- If you want to build a bigger chest then you'll want to use a chest workout that checks all the boxes and delivers the pec gains that you're pursuing. In this video, Jesse from ATHLEAN-X takes me through his chest workout at his gym. For years, these two have been building Jesse up from within the walls of the ATHLEAN X Box. Now, he’s fully grown and ready to roam. See as he takes Jeff Cavaliere through his very own chest workout using machines, dumbbells and even chains.

This workout for chest starts with the classic dumbbell bench press. After a couple brief warmup sets, the two set out to perform 4 sets for this basic chest building exercise. The first two sets are for 10-12 reps and the last two are heavier, with the goal being 4-5 reps. That is, until Jesse changes the script and makes the last set an AMRAP. Throw a little extra incentive in to the winner and we have the makings of a little bench press competition to raise the stakes even higher.
From here, the two move onto the classic pec deck chest fly. Typically, this is an exercise that Jeff doesn’t like. That said, it is much preferred to the unsupported dumbbell chest fly that is performed while laying on a flat bench. The pec deck allows for a safer bottom point, and therefore safer shoulders, than the flat bench dumbbell fly does.
One of the tips that Jeff shares is that you can rotate your body towards the arm you’re grabbing to make sure that you don’t put any added stress on the anterior shoulder capsule even just getting into the machine. 3 sets of 12-15 reps is what was done to train the adduction of the function of the pecs.
From there, we moved onto the cable crossover exercise. This is one of my favorite ways to train chest adduction. By doing this one arm at a time you are able to get a better, more focused contraction on each side and help alleviate any muscle imbalances that may exist. The goal here as always is to keep the chest out in front of the shoulder as you bring the arm across.
If you lead with your shoulder you will shift too much of the load onto the delts and away from the chest. This is one of the most common chest workout mistakes people make. It takes away a lot of the chest growth that you can achieve by doing a workout for chest. 2-3 sets of each arm for this chest crossover exercise is the next step in this chest workout.
Next, we hit the incline hammer press machine. This is actually a good machine that really helps people to engage their upper chest more effectively. The reason is, that the bench press angle is set to a proper 30 degrees to better engage the upper clavicular fibers better. Also, the machine locking you into the bar path of up and in allows you to really engage the up and in function of the upper pecs. The two load the machine up for 2 sets before moving onto what Jesse calls the “curveball” of the workout.
Here, they break out the chains. A chest dip alone is not enough to finish this chest workout strong. Instead, they do a chest dip chain finisher. Starting with two chains around their neck, they do a set to failure then immediately strip away one chain and do another set to failure. Not quite done however since they take away the final chain and then do a final bodyweight set to failure as the last part of this triple giant set.
When you’re in the gym and are looking for a great gym chest workout you have lots of options. Here, you now have an example of a great workout for pecs that can be done with just dumbbells, machines and a few optional chains. Remember, it’s important to perform your sets with an intensity level that challenges you. If you’re looking to build bigger pecs you have to force them to grow. This comes from choosing chest exercises and workouts that challenge them from every angle and every function.

It's great to see how well Jesse really built himself up over the years!
Agreed, the difference is amazing.
Naturally, I believe, which is more impressive.
Facts he looks great
@@terreausore2435 been following him since he started years ago. His gains were very gradual over the years. There was never a spike in muscularity or strength. As a matter of fact, even his newbie gains were slower than the average gym goer due to his neurological condition. So no, there are no special “compliments” on the market.
Hell yea, he’s put some tissue on
Love how Jeff is still constantly in his education mode, watching out for all the little ways to improve form. Still the best channel I've followed.
Appreciate you Daryl!
Actually really cool to see Jeff training in someone else’s gym. Make this a series!
Haha
I agree
Should train with someone like Brian Shaw - would be cool to see what he thinks of Strongman exercises. Though Brian will probably build two more "home gyms" before that happens...
It makes me so happy to see jessee being such a beast! Way to go champ!
It’s well deserved and his story is amazing. He used to be really skinny and hard work and motivation got him to where he is now. Proof that anyone can overcome being skinny if they put in the work
@@NewHaven203 He used to eat all those jelly beans (or something like that) haha
Hey hey! Me too!
Am the only thinking Jesee can do better? I mean he's been working out with Jeff for years he was supposed to be better than that.
@@marcusjr2246 He has a 500 lb deadlift...
Congratulations, Jesse! Great to see your success and how far you've come over the years. Keep it up, Brother. You're an inspiration.
What a legend
he is a big inspiration for me. been watching his progress for years now, since I was only dreaming of building a gym habit (head/neck injury, chronic condition, sedentary, severe anxiety). Starting to make some real progress of my own, and when the doubt creeps in and I think, "it's too little, too late", I always think of Jesse.
To the team at Athlean X... this was an amazing and fresh video to watch from you guys. Loved this video, and its great seeing you both outside of the gym after a while! Look forward to next weeks vid forreal
Facts
"One of the tips that Jeff shares is that you can rotate your body towards the arm you’re grabbing to make sure that you don’t put any added stress on the anterior shoulder capsule even just getting into the machine." - I'm going to save this in my collection of golden advices
I’m surprised Jessie didn’t know that, as that’s basic knowledge, or at least so I thought. For me, I also like to hold it for 1-second at the closed hands part of the movement.
@@Spud_E_Buddy yeah, I thought that it was pretty common knowledge or at least common sense too.
I'm not sure why that is necessary since the machine has a ROM adjustment.
@@thebiomechanist4995 because the arms are placed back farther in order to get the stretch during the actual movement while maintaining tension. It's just getting to the start position its safer to do like Jeff does.
@@dattran6372 So you want the stretch during the motion, but not at the start? And the stretch is safe during the motion, but higher risk during the start?
8:40 I like how jeff still instinctively teaches Jesse throughout the workouts even though he's his client 😂
6:02 as well 🤙
🤣🤣🤣
He cant help seeing improper form. I do the same shit, when I let my friends lead
9:06 too just goes to show almighty father jeff has no bounds when it comes to working out
u know ur a good trainer when you train your trainer as the client
This is the most wholesome Athlean-X video to date. So happy for the relationship Jeff and Jesse have built. So proud of both!
True
Love the video and the fact you mixed this up a little while also highlighting Jesse’s growth.
What a cool idea. I’d love to see more vids like this! Edit: leg day next!
but, but, EVERYDAY is international chest day....
dont forget calves!!!!!
I loved how Jeff is in a teaching mode all the way smiling and Jesse is listening to him, respectfully and being competitive too. Wow what a great partnership. And amazing progress by Jesse.

Is it pointless to train, sweat, and rest if you are struggling financially and can't afford to eat adequately or healthily?
How should I get Van Damme flexibility without compromising my squats
Hey Jeff, my question is, is Jesse a virgin?
I need help eating healthy on a budget!
Hi Jeff what are the most common reasons to watch out for when one is plateauing in lifts?
Man, I remember when Jessie was just a skinny, little stray cat! THis proves what consistency can do for you... and Jeff's tutelage, of course.
Jeff hired Jessy to hold the excess gains he didn't need
@@ManOfSauce 🤣🤣
@@ManOfSauce Excess gains are killing your gains
@@estebanibanez212 giving your gains to a buddy is KILLING your gains!
@@estebanibanez212 LOL
Man I miss these days ... young and hitting the gym whenever I want... Jesse you came a long way brother... a testimony to your drive to be better.... and the knowledge of your tutor... very inspiring the both of you
Loved the switch up from the general advice videos! Would be awesome to turn this into a series where you train with Jesse on his split schedule. I hope the leg day gets recorded and posted
Because of you, I have learned so much and i can confidently go to the gym now consistently! I just wanted to personally thank you 🙏
Honestly I can tell everyone watching is so proud of Jesse, especially Jeff, you can see it in his eyes.
Almost bringing a tear, love you guys ❤️
Chest has always been amongst my weakest workouts, but looking at this gives me incentive that if I am to try and up my weight and aim for strength, it's not always about the reps. It's about the effort you put in. This has been awesome! I changed my program recently to try and aim for 2-4 reps per set on the bench, with the intention of upping the weight. I think it is also important to consider hypertrophy (sometimes I do that on the incline dumbbell bench press and cable flies/crossovers).
you achieve hypertrophy with heavy weight too what i recommend warm up start heavy then go low. What i do personally is go up in weight with 3 sets then back down in weight 3 sets. You can switch grips if you want so that way you hit wide and inside for more chest pump. The main point is getting as close to failure as possible the closer you get the more you gain from it but with all things stay safe.
You gotta love Jesse man. What a great vid! I’ve got a question for you guys while I'm here… Have you ever used these AI driven meal plan tools? I just used one called Next Level Diet and I put in my goals then it spit out meal plans that are actually pretty good.
Good ad
Scam as fuck man...
Next Level Scam
I can’t even lie. Jesse is a beast. I remember watching him from the beginning. You trained him and he’s about to surpass you soon. Much respect to both of you but damn Jesse take easy on Jeff lol.
Jesse is where he is thanks to all the teaching from Jeff dont you think? Jeff has to learn all from scratch and sadly he made mistakes as he sometimes addressed.
No one will surpass Jeff and all his teachings to avoid injuries.
He can deadlift more than Jeff. Jeff may be stronger in other lifts, but Jesse now is probably in the same ballpark as Jeff in terms of how good of an athlete he is.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on this channel, and Jesse’s transformation/progress has been incredible. Well done 👏 👏 👏
Man what a treat to have the man the myth the legend working out at your gym. Looking good guys!
Ive been doing your 7 min ab workout vids and everytime I marvel at the endurance Jeff has!! Thanks Jeff you are a beast!
I've watched that video like 3 times and haven't done it yet D: My core is the worst and I'm intimidated, but I'm going to try it soon, I swear it. Maybe I'll get my trainer to watch the video and walk me through it.
I used to be maybe as strong as Jeff when I started watching Jeff in 2010. Now I’m 5 years out of PT school with 12 more years of training time in the gym and I can say I’m much stronger now. Thanks for all the tips and advice through the years. I hope whatever’s bothering your elbow heals up.
Please More of these kind of videos with you two working out this was really wholesome :O
Starting week 4 of AX-1 I was already doing a full body circuit didn’t matter you guys are kicking my butt. Thanks for the video and motivation
Jeff is a giver who led so many people to unexpected success.
Now even his cameraman became a real beast!
Great video like always Jeff! Your vids help me a lot with past injuries and prevent future onse
How does the different strength (high intensity, low rep) approaches compare to each other? I'm thinking of 3x5, 5x5, 1RM and "reverse drop-sets" (i.e. increasing weight while reducing reps to finish with a single heavy set with failure between 1 and 5 reps).
In general, I would love to see more videos covering the science behind different training modalities, how they affect different goals and how they overlap, complement or interfere with each other.
Sounds excessive, but individual preferences are a thing. Try it out for yourself, experiment. It might work for you, might not for the majority.
Also, if you're still an amateur. Just do 3 sets of 12, *with a weight that takes you to failure on 12*. Your muscles will still grow, only do things like this when you're a pro and the conventional method is no longer enough.
This is from the knowledge I've gained from my experience. I'm not a trainer so you do you
Check out other Jeff (Nippard) for some of that stuff.
@@adambaxter7380 agreed Jeff Nippard covers this quite well
Mike Israetel on Renaissance Periodization is also a great source.
Why isn’t everyone else at the gym freaking out about Jeff being there?!
I would be like “If hang from the pulley, could you face-pull my weight?”
I mean the gym is empty 👀
They went home after seeing him 😂
@@AkhilStark267 haha they're afraid to get lectured by Jeff when he sees their improper forms XD
Cameras are going, it would be obnoxious...
Q for the fast action Q&A: As an engineer I love your science based approach to fitness. What are some good resources for learning more about the underlying science of the body in relation to working out? Ideally looking for books but anything such as textbooks, lectures, or courses would be great!
Lol, I knew he was going to say something about that fly machine, "I'm gonna protect myself..."
Gotta love a man who practices what he preaches.
Using AX-1, I sometimes find myself wondering if I'm truly at my point of failure for each exercise, and seeing this video helped give me better perspective. Can you and Jeff make a video demonstrating what your failure points look like for some other exercises?
I think he mentions it during the video. 'Form failure' is a pretty good indicator
If you have any of the TNT modules you can actually watch as he goes to failure in those exercises.
Form failure or significantly longer concentric portion of the lift is when you should stop
It's individual and you won't have a clue by watching his face or whatever. Wanna know if you're close to failure? Ask for a spot and go do an AMQRAP set on the exercise you want to know. You go to failure and you'll know how it feels from now on.
Bro... if you have to ask that probably means you aren't. Go till ya can't go no mo(while still actually doing it)
More of these! 👏🏽💪🏽 great to see all the techniques and advice being applied and flowing throughout a full workout!
When i see jeff doing reps, i can feel it in my body like I'm struggling
Lightweight
Ain’t nothing but a peanut. Get strong and lift that fuckin weight 💪
I really like the twist and see what Jessie does since he knows what you have been teaching for a while. I like his workout routine! I would like to see what he does for back and arms
"FAST ACTION" Q&A* - Jeff, what is your opinion on Blood Flow Restriction Training being used to enhance a workout? I've heard about the benefits of using it to help recovery from an injury, but I also know that it is becoming popular to help enhance a regular workout. I'm a boxer, and I've read that BFR is very useful for combat athletes since it focuses on the fast twitch muscle fibres, whilst allowing an athlete to build strength and hypertrophy with lighter weights.
Is BFR training something that you would advocate or not? Thanks.
Jesse, is great to see your progress!! Determination, consistency=results. Inspiring to all of us following the channel over the years
Jeff, please do more exercised Ranked from Best to Worst Videos. I rely on those big time and think that more videos are needed for Upper Back, Lower Back, Quads, Hamstrings, and Calves.
I just love watching these guys work...truly inspiring. They teach proper form and how to do sets correctly..
I like how Jeff's still on mentoring mode to Jesse after all these years
Lol
This was so heartwarming to watch. After all these years, the healthy competition here, but also that you both cheer each other on still and want to help the other become better. You can see how proud Jeff is of Jesse. I love this!
Just started working out consistently about 2 weeks ago and I can honestly say I feel a lot better
keep it up! dont judge yourself if you miss a day or whatever. fitness is a lifelong journey. do what you can
Now imagine how you'll feel in 2 months.. then imagine 2 years of consistent work. Keep at it dude!
I hope you still at it bro. Update?
Loved that little tip on the machine flys. I am a nursing a litte bit of an injury in my front delt on my left shoulder and that tip will help immensely as I rehab the deltoid back to 100%. As usual, you are a legend Jeff..
Hey Jeff! This was a great video idea. I really enjoyed it, and appreciate all of your top notch consistent content.
Question for you if you have a moment:
When working shoulders and doing side lateral raises in particularly; (I've been following your tips of getting my thumbs up at the top, externally rotating, and NOT pouring the pitchers) my shoulders seem to click a lot. It doesn't feel like the joint is moving through it's range of motion smoothly. It's not a feeling that's painful, but it makes me worried that I could be causing damage and makes me cautious to bump up in weight. What's the best way for me to address this?
A great way to eliminate shoulder and rotator cuff tightness and injury is to perfom side lateral raises while laying down on a bench. By laying and using a resistance pully machine that is equipped with separate handles, you can safely focus on your deltoids while taking your traps out of the picture. Your traps can often take over a lot while performing standing lateral raises. Try to keep your chest perked up and lats tucked back while doing this exercise to emphasize more deltoid activation. Hope that provides some input, Stuart. Best.
It could be the tendons of the rotator cuff getting in the way of the fluid movement of the shoulder for not being properly contracted. I had some pops during lateral and frontal raises. After adjusting the movement and getting stronger with the muscles these pops disapear. There were some vids in the channel about getting theses muscles stronger, I would recomend checking out
@@edmediciN7 Can you please give me the links of those videos. Thanks!
Hey Stuart! Try externally rotating your arms earlier in the lift. Don't wait until you get towards the top. Start with your thumbs pointed up from the early part of the lift and see if that doesn't alleviate some of the clicking that you're getting. Check back in to let me know how it worked for you!
@@athleanx Thank you so much for your response! That sounds like a great idea. I'm testing it out right here on my chair at work and even without weights I already feel a difference! I will check back in when I next hit Shoulders on the Monster Maker program! Thanks Again :D
Don't comment often on these videos but I would love to see more of these! Especially with Jesse doing Jeff's workouts
Jesse: *Takes chains around his neck for "chest-dips"
Jeff: I mean, you look cool though, right..
xD
I like the regular videos, but this concept is also pretty dope. We get to see how Jesse works out and also get to know if he (and we) has learned correctly. Plus, we also get to see how Jeff works out in a gym instead of pre-planned exercises/weight. Looking forward to more videos like this!
These two are the best. Jesse became a strong man and Jeff's smile remained true!
"The evolution of Jesse" I feel an E-book or something Jessie!! For us hard gainers man... come on! We're waiting! 💪🏾

My favorite!
Man been following for years but gotta say one of the best videos I’ve seen on this channel. Get to see a “behind the scenes” style training..
Jeff, please do a video on proper sitting posture
Thank you!
I love to see a full, complete work out from these guys! Good content!
This is great! Refreshing content and would love to see more like these!
All of your videos are great but this one is definitely one of the coolest. Videos like this are motivating.
Haven’t watched this channel in so long
WOW!! Jesse's body has unbelievably transformed!! Nice work!!
Why doesn't Jesse work out at the athlean x gym? He already works there so wouldn't that be more convenient?
Hi Jeff! I (31m from UK) have a question. I’ve been slowly gaining a dad bod, and have never really taken to physical activity. I’m 180cm and started at 181lb, you could call me skinny fat.
So last month I decided it was time to get fit, become lean, have a defined muscle structure and reduce my body fat %.
So for a month now my calorie deficit every day has been -500. I’m in my home gym every day which consists of a day of full upper body using your recommended routines, and on the days in between I do 30 minutes on the stationary bike. After each session I train my core for 10 minutes or so using a floor mat and power station.
My weight as of this morning was 165lb dead.
I’ve recently started using body fat scales and whilst my body fat % in the last week or so has gone down around 0.8%, according to the scales I’ve also lost 1.5lb of muscle mass.
My nutrition is guided by MyFitnessPal, I consume around 160g of protein a day and pretty much hit all of my recommended targets for everything else except fibre (which I’m working on).
My question is, are these scales giving me false information about my muscle mass or am I genuinely losing it do you think? I was to get down to a lean level of body fat before I increase my calorie intake.
When I look in the mirror or down at my body, I can see it’s changing and I see that my muscles are gaining more tone pretty much everywhere. My endurance in my home gym is also noticeably increasing almost every lifting session. Am I really losing muscle mass?
For the record, I am actually enjoying all aspects of this, and when it comes to my nutrition I am not finding it to be a struggle at all really.
Thanks for your guidance, I will continue to watch 😄
I’ve been here since before Jesse came in the picture, from when he was just the editor in the background eating gummybears, so this is super wholesome to see🙏🏼
Keep it up, we’re all gonna make it brahs
One of your best videos yet. And I’ve been watching since 1 million suscribers. Really appreciate you Mr. Jeff and Mr. Jesse💪🏽
Wow
The student becomes the master! Amazing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow! Jesse looks great! He has come a long way.
This is truly heartwarming to watch. Jeff is the master and Jesse is truly an inspiration to us skinny guys who thought they could never bulk up.
Also I was like "man, that was a pretty hard chest workout they just did" when I thought it was over... and then they busted out the big ass chains
TODAY IS MY FIRST DAY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS!!
I unfortunately did not make the 2 hour deadline but I found your most recent video in hopes of having a question answered.
I was in a car accident a few years ago that broke my femur (I have a rod and screws now)
It set me back a few years and I am at a point of (build more muscles lose fat) but I can not do heavy leg workouts (squats, mountain climbers, etc) what would you recommend for higher cardio.
Thank you so much if you get a chance to read this!!!!
You’re getting there Jesse, I just love how the teacher always out does the student 😂😂😂 even though Jesse has come a long long way. Good job Jeff.👍
Man it is so cool to see how far has jesse come, from a skinny guy eho did lacrosse in college to this, amazing and good job. Truly inspiring
If you didn't warm up doing 50s & 60s for 10-15 reps & you used the tempo you had had for the 85s & 95s I think you two would've been pressing 90s & 100s for 6-10 clean reps
I’m sure they can… however you would never want to do that cold, hence why they warmed up, as should everybody.
@@rubeng9329 I'm not calling out the act of warming up itself... I'm saying they warmed up too heavy. You do 10-15 when you're benching the bar or starting with a set of 15-20 lb dumbbells. They should've only needed to do maybe 5 reps of the 50s & 3 of the 60s. Then pick up the 70s for just 1-2 so your body isn't completely thrown off going from 60s to 90s+
@@speedymcmuffinstuffins760 everybody warms up different. You can’t really tell someone how to warm up. I’m sure they warmed up to how they saw fit.
@@rubeng9329 Tbf, even Jeff was surprised with Jesse's choice of warm-up dumbbells
@@MrBuccaneers1 correct, but this is jesses’ routine and as stated, everybody warms up differently.
Chains on your neck pulls down your neck. Just use dumbbells with a belt. Chains are great for variable weight distribution
The bicep working is what we're all wanting next 💪
Facts bro
Jeff pressed 2*95 like a boss, just a couple days ago I saw @JONNI SHREVE video where he said "Jeff lifts fake weights".
Is hitting a muscle group twice a week but with different goals beneficial? For example, chest/back on a Monday for 12-15 reps and then again on Thursday for 5-6 reps? I have been trying to find ways to "shock" the muscle groups. I have noticed nice strength gains along with better muscle growth but curious your opinion on this.
Hitting a muscle group twice a week is beneficial whether you do the same thing, different rep ranges, or even different exercises.
Training in multiple rep ranges isn’t going to “shock” the muscle, but you will build up better strength in the lower rep range, which might help you progress
Yes that's called daily undulating periodization
Great video ! So impressed with the change in Jesse. Good job Jeff !
Bringing up the past a bit here, but, did Jesse ever manage to overcome his anterior pelvic tilt? And if so can you do an updated video on everything he did to overcome it? I'm having a nightmare with mine atm which is only progressively getting worse whilst having to rock my son to sleep each night, so looking for good guidance on how to correct it the moment I can get him sleeping in his own room
Hi Ben, I’ve struggled most of my life with anterior pelvic tilt. And what I found has helped me the most are good ole deadlights with strict and proper form. Idk why, but i think it strengthens the muscles that are weak that cause ATP and fixes them. You could give it a try and over time and consistency, i think you should see results. Cheers
I loved this! Super interesting to see Jeff in a different environment doing someone else’s workout and bossing it! 💪🏼
QUESTION:
If you’ve worked out your upper body on & off for 4 decades since the age of 13, but you rarely worked out your legs, will the muscle memory also apply to your legs as well? I just started working out again for the first time in 15 years and I’ve finally decided to also work out legs. I’m definitely enjoying muscle memory in my upper body but it also seems to be applying to my legs as well which is kind of surprising.
Well....since the legs have been stimulated less. They should actually grow faster. Not really muscle memory.
That isn’t muscle memory, it’s called newbie gains if you didn’t ever train them much.
As long as you did some compound movements - especially deadlifts - you did have your legs being trained. Therefore a certain degree of muscle memory is thinkable. It’s fascinating tough how long muscles remember being trained
@@Ab-ye8wp
I also wonder if everyone has more natural muscle memory in their legs since we walk on them everyday. Also the fact that our legs bear the rest of our body weight every day. -But yeah, compound movements. Never really thought of that. All the years of labor & construction, I guess I was also using my legs to some degree which I hadn’t really thought of before.
I heard " Last set best set" from Steve Cook years ago. not sure if he started it or not
That was awesome! You guys killed it!
These are great. I like seeing what Jeff and Jesse actually work out with (amount of weight). Was expecting Jeff to load up with a couple more chains 😀
Looking forward to the Jesse produced AthleanX workout program this winter!
honestly one of your best videos as of yet, imo. you should do more of these, and without fast forwarding! maybe intertwine some instructive parts.
The best. Jeff is strong af! Is this the volume for a month? hahah
Im so proud of Jesse, and you Jeff are the best Master he couldve had
Love the smiles on your guys faces. Your passion really shines through in your work. Keep up the great content

Question: I find that my shoulders hurt while putting my full weight on them, as with pullups or dips. I'm still starting out and am not strong yet so could it be that I have 'bad joints' and should go easy or should I work harder to build up my shoulders first?
I had shoulder problems for years, id look into strengthening your rotator cuff and shoulders as well. Jeff has tons of videos on this.
Dips can aggravate many. Avoid if you're not suitable
Check Ron Williams YT channel. He says dips are bad and will eventually cause shoulder problems. Instead he suggests the triceps pushdown machine.
@@bjhq10 I think i believe it, dips always hurt my shoulders. I think its not a good workout for beginners at least.
AF -- There are some good tips, here. But, also, since you're just starting out, check your posture and look at Jeff's routines for improving it (nerd neck, pelvic tilt, etc.). If you're exercising intensively while you still have bad posture, your joints will often feel the brunt of it. This is why Jeff advises that beginners work on posture early, before injuring themselves. I believe that's how Jesse began with Jeff, too. He worked on Jesse's posture and made videos about it. Good luck!
Awesome. Nice one Jesse. Clip Jeff struggling on that last body weight dip. That's a rare sight
Bought my first Athlean X t-shirt after losing 84.3 lbs. (Thanks to Jeff's videos) I was honestly surprised about the quality of the shirt. Athletic fit, soft and comfy. Absolutely no regrets. Money well spent. Thanks Jeff, i couldn't have made the progress i have made without you. 🕉🙏🏻🕉
Why add 🕉️? Are you a Hindu? Just asking
@@scorchingstarbhaskar7011 my belief system is slightly unique. Om, the essence of ultimate reality is something i resonate with very strongly. However i do not follow one set religion or another. I meditate, study, and care for my vessel. I make a solid effort to always advance my body, mind, and spirit. Hope that answers your question. 😁
@@J.D.Mc. I understand. I'm a Hindu myself, hence I felt like asking 🙏🏽🙏🏽. Thank you for the elaboration 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕉️
@@scorchingstarbhaskar7011 your most welcome. I wish you well. Namaste. 🕉🙏🏻🕉

Just a little tip for the future turn the music Lower. It gets annoying iver time when its that hardcore
Im on double chain dips now too...good effort Jeff
How to maintain rather than progress?
This is a question for myself in years to come. I've been training for 5 or so years, I believe within the next 5-10 years, I'll reach a point where I won't really value the risk to reward ratio of increasing strength and will want to maintain what I've built. How do you in a nutshell program this? I believe many would be at this point in their life and would benefit from hearing the answer.
To progress optimally, it's the whole 10-20 sets/week/muscle group, train rpe 8-10, frequency 2+/week.
How would you maintain optimally? As in efficiently, least time invested into maintenance.
My best guess would be 4-6 working sets/week/muscle group at an rpe 8-9, frequency at around 1-2?
So like a fat one or two whole body sessions/week where you just hit the same weights and drop the progressive overload?
PS, I've been a super long time viewer and you were who made me understand how to train safely and effectively! I don't watch much now days as I have my foundation. I hope you read this and a big fat thank you!
This is awesome. I'd love to see more content of you guys actually doing workouts.
Jesse out here beasting hard. Keep it up man, you're an inspiration to all fellow hard gaining brothers out here.
Training in another gym to avoid the "fake weights " allegations! Best response to haters and great video keep it up !!
Great concept, loved the video!!
Good to see you training Jeff and showing the youngens what time it is. Please do more like this.
I do the same thing opening my hands on the flys. Feels like i can get more focas on the pecs. Glad I'm not the only one who does this.
