    Most of it is okay, but then he'll say weird stuff like claiming that dumbbell rows are dangerous. It's a way of getting people scared of other fitness influencers "oh, Jeff said that would hurt me!" Then, he sells 100 dollar programs. For context, one of the best programs out there, Stronger by Science is $10. 5/3/1 is like $40 for hundreds of programs.

    He also used to do "functional fitness" where he'd do dumb shit like explosive cross body curls.

    If you're looking for legit fitness influencers, go with Renaissance Periodization, Greg Nuckols, Juggernaut Training Systems, Alan Thrall, Tom Merick, Atranik,

      I haven't seen him say that, unless you are referring to him saying upright rows, in which case he is correct, upright rows are bad and unnecessary, and he isn't the only one saying that.

        No, it was dumbbell rows with a knee on the bench. He was claiming it would give you a hernia. I know to do lateral raises and strict press instead of upright rows and behind the head press.

          Oh, I found the video you are talking about which is kinda weird given that he did a video before explaining how to do the exercise. Idk about his alternative, it may indeed be better. He does fear monger sometimes though. Wouldn't call it dangerous, it's kind of the opposite, more on the debilitating side.
