I accidentally turned a regular biceps set into a drop weight partials set because I overestimated how much I had left in my arms after doing chest flyes and a shitload of rows with as much weight as I could manage. Figured I'd still have enough to do at least a quick few sets, but good lord I had hardly anything. Had to drop 30lb off my curl weight, after partial reps at the intended and a few steps down felt like the LAST rep the FIRST try.
Still got a great pump, still building muscle off it, but as cool as it would be to get that much out of that little, relatively speaking, I still think it's from all the other motions I did prior to the curls (not that they didn't -Seal the deal. Those few struggling reps might have been great for building muscle but they came at the end of an admittedly spent workout. Going to do it again soon and see if the results continue, I've been needing something to shake up my arm workouts: )

Can somebody back his video with some science or at least strong arguments? Because I have problems with it:
1) First of all, full range of motion builds more strength, that was already proven, and as we all know more strength correlates with more muscle( Have you seen very strong guy being skinny)
2) It looks like his elbows are straight, so it puts huge stress on elbow joint, what is not a great idea in a long run as much as i know.
3) Also it looks like he's leaning back when raising the dumbbells what makes him use not only his side delt but also recruit help from front delt

If you train with a conscious mind you will or should feel whenever the muscle is under tension and the mechanical leverage is to your disadvantage. Try to visualize it and train within those parameters. It feels as if you are under constant tension. Use compensatory acceleration, stop and squeeze the muscle as hard as you can at the top of the lift and perform the eccentric part slow and controlled. You really have to feel that you control the motion and just before you notice the weight is feeling lighter, accelerate it back up.

Jeff please make a video all about the AC joint in our shoulder!
-how to prevent it
-how to heal completely from it
- and other stuff like that.
I really messed up my AC joint like 2 months ago and I have been resting it forever. And it still hurts like hell when I go and do a bench press. Can I even workout my chess without my AC joint hurting? Like really, how can I workout my chess without putting stress on my AC joint?
I really need your help Jeff please please please.

Hey does not being sore mean you didn't work out enough the previous day? I worked 3 strong sets to failure for my triceps and they aren't sore at all other then a little fatigued. I know your body gets used to certain weights and exercises but I just started working out again after a really long time and this is only my second week.

With my personal training clients (and in my own workouts) I have them using resistance bands rather than dumbbells for the side lat raise for similar reasons as above. There's Zero momentum when using resistance bands and the amount of resistance increases as one reaches full contraction. Partial reps with these are killers!

a 16 year old in my gym has an arm that looks similar to jeff cavilieres arm but 3 inch smaller, do you guys think he is on roids? he told me that he doesnt lift often and he goes on and off. and he started around 3 months ago. I know i will get some hate for asking this but i've been wondering. Thx in advance

I expect that many of your disciples will be doing the ritual fasting month between circa the 16th of June to the 16th of July. No food or water from dawn to sunset for 29-to 30 days straight
Can you do a Jeff's rant on whether it is effective to exercise during this period and nutrition essentials?
Thanks

Great lecture on the partial repetitions. Is it possible you could do a video with the same principle but using your bodyweight or bodyweight exercises like push ups and pull ups. If its all right with you, chest, back, legs and abs bodyweight exercises. This is gonna be helpful to me!
