  • Hey everybody! Today I’m exposing some male fitness influencers since I typically only call out the ladies. In reality, I’m going to share 5 amazing coaches (even more are linked below) and then 5 not so great coaches or influencers you should probably stay away from for various reasons. Let me know your thoughts below!

    Dr. Mike Isratael from Renaissance periodization is my favorite. Once i started really following his advice, i had serious improvements in my fitness levels. He doesnt JUST talk about bodybuilding, he also talks about sport specific training and how to ACTUALLY optimize your training for a specific sport without accidentally wasting your time. And his reactions to celebrity training are hilarious! This guy is a gem as far as how his advice actually works. His reaction to Dr OZ is great.

      I like him too, but I get a little annoyed that he pretty much only reviews women. I think he might have recently done a video on v shred (or it might have been someone else who did, I feel like several people suddenly did videos on him at the same time) but like everyone knows that guy is an idiot. That's my only qualm with Harry. There are plenty of male influencers out there taking steroids and pretending they got their results just from the gym and Harry never talks about them, or at least I never see him do it. Maybe it's because his audience is mostly female, but I think it's important to address the guys too!

      @@MB-vi8zp I know that reaction/comment channels are a thing--and it's his thing--but after watching him critique workouts by all these female trainers, I just gotta give side eye to that sort of conent because he's really just doing the absolute littlest. Meanwhile, those female trainers, regardless of what you think about the style of training, are putting in a helluva lot more work to offer free workouts and to help people. I'd like to see him put in some work and put a bit of his training content online (even to just prove that he is an actual trainer).

    Brett has his HANDS ALL OVER THAT WOMAN… like, why?! Get your hands off of her. You don’t need to touch her to accomplish anything you’re doing in this video clip. Your coaches shouldn’t be touching you! If they do, they better damn well ask for permission. I’ve been taken advantage of in this exact same way, and it’s just an awful spot to be in. Any coach putting their hands all over their clients is a GIANT red flag for me, regardless of how educated they are.
    Anyway, as always, this was a great video. Thank you, Justina!

    Ahhhhhh, the Brett guy is so touchy!!! And I know some people say that he hopefully/probably has a consent from his clients... but you know what - if I had a super famous trainer and he asked me if I am okay with sometimes being touched, my little ashamed non-assertive myself would internally refused BUT I would still say yes. So consent isn't always a consent. Power imbalance.

    The only male fitness influencer I consistently follow is biolayne. I've learned from him that a single study is really not that much to get excited about, it's the meta analyses that are more interesting and are showing what we find across multiple studies. Also, it's much harder for an average Joe to just read a study and understand perfectly what it was trying to research, how it was performed, and what conclusion it supports and doesn't support.

    An excellent list Justina! I second the 👍for Dr Mike Israetel (Renaissance Periodization), Jordan Syatt, the Bioneer and Jeff Nippard. A couple of people from the UK not mentioned as far as I can see are James Lister of Shredded Sports Science (his take downs of snake oil salesmen like V Shred are hilarious) and Joe Delaney (someone else with a very dry sense of humour but anyone from the USA will need the captions on to understand his Liverpool accent!😂). On a side note, I have followed Sohee and Ben Carpenter individually for ages but thought they were just "collaborating"! (I suppose they kinda were...😉)

    Also follow many of the names mentioned in the comments; too many to watch everything each of them produces and don't necessarily agree with everything they say, but they mostly have at least something to learn from. This video actually gave me a couple of new names to follow, thanks!

    Omg I love your content so much! I have been interested in fitness since childhood so I’ve seen a lot over the years (not sure if you’re old enough to remember the whole “boot camp”/tai bo crazes back in the day?) At one time it was SO incredibly difficult to find people (real people, not fake personalities or caricatures) involved in fitness that I could relate to. My God… I wonder how many people have been turned away from healthier living due to not finding people they can actually relate to. 😔
    I have never been the type of person to get inspired or motivated by real-time coaching or workout partners. Tried but it wasn’t for me. I’m accountable to myself. But watching inspo like yours and a couple of these guys really hit the mark for me.
    So tl;dr THANKS!! 🙏🏽 You’re appreciated.

    I don't even understand how anyone could think ANYONE only has sleep and work as a priority over the gym. Don't these people shop for food, cook and do the dishes and eat three times a day? What about cleaning, the laundry, having a family and friends or having hobbies? You can find time for the gym, but it's still time you are taking from doing something else and there is ALWAYS something to do. Not finding the time doesn't mean you are laying down on your couch 50 hours a week even if you don't juggle children, multiple jobs and care for a sick parent...

    I appreciate your viewpoints on all of the influencers you covered! I am not familiar with Brett Contreras as a trainer or person in general; however, I disagree with you about his speciality in women’s fitness (namely glutes) being inherently creepy. With that argument, do we assume male gynecologists, breast surgeons, mammographers, plastic surgeons specializing in breasts, glutes, etc. are all inherently creepy? Of course some of these men may have poor character, and/or act inappropriately throughout their life, we can’t assume their career choice or speciality is inherently indicative of their character.

      Here's the difference: male glutes and female glutes are the same. So why would you need to specialize in ONLY women's glutes?

    • @mhlovelygirl13800
      @mhlovelygirl13800 11 місяців тому

      I see where you’re coming from for sure. Perhaps he (or others) want to specialize in flutes and women are the bigger target audience or on the flip side, he wants to focus on women’s fitness and many of his clients are interested in glute growth. We have to understand where the motivation is coming from.

      @@JustinaErcoleI’ve watched a lot of his content and he talks about how he became fascinated with glutes in high school when he wanted to build his own, and he never mentions that training is different for men and women, just that women tend to be far more motivated to build their glutes, and women are the majority of his clients. Oftentimes, he mentions that men are reluctant to train glutes and that they could really benefit in an athletic sense from doing so. The women he trains in person tend to be long-term clients of his who specifically are building their glutes to participate in bikini competitions, so they are very familiar with each other, and I don’t think he goes around touching people without their consent. I like that he stands up for women who do want to build their glutes more than other body parts, unlike a lot of male trainers who think women should all train their upper bodies as much as they do, and that glute-focused exercises are “stupid”. I’m not saying we should all be die-hard fans of his or that we can know everything about him, but he is considered one of the leading experts in research on glutes and from watching a lot of his content personally, I think he encourages both men and women to train their glutes effectively if that’s something they wish to do.

    I discovered weight lifting through Bret Contreras' book, Strong Curves. It's how I lost weight and have kept up a consistent workout routine at the gym. I enjoyed the simplicity of having it all mapped out for me. I've been following his routines for years, but I do think that's it's so glute focused & I want to have a more balanced routine. I'm currently reading Thinner, Leaner, Stronger. Do you have any other recommendations of what I should look into? I realize that I have only followed workout routines by male fitness coaches because the female fitness influencers I've seen focus on shit I don't like, such higher reps, cardio, & just watching their videos & following along with their routines. I enjoy your channel so far because unlike what I've seen with a lot of female influencers, you seem to keep it real.

It really helped as a complete newb since my weight loss graph has little spikes before a drop and I thought it was weird but he explained it well (I'm Team Dumbledore's Ladder), and he reset my mind on having a big meal once or twice a month and explained how that can actually be a good thing and reduce diet fatigue.

    The one guy who said "menstruation," and then "getting your cycle." The fact that you dont know how to talk about a woman's menstrual cycle tells me you're not qualified to talk to me about anything related to it. We are constantly "in our cycle," moving from one stage to the next, like how water is constantly in the water cycle of evaporation, precipitation, etc. Men can be educated on women's cycles, but i just find that so many of them that like to speak on it do not have the knowledge to do so from an educated perspective and so, end up pulling stuff out of their butts and presenting it as fact. Extremely unhelpful and potentially very harmful.
