Hey Jeff! Can you please make a complete detailed video on the various reasons for knee pain? Like knee pain due to patellar tendonitis, knee pain due to knee valgus, knee pain due to meniscus tear, knee pain due to ACL/MCL issues, knee pain due to foot/ankle stability etc. It would be helpful if you covered how to identify the cause of knee pain and also exercises/stretches to address the issue.
knee valgus? thats just an inwards pointing deformity. In and of itself it shouldn't cause major problems but is probably more of the tension on the knee from the upper body - so if someone were overweight, they may want to consider doing something about it like high intensity non-weight bearing cardio like long distance swimming or cycling. you cant really address issues like acl/pcl or mcl/lcl tears without surgical intervention or tonnes of rest for healing because when they are torn, you will continue to feel the pain. Please remember I am NOT A DOCTOR. If you want an exercise that my high school coach gave me for increased stability, I was told to work on my balance by standing on a pillow (to decrease balance) with one fool for as long as i could. I don't know what extent this worked to help but the explanation i was given was that the supporting ligaments and, to a lesser extent, tendons will get stronger which makes sense. I don't really trust anything alternative mediciny and if you are in real pain, you should see a doctor. Oh yeah, and to identify the cause of knee pain, there are a couple of tests you can do, first, check for bursitis (fluid filled cysts) on or around the knee (also at the back). Then, look at your knee in the mirror to see from the front/side profile, compare the two sides if you only feel pain in one side, look at it, is it red/hot/cut etc. check whether flexion and extension are working to the same extent on either side. Then someone else can do three different tests on you, they are called the anterior/posterior drawer test, lachmanns, and mcl/lcl stress. for the anterior drawer and lachmanns, you sit on the leg after bringing it up to a 90 degree angle and then, placing your hands on the leg below the knee crease, pull up gently (for acl) or push down gently (for pcl), the knee should not jut forwards or backwards extensively when doing the test, Lachmann's is the same for 60° and isn't too commonly done anymore. For mcl, you keep the leg straight and then place one hand on the inside of the calf, the further from the knee, the (better) more moment and force you can get, and one hand on the outside of the thigh. You apply pressure on these parts simultaneously and look for signs of discomfort when the patient is comfortable and you can lift their leg whilst doing the test to make it easier to carry out. It is the opposite for the lateral collateral ligament as you are checking the integrity of the ligament and so need to stress it (see if the knee snaps when the leg is valgus(lmcl with the knee facing inwards)/varus(lcl - knee facing outwards). These are the four ligaments you can test during a knee examination. You can quite easily find videos of the tests being done online. always remember to compare the two sides with one another and don't be in extensive pain (don't carry on after getting uncomfortable) because you will damage something.
Those adaptive exercises are genius, by some stroke of luck I actually figured out that skullcrusher eccentric cheat one day because I was trying to do every possible exercise in my routine with burn-out reps or forced negatives. Necessity is the mother of invention!
Hey Jeff, here’s one for an ‘ask Jeff’ what is your opinion on people saying oat meal isn’t good for you? Be interested to hear your opinions on this, thanks
I've been on the carnivore diet after Baker was on Rogan's show. I'm mid-40s at 5% body fat and well defined without much resistance training. I play a lot of other sports.
Jeff do you train hockey players? I am a coach and I am dealing with the softest PP unit I have ever seen. I need my PP unit to play hard if we want to win the cup. Please help my boys beef up so we can reach our full PP potential. - Coach Weber
Whats the best way to not get golfers elbow when going back to the gym and doing lots of arm workouts, triceps, biceps and so on? Right now I have dropped 30 lbs and have been working out 6 days a week and for about 3 months but my left arm seems to have golfers elbow I do use a sleeve now to help it.
Hello Jeff, I'm trying to incorporate these tips into my PPL routine (following your perfect Pull-Push-Legs videos), but was wondering how to incorporate cardio and abs into the routine if I'm doing 6 days PPL. Maybe abs and cardio every other day?
Hello Jeff, I follow you from 5 years and i like all your videos, I have a question please. what is your opinion about "Coach Ali" youtube chanel? I saw that he train differently than what you recommend on your videos. For instance in shoulder press he keep his shoulder parallel like in one ligne and not in scapular plane, the same for the bench press he doesn't put his arm in 45 degree angle, he make flies with dumbbells on the bench and not on the ground? I am thinking to train with him because i enjoys his videos and his vibes but i am afraid of injuries.

So Jeff with so many variations of the bicep curl, in order to have a perfect looking bicep is the idea to have at least three variations of this exercise and hit them from every angle?
Hey thanks for all the advice 5 months ago I was at 220 and I am only 5'6 and started 5 months ago watching pretty much every video lol, but I got my nutrition under control and work out every single day because I love it and at the moment I am now at 166 and ripped, and yeah I just turned 40, that being said anyone can do it, thanks Jeff for giving this older guy the best shape ever 😅
Hell yeah, dude! Great job of sticking with it! I am also 5'6", but I am 42 years old and was much worse off, as I was ~260 lbs back in February. I was just sick of feeling like a lump of floppy flesh lol, and was looking for some advice on how to go about this shit, and found this channel. I have been including his workouts, along with some 20-25 min sessions on the elliptical and shooting hoops, a few times a week (not to mention getting up out of the chair at my home office to go for a walk each day). I've made it to 216 lbs, so far, and I've built up much more muscle than I've ever had before! I feel amazing, and there's no stopping me! This is not a diet or workout stint to lose weight... this was a lifestyle change, and I don't regret it one bit.
I’ve recently become a big fan of the cable curl. I’ll use the long, lay pull down bar that swivels and “lean back” at the cable station and try to get tension during the entire rep….wide grip, but with elbows in. 💪🏼
Can we discusse why you are not breathing for? Your face should not be that red if you're breathing in & out, which you should be doing other wise you'll pass out from lack of air flow to your body.. I'm just saying..
Advanced technique, he treats every rep as 1RM. Holding breath and bracing core provide more stability which allows you to lift more weight. Do you breathe in 1RM?
Hey Jeff that's an amazing video. Can you continue this series as well as the thing I have been asking for last 6 months the 10 min dumbbell workout series to be continued please it means a lot . And thanks for delivering great content every week 😊
Jeff, what if my Biceps is super pumped during workouts, like its going to burst. I can't physically do more than 5 reps and the next day I don't feel like I have even trained it.
@@nomnomyourmom problem is, it seems I need to do absurd amount of weekly sets to even feel sore. That is not right and I am extremely focused on good technique and mind muscle connection.
@centurion9173 are you going heavier? Till failure? I like to stay at a weight where I can't get passed 8 reps and I do 4-5 sets, standing curls pinky up. You'll feel it, sometimes the next day or two when I flex I feel all those microtears ripping again. Feels so good
Hi Jeff Great work as always. You should fix the mistake at the end of your clip. You speak about your protein powder and how it is 30 grams per serving and only 6.5 cents per serving but it is actually 6.5 cents per gram. What is written on your whiteboard is correct but what you say is incorrect and confusing. I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos and love your products and programs as well. Kelly
I feel sorry that I have been neglected eccentric for a long time since my arms been grown to 18~18.5 inches for a long time and now 19 inches. I just do X-second concentric and ~1-second eccentric (slow enough to just prevent harm). The sizes of arm currently stop growing, and Jeff reminds me of performing eccentric again.
Jeff, could you do a series on adapting your programs for a suspension trainer (TRX, etc.)? Thanks, I love your videos and the great content you deliver.
Cross body hammers were huge in helping me connect and build my biceps, especially with my weaker left arm. Now I'm pretty even with both with nice developement and can lift heavier overall. Going to incorporate more overhead cable work on my triceps, feel like they're lagging behind a bit now. Thanks for the video!
Cross body hammers primarily target the brachialis, and some outer head of the bicep, and virtually 0 inner head. If cross body hammers built up your biceps, you are either misguided in what actually delivers results, or you performed cross body hammers so improperly that you were using your biceps more than your brachialis.
EMG data shows that CBHCs result in very similar activation of brachialis and long head, and somewhat less activation of the short head. Based on this, I superset CBHCs with supinated curls. I go to failure on CBHCs and then do two rest-pause minisets to failure (about 30 reps total). I then drop the weight by 50% and do fully supinated curls with the much lighter weight, and I can only get about 5 reps. Clearly the CBHCs nearly exhausted the short head.
It is well-established in the exercise science literature that EMG data is by no means directly indicative of effective muscle growth. This is easily proven for exercises such as the straight arm pulldown, where EMG data shows little to no activation at the top stretch of the movement, even though RCT's show that the top stretch of the movement leads to greater overall lat development
HI, I’m a female. I have been doing your workout for a while now and love your videos but I do wish you would not refer to the crowd as GUYs. You use it several times each video. At first I didn’t mind but it’s starting to get irritating. Thanks
Jeff - have you considered getting rid of the artificial sweeteners? That's the only reason I won't purchase your supplements. Thanks & as always, great content.
I am trying to find a rope like the one you are using for your Overhead Push Away. I can't find these online. I keep finding the ropes with the plastic bells on the end. Where do I find a rope like what is in the video?
Hey Jeff! Can you please make a complete detailed video on the various reasons for knee pain? Like knee pain due to patellar tendonitis, knee pain due to knee valgus, knee pain due to meniscus tear, knee pain due to ACL/MCL issues, knee pain due to foot/ankle stability etc. It would be helpful if you covered how to identify the cause of knee pain and also exercises/stretches to address the issue.
Love the tricep 'cheat' using a close grip bench press style to life the weights. I do things like this intuitively when I'm trying to really get everything I can from a muscle. Nice to see it demonstrated here.

I was wondering if you have any exercises for back muscles. I have mild scoliosis on my upper back and I always go to the chiropractor. My chiropractor told me it would help if I worked out with some dumbbells because I have a balance issue while using a bench press. Do you have any suggestions?
Jeff are you ever worried that one day when you’re busy Jesse will come running into the gym, excited to tell you he’s been invited to go fishing, and mistakingly grab a weighted vest thinking it’s a life jacket? You’ll blame yourself for getting him so swole that the poor lamb barely felt the heaviness of the jacket.
I can’t believe his buddy there the younger guy has been lifting for years and his gains are so minimal. Must be bad genetics man . I never had problem putting on solid muscle but staying lean is my issue. Everyone has their own battles I guess
It's been 9 months since I got back to the gym and I definitely see results. My concern is, do supplements play a huge role in building muscle if you already having enough proteins?
If the supplements contain other needed nutrients that you don't get from your normal diet, then yeah. Supplements are not the same as protein. There are supplements for eg. vitamins, fibers and other things as well that you might get more out of.
