What the hell is that? That was my audition for
People's Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2021 Edition.
And you thought the winking was necessary? They wanted sexy, didn't they?
Man, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
What do you mean stay the same? I ve got gains, I look fantastic in my new clothes.
I was not talking about that when I'm actually talking about guys, by the way, what's up, guys,
Altheanx.com, Jeff Cavaliere. See you got me all flustered it s not even the right intro.
The fact is, I covered the video years ago that was the five best exercises for men, according
to women. And that was basically what you should work on to develop your physique according to what
women want. We're a lot more progressive here at Athlean-X. We're going to open up our standards
to who finds who attractive. I'm just saying, what can you do to make yourself more attractive? Well,
guess what? The more things change, the more they stay the same a poll across my desk the other day
where they identified six muscle groups that you should develop if you want to be
instantly attractive in clothes. Okay, so looking like me, right?
Well, listen, I know you're ready for a date tonight, and I know you're reaping the rewards of
finally sticking to a program. But we're going to take the six areas that we need to focus on
and then fill in the gaps with the best exercises you can focus your attention on to develop each of
those areas. And guess what? What?
Because you show up to work on time today and because you dress the part.
Well again, for a hot date. We're going to let you identify what your
favorite exercises are in each of those areas. Oh, okay, great. I love to start.
So, let's start from the top down. Okay.
Easy enough traps. Traps.
How do you develop your traps? All right. Well, first off, I love the
deadlift. It s my compound lift obviously to start with. It allows me to weight up
really heavy and it really gives me that isometric contraction on my traps.
So, good heavy load, isometric contraction up there you obviously move some heavy weight.
Great. Next, what would you do if you need to be a little bit more dynamic?
To be dynamic? Power Shrug, absolutely. Because it allows me to lighten the weight
up a little bit. But again, it's a more dynamic movement and allows me to get,
you know, use a little more momentum. So, you get a little bit momentum into it, so it's
not just a static contraction of the deadlift, but a little bit, but still heavy weight.
Exactly. And then the last one is
actually when I introduce you to. Oh, I love this one.
It's the Trap Pull Down. So, guys, if you haven't tried this, you go to a pull-down machine,
you take a narrow grip, lean forward and pull straight down and back.
You really feel an intense contraction on the traps, and you've been using that one, too.
Yes, I have. All right. So,
we keep it going down the line here. Next stop is at the shoulders. How are you developing yours?
Obviously, again, starting with the compound lift, and that's a heavy overhead press.
Okay, so we go from the overhead press, the obvious one to, I would say,
another obvious one here too. Do you want to round out your delts,
so I hit the side lateral raises because again, it hits the side
delts and makes me look bigger in my sleeves. Bigger here. This is growing by the second, I
think as we re speaking here. Especially now that you re on stage. The next one, the Face Pull. So,
we want to round out delt development we're going to get the rear delts too. We've got the Face
Pull, as you so perfectly demonstrate here. Oh, I love this one.
All right now, let's keep it going. So, the next stop is the arm,
so we want to fill those shirt sleeves. So, what are you doing here for your arms?
First, I start with curls. Okay, so I actually like the
alternating dumbbell curl because you can focus one arm at a time here.
Yeah. All right.
I go next to the Waiter s Curl. Ok, so the Waiter s Curl again,
something that I actually usually take credit for as the exercise that gives me that biceps peak.
But I showed it to you, and it's the one that you fell in love with over that 30-day period.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay, so next we have what those are two for
the biceps, Jesse, what are we doing here? Well, curls for the girls.
Okay, she's your insufferable. What do you got next?
Next up is Lying Dumbbell Tricep Extensions. Okay, and what are you looking for here?
So, it hits the long end of the triceps, which is great because it makes up the most meat of
the triceps. And obviously your triceps makes up two thirds of your arm. So, to really fill out the
sleeve so you really want to hit those triceps. Look it, you re listening, you're picking
up notes, you're doing it in a pretty good job so far.
I m learning. Next up again, we move now a little bit inward,
the chest. There's no doubt that if you get a bigger chest here that stands out prominently
in your shirts, you're going to be making a better first impression. What do you do here?
Bench press obviously. Again, compound movements, guys. It's my favorite one to start with.
So obviously I don't think we're unearthing anything really mystery like here,
but we're trying to make sure that you're hitting the big basic exercises, focusing
on building your strength there and then filling in the gaps. The bench press, whether you do it
with a barbell or dumbbells, is going to get the job done. So, what's the next exercise?
Low to High Crossover. All right. So, with the low to high movement here,
you guys know that I love the abduction-based movements for chess. If you go from low to high,
you're following the fiber direction of the upper chest a little bit more,
which would be a good complement to the bench press. And then finally?
Finally, is dips, you know, very easy movement, but you know, it definitely hammers the chest.
You like to weight them. Always.
Okay, so if you're able to weight them, I would say weight them to take advantage of the overload
here. If you're not and you're still doing bodyweight, just take them to failure. And
again, don't go so low that you jeopardize your shoulders. Now we go to a little bit lower here
now at the waistline. We're talking about. Oh okay, so.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. See, I knew it wouldn't take long for you to
get juvenile with this video. Oh, okay.
So, we're going to keep that buckle, we're talking about the waistline here. Did you
feel that? So the waistline and what we're talking about there is obviously developing
your midsection. So, what are your favorite exercises to do to develop your midsection?
I start with the Dumbbell Power-Up. That's one of my absolute favorite ab movements of all time.
Okay. It s explosive.
Good explosive, upper ab driven exercise. We're going to go lower abs here. What's
your next favorite exercise? Hanging Leg Raises.
So, I love the hanging exercises, guys. They're more difficult because you have
to lift the weight of your legs. Make sure you're doing them properly by curling your
butt under and not just lifting your legs up. And one added benefit is, you know, grip, strength
and forearm size from hanging on to the bar. That's true, too. And if you're going to roll your
sleeves up like you do, I don't know whether it's fashionable or not. It's at least going to benefit
you there, too. The last exercise here is one that I actually introduce you to.
It's the Gymnast AB Tuck, twist when you get the little additional oblique action here, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, do you know what my favorite
waistline exercise of yours is? What s that?
Ditching the gummy bears. Ohhh.
That really is the thing that's going to have the biggest impact on the waistline. But let's
talk about the exercises, because that's what the poll was talking about. Finally,
we're going to hit that last area beneath the waistline and we're talking about?
Now this time. No, no, no, no, not this time. We're
talking about the backside. Oh, glutes.
I think he'd be disappointing many people, we saw you in that exercise fail video If I have,
if I have to put that up again here. Are you saying that blurred is generous?
Yes. So, you have now the glutes. Now this is your wheelhouse.
This is my wheelhouse for sure. What are you doing here?
Squats, squats, squats. It's my favorite exercise.
So, and building up to a pretty impressive squat at this point too, I would say.
Moving around to the next exercise is? Barbell Hip Thrust. I actually love this
exercise because it not only engages my glutes, but it gets my hamstrings as well.
Cool. And then the last exercise is one of my favorites, and it's one of the bodyweight
ones. Not everybody has access to the machine, but it's the Glute/Ham Raise. It's training
the glutes and the hamstrings to work together, right? So, you have to engage the glutes first
and then allow the hamstrings to contribute. It's a great exercise, especially for athletics,
for preventing hamstring injuries because you are prioritizing glute activation that leads in
and supports hamstring activation and development. So that's your list, Jesse. You actually made it
through the entire list. Yeah.
Without really, truly screwing this video up. If you guys like what he did, you can actually leave
your comments below and see if you want more. If you like the way he's dressed, if you have some
pointers, maybe to help him out, make sure you leave those also. But when it comes down to it,
guys, you have to make sure that you're not just looking the part here, but we always say, yeah,
you want to train like an athlete to look like an athlete and feel like one, but you also always
have to then be able to actually perform. Oh, talking about performing, you know,
that's a big, big, big aspect of, you know, the dating life.
Did I mention insufferable? Yes.
Anyway, if you're looking to put it all into one 90-day plan, guys, which Jesse congratulations
once more of actually following a plan for the first time. You see what happens when you do?
