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.
