Also like the dude said before, most people watch athlean x to get information on workouts to build their own workout routine, i’m not looking at the amount of weight he’s lifting because i know when i go to the gym i’m going to go for a weight that is suitable to me. I’m just here to see him perform the workout and inform me on what he believes is best. I don’t think anyone should just get information from ONE fitness youtuber tho. People should get opinions from multiple sources and make a plan on what works best for their body. Not just off what jeff or any other youtuber for that matter has to say.

And again, it isn’t the pressing that’s suspect, it’s how easily he’s moving the weights into position with literally no leverage falling back. I believe he can press 90s, he better be able to, that’s chump weight. But I saw the same thing as Johnny, where he just kinda toyed with 90 almost seated, then easily rolled them off and set them down (on the original vid of Jeff’s). That’s something I don’t even do, and Im 30 pounds heavier and can press 120s on flat. I stand over the weight and safely pick them up together, like Johnny does. You don’t reach for a 90 in your weak hand while almost seated and yank it up lol. Worth noting Jeff has been caught and accused many times for fake weights. For like 4-5 years now.

I’ve done these workouts, and I have done it during a burnout. Catching the fatigue and burning yourself down on the weight, absolutely. And I can tell you that those were not 90 pounds with what Athlean X was using. People will say that it’s only 180 pounds, combined. But we are splitting that 180 pounds as a free weight workout. Totally different from a bench press.

Jonni’s the man… i’ve trained for 17 years, started about 72kg and now I’m averaging 88kg natural… but i’m still learning and adjusting with simple tips in videos like this… thanks man, keep up the good work… 👊 👊 👊

Difference is because if you straighten up your elbows, you have to put in more torque for the same weight. It is recommended to keep the elbows bent so that you can use same torque for the entire range of motion instead of putting extra in the end, which would become a bottleneck. In short, this guy’s suggestion is clearly not a good idea and it baffles me people are buying this.

Maybe someone with a giant chest like you doesn’t have to go farther on the crossovers, I’m lean with long arms, when I go straight out I get some activation but when I go a few inches farther and cross over is when I can actually feel the “burn” and see my chest muscles activating more.

This is my new favorite workout channel. JS spittin' facts....

Do this exact workout routine. My body is getting strong, and I've cleaned up my diet as well. Seeing some good results. (Videos like that are mainly for people like me - who never touched a weight before.) Been following Althean's stuff for a few months and it delivered. That said, really like how you explain how to do these movements properly. Really big on not accidently hurting myself (my joints) long term.

You're kidding right? I like Athlean X but he's already been busted by the whole community of using fake weights in 2020 when he faked squatting like 500 pounds. They even found the website where he bought his fake weights. This topic isn't anything new

the form king back at it again

I love how you are real and call out nonsense

When you broke out the 90s I knew you were the real deal. Subscribed!

I've seen some smaller looking guys lift heavy weight that even big guys struggle with, so there's a possibility that it's not fake weights. Size does not proportionally equal to strength. Besides, if you wanna argue this point, no point trying to argue with us commenters. Just set up a meeting with Jeff, and roll up there to test if he is as strong as you. You make sure that if he is, you can handle that fact. Edit: I will admit that you are correct in claiming that focusing on fewer exercises or doing cardio is probably the best way to get the most out of 20 mins. But if you know Jeff, he likes to work on every muscle group that he can which is why he's showing us that many exercises, but more importantly, he could probably do all of those in roughly 20 mins, so he's asking us to do the same.

"Lightweight! Yeah buddy!" -Athlean X, probably

You could still grow your chest with only 20 minutes if you do 4 sets of pressing movements with 4 minutes of rest as long as you’re going near failure or to failure every set since muscle growth is triggered by an adaptive response when you challenge the existing capacity of the muscle and you will grow not as its optimal but its still effective

I have to agree, at least for me (can't speak for others), that 20 minutes of Chest workout twice a week did help grow my chest (my chest workout is part of a larger workout, but chest only amounts to about 20 minutes), if only a little bit (which can be explained by the fact that I'm not a new lifter and 100% natural, so growth will be much slower for me). Also, I have to disagree with Johnny about the cable crossover, again, at least for me... I do see and feel a difference in chest contraction between stopping shoulder width and crossing over. The "interior" of the pec gets more contraction when crossing over than when stopping at shoulder width, or thereabout...

@Ilethsamael

2 жыл бұрын

@@praeothmint2273 there are 2 things in this that need to be pointed: 1-in that position cable crossover is almost ineffective at the top of the movement due to the cable position. 2- the protraction of the shoulder gives one or two more inches of mobility for contraction. It is different for people that have a large chest and I think it would be better to make a superset where you hit pecs in the protracted position with proper mechanical engagement.

Don't change your workout style after listening to someone else! They don't know you, they haven't seen your body! They don't know what works for you the best. They can only show what works for them the best! And just because it benefits them, that doesn't necessarily means it'll work for you as well! Yes, you can take some ideas about certain workouts.

Also how does anyone know how long it took him to film that? What happens if he took 3 days to make that video? So I just don’t get the people hating on him. Jealousy? Resentment? Not sure. Also I don’t know if or when, because I’ve never heard (that I recall) if Jeff has ever mentioned what amount of weight he uses or for his viewers yo watch. That’s my thoughts anyway.

Don't get more activation from the pec by bringing it across the chest? Adductioin is a primary function of the pec and fully shortening the fibers by adducting your arm across will allow for a greater contraction. Hence, taking myosin and actin cross-bridges to their greatest degree of contractile force allowed. Greater contractile range, more efficient reps. This concept goes for all muscle. A fully straightened knee is the only way to allow for full contractile range of a quad muscle. Check out EMG activity studies.
