The Athlean-X "Fake Weights" Controversy

In recent "YouTube fitness community news", it's come to light that Jeff Cavalier of Athlean-X has been using fake weights in a variety of his videos to exaggerate the amount of weight he can truly lift.

Just run a search for "athlean-x fake weights" and you'll find more and more videos popping up as this becomes a popular topic of discussion.

Jeff used these fake plates in a deadlift video where he claims to be lifting 500 pounds, another where he pin presses what appears to be 315 pounds, and many others including exercises such as strict curls, squats, power cleans, skull crushers, barbell rows and more.

There's really no debate about the fact that Athlean-X did in fact use fake weights, but the real question is, does it actually matter?

Some popular YouTubers (such as Greg Doucette, Scott Herman, Every Damn Day Fitness and Shredded Sports Science) seem to generally be defending him and saying it's no big deal, while others (such as Vegan Gains, Enkiri Fitness and the original channel that brought these claims forward, Curlean-X) consider this a very serious offence.

In this video I give my honest opinion about the Athlean-X fake weights controversy, and I encourage you to leave your comments as well giving your personal thoughts on the situation involving Jeff Cavalier.
