- wespiser_2018 7y agoCouldn't agree more with this: as someone who enjoys lifting weights three times a week and majored in biology, there is just so much BS out there.
- devinplatt 7y agoAlso: Mike Reinold, Eric Cressey, Tony Gentilcore, and Bret Contreras. R/BodyWeightFitness has taught me a lot too. They have a wiki with great tips on how to regress exercises to your actual level and then progress them as you get stronger to have good form.
- tgb 7y agoI have such a hard time taking him seriously, he comes off as a salesman. His video titles are so click-baity they'd make Buzzfeed blush. And I can't trust that he's putting correct information over pumping out new videos with eye-catching claims. Are there really 2 episodes per week worth of useful training information to share? I don't know that he's necessarily wrong about much (he's probably better informed than many other youtubers, whatever that says), but he just feels slimy. Why do people trust him?
- ubercore 7y agoHe definitely plays the youtube game, perhaps too well, but his advice is consistent and well explained. I just take it as the cost of free; he presents it the way he does to maximize youtube profit, I have to wade through click-baity titles and repetition, but there's some high quality information underneath it all
- AlexMuir 7y agoSadly this is the reality of YouTube. Genuine, quality content without clickbait bullshit just doesn't get any traction. As someone who's done a lot of fitness training I can assure you that he knows a lot. I train every day, and sometimes I just look for something new to vary things.
