, unless they’re made out of some super dense metal that no one else has.
True! We use kgs in Europe, so I know how they look like. Also, they don’t sell kg plates to the US market, lol!
Exactly what I posted. You'd think Jeff has been in the gym long enough to realize those are way too small to be the weights he said. Plus the guy lives in the US where 99.9% of gyms have all their weights in LB's.
@@firsthelix6726USA Power Lifting uses kgs for body weight classes and plates.
My gym has a set of plates that are marked in kgs. They also have the lbs equivalent marked in smaller fonts. That’s for those of us that are into power lifting.
True... pounds they are... he may lift that weight... but not so easily...
Thanks for the great break down!
He could be on TRT now or something. But he was in shape for years.
Bc he's much older now. Your test levels naturally drop and you could keep doing the same thing you've always done and start seeing 1/4 of the results. Exact reason I started TRT in my 40s. I was working out smarter and eating better than ever before and seeing worse results. TRT brought it back in balance.
Great subject content. Keep the videos coming.
You and Shannon should have a bench press competition and see who can lift the most until one of your shoulders pop. that would be awesome.
