Athlean-X has some great stuff on biomechanics and injury prevention. His physique looks great and I don’t care what weights he uses- the other guys are shitheads.

We both know everybody on social media expands on the truth, lol. I kinda expect that. But the guy has truly saved my shoulders!

Soul,

I can't take it.

Next you'll be telling me that Santa and the Easter Bunny aren't real.

Yaaaahhhh!  I'm going insane. Yaaaaaah!

Biggest fitness story of 2020, which also tells you how far it's fallen.

Cavaliere was wrong to use them, and the big mistake he made was shouting out the numbers. If he just let theater of mind work it's magic, he'd have an out by claiming they were for film production. The minute you start claiming specific numbers, that moves it from a little white lie, to something more nefarious.

Now the only redemption he has is to do the claimed lifts in an official or semi-official setting.

On the roid thing, not a huge deal to me, I've been around so long that I just figure they're all on something.

----------------------

If I'm Jeff though, I'd just keep pumping out videos like nothing happened. He's big enough that he can weather this storm for the few weeks it will last. He gains nothing by addressing it. That Doucette post he made was a misstep.

Jeff is a good guy.  His content is very helpful and he knows a lot.  He and Mountain Dog have the best videos.

Jeff is prob not on steroids. I think he weighed himself at 168 lbs at one point. He does look to be using some fake weights at times though.

Or maybe I would just be wrong? Nah. Some of us can build substantial muscle without roids. Hes not big. He’s just really cut.

Maybe I messed him up with someone else I could of sworn he said he was 195 at 5’6 and I was very shocked.160-170 makes much more sense.

I've watched videos from both of these guys.  Can't say I'm a fan of either for various reasons (Doucette mostly because the yelling gets annoying very quickly)
Unless these weights are fake Doucette was legitimately strong as fuck

Doucette was / is very strong. He was a very high level 198'er for many years -
