Can barely do pushups solved!

[marylupe]

@sgj Woah I'm surprised. He seemed legit. I took some of his advice for posture. There's also a hole workout video from it not sure if it's legit now...

 

[julietakase]

@sgj Yeah yeah I've seen curleans movie

 

[sgj]

@julietakase I felt heartbroken, man. But I’ll always remember the shoulder prehab advice.

@sgj He might not lift super heavy but hes not pretending to be a powerlifter. Its pretty ridiculous to say he doesnt lift often though. Jeffs in great shape, and that doesnt happen any other way

 

[prajva]

@sgj damn his workout programs are really a joke? i literally thought of starting his Xero today

 

[sgj]

@prajva Never pay money for workout routines. Everything you need to know is online. Nutrition, exercise progressions and regressions, technique, this that - everything’s online.

I have no problem with people selling workout routines, but you really don’t have to buy them.

 

[prajva]

@sgj lets just say i got it by some other means, are his programs really useless?

 

[bcity]

@prajva Yes. All you have to look at is Jessie. Dude has been “training” under Jeff for how long now? Looks like he’s got a year under his belt.

 

[bohn]

@bcity Tbf, and I hate defending Asslean x, Jessie isn't actually training under Jeff. Plus he has some head issues.

That aside, he still has no dudes that he trained to a high level

 

[bcity]

@bohn That makes it even worse. He has no trainees then.

 

[bohn]

@bcity Ones he trained from nothing, nope. I have yet to find a trainee that he actually trained and that weren't already in great shape(aka those superstars he works with)

 

[bcity]

@bohn Ya but let's be real. Does he even really train those people?

 

[peacemaker36]

@sgj A friend of mine tried one of his programs and lost a lot of weight. It's how you take advantage of the program with proper dieting and whatnot.

@williamgoode Jeff is a fearmongering, anti-science, misinforming quack.

 

[bobbarnes81]

@williamgoode Who's Jeff?

 

[sylva]

@bobbarnes81 Jeff Cavaliere, the guy speaking in the video

 

[bobbarnes81]

@sylva I didn't watch the video. What is he, a YouTube trainer or something?

 

[sylva]

@bobbarnes81 Jeff Cavaliere is an author, lecturer, YouTuber, and former Head Physical Therapist and Assistant Strength Coach for the New York Mets.

He received his Masters Degree in Physical Therapy and Bachelor of Science in Physioneurobiology / Premedicine from the University of Connecticut (Top 5 university in the country for physical therapy and sports medicine) and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.

FYI I just copy and pasted/paraphrased all of this. I didn't know who he was until now and have been looking him up.

 

[sgj]

@sylva Take those degrees with a grain of salt.

He has some good advice, and a lot of bad advice. I used to like him a lot until I realized that with some exercises, he really doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.

 

[sylva]

@sgj Interesting, thanks for letting me know! As I mentioned in another comment, I’m new to this community and also new to Jeff and ATHLEAN-X.

I’ll definitely heed your advice. Any specific channels you’d recommend?
