Workout Mistake - The Big FAT Strength Lie!
Вставка

- Have you been told that strength is everything when it comes to seeing gains from your workouts? If so, you are making the biggest workout mistake you can be making and you’re definitely going to want to watch this video. Here I am going to address the big fat strength lie that is more rampant now than ever before. Now, don’t get me wrong. Strength training is and always will be the cornerstone and the focal point of your workouts. That said, doing this without focusing on the roots of that strength is going to lead you down a troubled path.

So you may have been told that strength is the most important element you want to address in your training. Without it, everything else will suffer and therefore you need to make sure you are maximally strong at all costs. While being strong is crucial, building strength on a weak foundation is one of the biggest workout mistakes that you can make. The key to building true strength is to realize that just like a tree, you’re only as strong as your roots.
In the world of training this means that if there is something that can be impaired that takes your strength away from you, then the strength is not the foundation. Much like a tree may look strong above the ground, if you examined below the surface and saw weak and dying roots that tree is not going to be standing for much longer - no matter how big and strong it may appear.
So what you need to focus on is prefacing your strength progression with a solid base of full flexibility, mobility and stability. Now many people will look at this and say to themselves that they are getting it right because they are doing at least 30 minutes of mobility work and stretching before they work out. That is not necessarily even a good thing. Why? Because if you are just adding additional range of motion to a system that is not stable, then you are going to be even more likely to break down and commit this devastating workout mistake.
Stability is not strength. It is a form of strength that is not measured by the contractile force of a muscle but rather the ability to control the contraction throughout the range of motion (and even at both extreme ends of it). In the example of a squat, a person that is incredibly stable will be able to perform the squat and pause at the bottom of the rep. Beyond that however, they need to be able to return to the top in one piece without desegmentation of the body on the way up. They need to be able to not have their knees drift in or out, or their hips waver side to side at any point.
When one is maximally stable, they are maximally efficient in their bar path during the squat and have no wasted motion. Their rep speed is unhindered or unslowed throughout the entire range of motion. This may mean that you need to drop the weight that you are using a bit in order to realize this level of control. If so, then do so. The goal is not to simply chase numbers at the expense of your stability.
Working on your mobility and flexibility as well are going to be vital to getting through a full range of motion and commanding the true strength you do have along the way. If and only if you do this will you ever realize your true strength without risk of incurring injuries like hip labral tears, low back blowouts and unnecessary hip joint and muscle pain.

Hey Jeff, I think it would be awesome if you did a series on your favorite mobility, flexibility, and stability exercises for each body part
He already created a playlist
@@MrFrezeer which playlist? I'm gonna go binge watch it
@Manuel Garnica Did Jeff creat videos about stability? I can't find them.
@@tdw-rk9gh Stability is doing everything with balanced formed
I think you can inculcate calisthenics and mobility in your workouts to strengthen mobility, flexibility and stability
@@MrFrezeer thanks for this, man.
You know thing gets serious when Jeff wears a shirt
D I professor Jeff wears a shirt
Lolololololollololololololololol
He's finally figured we would be distracted by his pumped up, lean, veiny, hairless nipples
I know Jeff owned a shirt however it conflicts with the image I hold of the man.
Shirts are Jeff's eye glasses
The three mechanisms to build your foundation are progressive overload on face pulls, eccentrics on face pulls, and high rep metabolic stress face pulls.
Doctors hate Jeff for this one simple trick to make your tree bigger
I choked on my lunch when I read this comment.
You, sir, deserve a medal for that
I love your comment. Deserves to be on the top.
FERTILIZER IS KILLING YOUR TREE GROWTH (TOO MUCH NITROGEN)
@@vaanes what if you fed your tree beetroot
To increase *stability-*
*1.* Hold for 1 second at the point of maximum tension
*2.* Follow the 2-1 rule. Take 2 seconds for the movement along gravity. 1 second against it.
This helped me big time!
Thank you for writing something informative compared to all these stupid jokes about Jeff. Gonna try that soon!
Do I smell a new series? Stability work shoulders hips and knees! Love it Jeff good work
That'd be helpful. Lol
yes please
Yes! Stability videos please!
Yes, im down.
I wish so. from all parts of this tree my shoulders only have mobility (one of them lacks a little). the more I train them the weaker they get.no size increase & no more strength.
"When you trim the hedges, The Tree looks bigger."
Can confirm
“ when you put a swing on the tree across a river in a storm in Nebraska.... your rear delta get bigger””.... wait wtf hahahahahaha
Yup.
Is that from Confucius?
Thanks for being the best physical therapist/trainer I could ever get
.. and UA-cam channel
Couldn't have said it any better!...👌💪😲👉🏋️♂️
Please Jeff do videos about the roots : mobility, flexibility and stability!!!
Would be really helpful ^-^ thanku
Are you trying to turn into a dude?
How is Jeff cavaliere's videos are for free? This guy is a BEAST.
They're constantly promoting products he sells though
Shuuuuuuutttt upppppp.. dc
Need to get 1 of his programs to see max benefits though. I have AX1 and max size theyre great!
Because monetization
@Thor Odinson Yeah the advertisement is barely noticeable but what I just find it a bit naïve when there's always someone in the comments section wondering how those tips are free

Could you make a video on general mobility/flexibility standards?
I second this
Yes. I sit all day at my desk. I need this.
@@gordonfreeman8796 go to Tom Merrick and critical bench for some stretching tips.
Good question i agree with Totoro :D
Totoro iis great
Well now I feel like I just had a heart-to-heart with Jeff. Probably due to the fact he said "the root system underneath is what matters." And now I'm crying .
What's up guys Jeff Cavalier "Better luck next time" dot caaamn.
lmao true
Good one
Should have been "DAAT CAAM"
dammit
Lucky me, I won today💪
Since you talked about the roots which are very important, will you make a video on how to improve you stability, mobility and flexibility? I mean stability is kinda controling your movement, but the 2 other need to be adressed and i do not know how. Some advice will help. Thank you for the videos and keep it up!

Jeff, just wanted to thank you, a zillion times if you will. Couple of years ago I had a dislocated clavicle practicing Brazilian Jiu jitsu, my hobby or sport some might say, the two tendons holding the collar bone in place got overstretched due to a fall. After the accident I never thought I could train again, anything, as even doing push-ups would cause me discomfort and pain as I could feel my bones grinding inside my shoulder. I was unhappy until I started following you, in one of your videos you spoke about an exercise everyone should do everyday, which is using the resistance band from a Y position, underhand, to correct posture and that solved my problem. My shoulder now is in the right place and I can do any exercise without discomfort. I couldn’t tell enough how happy I am. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. You are the most knowledgeable, passionate, authentic and most importantly - caring coach/physical therapist that I have ever seen. Perhaps you could give some tips on strengthening the neck safely, as I’m 43 and was diagnosed with neck arthritis. Some say is manageable with exercises but I don’t know which ones to do. Anyway, you’re an exemplar human being. Thanks
Mobility, Stability, & Flexibility are extremely important! Please make more videos on improving mobility, stability, & flexibility.
I've always wanted to improve these, but the number of videos on this channel on these topics (especially related to specific areas) is tiny compared to other content. Please make more videos based on mobility, stability, and flexibility for different muscle groups. Also, please give details on what we can do. Also, please provide more information on this to your existing programs.
Also quit asking so much questions. Jeff is busy!
His latest program beasxt has some really nice mobility/flexibility work on your regen days and its great but i agree, it needs to be incorporated more into his other work for sure.
Yeah, there are some vids (stretching mostly) but I would love more on topic 😍
@@FinalHeresy Ya, the mobility stuff on the regen days on Beaxst are great. His Zen 10 warm up is also good. However, I have Max Size, Max Shred, and AX2 and none of this stuff is in any of those programs. I'm thinking I am going to have to add a Yoga routine to help with my mobility, flexibility, & stability.
He actually has a lot of information on these topics scattered throughout the channel, they just don't have their own videos, for the very reasons he highlights here. Just like they are at the core of strength and successful workouts - a lot of the videos he has about specific alternative exercises or fixing pain in given places is secretly mostly information about mobility and stability - stuff like his videos on ending workouts with facepulls is actually just all about shoulder mobility and stability for example.
Legend has it, Jeff Cavaliere created the infinity stones

Strength is killing your gains
No
If you’ve got shit form, nothing else will matter when you herniate your disk. So yeah, strength can kill your gains
@@ScantSphinx9 No, bad form is killing your gains... you said it yourself
Nailed it! It's amazing what you can accomplish when you take the steps to improve your mobility/flexibility/stability. Most guys don't realize the importance these play in overall strength and put them on the back burner. Great video Jeff!
We all know the real workout mistake is internally rotating your shoulders and not ending with facepulls.
*Thanks Jeff it's all I think about now!*
LYFElyne - Habits, Productivity, Motivation are face pulls that important or is it a meme? Haha I can’t tell
@@doodjenkins4038 yes and yes
Dood Jenkins they are amazing for the upper back you should definitely be doing them.
The real workout mistake is dumbbell flyes on a bench. And not doing facepulls.
I really really appreciate this brutal honesty. Im a colligate middle distance runner ( lots of milage) . I looked pretty good , i had endurance for 16 mile long runs. A national qualifier. All of that to say, iv been out from being able to complete for 4 months because of some issues with my iliapsoas/ glute medius . We still have no idea whats going on. But i can promise that a lot of it has to do with my roots. Running 70 miles a week, i neverrrr worked on any of the roots Jeff is talking about. And now im literally trying to humble myself to start over.
KEN ANNE I never got anywhere near your level, think decent level club runner doing 5k to half marathons. Trained for a full marathon twice and both times got injured due to hip injuries that were some combination of glute medius/IT band/hip flexor etc. I can see now this was due to not taking care of the roots and just focusing on mileage. Hope you make a swift and full recovery. FWIW I found yoga, strength training and sports massage super useful
Love when Jeff goes into lesson/whiteboard mode!
Just wanted to add that your overall whole approach to fitness as encompassing strength, hypertrophy, athleticism, injury prevention, health, and genuine scientific understanding and curiosity has been an inspiration for our own fitness careers and a model for how we put out our own content. Thanks for the continued high quality work!
wow...I'm blown away that I can watch a video of yours...1, 2, 4 years old...whatever...and still take away valuable priceless information that directly and immediately improves my performance.
We're really fucking lucky to have you Jeff. Thank you so much mate.
Jeff Cavaliere,
Your attention to detail and willingness to dig DEEP is amazing. Thank you for your continual concern for your followers and telling us how it is. You’re the BEST!
The knowledge and the teachings... Jeff you are one of the greatest coaches of all time! This is no doubt one of the best videos you’ve ever made!! Thank you so much!!
This is exactly what I was calling out Enkiri for on his Athlean X is not a Strength Coach vid. “PT bias”....ffs. We’ve never met but your videos have been integral in me overcoming significant physical disabilities. Looking at strength training from an informed point of you building from stability mobility and flexibility has been a lifesaver for me so thanks.
Please do a video for people that work manual labor. Best time to workout? How often to workout? Intensity of workout? Calorie intake/nutrition? Full body workout, 1 muscle group, or splits? Etc. I do construction/home improvement and I'm having a difficult time achieving the body that I want. I'm close. I just need your help.
Thanks for all the great content. Jeff you are the best in the business! Please keep up the great work you're doing and I hope you can make a video for us who work manual labor and workout.
@@aaronpaul1
I do home improvement. So everyday is different as far as work goes. And it's tough for me, my body never gets "use" to it because it's always changing. Def energy or lack of it is my biggest problem. Esp since I'm trying to stay in a caloric deficit so my 6 pack will really pop and my stomach looks flat. But being in a caloric deficit kills my energy both at work and when I workout. Also with work duties changing from day to day it's difficult for me to get on a good workout schedule. I dont know if I would be better off working out before work, right after work, or a couple hours after work. What's your thoughts?
@@aaronpaul1
Thanks for all the info and advice. I think I'm going to try to start working out in the am. I may try not to be in such a deficit and just go back to more frequent small meals. Thanks again bud
I see a lot of these types of misconceptions in the gym, especially during summer and the time leading up to it. Lots of people coming in and trying to lift heavy with poor technique and obvious with their lack of knowledge on how to get stronger.
im so sorry
Agree, though lifting heavy is very important and you should always try to test your limit every session, but it is reckless to go up in weight quickly when you're a beginner, since you never learn proper form this way and destroy your joints
I've watched / agreed with many, hundreds, of Jeff Cavalier 's UA-cam videos.
This one, simply, is the most profound. So well said. So on point. Perfectly passionate and persuasive.
I feel like I owe him money.
C.T. Fletcher- "I COMMAND YOU TO GROW!"
Jeff Cavaliere- "Command your reps."
You give so much information, we can all learn from. Keep it going, I love to watch your videos!!
Jeff I just want to say thank you man
One of your best and most helpful videos ever - and that's saying a lot because they're all great! Even as a weight lifting newbie (and as a 58 years old grandma) it seemed so confusing ... strength vs hypertrophy ... now you've helped me understand the underlying roots. Thanks!
Lately I've been working more on my mobilitly and flexibility and it has really madw a big difference in my strenght training! Thank you for another great informational video! Always learning a lot from you.
This is why I have a hard time doing anyone else workout programs. I always get injured and have to stop because I don't master the basics of body movement (Flexibility, Stability, Mobility). Everyone starts in a different place and you are one of the few who understands that and can break it down into steps everyone can follow. Thanks Jeff! You the GOAT
Always love the completeness of the description, saves a lot of time! thanks Jeff, efficient in everything!
Yes I'm sick of all those "Instagram coaches" who only speak of hypertrophy training. Im working towards becoming a physical therapist thanks to you Jeff. Keep inspiring 🙏
Silver Maple (left) - vs - Ash. Ash wood is stronger. Silver Maple is weak, branches break off frequently, etc., but Silver Maples are impossible to kill. If the whole thing falls over, branches will shoot up from the grounded trunk. Butcher an Ash back too hard, it dies. Butcher a S Maple back, it just bushes out more aggressively. So, which is stronger, Athlean-X, the Silver Maple, or the ash? Which, indeed.
I'm thinking the Ash. All of those roots at the surface on the Silver Maple indicate that it gets a lot of water from ground level (probably lawn sprinklers). The Ash had to send roots deeper to find water which would also add to its stability.
@@TorquemadaTwist Actually, some varieties of Ash do to tend to split out/fall over. The Silver Maple's a weed tree - you can't stop 'em. It is a water tree, though. I guess desertification would stop them. Ash might be stronger, SM's more resilient. Verdict: Acer Victoria
Yoga 🧘♀️Is a great way to improve your roots. Don’t sleep on yoga 🧘♀️
Never that. I lift 5 days a week. On my "rest days" I do yoga. Sent my gains through the roof
True.
Agreed
Facts!
Bro science lmao
This is pure knowledge and common sense at the same time. Thanks Jeff for making intellectual exercise is as important as physical exercise!
Jeff nailed this on the head. Your strength is disturbed when your stability, mobility, or flexibility are disrupted in any way.
Look at any 4 legged table. Most tables have a flat foot cap under the legs of the table. Those caps are so thin you cant see it but they help prevent the bottom of the table from wearing out and scratch the floor. But if one cap is missing your stability is off a little thus leaving it off balance and the total capacity of weight (strength) the table can hold up is now jeopardized. Jeff your on point sir! Thank you sir.
Thanks Jeff ! At 62 I'm probably in better shape than when I was 42 ! My problem is flexibility , primarily in hips and lower back! I've done yoga ( along with Kenpo and following Arthur Jones Nautilus Fitness philosophy and program) but I still lack flexibility, HELP !
Sorry fella there's no cure for age, even Jeff will find it hard to get it up when he's older... weights that is... no magical exercises for age!...😂
Agreed. Proper alignment, too, is one of the roots.
Could you do a video on how to improve stability across the whole body to improve strength
Didn’t find this out until I turned 40 and pulled my back. Being in bed for two weeks I swore I had a slipped disc . My physical therapist told me nope it was an imbalance in my hips . Hip muscles (especially gluteus med ) were not firing and I had a week core. As a gym rat , yogi and martial artist I thought that’s impossible I kick all the time and I can do 500 sit-ups no problem etc. She had me try multiple stability exercises and I could not do one properly. I could barely get 10 reps on the core exercises . She said I was weak underneath it all. I had flexibility, mobility but zero stability. Hence my huge respect for Physical therapy. She healed me without surgery or pain meds.
I've been changing the way I workout lately because of your videos and this just solidifies it. Thanks for all your tips and explanations!
This blows my mind.. I recently made some huge PR gains in my dead lift and squat but in the back of my head I never feel fully satisfied because I know my form lacks.. Thanks for bringing me ego back down to Earth Jeff. Back to foundation!
I can't imagine how and why Jeff manages to give me an "Aha" moment in every video!!
As always very informative.. thanks team!
Good day Jeff
This video was a true eye-opener, wow. I've always "known" that mobility, flexibility and stability are important, but not why. Well now I know, and I feel empowered and filled with enthusiasm. Also, the reason why your channel is so impressive and important to me is the level of knowledge, your capability and enthusiasm for transmitting that knowledge, and most importantly that make people realize that they should stop behaving like babies and start understand that they need to take control of their lives and habits and that what separated those that succeed from others is the level of commitment, nothing else (barring very unfortunate life circumstances).
I've for one behaved like a 41 year old youngster for too long a time, it's time to say bye bye to that kid and step up my game.
Have a great day
Haven't watched the video yet, but I just wanted to say that if I don't win next time, I am gonna ship a dozen carrot cakes to Athlean-X HQ.
It just got real
PrimusPilusVorenus lol, this made my day 😂
I'd rather stick with the carrots. We all know Jeff eats cake just once a year, when he celebrates his birthday in the gym, while doing a full back & biceps training session. Only one bite, tho.
Count me in, I'm sharing some bucks for that if I don't win as well
@@andrei-cosmin.popa85 im with Jeff on that one. I dont like cake and sweets that much. I do like burgers, pizza, fried chicken, and Chinese food though, which really is not healthy either , but you got to have some bad vices in life i guess.
From now on your my favorite biology teacher FOR EXERCISE
Because of Jeff, I aspire to become a Physical Therapist :>
Same here 😁
I as well. 😆
Love these videos ... the science behind everything. I'm a paramedic, in my 30s, not in a great shape nor one of those hitting the gym frequently, just enough to be able to do my job. Didn't want to admit it to myself but it was because I had an injury for which I had to work really hard to get thru to be able to become fit enough for my job. At one point it seemed like it couldn't be done and I wouldn't become a paramedic, but I made it. Never really "pushed" myself in workouts after that because as long as I was good enough to do my job, didn't want to push myself or get injured ever again cause now I have a family to think about as well. It's not like I wasn't really aware of some of these reasons Jeff goes thru from time to time, but usually trainers don't bother about these. I had been watching Jeff's videos for a while now and finally signed up for one of the program because I trust that it'll guide thru proper techniques and focusing on foundations more than just telling you to do some random workouts every time. I feel I trust him enough to push myself harder again thru his program. I'll get started on the program in a month or so and can't wait to continue improving, and more importantly, keeping me fit and less prone to injuries.
Thank you Jeff @Athlean-x
6:45 I knew I was wasting my time putting a lacrosse ball up my ass before a heavy lift. Thanks Jeff!!
We laugh at it, but i bet someone some where is doing it at this very moment .
Lmfao🤣....teeheehee.....
Jeff keep being the PT. You are the best UA-cam fitness content creator. You speak truth and if i could afford a trainer you would be it.
I just thought of something amazing JEFF ON JOE ROGAN PODCAST
Why??
Somehow I don't think Jeff does weed.
Great information! I’ve noticed my dumbbell bench press dwindled at some point, because I pressed (or lifted on other exercises) without a focused mind throughout each rep. However, I didn’t realize it until the hurt directed my awareness...and it did! Then I had to figure out where I screwed up. Point is, the muscle itself didn’t suddenly get smaller, less capable, but the sole issue was a lack of stability at certain point(s) during the press. Very aggravating to know I have the strength but can’t utilize it! However, once I corrected the lift / press with proper form, less weight -gulp- AND regular corrective exercises (thank you Jeff!) my stability is returning, but man it’s a slow process; more so since I’m 64 years old! Still, you’ve saved me a world of hurt! 64? That still seems weird to say.
John, I’m 65 and this video is great. As we age we need to focus on stability to keep from falling over and breaking something. Good luck on your journey!
My body changed after following a couple of your workout.
Thank you so much Jeff for inspiring me. There are definitely still more room to improve! Can't wait for your next video. ^.^
Actually buy his program on athleanX.com . It's awesome and it's very cheap for life. $79 or $99 for an extra add on. You do the program, reset it, and use it again ,OR buy another 1 and keep progressing. TRUST me,it'll be worth every cent. From the videos he has in each days program to the food menus, and pre and post workout shakes, it all changes your body for greatness. The community is also FANTASTIC. I'm 46 and it has fixed my weaknesses and I use to be all about pound and ground. Now I'm loving the lean and mean machine this program turns you into. Watched his videos for years and in 2013 I went all in,now I only look back to say ,THANK YOU GOD FOR JEFF CAVALIERE!!
@@necro699 I might give it a try. I got ripped asf by following him... I am losing 6kg in two months, of course my afford counts too... ^.^
@@chu9091 WOW!! That is awesome brother. If its working for you like this,Great!! If you want to see how he put the SCIENCE behind it,THEN buy the program. I got the program because I needed a new direction. I used to body build and was always bulking up. Now I'm older and want to shred and still be strong. I followed Jeff for years and then said..what the heck,lemme go for it. Changed my mind about being big ass hell. I'm looking forward to shredding and aging strongly. GOOD LUCK in your adventure and keep up the great work fam!!
You're the greatest teacher I've ever had. I really mean that. Your demonstrations are concise and easy to understand at the same time.
Honestly jeff you inspired me to make the channel I have today and for that thank you my man🙏
Crew Aesthetics nice bro
Just went to PT today! It's been said before, but the timing of these videos!!
@ATHLEAN-X Jeff I'm a little drunk right now, but we love you man. You're more than a trainer to many of us, you're a teacher. And your principles are reaching us all the way in India so keep up the amazing work. Best wishes.
Good, practical information Jeff! The human body and it's muscles aren't really is simple as many of us think they are.
I only do the bottom quarter of the ATG squat so I'm all stable.
If i had the bucks i would go for your suppliments! I am 59 and in giood shape! I've been following you for a long time ! I am from Canada and you have been helping me for a long time ! continue the good advices!
Wish can talk to this guy bout my problems this gym thing pretty confusing tryna gain weight but also strength
Same. Its tough as fuck
What do you mean gain weight and also strength? Its not like you will gain 20 lbs and no strength
It really isn't. You need to throw around some heavy weight, progress over time and eat a lot of food. The majority of the population obsess over details whilst neglecting the fundamentals.
Keep it simple.
Honestly Jeff you’re a great teacher. You stress the key points. This is one of my favorite videos. You are an iceberg. It’s not about how Titanic you look but how well you stay afloat. Double thumbs 4U
How to improve mobility, stability, & flexibility!
Was so excited to hear what you had to say in this man, and I was happy to hear how adamant you were on these points!
I really never been this early to a video
Ye me too
Me neither...
This early, still lost the giveaway. *Sigh.*
Not being early is killing your gains!!
You got an early mark today
That was an excellent "No Bullshit" lesson taught right there. Jeff certainly knows his stuff
Am I the only guy who got uncomfortable watching the piece of paper that was sticking on the bottom of the board?
TheProsico Yes.
I was gonna say that!!!! That is, until I saw you had said it first, lol
9:34 absolutely true. I have been to quite a few gyms on a trial basis, got trainers who start yapping on the strength training and all that shit to a beginner when they forgot I was a beginner to fitness and had to be acquainted with the basics first, from scratch. The place I went to just called my focus and doing some good old exercises on stabilization of the core or the workout and my flexibility and the ability to move with that all things that belong to an "old aunty's old school exercise book" (in India an Aunty and it's references in conversations are supposed to be demeaning to a young woman/girl, btw) and lifting and piling on weights was the new thing in workouts now. After picking a lot of arguments all the time (I was wobbling on my lunges and the guy was bothered about how many reps I was NOT doing. Really??) I left that so-called gym with "the best trainers in industry right now" and came back to scratch. Strength really is when you can hold that position without toppling over or wobbling all over the place. That is when you know your core is there for you and then you improvise with the movements and it's range and then build from there. Doesn't matter then you lift how much or do how many reps, never sacrifice the form. I knew I was arguing for the right reasons when I saw this video today. Subscriber for life!!! This guy definitely is the real deal?
Same thing observed here. From India as well. All the videos you see on social media is about the number of weights, the higher the number the better it is apparently. Same mentality as scoring high in exam without knowing the fundamentals.
Your best bet is a home gym with minimal equipment and starting with body weight exercises. This channel has plenty of videos to identity your weak muscle groups, each and every group that is important. Plenty of videos to correct postures while exercising to minimise injury chances.
Explore whatever is here on the channel and see what suits you since it's a lifelong journey. Once I get to a normal body mass I will get one of their programs to go further. Till then just the content here has enough pointers to let you know where you are right now and how to take the next step.
Good luck !
Jeff please make a few videos on hamstring injury recovery and prevention. Us football players and track runners struggle with that, even with strong glutes...
He just explained it in the video. Your foundation. Work on that as rehabilitation and every day to improve yourself.
Stretching stretching stretching and hydration
@@Keyurong bru im doing all that. Still having issues. My dad was a long jumper (real good one as well) and he pulled his left ham 6 (!!) Times within like 2 years (age 21-23). He was coached by professionals and did lots of stretching, flexibility work etc but still...
@@Kencio26 If you're getting injured, your foundation has cracks in it. Work on those 3 he pointed out. Do research on them. Do yourself the favor.
Very nice video! BTW - I bought and followed the AX-1 program about a year ago, and have learned a lot from Jeff's videos too. I had a fun experience earlier this week on a business trip, some of the guys there wanted to workout in the morning and invited me to join them. I'm 55 years old and don't have the bulging biceps and look of these younger guys that invited me - but when it came to compound lifts and exercises that required stability, they started struggling. They were calling it "old man strength" - when you're struggling to move something up and some old guy just picks it up and carries it away :-)
Jeff " Why no one won the giveaway LESSON LEARNED" Cavalire
This video has to be one of the most important ones I have ever seen on training - I did not really appreciate the "base" - thanks!
i wonder how many people that win actually use the program they won
David Vetter-Steinberg I wonder if half the the people that watch these videos actually 1. do them 2. Implement in to there regimen 😂
@@James-303CO ha i keep book marking them and planning to but so far the only thing i do is face pulls after my workouts. kinda hoping ax1 just covers the rest
I’m doing it right now love it
David Vetter-Steinberg I got ax1 it’s bad ass and I’m gonna run through it again
I try to follow his advices. I stopped doing planks, I try to find his videos on all exercises I do so I can do them better.
I have been categorizing those three as my form and I have been focusing on it for the last year with all big lifts, I feel like explaining it as proper form and explaining it with the use of these three terms is going to be much more beneficial for personal trainers
Me back in the day: motivation, dedication, determination.
Now: mobility, flexibility...
Same here, after I did my shoulders in.
That's why I began with deadlifts with a friend. I don't really care much about body building, nor getting ripped, but I know my quality of life will improve tremendously if I can work on my posture. I want to try squats soon, and my goal is to be able to stand straight and feel that connection from the sole of my feet to the top of my head. They're obviously not the only things in doing to exercise, but they're the ones I care for the most.
As a yoga instructor and personal trainer I'm happy to see this video
I found this video right implementing more hypertrophy and strength work to. build muscle. I've been struggling with plateaus and joint pain recently. I plan on working more on mobility and stability along with my workouts. Thank you!
Jeff, what's your take on yoga as a source for mobility, flexibility and stability?
i think it helps... and is relaxing as fuck, it helped me with anxiety crisis
Very good, as well Pilates. Everyone should do that.
@@PsicheViolata i think pilates is better in those terms to exercise
It'll kill your gains...
Jeff actually does yoga on his days off
I've been watching Jeff for around 5 years now and have watched this video a couple times. But never really could fully appreciate what and why he was saying here. Had a labrum tear a month back because of my weak stabilizing muscles. Now I see what he means.
I'm mostly recovered now, again thanks to Jeff's videos and knowledge I could recover faster. My local physios were stupid and ready to fuck up my shoulder even more.
Jeff,
I am a firefighter and my workouts often get interrupted by calls. At what point should I come back and complete them vs. just be happy with what I have?
I can be gone from anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Currently If I completed more than half of my workout I don't do the remainder upon return. If I just did 4-5 sets or less then I start all over. Is their a better solution?
Thank you.
You can try dropsets to add more volume in less time; once you started an exercise, you must end it, it's pointless to do half and do the other half after 2 hours...you muscles will be rested already and won't hypertrophy.
You gotta do what you gotta do and if that means coming back after a long day and FINISHING THE REST, why not? Get any gains in any time 💪🙌
Workout when you're off duty
Do you have off duty hour? 1 hour is good enough to maintain a 3 day split workout
Your WORK is killing your gains!!! (Try this instead!)
Thanks Jeff. I am an elementary teacher and look after the school teams as the coach. Those three base focuses are huge and important to help foster physical literacy with students thanks for letting me know im on the right track
Lady's and gentlemen, I am happy to announce that I won today's giveaway. To all other subscribers: I wish you best of luck.
Shut the fuck up.
@@O-oo3uu You are a shitty person.
Fuck yeah I'm 0/7 lol
F
Make sure to post results!
Fucking mega!, you just rub it in lol... well done...
Jeff is exactly correct, I can't even squat correctly because I sway from side to side in the hips and knees. Stability is key, and I lack it.

I was looking for someone to say this 😂
I lift my wet towel with my dick after a shower everyday. Ive put on 3 inches in girth.
Got wood
@@kodiharvill bullshit
Some very, very great tips and facts - it’s nice to see youtubers actually bring the attention to the things that matters and not just make a video about them telling everyone to do 5x5 because that’s the key to everything. Well done and keep up the great work man
