Who are some fitness influencers I should be watching? I've just started lifting weights at home and looked up some videos on YouTube and this guy came up. He said he's been lifting for years, yet his arms are smaller than mine. Also, he doesn't look particularly healthy judging by his face, so I'm a bit confused as to why he has such a large following. Can you recommend some YouTubers who give good advice for beginners? Thanks in advance.

Now I believe you haven’t been lifting for years, but how many years have you been coming to this board?
First time posting on IST, have never lurked before. I usually browse IST and IST.
He'd look so much better if he wasn't such a softboi and went out in the sun once in a while
He's 5'5 and single digit body fat. When preparing for a show you have to be unhealthily lean. He looks better at a more reasonable body fat.
Arguably the best youtuber bodybuilder; omniman and geoffrey verity schofield are great as well.
Why he fricked up his hair so bad
>Why he fricked up his hair so bad
His hairline was always fricked but he used fin, said he wasn't going to use it again.
>best Youtuber
How!? All he does is like "hey guise, these are my top 5 row variations". There is nothing useful about it, it's just mumbo jumbo that will confuse newbies more than it helps. Also he is annoying as frick and lemonade and I miss Phil. Literally Buff Dudes are superior to him in any way.
Most meds have that red eye area thing.
His progress is all documented since like 2013, done numerous cuts and bulks. Lives what he preaches, tried out different training styles. Has elite strength, got a 405lb bench. Started off as a short weird Italian kid and copped a lot of shit and has had to fight for everything on his channel. Actually obsessed with fitness and not a trend hopping phaggot.
God these troll threads are shit
He has liver damage failing written all over his eyes.
WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS??
He used to be better looking
Peak AlphaDestiny
Eh he just needs more fat, just wait after he's finished with his competition.
he legitamatley looks sickly
he might just have problems sleeping. he used to do a lot of neck training and apparently that causes sleep apnea
>neck training may cause sleep apnea,which can cause poor sleep, so this must be why he has horrifying dark tissue completely encircling his eye sockets
Alex bro just come clean with us...
considering as a natty, sleeping is probably more important than a good training program, this is probably one of the biggest indicators that he may actually be on something that's helping him build his muscle. I have sleep apnea that isn't treated well even with CPAP and I have the absolute hardest time building muscle. It is basically impossible to build muscle with sleep deficits. I've achieved a 1-2 year body in 4-5 years.
That's normal for mystery meat mutts. Dude looks like he'd turn swarthy as frick if he went outside for more than five minutes.
Firstly, you shouldn't really be watching any "influencers" since they're all grifters.
However, if you wish to continue, find someone who has achieved the goal you are looking to achieve and is honest about their pharmacological enhancements
>Natural Hypertrophy
>Alan Thrall
>Candito
The first two are my favorite honestly, NH for the content and Alan specially because he is such a great entertainer (he knows a lot too but this makes him special). Candito is a little meh and too normie nowadays, but just watching him training is cool sometimes and he has great advice concerning strength etc.
I've watched some AlphaDestiny and he has some good tips on lifting, but that's about it. I liked some of his training videos I guess. He isn't that great in most of his content even though he is right about most things he says about training.
I forgot to add Clarence Kennedy. He usually doesn't say much, but his training is cool and I like watching it. He rarely uploads tho.
I like basement bodybuilding and james tiny vest
bioneer - gets you excited for interesting ways to work out
natural hypertrophy - french weeb who has an impressive natty physique
jason blaha - top us sniper who is totally a secret agent hitman olympic athlete but all the documents about that were lost in a fire.
>>yet his arms are smaller than mine
It doesn't count if u are a fat frick
arm big = good
Perspective exists plus there is literally space between the 45 plate and the floor. Alex is 5'5, he stood next to Justin lee a confirmed 6ft (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vd5eyipsCCc) and looked 5'5
Is this photoshopped? No way a fully grown man can be so small? Im 5'10 and feel tiny but would literally tower over him
I just wanna hug a short guy and tell him he is not a bad person for being short
i was a huge fan of alan thrall until i got into powerlifting and realized that his numbers were actually kinda bad considering his body weight and years of experience
maybe my standards are just too high but i would have expected at least a 365 bench from him
his squat and deadlift are alright though
>should
none, listen to broscience advice on old forums and avoid all scientific studies if you actually want gains
>so I'm a bit confused as to why he has such a large following
He's 5'1 and coping hard. There's a lot of little guys in his situation that need something to hold on to.
Post your 405lb benches otherwise STFU
im 6'1, thats worth way more than a 405lb lol
kek being 6 or over with a 315 bench is like life on easy mode i work with this short girl who's maybe alpha destinys height who always mires me its nice
Shutup alex u manlet coward
Give that man a break. Hes on prep and probably still looks bigger than you.
Who dis nosferatu looking Black person?
I'm natty and am at my lowest bf% ever. Like everyone natty, it's fricking shocking how little you'll weigh at 12% or less. Remember that 5'10" manlet Brad Pitt said he weighed 150 (dehydrated, granted) for fight club.

sondre berg
old athleanX, like 3-5 years ago
jeff nippard does have some good advice, but god he talks like a homosexual
dr gains
bob and brad for injuries
[p]rehab
bret contreras
Why he doesn't get an implant? He already used minoxidil, I doubt he is afraid of Finasteride
minox has 0 potential for actual dangerous sides, fin does
anyway, he should just get a hair system
Bro im sick of seeing you ISTcels bald idol posted here 24/7. You want your hairline to end up like his???? Why do you worship him so much
this new pantheon of natty bodybuilders on yt is a beacon of hope. my go2s are
>Natural Hypertrophy
>Bald Omni Man
>Alex Leonidas
>Geoffrey Verity Schofield
>Eric Bugenhagen
>The Bioneer
House Of Hypertrophy is an honorable mention
i sense a golden age of fitness and aesthetics is upon us, and these guys are spearheading the whole thing
btw there is no natty limit
