- I have made quite a few muscle building mistakes over the years that I regret, and today I'm sharing them with you. I'm going to discuss my 16 greatest regrets I made both in the gym and in the kitchen, when it came to my pursuit of building muscle and getting ripped.

I started my journey of no longer wanting to be a skinny kid when I was about 13 years old. I trained alongside my older brother and tried to copy the exercises and workouts that he was doing. Along the way, I missed some important lessons and wound up paying the price.
Today, I'm going to share with you some of those that I really wish I could go back and change. If I could have had this video available to me as a young teenager and into my twenties, I feel like I'd have a much different physique these days and one that was less rife with physical issues that came from poor training and education.
As a physical therapist, it starts with being able to take my knowledge now and forgive myself for simply not knowing what I do today. For instance, when I first started working out, I would open up the muscle building magazines and try to follow the 30-40 set routines and workouts of bodybuilders like Shawn Ray.
Along the way, I would experience pain and joint discomfort from performing the exercises incorrectly and doing them with incredible amounts of what would be junk volume. Not being enhanced like the models were, led me to experience much different results than what I expected from looking at their pictures alone and not knowing the whole story.
I also was quite naive when it came to nutrition and supplementation. I thought, for instance, that all oats were created equal. This couldn't be any further from the truth. My early days of eating Quaker Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal in the packets led to lots of consumption of sugar with little benefit. The regular slow cook oats had zero grams of sugar. Only with education was I able to identify that and make the change that would lead to lower levels of body fat and a more ripped physique.
I also had many mistakes when it came to performing exercises I probably should not have. Years of damage were done in a short period of time by performing strength based exercises without properly addressing my flat feet. The poor biomechanics and form on the exercises led to a quick breakdown of my knees which still plague me to this day.
I often overlooked the benefits of progressive overload in my training. This was particularly true of my bodyweight and calisthenic exercises. Instead of opting for more overload in the form of a harder variation of the common exercise, I would just try to build more muscle by adding on more and more reps. This was a mistake I'd come to learn later in life but has paid big dividends since fixing.
Nutrition has always been a struggle for me. I went from not caring enough to caring way too much and becoming almost obsessive about what I put in my mouth. In previous videos I discussed how I became fat phobic and avoided almost all dietary fats. Here I talk about the inflexibility I had when working in professional baseball and found myself on the road with very few options for healthy nutrition at my disposal - at least not cheaply.
I also discuss my oversight when it came to the value of eccentrics, particularly on pulling exercises. It's not hard to remember to slow down the rep on the way down in a pushing exercise like the bench press. This is often an automatic built-in body protection mechanism that keeps you safe under heavy loads. In pulling exercises however, the weight tends to fall away from you. It's easy to forget about lowering it slowly and because of that, you forego one of the greatest stimuli for muscle growth and gains.
Speaking of lost gains, it's easy to do when you are training in pain. I made the mistake of trying to workout with pain rather than around it. There is a big distinction between the two. If you want to keep building muscle fast then you have to respect when things aren't right in your body and find a way to keep training without continuing to aggravate the inflammation in your joints or injury to your muscles.
My personal battle with a shoulder injury took longer than I would have liked because I originally tried to keep performing the very exercises that were leading to pain and discomfort when performing them.

Hi Athlean team, is the giveaway only for the people from US?
the important thing is it's Stew Leonard froyo! Yum!
And the greatest decision you made was to share your knowledge with millions of people around the world who have benefitted massively from your experience and skills. Thanks, Jeff.
Bro this guys advice is mostly just 🧢
Lmfao what is this corny ass comment? Hes a youtuber who makes (not very good) videos for money
@@GrizzlyGamingUA-cam hat ?
Yeah what they said 🎉
I agree, that was excellent advice. I’m taking the advice of keeping the bottled water by my sink in the morning.
Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that Jeff has never once done an ad during any his videos. At this point, he's decided to choose straight to the point, informative videos over millions of dollars. What an awesome guy
13M subscribe is not a joke. This channel is GOLD.
He said in an interview that his videos drive traffic to his website. I myself have bought two of his programs. I really like the Core4 abs program, had a ball running that. I'll probably run it again in the future. People can say what they want, I don't like training at the fast tempo that he likes, but man, I've learned a lot from him.
I have bought 2 of his programs as well actually, one when was 16 and one when I was 20. Both of them were incredible
I got an ad during this video
@Greg Tyrone Yeah youtube has started doing that. They'll put ads on channels that don't ever see the profit from it just because they have such and abundance of ads.
Very inspiring. At 56, here one of my biggest lessons: never train for ego or to impress others. Nobody gives a s*** about your number of plates or personal best. Focus in your inner progress. Train from a place where everything you do at the gym must support your needs. Just my two cents. God bless you all!
That’s a good two cents man!
Completely agree with this - do your own thing. Often while others wildly swing around much heavier weights, I stick to lower ones but move them more slowly (or myself more slowly if it's a body weight exercise). It still surprises me the number of people who train with weights in a gym that miss the point of ** resistance ** training.
✌️
54 years old here, lifting since I was 13-and this is right on. After 3 surgeries in last 4 years from workout injuries, I have finally learned my lesson. That extra plate? No one cares. Change another variable (speed, volume, etc) and stop obsessing about the weight. Don’t learn the hard way like I did.
Maybe you have less views than other years, but I will never abandon you. I found your channel when I was absolutely broken (physicaly and mentally) and I was in a very bad condition. But you made me change, you made me get my best shape and I still keep it. So, Jeff, thanks. Thanks for all.
P.d. I am so sorry about your biceps 🙏🏼
Goodluck king 👑
I don't think he has any less views now than before. Remember, older videos with top content and good titles tend to accumulate a shitload of views over several years.
Views are for sure less
He’s got less views now because the main thing people seek he covered already. Probably best channel still

@@emdhruv Wearing shoes while working out is optional my dude
@@nomnomyourmom Thank u
Thank you! 👍
My biggest regrets:
1) Not developing an overall level of athleticism before I even hit the gym. I should have worked on my push-up abilities before starting bench presses. I should have worked on my bodyweight squats before getting under a bar. And most importantly *I should have done A LOT more cardio to get my cardio conditioning up before getting serious about lifting weights* I was getting tired very quickly during my routines.
2) Not dialing in my nutrition properly. I was skinnyfat when I started, and I didn't realize how much fat I was carrying and how little muscle I was carrying. I bulked up by eating junk food to round out my calories because that's what a lot of fitness youtubers were pushing. The fact is when you're starting out you need to eat clean, regardless. No Pop-Tarts!
100% agree. I found that resistance training complements endurance training and visa versa. My main hobby is trail running, but my form and balance are built in the gym. Plus, the added vascularization via weight training is enhanced by endurance training.
My biggest regret is not taking my fitness seriously until I was 38. I'm 40 now and have lost 105 pounds but have hit a major plateau. I'm not giving up but really wish I started taking fitness seriously a lot sooner. But, @Jeff, your videos are soon helpful and I love your 100 series!
I feel that. Letting myself get out of shape over the last ten years, and trying to fight my way back into better shape now, the difference in effort required is ridiculous. I wish I had the foresight to just keep at it over all of this time, instead of letting my body go, then spending the next few years struggling to claw my way back.
If you hit a plateau I'd suggest taking more rest and recovery. This applies to your mind and body. Forget the plans. Just explore and have fun with training.
Congrats on your 105lbs!!! That’s incredible!!
I have no idea what your diet/nutritional plan is but I’ll throw out there a suggestion:
Shirataki/ Konjac rice or pasta- aka ‘Miracle Rice/Pasta’.
It is basically carbLESS (1-3g total carb per serving). You may even make a bowl with Kettle & Fire Bone Broth to get yummy, satiating nutritional goodness along with all of your EAAs, but without all the calories…
Anyways keep up the great work !!
✌🏼 ❤️ 💪🏼
Hell yea
@@ittyfittykelly Add details, Why would you want to eat this product?
Looking back to my early teens cluelessly working out in my friends basement, it is mind boggling how much more I know 50 years later thanks mostly to you.
#15 hit home for me. I injured my arm in June and totally worked THROUGH it until September when I started seeing a physical therapist who immediately instructed me to work AROUND it, like you mentioned. Great advice all around! Thanks Jeff!
It really amazes me how this is one of the channels I am subscribed to the longest and they still pump out the most amazing content. Going strong for years and there is no end in sight. Thank you for all the knowledge and inspiration!
Jeff, I appreciated your openness in this latest video. I am a firm believer I must continue to achieve personal growth if I want to continue to create physical growth. You are a living example of this. At age 67, my strength continues to grow in both areas. You have been an insightful and inspiring teacher. My heartfelt thanks!
Hey Jeff, I've been a building contractor for 30 odd years and have acquired various injuries along the way. I've often stopped working out because of the injuries, some requiring surgery but once the rehab is done I try to get back into the gym. I've recently turned 54 and my motivation was near zero...but you're videos have recently inspired me to get of my arse and get back to some training. I started with a 30min walk everyday and have now restarted weight training. I especially liked you're view about working with injuries....very inspirational. As my physiotherapist says "motion is lotion" Thank you.
Ric.
I appreciate your honesty and openness about your mistakes and your struggles. It really makes me feel normal with my own struggles. Seeing you being the same as me and achieving so much makes me hopeful and feels empowering
Hi Jeff. Could you make a video on corrective exercises? Listing them by problem and explaining their benefits and how to incorporate them in a program
Yes!
I’ve appreciated the quality advice you’ve given us over the years Jeff. I’m 42 and in great shape, partly because I’ve followed a lot of your advice. Thank you!🙏🏾
Jeff, could you please make a video on corrective exercises, covering all body parts and how to fit them in our regular training sessions ?
That would be amazing. I noticed yesterday that my shoulder on my left side tends to slouch forward. That shoulder is also very tight and susceptible to pain. I know it's out of alignment when I lift because I can see it. I think my body is trying to protect it from injury, but I think the misalignment is causing other problems in my neck.
Always putting out professional content with great advice for beginners or advanced lifters
The un-shrugging of my shoulders during chest exercises was the single best piece of advice (among countless other improvements) I picked up from this channel.
I have been watching a lot of your videos on the mistakes that people make in the gym. My doctor turned me on to your channel and I am astonished at how many mistakes I was making especially around my shoulders. No wonder my shoulders are so messed up. I'm so glad that I found your Channel💪
I've worked out on and off for over 20 years, but have gained more knowledge from discovering your videos a couple weeks ago than I ever did on my own. Thank you and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Jeff? Thank you for all the inspirational videos you have been posting along the years. My fitness journey has been quite a journey and you have been there for all of it! You are truly one of the heroes in my life
What a boring over used phrase my fitness journey 😴 🙄
This is super informative! Question for you... have you ever tried a meal plan from Next Level Diet? I got one and I love it!
Next Level Scam
You always provide topknotch information, I've been trying to work through a shoulder injury and your video will definitely help.
Thanks!
Thanks, man. I found your channel 2 days ago and have watched a few of your lessons. I found them very valuable and have already incorporated some of the actions into my routine.
You help me a lot with my workouts and explain things in simple terms and you're very honest with us all on how to build muscle. Thank you so much for your help and support bro. I look forward to seeing more videos and learning more from you.
You made some great points, Jeff. I remember you mentioning in an older video about unshrugging your shoulders in a bench press or pushup. It didn't occur to me till now that the same is important in other chest exercises. Also, you just gave me a valuable piece of advice when you said to work around injuries instead of through them. In my history of gym injuries, I would stop training for months before I would attempt to start training again. However, after watching your channel for a little while longer, I found that you provide a ton of knowledge in how to do that. All of this and more are reasons why you've helped me in my fitness journey, and I'm sure I could say the same for many others. Thanks for another helpful video.
Perfect video for any youngster out there! Already forwarded to nephew and his buddies! Thank you for what you do!
I think this is possibly your best video Jeff, definitely my favorite. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate you sharing your experience
Thank you Jeff for all you've done for me and continue to do! Been watching since before & throughout Jesse's journey. 🙌❤️💯
Jeff you're the best trainer of the World
I agree
“Of”
Você teria que conhecer todos os outros para ter certeza disso... Lorde das galáxias.
Facts!
@@Turtleofbread off course he is!
What a guy. Jeff thank you so much for these videos. Your '20 effective reps' technique from the 100 workouts , the '12 reps killing your gains' one, the stretch principle and some others are absolute gold. They all work. Taught me so much and for free. I feel like I owe you some money lol
Thanks always jeff brother for all all the tips you do, and the workout you show I share with my friends and myself obviously
With growing older, I have had to make adjustments. Seeing your video helps a lot. I am 63 years old, and now am trying band workouts that have actually lowered my shoulders pain quit considerably. Thanks for all your videos...they really do help and give me some training ideas!
So are you still doing bands? Give us an update...Thxs
I am still doing bands. I do higher reps as I am not trying to bulk out, and have lost some more weight around my stomach. More shoulders are a dually becoming more defined.
@@daveandcindyroman652Excellent that you're still keeping up with it!
You're a Beast! 😀
Quick idea here: how about a video specifically on corrective exercises and their benefits, thanks Jeff !
I second this. Iv only just found this channel but the dude has been massively helpful already.
All of your videos are gold! I log into AthleanX almost everyday, I don’t feel that “Thank you” really says it for me. I want you to know that without question, you and your videos and website have changed my life. 54 years old next month and have been training for 35 years and I am still learning. Please, Continue your great body of work!
I’ve watched your videos for years. I’m 44 now still keeping up with 20 year olds at the gym, thanks for all the tips!
I have done many more mistakes than you. Above all of them was the fact of not paying attention to my overall posture when training. Now, thanks to your advice, I am more aware than ever of this particular mistake. Thank you.
Always good to learn from others pitfalls. Especially when it's on platform like yours.. Have to give you credit for this upload Jeff! I'd love to see more behind he scenes as well!
Fantastic information and content. Such a great insight and teachings. Plus I WANT THAT FRIDGE!!!! Wow.
a very merry christmas (and other holidays) to all of you.
Mr. Cavalier,... you have taught me so much over the years.
Just want to say a huge "thank you" and "appreciate you".
May all your (good) dreams come true.
A very happy new year and another "thank you".
Jeff Cavaliere! Thank you for helping me get the body I've always wanted at 60 years old. I didn't look like this at 40 years old.
I was doing so many things wrong, trying to build a chest, let alone any other body parts. No more.
Your level of expertise is unsurpassed!
Thank you for changing lives for the positive. You're the best!
Phenomenal video Jeff. Great advice all round. I especially emphasise the point of training around injuries. I've had a nerve pain in my arm whilst deadlifting for a while now. I decide to replace the barbell with dumbells and have had no trouble with it since.
Pain in the forearm?
Probably the best video u have ever done. Love how straight to the point all the constant information was
What a video, great tips and excellent experience passed on. Thank you Jeff.
I’d add only two Things I would add to this list is the importance of stretching after a workout or even after correctional exercises or even just taking a day where you just stretch and do just correctional exercises. Your body and it’s flexibility will thank you years later down the rode. Your muscles, tendons. The importance of getting enough sleep. Your body needs sleep wether you like it or not. Im happy you did this. Everything else I appreciate that you covered Jeff. I take pride in getting to where I am. The only major mistakes i made is I thought I had to cut out most sugar, fats, and bad carbs and have huge amounts of protein to get “shredded” or lean with muscle. I also didn’t always sleep the best and I never ever stretched after a workout or took a day to work on my flexibility (and as someone who became a calisthenic athlete that was very important regardless if I was one or not) great video and I hope my comment from my shared experience helps someone out there as well!
Love your content, Jeff! I’m 54 years old and getting stronger, feeling better and looking better each day thanks to your advise and expertise! Don’t stop!
Trained on & off all my life, 47 in June, now 8 weeks back in to a new lifestyle schedule including improved diet, improved sleep pattern, a 1 mile uphill march warmup, 1hr-1hr 20min weights & resisitance and a 1/4 mile swim every day Mon-Fri before work. Like everyone I have my prefferred exersize's and bad habits that creep in over time, old injuries that I have to work around; but spending time watching Athlean-X, learning and re-learning from Jeff always proves invaluable. Anyone looking to improve their physical-self and wondering which of UA-cam's infinate advice channels to watch and learn from, THIS IS THE ONE. Many thanks Jeff.
As someone whose life revolved around the gym, meal prep and training regimens from 2000-2016…trust me when I tell you:
This man is preaching wisdom and honesty.
This channel looks to be doing great things.
Train smart. Train hard. Thanks for putting this together. 🙌 ✌️
As usual he is as humble as he is strong. God bless 💪
Just love your videos. Kudos for being so transparent about your struggles and saving us from the same mistakes.
so many juicy nuggets in this video !! Thank you for being vulnerable to admit “ mistakes”
so that we can learn from you .
So, I emailed Jeff for advice on how to continue exercising while dealing with a shoulder injury. Instead of responding, jeff makes a video where I feel like he was talking directly to me with number 15.
Thank you, kind sir
Search athleanx shoulder injury
I’ve had some shoulder pain In the rear part of my shoulder for about two weeks. After doing some research it seemed like a weird one since most people get pain on the top or front. The other weird thing was that the only thing that would cause me pain is external rotation. I started doing resistance exercises that you suggested and am convinced it was due to impingement because after two days of doing it my shoulder is already MUCH better. These are now a daily exercise for me to keep my mobility up. Thanks for all the tips!
Could also have something to do with the rotator cuff. I had a similar injury a few years ago and it sounds a lot like what you described. Warming up with some band work for your shoulders and doing underhanded pull aparts may help.
@@EricVasquez203 Yeah i've been doing that and it has 100% made an improvement!
Love the videos and programs. Doing AX1 again for the 3rd time in about 5 years and I need it more than ever!
Hey Jeff that is awesome that your still providing value to people online for free. By far I think no one can beat your channel. Because of the no nonsense approach you have in the way you show people anyone can get fit. Some of the fitness gurus dont take into account the human anatomy like you do. I could go on and on. But I love baseball Analogy and you seem to have all the bases covered when it comes to fitness.
Jeff, I absolutely relate to the flat feet saga, and learning to listen to my body rather than do more leg extensions. I've found one of the best leg exercises for my flat feet and achy knees is to drag a weighted rubber 50 gallon trash can backwards for about 20 yards. Most leg exercises aggravate my knees, but that really fires up every muscle in my legs without hurting my knees. Discovered it at work, pulling a loaded can to the compacter.
5:56 I'd love to see a detailed video on muscle cramps and what triggers them. My biceps cramp up quite often either when doing curls or chin-ups.
Same for my calves. I was pinching my nerve
@@zachlewis2751 beware that you don’t have anterior compartment syndrome. I have extremely developed calves , ignored the pain/cramping and now have had multiple surgeries and have significant neuropathy . My calves are down to about 16.5 inches but , aside from the giant scars , still look very well developed . Obviously can’t train them anymore but you should get that looked at before it gets too outta hand.
Watch this video

Skip the chinup for now
The way you describe your eating habits.
Described me perfectly.
I respect how you are humble about this when you have a great success. You being not shy of sharing your weakness only adds to your greatness. Quite refreshing to be honest in a field where the self admiration can be suffocating
Great video. I can definitely relate to #3. In the '70s just following the "manual" on old Diversified Products eqipment was not good. In the 80's, "no pain, no gain" could be an error. Those things resulted in some back problems that stuck with me until I started Jeff's "pretzel stretch."
Ha! Diversified Products! I remember that equipment! It's a miracle we survived (that being said, it was all most of could afford - and without it, we may have never started training at all)
@@test123497 Yep, absolute truth. 👍
Stop having kids, y’all! No one asks to be born, & no one has the moral right to inflict serious, preventable harms upon others without their consent-harms being pain, fear, worry, sickness, injury, grief/loss, fatigue, death. Besides, it’s morally wrong to place someone in a position from which death is the only escape!,.
You took church attendance seriously and we’re blessed with a revelation for your training because of that 🤣🙌🏼 15:26
So glad i found you.. everything you speak of is truthful and knowledgeable..
You’re 100 series is a game changer for getting a kick ass workout in quick time before going to work! Thank you Jeff!
Rest, rest, rest!
Going to bed at 10pm instead of 1am - even if I got 8 hours sleep. There’s a big difference between 8 hours of sleep that starts from 10pm then if it starts from 1am.
A rest day
A Deload week
Heck
Even a week off from the gym has helped me ENORMOUSLY.
Fax
@@coachtim6188 personally, I think the problem would be if you’re forcing yourself into exhaustion, or an unhealthy state to stay up till 1 AM.
If you stay up until 1 AM like clockwork, and you feel amazing with no issues, probably not a problem.
@@MrSirDudeGuy Nope there's nothing wrong with it.
Jeff actually sleeps at 1am-8am.
Just get your 7-8 hours that fits your schedule
😮😮😮 Most of my mistakes have been in the kitchen. Since I felt like I could eat anything while working out… I DID! 😮😮😮
Very honest and very relatable, thanks for the input, Jeff.
This was amazing. Love it. We are grateful for you!
*Amazed by your hard work! Your tips are always making my workouts bette!. I always dreamed of helping people like u bro, now trying my best so thanks for the motivation and best wishes form Ukraine*
Jeff face pulled his way out of birth
That was the regret i was expecting. I expected him to regret not starting to do facepulls as soon as he was born.
My feet started having problems with arch dropping and I didn’t know why but I decided at that time to always take care of my feet by buying support shoes and treating my feet like a King.. it paid off about 2 later and I still do my best to get and keep my feet in great shape.. now I’m happy and my feet are not hurting me anymore
When being 20 years old is killing your gains.
Best vlog ever. I'm much older then you and now am looking at a shoulder replacement. My lifting addiction will be seriouly challenged. Made pretty much the same mistakes you did but learned too late. Hope you can do one, or a series, on corrective & compensation exercises.
I'm new to the channel and really benefiting from the content. Thanks!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your knowledge and videos. Thank you for posting these videos to help us.
Excellent as always. The Face Pull along with W, Y and T are a game changer for shoulder pain. Banded int-ext rotation a daily event for my coaching clients.
This is a very inspiring speech. Thanks!💪🏽
Big love from Argentina.
I'm so glad these videos are not just a advertisement for the program that means so much. And since then it makes me want to go to the website and actually do the program without him telling me to
It is never easy to talk about your own mistakes; it takes strength. I'm grateful that you chose to do so and share yours so we can all become better for it.
Jeff, excellent video! In fact, all of your videos are an inspiration to me. Thanks for your advice for both exercises & nutrition! You're right, it's crazy how much sugar is loaded into foods, and reading those nutrition labels is a wake up call !!!
Wow this was a great video out of all the thousands and thousands of trainers you are one of the best THANK YOU
Wow, so many good tips and lessons to learn from ! Thanks Jeff !
Thanks again although I know a lot of this I still benefit by hearing it again. Your videos really are the best thing on UA-cam for many reasons. Not just from a weight lifter perspective (I am not a weight lifter but a cyclist) But your videos are applicable to so many things in training for any sport or just fitness. I can also tell you that your physical therapy videos have helped me so many times both for slipped lower back disc's & also rotator cuff/shoulder type pain/ injuries. The way you show what is going on with your example skeleton etc is all great! Thanks again! I plan to look at some of your home programs as part of my 2023!
Thank you Jeff for an excellent reminder and summary of what training is all about, as always it is very convenient!
Thank you for sharing the grand depth of experience and knowledge that have elevated you to where you are today. Huge respect.
One of your best videos.Great advice .Thanks jeff!
This is probably the single greatest fitness video ever made on UA-cam! Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome video with so much really helpful insights .. Thank you 🙏
Man! This is, hands down, one of my favorite videos from this channel.
I go through fazes of binge watching Athlean over the years...HOW does he not run out of valuable info and vids. He's Still the best!
I can’t believe this info is free. Thank you!
What a great video! I’ll have to watch it a few more times but one of the most impressive things was that refrigerator of yours😮
That was another excellent video. Thanks, Jeff.
Thanks to this channel, I have added the face-pull and/or prone jacks to the end of all my workouts.
I could not stop looking at what was on the bar in the background
Thanks Jeff for your work
Been following Jeff for almost six years. Always solid advice🔥🔥🔥🔥
Always great videos !! Thankyou for sharing your knowledge...it always helps me out.👍👍👍👍
Thank you, great video!
I've learned a lot 🙏🏻!
Amazing content, as always, thanks Jeff!
Great stuff as usual. Keep these vids coming. Im a hybrid in that I use three or four different instructors to help me match my own body’s type of learning. But yours is one of the top two depending on where I am.
