Jeff’s advice in this video is pretty good. Training hard, past failure, emphasising the stretch is all great for building muscle.

That said, the emphasis on complicated techniques may not be beneficial. Likewise, the interpretation of the effective reps theory may be a bit too strong.

Anyways, keen to hear your thoughts guys. Hope you liked the video 🙏🏻❤️

Thing is, some people can train hard and long, some can't.  I'm 43 years old.  I'm a father of 2 young kids. I work 60 hours per week minimum.  High stress work at that.  I personally don't have the time or energy to train long and hard.
Some people do.
But Jeff is an older guy who is looking out for people like me.  I've been following him for way over a decade, and I find his advice to be generally very good.

Its easy, Miloreps!

Having watched Jeff for 10 years, I always got the impression it was aimed at average gym goers who cannot afford more than an hour in the gym at a time. The complaint on this reaction video focussed on Jeff saying you can't train hard for long periods, but for Jeff's viewers that's true, they literally don't have longer to spare. Also he's in his 50's and his advice is usually aimed at older lifters or those with joint issues as he's a physio.
So it's a bit naughty to dismiss his advice just because it's not 100% accurate for someone in their 20/30s who can train for a few hours each session.

28:24 as someone that used athleanx videos as a beginner to learn, i can tell you that by “can’t train long and hard” Jeff refers to one session in the gym. For example: unless you’re a rare specimen,a gym session can’t last for 2hrs and have high intensity at the same time. It’s better to keep the sessions shorter and up the intensity, ergo “can’t train long and hard”

Milo's expression of shock when Jeff asserted there's no magic to lengthened partials had me wheezing.

Great video Dr. Milo very educational and over the last couple years, I’ve been really pushing more my sets to failure and seeing more progress at age 50. This is very helpful for my natural bodybuilding journey. I’ve done four shows over the last two years.

Any research on tendon health promoting hypertrophy? On the physical therapy side it seems that stretching a tendon under load improves tendon strength and recovery from tendon injuries

12:10 me at the end of the date

Training as much volume to build more muscle while technically true is not a good advice. It's like saying working longer hours at your job will make you more money. Beyond a certain point due to diminishing returns, the ratio of input to reward isn't profitable anymore.

I am 57, not sure I could up the volume or intensity. Recovery really takes a beating as we grow older

Love to see that you brought the series back!

Good one brother. Been following both of you from the very beginning

We have 70 years of bodybuilding to show us what works best. That's where you find true evidence based training.

As a life long weight lifter, Jeff has improved my entire workout mentally and given me results I never thought were even possible. Jeff is the man.

the "sticking" point is a transition of muscle groups.
Pressing you are transitioning from your chest to your triceps.
Lot of guys in IFBB won't even do full motion presses because when they do chest, they want to focus chest, when they do arms, they want to do arms.

Came for the analysis, enjoyed the one line zingers

23:25 I would say it’s to aid tendon recovery as tendons tend to recover faster and better with isometrics and slow reps as it takes more time per rep to cause tendon repair.

Insane refresh pull.

I think Jeff is okay. I think he tries to hard on some things, he uses fake plates, he does some weird stuff for views, but he’s overall decent. His older stuff also often contradicts his newer stuff. He also talks really strongly about ideal bf%, but I think he’s really capped his potential by never bulking. He’s in amazing shape and looks fantastic, but he’s not a big guy at all. I’m not taking anything away from him, but not everyone wants to be that lean and cap growth in that way.
