LARPing as an Athlete ("Functional training doesn't exist") 😤
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2023
- According to @NaturalHypertrophy functional training doesn't exist! It's all just a big, functional cope, and anyone who tries to be train in a "functional" fashion, or uses functional exercises and lifts (basically people who do athletic things, as opposed to meathead things) is "LARPing as an athlete."
Modern society has seen it fit to render the act of functionality dysfunctional by making it obsolete. A moot point.
Superfluous.
Unnecessary.
Archaic.
But just because something lacks a direct "function" in a backwards world that glorifies total non-functionality, does not mean that that thing is without INTRINSIC value to the individual who possesses it.
This video is a tribute to the ideals of overall functionality, high level performance, and bada** athleticism that have captivated and served mankind since its inception all those hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Today I will honor my ancestors by LARPing as an athlete! You're welcome @theliverking

Him saying "most people who do functional training..." basically means Athleanx etc. I dont think NH would call Alec an athlete LARP. 🤷♂
yea. the devil is in the detail; its in the simple fact that functional training is a buzzword... some use it to describe that they want to get better at performing usefull functions in live and others to pretend their lack of sucess hasnt to do with them sucking at training well
It means the followers of people like Athlean X, Joel Seedman and other similar charletans. It doesn't mean people like Alec, you can even see how much respect he has for him and his training in his "Rating fitness youtubers" episode including him. I don't know why Alec even made this video.
@@anonymousman4419 i saw Alec say that this video was a joke when replying to other people in the comments, so i guess he knows that NH isn't talking about him. He managed to drum up a big shit storm with this video tho lmao.
@@anonymousman4419....decimated in the deload debate???? Did we watch the same debate?????
@@anonymousman4419 if "bias" is the only thing separating our opinions of how the debate went then I don't believe that "decimated" was the correct word. Unless of course you meant it in the inverse ;)
He did say "Most people". I'm sure he wouldn't say you or someone like Will Ratelle are larping. A lot of functional fitness tends to cater towards CrossFit more than actual plyometrics, explosive lifts, and sprints. A lot of people who say they do functional training simply just want the association that comes with it. Most aren't doing what you are showcasing here. I think it's just a matter of definitions and people trying to get a sense of prestige.
Will Ratelle is a monster
@@likemy wide face, big neck
@@likemy Yeah he is, his size and speed is scary.
You are actually strong and athletic and know how to program, a lot of people call their training "functional" when its just an excuse to train like a pussy and be pretentious about it (COUGH JOEL SEEDMAN)
Sidenote: given your athleticism have you ever done tricking or parkour?
uff. joll.. why is he called functional.. remind me, whats functional about joll
@@selda2528 Exactly. thats the point. a lot people call themselves functional but are just doing clown exercises like joel. Alec is not one of them since he actually knows how to train
obviousely... sadly to the average consumer hes the real deal
Also, the Rios bros. For them, anything which can help build muscle is bad, getting big is bad.
"functionality" can be a recursive kind of question. For instance, if someone asks me "what is the function of that exercise you're doing" and its a curl, I would say to grow my biceps. Then they ask but "what is the function of big muscles/big biceps?" and I would "it makes me happy". Others might say it'll give me status and help me get girls. whatever floats your boat. Then I see them doing jumps and ask what the function is, they say, to jump higher. So then, "what's the functionality of being able to jump higher" without using the copout of saying that, for some reason, jumping higher is inherently functional but building bigger muscles is not (which is not fair or logical) they might say something like "so I can dunk" or "so I can jump over this wall". Then I have to ask again, as many times as it takes, until we reach the same answer I gave for the function of bigger muscles, "it makes me happy and fulfilled." "it keeps me healthy, (mobile) and alive". "i enjoy doing it/being it." These are the fundamental reasons for training (or doing anything for that matter), whatever we want to call ourselves, whatever methods we want to employ and whatever secondary goals we deem important to our happiness and health.
Agreed!
This is too nuanced, rational, and not polarizing. Please change your comment so I can criticize what you have to say.
No one in the UA-cam lifting space can say anything without brushing against this man's pride xD. Never change Alec.
This video was mostly a joke. It's not really pride though. I just think the fitness industry is lame, by and large. That's all it really is. I really shouldn't be a part of it lol
@@EnkiriElite, Nothing wrong with petty pride.
I'm not gonna re-listen to that whole NH video but from what I recall the conceptual person he's talking to is someone who has gathered from various places that certain exercises are "functional" to daily life, and have a high intrinsic value because of it. Pullup being one of those exercises, and curls being not functional. In this example he then say (I loosely quote) "curls are way more functional than pullups, because you do curling motions way more often. Also pullups under a bar doesn't correlate to climbing as much as actual climbing."
Alec, of course, is an exception to NH's statement of "most people...".
I think its cool that the fitness sphere do different things as it keeps everything interesting. Funtional fitness gurus are laughable, however Alec has proved on multiple occasions he is funtional but has TRUE athletic capabilities
Bro,all i gotta say is, you are my goals.
Good luck bro! Seeing your body's athletic ceiling improve over time is a type of satisfying that only a small percent of people get to experience!
I didnt expect this to be how the two of you collab, but i aint complaining, love both of yall content
It's better to LARP as an athlete than as a Merc.
That fence jump about 2 mins in. Wow, that was really impressive.
Bro come on now you know damn well he ain’t talking about you.
That's not really the point though.
@@EnkiriEliteImma be honest man that comment was 100% knee jerk reaction to the use of the word “functional” and “larping” from recognizing you and NH as very credible content creators in the space. Shit I mean I can appreciate that this video is meant to be ironic (hence the incredible display of speed and athleticism produced from your proven methods) and honestly I think this is a sign I’ve been chronically online the past few days. Truthfully I had no business not taking this video for what it is and know better. L on my part and have a good night.
Damn! You're athletic ! You must have recently purchased an Athlean X training program !
😂
This one best videos!!!!! I love compilation. The problem is not enough people hooked on hypertrophy will even look at it. If so they would be shamed.
The Michael Jordan of youtube fitness “ i took that personally”
Noble Natty beef only weeks before the season 2 anime intro is released. This is gonna spice up some things
hey enkiri!! ive been a huge fan of your weighted chin ups + weighted dips video and also your amazing guide of getting bigger legs by getting stronger. That being said,I would like to hear your opinion on Renaissance Periodization's vide of " getting stronger wont help you get bigger" since it contradicts the videos that you have made.
Nah it's not in contradiction. Mike clearly states strength will potentiate more muscle growth, he gives analogy like brushing teeth will increase your chance of getting laid, but by itself it won't.
Alec said the same thing alternating between strength and hypertrophy work for legs.
Now this is inspiration! You're a fucking beast dude!!!
To me, training just for the purpose of looking "good" ( whoever decides this I'm not sure 🤔) is a rather feminine endeavour.
I was raised around truly grounded,tough, strong and proud men.
In the environment i grown up in it was necessary to physically fight to survive ( 1970's Northeast UK)
In the final analysis, it's great to look "good" but the idea of having no physical ability to back it up is really just indicative of the times we are living in
Your strength training should be an adjunct to your effectiveness as a man.
Ironically this'll work out healthier in the long run anyway.
Yes because lifting hundreds of lbs to build androgenic traits is feminine behavior. Since most people here live in the U.S, wouldn’t it be more practical to carry a gun? Also I would argue that defusing a situation without resorting to violence is a skill that shows emotional control, which is inherently masculine correct?
@@souljatroy3930 This ⬆️ is exactly my point ,he thinks "LOOKING" like you've got masculine traits actually equals effectiveness physically.
What if someone insulted your wife or girlfriend right in front of you? Your child? Your mother? Elderly father?
Caught them burgling your house?
What are you going to do? Lift your shirt up and dazzle him with your abs?
That feeling you get when you're being intimidated or threatened,that fear thats actually adrenaline,can you control it and launch an effective response?
Or have you convinced yourself its not "emotionally mature" to stand your ground and hold your hands up? 😂🤣
That's called building your inner muscle,a strength that you can't see.
Its why you'll admire and respect tough athletes like wrestlers,Boxers,MMA fighters,NFL players etc.
Its a normal healthy mammalian response to admire that which we'd ideally like to be based on physical hierarchy clearly,thats why the sports ( yes real sports not posing in a mirror) make so much more money than whatever it is you do.
@@Croissantrophy.meme.channel Yes, you're in for a wild ride,pencil neck.
@@ThePitPony There's nothing feminine about wanting to look better, but it's good to have strength that matches the way you look
@@RPM1776I never said there was. Fighting ability is what it comes down to, otherwise you're a 'nice looking nothing'
Thats ultimate functionality,thats why they teach special forces hand to hand combat techniques as well as a high level of physical fitness.
Good shit brotha!
What's your max vert Alec?
I am eagerly awaiting the continuation of this beef.
You should visit the ATG HQ. It would be interesting to see you visit there as your story ark isn’t "I sucked, got injured, started training ATG style, now I’m better and still improving". You just shifted what you were training for and found ways to work around pain yourself.
I think what NH was attacking here was the notion that "functional" training can be a unique style, when training for a specific function is just best practice. This is where the LARPers come in. They see a name, an identity to subsume, to grant themselves undue authority that covers for their lack of personal development or growth. What separates the LARPer from the true athlete like yourself isnt just being willing to compete, its in the clear and precise definitions of the functions one is training. The true athlete may even have the goal of being a more functional person, that is, to improve their performance in a variety of movements and positions (which they may arbitrarily attach importance to as being "natural" movements like running, jumping, climbing) but they even then, as part of best training practice, they must still be specific in the way they train these physical qualities. Whether one is a larper or an athlete is not determined by their level of performance or time spent or anything other than the level of their understanding and application of training principles to get results, kind of like the difference between beginner/intermediate/advanced not being arbitrary numbers on s/b/d but the level of training/programming as it relates to the rate of progress. The distinction is evident in the methods and understanding of the fundamental principles. Which is why we can call people like yourself athletes (or whatever other identity you like to be called) and other people who use the term "functional" as a cope to hide their lack of direction, knowledge, expertise so they can get clout, grow a following on social media and scam people out of their money and, more importantly, their time. Anyone that is willing and able to push the human body to its limits naturally, be it in athletics, muscle building, other sports or physical endeavours over a lifetime of training is worthy of respect in my book, especially those can demonstrate an extended period of results and high performance relative to their cards they have been dealt in life.
I think NH meant with LARPing and functional training meaning doing "functional training" to pretend to be an athlete (or roleplay as one, hence LARPing). Doing something for fun or for a purpose (e.g. to get in the military/police etc) is not LARPing. However, that's my interpretation of his words.
A charitable interpretation
Now that's top tier LARPing, right there. +10 strength
A true renaissance athlete!
Damn man, what is your time on the 100m sprint? I've been wanting to get more explosive and sprinting really appeals to me, any tips?
gotta start by working your way up to being able to sprint max effort without hurting yourself. then you take it from there by adding complexity.
@@EnkiriElite Alright thanks, I'll do some research. Have a nice weekend man
To be fair he did say "most" not all, nor did he imply anything about Enkiri.
NH works in tech so it's not surprising he would have such an isolated take. Natural lifting UA-cam has become a massive echo chamber between a few figureheads.
Agreed, there's a reason why I escorted myself out of that echo chamber.
Alec, off topic, but do you ever do any upper body exercises on your lower days or keep them totally separate?
Typically I don't. Sometimes ambiguous things move in though, like DB high pulls on an upper day or push presses on a lower day. But those are only ambiguous because they are actually full boxy exercises. In general I keep things separate because I am fresher that way.
@@EnkiriElite do you usually do those workouts on back to back days (mon upper, Tues lower for example) or put a day in between?
When I hear functional training, my mind goes to type of training for specific function or set of functions like navy seal or military training. Marksmanship, running, swimming, para, combat training, weight training a mix of all things.
This arises the question, what is an athlete? Although one can complete athletic movements does that make them an athlete? Does competition make someone an athlete? Or some combination of the two.
P.S. pretty sick montage
How high was that max vert clip? It's gotta be close to 40"
I do believe they were right around, and slightly above, 40 at that time! Not sure about this particular jump though.
Imagine believing that there's absolutely no point to functional fitness outside of athletics. What a joker.
are you talking about nh or Alec?
I feel like it was clear he was not aiming that comment at people like you who are actually athletic. The use of the word "most" leaves plenty of room for people who are actually athletic. It was clearly aimed at those who are neither athletic nor aesthetic and cope by claiming that they care about function only despite also failing at that.
That's not fair though. Just because you are "not athletic" does not mean that there is nothing to be gained by doing athletic things. But with that ideology being pervasive, if I wasn't athletic then me doing athletic things is some sort of affront that should cause me embarrassment which would eventually lead to me...not doing those things.
You can't have it both ways. It's not congruent or fair. Not everyone is naturally fluid in movement. Doesn't mean they shouldn't move.
How many times has Alec essentially said working out for aesthetic purposes isn't a worthwhile goal, so I feel it's only fair
Also by that very same logic me training for aesthetics while being unaesthetic is also a cope because I'm "LARPING" at the thing that I haven't yet achieved. that is circular logic. It doesn't make sense and it just acts as a dererrent.
@@EnkiriElitei didn’t take it as him making fun of someone who can do sprints and high jumps. I took it as him making fun of ppl doing pistol squats on a bosu ball and other dumbass exercises and calling it “functional”
@@garrettbaratheon567 Yes this is what I believe he was aiming at as well, who's that guy that promotes stuff like this again? NH could have expressed himself more clearly here for sure I think.
what sports do you like playing alec? no shade just curious
Tennis, you see the racket in the back at 0:24
Functional bros are up late at night hoping Alex Enkiri doesnt find them.
Not that I'm an important person and that my opinion matters but I respect you infinitely more because you called out Natural Hypertrophy
Cutting through all the noise and garbage is the simple, undeniable truth that jumping and running around is fun and good for you. If you're not doing, you're missing out. The end.
Train for whatever you want and don't be ashamed of it 😁
Agreed!
how do you not get shin splints with sprints and one leg hops
Build up your intensity and workload over time, just like lifting
Shots fired!
The noble athletic community is born?
I'm down! That's what's missing on youtube imo
NH LARPs as an intellectual. Old news.
So good
I don't think NH was targeting you! This feels like my uncles fighting 😂
Non-negotiable

I had to remove some bushes in my yard. I grabbed them by the root and basically deadlifted them out of the ground. Functional af
Live Action Role Playing!!!
What's your 40yard and 60yard and 100m out of interest
Honestly though, bodybuilders LARP as athletes all the time
Especially when they say "bodybuilding as a sport" like mf there is no objective athletic endeavour you are partaking in, the weights are lifted outside of the competitions, there is no performance aspect and no, the posing part is not that
@@DolphR I mean almost all natty youtube fitness bodybuilders agree with this, even NH. He has even said himself that bodybuilding is an art, and that he is unathletic. The people who say the opposite are mostly insecure gear users.
I don't know why "Larping" has such a bad connotation, yeah, I like to larp as a bodybuilder, I like to larp fictional battles, I would like to larp shooting stuff doing some airsoft, I like to watch people larping medieval stuff or WWII stuff.
Is great to "larp".
I honestly agree! I think the negative connotation arises because of the stuff that pops up first when you search for the term lol basically just "cringe" things
larp at being a larper, that's next level 😎.
yes, yes, very impressive larping, but what's your bicep measurement? hahaha
many times people are too binary when it comes to boxing themselves into a training category. for a body builder, literally building a healthy and capable body, one might imagine overall function (apologies, larping) might be important and not just muscle size alone. muscle mass can have its pros, and cons, but is only one aspect of a well rounded individual.
What even is an athlete and what is functional and what isn't? You are an all around athlete, because you don't compete in a particular sport right now (to my knowledge) and you value many different aspects of fitness, you are a solid all around guy. But many sports aren't like that, which has it's athletes hyperfocus on one thing in detriment of others. Being good at other things would serve no function in their main activity, so how is their training any less functional? Some people wouldn't consider bodybuilding and powerlifting as sports and their practitioners as athletes. But as an actual athlete, you do recognize there is overlap between traditional strength and hypertrophy training and other athletic capabilities, this is part of why you are such an all around beast. But why are people who focus on those modalities, which provide the foundation for many other athletic capacities, often seen as lesser athletes? His point was unlikely aimed at people like you and more at the "I train with a functional coach/in a functional gym, therefore I'm more of an athlete than this NH guy who only lifts" crowd
Also, saying this a modern issue is funny. People always developed their capabilities based on the requirements of their environment. Unbalanced skillsets are part of a organized society. Were archers less functional than other warriors since they had a unbalanced body and strength but probably didn't move as much in battle? Would a good vert help a hard working farmer move more hay? I love the idea of increasing my vert because I love jumping, but as a software developer, that would make no difference in my daily life whatsover. It wouldn't be functional to me unless I had to jump frequently which I never HAVE to. Lifting is more functional since I have to carry heavy things in my daily life much more than I ever need to sprint or jump.
BUZZAAthatwasfuckingezGODDAMNIT
I wanna larp Enkiri training
Do you think that you think he was talking about someone like you, someone athletic, as opposed to clowns like AthleanX?
Functional is sorta another word for specificity
Sick
Enkiri would lay NH out
I dunno, weight classes are there for a reason, and NH has done boxing. Neither of them train combat sports as their primary modality so would be a pretty amateur fight all things considered.
@@cromdevotee449 Eh, it would be close. I don't know if Alec has any martial arts experience but he is atleast more athletic than NH. However NH is way bigger, both in weight and height and has atleast some boxing experience (as far as i remember, he did boxing for a bit as a kid, never anything serious). Either way this is such a childish debate. Who cares if one youtube can beat another in a fight. Neither of them are good fighters.
what if we're unaesthetic and unathletic but enjoy training both modalities because they are F U N
Then you're a super Larper!
Based
With that logic any activity not done professionally is just Larping, pick up basketball… NBA larper, boxing classes fighter larper. lol
Some guy in ankther thread on here basically said that too! So essentially we shouldn't do *anything* to get better because that just makes us LARPers lol. 99% of aesthetics brahs are LARPing at aesthetics because they don't look good.
I follow and like NH quite a bit. He's not talking about you brother
When i think of "Functional training" i mostly think of someone :
Avoids Strength training & Hypertrophy , Avoids basic true and tested lifts .. and does weird stuff for the sake of being "Functional" , and mostly it's a f**ing sh*t show ..
and when i think of someone like u .. who's Big , Strong , athletic .. i think of him as a Hybrid athlete like u said !
Even NH said once about u :
"Alec is like a Jack of all trade master of none , except that he's a master of all actually"
everybody is LARPing somehow
You can phrase it like that, but that is just what being aspirational and acting on faith is. We all have goals, often we do not have yet a clear understanding how to reach them, so we try and fail and learn untill we hopefully do or find something else to look for. Every now and then peoples understanding clashes with each other and you get everything between a informative discussion and crusade. Either way, it makes good content.
i just have to say, people putting their own thoughts cool. but why people defending nh? I'm pretty sure he was against that.
Also Mr Enkiri. This video is motivating af. definitely a great one for my workout playlist. 🙏
I think you’re doing explosive performance (power) and agility training on top of you strength work 😅. Not really Larping 😂
I don't think there is an agreed definition of an athlete. Personally I think of it as someone who formally competes in a sport. So running around in your backyard would be LARPIng to me. But i also LARP as a bodybuilder so 🤷 I don't think it's a bad thing.
I wish I could LARP as well as you!
Lol to be fair most people doing “functional training” do not train like Alec. I’m sure hype respects him.
NH was directin at Jeff types I assume.
Fun video tho.
Wtf is this you’re not supposed to enjoy your training
the issue with most bodybuilding... ask yourselve why u get big... why u see it as such a great thing... nh wasnt interested at first but after failing everything he needed to compensate. also. functional depends on the content... the bigger issue is not nh. his content slaps... its the functional missuse. persons claim to be functional... the claim is the issue. couse they arent ... real functional stuff is great but it depends on the situation and goles.. jumping more... being more endurant or being more in the middle. how much emphesis on heavy lifting ... how much on movement ability. . sure u can mention the privilige to sit 24/7 but. it id beig unhealhy and leading to backpain...we need to bash fake functional shit.and not real functional stuff . i liked functionl patterns mention... its a dirty word becouse unfunctional shit gets pushed in.the name of functionality.. not becouse it sucks(real functionality slaps, false stuff blows) or needs to be combated(combat fake news and not truth), we need to be able to be minimaly fit in certain arias, like gpp... but at what point does it become.more than just gpp becouse u went even further beyond? and why not?

NH Fanboys be like: “ BuT mY hYPerTRopHY!!!! “ some of these 140 lbs’ers even claim you will look like a dyel if you do powerlifting as if you need HGH induced amount of muscles as a natty while also hypocritically supporting the idea of being a natural 😂😂😂😂
99% of aesthetics bros look like they've never even heard of the concept of a gym before, let alone actually seen one.
@@EnkiriElite I was debating a NH fanboy in the comments of another video,he was mindlessly hating on “ power building “ and complaining that a dude called revival fitness who does this style of training and plateau’d on a 315 bench, I looked at his profile and his back looked like a lead pencil bruh💀
Gonna lay another truth bomb. Doing “explosive or fast reps” with heavier weight does recruit fast twitch muscle fibers which help you explode more. But it’s not the only way to become fast and explosive. You can use lighter weights or almost any weight really, and as long as you go to failure you will become “fast and explosive”. And this is because as we know, going to failure recruits all the motor units, both slow and fast twitch. Meaning you can become as big as a bodybuilder and move like an “athlete”. But training to failure does take a lot on your bodies recovery resources, luckily you only have to go to failure once in your exercise to gain all the benefits I mentioned. Whether you do it in 1 set 2 or 3 is up to you. I personally use machines and do it in 1 because it’s the easiest most efficient way.
I'd rather people LARP as an athlete than succeed as a bodybuilder when success in athletics equals physical competency, fitness, and achievement and success in bodybuilding not only does not require health, but often necessitates physical and mental unhealth.
LARPing as an athlete doesn't mean trying to improve in athletic endeavours, which is respectable. It means doing some weird bosu ball pistol squats, or punching with cables because you saw you favourite youtuber do it and you want to pretend to be athletic, with out putting in the work to actually be athletic. And also the bodybuilding you talk about is enhanced bodybuilding, which almost no natural bodybuilders like and support. Natural bodybuilding is the opposite. By engaging in it you get better both physically and mentally, and you live a longer, more mobile and happier life than the average person, and especially more than the average enhanced bodybuilder, who routinely die in their 30s - 50s nowadays.
I'm tired of people using the word "functional" in fitness. none of what you showed is "functional training".
"functional training" is a meaningless buzzword used by people like Joel semen and asslean-x who really have nothing meaningful to say about training, so they play the algorithm by making up bs exercises and calling it "functional".
in reality, a bicep curl or a leg press is no less "functional" than any of the exercises you showed, it simply has a different function.
I think that people like you and the bioneer mean athletic exercise or gpp training when you use the term functional, but "athletic gpp" doesn't generate as much interaction as "functional training".
edit: I would also like to add that functional training is a redundant term, if training is *not* functional (which would mean that it has no function) then it isn't actually training because it has no purpose and doesn't result in anything.
All this just to be weaker than kinobody
Not sure what being a better athlete than 99% of people has to do with Kinobody.
@@EnkiriElite just a joke, you certainly know your stuff and tremendously athletic
Trust me he wasn’t referring to you lol
Functional training doesn’t exist. The only thing that can transfer over from an exercise to other things is strength not skill. If you get good at a certain exercise that requires a good level of skill congrats you got good at that exercise but the only thing that will carry over to everyday life or other skills is the strength you acquired. For example. Ring pull-ups. They aren’t magical and won’t do anything normal pull-ups won’t, they’re only hard because they require a high level of skill to learn and master. The only thing you’ll gain from ring pull-ups is strength you could have gotten doing normal pull-ups with less skill needed and less time wasted. The more skill an exercise requires you to learn the longer it takes for actual muscular strengths gains to happen, which by the way is the only thing that will carry over from said exercise, muscular strength. There is nothing magical about a squat over a leg press either when it comes to growing the legs. This would imply your body knows the difference between a squat and a leg press when in reality it only knows resistance. The skill component to a squat is the only difference which again, doesn’t transfer, only the strength does.
Lol
Youll be ready if Zombie Apocalypse comes but other than that all of this stuff is pointless and a waste of your life
As pointless as your comment, which is as pointless as hypertrophy training.
Yeah this isn’t larping. None of these were a sport. I’m not sure what it was.
Didn't realize "larping" was a sport 😂
@@EnkiriElite larping in this context means being over 22 and playing a sport (let’s use football) with no prospects of going pro
It doesn’t matter if you’re really good or a woman, you’re playing fantasy football. You’re not even doing that. You’re training, but there’s no big amateur game coming up to go larp at.

Say something like “most people who train functional are larping” and if they get offended and say something like “I train functional and I’m not a larper” you can tell they have a fairly low iq.
They have proven that they aren’t intelligent enough to comprehend abstract ideas like a statistical average. Why else would they bring up their exception as if it were a profound statement?
nothing profound here. this video was nothing more than an excuse to put out sprints and jumps in a format that would get people to click the video. not sure if you missed the point er wut tho
@@EnkiriElite yeah ik dw. This is just an old copypasta
Good video cringe music
Nah the passion is in the music, even if some rhythms are a little corny,they are way better than some generic trash about kush money and women
Hey Alec, I know this isn’t the topic of the video but could you do a video on some of these “diets” that are out now? In particular, animal based diets that cut out seed oils.
I know you ate things like nuts in the past but was wondering how your diets been.
I see truths in the claims, kind of like there are truths in vegan claims. So anyways, I was curious how you eat these days.
Keep up the good work man!
Edit: honestly, anyone out there who’s played with their diet in any way. I don’t really come on these pages for advice but rather for discussion with other like minded people🙂
