Exercise DVDs are shocking cheap.

I think he is a good as a physical therapist but a little iffy when it comes to training. I do like some of his stuff when it comes to injury prevention or working out with an injury. I don't have experience with his paid programs so I was wondering if they are different or not vs stuff he puts out for free.

I have a honest critique about him. His content is marketed for beginners but it isn't optimal for beginners. If you are intermediate level then the stuff he shows is kind of redundant. He always has these videos like so and so is killing your gains. He will flip flop on the issue every so often a few months down the line. I get why he needs to make these videos because these type of video titles are what will capture the eyes of new viewers. They want to learn the secret method and avoid killing their gains blah blah. Other youtubers like Ryan Humiston do stuff like that. The thing I didn't quite understand was the whole fake weights scandal. He is a DPT by trade? He doesn't need to use fake weights for a demo.

I’ve never tried his paid programs as I feel his YouTube videos were enough for me.. I’m also not a beginner I’ve been working out my whole life. I just had to make tweaks as I was using my front delts during bench press, and my traps were engaging too much when I did shoulder lateral raises - had no idea I was doing em wrong.

The fake weight controversy doesn’t make sense as he never lifts heavy weights lol he’s not even about PRs. But yah a lot of guys hated on him before and I feel it’s because he was making too much sense.
 
The one thing I wish I didn’t learn from athlean x is that the shoulder “upright row” is bad for u. I feel like it’s such a great way to bulk up your shoulders mainly side delts, but it is so bad for your shoulder joints. Thus I avoid it

You should not have learned that.

It was not the right thing to learn.
 
You don't even need dvds. Margaret Richard had an exercise show on PBS. I never missed an episode, back then.
 
I used to do p90x. That shit is insane. It did get good results but it was exhausting to keep up that intensity day after day. I think I made it 2 months before getting injured.
 
20" tv though?

Flat panels are practically free now.

You should've at least got a 42.

Holy shit this was what I referred to. My work computer blocked this shit and they were right as I would have rubbed one out on principle.

Kiana & her female friends helped me improve my right arm, wrist and grip strength considerably back then
 
Used to love cheap p0rn dvds. going to the shithoel part of town, praving the dirty people in the p0rnstore and looking through bins of dvds was awesome

internets just made it too damn easy

When I was a kid growing up in Germany I grew facial hair as early as I could so that I could slip into the pron shops, and check out all the nasty, weirdo hardcore German pron that was such a big part of my childhood and teen years. It worked too and I never got carded or anything. What kind of sucked is that the pron shop I'd go to sometimes had a stunning college girl as the cashier so I'd be embarrassed to go up with a copy of Anal Goliath 7 or whatever, and I'd slip back out and hope next time I got the bored old dude instead
 
I want to buy an exercise DVD, but only if the instructor is a hot woman fully nude or close to it.

I did see a series of fully nude exercise videos in the desert of this one porno woman who frequently was on Howard Stern Show, but too much plastic surgery on the face and boobs.
 
I used to do Insanity workout. Shit was tough as hell. And those hot extras made it tougher.
 
Nobody owns a DVD player anymore. I will be surprised if anyone's modern PC even has a CD/DVD slot.

A lot of these oldie programs aren't really optimal. P90x if I remember correctly has you doing 7 a day workouts. You might as well just find a better program and individualize it for yourself.

I am confused that you think Blu ray players don't also play dvds.

Depends on personal tolerance. You might be able to still do them safely based on the shape of your clavicle and scapula. Jeff is always fear mongering on his channel.

You got nocebo'd bro.
