Today is my first push/pull day in a month and a half, very interested in seeing how much higher my numbers will be especially when it comes to regular pull ups.

Yeah, the fake weight thing didn’t bother me. These guys do a lot of takes when making their vids, so I gave it a pass. Jeff knows his stuff. Shit, he worked with the NY Mets. I fixed a trapezius issue with one of his rehab techniques.  

hes good on the surface until you realise hes just not good technically

i'm going to have to disagree. he's excellent when it comes to form, muscle activation and tips for progressive overload (depending on your goals).  what has he said that's incorrect?

other fitness youtubers disputed him about his poor advice, PHDs and strength coaches, his terrible deadlift form and weird squatting advice.

haha hes used fake weights to make himself look stronger and even bragged about the weights and when he tried to lift heavy weights the worst form ever  2.45

Its P90x3's 'The Challenge'. Just an onslaught of push up and pull up variations

 

Wide Pull Up

Standard Push Up

Standard Push Up

 

Chin Up

Military Push Up

Close Grip Pull Up

Wide Push Up

 

Vaulter Pull Up (Right)

Staggered Push Up (Right)

Vaulter Pull Up (Left)

Staggered Push Up (Left)

 

 

As you can see Tony groups the harder pull up variations with the easier push ups and vice versa. Seems like an effective way to maximize reps/performance without overdoing it.

i have seen so many contradicting vids about "correct form" from doctors and strength coaches. ever wonder why there are so many injuries by professionals who use even top trainers? it's because there's no definitive right/wrong, due to differences with height/width/leg/arm proportions. for example, some people are better performing deadlifts with the hips a bit more open than normal, due to awkward arm/leg length ratios. EVERY youtube fitness trainer has been knocked, but jeff gets knocked the most since he's the most popular.  i would say jeff is solid for overall fitness, especially when it comes to aesthetics. are there better ones out there for pure strength training (just strength, not muscle building)? absolutely. but even then, what they view as "proper form" may not be the best for your body type. that's why it's better to experiment with many training styles and take notice of how a particular move makes your body feel.

 

btw, some "incorrect forms" of squats are actually beneficial - such as the narrow squat (where the feet are literally pressed against each other). it's one of the best progressions when learning a pistol squat. also, you can strengthen knee joints by letting your knees go past your toes when squatting. in the past, that was frowned upon, but now "experts" believe it may not be so bad after all. you should see all of the conflicting views on youtube about the sissy squat.

"perfect form" varies, though.

but you said "perfect form" earlier, which is open to interpretation, rather than mechanically correct. a mechanically correct way to do a deadlift, for example, is literally getting the bar to go up in a straight line. it's not really complicated.

needs to be close to the legs 🙂

hence a straight line lol. it's not rocket science. you may have to tweak "perfect form" to perform it, depending on your body type. this is why i said there's no such thing as perfect form.
