The convo at an hour and twenty and beyond is so important. It’s bananas that long-discredited Cartesian mind-body dualism still structures so much of how we frame our reality. The fact is that as embodied intelligence, the more our bodies are capable of, the more possibility that opens up for us in the world intellectually as well. Let’s get Merleau-Ponty in the weight room.
you definitely need to do a part two. some ideas for convos: -menswear like you mentioned -YC’s political growth over time -His thoughts on modern gyms like equinox etc
44 years old / 172LBs / Big Nerd Big 3 Total - 1035 Also a BJJ black belt. Also born with low kinaesthetic intelligence. To YC’s point, starting from physical incompetence and a zero confidence has made me a pretty skilled sharer of knowledge in both domains.
4:24 5x5 hell yeah, i got into that just around the height of the pandemic, been lifting since but went to PPL. As a former skinny dude it was the best intro into the world of lifting. Not as strong as i was then but bigger now than then. I suggest any skinny folks trying to build mass to start with 5x5 to build a foundation and modify to what ever you're after when you have that established.
Yung Chomsky is the most important figure in modern American politican and sporting life. One day they will name buildings after him. Not very nice or important ones, but nevertheless.
wait hes not 39 years old though right? gotta be a mistake? I dead thought hes like mid 20s younger than me and im 28. I was actually surprised a trueanon producer is someone so young. right?????
I just found this podcast, and after listening to three guests talk I am in this amazement of how these people get a sense of importanse from things that feels so little important to me. Is this how it feels to be an old person?
If you are taking requests for future guests, take a look at print shoot repeat. Perfect combination of weird online politics, new art forms and crazy takes on fitness and masculinity.
The CrossFit Hero WODs are more likely to be the soldier’s favorite workout. Also, CrossFit gyms are affiliates, not franchises, which does allow each gym to be pretty different. Pukie is real, though.
Good interview and like this guy's work a ton but "The body can either gain muscle OR lose fat" is one of those long-standing rules of thumb that have no basis in science. It's of course true that you need to take in more calories than you burn, but you basically just need to not be in a deficit, and you'll build muscle. There's also no physiological principle that suggests you can't burn fat and build muscle at the same time (assuming you have some fat to burn). I don't think YC thinks this, but I'm pretty sure a lot of guys like the idea that they need to bulk and then cut because they just want to eat whatever they want for a while and tell themselves they'll burn it off later lol
Controversial take: when it comes to judging certain activities and assuming specific political leanings, I would add another one: cryptocurrency and blockchain. Similar to weight training, there's an assumption that "I don't like the type of people who are into crypto, therefore crypto itself is a bad activity." But in fact there are incredible uses and potential for everything from record-keeping to economic freedom under repressive regimes and failed states such as in Syria and Lebanon. The irrational war that the left decided to wage against crypto is one of the dumber political moves in recent history. Ok, everyone may now begin trolling.
YC talking about his genetic potential is the most normie part of this. Most people are nowhere near it and it's something that you can't affect. He should've pumped those numbers up!
@@kennadesigns Me sitting on a rusted metal chair in my poorly lit basement at 3am, surrounded by 15 different drugstore weight scales scattered on the ground, each digital screen flashing 0 with a dull blue light. A 45 plate sits in my lap, my head in my hands. A CVS receipt 5 feet long trails from my pocket towards the stairs, where 15 boxes sit, torn open in a frantic rage. A single tear rolls down my face.
I disagree with his analysis of how society treats skinny people vs fat people. Yes, it is in some ways less socially acceptable to openly shame fat people or comment on their bodies (as a result of a decades of shaming people from doing it openly) vs skinny people. In actuality tho, being fat is socially regarded as a moral failure. At best, it makes you invisible, at worst you are viewed as a real danger to society (that is, that “normalizing”, or rather, humanizing your existence would harm people-which is horrific). It’s worth noting, here, that being overly skinny is a highly normalized thing. At any given time, there are a dozen male celebrity heart throbs that look like, as he harshly and dysphorically puts it, “a holocaust victim”. Being a fat person in the public eye is a life defined by harassment. Criticism of skinny people is a niche problem within highly masculinized social circles. His view that fat people are “protected” from critism, and not skinny people, is not due to an oversight. Fat people are just actually discriminated against. They get worse medical care. They struggle more with employment. They are broadly viewed as unintelligent and incapable. This distinction between the social protections of fat vs skinny people is entirely appropriate. It would probably be better if we didn’t moralize our bodies at all. And didn’t comment on people’s bodies like that person did to him. It’s also entirely fine for people to change their bodies to meet different gender markers and experience euphoria. But also, let’s be clear headed about who is being ostracized here, and why we socially preoccupy ourselves with fat phobia.
Now do Liz
We need it
Please! please! please!
and don’t crop her feet out.
crazee
Maybe she’s in Washington DEEsee
I didn't expect Yung Chomsky to look like a 1970s Hollywood heartthrob in a movie about a crooked tennis coach
ffs give him some socks!
@@buriedintime We all want to have socks with Yung Chomsky now
@@buriedintime he's got the no show socks on
didnt expect yung chomsky to actually look like chomsky

Of course they are both ✡️
Swole Chomsky

Chomsky is such a great speaker. All episodes so far are super fire.
This episode made me realise that I need to lock tf in
How so?

@@ultravioletiris6241 just that I need to get serious about fitness and improving the way I look

Equinox is not a modern gym because first of all, they are not available virtually anywhere except a few big cities.
2:52 It musta been something really dorky cuz there’s no way he doesn’t remember what the forum was about, haha
Gotta have some Joshua, Yung Chomsky too!!!
Do you think they explored each other's bodies after this
two absolute hunks discussing what really matters in life: gettin BIG. great episode josh & yc.
Shoutout to all the other dorks who were on /fit/ in 2014.
Yung Chomsky and Derek Die Workwear on together to talk about online culture and men's clothing/style would be the dream guest lineup.

Wait yung Chomsky can talk ?
I feel like he talks in almost every episode now
Lmfao. Gotta check the Seinfeld outfits mini series he did.
Had no clue that Yung Chomsky had so much to say on lifting!
Oh man, this really took me back! I had such a similar fitness journey - I spent so much time on Strong Lifts and Starting Strength around that era.

always fun to see where you place the shell drops, lovin the journey
Didn't watch but this guy and the commenters are talking about weight lifting like it's a novel thing??

Yung Chompsky is my fuckin mascot. Loves lifting and programming, overall CHAD.
the entire thing is about weight lifting....
THE FACE REVEAL.
To be quite honest, I imagined Grant from mythbusters.
the first google result for "rippetoe" is an ai slop summary of starting strength
I feel like I'm listening in and everything is just so cute in this world
