Jeff, the type of guy to apply progressive overload on his videos and up the frequency on uploading to gain more viewer growth.

Jeff, the type of guy to wake Stephanie up in the middle of the night to sleep the remaining hours on the other side of the bed, to avoid sleep imbalances.

Man I wish this type of content was available when I was in my late teens and 20s. You can always count on Jeff to give a detailed and easy to understand walk through of the exercises. Appreciate all your work and efforts to help guys like me.

Jeff: "Such as the *Rope Facepulls"
Jeff Cavalier: *Rear delts start to flex*" ...someones talking about my face pulls... Jesse..grab my markers..

I have been following you a while and really enjoy your channel. I have been working out for 30+ years, but I have learned so much from your super-informative, science-based, NON-CHEESY information. Also, you never seem like a know-it-all—just super-chill dispenser of great info. I appreciate it! My 15 year old son is just becoming interested in lifting. I am showing him in the gym, but really I just keep pointing him to your videos for proper form tips as the perfect follow up. Keep it up and thank you!

[RexPhalange]

Someone actually wrote "kick the shit out" on their research paper? 😂

[kipross]

Jeff, you make very respectable and professional content. I can tell you put enormous effort into each video. Keep up the good work.

You've really changed the way I work out, Jeff. Following you and Jeff Cavalier, I look better at 32 than I did lifting 4 times a week at 22. It's greatly appreciated by many of us.

[j-rock]

Great video, I’m currently doing rear delts 3 times per week to bring them up a bit so this is really helpful. I underestimated the symmetrical significance of this muscle in my early training.

[thetoastedplum]

Legend has it that if you’re called Jeff you are gifted with special gain knowledge.

[RafaelW]

Face pulls? Jeff Cavaliere wants to know your location

[coachchasecampbell]

Recovering from two shoulder surgeries, this video is just what I've been looking for. Much obliged my man!

[Sackboy]

Rear delts is something i've really struggled to isolate, glad you've released a vid on this!

[SteveFields-tmje]

I'm starting my 4th week in your High frequency program, I have made more progress in this structured than any other workout routine. I'm 72 so it's never to late. Thanks

[ourtube]

Jeff Nippard, did Jeff Cavalier make you include face pulls? Does he have Stephanie held hostage? Hit a quick double bicep pose if you’re in danger.

Edit: 3:50 oh my god, hang in there Jeff HELP IS ON THE WAY

[MrAvidLearner]

"Mind muscle connection" deserves its own video.

[kRaf]

This channel is highly underrated. Great vids jeff

[jackpalicki]

I think a lot of people would benefit from a technique video on the seated cable row. it seems like a staple for back training but almost everyone I've trained with, myself included, has their forearms and biceps take over during the movement

Anyone else like before watching because they already know its gonna be quality content?
