ATHLEAN-X Interview - Compare to P90X

When it comes to working out there are a lot of options out there. ATHLEAN-X, P90X, Insanity, etc. The problem is, not every option is good for everybody. If you're looking for shorter more intense workouts that deliver significant results in 90 days then you might want to look at the ATHLEAN-X training systems.

ATHLEAN-X is built on the principles of "Pro Athlete Training". By moving like an athlete and following the same type of strength training and conditioning it is definitely possible to start looking like one in 90 days.

With a mix of ground based functional training and ATHLEAN Burst Training fat burning conditioning workouts, the complete ATHLEAN-X system allows you to add lean muscle while at the same time losing fat. No more need to choose one over the other now. Couple this with a meal plan that is truly one of the easiest to follow in the industry and you've got as potent a fitness one-two knockout punch as you can get right now.

Created by celebrity pro athlete trainer and former major league baseball physical therapist Jeff Cavaliere, the ATHLEAN-X training systems applies the latest science back into strength and conditioning to produce a workout program that is on the cutting edge (not only in it's structure but in it's delivery methods).

This man is a genius! So real, scientific, and respectable. He really wants to teach the right thing instead of just selling his product. So much respect for this guy

[gersonperez]

This interview was published almost 7 years ago, and now Jeff has become one of the most respected trainers on the Internet. That is simply because this guy really loves his job, and is genuinely trying to help you. Great Job Jeff!

I’ve lost 30 pounds in 4 months following ATHLEAN-X on just YouTube. I have all the respect in the world for Jeff. He has definitely helped me turn my life around.

[cricketylife]

Listen to the sincerity in his voice.... Respect !

[whotube]

Athlean X is the most legit thing on YT.

[jlogan]

i did two rounds on a row of p90X and i lost alot of weight i wont lie but i also noticed i was exhausted the whole time, i was hating some of the longer more over complicated workouts, the meal plan and suppliments were expensive as hell

while i dont do the actual athlen x program ive implimented alot of jeffs points in his vids and have noticed much more favorable results. meal plannings way easier, i added alot more muscle, and i im not burnt out on working out. Tony got me started but Jeff got me where i really wanted to be so respect to both

[dandvoracek]

As a bonus quality, Jeff has always been a good presenter. Not only Jeff helped me with several body issues I just couldn't figure out, he is very nice to just listen to. He is like a youtube father-figure to me, and given his 8 mil subs I guess I am not the only one feeling this way. Thank you, Jeff.

Ok... time for facepulls

90 days gets you far but either way it needs to be for life

[didiofit]

Love athlean x and not plugging one company against the other .. but have to correct you on P90 x .. it actually has a ton of rest and recovery and it’s 60-90 min because the first 15-20 min before and after is strictly warm up and stretching the actual workout is prob only 30 -40 min.. Tons of yoga, stretching, foam rolling mobility and diff workouts every week.. not the same chest workout each day! Just had to correct this for all watching.. just 2 diff concepts one is following along to see form and the exercise the other is more independent watch the video then go and do on your own at the gym! Depends on what works for you best. But definitely Either way it’s up to YOU to put the work in and follow your nutrition for a lifetime not just 90 days!! Thanks again for the info!!

I'm not an advocate for P90X in particular, This is just my thoughts as a consumer.
Athlean X has an awesome channel, but I'm floored by it, it's got so many videos and not a clear regiment.
I find myself looking through a vast library of knowledge not knowing where to start as most of his stuff is out of my level.
P90 to P90X to P90x3 Is some dum dum DVD's I can follow.
I was fat and couldn't do many pushups. So I started p90, I really needed to learn and be told what to do without studying.
I graduated to p90X and I think the muscle confusion isn't about how there is only 1 chest DVD but rather you alternate all the DVDs through the week,
meaning, it's not about doing chest and other chest-related things daily, it's not about doing yoga all week long.
P90X also combines a lot of stretching into its cardio and resistance training as well as a little Kempo martial arts.
I'm not saying you'll get a black belt at the end but you will learn to throw a decent punch and kick.
So after P90x you're not only fit but you have more balance and flexibility.

Once you're in shape P90X3 will put you in the position you want to be which is a 30-minute maintenance workout to keep everything you've worked for.
I can totally see how Jeff's stuff from a fitness guru perspective is better and more robust
But for me, I'm not looking to compete athletically in anything, I like a nice-looking shirtless body but I'm not looking to oil up and body build either.
I'm just trying to say that unless Jeff comes out with his own DVD set. It's really hard to compare these two as apples to apples.
Personally, I am looking for a dum dum regiment to follow. I'm willing to put in the work, I just want to be told what to do. I don't want to study and learn for myself.
Jeff needs to come out on his channel, how to catch up to him.
If you're at this BMI, do this for how many days, then graduate to that. etc.
Again, I think the athlean X channel is chock full of awesome videos and info, I just feel like a kid in an oxford library there, totally lost.

[kennethmanuel]

Jeff, thank you sir. You are the best. I have learnt a lot from your videos and wish that I lived closer so that I could meet you in person and thank you for imparting your knowledge and wisdom for us all to observe and learn from :).

[pooyaazim]

I've been training based on his advice on his YouTube Channel. Have lost 20 kg, built lean muscle and I'm still improving daily. Athlean X is the best training program out there period

So i did a whole round with p90x. Stuck with it did everything, seen changes, i grew mass. Im 138 lbs and everyone could tell I grew. I enjoyed it I i had energy felt great and everything. So I had a major stomach surgery that put me out, i didn't work out for 6 years. Started feeling bad had some blood work done come to find out within 6 years I had acquired hypothyroidism, which really put me down. Noticing at 138 and starting to see a gut feeling bad no energy really down. Found Jeff and started to get motivated. I have been following his workouts and the difference between strength in just a few months and a year of p90x is not a comparison. My stomach looks better I'm more defined leaner. Just a better all around workout. P90x is good but athlene x is great. Plus we have 6 kids to twin that are 6 months so the quick workouts are great. Thanks for this channel.

Been doing AX 1 for 2 weeks, absolutely love it! This guy is changing my view on fitness. Love the fact I'm not working out as much. I have way more energy and am pushing so much harder in my workouts, this guy knows what he's talking about!

[jonwarren]

I share Jeff's stuff all the time on social media. The way he incorporates science and reasons people ask "why" is a no bs approach that backs up the simplest understanding

[carlingram]

Loved his point about Minimum Effective Dose! As a trainer, it seems like people fight against this idea all the time because they have been sold the "more is always better" idea. Thank you, Jeff!

Athlean-X BEST fitness advice on YouTube. Still till this day 2019.

[BenjaminRobles...]

I started with P90X and moved on to a compound steady workout implementing Jeff's ideas. Before that though, I did do P90X, but instead of doing a full workout a day, I would cut it in half in order to add more weight and not burn as much calories, as I getting bigger was my main goal. I still do those workouts now. At the end of the day, P90X is a great workout guide that introduces newbies to an array of free weight exercises and help prepare you for the heavier compound exercises. It's a great idea to integrate both compound and free weight exercises into a workout program.
