Bear Mode

[austensantana]

I have to give props to Jeff for being so respectful when asking alpha questions about his ideals and not slamming on him or forcing a debate when you know he disagrees.

[alyoshazeifman]

This is one of the best AlphaDestiny interviews I've seen. Props to the Jeff for going deep. You can really tell Alpha has a wealth of knowledge as a coach.

[alphamattfitness]

Been doing this "yoke" training during my bulk, I've added heavy rack pulls and no doubt this has increased my deadlift quite a bit. Holding onto that heavy weight, stretching the traps, building the neck really works by overloading them with heavy weights, heavy rows, etc.

[Sheamus]

I'm really happy we got this interview with Dom Mazzetti.

[JourneyToJacked]

I can just imagine Alex telling a girl over and over, “It’s not about the size it’s the weighted stretch!”

[MarkBoulders]

I agree with the bodyfat discussion. I sit between 9-12% bodyfat most of the year. I have been working as a personal trainer for 7 years and competing with powerlifting and weightlifting off and on for 10. I've gotten way more compliments when sitting around 12-14% bodyfat after training cycles and on break. There is truth to what you are saying for sure.

[marcinkow]

next interview must be Jeff vs Jeff (athlean-x) XD

[aaronglass]

I used to be an adventurer, but I took a rackpull above the knee

[SpacePizza]

Please keep doing podcasts! I really enjoy these conversations. I started following you first then found Revive Stronger and when I saw you there as well I had a mindgasm. Keep these up please. Its nice to see different opinions converse about a topic and reaching a conclusion.

[i_GARTYx]

Here’s my take on the most crucial body parts to look hench, in order..

1. Neck and traps- thickness, masculinity, bull dog like
2. Upper and lower lats- V shape, broad back, strong stability, width, aesthetic
3. Chest- alphaness, strength, changes your postural appearance
4. Quads- chunky, thick, strong base, like women who squat loads- they instantly look hencher

[film.everywhere]

An hour and a half of Jeff ??? my life just got so much better

[MatiasStrengthCoach]

Amazing collaboration! It's great that this approach is coming to light. So many young teens wanting to cut down and get shredded when it's totally unhealthy to their physiques, hormone levels and development as a man. I think this is a much healthier way to treat your body, besides you're actually focused on getting stronger which will automatically make you bigger. Keep it up guys!

[Raise.the.Bar.Training]

Definitely throwing my vote in for the heavier beefy bear build!

[jayn]

No way I could only do twice a week in the gym. I love training and feel like a turd if I don't go

[theyoutubeofmyname]

"Who walks around shirtless all the time pumped up doing lat spreads..." 🙋🏽‍♂️

[ipesina]

This physique is the most attractive to me. To actually look strong, not just "chisled". To look like they can actually protect you. Insanely sexy.

[ethanshamai]

Can't believe I just saw this now 3 years later! Love this collab
