      Not getting where you think he should be going deeper to the "touch point" with the dumbbells. You taught me that rotates the rotator cuff out of the socket to an un-natural position and then loads it with too much weight. He is kinda doing what you used to teach isn't he by not going that deep ?

    Shannon trained at a speed and agility facility that I worked at. This was around 2004. I’ve worked out with many NFL players during my time in the field, and Shannon maybe trained the hardest. He did sprint/footwork/plyo/agility work and lifted weights, nearly every day in the off-season. I believe him when he says he is clean. He just never stopped and has a ridiculous work ethic.

      @The-Underground-Man 9 дней назад

      ​@@deadfullyawesome I'm not saying Shannon is not on steroids, I don't know if he is, and I don't care, but I want to explain something. Yes, you can naturally look like Shannon Sharp...Probably not at 55, but that's the only suspicion I have. Even if he was taking steroids, they don't make a difference as big as you think they do. If you are taking steroids and you're 235 pounds lean, without steroids you'd be 210 pounds lean, and you'd look EXACTLY the same, just a little bit smaller. Steroids don't change your muscle composition, they don't change anything, they just add a little more mass on WHAT YOU ALREADY POSSESSED AT YOUR BIRTH. If Ronnie Coleman was 300 pounds shredded on steroids, without steroids he would look exactly the same, but he wouldn't be 300 lbs, he would be around 240, EXACTLY the same, just smaller. Genetics is not 90% of muscle building, it's 99.9999999. If you compare a person with bad genetics (on steroids) to a person with great genetics (not on steroids), the same effort, same nutrition, great genetics wins always, in 100% of cases. In fact, it's not even a 100%, it's more that that, it's not even a number, it can't be captured with language, how big of a difference genetics play in this.
      If you put in the effort and you still look like shit, it's your genetics, and there is no ammount of steroids that can help you.

    Shannon's comment about the locker room and the shared experience wasn't about enjoying the process or the grind per se. It was about going through it with other people. Jeff himself mentioned the camaraderie he felt as a trainer (23:59) for the Mets as a key factor in his being successful and enjoying the process while it was happening and not, as in this video, as somebody looking back philosophically years later.
    Get yourself a workout buddy, a workout coach, or start mentoring somebody in the gym. It will make the process SO much more rewarding and easier to be consistent with. The sum is greater than the parts when you work out with somebody who shares your goals.
    Shannon helped the Broncos win their first Super Bowl when I was 13 and living two hours from Denver. He was one of my sports gods. His biceps seemed unreal but were very motivating for an 8th grader just discovering the weight room. Thanks for this video, Jeff.

      When I lost that, and life's challenges came, I veered.
      I am not disciplined enough to do all that I was doing with those guys, on my own. At least not right now. I am drawing motivation (know every workout that I need to do and have every piece of equipment I need right in my training room), just a mental hurdle I have to clear since setting up my new house earlier this year.
      Don't ever want to be as jacked as Shannon. I'm 45 and 5'10" 220 right now. Don't really need to lose anything. I carry it mostly power half and wouldn't even want to be much below my previous ideal of 217. 210 lowest. I'm not terribly off the mark, because some people would look at me and wonder what I'm complaining about.

      There are certainly outliers out there, genetic freaks.
      Last week I saw a kid probably 16-17, across the street, while I was sipping on in a tea shop in Turkiye.
      The kid was about 6,2, wearing a tank top and shorts, I could tell he wasn't a gym goer, but he had muscular shoulders, calves almost to the point of someone who had been training at least 6 years natural, and his arms were as structured as many can not get in a couple of years.
      It was very obvious to me that he didn't lift, and it was the first time I saw someone with such a freaky genetic displayed through their muscular structure to the point, I thought of approaching him and sponsoring him for the rest of his life for the next 10 Mr. Olympia wins, but than I realized I am broke and will be broke. :)))
      (been a gym rat my self for so long, I always observe people, and this kid was the best freak of genetics I had seen so far in decades)

    Outliers truly exist. I grew up with a few guys that were jacked for no reason. But even as an adult I see it
    A good friend is 38 does not weight lift at all and never has. He rock climbs, hikes and plays tennis. But is just under 6'2, about 250 pounds and just built. An absolute outlier

    It's ridiculous to compare yourself to a professional athlete they have .01% genetics and it's literally their job to workout.

      Yeah, even his WWE client who went from skinny fat to jacked and ripped was natural. As natural as Jeff's deadlift plates 😂

      @@lamontbillingslb Dude look at the size of those. If the ones that say 60 on them were KG that would be over 130lbs. Have you ever seen 130lb dumbbells? They're enormous. What are those dumbbells made of to be that small to weigh that much? Adamantium?

      On his Nightcap podcast recently, he said he's about "240 lbs." He has a MASSIVE frame. Larger weights tend to look smaller when larger people are handling them. They could very well be 60kg, but look smaller due to his mass.

      @blehche6409 3 месяца назад

      Bc he's much older now. Your test levels naturally drop and you could keep doing the same thing you've always done and start seeing 1/4 of the results. Exact reason I started TRT in my 40s. I was working out smarter and eating better than ever before and seeing worse results. TRT brought it back in balance.

    You and Shannon should have a bench press competition and see who can lift the most until one of your shoulders pop. that would be awesome.
