![]() ![]() This is particularly the case when it comes to shoulder issues. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve tapped into his knowledge to help clients – and occasionally myself – deal with various injuries. He is also a qualified physical therapist and his advice on injury prevention and rehabilitation is, I would argue, unrivalled online. His chest workouts, for example, are excellent.Īnother thing I like about Cavaliere – and why I encourage clients to view his content – is that he mixes original ideas with a tried and tested reliance on compound lifts. His advice for the upper body is similarly useful. That might sound a bit too minimalist, but it gets the job done – deadlift for power and a single-leg movement like split squats for a total leg workout in its own right. Getting the job doneĬavaliere has also spoken of performing leg workouts with just two movements: the deadlift and Bulgarian split-squat. The direction to treat the beginning of the deadlift like a leg press and the exercise itself as a pushing rather than pulling movement hits the mark perfectly. In that sense, the advice he always gives regarding the deadlift is absolutely spot on. It’s the quality of advice which matters. Take, for example, a video of Cavaliere performing deadlifts which has been held up as evidence that he is using fake weights. So it goes without saying that the average person looking to improve their fitness and/or physique can learn a great deal from him as well. So do some of the major stars of sport and entertainment he works with. Athlean-X – a great resourceĪs a fitness professional, I continually learn new things from Cavaliere. ![]() The main issue is surely the quality of the content and advice on offer. The YouTube judge and jury have decided he has – and he does appear to in some videos – but does it matter? I’d argue not.Īthlean-X is a brand and its frontman appearing to lift heavier weights than he actually does would simply be a marketing ploy. In the last couple of weeks there has been much, totally pointless, hand-wringing among the YouTube fitness community over whether Cavaliere uses fake weights in some of his videos. Fake weights = fake advice?Ĭlearly the coronavirus lockdown and the resulting lack of sporting actionhas messed with people’s heads. ![]() They see him as the go-to guy when it comes to fitness tips. So much so that I, a humble west London-based personal trainer thousands of miles away, have come across numerous clients and would-be clients who are avid viewers of his. Make no mistake about it, Jeff Cavaliere is a global star in the fitness industry. That channel, which is linked to his Athlean-X website, has a massive following of several million subscribers. Results, as always, will vary from individual to individual for these reasons and you are responsible for understanding that atypical outcomes may not reflect your experience.Has Jeff Cavaliere of Athlean-X been using fake weights? And if so, does it matter?įor those who don’t know who Jeff Cavaliere is, he was previously the head physical therapist of the New York Mets and now owns a hugely successful YouTube fitness channel. That said, as with all fitness programs, the best results are not uncommonly correlated with the best efforts, discipline, diligence, and so on, and therefore the results depicted and featured cannot be construed as common, typical, expected, normal, or associated with the average user’s experience.
