This is an example of a low volume, high intensity workout for chest and back that was once popular and has since been eclipsed by high volume advocates. That said, when performed correctly, this may not only be a preferable way to train but the science may actually support it as a smarter way to train. This is particularly so when it comes to those that have underlying orthopedic issues that are exacerbated by high volume workouts.
So this chest and back workout consists of just 2-3 exercises for chest and 2-3 exercises for back. The key is to first identify whether or not your chest and back are strong muscle groups for you or are lacking in development. There are two simple ways to determine this. First, you can simply look in the mirror. What does your chest look like? Is it in line with the rest of your development or do you think it’s a bit lagging? Second, what is your ability to contract the muscle to the point of discomfort. This is an indication of mind muscle control. When it is lacking, it is usually a sign that points to a difficulty in developing that muscle.
If you lack good muscle development in either the chest or back, you are going to perform two sets of what is shown here called the mindful mass sets and only one set of the preexhaust compound exercise combo. If you have a good mind muscle connection with the muscle, you are going to flip that and perform two of the preexhaust compound exercise sets with only one of the mindful mass sets.
For chest, we’re picking two exercises that are going to be performed in back to back superset fashion. For maximum effectiveness and chest gains you are going to want to almost eliminate any rest time between the two component exercises. In this case, I’m choosing dumbbell floor flies and immediately following it up with dumbbell bench press. The floor flies are done to preexhaust the chest. It is necessary that you take this to complete failure.
As soon as the set is complete, rush over to the bench and perform the second half of the superset. Grab a dumbbell weight that allows you to fail within 6-8 reps if possible. If you are shy of this, simply adjust the weight the next set or in the next workout if you are only doing one set. Just be sure to take it to absolute failure.
There is controversy around the need to take sets to failure or not in order to see muscle growth. Research shows that taking sets a couple reps shy of failure is almost as effective if not just as effective as taking it to failure. The problem is, many people do not know what actual failure looks like or feels like. They wind up coming up well short of failure when attempting to stop short. When using a very low volume workout approach, going to failure ensures you did it right without a detriment to your next workout if your workouts are structured appropriately.
The next part of this chest and back workout is the back. Here I’m performing a straight arm pushdown into a lat pulldown. The same concept applies. Preexhaust the lats and then incorporate the biceps, brachialis, upper back and rhomboids into the lift to assist in driving them further to exhaustion. Follow this up with a mindful mass set of higher reps to absolute metabolic fatigue using the straight arm pushdowns once again.
Here is the chest and back workout:
DB Floor Flies supersetted with DB Bench Press: 1-2 sets to failure
Crossovers to failure: 1-2 sets
Use weight that causes failure in the 6-10 rep range on both ends of the superset and 15-20 reps on the crossovers.
Cable Straight Arm Pushdowns supersetted with Lat Pulldowns: 1-2 sets to failure
Straight Arm Pushdowns to failure: 1-2 sets
Use weight that causes failure in the 6-10 rep range on both ends of the superset and 15-20 reps on the pushdowns.

With Push/Pull/Legs being one of the most popular splits around, I put together the PERFECT push workout that is guaranteed to deliver gains - ruclips.net/video/HE45jVN7XKM/видео.html
Push pull sucks
Love this video format, 30 mins, no cuts, high intensity workout and still dropping knowledge as clear as day.
Absolute gigachad.
Would love to see something similar for legs, especially for quad development. Very motivated to get some good definition, and I have always had skinny legs from a physique standpoint. But I love squatting, and started to do more front and goblet squats to focus on the quads.
Hack squats are something I've found a lot of success with. Bring your feet really close together and get them as far under you as possible. Go ALL the way down to get a good stretch in your quads while keeping your heels on the platform. Also narrow-stance 1/4 squats (at the bottom of the squat) are also fantastic. Happy lifting!
@@elifarmer2935 thanks for the advice!
@@elifarmer2935 I liked using the hack machine, too, at my old gym. Sadly, my current gym doesn't have one. So I have resorted to Goblin Squats (my term for goblet squats) and Dumbbell squats. I found Dumbbell squats very effective for quads but you really have to kill yourself on them. I am next going to try elevating my heels a bit more on Barbell squats.
@@bobithpopit3193 Yeah, this is kinda true. I love goblet squats, I find them very 'mobile' and athletic, but the grip issue is real. Additionally, there can be some pain in the hands from pressure points if your grip is not just right, as the weight gets heavier. Also, did not find them as effective as Dumbbell squats for the quads. But they look badass in the mirror lol
@@johnrobinson4445 maybe this will help you effectively replace the hack squat macine..if your gym let's you stick a bar in the corner.

It's one of Jeff's old, yet effective, videos. Have fun.
Jeff, keep doin what you're doin. You (and Jesse) have helped me with learning to get my sciatica under control and continue progressing in my workouts. Love the content, keep em comin! 💪
Appreciate hearing that man! Always the most rewarding part of my job.
Dude my sciatica is brutal
@Shazam
What exactly did you do to take care of your sciatica? I'm suffering from it for almost 6 months...
@@mikibenshishi6934 I follow 3 of the exercises from Jeff's bulging disc video and I do them everyday. First one is hanging from a bar while my feet still touch the ground to decompress my spine. Second is laying on my stomach and pushing up only my torso. Last is standing straight up, put my palms on my lower back and lean backwards. This last one I do multiple times a day.
Other than that, I sleep with a sciatica pillow between my legs at night and I make sure my posture is always correct. If you stick with it you'll notice it will make a difference. It took me six months of consistency to get through the worst of my sciatica, but it was worth it.
@@Coolio098... Thanks for the response

@@alizaidi4152 You know what good advice from a personal trainer cost, a lot of money... Just saying.
@@barnburner2475 yeah but it's weird there's no giveaway he usually has one in each video
I am skinny and and don't eat really well because I can't afford it. What is a good diet/workout routine to get the best outcome / maximise gains?
no rows for your back?
See the thing is, Jeff doesn't hit failure. Jeff sets up camp and lives in failure for a couple of weeks, gets to know the neighbors before moving back to the real world when he's had enough. Excellent.
I like how real this video is, thanks
Nah he's just an actor hired by DARPA.
@@colonelfalseflag1219 what? lmfao
YEAH! We absolutely love full workout series! It'll be wonderful to watch much more stuff relating to your personal schedule and the way you train. Thank you for your content!
Watching this while I’m lifting (pull day for me). Thanks for the motivation!
I’m in Day 4 of critical mass! Definitely a good change of pace from my norm and love that the workouts are short. Time will tell as far as the gains!
This video is slept on. Should have millions of views. I will be implementing this approach going forward for my shoulder and knee. I gravitated towards high volume/light load because I thought that was healthier for my joints. Time to switch it up!
we love the training style; no bull no stupid ad interruptions just the train a long. jeff we love this style. we thank you.
Just finished Mike Mentzer’s book and amazingly all those principles are in practice over here. Great stuff Jeff!
I tried this out today for the first time, and loved it. Due to a shoulder issue, it has been a while since I have succeeded in working my chest to failure, and it felt great to get there again. I plan on keeping this is my rotation. Challenges with my knees have been another challenge to my gains and i would love to see a video applying this same approach to leg development.
Please Jeff, do some videos on Achilles tendinitis rupture, recovery rehab etc. It is the only thing you have never ever done a video on. You're still the man though. :)
Jeff I discovered your channel in March 2020 when my pilates gym closed for Covid. In the 2 1/2 years since I have reached my peak physical strength and fitness of my life- so far- at age 50. I'm glad I learned how to do things right from the start. Thanks man!
👏👏👏
That is awesome to hear! Proud of the work you've put in and the fact that you've made no excuses along the way to making it happen. 50? You're just getting started my man.
Im a veteran and Ive had shoulder and knee surgery. The knee was pretty bad lol but now I work out daily to keep strong and to help protect me after having the surgery. Physical therapy and weight training is now an every day thing of mine in order to keep protected. Luckily Ive had your vids to watch and learn from during recovery.
If there's one quality that Jeff has, it's authenticity. He is truly real, what he preaches, teaches, he is through and through. There's nothing fake about Jeff (a rare thing in today's world). i have nothing but respect for him.
Insightful! I watched and listened intensely as a proud student ready to celebrate 6 years training under Athlean X. July 16 - 6 years baby, thank you Jeff!
Hey Jeff how you doing? I want to thank you for your quality contents, even after suataining injury. I have been working for over a decade still I am getting bigger. And your contents have a big play into it. Thanks once again, hope our next generation will also get help and guidance from you as we did
I've got a few injuries, most notably permanent damage from a broken back, and I've never considered anything like this before. This sort of training seems perfect! I would definitely love to see more videos like this.
Ya, remember that a bad foundation of training your muscles will more than likely result a bad injury.
How are you doing now? I have permanent damage in my shoulder and I'm afraid of doing weights again
Been following you for years now! I suffer from a labrum tear as well. Ever since following you I have learned to train around it and make gains. Before finding you're channel I thought my training career was over.
So thank you Jeff, for everything!
I'm literally dealing with this RIGHT NOW!!! It's been depressing... happened about 11 weeks ago, went way too hard one day and I thought I tore my rotator cuff since certain angles of my arm/shoulder would be excruciating pain and the bones would pinch together until they "popped" back. I finally saw my doctor, thank God it's 'just' an impingement and inflamed rotator cuff. She said I should do "any" workouts with my chest and shoulder for 6-8 weeks and to get physical therapy.
However...
I'm stubborn and am looking for workarounds. It took me years to keep pushing my maxes 5'11", 185lb... max bench 335ish, now down to probably 225ish but now I'm afraid to even do just the bar for fear or setbacks but then I'm losing strength by the day.
This is exactly what I 'think' I need. I do need to cool it for a little while to get the inflammation down but it's amazing to know there are work-arounds in the meantime.

I’ve implemented this technique into my routine and I love it!
Kicks my ass in record time.
Nice work! What did it feel like?
I like the full workout videos.
I have similar shoulder issues (torn labrum, AC joint Issues, etc.) and you have to keep training with modifications….rest only helps to a point. Jeff has been a god send for us older guys still grinding.
Very useful video! This format of video is really inspiring by all the delivered information in form of tips and real exercise execution!
This kind of content motivates me to attack my next workout tomorrow morning. Thank you, Jeff!
You’ve helped me healed a lot on my own from home after my 2015 wreck.
Thank you 🙏
Hey Jeff, thanks for the helpful advise with training as always. Your consistency and discipline is admirable, something that I'm striving to replicate in my own way. Cheers Jeff and Jessie
THANKS s SO MUCH FOR YOUR SHARING THE TYPE OF SLEEVE AND TUFF STUFF FUNCTIONAL TRAINER. I have written to your support staff on the tuff stuff functional trainer and gotten idk. I own AX1, AX2, the NXTS ALL MUSCLE GROUPE AND OLD SCHOOL IRON!!! I am 62 and these products have so enhanced my fitness
THANKS Jeff C ‼️
Great content Jeff, would you also be doing other body parts like this eg legs, shoulders? Have some issues with knees and shoulders and have not trained legs for fear of aggravating knee further.
Also wrists
I got the same issue with my knees bro
Me too I got bad knees can’t really do squats or lunges. But I really miss working out my legs the way I used to.
Look up knees over toes guy. Loads of people seem to have solved their knee issues by following his routines which essentially comprise of working both flexion and extension of the ankle, knee and hips in all ranges of motion.
This is one of the most raw videos I’ve ever seen Jeff post, great content regardless 👍🏽
Thanks Jeff! Have watched your vids for years and this is one of your best. Loved Mentzer since the 80's. Am in my 60's and now using H.I.T. training. Also big fan of Dorian and think he was one of Greatest ever save for that freak Ronnie!
I got a question and a comment for you Jeff.
First, thank you so much for being such a bad ass. I found your channel 2 1/2 years ago when I was a flabby middle aged guy and following your advice my body form has completely changed and I look better than I ever have in my life. So much so that one of my boys has decided to take up working out to improve his form as well. So you're the gift that keeps on giving.
My question: I work out really hard a number of times a week, it hurts, and is exhausting. I take the beating because I love the results and I'm building toward the body I want to have. I figure I'll get there in another 2 1/2 years. I know how hard I have to work to get there. My question is -- what happens when I get there? How do I *maintain* what I've gotten? I don't want to keep building toward some on-stage muscle-man competition. I don't care about that. I just want to take my shirt off on the beach and look good. I'm good with that. But I can't imagine I have to keep working as hard as I do now when I've already reached my goals. Surely I can back off a little. But how much?
That's something I don't think you've ever covered. I understand that's not necessarily your audience -- it's guys that want to get in shape. But following your advice, we're all eventually going to get there. So what do we do when we get there? How do we maintain it?
Just remember that Jeff hardly uses the term working out. Change your mind set to training, or practicing. A new way of life. That being said, what are you training for? If you notice Jeff has been training like this for yrs, and yet he looks the same. Unless you're looking to get huge, you don't have to worry about that. If you follow the tools he lays out you should be fine. I was worried about that too, but I learned that there is a point that our body's peak. So go out there and train buddy you can do it!!
You're not gonna be on stage muscle man competition if you're natural.
When you've reached your goal then just stop progressing overload. Building too much muscle is your least concern since you lose it if you don't use it, unlike fat.
For an older guy (72) with a few aches & pains gonna try this & see if this going to make or break me. But keep this stuff coming Jeff, I'm always learning.
Hi Jeff, I have some back problems, so I try to choose exercises without axial (vertical) load on the spine. I would appreciate your expertise on what exercises should people like me have in their programs for maximum gains.
Do you perhaps already have any videos on the subject and, if not, do you probably plan to cover this topic in one of your future videos?
Thank you in advance and many thanks for all you're doing!
If it's your lower-back, I'd try lying on your front on say a small table...[put some padding on it first to protect your abdomen]...then keeping your body flat, raise your back legs together behind you...[you'll feel your lower back muscles contracting]...try 10 reps 3 times per week....
Ditto
@@raulendymion43 👌🏼
Thanks for your videos. I take all my sets to failure since i started watching your videos and it has made a world of difference. Thanks Jeff
Jeff you’ve really chilled out since your past videos
I wish the best for you Jeff.
Hi Jeff, been following your channel for a little while now of which I have enjoyed and learnt so much. This episode has been so meaningful and puts gaining muscle into perspective. This for me is your best episode yet. Keep up the great work.
Is Critical Mass the program you’re working on for your release during the holiday season this year for a full length program?? I beg you that you make a whole program dedicated to this style of training and let us buy it, because I’m very short on time in my life right now and this is critically needed in my life 😢😢
Love the longer videos with less editing like this. Feels very authentic
Control is so important for this. I've tried to workout with this kind of intensity with weight that was too much for me and got hurt. Listen to all of what Jeff says, not just the intensity part!
Thank you Jeff for showing how you approach exercises even with a hurt arm.
I train with a rotator cuff injury from 1997, I have been training since 2018 consistently, I found volume helps me and has also been productive in muscular development
Jeff Best in the Business. Did this workout except for using rope for Stiff arms, and underhand grip for pulldowns. My torso is on fire will need a couple of days will throw a lower body workout in-between then do rowing movements with Delts and traps. 💪
Uh-oh Jeff just walked in and is looking at me - squeeze in 3 more! My new inspiration thought for the week. Thanks Jeff and Jesse too.
Exactly my thought.
Motivation for me to start going to the gym haha
*What if Jeff walked in the room while you were sitting there watching youtube?*
Get up and start doing burpees and facepulls lol
I love the workouts you put out Jeff. Can you do something on gaining strength without putting too much muscle on some day? I would really love that
After watching so many of your videos and then watching this, I think this is one of the most informative to see your workout to bring it all together. I’ll certainly be taking this approach. Great work and thank you 👍🏽
Mike Mentzer method looked like this: 3 ramp-up warm up sets with very short rest, then 2 exercises for that muscle group with 1 work set each, the second one done right after the other, so a drop set. Both sets are to failure, and an important detail is that both of those exercises /sets are done with intensity technique finishers, such as forces reps or rest pause (in a manner similar to myo reps). So a person would be done with work sets for muscle group in less than 2 minutes, but a gruelling 2 minutes, where you would go to (or beyond) failure like 6 or 7 times.
If Jeff appeared in my gym he would be impressed by my impeccable form. After all, I learned everything I know from the one and only Jeff Cavaliere. 6 years and still going!
Seeing him push beyond the burn into failure was remarkable.
I’ve never trained like that, but starting today I will be
Likewise
Question for you! In some of your other videos you've mentioned that you do ab work every day, is it not necessary to give the abs a break? I have been doing the 6-pack shuffle every other day, but if abs need less time to recover then I want to work them more frequently. Thank you Jeff for everything you do!
Which ab exercies you do the most
Like any other muscle, it needs breaks. I previously did ab workouts daily but I ended up hurting myself after several weeks. My advice is to do them no more than 3-4 times a week if you really want to. More is kind of useless because they function like any other muscle group.
@@ChrisFaitDesFilms I agree. Maybe there are people who can do it every day and make gains. Personally, 3 times (training every other day) is best for me.
@@kaancan303 Weighted crunches supersetted with hanging leg raises. Copied from Milos Sarcev!
@@ChrisFaitDesFilms you hurt an ab?
Thanks Jeff. Would love to see this high intensity/ low volume for shoulders and upper back. Also, with this low volume, could you continue this workout making it a full body or full upper body workout? Or would that be too much high intensity in one workout?
I said this on your last video, this is more helpful content than whats in the plans I’ve purchased from you. Keep it up love it
How to cure knee valgus and flat feet? I have seen your video and I have done those exercises routinely but what should be my next step? Ty for making informative videos. and that has always been one of my most burning questions ever because legs are foundation and without the very best of them we can't do anything. Good day to everyone !
I wish to see more of those videos too because strengthening legs is important and squats and all that are good but aligning them is more important and most people don't have properly aligned legs , so I have observed over the time.
@@idontdragmynameeverywhere2628 true, I hope we get something out of it. 😁 this time finally.
Love the full workout video! I workout exclusively outside of a gym and your videos always have such good information for me!! I'm a workout noob and trying to learn as much as I can without breaking the bank and your videos are always so helpful. I especially love the form cues to help perform the exercise properly and the explanations of workout principles that teach me how to use tempo/different set types and counts/varying intensity/varying volume and I'm so thankful!
All about that squeeze 💪🏻 personally I lifted a lot heavier weights 10 year ago and now I lift half the weight I used to but have twice the size/results in my muscles and I learned that from a few guys at my gym who I used to think how are they in such good shape but so weak compared to me totally oblivious to the fact they had no interest in lifting heavy as possible.😎✌🏻
I'm 34 and heading that way! Lifting heavy heavy is overrated
Definitely going to use this advice
So how many sets and reps? Do you go all the way to failure?
That doesn't make sense.
Progressive overload is needed on all levels. And that means increasing weight over time.
@@Bryan1312a dummy. you can still progressive overload when training lighter. Through tempo, pause, or better form. These are all forms of progressive overload. Lets say you drop from doing 8 reps touch and go on bench with 90 pounds. And drop to 80 lbs but slower tempo and a pause. Still failing at 8. The latter will get you more muscle growth. Progressive overloading that would be doing 90 lbs with the same form as the 80s with tempo and pause. Even though you are still repping 90s for 8 you progressive overloaded because of tempo. And if you were to do touch and go you would prob be able to rep 100s touch and go. Do some research lil man
Swear , Jeff and Jeff are the only channels you need
Hi, Jeff, how would you train with a wrist tendonitis on the ulnar site? It happened during a cheat lateral raise, with the wrist popping on the third rep of the second set. I don't want to get detrained, and would like to continue losing fat, but there are so few exercises that don't require the wrist. Going from pronation to supination is almost impossible. Thank you for everything. You have completely changed the way I workout, and the results speak for themselves.
really enjoy these more casual videos jeff
Hey Jeff, your interview with Dr. Andrew Huberman was so insightful, Thank you man 💪
Love watching the process in action Jeff, awesome video. Great learning experience for those like me that are more visual. Thanks Jeff
Thanks, will do tomorrow 💪
Questions on THIS Video/Workout:
In the Pec portion. You said you were not concerned about intensity/weight, so why not go higher than 80. You did 80 in the warm-up, so you could go higher, but I assume you are protecting your shoulder, by using less weight.
1. Why not do the heaviest weights on the floor then to guard against the over-extension (and do more weight?) but you only did 40lbs there? i.e. Why not pre-exhaust on the bench with 85 and then do 100 on the floor where there is greater protection?
2. Where is the Eccentric Emphasis for Hypertrophy? Could you have cheated some cable crossovers out, with core, and then Eccentrically resisted back - or maybe the stability on those is limited by the core strength?
What were the most Hypertropic elements of this: 1)Super Set to hit with different Exercises 2) Exhaustion/Failure Sets 3) and avoid volume.4) I didn't see you hit a near max?? Why? (Protecting shoulder?)
Also wondering, why not hit Decline real quick here also. (or Incline, but I think Incline could be done separately). Maybe Triceps are too limited to hit Decline effectively.
Thanks :)
1.
You use less weight for floor flys than bench press cuz of the longer moment arm and you only use your chest for this exercise.
Do floor flys first to failure cuz it's mainly chest then you do bench press which allows the triceps, front delts to help and push the chest even further.
2.
This is light weight, 30-50% of 1RM. Not an effective weight for eccentric damage. You gotta use 12RM and under.
Awesome workout/effort.....only problem is finding access to those various machines in a timely manner for that sequence as the 'wait' times while someone else is using the equipment is usually several minutes as in 5 or more no matter what time of day I visit the gym. Overall that was an impressive video of really digging deep in your effort to show us what is possible. Keep up the great work as you lead us on this journey of improving our personal fitness.
I have to say a hearty “God BLESS you” and “Thank you” for this video! 💪💪
As Mike Mentzer would say, 'Do we know what intensity level is required for growth? 50%? 67%? 83%? The only way to know we have crossed the intensity threshold necessary for growth is to go 100% intensity of.effort - where you cannot complete.one more positive rep in good form.' Geat video!
Glad to see how this looked like, as a beginner ("resuming" body building after 20 years of ignorance, at 67kg and 1.8m, a long way to recover, started a bit longer than a month ago) i can say i am emulating something close to this (earlier today in particular).. however, my aim is not to keep it high intensity, i am looking for a long term habit, not really running against the clock, i'll see how well it goes for me, but i'll keep diversifying in mind.
I purchased your course and really enjoyed watching you work out
I don't think Jeff sleeps, he always has content
What I learn from you. While I was doing (and still am) doing inferno max. After my muscle group got used to these burning. Even if it seems to me numb, I manage to push 10 or more reps. Longs I don't feel sharp pain then I can keep going. Arms and chest are used to it - NOW I gotta do the same with my hamstrings
Yes, with my shoulder injury I do lots of face pulls and around the world exercise with arms straight up and down even holding some weight. And change different exorcises for each muscle group during my routine . It works great.
Jeff is the best in the business. Thanks for providing.
Thanks Jeff for all your workouts you are my favorite youtuber.
Thank you so very much! That was such a good explanation of where I'm simply not going anywhere near the distance I can, or should! Would love to see similar videos for the other muscle groups too! Thanks again Jeff!
I like that you're really highlighting the mindful connection good stuff
That vein going up the side of Jeff's face during the dumbbell bench press is freaking me out! :o
Hey Jeff,
Been following you for some time, at least four years, I still use your program.
I want to request a video for frozen shoulder. I dislocated mine over a year ago and I am still struggling in the thaw phase of it. I have seen a PT for a year now and it helps, but man they have given me about 25 stretch/exercises. Are there like 3-5 you would identify as the "must" do for frozen shoulder. Also I am pretty lucky compared to others that struggle for years with it. Appreciate you.
Thanks for this informative I do. I’ve been training my whole life; managing joint issues as I age. Really appreciate the detailed discussion of managing the workouts while limiting tread ware. Cheers.
I never thought about that twisting and turning you do in the lat pull downs. Nice.
Awh I was hoping for a deliciously painful chest and back superset workout 😈 AWESOME STUFF THOUGH! I love both of these towards the later part of a workout.
Top 10 best videos you’ve ever put out. Thank you
Sorry to hear about your shoulder issues. Question: have you tried eliminating ALL grains which I attest is an underlying issue to inflammation, especially where there has been damage. Just trying to add a thought that might help .. since you help all of us so much.
The 🐐. In the field, doing work. Glorious.
Have to say, i enjoyed this. the other day, one bloke said to me "ah so, no rest at all, you just keep going" - like i was the weirdo.... I explained super-sets - i do 5 back-to-back and 3 sets (if i can) upper body, all diff muscles worked, all upper body and it's all kul and the gang, but again, i'm the weirdo....then i start into pyramid and inverted pyramid (basically diamonds for face-pulls, tricep pulldowns & seated leg press), and it works for me....20/30 mins (as opposed to 50mins), i'm in, i'm done, i'm shaky, but i can just about walk home. One one thing i'd love to know...can you gain muscle mass without OD'ing on protein or pulses or whatever. Having really hard time getting the protein in with heat/medicine/knock on from covid etc. The auld carbs are easier on the stomach....
On the floor with a more demanding weight, it is better. Jeff gives us extra support so as not to injure the rotation of the shoulder or the challenger cuff, you always think of everything, Jeff quality.
Quality advice. I'm using Jeff's beast program and it's full of great exercises like these. Keeps you focused and gives you a goal when in the gym. No sitting around watching Instagram...you don't have time be one of those 👍😁
Such an awesome video! Jeff always gives so much value!
First-class teaching, enjoy learning even for an old man like me! Thank you Jeff now as before.
Great video. One reason to hire a trainer is they can push you to failure and past what you think you can do. You want gains? You want them fast? (Fast being a relative term) They're not going to come easy. Some people know how to push themselves really hard. It takes a lot of will power and focus.
Your videos have me saving up to get into your program, and make that process a part of who I am becoming!
When both Jeff’s of fitness RUclips drop a chest video on the same day
Hello Mr. Cavalier, love the video very helpful. Quick question, if your trying to gain muscle, would consuming a good amount of protein help? That way your body can maintain what your trying to gain?
Great video. Mentzer would be proud....Bring some more of this type training.
Jeff, when you you're single sided exercises like you did on your chest here, but realize you can do twice as many reps on one side as the other, how to get the other side to catch up? And yes, I like the longer videos. I'd rather have more info than less. As always, thanks for everything!
Start with your weaker side. Match the number of reps with your strong side that you hit on your weak side. Eventually you’ll even out.
@@joshcarter5759 Thank you!
I’m a 50 year old woman and I can’t get definition on my arms no matter what I do. I have moved up to 20lb weights and still not much over a year. What can I do without hurting myself?
Thank you Jeff!! I have tendentious in my shoulder from rounded shoulders and it it causing pain in my elbow too. This video was very helpful for that. My arms are big enough that the sleeve I have doesn’t fit right. What kind of elbow sleeve are you wearing? It looks like it would fit better. Thank you for all you are doing and helping me get into the best shape of my life at 46!
