• The Dr. DRE Way – Be Inspired To Build Lean Muscle at ANY Age!

  Posted: March 2, 2011

  

  While watching the Grammy’s a couple weeks ago I was shocked to see what I thought to be the Incredible Hulk come striding onto the stage to rap alongside Eminem. While it wasn’t Dr. Bruce Banner…it was a Dr…Dr. Dre. Or at least, who the television was telling me was Dr. Dre! You see, growing up, the Dre I knew of started out as the skinny guy with the bad attitude in the 80′s…transformed into the pudgy guy with the bad attitude in the 90′s….and then lost the attitude and apparently the keys to the recording studio at the turn of the century as he disappeared for 10 years only to make his return to the hip hop scene just months ago!

• INTRODUCING….????

  Posted: February 21, 2011

  

  You know when a job is so big that it requires help from a higher power to figure it all out or get it done?  Well, unfortunately, with the state of the current fitness industry…trying to tackle a blog dealing with the myths and untruths in the that plague it seemed like a monumental task to me.  So big in fact that I felt that I had to bring in a little help.  Enter my faithful companion….MR. X.

  NO…..not that Mr. X!  That’s the title given to YOU, the one who achieves the greatest transformation following the AthLEAN-X program (as did the first winner Ben May).

• THE GREATEST CHEST WORKOUT EVER HAS ARRIVED!

  Posted: October 25, 2011

  

  If you scour the gyms of America you’re likely to find guys all over seeking something as if they were looking for the Holy Grail. Actually scratch that analogy… I think this one would be more valued if they actually were to find it! What is it you ask? It’s the secret to a bigger chest!

  You may even be out there nodding your head as you read this because quite frankly…you’d kill for a bigger chest as well! Believe me, I know. I can remember as a 12 year old seeing Ravishing Rick Rude (former WWF wrestler and huge, ripped dude) on television on Saturday morning wrestling thinking to myself… man how the hell did he get that chest?!? I’d look down at my nearly inward caving chest and think… I’ve got a LONG way to go before it looks like that! Who knew that guys could be just as concerned with being flat chested as a female!?!

• THE ATHLEAN EXPENDABLES WORKOUT IS HERE!

  Posted: August 12, 2010

  You guys have asked for more of the fast paced, fat shredding, heart pounding, super intense workouts like the Iron Man Workout and the “4 Minutes of Hell” Workouts!  Well…let the hookup begin!

  In paying homage to the guys who helped to inspire me to get in shape so many years ago and to do what I do for a living now….I recently headed out to the field with nothing but a pair of sneakers and a kettlebell.  Yes…old school indeed.  But what else would you expect when you realize that the last time these guys (for the most part) were starring in their own action blockbusters was almost 20 years ago or more!

  Now THAT’s what I call longevity!

  So with that…let’s ramp up the intensity and get set for the AthLEAN Expendables Workout! You might be calling this one a “Man-Maker” after you try it and complete it!  Yes…I fully expect you to complete it!

  Stay Strong,

  Jeff

  PS.  Are you still thinking that you’re just too old for AthLEAN-X?!?  Hopefully, if nothing else, the Expendables movie lays those thoughts to rest permanently.  Stallone at the age of 62 is still jacked!  Stone Cold, Lundgren, Li, Statham, the list goes on and on.  Not ready for AARP!  Nope, instead they’re representing ATHLEAN!  Stop sitting on the sidelines….JOIN THEM and JOIN THE OTHERS who’ve become members of TEAM ATHLEAN already!

  
  

• TOO OLD TO BUILD MUSCLE?!?

  Posted: August 9, 2010

  One of the most common questions I get, particularly from those guys in their 40′s, 50′s and beyond who are looking for a workout program to follow that will work WITH them instead of AGAINST them is…..“Jeff, should I even bother or am I just too old to build muscle”? While I am fully prepared to offer an educated response to this question (having answered it at least 500 times now in my life!), the thing is….this one always gets me a little upset.  No, not in the way of being angry….but more so legitimately saddened by the thought that there truly are some guys out there who think they don’t DESERVE to look GREAT beyond a certain age or something! I have always firmly believed that age (just like bodyweight, the amount of weight you lift, how fast you can drive your car, etc) is just a number!

  Don’t believe me?  Check out the new movie coming out this week called The Expendables.  The cast is filled with 50+ year old “former” action heroes.  Why do I say “former”?  Because one look at the trailer and it looks as if these guys never went away to begin with…having just picked up kicking butt from where they left off the last time we saw them star in an action movie (for some…10+ years ago)!  Ummm….someone forgot to give these guys the message that they’re too old to be doing this!

  But do you see my point?  The point is….they’re not too old, and neither are YOU! It is quite possible to build new muscle at ANY age!  As a matter of fact, studies have shown that while greater care has to be taken during the process to avoid excessive muscle breakdown and overtraining, it is still possible to build pounds of new muscle well into your 80′s!!  Yes…you’re 80′s!!  Still wondering if that 45 year old body of yours is ready for a trade-in?

  It’s just that you need a sensible approach to getting the job done.  That said, while I have a tremendous amount of respect for a certain spokesman for a certain “other” 90 day training program (and the incredible physique that he displays at his 50+ years of age), I don’t have the same high regard for the program itself.  Many a male has come up to me, frustrated and run down after attempting the program and being unable to put on any significant muscle size.  As a matter of fact, they’ve lost size during those 90 days.  The problem?  Too much being asked of the body.  While I said that it’s certainly possible to gain new muscle at any age, it doesn’t mean that you can abuse your body and it will still readily respond.

  As a matter of fact, the older you get the more care you must take to ensure that you do get consistent muscle growth.  Workouts have to get shorter not longer.  Intensity has to get greater….not less!  Exercises have to become more varied not remain the same month in and month out. Meal plans have to become easier and not more complex and time consuming.  The body has to be challenged functionally and not just in the nonfunctional ways that rigid gym machines provide.  This and so many other factors contribute to the success of a 40+ year old guy being able to not only just put on muscle, but to defy popular opinion…and add significant muscle (and burn significant amounts of fat as well!) consistently year in and year out!

  Does this type of program exist?  Well…of course it does.  And it’s called the AthLEAN-X Training System.  It’s my answer to all of my guys out there who have asked this critical question of “Am I too old to build muscle?”…knowing that if I were to let them find their own answer they would eventually succumb to the belief that they were since the workout answers at their disposal would have made them feel every bit their age and no less discouraged.  That’s garbage and simply not true.

  So with that guys…lets form our own version of the “X” Pendables!  I’m currently accepting applications for my “senior” most group of guys that are doing AthLEAN-X and kicking a#&!

  I know of some of you already!  But I want to hear from ALL of you!  Send me your suXXess stories and become part of the AthLEAN “X”Pendables! We’d love to hear from you and we’d love to use your stories to inspire others like you who have asked the question and might have been ready to give up working out forever…until that is…you proved that it’s never too late!  Really looking forward to hearing what you’ve got to say!

  Stay Strong,

  Jeff

  PS.  Maybe when they film the sequel to The Expendables….I’ll nominate my crew of  Team AthLEAN X-Pendables vs. the Stallone led crew and you guys can all battle it out on screen to settle the score as to who’s  more fit?  I’ll put my money on my guys any day of the week (even though in the back of my mind I’ve got a sense that Stallone will be doing action movies into his 80′s for crying out loud!).  That said, if you’re looking to get a head start on the right kind of program and are now fully convinced (as you should be) that it’s NEVER TOO LATE TO START, then CLICK HERE to get the AthLEAN-X Training System! This is the only program developed by an actual trainer to elite celebrities and athletes, a physical therapist with an understanding about injury prevention, and an innovator when it comes to exercise selection (so that even after years of working out or thinking you’ve seen it all)…always bringing you unique ways to keep your body guessing (and growing) well into your 50′s, 60′s, 70′s and beyond!

  
  

• YOUR TNT QUESTIONS ANSWERED!!

  Posted: July 30, 2010

  

  In the buzzing anticipation of the release of the NEW AthLEAN-X TNT Series next week…I wanted to take make sure I answered ALL of the most commonly asked questions you guys have been asking so you can be ready to go as soon as this groundbreaking new product is released.  That said….no time to waste!

  1.  What does TNT stand for?

  Well…as you can see above, TNT is short for what I call “Target Nuclear Training”.  The concept is simple.  Zero in on those stubborn muscle groups (we all know what they are!) and create quick explosive growth using unique set and rep schemes with advanced tactics to eke out every possible ounce of untapped muscle.

  2.  Why did I create TNT?

  One reason and one reason only.  Because you guys asked for it!  With the incredible gains you’ve been making since being introduced to the unique style of AthLEAN-X Training…you wanted more!  You’ve wanted to know if you could work in just 1 extra bicep workout a week or 1 extra chest workout….to squeeze out even more ripped athletic muscle than you’ve already been able to create on AthLEAN-X!  So, I went out and did just that.  I created my ultimate “AthLEAN-Xcelerator”….my TNT DVD series.  Combine these TNT workouts with AthLEAN-X and the results are almost scary!

  3.  So TNT doesn’t replace the AthLEAN-X Training System?

  NO!  Definitely not.  TNT is again…what I call my AthLEAN-Xcelerator!  It’s the “slow to grow” muscle annihilator.  For instance, combined with the unique workouts and set/rep scheme that AthLEAN-X puts your body through during the 90 days…TNT adds on that final blast once a week to the specific muscle or muscles (that have been causing you nothing but headaches with every other program you’ve tried) and creates the fastest route to an AthLEAN body when time just really isn’t on your side.  The extra work from the TNT workout can ignite the AthLEAN-X System’s muscle growth potential and fat burning capabilities!  This doesn’t matter if you’re JUST starting AthLEAN-X or are going through it for the 2nd or 3rd time.

  4.  When is the official release date?

  OK…for the first time revealed here…the “AthLEAN-X TNT DVD Accelerator  Series” will be released WEDNESDAY August 4th at 12:00 EST! Just when you thought the explosions ended a month earlier here in the States (with the 4th of July!)…along comes TNT to make last month’s fireworks look like a few fireflies floating in the night!

  5.  What muscle groups will I be able to target along with my AthLEAN-X Training Workouts when you release them next Wednesday?

  Knowing that lots of you guys are always looking to develop bigger biceps and diamond cut chests…I spent the last 5 months coming up with two workouts that could easily be integrated into your current workout program that will address these “Most Wanted Muscles” and FORCE them into even more growth than you thought you were capable of (especially before you came across AthLEAN-X Style Training!)

  6.  Is it just one extra workout per DVD?

  Actually, each TNT DVD comes with two workouts on it.  One you can do at your gym and one that you can do ENTIRELY AT HOME with NOTHING more than dumbbells, a pullup bar, a piece of tubing…or your own bodyweight….AT MAX!  For instance, the Home Chest Workout uses nothing more than you and a piece of tubing!  Oh yeah, and it’s done inside of a 10 x 10 sq foot space to show that NO, in this case Size Doesn’t Matter!  You’ll be able to train anywhere, anytime and with anything.  Perfect to plug into your AthLEAN-X Training System schedule when you might be traveling for business, on vacation, or just feeling masochistic!

  7.  How long are the workouts?

  Just like each of the workouts in the AthLEAN-X Training System, the TNT workouts are brief, intense and results producing!  The workouts seamlessly integrate in their styles and therefore compliment perfectly.  With ANY AthLEAN-X style workout you’ll NEVER find yourself spending more than 30-40 minutes working out.  Why?  Because it’s not only NOT necessary but it actually is preventing you from getting the body you thought you were getting when you invested in those “other” misleading 90 minute, 7 day a week workout systems!

  8.  How much will it cost?

  It depends on who you are…lol…seriously!  Each TNT DVD costs $37 (with the ability to buy the first two at a combined price of just $49.95!)  However, if you’re already following my AthLEAN-X Training System and have purchased the system at ANY POINT before the release of TNT next Wednesday…I’ll be throwing in a special discount code for you that allows you to get them for even less!  Once again….it pays to be a loyal and valued member of TEAM ATHLEAN!!!

  9.  How are these workouts different than your youtube workouts?

  Good question!  A lot different.  Now that I’m NOT confined to the 10 minute time limit that youtube imposes on me to show you what to do, I’m literally able to pull out ALL the stops to show you EVERYTHING I’ve got to building muscle as quickly as humanly possible.  I even set these workouts up to allow you to literally TRAIN ALONG SIDE ME in real time and see the most important elements of any workout that my youtube videos don’t let me.  Things like:

  -How much weight I use to create a “hypergrowth response”

  -How long I rest in between sets (or more importantly…how short!)

  -How hard I push each set when I’m looking to create that simultaneous muscle building/fat burning impact (Finally I get to answer the question that you’ve wanted to know for months now!)

  -The exact set, reps, and timing scheme that you need to follow to take an ordinary workout you can read in a magazine and turn it into an actual “RESULTS PRODUCING” workout that you can’t find in ANY magazine!

  -Exclusive “between sets” chatter straight from my “mid-workout mind” that reveals some of my greatest strategies for getting more muscular and ripped (nothing held back…or censored…here!)

  -And much more!

  10.  Can you just release these DVD’s already?!?  I can’t wait to add them to my current AthLEAN-X Workouts!

  I know I know!  My apologies for taking so long to get these to you guys.  That said…as we know, good things come to those who wait!  In this case, GREAT THINGS.  But don’t wait for EVERYTHING.  Make sure you head HERE to get your AthLEAN-X Training System before next Wednesday so you can get your body started on the “AthLEAN-X Style” training that will prime your body for Xtreme Results and also to secure those ‘TEAM ATHLEAN’ benefits that will allow you to save even more off your purchase next week!

  Til then,

  Stay Strong

  Jeff!

  
  

• WHO'S YOUR FITNESS INSPIRATION? MY TOP 3 MUSCLE MOTIVATORS

  Posted: July 16, 2010

  

  When I look at the direction my career has taken these days and I think back to where it all began, I realize I have three people to thank…and not one of them has ever even met me!  Those three guys are Arnold, Stallone and Ravishing Rick Rude! I know…laugh all you want, but I’m a product of the 80′s.  Having always been a fan of action (be it my own participation in sports, watching my favorite action heroes on the big screen, or getting caught up in the male soap opera that is WWE Wrestling) I always found entertainment in the fast paced, high risk, high reward activities.

  That said, it was hard not too watch these guys and wonder to myself as I’d look down at my chest absent of any size and definition, or barely visible one-pack abs and say “How the heck did these guys get to look like this?!?”.  It seemed impossible to say the least and I couldn’t even imagine the right place to start.  But the key is that I started.

  Little by little, I’d read the magazines….copy some of the workouts (little did I know back then that 27 sets for chest actually WAS NOT a good thing!) and I made at least a little progress.  Any time I might be on the verge of giving up and leaving the lifting to someone else, they’d go and do it again. Yep…they’d come out with yet another sequel!  Just when I was ready to pack it in, out comes Rocky III.  I’d see Stallone getting more ripped and more muscular than ever and think…”ok, time to get back to the gym again!”

  I’d quickly fall back into the overtraining rut and then Arnold would come out with Predator!  I mean geez…the freaking guy took down an Alien with that body, if I could just get to half as muscular I might be able to impress a girl or two in middle school right?!?

  Saturday mornings were filled with WWF Wrestling (WWE now).  Not only did the ridiculous story lines keep me glued to the tube for every match but so did the fitness levels these guys were in.  Little did I know then that the majority of this was all chemically enhanced shall we say?  Didn’t matter though.  I saw a look that inspired me to want to do something about my body and that was enough to change my life. The bug had bitten me, and from those early days…fitness became more than just part of my life, it became my lifestyle.

  So with that I ask you….who inspired you? Maybe you want to look like a Mr. Olympia?  Maybe you want to look like David Beckham?  Taylor Lautner?  Terrell Owens? Rinaldi?  Who is your Sly/Arnold/Rick Rude?  I’d love to hear from you.  Til then…keep pressing on and become what you know you can be.

  Stay Strong,

  Jeff

  Ever wish you could get the body of your favorite pro athlete, celebrity or Hollywood notable but aren’t sure what the secrets are that they know and you don’t?  Don’t be left in the dark.  Find out from the guy that trains them with celebrity fitness trainer Jeff Cavaliere’s AthLEAN-X Training System.  Look like a celebrity without having to be one in just 90 days.

  
  

• TAYLOR LAUTNER WORKOUT SECRETS REVEALED – HOW TO GET BIGGER BICEPS!

  Posted: July 4, 2010

  Anytime an actor puts on lots of lean muscle for a role it gets people talking.  When it’s 30lbs of muscle  it REALLY gets people talking!

  Now, I’m not naive enough to think that people aren’t going to believe that maybe a little “supplement” help had a lot to do with the gains.  And in some cases…it’s been proven to be true (Stallone admitted to using HGH and steroids to prep for his roles…and crushed my thoughts of him forever as my boyhood idol in the process!)

  However, with the young Taylor Lautner I’m giving the benefit of the doubt…for one reason…He uses very solid workout techniques!

  You’ve got to see how I take one of his secret workout techniques and apply it to supercharge biceps growth!  Quite frankly, this could be the greatest bicep exercise you will EVER do!

  Add this exercise to your NEXT workout and see how a mastery of strength curves can put you ahead of the curve when it comes to building muscle fast!  What better time than the 4th of July to add some explosive new training tactics to your arsenal?!?

  Have a happy, safe and healthy Holiday weekend!

  Stay Strong,

  Jeff

  PS. Ever think the Pro Athletes and Celebs had a secret “edge” over you when it comes to building muscle fast? Think again. I’m here to make sure you get the same chance they do. If you haven’t already come on board…Team AthLEAN is accepting new members ==> CLICK HERE !
