@nomuscleasianman Yeah..I get it...But in our case: Not professional bodybuilders? If you don't have certain supplements what does this result in? No progress at all, right?
Dear Jeff, could you please make a video, in which you show, which equipment is good and which you use, like what kind of bench or pullup station and so on! This would be awesome!
Thank you for this Jeff, very helpful information. I've completed 8 weeks of your program, lost 20 pounds, and I am very lean. I won't lie though, I'm having trouble gaining mass although I continue to get stronger. I hope these methods help me breakthrough. Thanks again.
@sanelemelane ask your spotter to help you lift the weight then slowly lower it to you chest. repeat until it's impossible to control the speed on the way down (make sure your spotter is doing their job and catching the bar before it crushes your ribs!!)
Can't say I am with you on this. I never cared for the mental effect of going to complete failure. As long as you are progressing with your weight, reps, and/or shorter time between sets/rounds, then you will get muscle growth.
@sclaysdharma simply progressing with weights, reps or sets will of course give you muscle growth..but the whole point of this video is to help people MAXIMISE growth..if working to failure will give you results 10-20% quicker than there is absolutely no reason not to do it
Bought A-X about a week or two ago, having fun so far. You say do 3-4 sets of each exercise. Should i employ this technique every set? Coz i think it would be very hard to do this for three sets.
I have a question as well, do you think there is a way to max your negative reps with traps exercises?? Back n traps my main focus right now, my question goes along with SamDaman's.
You "Jeff Cavaliere's " You're the Best athlete's Trainer in U tube , loves the Work out Results & Great Routine Exercise Programs - 2 thumbs all the way up - excellent tips - very much Appreciated Cheers! to you... Love you & God Bless! - Thank You!! :)
@abuladula most definitely. I applied thee concepts(so far) to an ab/core workout. It's genius. My ab routine wasn't even bothering me anymore, even with trying different workouts. I can actually TELL I'll be sore tomorrow morning.
I'd buy your program simply to support your furthered conquests. Right now, I am POOR, and thats the only reason I follow your youtube instead of getting more in depth in your programs. I'm 140 lbs trying to get to 150 on just lean muscle, with no suppliments. You're videos will be followed closely lol.
this is possibly one of your best vids, and what sets you apart from other work out programs. You're not jsut finding different ways to work out, like most trainers. You actually take the time to break down the mechanics of the workout itself. I've never heard insight from other people into the most basic concepts of a workout. Things like this will take any exercise, and make it that much better. if you can do more of these, on various muscle groups, awesome =D
Mike mentzer's Heavy Duty program (developed nearly 30-40 yrs ago with the help of arthur jones) first illustrated reps to failure, and about 2 days of rest in between for maximum results... i love jeffs vids, but i love seeing credit be given to its rightful owner more
I trained to fail my muscle by bicep curls and push up. Felt the muscle stiffen up so much that my muscle was in pain and couldn't move arms for three days until I started taking medication to relax muscles. could I have done anything wrong or is this normal?
Great vid. Question: How do I get myself up on the Wall-of-Fame!? I've been working hard over the last month or so (school teacher, Summer Break, etc.), and I've incorporated many of the Athlean-X nutritional/training principles and practices into my usual fitness regimen. I've taken to the discipline (to some extent) of a boxer, and dedicated many hours per week to get into "boxing" shape. Let me know! :) !
Jeff, I have a question that I hope you can address. I have purchased yout AX. Great so far. Do you train to failure every set? Say you perform 3 set of 10 curls.. If you train to complete failure. how the heck can u do 2 more sets within a min or 2 or rest?
@UclaChris1 I know what your talking about. The best thing you can do is just lower the wieght the next set so you but still train to failure for that set. For expamle 3 sets of 10 reps. Set 1 you curl 100 pounds and fail on rep 10, the second you only use 85 training to failure at the 10 rep, and for the third set you only use 70 pounds. Essentialy lower the weight each rep
@UclaChris1 I know what your talking about. The best thing you can do is just lower the wieght the next set so you but still train to failure for that set. For expamle 3 sets of 10 reps.

Sorry my first comment said rep i ment SET !
for 52Cardsco: I don't know how old/young or fat/skinny you are but Chicks aren't gonna want to bang you just because of your abs. Pretend you are naturally that way and hang casual. You know how some people can get a new 'whateva'? Bragging turns me off and just wait for them to settle down which usually takes a month. Be like that about your physique. Allow other people time to praise your work with out saying too much about yourself in ADvance. W/O takes 3 times the effort of what shows.
Excellent job jeff!! I love it! I can't wait to hit the gym and do negative reps! Oh BTW.. I did the bulletproof ab wheel workout! And almost died!!! I love it! I'm gonna master it so the chicks in the gym are gonna wanna bang me!! Thanks n keep it coming!!!
Jeff, I have a question on #129 on your Complete X-ercise Menu. You state a rest period of 1 minute. In week 3, Tuesday, do I rest 1 minute between the 5 reps of #129? Or do I knock out the 5 reps in a row, then rest 1 minute before moving on to #126, knock out those 5 reps, then move on to #127, and so on? Thanks!
This is a good video. You just explained something I have been looking for. (( Is there a better way 2 train 2 failure.)) Brother keep up the good work! God bless!
Jeff, I have a question for you, you cover eccentric and concentric strength in terms of muscle building, but is there any room for isometric strength? Is there a way to incorporate that for at least one set for maximizing muscle growth?
I just joined the program, I'm going out of town for a few days but ill start it up next Monday an let everyone know what I think of it. It seems worth the money, I'll post some feedback soon.
Great stuff, video is what I love to see for motivation! Would be cool to also work out with people in the same geographic location and not sure if that was an option on the program?
@spegedie6 why would he need to be any bigger? he probably at this point is just manetaining his look. and anyways.. a normal weightlifter only gains like.. 5-10 lbs of muscle a year
Great stuff, Jeff! I'm learning a lot of easy to implement options for burning fat and building muscle in a time frame that is more conducive to saving more exercising hours in the week.
i start athlean x today. I used to be over weight, lost it. Still had remaining skin + body wasnt what I wanted to look like even after a year of resistance training (after i lost the weight) so now im doing athleanx
Jeff i can see that you are getting bigger, your bi's look like they have from your earlier video's, just shows even you are getting more and more lean
jeff i just recently became a part of the x team.. with that said i used to do p90x and im used to working along with the vids.. is there a way i can access this same thing with your system.
I'm definitely giving this slow negative movement a go for a new workout regime. I'm also reading a book right now, based on HIT that also tells you that negative failures are more important than the positive.
Jeff I have carpal tunnell so my doctor recommends that i not work with weights, so my question is how can i gain muscle mass, in my arms, chest and back without lifting weights? Will the athlean x bands work for me? If so then i will buy the program.
Hi Jeff! This is an intresting theory, but if the things you say in this video is so important why dont you have it in your 90 days training system? And in some exercises I think it can be hard to make it to negative failure. Is it so important to get double failure? Have a great day!
@finndahl It actually IS in the program. It's written within the rules of the system for each phase. I think your mistake is looking at it as "double failure". There's only one MUSCLE FAILURE, and that is taking your muscle to COMPLETE fatigue on that given set using a weight that gets you there in the specified rep range. It's the stimulus needed to demand change by a body that loves nothing more than to stay the same ( due to homeostasis). I'll address this more on the blog on the site!
there is no such thing called failure....you can..keep decreasing your weight when exercising....till there is flood of blood in you veins.....suppose your working ur arms...u can keep dropping weights...until you reach the point of just swing your hand....relying on its own weight !!
Hey Jeff, I want to order the AthLEAN Elast-X: ClassiX "X" Band but the site says that you're out of stock. Any idea when you'll have them? You ship to Canada, right? Love the AthleanX programme. On week 4 now and def seeing the results. Having the rights bands will be better than using the ones at the gym. Thanks.
Hey Jeff- i've been wondering for a while now... how long should you give muscles to repair and recover before working them again... im a newbie and trying to avoid over training!.... PLEASE ADVICE
@crazytha2 if u do bicep once a week u will av oid this easily. as long as u arnt doing the same muscle everyday u will be ok if u wanna do arms 2 times a week do it monday friday and ur still ok
@crazytha2 Rest is almost more important than the workout. You want to get the next workout in just before that next workout would make you sore (at least). So lets say if you take a week off your chest and you come back and do that same chest workout, and your sore the next day, you've waited too long. Had you only waited 5 days you may not have been sore. Rule of thumb: exercise each muscle group once a week.
@crazytha2 If you really work hard you'll feel it the next day, I don't take any supplements and it takes me about two days till the muscle soreness disappears and I can train again. In my opinion you should adapt your workouts to your body because others that are genetically gifted or take creatine and other shit recover alot faster.
@printisoric definitely think you've given me the best answer out of all the responses. thanks alot. i can definitely relate that to what i have personal experienced, so its much easier to understand. thumbs up!
@crazytha2 you shouldgive your muscles a good 48 hours of rest after working out... this all depends though on how hard you worked out.. one rule of thumb is never to workout a muscle that is still remotely sore from previous workouts, if it hurts it means it is still ripped tisue and hasnt yet repaired. but i workout the a muscle once a week everyweek sometimes twice (abs is about 3-4 x's a week ) but thats cuz you should balance your body out by doing close to everymuscle in one week.
Jeff- I have to say that everything you say make sense!. Thank You for inspiring me to workout again. so far I dropped 25 lbs. and im back to my fighting weight. from 252 lbs to 224 lbs. and feeling great. Thank you once again, and keep it coming.
These new Ideas really blow my mind I love what you do great job.I would like to know if Black Power which i'm using as a preworkout is good stuff or not.
Hi Jeff...what do you think about this...I am an Ectomorph HARD GAINER with an extremely fast metabolism and sensitive nervous system, and I have been reading that for guys like me should ONLY be doing FULL-BODY workouts...Only TWICE per week...and ONLY doing ONE SET to failure. I read that VOLUME training is just too much calorie burning for us and will just eat up our muscles from all the sets and reps. Thoughts on this?
Surely it can't be good to train to failure in all weight training that you do? I have a friend who suffers from deltoid fatigue which is basically because he's overworked his delts too much too often and now he needs physio to get them back on form
I think you should have a few normal warm up sets and go to true failiure on the last on. Dorian Yates did this method. Search dorian yates hit training
Where can I get personal training from you?

Great tip. Have been going slow on negative for years but not the way you showed to failure, thanks.

there is no such thing called failure....you can..keep decreasing your weight when exercising....till there is flood of blood in you veins.....suppose your working ur arms...u can keep dropping weights...until you reach the point of just swing your hand....relying on its own weight !!

Hey Jeff, I want to order the AthLEAN Elast-X: ClassiX "X" Band but the site says that you're out of stock. Any idea when you'll have them? You ship to Canada, right? Love the AthleanX programme. On week 4 now and def seeing the results. Having the rights bands will be better than using the ones at the gym. Thanks.

It depends how fit you are, how old you are, how long you have been bodybuilding and how well you eat.
Give me your rough stats and I can give you a good idea.

@crazytha2 Rest is almost more important than the workout. You want to get the next workout in just before that next workout would make you sore (at least). So lets say if you take a week off your chest and you come back and do that same chest workout, and your sore the next day, you've waited too long. Had you only waited 5 days you may not have been sore. Rule of thumb: exercise each muscle group once a week.

@crazytha2 If you really work hard you'll feel it the next day, I don't take any supplements and it takes me about two days till the muscle soreness disappears and I can train again. In my opinion you should adapt your workouts to your body because others that are genetically gifted or take creatine and other shit recover alot faster.

@printisoric definitely think you've given me the best answer out of all the responses. thanks alot. i can definitely relate that to what i have personal experienced, so its much easier to understand. thumbs up!
crazytha2 6 months ago
@crazytha2 you shouldgive your muscles a good 48 hours of rest after working out... this all depends though on how hard you worked out.. one rule of thumb is never to workout a muscle that is still remotely sore from previous workouts, if it hurts it means it is still ripped tisue and hasnt yet repaired. but i workout the a muscle once a week everyweek sometimes twice (abs is about 3-4 x's a week ) but thats cuz you should balance your body out by doing close to everymuscle in one week.

Hi Jeff...what do you think about this...I am an Ectomorph HARD GAINER with an extremely fast metabolism and sensitive nervous system, and I have been reading that for guys like me should ONLY be doing FULL-BODY workouts...Only TWICE per week...and ONLY doing ONE SET to failure. I read that VOLUME training is just too much calorie burning for us and will just eat up our muscles from all the sets and reps. Thoughts on this?

Surely it can't be good to train to failure in all weight training that you do? I have a friend who suffers from deltoid fatigue which is basically because he's overworked his delts too much too often and now he needs physio to get them back on form

Should you work to failure in all sets, or just the last one?
