This show needs a small studio audience of bros sitting on coolers wearing sunglasses and drinkin bud ice

My favorite part of these is listening to you guys breathe HEAVY

So just some quick Googles. Comparing Toma's personal best (256kg total) to the 2022 North America open series 1 men's results, she would tie 1st for the 61kg category

I'm absolutely loving this show. The candid conversations that happens during these training sessions are very enjoyable and I look forward to the videos every time I see a new one! Cheers, Dylan and Zack! Keep it coming ❤️

That lav mic is really picking up the breathing, lol. One thing you might try is buying two shotgun mics with wind shields / blimps and c-stands. Then just set those up. One facing the bar area from the front, pointed down to standing face area. The other next to the chair, pointed down to face area. Then just do a level check before you start and do the majority of talking in those two areas. Should sound good.

Lol my notif cut off "strong" so I thought you guys were trashing our girl Toma

For those unaware, 6% bodyfat is quite literally bodybuilding stage conditioned lean... that video by Geoffrey Verity Schoefield basically calls out AthleanX's bullshit

The question should be, is he ever right?

How did Zack clone himself?

Man, I need this type of stuff in real life so much. There was a time, when I was working at an oil rig, and there were a little group of gym bros, that showed up regularly, and it was so much fun to chat with them. Now I live in the capital, but my gym sessions are lonely as hell. I miss that sense of community

That kyriakos grizzly synthwave track at the beginning of the video. I need it for the workout. For the difficult.

Fun format!! Keep it going!! Also, the more Tomanator features the better!

I LOVE this format!!! First one I have seen, and I'm hooked!

Less than 4 mins in and I've already learnt some gold dust. Excellent, subscribed

Toma moved up to 71 for Paris and word is that she PCPP 130 in training. You guys better up your game.

Highly entertaining!!! You guys are awesome!

Im on a point where I’m sacrificing way too much for this sport and I started thinking fuck it bro let it be and live a nice life. But life without weightlifting is like a bicycle without wheels. You reminded me of this. Thank you guys greetings from beautiful but corrupted Greece

This type of content is just amazing. Its like having the training partner I dont have :')

0:25 kudos to the editor for adding in Grizzly 👏 👏 🏅

You were both right about the Khabib vs Ferguson fight. They tried to make this fight a couple of times.

*whispers* "i got 6 muscle ups today" 😂

Really love the kyriakos grizzly rage scream in the intro!!!

powerful stuff from the lads

dude, i love the lift companion videos

What happened to the Justin Nault podcast??

Please tell us about the deleted podcast.

The music. Share it with the people. Please. I've been asking since episode 2 bro. It SLAPS.

9:37 this is definitely true for me, i like to film my first and last set of sqauts (for example) to track progress, and sometimes i almost fail my second to last set then absolutely smash the final set since I'm recording it

Loredana Toma has been hella quiet since this dropped

I need that intro song. Jam to that all day 💪👍🏼

“The best outcomes come from calculated chaos” is my new life motto

...wha? Are you guys saying a 400 pound squat and 500 pound deadlift is laughable? Sure plenty of people have done better but most people who lift weights never get to these numbers. I would absolutely call these numbers more than ideal for the general population.

as far being "lean" while performing well goes, I just take inspiration from 105kg (overweight) Ilya. By that I mean just don't go over 20% bodyfat but don't go overboard and cut your way into less than 12% bodyfat.

'she wouldn't even talk and it would be so sick'.... Yes. This.

I was dying at his response to Zacks statement!! 2:05

Thanks to Zack for me finding out about Loredana Toma - the goddess of weightlifting.

If you made this into a podcast format I’d listen to especially for all the weightlifting ASMR (bar drop, foot slam etc.)

Is it weird that fcking I love this show (and channel) and I don't even lift? Btw, greetings from Brazil.

The intro music rules, gets me every time.

In regards to the body fat debate. I've personally been an extremely lean college athlete in the 6-8% range, I've been a fluffy 230 lbs bloatlord in the 20-21% range. You need to find what your floor and ceiling are for effective performance. That's gonna depend on genetics and what you're training for. Mine personally is 10-18%, but I know people predisposed to being leaner that would likely drop those ranges by 2%, and some people who are pridisposed to holding body fat that would increase them by 2%. I think any sort of universal "standard" is really unrealistic and too nebulous to worry about.

Zack, where can I find the theme, man? Absolutely smashing

This is the show with the best intro on youtube

Love the intro

He's always wrong. Too bad his fan base is too blind, stupid and defensive to accept any type of criticism towards the guy, which ends up giving this dude credit.

This is the weightlifting version of Bob & Brad Best Physical Therapists On The Internets channel lol

Hey Dylan, Thanks for Saving Steven

How is that blue lawn chair? Saw those at menards and thought about grabbing a couple. I love Lift Companion!

Dude I can't be the first to ask where the hell can I get the Lift Companion Theme song? that shit is fire and I need it for my gym playlist

15:32 this reminded me of that story when Mat lost the Pig event at the CF Games, the first thing he did was get back at the Pig and practice the hell out of it because it was a hole in his game. If there's something to take away from Mat, it's that making your weakness into your future strength will definitely push you to the next level.

small things like grizzly screaming during the intro give me joy

Little Jeff is seldom right about anything.

This is getting out of hand… now there are two of them!

Someone told the truth finally,thanks Zack

Jeff is killing your gainz 🤣

New objective: get dr disrespect on lift companion

that mic breathing is intense lol

Does anyone know where I can find that podcast Zach did with the dude talking calories in calories out ?!

Need some sort of reference to the intro song

Can't be an athletic man if you are above 6%BF according to my man, Jeffrey Cavalier

"If you're able to go an hour without stressing about your recovery..." Oh no, I haven't had a protein shake since lunch! shitshitshit brb

Why is your video censored now?

you guys have an opinion on wraps vs slevese?

What video of his you guys referring to?

Love it

Toma ❤

Love the guys being dudes format

Loredana aint ever gonna recover from this one

Prepare for the Toma simps. Actually it's too late. I'm already here.

Next on Athlean x: Is Zach telander killing your gains?

OPTIMAL!

I’m once again asking for intro music 🥹

I rather enjoy this new, retrowave Telander

Wait a 400lbs back squat isn’t strong?! 😅 Ffs. And I’m like 30% body fat

Wow. Testu No Ai. You are so right at 7:15 when you say, "You know how freaky you would look if you 5'5" 180lbs, and 6% BF." One of the silly things that Jeff says in his video is that 7% body fat should only be described as 7% body fat and people shouldn't use other adjectives. Well, the thing is Jeff's sub 10% looks a lot less impressive than guys who've eaten a little and put on more muscle mass on their frame because not all 7% is the same.

I think seeing our boi Tellie at the Crossfit Games putting some stank on the bar would be very fun to watch. That damn Dozer has me saying that now every time I snatch - gotta put some stank on the bar.

13:34 I keep injuring myself, so what he says here is hard for me lol

6:57 Both stories are true but for different dates.

Ha, there’s two of them.

For the algo gainz

She’s a 71 now, not a 64.

Jeff’s top 20 includes curls! Athletic training???? I give credit for instructions for face pulling including overhead pressing movement. Two ropes is much better than one. But he’s a PT, so corrective exercise is in his lane. Everything else, not as accurate.

Zack, your bros mic is like in his nose. All I hear is brrrrrreathingggg ahhh

the doctor said, Im sorry, there’s nothing we can do, youre just too sick with it 😉

Some really heavy breathing going on.

I am around 7% year round or at least well under 10% without trying to cut (just eating and training normal, not like cutting for a fight); but you're totally right as I'm in a strength phase now it'd be counter productive to focus on staying that lean at the expense of strength gains. As Dan John says, keep the goal the goal (if you chase two rabbits you go home hungry).

Can we get a 120 in the chat

I think after 1.5mil subs, athleans target audience outgrew it's effectiveness. It needs to be dumbed down a bit. I think it's decent general information. But not for people past a certain experience level

6:50 Damn, Telander just got exposed as a friggin mma casual. The khabib v ferguson fight was cancelled like 3-4 times. Khabib famously pulled out because he could not make weight. Hence why Ferguson was calling him tiramisu in the lead up to their most recent scheduled fight which referenced Khabib eating tiramisu when he was less than a week out from the fight last time. Unfortunately, Ferguson would get injured during this fight week which casual Telander pointed out.

Toma

Aghhhhhh

STOP! This video is killing your gains!

Loredana is stronger than athleanx

The constant heavy breathing from Dylan is a bit distracting TBH.

That kind of laughing about "the other guys" 400+ Squat, pisses me off a little bit. That's just elitism and can be very discouraging for people how are not that strong yet (or never will be). Dude weights around 165 and also has a 550 deadlift. I don't think you get there without knowing anything about strength training and "just having a good time" in the gym. Also, no one said that this is an "ideal, good" strength. He only tried to make the point, that a formerly very skinny guy can get pretty strong without bulking and cutting.

If you’re looking to recomp and lose fat, Jeff is the guy to listen too. All other elements of fitness tho 😬 . Leanness is his brand so he forces it the center of all programs, regardless of the specific goal

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bro she's 💉

fake weights jeff
