Is Krissy Cela ACTUALLY Promoting Good Information?!
#TeamForNeverLean #Fitness #KrissyCela
How do you prefer to train? :)
Wanna try new split- 2 days of full body, 1x lower and 1x upper body..meaning workout 4 days a week 🤔
"To if not close to failure."
@@austinhenshaw2140 haha you literally took the words out of my mouth!
@@loreleiford700 Bingo!
I like to do weighted workouts but for functional use. I am still working on evening out my hips and getting my shoulders working in the proper manner so not too much focus on progressive overload atm
Cardio is only really done in the form of dance workouts recently 😆
Just to add in the TFNL Bingo card
1. “Fitness is supposed to enhance your life, not injure it”
2. “That would be bloody splendid”
3. “I respect that”
4. “The best program is the one you can stay consistent with”
5. “You must do what’s best for you”
May need a 6x6 Bingo in the future.
Can we add "I am proud of you"
Top tier, haha!
You should review these influencers apps by doing the free trial for 14 days or whatever and reviewing the workouts they have on there and cancelling it before you get charged lolol. Just an idea, but love your videos and hope you have a great day! 😊
Haha yeh
Such a Good idea !! I have requested this aswell with krissy celas Tone&Sculpt App and her Strong Programm.
@@laffintyeu vera Laro also has a program called Strong Program but it's all free on youtube
Haha, this is definitely a good idea!
@@theladyfortress thanks for the Info :)
As a Tone & Sculpt app subscriber, I feel relieved that Krissy Cela is Harry approved! I don't feel guilty about spending my money on it.
I need to have a proper look at her app!
Ok, so I can’t be the only woman who questions why exactly women are socially programmed to desire being physically diminutive and to fear muscle growth, particularly upper body (arms/chest/shoulders.) Are we really that afraid of taking up space and looking as bad ass as we actually are? My opinion, women shouldn’t be afraid to get bigger. It’s nice to see the gains you’ve made from working hard.
Thank you. Totally agree that we should think about this a bit more. Interesting insight..
It's cause of what society tells us about stereotypical men, they like fragile and frail looking women
Couldn't agree more!! The gains I get most excited about are seeing changes in the muscle growth of my biceps/shoulders 😁 It annoys me that it's marketed that only muscle growth in the bum is what we should aim for 🙄
I rate this, women are perfectly capable of getting strong too and shouldn't be afraid of it.
@@cl5420 I have to buy anything with sleeves a size bigger (at least) to accommodate my arms and shoulders, but that’s ok by me bc I know that that is just another manifestation of my strength.
When Krissy started talking about training to failure, I was like oh yeah, Harry is gonna love this. I’ve really grown to appreciate Krissy; I think her workouts have drastically improved overtime and I love that she encourages women to lift heavy. I still hear so many women who don’t use weights because they’re scared of looking “manly”.
I personally still don’t love the cable kickback. I used to do them at the beginning of my lifting journey because all the influencers were doing them and I never found them particularly effective. They just feel awkward to me and I’d much rather do a hip abductor/adductor machine as a finisher.
You know it! She's definitely making good moves in the right direction but I'd still align with your views regarding the kickback, I do think there are better alternatives :)
IF ONLY growing muscle were that easy and quick 🤣. Even people who have a program dedicated to bulking have to put so much time and effort into it. And worrying about looking manly is very odd. Wonen don't have the same hormonal makeup and body composition as men, so even training the same way isn't going to make them look "manly."
The TFNL Bingo card is genius! Thank you Austin, and thank you Harry for being such a good human being 💕
No problem!
I appreciate you
Wooo! I’m early. This was uploaded just on time for my lunch break.
New to your station. Love the humor & fun, science & no-nonsense tips, and emphasis on total health - mental health, joy, kindness, etc. Very cool channel, thank you! You're small kine making me want to get back into a gym but I tend to enjoy home and nature workouts better and am more consistent doing those. I've learned a lot just by watching a few videos!
wait... you're telling me krissy isn't wearing lifting straps because she's under 5'4??? shocked and upset
So you’re saying if I find a way to grow taller my grip strength will improve 🤯😂
This reference killed me lol
This made me LOL!
Excellent idea on the bingo! As always, Harry. I learn every episode even if you do repeat the same phrases!
Thank you, Mary!
I’m glad Krissy is promoting people of all kinds to lift more! I’ll go check her out. I’ve actually been lifting more as well, now that I’m able to go to the gym I try to lift heavy! There are gains, but little gains!
Awesome video Harry 💪🏽
I appreciate you! :)
Hello!
this man is one of the very few things keeping me sane
ily
Thank you for the advice on rep range targets. The advice is golden for us less experienced lifters. Please keep the advice coming!! Also the stance for RDL. 👍
Always!
I will say, grip was by great weakness during deadlifts, I wouldn't get anywhere near proper intensity. I resisted using the straps all the time though. I would do one set with normal grip, one set with alternating and the last set with straps.
I was still increasing weight and now my grip strength has increased incredibly! Deadlifts are easy on the hands/wrists and I didn't have to ask anyone for help with opening a jar in months!
Opening a jar gains, we love it!
Hi Harry. Bloody splendid video as always! I have a question. I find it kind of hard to determine the number of sets that I am doing throughout a workout. Especially when thinking about taking it to failure. How would you recommend finding out how many sets you are supposed to do throughout the exercises in your workout?
Thank you! Depending on the workout, I usually hover at about 2-3 sets per exercise and 14-16 total sets per workout :)
For me, I have to stop at technical failure especially on multi-joint exercises using free weights. I am terrified of injuring myself.
Which is very fair!
Love the Tone and Sculpt app, it got me through lockdown and been watching her videos for years for cooking inpiration
Let’s goooo the like goal is overloaded!!! Liked 👍🏻👍🏻
At this point, I’m fairly sure these videos are uploaded with Austin’s comments already pinned 😄
It baffles me how he's so fast!
I have very few skills in life, this is one of them though.
@@austinhenshaw2140 it's just not fair. Like Harry's arms. Simply not fair.
@@Moose92411 I agree on the arms too ☹
You having the like goal and mentioning it actually makes me want to like your videos :)
Yay! Thank you :)
Just commenting for engagement :) love your content!
Thank you, Sofia
Hey Harry! Loving the videos and the podcast btw! You have recently referred to training the hamstrings in a shortened position a few times. Do you have any recommendations for this for when you don’t have access to a lying leg curl machine??
Thank you! Do you have access to a cable machine at all? :)
I do indeed!
@@Alex-jemma Try something like this:

I follow Krissy's workouts and I'm almost relieved that you approve! 😌
Hey, love all your videos and the insights you provide, always get to learn something.
CQOTH: I would love to know how to program the workouts. If I am targeting glute hypertrophy, would i be doing the same exercises (keeping in mind the progressive overload) in the same format every week or can those exercises (being glute focussed) be changed from week to week?
P.S. Keep up the good work!
I second this question!
Have you seen his free programming template in the description? He's got a video on it too which personally really helped me with programming my workouts!!
hey, i know im not harry but i just wanted to put my two pence in :) firstly harry has made a free programme template (which u can find in the description box) which basically advises you on how to structure a workout. my suggestion is that yes you should keep the 'variant' of the exercise the same every week until you can no longer progress in it, however you could do a different variation of an exercise in the same week on a different day! for example, on you first glute day you may wish to perform regular hip thrusts, whilst on your second glute day you may wish you may wish to perform paused hip thrusts, or kas glute bridge. different variations of exercises are great because they allow you to put more emphasis on certain muscles or target them in a slightly different way, or help overcome weaknesses!! (such as a paused squat). hope this was somewhat useful. have a great day
@@asiagrabowski6904 thank you so very much for both the tips. Gonna add them to my programming. Have a great day!
@@herbie13 thank you . Shall check it out.
Can you do a video about training to failure? As a beginner, I have a hard time knowing where my true limits are.
Ooo, good idea!
Her channel is great! Her form is on point. And I have implemented a lot of her techniques to help improve my form.
I love seeing you talking about Krissy, I am all here for it
so an rdl stance does kinda make a difference in the muscles targeted more ig? I never knew it - I thought you'd go lower or higher/have stiff legs or bend at knees depending on your flexibility/mobility levels
I love Krissy! I lost a bunch of weight without exercise. I HATE home work outs and I was so scared of going to the gym but Krissy‘s videos where so motivating and educational that I actually got a gym membership and I love it so much. I always wanted to be super lean, but I honestly love the way she looks. She’s my inspiration now, lol. I‘m glad you approved her ❤️
I wonder if adding Danyele Wilson as a trainer in the Tone and Sculpt app (in late 2020?) has influenced Krissy’s training style. I think they recently met in person for the first time and did a video where Danyele trained Krissy for a day. I hadn’t heard of Krissy until Danyele joined the Tone and Sculpt team. Would be curious to hear your thoughts on Danyele’s training style! She focuses on strength, power, and functional training with the mindset of an athlete. Thanks for the interesting and informative videos!
I absolutely agree
Second this !
Ooo, potentially!
Great video and just wanted to say did learn something that I didn’t know in 14 years training, and very important to me about hamstrings 🙏🥳
This makes me happy!
CQOTW: what are your views on taking Ashwagandha? I’ve recently bought some but not sure on all the research and evidence base behind it’s beneficial effects.
I need to explore and do some more research :)
Preach that working set thing! Your working sets are the ones where you're actually working, not ones where you're barely pushed.
Facts!
Hello! Fan here. I have a question specifically on the reps and sets section of this vid.
From what I understood, you may rule out the lighter sets as it may not be challenging enough to become a working set. Would it be helpful to, let's say, start with a heavy set even if you cannot make it to 8 to 10 reps? In other words, is it somehow okay to start with a really challenging weight (but realistic enough to not cause injury) even if you can only make, let's say, 6 reps?
Thank you in advance, sir
CQOTW: I'm relatively new to strength training and just recently got into working with free weights. To learn the proper technique, I'm watching a lot of videos online (e.g., by megsquats). Now I've noticed that when I back squat with a barbell and try to rise up from the deep squat, my knees make a weird move inwards instead of following the direction of my feet. I can move more weight this way, but it doesn't seem to be correct as it doesn't occur in the videos. However, nobody ever seems to address this, people just seem to expect that your knees automatically move correctly - or it isn't even a problem at all, I really don't know. Is this knee movement normal? And if not, how can I prevent it from happening? Whenever I try, I need to lower the weight significantly which doesn't seem right either as everybody keeps saying that the right technique allows you to lift heavier 🤔😅
I think you're referring to knee valgus. It is pretty normal, especially when you're close to maxing out, but I think it's preferable to avoid it? You should be able to find quite a bit of info online by searching something like "knee valgus squats"! I don't dare recommend any specific sources or fixes or any real advice though, I'm still quite a noob at weight training 😅 but hopefully it helps to know what it's commonly called
Your knees giving in (knee valgus) can indicate either not enough use of or strength in your glute medius. You should be pushing your knees out when coming through the squat. Try doing more adduction/abduction movements in your warm up and then see if that helps, if not, include them as exercises in your sessions.
People often lift heavier with the wrong technique, I.e. using lots of momentum when overhead pressing or doing lat raises. It’s poor form and can lead to injury and is pretty much just ego lifting really. True strength comes from perfect form and technique, which should be prioritised ☺️ of course we all use a bit of momentum when you’re really pushing close to failure, but form comes first!
@@baoderp4481 some knee valgus, especially with near maximal weights, isn't necessarily the most problematic but also not a bad idea to work on potentially minimizing it.
What is your opinion on wide vs narrow squats? Some people say your leg distance should be shoulder width or narrower. However my squats feel more stable and comfortable when I place my legs a bit wider than shoulder width
Squat university has a couple videos about squatting for your anatomy that you might find helpful! Ultimately, I think that’ll be the most important factor to ensure your squats are to depth without increasing your risk for injury.
Gotta do what's best for you!
Can you please share your thoughts on reverse dieting? Is it necessary (or does it even work) if you have been eating the same calories for a while?
On the list! :)
eight bingo boxes, but no bingo 😔 I'm actually doing Krissy's program! I think the reason her content is "improving" lately is because she's been testing and will be releasing another strength program next month (I think her last one was more circuit style/at home/"toning", which is why her content was more influencer-like for a while, for lack of a better term).
So close! I'm looking forward to seeing this new strength plan :)
Great video! Thought it was full of so many gems of knowledge. Can you recommend a good book that explains the technical stuff as simply to understand as you do? E.g. Rdl hamstring lengthened and line hamstring curl for shortened. If not please write one!
This comment very much made me smile, thank you! I actually can’t think of any off the top of my head but I am in the process of planning an ‘optimising hypertrophy plan’ which will include ample information :)!
@@TFNL I aim to please. Thank you I look forward to it. In the meantime, I may just have to re-watch all your videos with a pen and paper to write all these little gems down. I feel like you used to have something previously that was freely downloadable but tried to look for it the other day and couldn't find it as well.
@@crayzmarc I just started this last night with this video.
@@crayzmarc there's the Tier Programme in the description (I'll link it here too) for how to program for yourself based on your goals which also has other useful tidbits of information! 😀

i think 'social comparison theory (festinger, 1954)' and 'dead glutes' should be added to the bingo card XD
also thank u for answering my question xox
He didn't actually do the citation this time, just mentioned it 😞
@@austinhenshaw2140 youtube's gonna ban him for plagiarism now 😩😩😩
You're the best
Could you do a video about workout supplements, which ones are worth getting + not worth? It would be super helpful!!!
This is on the list!
I look like a proud mom whenever Harry “progressively overloads” the like goal yikess
Haha, love it! :)
I always watch your videos and nod to myself as if I’m in a meeting like “yep, noted . Yup!” Haha just me? :D
Haha, love it!
Happy video upload day!
I really love Krissy's workout videos on UA-cam and have learned some great cues from her. I've considered signing up for her program, does anyone know if there's any reviews of her programs?
I have the app & have seen great progress so far. There's a Facebook group for the app you can join without signing up for the app yet I believe. I'll send a link to the group if you can't find it
I've been a Tone and Sculpt member for a bit over a year now and it's amazing :)) Theyre going to be rebranding soon though but I know discounts are up atm :))
Honestly im only on day 2 of her "Home" program. Its a challenge but I feel so good! Ive been watching her videos for a while before I actually signed up. She's serious about what she does, very motivating, and informative. I highly recommend ❤️
I’ve actually been using her app since Jan 2022 pretty consistently. I have seen the muscle growth and differences in my body. 100% recommend and it’s very user friendly
I am a member of tone and sculpt and I love love love it. She is constantly improving the app. So many diff workouts and challenges to choose from. I recommend the app
I feel the bingo sheet might be missing "grip as limiting factor"
6:30 I am often adding the weight as I go and trying my best to finish the set. I call it the f*ck it / ego set. I find we think we aren't as strong as we are so we plateau because of our own brains (like with the like goal 😉). By just moving that pin or adding a bit more, you might surprise yourself - also your body has gotten into a good rhythm and the cues are in place.
I hit 205 on the abduction machine this week because one day i was like f*ck it, let's try 190lbs this set. I hit 1x400lbs (the max) in the seated leg press because i was excited to keep moving the pin down and trying a new weight every set and getting heavier each workout. Try it on the machines, you're likely not to get hurt as you would with free weights and you'll see how strong and bad*ss you are!!
Btw I'm female, 5"9 and less than 150lbs bodyweight, it is possible to be strong and not be closer to pound for pound from more bodyweight, dont get discouraged
Love Kris’s! 🙌🏻 she changed my life
"I guarantee you wouldn't say that to a family member or friend..." Totally agree. Too many see 'Internet people' as if they're little talking dolls that they simultaneously 1. want to be like and 2. want to hurt. (Weird analogy, but yeah.)
Also. I had to think for a second because I heard this sentence as, "I guarantee you wouldn't say this to a founding member of Friends, so..." LOL
Early gang
I hope you know I thought about you during my Bulgarian split squat today. 😏
This is probably the most beautiful thing anybody has ever said to me ❤️
Would love to see a video on Linn Lowes. She's pretty popular on Instagram.
I appreciate your hats every video
Please! Get in touch with Chikara Transformations !! You would have such a good dynamic and discussions together, I am super sure! You both do different content, but very similar true genuine and kind and educational approach!
Thank you for your videos!
Happy Thursday.
I love kas glute bridges and tempo training.
It is sad when people project their insecurities onto those who are putting themselves out there. It takes a lot of courage to be open and vulnerable within an online space.
This is my first time commenting, but first off, thank you for your content. This is definitely one of my favourite channels in the fitness realm of the UA-cams.
I was wondering whether you've ever looked at Lucy Lismore's content at all? She is very different from the 'influencers' you usually look at, but she is probably my favourite out there. She is a personal trainer, but there's much fewer actual workout videos on her channel, and generally more of a focus on balanced life style changes. Not hypertrophy oriented at all, and very suited to beginners also. She's mainly active on UA-cam and her Instagram.
Again, very different from who you usually look at I think, but since you made that video about people you would recommend, I thought I would mention her; she is definitely worth a gander, as one might say around these parts (just happened to watch this as I remembered, so posted here instead).
But regardless, thank you for your content, have been really enjoying this channel since I found it a few months ago!
I think she might be on the list, but I'll double check to confirm! :)
ETA: She is, so you may see her in a future video! 😀
@@austinhenshaw2140 ooohhh, that's exciting stuff, thanks for double checking, didn't even know there was a list to begin with! 😂
I appreciate you! She is indeed on the list so I shall have a gander!
So I squat and lunge the same amount... and now I'm questioning everything 😐😅
Just watched Krissy. I like her information and she is rather nice to look at, as are you 😉😊
You are too kind, Hannah
Bloody splendid needs to be in the bingo card too 😇
Could have easily made a 6x6 card TBH!
Good sir.
What is SO wild is that Krissy just posted a photo on IG that I literally sent to my trainer and said "I want to look like this." .....and somebodies out there calling her chubby.
Yes good talk thank you for this.. can you critique Hanna oberg I suggested Krissy but now I would like you to do Hanna oberg if you would please❤️🤗
Hannah was covered in this video!

@@austinhenshaw2140 I know I realized that after I wrote this. I watched that one after 💁🤦
I’ve started doing glute med kickbacks but I don’t rate the crossing over of the legs here - I’ve read it’s not an optimal line of pull and doesn’t line up with the glute fibres or natural body mechanics. I personally prefer a more upright glute med kickback with a shortened ROM without the crossover - for me it feels more natural and effective
I wouldn't disagree!
You're such a gift, Harry :)
Thank you
I agree that combo moves can be useless to one over the other. I can squat way more than I can do an overhead press
Bingo!
Hello all♥️
Love Krissy 😍💪🏻
She's fucking great dude I was super mad at first i thought she's going to get roasted, I am from Tunisia and I follow her throughout my workouts, it's a great content
Video Notes:
Yes, I’m the troll and the one that makes fun of you, and not the other way…and I always want to slap you.
Should have included “in the bin” and “calling out BCAAs as being useless” on the Bingo card.
Good technique review, wholesome commentary on body image/social comparison/social media, and ample humor. Another great video, not remotely a surprise!
Good video again, always killing it with your content and being a positive figure!
BINGO ON ME!
FITNESS DADDY TIME!
♥️
I need more material.
Tbh i would love to knit you a bucket hat to wear in one of your videos 🙊
Aaa’s, baa’s, caa’s, daa’s, eaa’s 🤣🤣🤣
Hi.
❤Krissy!
Bingo card made me LOL in line for coffee
Glad to hear it!
Are we going to progressively overload today?
I dislike her as a fitness content creator but enjoyed your video nonetheless. Great takeaways. 😊😊The person who called her chubby, wtAf ? This is why women get complexes lol. And yes I find the smith machine excellenttt especially for heavy lunges to failure and hip thrusts.
Love her 🙏❤️👊🏼
I got 7 on the bingo card.
Well She said it's not necessary but she loves the taste and makes the water better. Thats what she said ☺️
Technically no supplement is necessary if you’re eating a well balanced diet. I think when you compare BCAAs to something like creatine, necessary and effective aren’t interchangeable. So she can say they aren’t necessary, which she doesn’t in the particular video being covered, but that’s not really giving any rationale behind why. There’s also probably cheaper alternatives to flavor water, but I’m guessing she receives some women’s best products as PR since she’s affiliated with them.
I need straps, my grip SUCKS. I do bouldering to improove, but the strength of my legs is so much more than my hands, so, straps.
oh okay I see we're upping the goal to 1250 finally lol
We are!
I need help.
750 likes in the first 8 hours. You're golden for 1250.
Progressive overload your life.
King
I don't like snow :(
She used to be my favourite fitness influencer but stopped following her after the edited photo she shared.
Which one?
What?
Krissy fans attendance
My only issue with this video is that the title to this video, led me to think that Krissy was using poor technique. I don't know...the words used? It had a negative vibe when I read it. Obviously my opinion, but I am wondering if this was intentional to grab one's attention as it did to me. I love your content otherwise 🙂
I genuinely feel it should be a law that no one can publish statements regarding another person's appearance on the internet. Don't care if anyone thinks that lame.
Yo.
This is a non-supportive comment
Hi!
Trollololol.
