Yeah, Bret was huge for me when I began my lifting journey. I really appreciated his advice and materials. But I started noticing.....things. Things like you pointed out previously. If someone can't take a conversation or disagreement without blocking you...that's pretty sad. I think we all need to be open to some constructive criticism but these days we tend to just stay in our lanes and not listen to anyone else. It's sad because that's how we grow. 👍🏻
A man allegedly commits sexual assault, blocks you when your theorize on it, acts like a petulant child, and you objectively assess his content independently of his conduct. You are the epitome of professionalism and empathy, and we should all try to be more like you.
You have helped me so much over the past 3 weeks. You have encouraged me to lift heavier to failure and do lower reps. I even formulated my own 8 week training plan with all your advice!
You could maybe do a video about how to use straps, when to include them, and how they may benefit one's workouts. You've mentioned them several times but never really went too much into them
I don’t understand how anyone can block you 🤯 even when you criticize you do it in such a positive friendly way. Great video. Learned a lot as always 🤩
When you said: ‘it might be, I’m not sure, but it might be because of a feeling of guilt’ I laughed out loud, you are so kind! They obviously are triggered and know you are right 😉
I've been practicing handstands for months, kicking up into it or holding it with just the slightest support from a wall is not a problem...but actually holding one in the middle of the room still feels impossible haha
I kind of feel having you as a personal trainer must be so good. Not only you have the knowledge, but you also know how to deliver it. Plus, you are not "square" minded as many trainers are nowdays. Great video, appreciate it 👍
Hey Harry, first of all banging video as always. Second, could you make a video abount common injuries when weight training and how to go about them? I.e. tendinosis, bursitis etc. My doctor toll me to just stop training for a few month or in general, which in fact I dont believe to be the solution. Thank you💛
Video Notes: You know my thoughts on Bret, but I'll add he seems to be very against more current research on hypertrophy and biomechanics (why he goes after JPGCoaching and Ryan Jewers, though I also suspect he is jealous they are making him less relevant). If you did fall, the seismic activity would only be because of how massive you are. Need to do a transformation video with Spud and Bean in the gym, make a video series of it. 🐈🐈 Always love the content, and I'll back up the Growth Guide for being a valuable resource for anybody interested in hypertrophy!
If interested, James Linker from Shredded Sports Science showed a study that listed exercises from greatest to least activation for glutes. Study is titled "Gluteus Maximus Activation During Common Strength and Hypertrophy Exercises: A Systematic Review". The top 4 exercises were Step-Up variations, followed by Hex Bar Deadlift, followed by 3 types of Hip thrust.
Harry, I really love you and your content so much! I pray that you achieve what ever you want in life🙏🏼🌸 you are one of the best persons I have seen in my life, so honest, funny, kind, humble, genuine, smart, intelligent. I feel like you are a friend talking to me, never felt that before with an influencer/ content creator. Thank you for being you!!So much respect for you🥰🥰🌸🌸
Just saw a video of yours on stretching and I wanted to ask if you could do a video on dynamic stretching / mobility for the upper body. I always have many movements for the lower body in mind, but only a few for the upper body :)
Nope hip thrust = upper back is elevated on a bench glute bridge = upper back is flat on the floor KAS glute bridge = the same as a hip thrust but without the full range of motion, only focusing on the top portion of the rep like a pulsing movement, a similar range of motion to a normal glute bridge because of limited ROM in that position
Love this video Harry …. I must say you have improved a lot how you explain things and where you are leaning more towards. Now I dig you fully 😂 High 5 🙌 and this beard suits you so well …. My my 😊😊😊
i feel like with the hip thrust, when i squeeze fully at the top, it puts the load on my lower spine... so as much as everyone says u have to lock out at the top, i think there's a limit
I’m a big fan of the hip thrust and for years have incorporated it in my leg days. Especially at the beginning of my weight training journey. My goal at the beginning was to grow my quads and glutes as big as I could. But lately I’ve been noticing my quads have been taking over more during hip thrust so now I’ve scaled back on the hip thrust and have incorporated more glute bridges. The fun thing about strength training is that there’s really no wrong movement to perform. As long as you’re doing exercises with good form and performing the most effective ones for your goals. I tried Bret’s glute pyramid challenge and it was really effective for growing my glutes and quads. Kinda sucks that he blocked you because I feel as professionals it’s important for other to critique our work. I wouldn’t have expected that from him especially because he’s big on research and academics.
I would jump for joy if Bret blocked me. He is so PROBLEMATIC!!! And Sam isn’t any different from any other “content” creator… Anyway! Loving the TNFL workouts! So refreshing
for question of the week: Is it absolutely nessecairy for muscle growth to train till failure? Or can you build muscle with not going to failur?. Or is it okay to take one excersize to failure and the others still intense but not failure?
Hello! I I love your content! I train with Caroline Girvan and she uses a band for hip thrusts...Is the band necessary for this exercise? Does it make glutes working better?
She does regular hip thrusts just with a band? I suppose that'd force you to push out as you push up and could hit the glute medius, but since that's a MUCH smaller muscle it might fatigue quickly and limit how much you can hip thrust. If you do any unilateral work after, like lunges or step ups, the glute medius is a huge stabilizer so fatigue could affect those movements too. I'd just hip thrust normally and then hit the glute medius at the very end.
@@erikacook7323 With a band and with a dumbbell. I know that instead of focus on my glutes I focus on stretching out the band all the time. I also prefer my legs to be in a wider position.
@Patricia R. That's not a bad thing it just might limit your weight like I mentioned, and it's just so important to properly load a huge muscle like the glutes. Using a band and dumbbell at the end could be a really good way to get your glute medius and further fatigue the glute max as well.
I like Bret, and the girl Sam I don't know, but doesn't matter who is, if someone blocks someone because of an opinion is a childish behaviour, it shows how mature someone can be when in their feed only are positiv comments always.
I'd still say the thrust is better than the bridge, even if the bridge has higher activation, because you can load the thrust MUCH heavier. If I loaded 400lbs and did a bridge, at the very top where the glutes are working the hardest, gravity is now pulling all that weight down onto my arms and off the glutes. In a thrust all that weight at the top of the movement is being held by the glutes. The only way a bridge would really be superior is if you could somehow use a belt and connect it to a cable machine or something. Brett does not come off as likable or anything but he's competent, and honestly he and Jeff Cavaliere basically own my entire posterior chain sooo I can't complain about his results. His bands and bench are great equipment too.
@@dudejoe8390 Is there? Because I've seen thrust machines but as I have a home gym, the only time I'm ever in a public gym is for meets, and I'm not using machines then.
How dare you express an opinion. Especially a well-constructed opinion that is articulated professionally and in a respectable manner. Don't you know that's against social media law? 😄 Some of these influencers hate when people think.
I got blocked from 'The Fit Mother Project - Fitness For Busy Moms' :) The guy is explaining exercises and talking some pseudo scientific fat loss for older women, and is pushing some dubious 'fit mother' fat loss program :) He has over 300K subscribers! I also got a kick of his exercise demos :)
This has nothing to do with the video content but: Harry, I've just come to notice that you seem much more confident, relaxed and funnier in front of the camera! Or is that just me? I mean, not that you ever were not funny tho but like *a tiny bit more* in the best way possible!🥳 or at least that's my impression and I just wanted to say that it's such a joy to watch you (and your videos if course) and watching you growing even more confident. 🤍 Best warmhearted (home gym) greetings! PS: you motivate me so much to consistently work out and exercise in a more long-term oriented way and with a much healthier mindset.

Being blocked by Bret C should be a badge of honor for anyone who's called out his questionable training behavior. 🤔

I don't hold back my feelings towards Bret as well.
@@austinhenshaw2140 Good. Emotional moderation is great.
In moderation.
Isnt it kinda reasonable to not want to anything to do with a person who theorizes about a alleged sexual assualt you commited?
@@m8s96 no. You take accountability. Either you admit what you did, or you engage with the accuser. Running away is child's behavior.
@@Moose92411 Its kinda hard to expect people to take accountability for false accusations no?
I think being blocked by Brett is actually a really big flex😹😹
😅😅😅😅 true
Kinda off topic haha but I just got heavier weights for my birthday and I’m SO EXCITED GUYS❤
Congratulations!
Awww yeah!
Yay!!
Love this!
I don't know how anyone could get angry about your content. You're so uncommonly fair and balanced!
In the blocked by Bret C too club as of last week.
Congrats!! 👏🏻👏🏻
@@maryhamric best club!
@@austinhenshaw2140 For sure!

Please look into the Glute Guru.. He reminds me a lot of Bret and I don’t see anyone speaking up about him. He’s very physical with female clients.
Adore the doggie distraction 😂❤

I like the idea of successfully doing a handstand, but I lack the bravery for fear of obliterating my bones 😂
It's one of those things that, if taught properly, has lots of steps of progression so you don't get to the scary part for ages! 😅
@@thestraightupguide haha that’s true!
Same, my balance is bad enough on my my feet, let alone my hands !

Could you cover videos on calisthenics as well?

Informative and funny "Seismic activity may well be reported" 😂🤣
What the hell, I thought glute bridge and hip thrust were two names for the same exercise 😅
Nope
hip thrust = upper back is elevated on a bench
glute bridge = upper back is flat on the floor
KAS glute bridge = the same as a hip thrust but without the full range of motion, only focusing on the top portion of the rep like a pulsing movement, a similar range of motion to a normal glute bridge because of limited ROM in that position

@@hannahlorna8800 I have no idea either.
How many influencers have blocked you in total?
Can you please review Reincarnation the definitive fitness guide?
Who do you have blocked
On the first one - should we be leaning so far forward during glute kickbacks?
I'd still say the thrust is better than the bridge, even if the bridge has higher activation, because you can load the thrust MUCH heavier.

Imagine if there was bridge machine that loads the resistance at the right angle for you.

Hi.
Meow?
Meow. 😂
Y r pets there
He did NOT invent the hip thrust 😂😂😂😂 for sure he definitely gained it traction but he’s not the inventor.
First.
i'm baaaaaack
have you tried not criticising people and always being positive and nice instead of tearing people down :/ :/ :/
