That same exact situation with the girl sitting on the guys bench happened to me last year. I was doing rear delt raises on the back of the bench, and in the middle of my set, these 2 girls come over, and one of them just plopped herself on the bench. I didn’t even bother hanging around, I immediately noped out of there because I assumed I was being filmed. People are weird.
It's because females desire attention and when we are working out minding our own business they can't help but try and get attention. Seems like they are craving it so hard they will get in your face now. What an age to live in..
We talk a lot about teens on juice (and rightfully so), but we don't talk about elderly men. Clearly some of these guys are not just on a gentle trt and are pushing their body to the limit at age when their liver, heart, vascular and skeletal muscular systems are not 20 any more.
I am from Spain (from Barcelona but living in Valencia right now), I can confirm this guy is the only person in the world, the gardeners of the square I live by just told me. I was flabbergasted to know this so I guess I'll have to move back to Barcelona.
James, it makes my day whenever you do a fitness circus round up. I know you value evidence, honesty, and good sense, so your tone, while humorous, is authentic. I could enjoy your droll commentary on just about any social influencer niche, honestly. So if you ever want to start a round-up channel, I will subscribe and watch.
Absolutely love your videos king and that intro was 👌. Just know all the influencers see your videos and they hate people calling them out on their bullshit. Keep it up my man! Thankyou!
I just started going back to the gym after a 2 year hiatus. Feeling really thankful I haven't witnessed any of the obnoxious behavior as displayed in many of your videos but I feel like it's only a matter of time I'm forced to burn the gym and everything in the vicinity 😭
More than half of the fitness gurus on UA-cam are trying to get that coin and will say and do anything to gain an audience, mostly it’s taking a douchbaggy approach of toxic masculinity and profiting off of people who are vulnerable and quite frankly without being disrespectful “sheep or herds” of angry people looking for someone to blame… I follow A LOT of this craze to keep an eye out because I feel like it’s very dangerous and it’s thanks to channels like this one which calls out this kind of behavior and puts it on full blast.
I've had some encounters with them and see them but they're a minority of gym goers. most notable was the guy on roids who decided to scream at me for wasting gym space for doing cardio unfortunately for him the yelling caught the attention of one the trainers who does caber toss events who wasn't having it.
Note to Larry Wheels, in agreement with James (from my diary/book): "York said to keep away from all SARMS even if they’re legal. He said DARPA, part of the US military, tested them for their Panacea program but found too much interpersonal variability, as in unpredictability. In some people, side effects were relatively tame, but in others they were sudden, serious, and strange. He said the military wanted them to be good as they’re always interested in an edge, but what they found disturbed them. Wouldn’t be specific other than say it was much worse for younger recruits. Said they banned them while most organizations didn’t." As for the girl in the intro, here's a lignter entry... "Then I whipped out the rocket and gave her a face like a painter’s radio."
Love your video James about to start my fitness journey for summer (in New Zealand) and have to say it’s so good to watch your videos for the humour and the science without the BS - so sick of these “get ripped quick” jokers and I know now that it’s a lifestyle change - I’ve got depression and my wife is an amazing support person who works out daily but I never have the drive between work and being a dad but I reckon If I can stick to just turning up to the gym doing my workout and calorie deficit daily I’ll be on my way ! Thanks again mate I’m British expat so I spread the good word over here too haha - Joe
One of my friends recently started taking roids. I tried everything I could to convince him not to, but I guess it's just natural selection at this point. Still, I worry his health will take a downwards spiral. I'm gonna send him this video too, maybe that'll throw him off a bit.
Does he have some sort of health condition? Taking hormones at reasonable dosages and for short periods of time followed by PCT really wont have any affect on a normal healthy individual. The problems come when people equate taking higher dosages with getting more results and not stopping to recover. There are no acute side effects. It is a cumulative thing when they are abused. Telling your friend to stop likely wont do anything. Instead educating himself on anabolics in general is really the best thing you can do
Renaissance periodization has good vids about "responsible" steroid use. I wish you best of luck and a good friendship despite your friend's risky choices in life. In the end, it's up to him to decide how to live his life, regardless of how it affects those who love him.
A guy, I used to do calisthenics with, got into Roids. He passed away a month ago at the age of 27 (same as me). That showed me I chose wisely not to take them back then.
The correct translation to único sobreviviente is sole / lone survivor (only doesn't really apply as único is an adjective for the noun sobreviviente) . Love your videos mate.
unico sobreviviente is a social media campaign by the tourism board of vallencia. the team reaches out to a location or city itself before hand and asks to have it closed off to give the appearance of desolation. theres no editing tricks, delayed filming, or time traveling involved. just a please and a thank you to promote the ciudad de vallencia.
Awesome intro. I can feel the dystopian nightmare we are a part of. Thank you for the future Tiktoker. Invite the guy to film your house. Especially if you're going to move soon!
Earbuds/headphones are the international introvert sign language for "leave me alone". I wonder how "quirky" it would have come across if the rolls had been reversed
Exactly my man! “Shall I go over and touch her face? She looks depressed. She said can I help you MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!” It’s not trolling, it’s pathetic and in the event a guy did this they’d rightly be crucified.
James, where did you get those cushion covers behind you? Is that Persian writing on them? Are you Persian? Have you played Prince of Persia? What is your opinion of Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince of Persia in the 2010 action/adventure film; Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time?
the lift at 7:40 is a strongman lift. I cant comment on the mans form but there is a lift like that and Victor Blud is great at awkward lifts like that
I feel like the gym is one of the few places where I feel privilege as a black woman-no one approaches me because I’m scary or angry or something like that. (At least I imagine it as a privilege, being left the f*ck alone when I’m on a mission.😅) Though a guy did compliment me on my pull ups recently. Felt nice. Otherwise it’s a lot of “I’m sorry, let me move that, my bad” etc.. Meanwhile I’m just existing in the space and not trying to be in anyone’s way. I’m glad that where I live is low-key and no one’s filming for reactions to foolery.
@@unwnme Honestly, if I make it to that age, I'm sure I'll know that experience. I think the only gym that I've ever been to--beyond gyms that I've worked--where chatting is common and not too intrusive is the Family Y in my hometown. They really put the "family" in there.
Why is it that everyone is going around looking for "privilege" now? Do you want to know what being treated well all the time is like? Go to a small town anywhere in the United States.
5:32 yep you are correct this was film in lock down period in 2020 and turns out this stunt is actually a promo materials for a tv shows if i remember correctly
Thats a great way to put it man! Its an extreme sport, no one is shaming downhill mountain bikers for jumping of the sides of mountains and almost killing themselves everyday right
James is now in the backrooms. We will miss him.
Although, like that time traveller, I'm sure he'll be able to post content directly into our world.
I literally only just heard about this yesterday, good luck to him though
Turns the corner and finds a bunch of Shake Weights.

Woah no way. Were the two girls microphoned up and recording you for 5 minutes too? Insanity out there I tell you. >.>
Crazy that we live in a world where women only interact with us because they want clout
Women ☕️
Good move, sir. Not giving these garden tools attention is their kryptonite.
You got me! I was trying ro skip the vshred commercial until i realized it was embedded in your video
almost got scared that i was not seeing a bald man for the first minute
🤣
For a moment I thought he stopped being a natty and artificially enhanced his follicular capacity.
why did this video come out so cursed
🤣🤣🤣
The production quality of these reaction videos is going through the roof - can't wait till this in Imax
WHAT AN INTRO, James. Truly inspirational. I shed a tear.
But the outro is the true hero of this story
Crying is killing your gains.
u mean shred?
@@lilcups18 'eye shred a tier"
And what an outro!!
The editing on this is just TOP NOTCH. Brilliant work
"Angry bird" I burst out laughing at this one
Loved the actual gym shark ad playing as this video started, couldn’t have planned it better 😂
We talk a lot about teens on juice (and rightfully so), but we don't talk about elderly men. Clearly some of these guys are not just on a gentle trt and are pushing their body to the limit at age when their liver, heart, vascular and skeletal muscular systems are not 20 any more.
*LOL that bird is a comedian! how funny was she lol she sat on the blokes bench after he walked off! can't contain my laughter here* 💪😆👍
I can't have been the only one who backed away from my phone at the outro in case of a jump scare.
The production is improving man and the humor is on point as usual. Praying for your escape from the backrooms.
I think the world might have broken our adorable Shreddy.
I am from Spain (from Barcelona but living in Valencia right now), I can confirm this guy is the only person in the world, the gardeners of the square I live by just told me. I was flabbergasted to know this so I guess I'll have to move back to Barcelona.
Does that mean we are all just reflections of his split consciousness?
IMDB rates this intro 10/5 stars. "Truly brilliant."

Unico Sobreviviente seems like a really cool ARG setup but even if it's just a digital art project it's still cool
My thoughts exactly; a really cool idea, I hope it turns into some kind of sci fi-series.
Love your videos, and yes, you are right, "unico sobreviviente" means "only survivor"

Don't worry, it's rare you see this kinda stuff. Hell, I wouldn't know most of this stuff even happens if it weren't for UA-cam.

Dude's looking like a men in black alien shrimp lmao 2:40
You had me smashing the skip button with that vshred ad 😅
Shit for a sec i 2 thought it was real was about to skip
Genius as always. Waiting for the next one already
Hope you do ok in the backrooms, don't do anything Ronnie Coleman would never do.
