▶ Play Clip"The title 'ATHLEAN-X™ Live' accurately describes the event content; no exaggeration or misleading claims."
This live Q&A session from ATHLEAN-X Live features host Jesse alongside Ben Patrick (Knees Over Toes Guy) and Jeff, who demonstrate blood flow restriction (BFR) training and knee-strengthening protocols. The video answers viewer questions on training splits, nutrition, and injury prevention in a casual event setting.
Jeff demonstrates blood flow restriction training using cuffs on arms/legs to create a hypoxic environment, allowing lighter weights to feel heavier with fewer reps to failure.
Ben Patrick teaches protocols for knee and shin strengthening, emphasizing mobility and controlled range of motion.
Jesse explains that both heavy low-rep and light high-rep training are effective, but heavy weight reduces joint mileage; a mix is recommended.
Jesse mentions the ATHLEAN-X YouTube video 'Zero to Five Pull-Ups' as an effective protocol for beginners.
Eat more food, focus on compound lifts, and add isolation exercises. Heavy compounds were key for Jesse's gains.

18:15[00:00] So what's up guys, Justin here from AppAnex. We are at AppAnex Live. We are here with Ben Patrick from Knees Over Toes guys. We also have Jeff over here.
[00:16] Jeff is teaching BFR training and the benefits of you know what BFR does training with lighter weights and then Ben is teaching
[00:29] different different protocols for work on your knees and strengthening your knees and your hips and everything like that so again here's Jeff at AthleanX Live
[00:43] If you weren't here before, Jeff is teaching about BFR training, blood flow restrictions. He's demonstrating with help for the audience and everything like that.
[00:57] But if you guys have any questions for me, feel free to ask them. I'm happy to answer and give you any information about AppInX Live. And if you want to know.
[01:09] Hello. Facebook's on. Facebook's every day. What's your question, F.G. Rock?
[01:21] How am I so cool? I'm born this way. Oh, a lot of questions come in, right? All right.
[01:35] You take training advice from Jeff for free. Yes, I do. I'm doing good. They're supposed to back absolutely. I'm not bulking on a cut, neither. Tendon changes, yes, that is what Ben is teaching over here, especially for the new.
[02:02] If I ever had trouble with my knees, I would get a little tingling. Mustach tips. Yes, don't give.
[02:17] How to grow legs without a machine. Lucy's clock, O'Garey, and I wonder.
[02:30] Yes, better to use over toes. Beard workout when? Whenever you want. So Jeff is demonstrating DFR training, blood flow restriction.
[02:56] This is indeed A.S. Live. Any tips for running programs with a training partner, yes, do the same thing. You can either work out at the same time or in between sets, you know, the other person
[03:09] works, you rest, and you rest, and they rest, and you work out.
[03:25] If you want to come to AHL, you can find it on the App Connect website. You can get tickets, we'll have the event next year, so you can keep your eyes out for the tickets for next year. GFR training is blood flow restriction, where you put cups on your arms or your legs and
[03:42] you train with that, and there's a hypoxic environment inside the muscles, so lighter weights feel heavier, and you can actually exert more effort using lighter weights without having to do as many reps as you would normally do to pay for them.
[03:59] Yes, I played sports in high school. I played lacrosse.
[04:15] I'm Jason, Bill. Hello. Hello. My current workout plan is a push-full leg, hooking on heavy lifting.
[04:29] Correct, I see you for deadlifting from back. Um, if you just follow the, uh, deadlift checklist that we have on the YouTube channel, we'll get everything you need to know.
[04:45] Do I like the UFC? Let's show who's my favorite fighter. Uh, I used to like the UFC, and my favorite fighter was George J. Gere. Thank you, I do feel happy.
[04:59] I trained in the closet a few times What do I look so handsome Thank you
[05:13] Deadlift. I work for Apple Next. I do hunt. I'm a duck hunter. This is Pittsburgh.
[05:25] There's our one and only. I am 31, and for a living, I work for Apple Next. but just in case you need a partner to do it with. Then there's some others in the back room if you want to do that. So I share my rotator cuff muscles every day.
[05:38] It's just about. Literally on the bottom of the neck. So if you can do these on the TV, well, you can go down that toilet. And then, I mean, you can go to the... You can do those things without paying for it.
[05:51] And you don't need my help, but if it's so useful, I'd be all for it if you know. And if you have another, this will now work for you. We'll be able to go down. Once the opportunity comes over,
[06:04] then you're waiting there for me to get there. Here's the crowd for Happy Next Live. Those are the MVPs. It's the MVP day, hands-on training.
[06:21] Yes, it is safe to do heavy weight on shoulders, as long as you have the mobility and strength to do it. Yes, Pro30G, available at aftonite.com.
[06:42] If I roll an aftonite, it's most of the camera guys. Any more plans for a dumbbell only workout?
[07:08] Or any plans for a dumbbell only program? Maybe. I am 31 years old.
[07:25] No, I am not 31 years old. I respect the military. I believe in the military. I am not 31 years old.
[07:48] I thought of the mapping, right? So if I only did that number, that's where you're going to get yourself to the next level. And you're always on the other side of the equation. And then you're going to be in the future. And you have all your secrets.
[08:01] I don't know how to put it in. So I'm going to pull it over. There's not a pie carver in the game. You know, I think that people that are in this, like, in the area, you know, you're going to be right there. You know, there are a lot of people that I know, right now, that I feel that's probably
[08:15] Thank you.
[08:45] from these over-tellers, teaching what he does best.
[09:15] So I'll answer a few more questions before I head off and get back to work.
[09:32] Is it okay to change one to two hours before going to 50? Yeah, I do. Your brand is Mayo. How many?
[09:45] I don't mind a red seven-fold.
[10:02] Besides the breakfast today I have eggs sausage bacon hash half and oatmeal
[10:15] How long do I train per day, per week? I usually train between 45 minutes and 2 hours. Depending on what kind of workout I'm doing and how much heavy lifting I'm doing. Yes, I do watch hockey. Favorite team is the Rangers.
[10:35] It is 1148 AM here.
[10:48] Yes, 15 is nothing good for beginners. I think everyone should take 15. Does that do cardio? Yes, I walk after every workout for at least a mile. No, I cannot do a backflip.
[11:01] No, I'm not on steroids. Because cardio is not a dog, unfortunately. away. Max says it's 560. That's fantastic. Here's key change. That's the workout method.
[11:30] It's a hard question to answer because it really depends on your goals, your availability to train, how many days per week, how much time you have per day, what sport you like,
[11:42] everything like that. No, I do not do intermittent fasting. Less reps and heavier weights is more effective or is it more effective? I can say it's more effective.
[11:54] Light weights and higher reps can be effective too, but you do have to save a little bit myelodendrogyne so going heavy is beneficial too so you should train with both heavy weights, low reps and lightweight high reps. There's uh, I haven't heard of both.
[12:11] Do I eat cherry cake on my birthday? Actually no, I don't like cherry cake. I think it still works well. However, if you've heard of what's being explored, it's probably going to be a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to that in key classes. You know, our top-tier program is Old School Island. I'm followed by Iron Curtain.
[12:31] So I got a taste of that. And you know, if you're on that channel, that means something to coach from, I also do like to eat dessert.
[12:50] Two, three times a week. And it's usually something light. Like, honestly, my dessert is usually, like, berries. And blueberries, strawberries, grapes. It's a little spice mask.
[13:02] If you can't do pull-ups, check out our video on YouTube, how to go from zero to five pull-ups.
[13:14] Very simple protocol, very easy to follow, and it definitely works. You might get more dental workout videos.
[13:26] No, this thing does not belong to Joe. I've taught in the chest how to get rid of it. Where you definitely need to train your chest more and you definitely need to lower your body fat. That's the biggest thing, lowering your body fat.
[13:39] So being in a core definitely can help with that. What's happening around me? This is Athenex Live.
[13:51] This is a live event. This is Ben Patrick. He's over color-stitching. And Jeff is in the background over there teaching blood flow restriction training.
[14:12] Are you getting another Jeff intro? Yeah, I am. I do not do MMA with powerlifting. I like powerlifting, but MMA is not my thing. Can't do it because of my head trauma.
[14:33] Workflow Restriction is using tufts to cut off workflow to the extremities to create a hypoxic environment for which you can train with lighter weights for lower reps.
[14:46] So it's simulating using a 10-12 rep mat or like a 15-20 rep mat. a 10-step path or a 15-step path? I don't really know.
[14:58] There's a 10-step path. What if you said the life of the person you know this because all of a sudden you're going to be on the ground waiting for six to five minutes? That a good general ability But it also requires a lot of work and it very much a matter of time You ready to accept the fact that you going to be on the ground and you going to be on the ground I can get real stressed and stomach fat
[15:22] You don't have to have a body fat. You're not going to do that to be a calorie deficit. In my opinion. Yes, I love barbecue.
[15:35] Get bigger. Try it. what do I think about Olympic weightlifting? I think it's awesome
[16:07] I will tell Jeff that he's helped you.
[16:30] He loves helping people. Yes, there's a competition here on Saturday. the App and Exchange manual.
[16:43] What would be my job if I did not have a YouTube channel? Because I studied nothing. I studied film in college.
[17:05] We are in Connecticut. Thank you. I think my game is going to be good. How old was I when I started playing with Jeff?
[17:25] I was 23. Yeah, 23. How's my deadlift? I'm working back up to my max. I'm working back up from my max, I just did 5-10 recently and getting stronger every day.
[17:44] Did Daddy eat right before going to bed? It's not easy to recommend either, I don't see a problem with it. I eat before bed and I'm doing just fine. You finally killed 45,000.
[18:00] Awesome. Thank you.
[18:13] Any tips for the hard game? Eat more beans. Focus on the compound revs. And incorporate ice weights and exercise. I was not a big fan of compound lists but for me the most game I saw was eating more food,
[18:28] pushing off heavy compound lists and working out. That's really nice accessory working out. Do you know if you're going to make an impact on the body of the player? I'm not sure if I'm going to be in the game. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch the play-by-play. My game is? Yep. Right now battlefront 2.
[18:43] Do you know where you're going? The world of the players. I don't watch the game very much. Exercise is completely dead left. We perform form always.
[18:57] Let's get back to showing Jeff doing the CFR training. are you
[19:15] you know or or or or
[19:28] or or I send a license. It's like an account for a girl or a body weight.
[19:42] It's like an account for a girl. I send that out. And then we have these things back. Or something you're trying to do. But it's not as easy as it looks. All right, guys.
