- Get my new Rise signature line here: www.risestore....
In this video I'm telling the story of my own lifting journey. I explain the origins of my passion for lifting and how it came from basketball, my interest in the science of building size and strength, why I like to blend powerlifting and bodybuilding styles of training and how I approach overcoming setbacks in the gym. I also explain the meaning behind the slogan for my signature clothing line with Rise: Only The Strong Survive.
Almost three years ago, I set the goal of creating a line of gym clothes that would have the perfect fit, style and personal meaning to me. After many sleepless nights spent brainstorming, tweaking and perfecting, it's finally available. Check out the full line of items here: risestore.com

I'm an Italian physicist, never liked any sport in my life nor was interested at all in strength training. I randomly started watching your videos as a casual gym user, started liking your scientific approach and tried to run your programs until strength training became a fundamental part of who I am today, not only physically but also psychologically, literally changing my life. I suspect you have no idea of how many different people from all across the globe you influenced. Thank you Jeff.
Bravo💪
The 15-minute long video was released for 6 minutes when this well-organized comment was posted. Are you a time traveler?
Nice advertisement, bot.
@@poorlittlesheep4098 Why people feel the need to hate on everything? Still have to watch the video, just a thought that casually came from my mind, no need for time travel. If however you are curious about it I'm open for some discussion on Einstein relativity.
@@Pinzauti ey bro I’m a Norwegian physics student I’m down to have a chat:D
As a short guy who has insecurities I now know why I’ve been drawn to your content over the years. This is inspirational my friend
How tall are you?
@@vishagh7352 You'd think an insecure guy would tell you?
I used to worry about my height so much but ever since I go to the gym, I totally see a different aspect within myself and what I’m capable of. You can’t change what you can’t change so why spend time worrying so much about it? Put your effort on what could bring result and then you’ll free your mind from those insecurities. I’m only 5’5 asian guy living in America but my mental is on top of the world and no shit can put me down. All my ex were 5’6-5’7 and I used to hook with a 5’9 lady so fuck the height know what I mean 😉 It’s all about attitude my king!!!
Short guys knew the second he mentioned basketball inspiration as a little kid who he was going to say!
@@KhoaNguyen-py5lv yeah but all your ex’s are now in relationships with tall guys
Jeff, you didn't just change the way I train, you changed my life. You should know that. Thank you.

@@GTLopez85year late buddy
His story resonates so much with the line “Sometimes you gotta let go of who you want to be, in order to become who you are meant to be”.
Real. Kids these days are taught that they can be whatever they want, which is inspirational for a time, but the real world has limits and so do they. Eventually they'll be disappointed when they find out that they cannot infact be and do whatever they choose. Being who you're supposed to be is honorable though, although that begs the question: who decides who I'm meant to be? My parents, society, myself, my genetics, God? It's a tricky discussion.
@@maxalaintwo3578 true,I choose be the best version you can be,and every day is a new day.
@@maxalaintwo3578 Damn, that’s a philosophical question I don’t have an answer to but I can say this much, once you become who you are meant to be, you just know that this is what you’re meant to be. But the people whose “want to be” matches with their “meant to be” are really really lucky.
Definitely an inspiration mate, hope all is well 💪🏼
What is the music at the end of vid sounds awesome?
I find it really sad that a lot of influencers are saying that you dont work out hard enough, when they dont realize your reasons for working out that way.
You have been a huge inspiration for me to train smarter instead of pushing limits that are there for a reason. Science based training that focuses not just on getting higher numbers but also on longevity is greatly appreciated by your community!
I mean, you don't bench 370 @162lbs without working hard so..
Pushing the limits and breaking them is the only reason to train. Longevity is not correlated with training like a p***y.
@@thespash7391 who says that?
@@thespash7391 there is a difference between pushing yourself intelligently and pushing yourself too much. Personally I feel like a lot of people are overtraining, doing junk volume and train with too heavy weights with sloppy form.
Thats not how to get bigger, thats just how to get injured. However by planning out your training cycle and training at a high intensity with good form: You will get a lot more progress.
@@thespash7391 pretty idiotic comment. not everyone wants to get bigger or stronger. some people just want to maintain their current strength levels, or be healthier, or cross train to help with other sports. next time you start a comment with "X is the only reason to train" take a step back and think about what you're saying...
Jeff: Telling an amazing, inspiring story about himself
RISE at 9:22 out of nowhere: Hey, remember we're paying you to promote our items
Really freaking annoying
True that. Really weird how it transitioned from life story to Rise apparel.
Yeah sorry Jeff but that was really bad lmao
It felt weird to me as well
Sponsorblock babiiiiiiii
I didn't get the ad
This is incredibly well done, Jeff! Especially for a 3-man crew. As a fellow Canadian, proud of you my dude 🔥🇨🇦
Cloths arn't fire retardent.
As a fellow Canadian I'd like to state not all of us are 5'2 dwarfs
@@PEEERRRR you're 5'6"?
Jeff's story is just like mine, but my clothing line has blue accents. My slogan is " FRDL" full range deadlift.
@@PEEERRRR lmao why body shaming him?who hurt you ?i thought canadians were polite? lmaoo
Dude I'm probably never gonna have to watch another motivational video ever again.This got me motivated for life. Wow. The quality of this video is incredible. Thanks Jeff for making such quality content.
We need a whole hour to two hour long documentary on you jeff! Your story is very incredible and fascinating. Love the video, love your channel, and thank you for being one of the guys in the fitness community we can all count on 💙
I’m a skateboarder and I’ve dislocated my shoulder at least 20+ times over 2 years… found your channel after my surgery/physical therapy and decided to dedicate more time to lifting so my chances of getting hurt again slim down.
That fear of re-injury really does hold you back… hearing you say that deeply resonated with me. Very inspiring and happy to see you’re doing well! 🖤
Same but with my ankle… slowly getting that confidence back, six months post-op, it‘s hard but what Lifting weights taught me, is that showing up matters more than learning a new trick. Just being consistent with it. This injury was a blessing in disguise
I’m 42. I’m glad you have this information to hand at your stage in life. I am assuming your till very young. I dislocated my right shoulder too many (15) times. Had to have surgery. My left also a lot no surgery on the left. Because of it I was scared to do any lifting until I turned 35. Best thing ever. Make sure you do a lot of research. I couldn’t, RUclips is a lifesaver.
I only dislocated my shoulder 2x before getting surgery because each dislocation was so traumatizing, I'm so sorry you went through 20+ 😰fear is reinjury is so real
Probably one of the best advertisements for workout clothing I’ve ever seen
My thoughts exactly!!👏👏
Incredibly well done Jeff, this video perfectly encapsulates the friend (and lifting hunk) that I know.

Top tier Jeff humor
I'm a transguy with ADHD and Autism. Struggled with being overweight since my thyroid got destroyed by my immune system, which I was probably about 7 or 9 when it started. I got medicated and diagnosed at 19/20, and I found Jeff's channel. I've now lost 40lbs, completely changed my physique, my lifestyle, and I'm much stronger. My sleep is better, I eat better, and I FEEL better. I'm more confident, and I want to go to college for Kinesiology, despite dropping out previously before being diagnosed with ADHD, 3 times. Thank you so much for helping me improve myself and helping me find my passion. 💪😅 Btw, this week is max out week, and so far I have 225lbs for Squat, 155lbs for Bench, and Deadlift is on Wednesday! 🤩
Update: Deadlift max 260lbs with conventional, up from 255lbs with Sumo/225lbs with Conventional
Overhead Press max 100lbs
You and Stephanie have been such an inspiration to my ED recovery, and my husband’s fitness journey. Cannot thank you both enough for being such a positive impact on this platform xx
Jeff- you inspire me. I am very grateful for your integrity about the research behind lifting. How you are honest about your strength and challenges. I am a BIG fan. I am a 59 year old female just getting into weight lifting again after a long battle with my health. So grateful for you! You help me to be stronger every day.
I was lucky to be around during the early basketball obsession days back in our small town. Loved this mini documentary and following your progression through the years
Your videos took a huge part in my mental transformation. I've overcomed an injury, relationship breakdown, graduated, found a decent job. You guide me through difficult moments thanks to testosterone boost and elevated self esteem. Thanks!
thank you for everything Jeff Nipprd. It is because of you that I finally reached a 225lbs bench! Something i never saw happening this soon! You have changed my life and the lives of many others. Don’t stop!
I'd watch a feature length biopic for sure. Learning more details of the injury, the rehab, the school work, the training, all of it. I think it would be super interesting to see how it all started and where you are now.
100% supported

63 old male only started lifting about 4 years ago after losing 70 lbs. Competing is your personal thing, not so mine. I enjoy your videos. I rely on your expertise for information in assisting with my own personal performance and goals. Thank you for helping me to continue to strive, to improve and build my physique. OTSS
This is a really powerful video. I get that it is a commercial, and it would have been better to take the clothes stuff out, but hey, guess Jeff has to pay the bills like we all do. Respect.
I am a short guy and I look up to you for inspiration. You don't know how much impact you had on my thinking and understanding of strength training. You changed the course of my life Jeff. Thank you.
Jeff is the best fitness influencer on RUclips by a mile. Great filming and editing team too- This vid feels like a trailer for a blockbuster drama that I would absolutely go see right now in theaters lol.
If you want high production quality, Calgary Barbell is a great channel as well
Yes! Totally 2nd that :)
When I hurt my back early Covid, I was devastated. Same thing as you, warmup deadlifts and I was down for weeks. Though my injury wasn’t as bad as yours, my mental health hit rock bottom. But your progression post injury, helped me regain motivation and allowed me to get over the fear of re-injuring my back again. So when you mentioned this in this video, made me even prouder to be a Rise consumer.
Thank you for everything. You will not know how much you have helped me turn my life around and I cannot express it adequately here. You are making a true difference.
Had a blast working on this! 🎥 Thanks for your trust Jeff. Excited to take things next level on the next one. 👀🔥
It's really an incredible video! I had goosebumps with the ending & music. Great work!
@@jikiwaify thank you!
Amazing work man! that deadlift shot was the best! :D
I love your content and it’s helped me a bunch. Because of your content at 43 I’m lifting more with less pain than I ever have
"I would let my strength be the goal but let my physique be the outcome"
That just hit so hard
It's funny you mention how much you like basketball, because you're basically the Michael Jordan of fitness and nutrition, at least in my opinion. I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I've picked up so much knowledge. I can't thank you enough for that. I'm not really into body building, just a fat dude trying to be a decent looking, strong guy. Your videos have helped me out a lot. Thank you.
The production of this is crazy good. Awesome job and story
m.ruclips.net/video/uZdv-TtiMkg/видео.html
Its a carbon copy of any 2017 or older documentary lol.
It has good production quality but it is exactly the same as any other documentary from the early 2010s
You are an inspiration Jeff ..... I can't even describe how much this vedio resonates with me
It was fine until the cheesy, 'inspirational' ad for his merch half way through. So manipulative lol
@@k1xnt it would have been manipulation if he had structured his whole channel around his paid programs. But he doesn't he doesn't even say u need to buy his programs to achieve his strength or physique. Let alone his merch
@@skectoa6669 yeah usually he's really good about selling his shit at the end of beginning of the video. . Instead of trying to sneak it in like he did here.
@@k1xnt I am sorry are u talking about the same youtuber who despite having paid programs continues to make videos on free plans? Are u talking about the same youtuber who tells us all the scientific facts for free? All he does is sell a paid program related to the scientific program for people who don't want to do that much work.
I had a double hernia (L4-L5, L5-S1) that left me paralyzed and unable to even sit for six months last year. I lost 35lbs (16kg) of YEARS of hard work and had to just lay there in bed while I wasted away. The past months getting back into the gym have been terrifying - I never know when the next set is going to make my back just pop and out me back in a hospital bed. Knowing you went through that and came back stronger is really inspiring. Your technique Tuesday videos have helped tremendously in making sure my form is better and prevents injury, and I’ve gone from benching 5lb dumbbells to 255lbs in under a year with no pain. It’s a slow grind and the fear of reinjury is still there, but I know one day I’m gonna feel confident again like you do now. Cheers, brother
You can do it man! had a right hernia about a year and a half ago from birth. Took me until the age of 15 to finally get the surgery done because I was afraid of talking to my mom about my man parts. Now, I can get into the gym again without worries! Keep grinding; only the strongest survive
@@mith3879 these words of encouragement are a much needed boost on Christmas Eve. Thanks, man! Glad to hear you’re doing well too
Masterfully captured the journey 💯
Felt like I just came out of a cinema ready to watch the full movie I love it!
Hey man I know you probably won’t see this comment, but my whole life I’ve dealt with feeling weak and insignificant because of my height (5’6”). Watching your videos got me started with weightlifting few years ago, and now I’m deadlifting weight that guys twice my size struggle with. You were an inspiration to me and have helped me be someone who no longer feels weak or small or I insignificant anymore. I hope you know your story is inspiring as well
Jeff, I had been a life long martial artist, study many different styles. 1 year ago, I sustained a serious injury in BJJ. I couldn’t even twist a jar lid open for months after surgery. I was contemplating what my next fitness journey should be when I came across your channel. As soon as physical therapy was over and I could lift a 10lb dumbbell, I knew weight lifting would be next. I used to never get my weight past 160lbs. Now, I’m usually anywhere 170-175lbs and stronger than anytime in my life! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!
That shit is insane. As someone who is Been in the gym grinding for over a year for health issues I've Been watching you now for about 8 months. And this video was very emotional to me. The light at the end of tunel you know
Thank you Jeff, you've helped me grow in incredible ways. I've been watched your videos and it is top tier quality. Thank you for not quitting.
So lucky to have learned my info from Jeff as a newbie lifter, he inspired my love for the science behind bodybuilding!! This is so cool to see his journey!!
You have provided immense value to the bodybuilding community on RUclips. It’s great to see your background story for the first time.
Behind every great man is a story filled with great trials and obstacles. Jeff is no different. Hats off to this remarkable man.
Mateeee, this is almost the exact same story as me. I started as an aspiring basketballer and transitioned into the world of powerlifting.
Although I also hurt my back but even before that, I just started having knee issues, torn muscles, popping anti inflammatories before every work out. i remember running a five day program, 3 hour sessions and at the two week mark, i could barely stand without nerve pain down my leg.
Ended up competing one more time but my body was so beat up, I stopped training for years.
I’ve been consuming a tonne of your content and have recently just started back into training and that love for the iron is coming back.
Thanks for being an inspiration brother.
Amazing video and story. As someone who’s battled and beaten cancer 3 times in the last 4 years, and is starting to get back into weightlifting this is a line I feel like is made for me. Been through the ringer and still want to better my health and body. Loved the story keep grinding
‘’Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets ... any sound investment will eventually pay off."
Making it out at a young age is quite difficult. I started a side hustle at 17, saved up and made some good investments. l'm 28,live on my own and having a good life for myself. Big ups to you and everyone out there trying
Sounds like plan, how do you put money to work?
Yes it sure is. I put in money in investments and get profits. That 's how I make more money without working. This does not sound new to you right ?
@@cryptocasey1083 Thanks for replying me, I've heard so many people talk about investment but none had said how to do it right.
Am hoping on you can explain more on how you make extra income from investments
You’re a legend man. You’ve inspired me to really take bodybuilding seriously myself, and shown me that science can be applied to anything in life.
I'm graduating med school in less than a month from now, and today I took an exam in order to try to enter a pediatrics residency program. My score was sure not the one I wanted, but oddly I didn't feel bad at all. I've been through so much in the last 10 years - long relationship breakup, my family's companie went bankrupt, my mother got diagnosed with Parkinson, among many other situations. I had to become a cornstone to my family while fighting to never drop the ball at medical school. All the pain and hardships really taught me that the end results really does not matter - what does matter is the fact that I will always persist. As long as I know that I'm improving day by day, I know that I will get what I'm intended to. Your story really resonates with me, and resistence training has been a giant support in order for me to overcome all that happened. Your videos have helped me step my workouts to another level, and so I might say that you had your part in all of this. Thank you
Thank you so much for pushing through your hardest time Jeff ⏳
that's why we have a legend himself guiding us to get out of our comfort zone ❤️
I have always loved bodybuilding, I remember getting into it around the days that Mike Chang from six pack shortcuts was one of the main RUclips fitness guys, I started watching your videos years ago and they were the ones that that really helped me understand fitness on a deeper level. I bought your push/pull/legs program and body recomposition program around six months ago and I have read them cover to cover at least three times and I can't thank you enough for all that you do. Whatever got you here I am thankful for it 🙏
Such an inspiration to many, thanks for posting! I really like your fitness journey. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Have you ever used any of these custom meal plan tools? I got one from Next Level Diet to help me add some muscle and I actually like their plans. Was just wondering if you've heard of or tried any of them yourself. Thank you!
As a fellow Canadian🇨🇦, well done Jeff! Your scientific approach make my wife and I the energy to go to lift weights. I'm better then never, and my relationship is perfect now. You make me known Rise, this perfect athletic clothing company 30km from my house. Don't give up!
The video is dope 😎
I'm not the kind of guy to collect celebrities and obsess about them, but I'll confess to being a fan. Jeff provides the best combination of meta analysis, proficient but efficient editing, attractiveness, and humility I've yet seen in the field of strength training in his Technique videos, and is the only record-holding, content-producing weight lifter I know of who is nearly as short as I am. I am really happy Jeff has finally recovered 100% from the mental trauma of a serious injury and I can only hope I never know an analogous trauma.
Respectfully, this video produced a negative reaction inside of me that I feel compelled to share because I hold Jeff in such high regard and I completely lack his modesty. Any constructive criticism I offer is only meant to lead to improvement on future documentaries. This documentary lacks everything I like about Jeff; It's overproduced, over cut, bombastic, over the top, and a little unfocused - it was half-way in before I realized what the point was supposed to be. It often felt more like a Rise commercial than something made for Jeff's benefit. Rise should probably make a custom cut of their sweat shirt for their super star, because on Jeff the shoulder stick up like sinister pauldrons.
There are things I liked too. I think the cinematography and set design was mostly great, with interesting lighting, capable camera work, good workout shots, interesting sets with good variety, minus the fires. Jeff is, as always, delivering a perfect performance, doing the right things at the right speed and saying the right things with the right speed and tone. Some of the music choice (the train comes to mind) complemented the content and is closer to Jeff's normal signature style, which needs no improvement. The decision to use muted colors with red accents in Jeff's design language is a good one. OTSS is a great motto that benefits by generally being true.
You are a huge inspiration for so many people. And being as vulnerable as you are in this video just amplifies that! I have nothing but respect for you! Thank you for everything you do!
The production quality for this documentary was insane, props to everyone who was a part in creating this.
It is because of you and those like you that I know how to help myself. Thank you
Incredible video Jeff! Wishing you all the best with the launch of your clothing line!
I totally relate to your back injury as I got 2 herniated discs in my lumbar spine from heavy squats over 500 lbs many years back, which was a life changing injury. Between that & a dangerous congenital heart defect I discovered I was born with shortly after that injury, I didn’t let either defeat me, but instead I found ways to safely circumvent those issues & keep going with my training in modified ways that still worked for me. My training is now hypertrophy focused, & I’m at peace with my strength loss in many areas, as staying healthy, injury free, & alive matters most.
Jeff man, I wanted to say that you have changed my life. You have motivated me to work harder than anything i’ve ever imagined before just to be a powerlifter and it has made it a part of my identity because of you man
This just turns not so smoothly into an ad at 9:23
Jeff, this is what the journey of life is all about. I loved getting a glimpse into your background and motivations. Your content has always been top notch, but the weaving of comedy, intellect, perseverance and authenticity is what I admire most. You and Stephanie have always kept it real and never shy away from vulnerability. It goes without saying that you motivate and inspire many. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do. Much love to you and yours.
Love this bro. Wondering - Have you ever thought about making a video looking at the relationship between nutrition and mental health? I don’t know if that’d be outside the scope of what you cover on this channel, but I think a lot of people would be interested to hear your take on it. Definitely the kind of thing most people are pushing an agenda on lol. Keep crushing it💪
Jeff, you are an amazing person and an even better professional bodybuilder/powerlifter who has bought motivation and inspiration to countless people who did not know where to start in the gym. You are the epitome of Only the Strong Survive, no matter how hard the obstacles or challenges you were persistent and able to over come them. You have fans from everywhere who will support you no matter what. Please continue to do what you are good at.
You are an inspiration. This is what I needed to never give up and keep trying to achieve my dream.
The effort put into this video is insane!
this is why he is one of the GOATS. been watching for a while, will continue to keep watching for a long while
This is so well composed! All the shots and edits go hard a hell! This man changed the way I train for the better, he deserves all the support and love he gets!

I've only discovered you recently man but honestly, your knowledge and journey inspires me and I really feel that obsession starting to grow the same as you. My weight loss journey has totally evolved beyond that into a passion for fitness. I asked myself, "right, I lost the weight. Dropped 123kg to 82kg in 6 months. What do I do next?" And you help me see clearly that I've got so much left to do, man. It doesn't end here and it doesn't ever have to end. It's my life now. Now working on my strength hardcore. Thanks for all you do mate, truly an inspirational guy.
Hey Jeff,
I know that it is very unlikely that you are going to read this but I want to thank you for the endless high quality content you enrich my training life with. Thanks to you I got so much stronger and bigger while even reducing training time.
Second of all I wanted to ask you if you are still coaching people. If yes it would be an honor if you could coach me for my first contest prep. I still need to get green lights from my doctors due to various medical conditions such as a cardiovascular disease. But if my doctors tell me that Im going to be allowed to compete Id love to have you by my side as a coach.
Thanks for reading this
Have a great day
I literally have found myself in the exact same predicament as you my friend. Was always short athletic lean, played basketball with a passion (like AI and Nate Rob)
Now getting older in my late 20’s putting that flame of passion into lifting and getting more muscle weight but also focusing on strength and I ALSO have a back injury(degenerative disc from a life of construction).
Loved this inspirational monologue and can’t wait to join your Rise! 💪🏽 💪🏽 💪🏽
Jeff, thanks for putting your story out there. I really think I speak for a lot of your subscribers when I say you’ve truly made a difference and an impact in thousands of people’s lives.
I rarely comment on videos but I wanted to write here and say well done and thank you for this. The only final destination is death, everything else is process and process is about doing the things that need doing day in day out and I respect that tremendously. You had me at AI was your fave lol ABSOLUTE LEGEND! And as a movement and science nerd I have appreciated your videos for ages. Thank you for what you do and congratulations on the clothing line 😊 - just a fellow vertically challenged Canadian girl tryna speak science and lift heavy things and trying to make a little ripple in a very very big pond. Peace!
You are such an incredible inspiration. The amount of effort and research you put into every single video you upload is so impressive. You are my favorite fitness influencer and easily the one that I trust the most.
Jeff you're a inspiration and I for one am super greateful for the content you put out for free. Thank you very much for everything. Cheers
I've been with you since the IceCreamforPRs days. It's been a pleasure watching your journey and seeing you succeed.
Ok, this is clearly a 15 minute ad - but honestly: I don't even mind.
You've provided us with years of free high-quality educational content and I'm happy to support that!!
Great story, dope production! I just put in an order.
All the best for your future, man!
Jeff, as someone who dealt with a spinal fusion surgery early in my weightlifting career and similar insecurities regarding strength as a result, you are an inspiration to me. In coming into my own in the realm of weightlifting (I’m a university student pursuing an education in exercise science), you have defined the center of my training philosophy and who I am - a student of the science. Thank you. Keep inspiring and keep pushing. OTSS 🙏
Dude this was awesome! I felt the same way about Allen Iverson. In school I was always one of the shortest dudes. As someone who's only 5'7" when I found your channel I felt inspired seeing someone who was also vertically challenged 😂 as myself become a beast in the gym which I've been trying to do.
Stop making a fool of yourself
5'7 isnt challenged, it's a sliver off average. Jeff's like 5'2. By the way, Iverson is 6'0
I loved this video respect Jeff! As a 5'8 guy I hope one day I'm as strong and big as you OTSS!
Would love to see a video on science-based vertical jump training!
I literally owe you the best change of my life,
grateful to have you on RUclips Jeff
A Masterpiece ❤🔥
Not a documentary. This is an ad, nothing more!
*Оnly hard work! Thank you for inspiration Jeff. After watching you for 2 years I started my own fitness channel. And this is my real passion now. Hope one day I will help people like u bro*
A big thank you from Papua New Guinea! You have done so much for me and so many others across the globe.
Bruh, this is the pumpin' iron of clothing adverts💪💯
Srsly though, Jeff motivates so many and this video is all too relatable, even outside of lifting weights
I recently started with your PPL 1 and 2 and after every workout I was flabbergasted I was feeling every muscle torn apart a feeling that I never have before my mind muscle connection is also drastically improved I love it keep going this channel is far by the best here on youtube
First! Let's goooo
Where?
I am a begineer.... This video filled me with lot of confidence... And also the TRUTH...... ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVE
Such a sick video brother! You have completely transformed the way I view training from day one of starting, 4 years ago. Not only do I own many things from rise, but I run your programs day in and day out and you influence a lot of people to be the best versions of themselves. After recently recovering from a back injury that had me out for about a month. Just ordered a black hoodie from your signature line, as a statement for a new era. Only the strong survive 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hey Jeff, thanks for sharing your story with us! I have followed you over the years and love your science based approach to strength and fitness. I had serious surgery on my back this week and thankfully it went well and no complications... I can't wait to recover and build up my strength! 💪 Only the strong SURVIVE! Thank you for your message and motivation!
How did the video go from talking about your injury to a clothing line in 5 seconds ? makes no sense
Honestly Jeff you have helped me get through some pretty discouraging phases in my short gym career, knowledge is wealth and you have definitely been lining our pockets with knowledge. I commend and appreciate all that you do. Keep up the good work my man!
U deserve all the respect and love❤️
Appreciate all the solid, science based info you provide in a clear and simple manner. Watch and follow all you put out there, you are by far the best source! Thanks for all you do!
I expect all your videos to be this quality from now on Jeff. Do not disappoint me
Jeff, you are amazing. been around for a couple of years now and you've influenced my knowledge, outlook and workout approach greatly. I am forever grateful for the time and energy you share on this platform. and for you being you, never stopped believing in yourself. LETSGOOOO
This is a very amazing and superb video bro telling about yourself and keep it up and keep training hard and be positive and happy always but never give up on your dreams and take care of yourself
Running your upper lower, and full body program since last year. Although I’ve gone to the extremes in shredding to now bulking, your program has been my anchor. I am so thankful to have these type of movements, the flow day to day and the ways I’ve gained all around strength and balance. Big Up Jeff ! Looking forward to getting all your programs as they become relevant to my journey.
I found your channel about a month ago and was so impressed with everything about your videos. I purchased your Powerbuilding 1.0 program (the only program I have ever bought after 10 years of on and off again working out) and have already noticed great progress and results 5 weeks in. you encourage the hell out of me and can't wait to use your help to get where I want to be!
So inspiring. 🫶🏽 Dealing with my back injury for 19 months & I thought I’m done lifting… this makes me so hopeful 🤍 Thank You J 🥝
After a long soccer referee career, also played, few broken ankles and chin, i had to stop. I never liked gym, always felt like a lab rat running in it's wheel. After my ankle surgery in 2017, i got my CPAP (yeah, have sleep apnea) and then started gym. First with a coach and i've found you on youtube. I'm a scientific guy so your explaination are satisfying to me. Since then, i now train 5 days a week and i'm in a shape like never before. I've never thought that i'd put few thousand dollars in a home gym before... I've also got one of your programs, the full body every day. Nice approach and can't wait to start it. I'm finishing an other program now and i'll make sure to give it a try. Keep your good work (from an other canadian).
When you see these big dudes in the gym always remember that they started on the same level as you . Continue seeking your ambitions and you will achieve them !
@Super Mario ??? he never said you'll get that big naturally, he just said they started like you did. Learn to read properly.
If there's one thing I think anyone can say about Jeff, something that truly encapsulates him as a content creator, bodybuilder, and man...
It's that he seems like the type of guy who can do 10 push-ups. Maybe more.
