    Great video man! I got the most flack for lumping Jeff in with the others, but I gotta stand by it. The main point of my video wasn't to out full blown scammers, but to highlight the uselessness of academic research in informing training decisions, especially for the caliber of lifter scouring UA-cam for the inside scoop. As good as Nippard might be in many areas (I don't discount his chops), he still centers his content around picking apart academic study and I find that outright harmful. Theres no scenario where basic LPs, periodized templates or even Arnie's BB Encyclopedia are going to be worse starting points than anything hinted at (because that's the best they can do) in the conclusion of a university study. But there is PLENTY of confusion, hesitation and bad decision making to be had if you start there instead.

    • @GVS

      I thought your video was good overall, and brought up some great points addressing the deficiencies of science overall. Certainly, relying only or even overly on science is extremely foolhardy, but Nippard definitely doesn't do that. Just about any time he mentions anything in the scientific realm it's with the disclaimer that it's not everything and only part of the answer, as well as everyone having to find their own answer anyway.
      That recent podcast with Fouad Abiad I highly suggest checking out. Even if you might not find it to be all that useful personally, I think it'll make his stance on science versus practicality clear.

What possible benefit is there to parsing through dirt studies that are 40 years behind conventional training wisdom if the end conclusion is, "you still have to find your own way"?. Literally no other scientific discipline finishes their lectures that way and would be disqualified from being used to establish authority if they did. The whole point of scientific inquiry is to give you concrete rules in the first place.

    I think the biggest issue with science based training is that it’s often misinterpreted and passed off as gospel. Science deals in averages. Especially exercise science. The variation between bodies is too great for them to be super useful on an individual basis. Combined with the number of variables for muscle/strength growth and you have a recipe for slightly better than a guess. There’s just no way you can find 2 individuals who have the same genetics, stress, sleep patterns, diet and training history. Much less enough for a study.
    That being said, starting with these science based ideas and then being willing to change your program or diet to accommodate the results you got is an awesome way to move forward with your training.

    12:33 I experienced this in my video about neck bridges. According to science or physiotherapists, neck bridges are dangerous. But, in wrestling, neck bridging is one of the primary exercises. Even though my channel is tiny, there were people linking a video from the world's greatest physical therapist about why neck bridges will KILL your neck.

    Great video. Most people who serially watch these videos don't actually try working out consistently. I went that route too. You lack motivation and discipline, have little to no results, and try through science based videos to find the golden key to unlocking the gains you are looking for. These guys making the videos at some point realise that most people will fall into that category, so they make these videos which go viral and then the ever-growing cycle begins, that of fitness gurus and undertrained individuals feeding each other's "needs".

  • @PeteQuad
    @PeteQuad 2 роки тому +2

    In addition to all the great points already made, there is a problem in perception with the word science. Unfortunately many people cannot see the vast difference in the sciences.
    Some have created working models that can predict outcomes to a great level of certainty, such as physics and chemistry, and have produced the amazing jumps in technology we all see, such as airplanes, computers, and energy storage. Other sciences are currently purely observational and often do not have good enough models that can predict anything with any certainty. Fitness certainly barely qualifies as a mature science. Medical science in general is still largely based on observational studies without a real understanding of the underlying causes (we've only just started making progress lately).
    So there is science, and then there is science. Not all science is equal.

One more thing: a lot of athletes injure themselves and some of us don't wan't to be the strongest or the biggest, we just wan't to get a better health, so that's why newbies don't always watch what the best people are doing in training.

But when I did sissy squats for failure it came back but less painful so I ignored it and finished my workout. But today when I did weighted pull ups I was not even close to failure it struck me like it did before I had to stop the set the pain lasted about 30 seconds.

    Thanks for this video. I saw the original A. Bromley video and saw it as mostly valuable insight. My only critique is the one you elaborated on in this video - lumping in Jeff Nippard with the others. I've watched plenty of Nippard videos and he is NOT dogmatic with research results and in fact many times he's pointed out conflicting results from separate meta-analyses (something you mention in this video).
    I would still recommend the Bromley video because, if you can overlook the Nippard issue, he brings up many valid points that are worth considering.

      I'm embarrassed to say this, he had me doing endless waiter curls, leg lifts and worst of all, leg bicep curls 🙈🙈🙈🙈
      I like Mike Israetel but he had me turn into what GVS called a form cyborg. After watching his video about it I thought I'd give it a go, up the weight even if my form isn't perfect and I'm glad for it. It made me realise I was form-ego lifting and too conservative. I surprised myself.
