Quick summary of the video. One grifter (Nalewanyj) who sells basically useless unnecessary supplements criticizes another grifter who sells basically useless unnecessary supplements. Pro tip my snake oil selling dude. If you want to appear credible and "scientific", put a disclaimer at the BEGINNING of your video that you may have a bias as you also sell supplements.
Jeff is still great but i guess overtime, making new content becomes tougher cos there are only that many ways a person can train pecs , shoulders etc.. Also , content creators will also face greater competition as more and more people will jump on the bandwagon. Only 10% are credible the rest are just copycats or B.shitters. I just hope Jeff dont put money before real education and knowledge. Im sure he is making tonnes of money . Jeff, dont go to the dark side
Money corrupts a lot of people. The more they have, the more they seem to want. Jeff basically became what he originally fought against. Useless supps and some ridiculous exercise variations just to make content, because there's only so much you can talk about the bench, squat and deadlift.
As someone who got into fitness through Jeff's content (and even saw results from one of his programs) I am glad other content creators put out this kind of content. 1) It grounds the debate and shows that nobody is (nor should be) above critique and 2) It helps to build a cautious mindset and be careful and selective of the information/product that's being offered.
No one is exempt from making mistakes or having questionable practices, not even Sean. I still like Jeff's content, but when he fucks up, he needs to be called out on it.
Same here. I've grown muscle and kept in decent shape due to Jeff's channel, but I've never bothered with his supplements after reviewing the ingredients and pricing compared to others such as NOW, and BulkSupplements. I'm greatfull of what I learned from Jeff, but will gladly look at Sean's supplements and compare to what I find on WebMD (my go to source).
@@user-zk4dv2nx8k ironically unlike Greg Douchette and Sean, Alec Enkiri isnt open minded, not to mention his false claims in his initial video which i think he deleted. Dude was only lucky to be right abt the fake weights which other creators called out first.
I always loved Jeff's training advice but never really paid attention to his supplements.... glad I didn't. I kind of always intuitively wrote that off as his income source and not much more.
Sean is a blatant liar. In that 1st video Jeff doesnt say the forms of creatine he uses are more beneficial than others. He clearly states they dont come with the negative drawbacks monohydrate does. I.e. high creatinine levels.
Honestly the only supplements you need are creatine and a well dosed multivitamin. An occasional protein shake on days your protein intake is too low. The rest is marketing BS.
@@DuSeun I know my reply is late and you could even just take creatine monohydrate because various studies revealed that multivitamins are not well synthesized by the body when taken through pills. Natural vitamins through veggies and fruits are still king.
Honestly many RUclipsrs need to realise that they are better off if they stay solely in their niche. For example, when Chris Heria starts talking abt nutrition or squats, when AthleneX talks abt his products, everything goes wrong. They should just stick to what they're good at. There's a reason why Sean doesnt make a video about powerlifting and stick to bodybuilding. Because he knows that there are more knowledgeable ppl on that topic.
My Pre-workout Drink (30min before gym) 1 or 2 shots of Espresso, that is all you need! Gives me the same effect as all the over priced pre-workout formulas I have been consuming the past 20 years. My Pre-workout Meal v2 (last bite 90min before gym) 💪Battle tested💪 - 50g Oats - 130-150g Plain Yogurt (if none available then Greek works too but has more fat) - 10-15g chopped nuts (combination of Hazel and Almond) - 85g Blueberries (power-packed super-fruit) - 1 small sweet apple (grated into the meal with fine texture) I find this BY FAR the most perfect meal I have ever eaten before the gym. Try it and be amazed!
@@sachetkk3828 My post-workout consist of 40 grams of whey protein isolate (depending on brand that could be anywhere from 45-55 grams of product due to other ingredients). Sometimes I also eat a banana with the shake.I then eat chicken and rice 1-2 hours after that. Btw I updated my pre-workout meal. Adding the blueberries makes it perfection! 💪
Never paid attention to Jeff's supplements, because ultimately, everyone has an angle. Jeff's workout advice has helped significantly in my day to day routines, though.
Me too bro. People are abusing him for using fake weights but his techniques are real good. He proved the myth wrong these guyz say if you want to build a good body quit intense sport activities but Jeff with his techniques made it possible.
@@seyonmahendran7182 I partially agree I mean Jeff gives great physical therapy advice and mobility advice and shows proper form which is super important. There are better people for building muscle and strength tho and I think that using the fake weights was to help his image in those areas so people would buy his products over someone else's I just wish he marketed more toward his area of expertise or atleast didn't use the fake weights as it hurts his credibility to me. I mean if u will go out of your way to buy and use fake weights why would u disclose that u get testosterone from your doctor or something else not illegal but that gives u an edge in looking like he does which is just not maintainable for most people( not saying he is for sure or anything but now I have suspicion where if he didn't lie about the weights I'd never have had.)
@@9treyzay I agree with you on that if buying stuffs in athlean x. But the techniques whether or not its fake is quite useful on targeting different muscle groups and activating it. But BUYING PRODUCTS? YES I'D GO WITH YOUR POINT.
@@seyonmahendran7182 yea you're right the advice is solid and he is definitely a net positive in the fitness industry but the only reason to do the fake weights is for selling stuff otherwise he would show big numbers on the weights aren't important just like he correctly teaches they're not. I just personally dislike the disingenuous stuff being used to sell things mostly to young impressionable people or people who really want to change their lives and are trusting him because he gives such good advice I just wish he was honest about it as I think he is better than needing to lie he isn't gimmicky or a charlatan but an accomplished professional full of useful info that should be enough, it maybe more societies fault for making people think u need to lift super heavy to be able to train fitness when that's not the case but either way he partook in it in a way that I find disappointing but I still respect his value and knowledge base. I appreciate your nuanced take not just dismissing where he was wrong but not persecuting him either. Wish y well in your fitness and life's journey friend take care.
Sean, I trust your insights very much. I also follow Jeff Cavaliere's advice regarding specific exercises and general anatomic knowledge. The fact is, my own transformations over the past 3 years have a lot to do with learning from both of you. But I agree with you that Cavaliere's supplements are puzzling and I have never used them. For supplementation, I research and purchase individual ingredients and make my own. But your Real Science line is very close to what I create myself! Pre-Workout (mixed and taken 30 minutes before exercise): 6G - L-Citrulline-Malate 3G - L-Tyrosine 200MG - Caffeine Daily: 5G - Creatine-Monohydrate 3G - Beta-Alanine Before bed on workout days: 25G - Pure Casein Powder
@@thomasvallet9158 I have researched all these components! Here's my pre-workout stack: - 5g Muscle Feast Creapure Creatine Monohydrate - 3g BulkSupplements Beta Alanine - 8g BulkSupplements L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 - 1 200mg BulkSupplements Caffeine Capsule Evenings of workouts, I use one of the following: - 20g Muscle Feast Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate - 20g Muscle Feast Micellar Casein Protein One other note: Creatine and Beta-Alanine are a daily thing, not just a pre-workout, but I do it before my workouts as a convenience. Hope that helps!
I love Jeff, his channel, and his content. He has a great reputation in his field and the academic achievement to go with it. However, when it comes to supplementation I'll never go beyond the basic multi-vitamin, some protein supplement, creatine, and caffeine with a big brand behind it except Starbucks, gimme that trenta strawberry acai with lemonade, lol. The supplement business is such a cash grab when a good nutritional plan is the most effective for your natural fitness enthusiast, which is me. Sometimes, though, my nutrition falls so I do use the above listed to help cover some basic deficiencies.
Hi Sean. You have betain and l carnitine tartrait in your CreElite supplement as well. I wonder why? Are there new studies showing it's working better or something else? I'm thinking of buying your CreElite, but without these 2 ingredients there's only creatine left, and pure creatine is so much cheaper. So not sure if those 2 borderline supplements there apart from creatine worth the higher price.
You should definitely continue making these videos, it’s mind boggling how many people still don’t get it after all this time. You should probably start reviewing workout programs as well, until now people are paying from crap sponsored by big names in the industry. This fight needs to go on.
I am a huge fan of jeff But i am an open minded person and I actually loved how sean doesnt care how big your platform is If you do controversial thing He will come at you
I don’t have a side in this argument but this video loses credibility when you spend 14 minutes bashing a supplement line (including “science based formula”), then throw a plug in for your supplement line that is a “science based formula” in which you receive proceeds from sales. Just saying…
I have similar genetics to Jeff so no doubt he’s inspired me and given me a wealth of knowledge when it comes to working out, eating properly, and shredding fat from my body. With that said, I’m not interested in his supplements. I feel like I can learn something from everyone and can apply it to what works best for me
Grateful that folks like you and MPMD are looking out for peoples’ wallets in regards to supplements. A lot of stuff I hadn’t considered before investing time into your guys’ content.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Gorilla Mind, from More Plates More Dates, even though Derek has been going through his PWO in vivid detail already i'd like to hear your input on it Sean.
As much as I like Sean, I really don’t think he would do this. His main goal here is to dissect or expose bs supplements in order to promote his own. (which is right, I’m not hating) I don’t think he would make a review on a supplement which is superior or at par with his own. It would be a L-L situation for him.
Or make your own pre workout at a cheaper price per serving. Just google it, there are some key ingredients, and you can buy from BulkSupplement (other videos) or TrueNutrition (Omar Isuf video). You can add some other ingredients as different video add some minor, different stuffs. I’m planning to do some research to finalize the formula because some ingredient isn’t necessary for me. Of course, be informative if you want the homemade route. Cheers
@@nhozdien5058 thats what I did. I buy from myprotein which are cheap and every pre on the market is stacked with caffeine and shit which may give a boost the first couple times using it but then just fucks me up. And i found the only pre workout ingredients I really want are citrulline malate beta alanin and creatine (i know ba and creatine arent necesairly pre workout I take them everyday) and I dont have to fuck myself up with caffeine to get the doses I want which are 10grams citrulline malate (so 6,6 grams citrulline) 4 g ba and 5 g creatine. If I take this everyday I pay like 40 bucks for 100 days of this which is around 15 bucks a month which is for every single day and I dont take any other supplements besides some multivitamin and maltodextrin carbs (which btw are also super fuckin cheap I payed like 15 bucks for 5 kilograms so dont get overpriced weightgannes which are just glorified maltodextrin and protein powder) because Im very active and often go from 2 and half hours weighttraining to 1 hour swimming so I need those carbs in between.
Still new to this Channel, and in the industry myself. Have to admit that I love all the videos I've watched so far, tell it like it is straight forward something that I've been looking for and which I knew about this channel Sean Nalewanyj thanks for making these video. Has helped me no lie 💪🏼 there was plenty of other channels that I started following and even taken some advice, I believe try and see how it works for me first. Hit and miss! I'm 45 years old and I got into the industry fully 3 years ago. I'm pretty old school, myself.
Mentioning people being able to have enough daily intake of protein is hard for some people. The time, and availability for protein food is hard to get and aa place to store it or carry it with u can be difficult. I'm still trying his products, pre workout hit me hard, I'm trying his shakes, and reconstruction. But I wouldn't mind trying different brands also. I'm in my personal R&D phase
I carry a cooler bag. A real good mobile meal is 1 lb of Fage 5% with 100g of blueberries. 457 cals and 43g of protein. Throw some Stevia on top of it.
Getting back in gym after years away because of rare heart disease and defibrillator pacemaker. Man I’m learning so much from your channels. I thought I had a great knowledge base but it’s amazing how much better I’m starting to get my routines down smarter. Just dumbbell bench press alone the new technique you showed. Important for me too because I’m not putting stress on left shoulder where my defibrillator pacemaker wires could be worn down or something. Keep it up. Third week back in gym lifting weights and so glad I found you.
I don't care what this guy says in the beginning. You tagged athlean-x and you actually have him in the title. The only purpose you do that for is very simple. You want people to click on your videos period your videos are nothing but bashing another person and product. You're actually trying to make a name of the people you're bashing
4:18 - This right here. A lot of science really sucks, it's sponsored by people trying to alter the narrative. Appreciate you bringing light to all this info.
You have lost my respect. Even if you dislike Jeff, you should have definitely done it in a different angle instead of taking a stab at his supplements and advertising yours instead. Acting like his supplements are the worst. Furthermore, some of his workouts are high output in a small amount of time, which might be why beta alanine is in there.
@@subinjoseph87 I like how you've mentioned him "being condescending" in multiple comments. As though that has any bearing on whether or not these supplements are worth the money.
Sounds like you know your stuff! But then again so does Jeff ! At least when it comes to work out so I don’t know who to believe!? Also is there any third-party who tests all these workout supplements and rates them based off of their ingredients and price!?!?!??
Don’t buy natural supplements. Protein if you don’t like to eat, creatine monohydrate, and caffeine/a efficaciously doses preworkout are the only ones you will get anything from. Maybe a multivitamin. Ecdysteroids if you consider those natural. That’s it. The rest are literally just incomplete proteins (amino acids), or plants that don’t actually do anything and if you’re lucky have maybe 1 study that may show it slightly gives a benefit. Edit: beta alanine if you do endurance events
That's why it's called supplementation, to supplement what you're eating. Eating should be at least +95% of your shit, supplement should compose a very small amount, unless your have medical issues
Props for basing the video on empirical (and hopefully peer-reviewed) research. Would be nice if you could cite your sources in the description though!
Very informative but a little pot calling kettle black with regards to pricing. Currently Jeff's protein is the same price as yours per serving (give or take a few cents)
I like how EVERY price is supposedly reduced with a slash through the supposed previous price. Hilarious. That is a sure sign of someone trying to pull something over on you. In fact, if he never offered at that price, it's illegal. You can't legally list a price as reduced if you never sold it at the higher price for a certain period of time.
I appreciate that Sean doesn’t need to be shirtless in every video. His focus is being informative; not low key showing off. There’s a point when being shirtless so much is trying way too hard for validation.
Gotta disgree here! Jeff's physique is not only amazing and inspiring, but he's so lean you can actually see the different muscle groups he is talking about contracting and lengthening! He is his own anatomy lesson! I appreciate his shirtless takes so I can actually see what he is talking about and how the muscles are working. As someone who loves the anatomy, I appreciate shirtless jeff
Interesting video. I’ve never used Athlean-X, but still found it useful. I’ve been buying Aldi’s brand of whey protein and was puzzling why it has 2g of creatine (30g of protein on the label). That explains it (still at Aldi prices not a bad deal).
Honestly, I'm glad the price was so high that I never even considered buying any of his products. When he is charging 2X the price of any reputable product out there, you know something is up. It's not like he found the 'secret' to supplementation. He is truly screwing over his fan base with the prices he charges.
Dude that's not the point that's not the takeaway. It aint abt the price. U can charge 2x any reputable product as long as it is great. Thats the freaking point. Quality. Not price
@@johndonson1603 Why does anybody buy a used car without shopping around? If they're happy with their purchase then the the salesman did his job. It's called capitalism which has been around for a couple hundred years so deal with it and move on LOL.
At this point, I still watch Jeff's videos for the same reasons that I watch the latest Fast & Furious movies: Nostalgia for what it was and entertainment value, while not taking much of what I watch seriously.
This industry is a joke full of childish clout chasing idiots and this dude is no different Most of his videos is hating and naming other RUclipsr Worst part about this he’s not even in better shape of any the guys he mention I watch Jeff for his knowledge which this dude right away tried to take piss on in his first few seconds in the video I watch Jeff for his credibility I would take a physician who worked with football club and has certificate than this guy anytime any week I never bought Jeff supplement And I would never buy this guy supplement line either
The whole argument of not being in better shape is so bad. You don't need to be better than someone to provide information. Like was Bob Bowman a better swimmer than Phelps? No. He was still an excellent coach. Was Cus a bettet boxer than Tyson? Again no. Is Phil Heath/Brandon Curry/Big Ramy's coach a better bodybuilder than each of them? No. You don't need to be better than to coach. Secondly, Jeff is a physical therapist. That on paper does not qualify him on topics of nutrition - which is the topic Sean is talking about. Also, if you really care about knowledge, how about you look at these contrasting opinions and go read the available literature to decide which of the two seems to be more inline with current scientific knowledge right now?
@@badsolja1 hahahaha spot on my man. I feel exactly the same way, childish clout. I watch many different youtubers for workout advice and some of these videos that call one another out are constructive and meaningful while others leave a strong impression of jealousy. Why there even needs to be supplement reviews is beyond me. None of them are FDA regulated. Almost all have some sort of clever marketing scheme that basically lets them get away with selling you something for a lot of money that isn't quite what the label says it is.
@@badsolja1 Not in any better shape 😆. He's in fantastic shape and the fact you want to judge him by his looks clearly states you don't have the mental capacity to leave any comments on his material. If you had a little more... actually a lot more brain activity you would have caught on he isn't pissing on Jeff's RUclips videos. He's reading labels to do a breakdown of ingredients, which you obviously needed or you wouldn't be here LOL.
I just compared prices between Sean and Jeff's products. Protein supplement on Sean's site is actually just a bit more expensive per gram than Jeff's and he said Jeff's is ridiculously overpriced. And Sean's has BCAA's! --which he lambasted in this video and said are outdated and shouldn't be in any quality supplement. Don't take any of these guys at their word...
Whey protein is ~20% BCAAs. BCAAs have not been added to Iso-M7. They are reporting the amount of BCAAs that occur naturally within their whey protein.
I like kre-alkalyn for two reasons, though I am aware mono is best, all things considered. (1) The bicarbonate buffer makes it more convenient as far as absorption goes (otherwise, need a simple carb with it, which isn't a big deal); (2) my kre-alkalyn just always seems to mix better with cooler water than mono.
Good and seemingly balanced video, though it would be good to see a bio of the papers you’re quoting as the basis for the critique. I do like your content overall though and thanks for posting it out there. Seems very practical. 👍
Facepulls are a mediocre upperback/rear shoulder finisher. They are shit for your external rotation strength compared to cuban rotations and not better than powell raises for delt isolation
Even before all the BS fake weights i wasn't sure about his supplements and gladly never pulled the trigger and bought them. The prices r so high its ridiculous
I like Sean, but there is nothing convincing about this video. It is basically Sean saying buy my products instead of Jeff's. Looking at the Pure Form pre-workout, Xcite's label provides much more value than Sean's, even if both are overpriced.
Agree on the BCAA's and Reconstruction - Protein is expensive too. I buy the pre workout because I prefer the flavors to most of the rest I've tried and don't need a full dose to achieve plenty of energy for my workouts and I'm 56. I usually only use about 1/2 a dose.
Hey Sean! Just curious when the RSA protein and creatine are going to be available. P.S. Your videos, supplements and workout plan are changing my life. Thank you for all that you do!
He's like an entry level youtuber that you watch when you don't know any better. He helps with basic form but aside from that it's subpar information. He pretty much becomes useless after you become an advanced lifter. Unfortunately most don't reach that level.
And you are charging 30$ bucks for 20 servings of L citrulline and caffeine as a pre workout BRUH STOP IT!! Your supps are just as trashed and under dosed 🤣🤣🤣 if you only adding in two ingredients to your “ pre workout” you could at least gave 9 grams of citrulline 🙄
Just Got AthlenX Xero Program. I love it. I appreciate that you are "trying to educate" your viewers... But I have to say.. I went to look at all of the videos that you produce and a large number of them seem to be focused on Attacking your competition.. I am sure that you know what you are talking about... Share your knowledge, so that we know your value. You come across as someone who is afraid of competition.
Would like to point out one thing. Jeff is claiming that HCL is superior not because it gives better power / strength etc, but that you can take LESS of it to have the same results as normal Creatine Monohydrate due to better absorbsion. Another thing is it's a lot easier to digest as well, and no need for a loading phase either. That's what he's advocating for.
Been watching you and Jeff 9y ago and following again last year, Jeff turned into money influenced personality, you are real OG. Keep pumping content through the year and congrats with 1M deserved subs, patience is what most lack and you are amazing in that!
To be honest I'm a huge athlean x fan but I doubted about his products because they were so much expensive... I also contacted Sean to give me his opinion about ingredients a few years before...because we can't take for granted anything and for me being a fan doesn't mean that you have to be close minded to say the less.... Now about Sean's supplements i have read some negative things about caffeine like addiction and that's why pre workouts without caffeine start to get on the scene but overall as far as his omega 3s and multivitamin are concerned they are by far the best I have found even if there was another company's product with similar or higher doses I really doubt that it would be less than triple the price compared to Sean's so in conclusion just a little "worried" about caffeine and that's I would like to hear Sean's perspective about caffeine free pre workouts but overall Sean offers EXCELLENT products!!!
Dont make people buy your products because others suck. Buy yours because your product is better. What Sean did is the lowest of low selling tactics out there. Like Mcd saying KFC is bad when both are fast food. He is lucky Jeff did not initiate a defamation suit on him.
Regardless of the brand, this was very informative - thanks. Could you do a workout program using functional trainers (cable machines) as a future video series?
If knowledge/truth/evidence is what you look for in the health & fitness industry, and if you look long and hard enough, you will eventually find it. You will also see through a lot of the bullshit. Jeff Cavaliere being one of them.
@@jamesperez6785 unfortunately I bought into Jeff's Cavaliers nonsense for too long. It's sad that one of the most popular fitness youtubers actually dosen't have any idea what he is doing, used fake weights on his deadlift and has probably gotten a lot of people injured teaching them horrible form.
To say he doesn’t know anything is pretty silly since he worked for a MLB baseball franchise, however the problem these fitness guys run into is they need/want to make more money and that allure can be corrosive to someone’s credibility.
@@24pagedown there is no doubting Jeff knows his stuff due to his credentials ... which makes it more concerning that he intentionally miss leads his largely beginner audience despite knowing better
To be fair a ton of supplements have terrible ingredients in them, this isn't even nearly that bad compared to what I've seen in the past. In any case I follow Jeff for his workout material not his supplements, lol
Doesn't your own protein powder cost 50$? So complaining about overprized protein while selling exactly that (overprized protein) really doesn't make sense

I love these supplement reviews. No way would I do this level of research so I appreciate Sean doing the heavy lifting
I see what you did there
@@GetYourPull18 Lol I saw that too #HeavyLifting
Sean is a blatant liar. In that 1st video Jeff doesnt say the forms of creatine he uses are more beneficial than others. He clearly states they dont come with the negative drawbacks monohydrate does. I.e. high creatinine levels.
@emmanuelchristie629 that's great dear. Now go pay 60 dollars to get some basic protein that won't raise your creatinine levels
Why am I not surprised about any of this? Keep speaking the truth Sean & shedding light on the good & bad in the industry. 👍
shredding light
supplement industry has been shady & bs for years!!!
Honestly the only supplements you need are creatine and a well dosed multivitamin. An occasional protein shake on days your protein intake is too low. The rest is marketing BS.
@@DuSeun Nah, there are a few other supplements that have been proven to work such as Beta Alanine, L-citrulline etc. , but yea, not many.
@@DuSeun I know my reply is late and you could even just take creatine monohydrate because various studies revealed that multivitamins are not well synthesized by the body when taken through pills. Natural vitamins through veggies and fruits are still king.
Honestly many RUclipsrs need to realise that they are better off if they stay solely in their niche. For example, when Chris Heria starts talking abt nutrition or squats, when AthleneX talks abt his products, everything goes wrong. They should just stick to what they're good at. There's a reason why Sean doesnt make a video about powerlifting and stick to bodybuilding. Because he knows that there are more knowledgeable ppl on that topic.
whats with Heria? what did he say?
Also remember: those prices are in USD! Then, pay for shipping!
My Pre-workout Drink (30min before gym)
1 or 2 shots of Espresso, that is all you need!
Gives me the same effect as all the over priced pre-workout formulas I have been consuming the past 20 years.
My Pre-workout Meal v2 (last bite 90min before gym)
💪Battle tested💪
- 50g Oats
- 130-150g Plain Yogurt (if none available then Greek works too but has more fat)
- 10-15g chopped nuts (combination of Hazel and Almond)
- 85g Blueberries (power-packed super-fruit)
- 1 small sweet apple (grated into the meal with fine texture)
I find this BY FAR the most perfect meal I have ever eaten before the gym. Try it and be amazed!
What about after workout what do you drink
@@sachetkk3828
My post-workout consist of 40 grams of whey protein isolate (depending on brand that could be anywhere from 45-55 grams of product due to other ingredients). Sometimes I also eat a banana with the shake.I then eat chicken and rice 1-2 hours after that.
Btw I updated my pre-workout meal. Adding the blueberries makes it perfection! 💪
Awesome thanks for the information
Never paid attention to Jeff's supplements, because ultimately, everyone has an angle. Jeff's workout advice has helped significantly in my day to day routines, though.
Me too bro. People are abusing him for using fake weights but his techniques are real good. He proved the myth wrong these guyz say if you want to build a good body quit intense sport activities but Jeff with his techniques made it possible.
@@seyonmahendran7182 I partially agree I mean Jeff gives great physical therapy advice and mobility advice and shows proper form which is super important. There are better people for building muscle and strength tho and I think that using the fake weights was to help his image in those areas so people would buy his products over someone else's I just wish he marketed more toward his area of expertise or atleast didn't use the fake weights as it hurts his credibility to me. I mean if u will go out of your way to buy and use fake weights why would u disclose that u get testosterone from your doctor or something else not illegal but that gives u an edge in looking like he does which is just not maintainable for most people( not saying he is for sure or anything but now I have suspicion where if he didn't lie about the weights I'd never have had.)
@@9treyzay I agree with you on that if buying stuffs in athlean x. But the techniques whether or not its fake is quite useful on targeting different muscle groups and activating it. But BUYING PRODUCTS? YES I'D GO WITH YOUR POINT.
@@seyonmahendran7182 yea you're right the advice is solid and he is definitely a net positive in the fitness industry but the only reason to do the fake weights is for selling stuff otherwise he would show big numbers on the weights aren't important just like he correctly teaches they're not. I just personally dislike the disingenuous stuff being used to sell things mostly to young impressionable people or people who really want to change their lives and are trusting him because he gives such good advice I just wish he was honest about it as I think he is better than needing to lie he isn't gimmicky or a charlatan but an accomplished professional full of useful info that should be enough, it maybe more societies fault for making people think u need to lift super heavy to be able to train fitness when that's not the case but either way he partook in it in a way that I find disappointing but I still respect his value and knowledge base. I appreciate your nuanced take not just dismissing where he was wrong but not persecuting him either. Wish y well in your fitness and life's journey friend take care.
@@seyonmahendran7182 didn't he say you should breathe out during a heavy squat?
Sean, I trust your insights very much. I also follow Jeff Cavaliere's advice regarding specific exercises and general anatomic knowledge. The fact is, my own transformations over the past 3 years have a lot to do with learning from both of you. But I agree with you that Cavaliere's supplements are puzzling and I have never used them.
For supplementation, I research and purchase individual ingredients and make my own. But your Real Science line is very close to what I create myself!
Pre-Workout (mixed and taken 30 minutes before exercise):
6G - L-Citrulline-Malate
3G - L-Tyrosine
200MG - Caffeine
Daily:
5G - Creatine-Monohydrate
3G - Beta-Alanine
Before bed on workout days:
25G - Pure Casein Powder
Hi I’m just wondering what brands you use if you do use them
@@thomasvallet9158 I have researched all these components!
Here's my pre-workout stack:
- 5g Muscle Feast Creapure Creatine Monohydrate
- 3g BulkSupplements Beta Alanine
- 8g BulkSupplements L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1
- 1 200mg BulkSupplements Caffeine Capsule
Evenings of workouts, I use one of the following:
- 20g Muscle Feast Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate
- 20g Muscle Feast Micellar Casein Protein
One other note: Creatine and Beta-Alanine are a daily thing, not just a pre-workout, but I do it before my workouts as a convenience.
Hope that helps!
Sean is shedding a lot of light and telling some truths here
Keep up the good work
6:15 You caught me off guard with that 😂
"this piece of shi... this interesting supplement", LOL my ass off
I love Jeff, his channel, and his content. He has a great reputation in his field and the academic achievement to go with it. However, when it comes to supplementation I'll never go beyond the basic multi-vitamin, some protein supplement, creatine, and caffeine with a big brand behind it except Starbucks, gimme that trenta strawberry acai with lemonade, lol. The supplement business is such a cash grab when a good nutritional plan is the most effective for your natural fitness enthusiast, which is me. Sometimes, though, my nutrition falls so I do use the above listed to help cover some basic deficiencies.
Hi Sean. You have betain and l carnitine tartrait in your CreElite supplement as well. I wonder why? Are there new studies showing it's working better or something else? I'm thinking of buying your CreElite, but without these 2 ingredients there's only creatine left, and pure creatine is so much cheaper. So not sure if those 2 borderline supplements there apart from creatine worth the higher price.
You should definitely continue making these videos, it’s mind boggling how many people still don’t get it after all this time. You should probably start reviewing workout programs as well, until now people are paying from crap sponsored by big names in the industry. This fight needs to go on.
i'd love reviews of workout plans, too. and also the form evals/corrections are priceless.
"This piece of shi....This interesting supplement" lmfao 😂😂😂 brilliant work mate 👌🏼
I am a huge fan of jeff
But i am an open minded person and I actually loved how sean doesnt care how big your platform is
If you do controversial thing
He will come at you
I don’t have a side in this argument but this video loses credibility when you spend 14 minutes bashing a supplement line (including “science based formula”), then throw a plug in for your supplement line that is a “science based formula” in which you receive proceeds from sales. Just saying…
It's all bullshit anyway except for creatine monohydrate and a good protein powder. The rest all comes from ordinary healthy food.
I literally died when he said ‘Jeff isn’t exactly known for accurate labeling’ 😂

This reminds me of the time Sean did a full ingredient review of Hyphi Mud.
Kali Muscle and Athelean-X in the same game.
The 200 dislikes are Athlean-X fanboys.
I have similar genetics to Jeff so no doubt he’s inspired me and given me a wealth of knowledge when it comes to working out, eating properly, and shredding fat from my body.
With that said, I’m not interested in his supplements.
I feel like I can learn something from everyone and can apply it to what works best for me
Really appreciate the quality info Sean. Btw I'm currently doing your free workout plan and the strength gains have been amazing. Thank you

@@marksantiago9841 heh yea
@@Mrjaguar1991 quiet, confident savagery. it's the best.
Grateful that folks like you and MPMD are looking out for peoples’ wallets in regards to supplements. A lot of stuff I hadn’t considered before investing time into your guys’ content.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Gorilla Mind, from More Plates More Dates, even though Derek has been going through his PWO in vivid detail already i'd like to hear your input on it Sean.
As much as I like Sean, I really don’t think he would do this. His main goal here is to dissect or expose bs supplements in order to promote his own. (which is right, I’m not hating)
I don’t think he would make a review on a supplement which is superior or at par with his own. It would be a L-L situation for him.
Or make your own pre workout at a cheaper price per serving. Just google it, there are some key ingredients, and you can buy from BulkSupplement (other videos) or TrueNutrition (Omar Isuf video). You can add some other ingredients as different video add some minor, different stuffs. I’m planning to do some research to finalize the formula because some ingredient isn’t necessary for me. Of course, be informative if you want the homemade route. Cheers
@@saanil05 Yep, everyone's in this shit for the $$$, but some are a bit more genuine than others.
@@nhozdien5058 thats what I did. I buy from myprotein which are cheap and every pre on the market is stacked with caffeine and shit which may give a boost the first couple times using it but then just fucks me up. And i found the only pre workout ingredients I really want are citrulline malate beta alanin and creatine (i know ba and creatine arent necesairly pre workout I take them everyday) and I dont have to fuck myself up with caffeine to get the doses I want which are 10grams citrulline malate (so 6,6 grams citrulline) 4 g ba and 5 g creatine. If I take this everyday I pay like 40 bucks for 100 days of this which is around 15 bucks a month which is for every single day and I dont take any other supplements besides some multivitamin and maltodextrin carbs (which btw are also super fuckin cheap I payed like 15 bucks for 5 kilograms so dont get overpriced weightgannes which are just glorified maltodextrin and protein powder) because Im very active and often go from 2 and half hours weighttraining to 1 hour swimming so I need those carbs in between.
@@justdaniel8239 hey that is very good. around 75 cents per day is way cheaper than all of the pre-work on the market.
Still new to this Channel, and in the industry myself. Have to admit that I love all the videos I've watched so far, tell it like it is straight forward something that I've been looking for and which I knew about this channel Sean Nalewanyj thanks for making these video. Has helped me no lie 💪🏼 there was plenty of other channels that I started following and even taken some advice, I believe try and see how it works for me first. Hit and miss! I'm 45 years old and I got into the industry fully 3 years ago. I'm pretty old school, myself.
Thank you for these videos from a mom who has x2 gym going teenagers - your video's really help us get accurate & informative information
Mentioning people being able to have enough daily intake of protein is hard for some people. The time, and availability for protein food is hard to get and aa place to store it or carry it with u can be difficult. I'm still trying his products, pre workout hit me hard, I'm trying his shakes, and reconstruction. But I wouldn't mind trying different brands also. I'm in my personal R&D phase
I carry a cooler bag. A real good mobile meal is 1 lb of Fage 5% with 100g of blueberries. 457 cals and 43g of protein. Throw some Stevia on top of it.
Getting back in gym after years away because of rare heart disease and defibrillator pacemaker. Man I’m learning so much from your channels. I thought I had a great knowledge base but it’s amazing how much better I’m starting to get my routines down smarter. Just dumbbell bench press alone the new technique you showed. Important for me too because I’m not putting stress on left shoulder where my defibrillator pacemaker wires could be worn down or something. Keep it up. Third week back in gym lifting weights and so glad I found you.
I don't care what this guy says in the beginning. You tagged athlean-x and you actually have him in the title. The only purpose you do that for is very simple. You want people to click on your videos period your videos are nothing but bashing another person and product. You're actually trying to make a name of the people you're bashing
4:18 - This right here. A lot of science really sucks, it's sponsored by people trying to alter the narrative. Appreciate you bringing light to all this info.
I love Jeff's channel, but I do enjoy your review here. Thanks for the insight
You have lost my respect.
Even if you dislike Jeff, you should have definitely done it in a different angle instead of taking a stab at his supplements and advertising yours instead.
Acting like his supplements are the worst.
Furthermore, some of his workouts are high output in a small amount of time, which might be why beta alanine is in there.
You're absolutely right. Look how condescending he sounds. He's trying very hard to have his followers stop buying Jeff's and buy his.
Keep buying his snake oil, no one is trying to stop you
@@subinjoseph87 I like how you've mentioned him "being condescending" in multiple comments.
As though that has any bearing on whether or not these supplements are worth the money.
@@mrman2415 I'll just say I'm glad you like what I said.
Thanks, I had no idea what most of these things were or why they are used.
Always on point with your info. You are doing the fitness industry a great service with your videos
Sounds like you know your stuff! But then again so does Jeff ! At least when it comes to work out so I don’t know who to believe!? Also is there any third-party who tests all these workout supplements and rates them based off of their ingredients and price!?!?!??
I don’t know who or what to believe anymore 😭
As someone buying some of these supplements, you've given me alot to think about, thanks Sean
Don’t buy natural supplements. Protein if you don’t like to eat, creatine monohydrate, and caffeine/a efficaciously doses preworkout are the only ones you will get anything from. Maybe a multivitamin.
Ecdysteroids if you consider those natural.
That’s it. The rest are literally just incomplete proteins (amino acids), or plants that don’t actually do anything and if you’re lucky have maybe 1 study that may show it slightly gives a benefit.
Edit: beta alanine if you do endurance events
Just eat enough food. stick with creatine monohydrate and caffeine. The rest of supplements are just bs or not as good as they say.
@@moj5116 And whey protein
AthleanX is my go to channel but ive always thought the best supplement is actual food.
Supplement means in lieu of.. so saying food is best supplement doesn't make any sense
@@mattharper1242 then the best way to get your neutrients.
That's why it's called supplementation, to supplement what you're eating. Eating should be at least +95% of your shit, supplement should compose a very small amount, unless your have medical issues
@@JD-jc5hg You're not wrong
I would LOVE to see you break down Jym Steppani (zeeeeeeero chance I spelled that right) and his supplement information!!
Props for basing the video on empirical (and hopefully peer-reviewed) research. Would be nice if you could cite your sources in the description though!
Very informative but a little pot calling kettle black with regards to pricing. Currently Jeff's protein is the same price as yours per serving (give or take a few cents)
I like how EVERY price is supposedly reduced with a slash through the supposed previous price. Hilarious. That is a sure sign of someone trying to pull something over on you. In fact, if he never offered at that price, it's illegal. You can't legally list a price as reduced if you never sold it at the higher price for a certain period of time.
I pity the people who bought those supplements at their original prices
Am I the only one in thinking this channel deserves way more subscribers than Athlean X?
It does, but Sean doesn’t post stupid ass body weight 6 minute ab workouts to milk a quick 50 million views.
@@PetSymmetry true. I know which I prefer though
Athlean X used to be an excellent channel. Many of those subs are people who have drank the Kool-Aid and don’t realize they are part of the cult.
You’re not alone. Sean has a top quality channel, is an all around great guy, and is as honest as they get as well. 👍
@@FitLabb couldn't agree more
I appreciate that Sean doesn’t need to be shirtless in every video. His focus is being informative; not low key showing off. There’s a point when being shirtless so much is trying way too hard for validation.
I hear you brother. That shit gets on my nerves
This though.
Why do you do it? You probably just can’t get enough of yourself Right??
Gotta disgree here! Jeff's physique is not only amazing and inspiring, but he's so lean you can actually see the different muscle groups he is talking about contracting and lengthening! He is his own anatomy lesson! I appreciate his shirtless takes so I can actually see what he is talking about and how the muscles are working. As someone who loves the anatomy, I appreciate shirtless jeff
@@NEXTLEVELHEALTHwithTim I agree with you. Not only for what you pointed out, but also because his body is like an advertisement for his program.

My go-to supplements are a can of Monster Energy before the workout and a rotisserie chicken afterwards.

@@BarelyFunctional69 nope man... they are too strong
What drink all that sugar and chemicals? The only preworkout one should need is motivation.
Interesting video. I’ve never used Athlean-X, but still found it useful. I’ve been buying Aldi’s brand of whey protein and was puzzling why it has 2g of creatine (30g of protein on the label). That explains it (still at Aldi prices not a bad deal).
Honestly, I'm glad the price was so high that I never even considered buying any of his products. When he is charging 2X the price of any reputable product out there, you know something is up. It's not like he found the 'secret' to supplementation. He is truly screwing over his fan base with the prices he charges.
And the worst part is that they don’t know any better. He’s conning them and that’s why I hate him. What he’s doing should be illegal.
Dude that's not the point that's not the takeaway. It aint abt the price. U can charge 2x any reputable product as long as it is great. Thats the freaking point. Quality. Not price
@@johnwig285 Sure but these ingredients are not worth that amount of money relative to what they give you and they never will be.

Thank you Sean, all these videos save a ton of time having to research myself. Appreciated 👍💪
8:30 such a glowing recommendation.
I guess the question is, are there ANY good, trusted supplements out there? I’ve yet to trust ANY enough to purchase now going on almost a year.
You are awesome, Sean. You're very much appreciated for doing what you do.
"So this ingredient here is purely for label decoration and it really makes zero sense whatsoever." Ouch.
At this point, I still watch Jeff's videos for the same reasons that I watch the latest Fast & Furious movies: Nostalgia for what it was and entertainment value, while not taking much of what I watch seriously.
This industry is a joke full of childish clout chasing idiots and this dude is no different
Most of his videos is hating and naming other RUclipsr
Worst part about this he’s not even in better shape of any the guys he mention
I watch Jeff for his knowledge which this dude right away tried to take piss on in his first few seconds in the video
I watch Jeff for his credibility
I would take a physician who worked with football club and has certificate than this guy anytime any week
I never bought Jeff supplement
And I would never buy this guy supplement line either
The whole argument of not being in better shape is so bad. You don't need to be better than someone to provide information. Like was Bob Bowman a better swimmer than Phelps? No. He was still an excellent coach. Was Cus a bettet boxer than Tyson? Again no. Is Phil Heath/Brandon Curry/Big Ramy's coach a better bodybuilder than each of them? No. You don't need to be better than to coach.
Secondly, Jeff is a physical therapist. That on paper does not qualify him on topics of nutrition - which is the topic Sean is talking about. Also, if you really care about knowledge, how about you look at these contrasting opinions and go read the available literature to decide which of the two seems to be more inline with current scientific knowledge right now?
@@badsolja1 hahahaha spot on my man. I feel exactly the same way, childish clout. I watch many different youtubers for workout advice and some of these videos that call one another out are constructive and meaningful while others leave a strong impression of jealousy. Why there even needs to be supplement reviews is beyond me. None of them are FDA regulated. Almost all have some sort of clever marketing scheme that basically lets them get away with selling you something for a lot of money that isn't quite what the label says it is.
@@badsolja1 Not in any better shape 😆. He's in fantastic shape and the fact you want to judge him by his looks clearly states you don't have the mental capacity to leave any comments on his material. If you had a little more... actually a lot more brain activity you would have caught on he isn't pissing on Jeff's RUclips videos. He's reading labels to do a breakdown of ingredients, which you obviously needed or you wouldn't be here LOL.
@@badsolja1 fanboy spotted
I just compared prices between Sean and Jeff's products. Protein supplement on Sean's site is actually just a bit more expensive per gram than Jeff's and he said Jeff's is ridiculously overpriced. And Sean's has BCAA's! --which he lambasted in this video and said are outdated and shouldn't be in any quality supplement. Don't take any of these guys at their word...
Whey protein is ~20% BCAAs. BCAAs have not been added to Iso-M7. They are reporting the amount of BCAAs that occur naturally within their whey protein.
Jeff's fans will buy anything he sells
hahaha
Most of the fans are Indian teenagers.
Literally
No way sir
I like kre-alkalyn for two reasons, though I am aware mono is best, all things considered. (1) The bicarbonate buffer makes it more convenient as far as absorption goes (otherwise, need a simple carb with it, which isn't a big deal); (2) my kre-alkalyn just always seems to mix better with cooler water than mono.
And mono bloats me
Am I the only one who saw that fake weight joke 💀
no
Good and seemingly balanced video, though it would be good to see a bio of the papers you’re quoting as the basis for the critique. I do like your content overall though and thanks for posting it out there. Seems very practical. 👍
I think we need a review for face pulls too😂
i may be wrong, but im pretty sure face pulls deserve there respect.
Sean said that facepulls are great for various purposes
Fuck facepulls. Prone Y gang represent, Upright Row our brother cartel and high pull is cool with us
Facepulls are a mediocre upperback/rear shoulder finisher. They are shit for your external rotation strength compared to cuban rotations and not better than powell raises for delt isolation
Man, I’ve been buying BCAAs for a while now. How would I know if they are good for me or if I should ditch them?
Even before all the BS fake weights i wasn't sure about his supplements and gladly never pulled the trigger and bought them. The prices r so high its ridiculous
Always love to see a new Sean Nal video! Love the new intro!
I like Sean, but there is nothing convincing about this video. It is basically Sean saying buy my products instead of Jeff's. Looking at the Pure Form pre-workout, Xcite's label provides much more value than Sean's, even if both are overpriced.
Agree on the BCAA's and Reconstruction - Protein is expensive too. I buy the pre workout because I prefer the flavors to most of the rest I've tried and don't need a full dose to achieve plenty of energy for my workouts and I'm 56. I usually only use about 1/2 a dose.
Hey Sean! Just curious when the RSA protein and creatine are going to be available.
P.S. Your videos, supplements and workout plan are changing my life. Thank you for all that you do!
I'm trying to reconcile hearing you say LCLT is not good and seeing one of your supplements has it in it
I used to really follow Jeff when I was a noob. Wish I was more discerning back then.
He's like an entry level youtuber that you watch when you don't know any better. He helps with basic form but aside from that it's subpar information. He pretty much becomes useless after you become an advanced lifter. Unfortunately most don't reach that level.
He trains athletes dude.
6:14 lol my exact thought when i read the description of that product
And you are charging 30$ bucks for 20 servings of L citrulline and caffeine as a pre workout BRUH STOP IT!! Your supps are just as trashed and under dosed 🤣🤣🤣 if you only adding in two ingredients to your “ pre workout” you could at least gave 9 grams of citrulline 🙄
12g Citrulin Mal minimum but should be 15g at least tbh
Love these breakdown video's. They really educate me on what products to get, helped me save money and get the best products for me.
Just Got AthlenX Xero Program. I love it. I appreciate that you are "trying to educate" your viewers... But I have to say.. I went to look at all of the videos that you produce and a large number of them seem to be focused on Attacking your competition.. I am sure that you know what you are talking about... Share your knowledge, so that we know your value. You come across as someone who is afraid of competition.
Typical style to try to build a name. Jeff is the man
Sean, have you ever looked at products from Blue Star Nutraceuticals such as their creatine, protein powders, pre-workout, etc.?
Jeff Cavalier : "Real weights are killing your gains"
Ohhhh shit!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I should’ve thought of that!!!!
Great video Sean! Would love to see you review popular protein powders
Would like to point out one thing. Jeff is claiming that HCL is superior not because it gives better power / strength etc, but that you can take LESS of it to have the same results as normal Creatine Monohydrate due to better absorbsion. Another thing is it's a lot easier to digest as well, and no need for a loading phase either. That's what he's advocating for.
Can you do break down for Cellmass 2.0 from finish first and other products from the company if you like. Thank you for keeping real!
"This piece of sh.. supplement"
🤣🤣
Love it!
Been watching you and Jeff 9y ago and following again last year, Jeff turned into money influenced personality, you are real OG. Keep pumping content through the year and congrats with 1M deserved subs, patience is what most lack and you are amazing in that!
Great job. I knew it, your video confirmed my suspicion. Overpriced garbage
To be honest I'm a huge athlean x fan but I doubted about his products because they were so much expensive... I also contacted Sean to give me his opinion about ingredients a few years before...because we can't take for granted anything and for me being a fan doesn't mean that you have to be close minded to say the less.... Now about Sean's supplements i have read some negative things about caffeine like addiction and that's why pre workouts without caffeine start to get on the scene but overall as far as his omega 3s and multivitamin are concerned they are by far the best I have found even if there was another company's product with similar or higher doses I really doubt that it would be less than triple the price compared to Sean's so in conclusion just a little "worried" about caffeine and that's I would like to hear Sean's perspective about caffeine free pre workouts but overall Sean offers EXCELLENT products!!!
To summarize: Sean doesn’t want you to buy Jeff’s supplements, he wants you to buy his
i dont get overspending on Pre when you can just buy the base ingredients in bulk yourself and mix them
Dont make people buy your products because others suck. Buy yours because your product is better. What Sean did is the lowest of low selling tactics out there. Like Mcd saying KFC is bad when both are fast food. He is lucky Jeff did not initiate a defamation suit on him.
Regardless of the brand, this was very informative - thanks. Could you do a workout program using functional trainers (cable machines) as a future video series?
Wow Athlean X has really unravelled this year. 18 months ago he was on a pedestal as a trustworthy source
He still has an army of 17 year olds who try to defend everything he says.
If knowledge/truth/evidence is what you look for in the health & fitness industry, and if you look long and hard enough, you will eventually find it. You will also see through a lot of the bullshit. Jeff Cavaliere being one of them.
@@jamesperez6785 unfortunately I bought into Jeff's Cavaliers nonsense for too long. It's sad that one of the most popular fitness youtubers actually dosen't have any idea what he is doing, used fake weights on his deadlift and has probably gotten a lot of people injured teaching them horrible form.
To say he doesn’t know anything is pretty silly since he worked for a MLB baseball franchise, however the problem these fitness guys run into is they need/want to make more money and that allure can be corrosive to someone’s credibility.
@@24pagedown there is no doubting Jeff knows his stuff due to his credentials ... which makes it more concerning that he intentionally miss leads his largely beginner audience despite knowing better
Thanks Sean!!
To be fair a ton of supplements have terrible ingredients in them, this isn't even nearly that bad compared to what I've seen in the past. In any case I follow Jeff for his workout material not his supplements, lol
He forgot to mention the artificial sweetners such as Sucralose and Acesulfame. Artificial sweeteners are a deal breaker for me.
He dared criticized Jeff! Mobilize the clone army! 😜
Doesn't your own protein powder cost 50$? So complaining about overprized protein while selling exactly that (overprized protein) really doesn't make sense
It makes sense if you watch the video properly
As usual, amazing vid. Thanks for that. Sooooo good to hear the truth, and to expose those marketing briven burglars.
