5 Huge Workout Cheats (WHY YOU CAN’T BUILD MUSCLE!)
Stop cheating yourself out of muscle gains here…
If you find that you either can’t build muscle or are just having a hard time adding muscle size, it could be the way you’re working out that is the problem. Far too often, guys will lean on the advice of lifting weight as heavy as possible to build new muscle without any regard for how that weight is lifted in the first place. What is worse is, if you let it, your body will move that weight using every compensation and workout cheat it can. When you rely on workout cheats too often, you greatly limit your ability to pack on muscle size and you’re begging for an injury at the same time.
In this video, I show you 5 of the most common upper body lifting cheats that rob you of muscle gains. These exercise cheats affect the size of your triceps, back, shoulders and even your chest to some degree. You will likely instantly recognize many of these workout mistakes since you either do them yourself or have seen someone else do them in your gym.
To correct these exercise mistakes you have to be sure to concentrate on your workout form all the time. As you fatigue during your workout this becomes harder and harder to do. That said, it becomes even more important to do so as you get tired, since ignoring this can quickly lead to an injury that can keep you out of the gym for a long time. If you are unable to go to the gym, your ability to build new muscle becomes that much more impossible!
Pay close attention to the slight variations in movement that occur during popular exercises like the pullup, shoulder lateral and front raises, one armed rows and triceps pushdowns. Each exercise is rife with cheats that prevent you from seeing the most muscle gains if you do them. You can fix these workout mistakes by making sure to perform the exercises with a careful eye on how you move the weight and not just where you’re moving the weights.
If you want to stop making these workout cheats and mistakes in your workouts and start adding more muscle size by doing so, be sure to head to and get the athlean-x Training System. Professional athletes and average Joes turn to A-X to help them build ripped, athletic muscle without sacrificing the health of their bodies and joints in the process.

Then what do you call people who use tren, deca, anavar, testosterone etc.. big time cheats or so called bodybuilders there lame at least you look legit healthy and lean that’s why I take your advice
This was one of the first videos I watched way back in 2018. I learned why I was always getting hurt. It was because muscles were working that shouldn't have been
No one:
Me searching for this video to cheat on a assignment:
Stg I’ll complain at the end of a set I can’t feel anything and I legit do half these things lmao
Using the front delt on bicep curls.
I have problems with barbell rows
At 55 I’ve been in and out of gyms all over the world for 40 years and I’ve learned more from Jeff’s 10 minute videos than any coach or trainer I’ve ever come across. He truly is remarkable and willing shares his incredible knowledge with the masses.
Just like Arnold's training tip: "Shock the muscle" https://youtu.be/o9zCgPtsups
Jeff has not changed he’s probably like 45 or 50
so much help thanku from nepal
I know its an old video, but when doing single arm dumbbell rows, the last hard reps I find myself lowering my chest to bring that arm further back. I keep my shoulders parallel with the floor and don't rotate as you mentioned. Is this a form of cheating I should stray away from as well?
2:55 he dabs
I am not cheating😂😂
His back is in a perfect pattern omg!
maybe this has been covered in other videos, but what are your guys opinion about resting weeks? like once a month or once every two months?
Who else feels like a noob after discovering this channel.
jeffs right pec has Parkinson's
5:15 “Endgame” too soon Jeff
I just bought the ATHLEAN-X training system this week and its great to get started in the gym, but man does it also hurt to work your body in this Athletic way that most of us simple are not used to doing. Also in all honesty I am so happy to be supporting Jeff because he is THE REAL DEAL and having him in my head when I train helps. I will probably never meet Jeff Cavaliere but still I feel that I cannot let him down when training after the system he has laid out for "me" and that maybe a strange kind of motivation but if it works it works. Cant wait to see where the road leads next.
I feel like I cheat because I can't reach full extension with my right elbow. Can gains still be made without full extension on tris chest shoulders?
Never notice the facial hair before
Did he just assume my chin was lower than my eyes?
thats why isloated machines are good. there is vid of you preferring the cheating bicep curl
Cheat on girls not curls
Thank you so much for this video. I don't have many friends who go to the gym and I just started going myself so this helped a lot.
Great video 👍👍👍
Hi jeff I'm 46 and new to this fitness. I've been researching your videos on you tube for information and where to start and what to do..I'm just on my first week of training and I'm using your YouTube videos to help me and my technique. Just want to say thank you for uploading these.been a revelation so thank you. Robbo131171@hotmail.co.uk. ….
Work out is my main Hobby's until my death but I am not going to supper star or monster work out. thank you.
How many people could do pull ups holding at the top and talking like it's nothing. Amazing
I hate it when the low back and delts talk to each other.
Just got VACed at the gym yesterday, m'here to get it removed.
You have my utmost respect Jeff. But in complete honesty I don’t really know why you don’t cater to the obese who are trying to lose weight and build muscle. Your videos are mostly targeted at either seasoned lifters who want to squeeze that last bit, or thin individuals who want to put on muscle. I’d suggest you be more inclusive. I’m obese who’s working hard in the gym and dieting religiously and, as much as I love your channel and videos, I feel your advice would only apply to me after I’d become in a good shape. Don’t look down at obese hard working people. Thanks!
That’s why gyms have tons of mirrors, yeah? Well, checking form AND flexing.
Man he looks awesome!
