[bgrqpa]

I am Bulgarian and I am proud ! 4:02

[sushilphule]

plz when u upload video then end of title specifies month & year.

[siikais5]

looks very hard >?

[vlogsnstuff19956]

sorry jeff i have been a fan of your work up on till this video.

u can not compare a DB row to a pullup because obviously a pullup is the no 1 exercise for back.

u can not compare a leg extension to a squat because obviously a squat is king. you should have compared squat to squat.

and a DB bench press is far superior to a pushup!!!

sorry jeff not buying it

[MegaBellezas]

please i need some exercise of legs and ripper,thanks.

[SuperBigD19]

Body weight is great but I prefer to move metal.

[ads7795679]

what is the name of the song in the background?

[HellYeahImDT]

I feel like a combination of a traditional style athletic workout split would be a must with these workouts (chest tris, back bis, legs, shoulders). You can't really just replace power lifts with body weight exercises. Not saying it won't work just saying you would increase your results.

[liamlloyd77]

LOL 100,000+ views in one week after the new year

All his other vids have like 20,000 in one month LOL Quitters smh

[pierrzmalaka]

only the pull up was effective .. the rest is just damage to the joints ... and i liked ur videos before cuz they dont damage anything and about correct movements

[OfficiaLazyEyeVision]

good videos yo!!

[russian177]

I can see people really fucking themselves up with that one where you jump on the bench lol that's my prediction

[Lordgout]

Can you do the pushups with pushup bars? I'm thinking of purchasing the rotating ones and wondered if its still possible to do them?

[TheHOG101]

I would really like a Bradley cooper workout or the rocks workout

[OnlySS]

I started the Athlean-X program, I am wanting to see more shoulder and trap workouts JDCav24, to give that wider look. Thanks, awesome program.

[TheMyMilek]

@OnlySS Both exercises in this video. Pull-up + jeff's push-ups.

[daxpwn]

need a taller ceiling? hahah

[therealk1d]

What do you prefer, full body workout? Or single muscle workouts?

[goten088]

Joint pain Joint pain Joint pain JOINT PAIN joint Pain jOiNt pAin

[isrraelmendoza92]

Thanks JDCav although I have not yet purchased your system I have consistently followed you on youtube. For 2012 I think I'm sold and will purchase your system because I truly feel that your workouts help for my training with the USMC.

[vinrod34]

keep the hard core music, love it and great workouts

[stillhuman108]

Here's my prediction, Squat deadlift and bench press..... Rex Park style.

[AndromedaIX]

the leg extensions helped me to kick harder for MMA

[NereydaBird]

Your funny if you think I'm gonna do a pull up

[MissesIsAMR]

Hey there ceiling im so close to you!

[TheVirginGamer]

Jeff, i just want to thank you so so much for this program. before doing this i had lost 140 pounds on my own and gained plenty of muscle along the way in the time of just 2 years. but i was just sitting like a duck with my workouts. now that i have started doing your program i have seen major improvements with my abs. i can see them a lot more and my chest is getting my cut along with my shoulders. Jeff, you are quickly becoming a big fan of mine. keep everything up bro. -Nick

[RicRagsLive]

here in MTL at epicentre training I have been doing athlete style training for about 7 years.

it would be nice to see some regular folks start to do this kind of training because normally the gym is full of football players rugby players fighters and strongmen. And I feel like a shrimp even though i am 250 lbs hehehe

[lordrampage]

just awesomeeeeeeeeeeee

[PWHBaseball]

Is a freshman in HS to young for athleanx

[ReydogMike]

I want to get this for my Android but I noticed you only had your program for the iphone, when are you getting it for the Android

[honestyize]

I bought your program a while ago... does it change over the years?

[AceDotCosta]

Hey man where can I get those Athlean X shoes?

[romeois21]

Jeff! I have bad knees. I played football for about 11 yrs and now have gained weight...a lot. I started working out about 3 was ago and i have to watch how hard i train with my knees. Have any suggestions? By the way the horrible hundreds are horrible. Good stuff.

[marianabz2002]

@romeois21i have the same problem bcz of handball:) modified ur workout dont do to much jumping:) and take vitamine for the joints (arthro stop or durofen vitamine for the joints or u can inject in ur knees the lubrificant is like oil to help ur knees feeling better when u do ur workouts . u have problem on ur knees bcz they dont hv oil so u need glucosamine condroitin oh and very important dont run on the trade mil bicle bcz this 2 things they do a lot damage for the knees sorry for my english

[1stphoenix2k7]

jeff man you are dead right, you do have to argue that everything you do and say here is better for building muscle, burning fat and becoming more functional ( the way god intended us to be)!

[howiemosher1980]

yeah i love watching his videos but i always skip to abou 30 sec in the intro is way to old now after hearing it so many times i cant do it anymore lol

[sl1xx]

Watch your head buddy lol

[idiotnoobbum]

ey man you wanna be careful about giving advice about workouts and shit... you might get flamed and hated by self named professor ian mccarthy aka dr faggut in the house

[nicky8866]

@idiotnoobbum jeff knows wat he's on about man,,, and he's a physio

[idiotnoobbum]

@nicky8866 i know man, and i follow his workours and videos too.. i was talking about ian mccarthy the biggest flamer on yt right now blasting nick wright, hodgetwins, scooby, luimarco and almost everyone else.

[momonwilson]

Good vid, I wish there was more basic moves..

[lilythepap]

More time lifting, less time waffling.



[acalaxbro]

At the very beginning of the video were those blue things on the shelve fat grips?

[yayitze]

ouch... my knee hurst just for watching.

not to mention my shoulders.. I can feel them already

[richardblabla]

Haha love how slurred your voice got around 7:00. lay off the whiskey while your working out eh?

But nah i cant talk either after working out, sweet vid

[xvorpsm]

STARTED WORKING OUT 11 MONTHS AGO, AND FOUND YOUR PAGE, I BEEN USING ALL THE THINGS YOU SAY IN THE GYM, ITS GREAT TO SEE MY BODY GET BETTER AND USING MORE THEN THE NORMAL MUSCLES.

[bwalter1022]

Can you make a small workout that we can do every day to build our upper body (chest/arms) ?

[dcrnisin]

what is the intro music?

[bearcubful]

The leg extension motion looks somewhat similar to kicks thrown in taekwondo where the practitioner raises their leg with knee bent and proceeds to extend the leg in a snapping motion i.e. front snap kick, and round kick). Although as a taekwondo student I think I prefer the athlean exercise for explosiveness.

[mikebeezy13]

2:45 ... ouch, ouch, ouch

[rhcp2402]

i'd say it all depends on ur goals.. if u wanna lose weight or tone up I'd think ur style would be more effective while if ur trying to put on some mass for an ectomorph, compound exercises like dumbbell bench and db rows would be more effective than bodyweight exercises (although pullups are good no matter what ur goal). incorporating both styles would probably be ideal

[bedypus]

what kind of dumbell do you use jeff?? I looks like a toaster hahaha..

[philiprweb]

@bedypus They're called powerblocks

[Bbustos1124]

Nice

[gerryottawa]

I just finished the AthleanX programme.  I saw a mention somewhere on an old posting that there's a second programme. Does it still exist? Where can I buy it? For now, I guess, I'll just restart at week 1 and incorporate some of the video exercises.

[blackiechan52]

best workouts.

[theheadbasher]

leg curls are good for soccer players. gave me a much more powerful kick,

[saha1717]

@theheadbasher I play soccer since I´m a litte kid. I always play against great competition.

And Dude .. i heard plenty of coaches say, that leg curls will mess up your speed. So it might be right what you say, but your speed will decrease.

[siddistani]

@theheadbasher I'm sure they helped with quad muscle building and thereby increasing your kick strength, but I'm a rugby winger and I kick too. There are much better exercises that simulate kicking. When you kick you use a lot of your core and hip flexors, the leg muscle contractions are far from the whole motion. Leg curls are a highly non-functional exercise. Sure, they work the quads, but that's like doing tricep extensions for boxing. You could do better.

[dooch31]

@theheadbasher ur defo an amercian.....using retard terms for football

[JFR916]

@theheadbasher training your hip flexors will help more

[natheyboi13]

@theheadbasher it helps but the majority of power comes from technique, its funny cus my brother is massive but i can kick a ball much harder

[hypnochickrunnergirl]

I love seeing you winded from those pushups! Obviously a much more difficult workout-great job on all that you have put together....I'm diggin it!

[erikglynn]

Great workout ideas, keep them coming!

[constillustrus]

you are straight legit,the majority of the exercises I found them to be the most supid as well...not effective,somehow a waste of time

[Juriarte23]

anyone know what shoes he has on?

[rakan200]

you make it seem as if old school workouts are useless when there not, im sure incorporating the new styles is very effective, however if your bulking body weight aint gonna help

[FirFenNaZ]

You have to stop putting in this extremely annoying "hardcore" music, especially if it makes all other sound impossible to hear... like talking.

[gerryottawa]

@FirFenNaZ Agree, the LOUD music is more of a nuisance than an enhancement.

[MrSmiley529]

@FirFenNaZ you can hear him just fine

[ItsChris8D]

i remember 2011 like it was yesterday..

[lazur1]

I don't understand what the problem is with doing both styles of training.

[LordSauceness]

Good reason for doing leg extensions? ..giving grandaughters rides while sitting on the couch..(^-^)

[Samm1320]

What's wrong with trying to be a bodybuilder? and old school is better. Arnold Schwarzenegger... i rest my case

[estabonism]

@Samm1320 He used steroids, your "case" no longer has any merit. Good Bye

[MaghoxFr]

@Samm1320 Not only did he used steroids but in this video nobody is saying bodybuilder is bad, he is just pointing out that there's other ways of training.

[hasula202]

leg extentions help me leg kick ( in mma)

[00000Milkshake]

leg extensions. help me in kicking for football (you call it soccer)

[QQcol]

happy new year jeff ur amazing

[50023sw]

Happy New Year Jeff!!!! Thanks for making 2011 great.

[berner]

Hey dude. I've never seen that horizontal split in the middle chest before. Looks pretty cool

[vinrod34]

tough workout, will add these 3, thanks

[vzqwomar]

Great ideas are coming to my mind seeing your exercises!! Thanks! Great job! 

[TKN7]

dont the the leg extensions strengthen the muscles around the knee to prevent injury

[Logicc77]

love this video...thank you for challenging or showing improvement to older workouts

[kratoslevit]

Snap kicks in many contact sports will use a motion like the (front knee raise? ..dunno its name).

[cancerparty]

If anyone's in any doubt about that bench press (and I was) I just tried Jeff's alternative exercise of the push up with the twist: my shoulders, back, arms have simply never been worked like that doing regular bench presses. Do it. NOW. It's also great fun doing new exercises. Thanks Jeff!

[paulm2322]

That is the physique I aspire to have! I love boxing and most boxers have a discreet physique, ( shirt on, no one would no how in shape you are. Shirt off, people would think - wow! ) Keep up the god work Jeff and Happy New Year : )

[3QuaNiMiTyy]

i wouldnt really say that the 3rd exercise would be nearly as beneficial for strength and mass

[fiddlebender88]

@3QuaNiMiTyy It's not for building mass. It's for developing strength in your chest, triceps and core in one exercise.

[3QuaNiMiTyy]

@fiddlebender88 oh agreed its fantastic for athleticism and encouraging synergy between muscle groups, i just disagree that you shouldnt always use BP DL and Sqt

[3QuaNiMiTyy]

hahah second exercise, i may as well try to squat an elephant

[hunkyjelly]

i will start doing that today. wish i had put core work in my pushups earlier

[soosi4soosi]

maybe ur workout is better than old school , but Im gonna feel embarrassed doing them at the gym !!

they are strange !

[hunkyjelly]

@soosi4soosi do not let other people bother you about what they think

[TheVirginGamer]

been doing this for a week. i can already see more definition in my abs. thank you so much Jeff. BEST spending of 60 bucks ever. better than spending on Call of Duty lol

[hullukyrpa]

explode up lmfao bahahahaaaaaaaaaaa you fukkin donkey

[hullukyrpa]

fukk u talk alot of shit just fukkin show us the exercises and why you always have ya shirt off? not mirin just you do talk heaps of shit unsubbed

[TheHOG101]

Hey, can you please to a Brady cooper workout

[chilleverest]

if you dont do this exercise..you wont survive the Apocalypse.

[Yusuf91Hot]

Great Stuff. Keep them coming ! I love your videos

[JustLiving305]

My new years revolution is to do this guys workouts

[cdoght]

riding a swing set 3:20

[TheGamerzCut]

whats the song at the begining its so pumping

[titusibs]

wow, the pull up variation works great! i have to add this into my routine. Thanks.

[corcodel0]

first i thought ohh come on this shit is too easy for mee but then i tried to do the exercises and it wasnt so good at least not how i expected so i decided to combine the exercises he showed. The best thing ive done in my life

[corcodel0]

for the last 3 months i did the exercises youve showed us and they were fantastic now people ask me if i am an atlete and i tell them "no i look like an atlete because i train like an athlete"

[tidusfantasy]

David Wright!!! He's the man!!



[oneloveyalls]

jeff i am with u with all this but in football they take a bench and squat test?? what do i do then

[LTMagic21]

was d wright reading a script? hahah

[splurgeism]

the bulgarian split squat jump is a solid exercise. take that exercise over a leg extention anyday, and the twisting piston push up is unreal. great exercises

[bpatryk69]

mixed grip pull ups are old school bro! Theres nothing new about them...

[TenryoTV]

My prediction is, is that all the new years resolution idiots are gonna be clogging up my gym now.

[sychophantt]

Do dips and pullups back to back sets every other day and your whole upperbody will develop fast.

[LTMagic21]

leg extension could be argued to simulate kicking a soccer ball. just playing devil's advocate hahah

[aznguy6694]

what do you think about suspension training? like the TRX system? or the jungle gym xt?

[SeamanAndrew]

I know your right, but in Judo/Ju-Jitsu you do spend alot of time on your back...

[ASH786b8]

What is up with them funky ass weights? =|

[firehawk3125]

Thanks for 2years of great workouts and hopefully more to come

[CAUSE57SAYS]

leg extension helps you sweep from butterfly guard

[djBC10000]

i think this video is meant to those who want lean athletic body not bodybuilders, and jeff should mention that every videos cuz some ppl take it wrong.

[jambiyaSlaughter]

Don't worry jeff, when I do pull-ups in the basement my head hits the light too!!!

[alativalmis]

I injured both of my shoulders, doctor says I cant do any training for my arms for at least two more months... What do you think, are there any exercises for arms that do not strain shoulders too much?

[Metalloid87]

@alativalmis what a bad way to kick into 2012. Sorry to hear that. Ummm, training arms without straining shoulders? Try the preacher curls with an EZ bar. and go light on the weight until u reover. u can still feel the tension with light weights if u go really slow in every reps, make a full stretch at the bottom, and pose at peak contractions. As for Triceps, maybe u can do the skull crushers ? it doesnt stress the Rotator cuff. Same rules as preacher curls. Goodluck recovering :)

[alativalmis]

@Metalloid87 Thank you! ill be sure to try that, left shoulder seems to be almost recovered, tho I wake up every morning with pain in my right shoulder...

[judahscott]

Happy New Year Jeff, thanks for an awesome year in 2011, and wish you all the best in 2012!!!

[TheMakakak]

leg extension can be used for swimming :)

[psychofunksoldier02]

I'm definitely old school in my weight training, but I appreciate the athletic approach. This provides some good alternatives. Keep em coming.

[number1piss]

the leg extension greatly resembles any kind of round kick in mixed martial arts :)

[dwichiesa]

thumbs up if you think he should get a new roof lol

[kyawtun11]

jeff can u please not include the "cool young reese" song? its loud, unnecessary n just prolongs the video, maybe because i've been watching u for awhile, n it might be cool for newcomers but u shd try a short signature sound kinda like the door slamming shut sound they have for Konvict music, and u can have the X fall on the Athlean logo. Just an idea.

[jambiyaSlaughter]

@kyawtun11 I used to hate the song as well. It pumps me up to train in an athletic manner!

[mmadrunkie]

Looking forward to another great yr with athleanx :]

[daytonclint]

The people who disliked this video obviously haven't tried your workouts! I've been working out the "old school way" for 20yrs. I've been doing Athlean-X workouts for 6 months, and I've gotten the bet results I ever had! I'm starting to see my abs, haven't seen them since high school! Thank you Jeff!

Aloha,

Dayton

[milesrulezz]

Jeff do you ever discount your supplements? I am interested in them!

[titusibs]

way to rock it Jeff! love the sups...

[hanz2lk]

4 dislikes are still stuck in the stone age?

[milesrulezz]

Playing soccer you use the leg extension! :D hahaha

[hvm85]

How much do you invest in R&D? Your combos are amazing!

[SSSSSSandman]

Great video Jeff. Awesome as always. Happy New Year.

[heat4yoass]

Jeff, i'm a body builder, but I been incorporating your Athlean X program for the whole year and it has got me the endurance and cut I need on my body. Thanks a lot man!

Especially love that forearm workout from earlier in the year. Monster cuts on my arm from that

[AMNlinkinparkfan115]

Jeff, I do do different variations of bodyweight leg-extensions (along with hamstring-curl variations) based off of what you've shown so far. However, I don't believe that the leg extension machine should be neglected. I've used it so far, along with the "safer" leg-extension variations, and it hasn't harmed me, or my knees rather. I do NOT use the hamstring-curl machine; THAT is pretty strenuous on my knees. But different things work for different people. Happy New Year, btw!

[seifamr1]

yo how old are you ???? im confused

[jmr809]

The push-up variation is great!!!! I can easily bench more than my body weight, but the unequal distribution of weight really fatigued me. I was a bit shocked by how effective it was. The leg workout and the pull up variation were also great. I will certainly work them in to the normal Athlean X/TNT system.

[WhoBerg]

2012.. no more intro!?!?

[TBFighter10]

kicking a soccer ball?

[CastleBeckett1]

Hey Jeff, Happy New Year. Once again many thanks for another inspiring video. Loving the programme you've developed in Athlean-X; looking forward to lots more in 2012 and continuing on this path. Keep up the great work!

[tttzon]

my suggestion jeff. its time to change the music.

[illustratorq]

JANUARY!!!!!

[only2nocrew]

[Ikefis]
