He makes good content occasionally but his bad content / fake weights just overshadows everything else. Some persons have accused him of using fake weights in his fitness videos. I use to be an Athlean X fanboy until I discovered Alec Enkiri, where he made a point the issues of AX and CurleanX just solidified my distrust with Jeff.
For him to straight up ignore it, to me, it’s like he thinks he’s up on this cloud and he’s looking down on everybody else and they don’t matter. Jeff Cavaliere may not be a movie star or a musician or pro athlete but he. “So many people are talking about it and making it known and proving that the weights are fake.
“It’s not even like one person mentioned it and then he kind of moved on,” Herman continues. However, Jeff Cavaliere has chosen the alternate route and is instead digging in his heels and insisting he uses real weight when he’s been exposed by a number of channels as a fraud, with plenty of video evidence showing him struggling much more to lift much lower numbers. However, when he realized his mistake, he quickly released and apology video, explained that it was an accident, and apologized. Real weights are heavy, made or cast iron or steel and don’t bounce uncontrollably. Another indicator of a fake weight is if the weights ‘bounce up’ when putting them down. “About a month ago, people starting calling Jeff out for using fake weights on some of his lifts…there’s nothing wrong with being fact-checked, but I do have a problem when the same people fact-checking everyone else don’t fact check their boy.”Įssentially, Scott Herman himself has been called out in the past for using misleading numbers to represent his fitness statistics. When trying to spot fake weights, check to see if the barbell is bending (which can happen with real weights) when bench pressing for example. “The videos around him doing heavy deadlifts,” Scott Herman explains. If you have 15 minutes of time on your hands, you can watch the entire video and his litany of accusations above.
In a scorching YouTube video, Herman accused Cavaliere of using fake weights and making other false promises to promote his brand. Fitness YouTuber Scott Herman had some strong words for Jeff Cavaliere, the face of strength sports’ Athlean-X.
