Rounding a little is normal when you’re lifting near your max. Bitching about form on a near maximal deadlift just shows you don’t lift. Don’t be such a hypochondriac.
robert madera I had a big learning curve with them it was the only thing that ever gave me DOMS for 4-5 days and was the worst I ever had it I couldn’t do anything with my arms . They are great though
anthony moffett Oh the good ol learning curve. So hard to pass it. Me too my left triceps hit a learning curve, and the only way to get DOMS for me is to first of all do forced reps, then onto dropset (still not quite feeling sore), and third go into heavy negative. Most of our (me and my mates) learning curve in workout are, suddenly for a couple of weeks, our mind muscle connection just suddenly dissappear. Its a feeling that kills. We have energy, we are motivated, we feel strong, yet when we hit the weights we dont feel like we’re in it. Our brain want it so bad but our body just wont allow it. I went through this for 6 times now, as i only started 7 months ago. Im good at detecting that valley that plateau now. When it happens, either back off, take ur time off the gym, travel, study, run. When u really miss it go for that muscle ur struggling with. It will kinda return by itself. By taking time off we actually got a bit higher in the learning curve’s valley. Just dont quit. Or, fight through the struggle, and forcibly rebuild the mind muscle connection. 3-5 of ur work with that muscle will suck but it will, again get u out of the valley. As learning curve happens with everything in life, in pursuing new hobbies, or with new relationships and new girlfriend, i usually do those 2 things. When me and my gf got into a shouting situation, either back off and spend weeks alone, compose yourself, and talk. Or take the harder, less enjoyable, but quicker way. Talk to each other and solve it together.

Jeff, you have all my respect, but that deadlift form didn’t really look good. Looked like you were lifting with your lower back. Not what we’re used to seeing from you.
@@mike2207 Everyone's max doesn't look like shit. And that one looked disgusting. I'm not saying I haven't done similarly horrible deadlifts in my life but you can definitely lift maximal weights with good technique, if you train for it. That's how you get from good to great.
I Will Become #1 Through Dedication And Faith Bro do you have eyes? His deadlifts that weren’t at max were the exact same shitty form, it’s just you didn’t see his upper back bend because the weight was much less. He still lifts with his back in this video regardless of weight. And no, I don’t lift, I just happen to have eyes and a brain.
Haha yeah i got that as well. And his form in the deadlift, that he's too proud of, is bad. He dont need to prove a point but just accept that he lied.
@@IAMMRPATRICKBORNAGAIN increasing the amount of weight or decreasing rest or any other progressive overload isn't necessarily training harder than last time since you get better. The intensity can be the same but you still so more repetitions because you're better at this.
@@tomerwolberg37 Decreasing rest time is making your training much harder and increasing risk of injury, since you're not fully prepared for another set and most people will sacrifice their form in order to get closer to number of reps they did in their previous set. I see this all the time, people resting 1 min then they do 5 good reps and 3 more shitty reps with bad form...
i remember the 5 million sub days, felt like nobody knew Jeff. Now look at my boy, all important in the fitness industry n shit. Brings a tear to my eye 😭🤧
Jeff, I know your fuckin strong. Your muscles always speak for themselves. Ignore the haters or talk about it. I’d actually be interested to hear what you have to say. But you don’t have to prove anything to anyone. If the trash talkers want to keep an audience, they have to move on.
All of you guys have to realize that he is also like 5 years older (and it's 40-45 ish, not like 20-25) and way leaner. It makes sense that he can't lift as much now and that he uses a belt. I'd say this almost proves his previous deadlift numbers. Those details are unfortunately missed by almost everyone and it's crappy because he can't just get up and explain that to people who don't understand how these things work as he's seem to be making excuses.
Some brilliant advise here, I have been using time over tension within my reps for a few years now and have seen less injuries and better gains in size, strength and stamina. Thanks Geoff, you are the best training coach by a long margin.
Jeff my dude, I know you know how to dead lift. You even have videos that provide tips on how NOT to do what you did on that last 2-3 sets; started @315 if you pay attention. Why give yourself a pass and include those clips in this video? I've followed you for a while now and lots of ppl will follow what you do and tell them. You need to take this more seriously. One 20 something kid at my gym was trying to DL 225 with that form and when I try to give him some tips, he said he saw you do it this way so it should be fine. Smh. Come on brother, I know you are better than this...
The heavy deadlift! @2:07 Form looked great to me. Clear evidence of strength. I didn't need proof, but here it is! @Athlean-X is legit. Thanks for being informative and positive and staying out of the cesspool that other CZcams channels grow in.
Something I find interesting is that the videos in question were as much as 5 or more years ago... and since then jeff has claimed to be training for longevity and not concerned about setting prs anymore, in his mid 40s it’s not really important or smart to risk injury, yet he’s still lifting in the mid 400s without ever being focused on it per say. Strength levels can change significantly depending on what you are doing.. there was never any doubt in my mind that Jeff could perform the lifts, just judging by my own strength levels and training. but it really never mattered either way.
Can’t believe Jeff makes the best skits ever 😂. I love them. I want gains!! I’m actually aiming to become athletic for my goals so athlete program is definitely the one for me. I can’t afford it now, but if I get it for Christmas I’ll definitely show you guys my progress to prove how much this works. It should at least😂
My tip is stop looking up how to get big what u r doing is putting yourself down but while I'm here my advice is don't stress just eat till your full train till you can't lift anymore and sleep day in and day out
False. Look at Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Robert Oberst, etc. They take deload weeks. They don't always push to 100% effort. And they are some of the strongest men ever
Thanks alot Jeff! I graduated as a Physical therapist assistant not so long ago and your explanations help me even understand more! It all makes sense if you look at fitness in a scientific stand point! Cant wait for more!
Jeff, you really are a person that I really appreciate. The truth is that you motivate many people to continue fighting in their lives, and that is good. Your content is extraordinary, it shows that you really want to help because at some point you would have wanted that help. You are a great example as a person and you know how to motivate and transmit that charism you have. I appreciate you brother, greetings from Argentina
The video provides valuable insights into achieving fitness goals through progressive overload and demonstrates a variety of techniques beyond traditional methods. The presenter's emphasis on understanding individual goals and applying science to training methods fosters a more informed and efficient approach to fitness. Gratitude for the video's comprehensive guidance and positive encouragement towards viewers' fitness journeys.
Not sure why people give Jeff grief. He is as fit as possible, is so not a douche, and shares his knowledge all the time. I have bought several of his programs and they are top notch.
You are the most trustworthy trainer i know. Thanks for the awesome videos with genuine information to achieve realistic goals Jeff...Big fan from Mauritius
I am 63, last fall I decided I needed to get in the best shape I could. I hadn’t worked out since the 90’s and didn’t want to join a gym so I went to Walmart and bought some dumbbells. I started out with 10 and 15 pound sets and did slow high reps. I’ve now purchased a set of 20 and 25 pound bells and do burnouts. I’ll do 25 reps with the heaviest , put it down and rep out with the next and so on, I may do over 100 reps! I said all this to let you know I’m seeing more muscle gain at home working out like this than I did back in the late 80’s in a gym with access to all the weights I could use.
He has covered them. Binge watch his videos and take notes, literally take notes. I've done it and his advice is incredible. My first year of weightlifting I've lost over 20 pounds of fat and added muscle mass continuously.
For the big moves, I suggest going to Omar Isuf or Alan Thrall. Best for when it comes to the big lifts. Nothing wrong with athlean x, but that’s what they specialize in.
He has already. However, big lifts are not Jeff's specialty. There are other guys who specialize in the big lifts have put up better and more simply explained instructional videos. Alan Thralls five step deadlift set up video is spot on, and is (IMO) better than Jeff's deadlift video.
@@ragedrephaim5570 I agree. I mean I really do love Jeff's content but he's just not strong. And that's okay. Strength isn't everyone's suit. He's good at other stuff like rehab/athleticism
Very good as usual! One thing worth pointing out about the option to decrease time - that's actually the definition of power (force x distance / time). In other words, moving the same weight in less time is a demonstration of more power. Of course this has to be properly cycled, but setting out to become more powerful also leads to becoming stronger.
Asymmetry, my question is about asymmetry. How can you lessen asymmetry without creating muscle imbalances? For example, my right quadriceps are bigger than my left ones, whereas my right calf is smaller than my left one. This creates a visual asymmetry that I would like to fix. I used to think that doing isolation exercises for these muscles and loading them with different weight could be the solution. But since you really stress the risks of muscle imbalances, I stopped doing that. So is there really a way to safely fix this, or one just has to embrace the asymmetry? Thank you very much beforehand, and thank you for all your teachings! You are The Sensei!
Probably just keep training like you normally do but switch some bileteral ( for example Standing calf raises) with a unilateral excercises ( single leg calf raises). Keep the weight the same for both legs but try and really work on the mind muscle connection on the lagging body part. Otherwise I'd just keep training and focussing on even force distribution when doing excercises and it will minimize eventually. Also note, no one is symmetrically built. You probably should't worry to much unless you're a pro bodybuilder or have previous injuries because of the imbalance or imbalance as a result of an injury. Hopefully this helps :)
Sometimes posture causes imbalances. For example my pecs and lats would develop unevenly until I fixed my posture and increased my shoulder mobility. My left side was very tight and after loosening up through stretching and strengthening my gains became symmetrical. Also it’s really important to develop mind muscle connection with the lagging muscle. You may not be contracting it as much if you don’t give it your awareness.
First of all, as others have said, do correctives to be sure that your posture and everything is good. Second, I think that working in isolation exercises would be greatly beneficial to your case, if you can improve your mind muscle connection, the imbalances will eventually get better. Keep in mind that this will take a lot of time, developing a good mind muscle connection alone is a pretty lengthy process, and seeing results from it too will also take a while, however if you want it done right, then you’ll have to work hard and be patient. Good luck man.
Jeff, that one rep max on your dead lift was too heavy for you to maintain good form. Be careful or you’ll blow disks out and need surgery. I have had a few back surgeries and have permanent nerve damage and pain...so please be careful and lift weights you can lift with proper form.
Love this! After 2 transplants, lifting and building is tougher, but this is better advice than the physical therapist. I’ve seen increased recovery 50% faster.
I used to. That’s why I’m here posting so that you don’t go through 5 years of hell like I did. Crushed tspine disc, fractured my end plate, damage to l5-l4, l5-s1. Stu said “you have a beautiful back, that’s really well built.” So you can STFU and listen to the wisdom I can share. I’d rather not see you being unable to lift 5lbs without nerve pain, it isn’t a good look, trust me.
Evrybody in evry channel performing deadlifts with weight plate under their feet in nexts videos to seem cool, etc... Thanks 4ur job Jeff. You're the man 90% of fitness channnels copy.

Thanks Jeff. “Progressive overload” is now part of my vocabulary and repertoire. Much appreciated.
Gotta say that deadlift looked real to me!
Oh I see what you did there😂
Hahaaaaa
I think he did that to fuck with the haters. He never uses belts and he droped the weight without caring
@@svetlinnikolov8710 how did he fuck with the haters all he did was prove them right he cant deadlift 495. He also apparently can't lift 425 properly
All of you guys have to realize that he is also like 5 years older (and it's 40-45 ish, not like 20-25) and way leaner. It makes sense that he can't lift as much now and that he uses a belt. I'd say this almost proves his previous deadlift numbers. Those details are unfortunately missed by almost everyone and it's crappy because he can't just get up and explain that to people who don't understand how these things work as he's seem to be making excuses.
I love that subtle hint at the start that he doesn’t use PEDs
Nice way to reply
This dude is clearly on PEDs lmao no way he isn’t at least on a high dose TRT
cchhaadd33 yeah he’s old now that’s facts
@@cchhaadd33 based on that he's old?
Forgot to hint at his plates being real tho
Some brilliant advise here, I have been using time over tension within my reps for a few years now and have seen less injuries and better gains in size, strength and stamina. Thanks Geoff, you are the best training coach by a long margin.

Jeff my dude, I know you know how to dead lift. You even have videos that provide tips on how NOT to do what you did on that last 2-3 sets; started @315 if you pay attention. Why give yourself a pass and include those clips in this video? I've followed you for a while now and lots of ppl will follow what you do and tell them. You need to take this more seriously. One 20 something kid at my gym was trying to DL 225 with that form and when I try to give him some tips, he said he saw you do it this way so it should be fine. Smh. Come on brother, I know you are better than this...
You follow this guy around and know this story never happened?
Petition for next video to be called “Breathing is killing your gains”. And talk about breathing and bracing for heavy lifts.
Jeff switches hands on his guitar to prevent imbalances. What guitar is your pp? Mine looks the same
He didnt brace for this heavy lift. he also gives bad advice about breathing
@@marcberg2553 don't you dare to say anything bad about my idol
@@Josh_Tsu1067 Are you serious? its cool that he is your idol im just saying he gives bad advice when it comes to building muscle and gaining strength
Which of the following is impossible :
1. Getting heart or reply from jeff.
2. Jeff skipping facepulls on pull day.
@HUA I agree😂🤣
both
Jeff skipping Facepull Day.
I have been trying to copy his form for the deadlift 2:08, but I feel a lot of pressure in my lower back when I do it like that.

The heavy deadlift! @2:07 Form looked great to me. Clear evidence of strength. I didn't need proof, but here it is! @Athlean-X is legit. Thanks for being informative and positive and staying out of the cesspool that other CZcams channels grow in.
Hell yeah, i wanted jeff to prove those idiots wrong
still no 495
#fakeweights
Something I find interesting is that the videos in question were as much as 5 or more years ago... and since then jeff has claimed to be training for longevity and not concerned about setting prs anymore, in his mid 40s it’s not really important or smart to risk injury, yet he’s still lifting in the mid 400s without ever being focused on it per say. Strength levels can change significantly depending on what you are doing.. there was never any doubt in my mind that Jeff could perform the lifts, just judging by my own strength levels and training. but it really never mattered either way.
@@HABO2210 aww, haters can't accept the truth, it hurts them
The weights on that deadlift looked pretty legit to me
There is a huge difference between 425 for 1 rep (bad form) and 495 for several reps (great form) bro
Yup, legit. Form was good too.
Can’t believe Jeff makes the best skits ever 😂. I love them. I want gains!! I’m actually aiming to become athletic for my goals so athlete program is definitely the one for me. I can’t afford it now, but if I get it for Christmas I’ll definitely show you guys my progress to prove how much this works. It should at least😂
My tip is stop looking up how to get big what u r doing is putting yourself down but while I'm here my advice is don't stress just eat till your full train till you can't lift anymore and sleep day in and day out
💪🏾👌🏾💯
I can't believe its free for us👍
The only way to get stronger is to
work harder than last time.
Thanks Doc.
Bro I take beaver tranquilizer and bench press a gallon of water to get stronger, works for me. Maybe it's just genetics
False. Look at Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Robert Oberst, etc. They take deload weeks. They don't always push to 100% effort. And they are some of the strongest men ever
Jeff *_LITERALLY_* flexing his dead lift 😂 💪🏻
@UCMRLqJ9rx5kX2vJ5nZiubeA No that was respectable for, dk what you're talking about mate
What a beast. Love jeff so much
that was TERRIBLE deadlift form, dont ever do a deadlift like jeff did in this video, you'll end up in hospital in no time
I see you Jeff! Subtle reply about you not able to deadlift 4-5 plates? Cuz the plates look different and you look fierce :D
Yeh I thought the same
His form looks a little rough, especially with the rounded back
That form was terrible though
Anybody can lift heavy with improper form.
A big slap to everyone who created fake weights issue...Jeff is by far the best out there.
Where is Jeff cavalier's marker?
Haven't seen him for a while
Thanks alot Jeff! I graduated as a Physical therapist assistant not so long ago and your explanations help me even understand more! It all makes sense if you look at fitness in a scientific stand point! Cant wait for more!
Jeff, you really are a person that I really appreciate. The truth is that you motivate many people to continue fighting in their lives, and that is good. Your content is extraordinary, it shows that you really want to help because at some point you would have wanted that help. You are a great example as a person and you know how to motivate and transmit that charism you have. I appreciate you brother, greetings from Argentina
Finally a video that is not killing my gains!
The video provides valuable insights into achieving fitness goals through progressive overload and demonstrates a variety of techniques beyond traditional methods. The presenter's emphasis on understanding individual goals and applying science to training methods fosters a more informed and efficient approach to fitness. Gratitude for the video's comprehensive guidance and positive encouragement towards viewers' fitness journeys.
Not sure why people give Jeff grief. He is as fit as possible, is so not a douche, and shares his knowledge all the time. I have bought several of his programs and they are top notch.
Jeff, do your eat your cereals with Lion's milk or where does this power come from 😂
Lion cereal is delicious
A lion does not produce milk...
Why did you throw the weight down like that?
He was upset with his form from the last rep.
Also his grip was slipping look at his right hand lol
He lost control of it
Because you’re supposed to do what he says, but not what he does.

You are the most trustworthy trainer i know. Thanks for the awesome videos with genuine information to achieve realistic goals Jeff...Big fan from Mauritius
Ask him about his other plates.
Jeff always delivers the gain plan.
Just started a diet and working out a week ago. Found this guy through the CZcams rabbit hole and he has a video for every question I have.
3:06, now those weights look for real, good job!
Same weights one of the nfl players used in one of his previous videos.
Lmao
He had bad form and did less weights with a weights belt. So bad job really
I would look at the form

I am 63, last fall I decided I needed to get in the best shape I could. I hadn’t worked out since the 90’s and didn’t want to join a gym so I went to Walmart and bought some dumbbells. I started out with 10 and 15 pound sets and did slow high reps. I’ve now purchased a set of 20 and 25 pound bells and do burnouts. I’ll do 25 reps with the heaviest , put it down and rep out with the next and so on, I may do over 100 reps! I said all this to let you know I’m seeing more muscle gain at home working out like this than I did back in the late 80’s in a gym with access to all the weights I could use.
My name is Ayush Patel I'm just 15 and after following your channel since March I can do perfect 100 burpees in 11 minutes
Did you just purposely slam plates to ground to answer those who were accusing you of fake plates??
BTW we believe you. We know you are the best.
Looks Like Jeff Cleared His Name With That Deadlift There 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
100lbs less
still got 90 lbs to add to do that
@@kekag 60 pounds* and yeah he was 40 back then , now he's 45, strength varies from age to age
Was he actually deadlifting in a specific way to show the weight to be real.😳
It actually seemed to be real.
The hate is strong in this one
All humans make mistakes no one is perfect
@@turbo523 unless skin tone different right?
@@turbo523 but it takes a real man to own up to his mistake and say that they are wrong instead of trying to ignore it. People deserve his honesty.
I’ve seen this channel for years. It’s incredible how you manage to stay lean for such an extended time.
Haha I love that you made it extra damn apparent so that no one can question the weights on that bar during the deadlift.
Damn, Jesse screaming sounds like Jake Gyllenhaal. Even kind of looks like him.
Can you do a video tutorial on how to perform the “big moves”? (Deadlift, bench press, shoulder press, etc...)
He has.
He has covered them. Binge watch his videos and take notes, literally take notes. I've done it and his advice is incredible. My first year of weightlifting I've lost over 20 pounds of fat and added muscle mass continuously.
Take the high intensity interval training serious.
For the big moves, I suggest going to Omar Isuf or Alan Thrall. Best for when it comes to the big lifts. Nothing wrong with athlean x, but that’s what they specialize in.
He has already. However, big lifts are not Jeff's specialty. There are other guys who specialize in the big lifts have put up better and more simply explained instructional videos. Alan Thralls five step deadlift set up video is spot on, and is (IMO) better than Jeff's deadlift video.
Will try this when we can eventually go back to the gym in 2025 after lockdown.
@@KizaWittaker Worse... South Africa
LOL the hard flex on the deadlift though, showin' 'em with action!
That was a 4 plate deadlift with bad form and looked like that was close to his max😭 I love Jeff but that's really nothing to be proud of
@@ragedrephaim5570 I agree. I mean I really do love Jeff's content but he's just not strong. And that's okay. Strength isn't everyone's suit. He's good at other stuff like rehab/athleticism

Well Done Man
Well Done.
you trippin?
Best video about progresive overload.
Very good as usual! One thing worth pointing out about the option to decrease time - that's actually the definition of power (force x distance / time). In other words, moving the same weight in less time is a demonstration of more power. Of course this has to be properly cycled, but setting out to become more powerful also leads to becoming stronger.
Asymmetry, my question is about asymmetry. How can you lessen asymmetry without creating muscle imbalances? For example, my right quadriceps are bigger than my left ones, whereas my right calf is smaller than my left one. This creates a visual asymmetry that I would like to fix. I used to think that doing isolation exercises for these muscles and loading them with different weight could be the solution. But since you really stress the risks of muscle imbalances, I stopped doing that. So is there really a way to safely fix this, or one just has to embrace the asymmetry? Thank you very much beforehand, and thank you for all your teachings! You are The Sensei!
Probably just keep training like you normally do but switch some bileteral ( for example Standing calf raises) with a unilateral excercises ( single leg calf raises). Keep the weight the same for both legs but try and really work on the mind muscle connection on the lagging body part. Otherwise I'd just keep training and focussing on even force distribution when doing excercises and it will minimize eventually. Also note, no one is symmetrically built. You probably should't worry to much unless you're a pro bodybuilder or have previous injuries because of the imbalance or imbalance as a result of an injury. Hopefully this helps :)
trolololgast Thank you very much. I will do that, especially placing emphasis on the muscle-mind connection.
Sometimes posture causes imbalances. For example my pecs and lats would develop unevenly until I fixed my posture and increased my shoulder mobility. My left side was very tight and after loosening up through stretching and strengthening my gains became symmetrical. Also it’s really important to develop mind muscle connection with the lagging muscle. You may not be contracting it as much if you don’t give it your awareness.
First of all, as others have said, do correctives to be sure that your posture and everything is good. Second, I think that working in isolation exercises would be greatly beneficial to your case, if you can improve your mind muscle connection, the imbalances will eventually get better. Keep in mind that this will take a lot of time, developing a good mind muscle connection alone is a pretty lengthy process, and seeing results from it too will also take a while, however if you want it done right, then you’ll have to work hard and be patient. Good luck man.
You can't fix it. Everyone has this and its just a part of life.
Jeff, that one rep max on your dead lift was too heavy for you to maintain good form. Be careful or you’ll blow disks out and need surgery. I have had a few back surgeries and have permanent nerve damage and pain...so please be careful and lift weights you can lift with proper form.
Also the warmups were poor as well. Probably just shouldn't be showing any of it.
July 16 I celebrated 4 years working out, thanks much for keeping me focused to be fit all year round.
Love this! After 2 transplants, lifting and building is tougher, but this is better advice than the physical therapist. I’ve seen increased recovery 50% faster.
