Thoughts on YouTube Fitness Personalities?

>Greg Doucette
Started out pretty good, giving simple, practical advice because you don't need to get into technical research lit if you're a beginner, you just have to "go harder than last time." Called out bullshit. However, he seemed overly hostile to other people who do like getting into the technical science shit. Spent too much time on drama, but admitted he did that for views to draw people to his more informative videos. Over time, he became the very kind of money-grubbing, misinfo-spreading shill he hates, shilling shitty products and giving bad advice.

>Athlean X
I'd trust him when it comes to prehab/rehab anatomy shit. Not when it comes to strength or hypertrophy. Releases new stupid workouts just for the sake of putting out content. There's no reason to have 15 "ultimate ab routine" workout videos. Also, fake weights.

>Jeremy Ethier
Doesn't even have that good of a physique. He's just lean. A mix of good science-based info and overgeneralizing from some single underpowered PubMed study for the sake of putting out content and looking smart.

>Mike Israetel
Actually understands the science he cites and how applicable it is. However, most of us probably don't really need to watch a 20-minute video about which bicep curl produces slightly more hypertrophy than the rest. He knows what he's talking about, but it's kinda in the weeds and maybe only people actually competing should care.

>Scott Herman
I do not for a second believe that is his real accent. However, he does good exercise demos. A lot of his later content became picking on people who give dumb advice on TikTok because that's easy to do, but hey, you can only do so many videos on exercise form. Also, he has a great physique that looks most like what a normal person would aspire to, because most people don't want to look like Doucette or Israetel.

    >Jeff Nippard
    He's got the personality of oatmeal and always fails when he tries to be funny, but his info is pretty good. Not as deep as Israetel, but he has a much better claim to being "science-based" than Ethier.

    >AlphaDestiny
    I don't remember what his content is actually like. I just remember he has funny mannerisms and speech that make him seem genuine and likeable.

    >RevivalFitness
    Did a much needed dressing down of Doucette, but I don't get why he thinks consistently going close to failure is dumb ego lifting. If you've got the safety measures to do it, it's a great way to progress.

        Buff dudes are genuinely good dudes. Idk about Brandon, he is iffy but Hudson is natty. I think the buff dudes are starting to fall off the algorithm but I always enjoyed their content and it motivates me.

        Will Tenny is good but it seems all he can do are long form tiktok challenges on YT. His one Video about the punching is funny cause any fan that walks up and mentions it looks like they've never lifted a weight before leading me to believe any fitness YouTuber fan is a dyel or doesn't even lift. (I'd put myself in dyel category)

    There is nothing revolutionary, new, or exotic that any fitness "personality" can provide you. They're there for entertainment, and once they find their niche they're going to have to pander hard (if they want to stay in business). They're more actors than actual gurus. Online "friends" for lonely people.

                Garage door heights are fairly standardised at 8 ft tall and typically subdivided into 4 segments.
                That would made 3 tall 6 feet but he's obviously on tiptoes so probably 5'9-5'-10

      it's far easier to get people to exercise a few times a week for less time rather than one giant long session. It's also much easier on the joints. A 12 week study is definitely not going to pick up the wear and tear that happens on the joints over the course of years of doing infrequent but very intense workouts.

      There are giant limitations with controlled studies, and when you have clients in the real world, things are much different.

    I would say fitness content on YouTube can be categorised in two different ways, Entertainment and informative videos.

    For entertainment, It doesn't have to be a skit or humour, you're just watching it for fun. Like natty or not vids are entertainment, drama videos are (shit) entertainment etc, vlogs and stuff, and ranting about shitty tik toks or whatever are aswell.

    I will only be giving thoughs on informative youtubers.

    >mike israetel
    actually good. Best programming (for hypertrophy) by a lot. He has good knowledge in the labs and in the trenches considering he programs and trains actually big people. Alot of technical details if you care for that are good, that being said, i've never really applied them so obviously. Also he is well articulated and a good communicator.

      good, has a nice niche and has dismantled athleanx shit content.

      >Starting strength the book
      The programming is too much lower body. That being said, 90% of people just binge watch fitness content (athlean x and jeff nippart primarilly) and think they're learning alot about fitness, analogously its like clicking random page of wiki, reading it, repeat and thinking you're leaning. The book starting strength has a complete and deliberate way of communicating 90% of what beginners need to learn while being a decent read aswell. It actually teaches you how to do exercises. No bull shit, no overengineering.
      I personally did SS with less lower body volume and more upper body volume when I first started working out properly (Before then I was following shit advice from athlean x, with my own garbage overengineered programming, actual waste of my time). Also I did behind the neck presses rather then regular presses, because I like them more.

      >rippetoe himself
      Dogmatic, but his dogmatism is still 1000% better then the moronation on youtube. more or less his podcasts are less about fitness , just him talking about the vaccine or whatever.

      as someone with shoulder impingement / spondye-girlsthesis grade 2 l5-s1 / a hip labral tear I'll say that jeff's advice is the best for reducing and improving injuries, and my physical therapists over the last 10 years that I've had these issues have been impressed with my knowledge on rehabbing my body and utilizing exercises that are much safer yet still build muscle.

      Once you grow up and start accruing injuries / recovery starts to tank, you'll start to find this type of advice much more useful.

    Yes he is the GOAT for technique advice. However, he is a fricking moron about steroids. His basic piece of advice is, if you use, use orals only. This is terrible advice because it is very clear by now that a testosterone base should be the foundation of 99% of cycles. Orals will frick your liver and crash your testosterone without a test base.

          Yes, which is why he tells you to do it for one, short cycle and decide if you want to inject long-term.
          Logic is that orals are easier to come off if you have a bad experience and your natural test production restarts quicker.
          He is aware that it's dogshit for your liver over any longer timeframe and tells you as much.

          SL and SS are great for complete beginners. relatively tiny time commitment since your untrained body is so sensative to training, and you increase your lifts every single session by 5lb each. If you either don't lift consistently on a good program with some sort of progressive overload, or even if you just haven't lifted for 6+ weeks, SL or SS or some sort of program with linear progression is a good idea. after you're no longer progressing on SL or SS, DON'T just keep deloading and continue that program. It's time for a higher volume intermediate program.
          n-suns (yes unironically) worked great for me, though it takes an ungodly amount of time every day. Don't remember the exact starting numbers but I ended up benching 3pl8, pulling 5pl8, and squatting 345x3 after adding 5lb nearly every week for 6ish months.
          yes my squat sucks, I was only benching and deadlifting for a while before running n-suns because I like them and hate squatting.
          no idea what a good intermediate program for hypertrophy is

    I don't watch any of them anymore, kinda see through them. They all either use drugs or deliberately over complicate lifting in order to sell "solutions", especially the "science" based channels. Exercise science is a bit of a joke field and the less said about nutrition science the better. People like Layne Norton talk complete pseudoscience that was debunked decades ago but they can't ever admit to being wrong because they've invested their whole career into meme diets and fads like IIFYM. Alan Aragon is almost as bad. I saw Aragon talking to Shawn Baker the other day conveniently forgetting all the stupid shit he used to say.

I think sourcing legit info vs hyper over the top "fitness" personalities shows a clear indication of even the types of people you see at the gym. Alot of people are following influencers such as on tiktok and ig who were skinny fats that just learned how to eat like a functional adult, now causing injuries.
