What sort of TikToks should I upload?!
Debunking of misinformation, reviews of journal articles relevant to training, form critiques, showing how to perform a movement correctly with some biomechanics education thrown in, etc.
@@austinhenshaw2140 I second all of this
Arm workouts without any resistance 😉
Tik tok dances
@@ekt7794 😂😂 that would be hilarious!
Regarding judgment at the gym, I used to be nervous at the gym. I’ve been going a few years now and even if there was someone wanting to judge me, at the end of the day I pay to be at that gym. I pay to do my workout, to take that gym selfie, to rest however long I need etc. Lately I’m also getting bolder and dancing to kpop in between sets lol. And personally when I do notice other people at the gym my thoughts are usually “wow they’re strong” and “where can I get those leggings”
This is a big change!
Same here
Ugh. I still hate people who record themselves (and inadvertently others) at the gym. Please move on with your workout, Susan, I need to use the squat rack too.
Yayy! K-pop🔥🔥🔥🔥🏋🏻♀️
Not sure when it happened for me but one day it clicked for me that everyone else in the gym is doing their workout, trying their best. They're not specifically going there to judge other people. So don't care about what other people think. Focus on your work just like they do.
The gym can feel intimidating enough for people but maybe especially females, without the added fear of judgement from other women. Honestly that kind of just turned my stomach, I know she probably didn't even mean badly by it but it's just this superiority complex that some people have, I can't.
I understand
I get it but if you think about it, you’re cheating yourself out of your goal. Yeah people can be a holes in the gym but you’re there for you and your goals and it’s not easy but that should always supersede your anxiety about it. More over the more you face that fear the better you become and it goes away eventually. It breaks my heart when women don’t want to go to the gym because of fear. Sorry about the essay 😄😁
The worst thing that protein powder ever did to me was make me gassy and slightly constipated because I didn’t drink enough water or eat enough fibre to offset the protein’s effects 🥲
I feel this!
Video notes:
I truly look forward to the day you get over your insecurity with your body and size. You are an absolute unit and I'd guess many in the gym would love to be as big and strong as you, you tank. Work on applying what you tell others to yourself please. 🙂
YOU FINALLY DID "DO NOT GO GENTLE!" , I've been wanting this for a while.
....TFNL Bingo.
Other than all of that, good debunking of misinformation, and a positive message, video after video. Good sauce.
YOU ARE BOTH MASSIVE UNITS!
@@syemfergado263 This is facts.
ily, Sir

That last video of “surprising the muscle” actually made me laugh. If only it were that easy: I’m not going to lift anythi-SURPRISE LIFT
My consistent cardio is jazz and ballroom dancing. I never know how many calories I burn while doing it, that’s not why I do it. It’s just fun and I love doing it.
It was quite funny!
I mean you can figure it out easily enough if you measure your intake and weigh yourself, but unless you're trying to lose weight or gain weight in a super strict way, why bother?
@@davidpeters6743 Very true! I’m not trying to change my weight right now. Just maintaining a delicious, nutritious diet and lifting weights to keep up with my kids, ha.
thank you for the running defense ❤️ I run to get in shape to do a marathon. my dad died this summer from colon cancer. years ago, he and I ran our first marathon together. now, I want to get back into shape to run a marathon with the cancer society in honor of him.
Take a shot every time Harry says 'bits and bobs', 'tickling', 'waffling' or apologizes for being basically perfect. Try not to die, friends.
Edit: Also 'tolerate' in any context.
All stuff to be added to the TFNL Bingo too.
@@austinhenshaw2140 I didn't realize that there was a Bingo card for this! I love it XD
Don't forget "how are you gonna progressively overload that?"
@@jennygreene5992 TFNL Bingo in the works.
@@jennygreene5992 Ooh, that's a good one! I'd add 'just because you're burning', but I don't want anyone to die, just have a lot of fun.
if you enjoy the starmaster that's cool, but I don't understand why it's sometimes touted as a 'flat stomach bubble butt' miracle machine like...have y'all not ever used stairs before ? lol I lived in a three-story house for most of my life and my glutes did not grow until I progressively overloaded hip thrusts and other lower body movements while simultaneously consuming a protein rich diet soooo 👀 whatchu playin at
True 😂
I love the tik tok review videos. Even though you have taught me the main bits and bobs lol (you can't spot reduce fat, train to failure, etc.) it's still so easy to get sucked into this kind of content when you see it over and over again in such quick little videos from people who appear to have your ideal physique.
I too enjoy them!
I always hear and see people talk and use cardio in the goal of weight loss. But is there actually people who do cardio in order to maintain or better their cardiovascular health ?
I really wonder how to combine cardio and strength training to get the best of the both worlds, although my goal is far from esthetics but rather good health in general.
Absolutely! Your TDEE will be higher by incorporating any exercise (cardio or strength training) so if weight loss isn’t your goal or intention, you’d need to adjust your caloric intake to maintain weight.
As to combining both, I think that will depend on the number of days you want to train and the intensity.
I do! The calories burnt is nice I guess, but my primary goal for cardio (mainly walking, but bike/rowing machine too) is to get less out of breath, lower my resting heart rate, and be able to take big long walks and carry a conversation while doimg it. :)
I think many do and you can certainly combine!
I really enjoyed the format of this video. A lot of great advice and classic TFNL sound bites. I have been working on identifying failure and your tips will be helpful. Thank you!
Thank YOU! :)
I'm just glad to know I have been doing the whole "working to failure" thing right... it definitely take several seconds for me to move the last rep and I push it to that point.
Nailing it!
Love these types of videos! Tik Tok can be very overwhelming with all the information/misinformation people are putting out there, and it can be easy to just absorb it quickly and move on to the next. Thanks as always for the great advice and encouragement!
"The amount of times I've just been sat there in my kitchen, looking at my protein shake." 🤣 Beautiful insertion of the poem, Harry, I love it as well! Also THE FEELS, some days I would rather eat toe nails than drink another protein shake. I think I have found some that I like the taste of and that don't give me bloating and it's very exciting when I make this discovery.
Thank you so much for your videos. I started weight training when i retired last year at 64. This was during lockdown which meant me working out at home home with a yoga mat and some dumbells (Can't thank you enough Caroline Girvan). Your videos have helped enormously by guiding me on my journey through the youtube jungle.I particlarly appreciate your advice on the most efficient hypertrohy exercises for muscle building.. I would so love further guidance on this and also any protein powder/supplement products you could recommend. Thanks once again for all you do
I really appreciate your videos and advice. I used to always watch/follow those cardio/weightless workouts and never saw results. I always thought it was because I wasn't pushing enough or dieting enough. Finally found your videos and switched up my workouts and already see some muscle growth! Watching your videos every week keeps me encouraged that I'm working out effectively in the right way for me. Thanks for all your proper teachings and positivity!
This makes me happy, I'm glad things are improving! Thank you
Oh my! I got the notification while I was eating lunch and thought ‘maybe I can beat Austin?!’
Fail. It can’t be done.
🤣🤣
Keep trying, one day!
Close though!
Harry, that poem is my favorite too! Also, as a total newbie to weightlifting (I've been going to the gym for about two months) I really appreciate you breaking down the misinformation on TikTok and elsewhere on the topic of fitness.
Love it! I'm glad that it's helping :)
I was anxious at first when I started going to the gym (I was unfamiliar with the equipment, I didnt know what I was doing, etc) but I grew to love it cos people absolutely don't give a shit. Everyone's in their own bubble to even look at you. It's a collection of people with a personal goal in mind, and I love that.
Thanks as always Harry, love a spicy debunk! 🥰🥰 I find judging failure really hard, i fear for my poor creaky joints. Also I find whey protein difficult if I have it too frequently, but I think alcohol sweeteners in premade mixes/shakes/bars are often a sneaky culprit! (maltitol I'm looking to you)
First video Of yours I’ve seen, really good stuff bro, clear concise accurate and non judgemental, exactly how every fitness UA-camr should be 👍🏻
I know that no matter what other people tell you, the way you see yourself is the way you see yourself. So I won't even mention that I, and I'm sure many other women, think you are very good-looking and have a great body, I follow you on Instagram, so I have seen you training. However, what I will say is that that mindset is just a mindset. Same as we are really bad at judging where our point of failure is, we are really bad at judging how we look. So what I do when I'm feeling like you is I just observe the thought, remember that one or two days before I looked in the mirror and liked what I saw, so nothing major could have changed since, and remind myself of what my body can do and how lucky I am to be able to use and enjoy it at its full capacity.
Also, really enjoyed the video. Keep it up!
Just stumbled across your channel. Love it! Trying to bring reality back to fitness. Keep it up.
Thank you :)
You seemed to be in such a good mood while recording this video😊liked it!
Thank you
Thank you for always being so encouraging! I appreciate the informative content but I love the psycological one! Gym can be scary, there are some tough days and body dismorphia is always real but you always have a nice word for everyone! ❤
I appreciate you
I have seen some progressive overloading workouts that involve switching up accessory work or doing variations to try and highlight or find weak points. But those are pretty difficult to measure in terms of effectiveness, so like if you're a really high level lifter or whatever that can work really well, but you have to be at a level where you can determine if switching between front squat, back squat, back squat with chains or whatever is actually improving whichever variation you intend to be doing for competition. If all you care about is looks, then there's a not really a reason to do it, unless you've advanced to where the weight you can lift is no longer tearing at anything and then probably there are other things you could do other than flipping to a different exercise.
Thanks for the laughs throughout the video (and the good info, of course!) 10/10 would support more poetry content.
I started drinking protein shakes, and that actually made me discover I have a milk allergy lol. And the reaction to other milk products became more severe because of the amount of milk I was drinking/eating. So now I switched to milk free/vegan protein, and I can’t seem to find one that I like. Now I am just tolerating it barely 🙈 lol
If it's lactose sensitivity try Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix, it contains the enzymes people with intolerances are deficient in to digest the milk ingredients . It also doesn't taste disgusting
so many vegan protein shakes feel so grainy to me! i'm definitely looking for a *nice* vegan one though, feels like we need a big community spreadsheet ranking them lol
@@SaintSabre yeah but also give it a ranking for ecological footprint. Not all vegan variants are necessarily better than milk in that way. I mean, if I am half vegan might aswell contribute 😂 (I still eat meat to get in some easy protein, it is very hard otherwise for me)
I have heard vegan protein can be tricky regarding taste!
Try Macro Mike! Their protein powders are amazing 🤩
Omg Harry! The poem :) Thanks for the TFNL stuff 💓
Tik Tok is goddamn terrifying. Good on you got braving the horrors of its depths.
I was that running girl on the treadmill, around the gym parking lot, on the trails, etc but I was training for a half marathon lol
Regarding the creator attributing her monthly hospitalisation during her period to protein supplements, I wonder if the greater issue was how lean she was as a bikini competitor.
Bodybuilding bikini competitors need to be incredibly cut, which really scares me for their health. The whole bulk/cut cycles in professional bodybuilding is so very extreme, I thoroughly respect the physical and mental constitution that competitors have.
With her being a super-lean bikini competitor, I'm surprised she still had a period at all.
Well, competing certainly isn't healthy it seems!
The intro is EVERYTHING!
Haha, I'm glad you liked it!
Do you have any tips (or maybe you already answered this) for avoiding boredom at the gym? I have ADHD and I have a really hard time staying consistent with doing the same exercises because I get bored after my second or third time doing them. Is there a way to balance consistency and novelty and still get results 🤔 I love your channel!!
i love this style of video!:D
i think it would be cool if you could like do myth-busting tiktoks. similar to this video, except you would just stitch it or duet it and say what you have to say
I've got a CQOTW. 1) you talk a lot about taking your exercises to failure (except SBD) but I was wondering how you determine the weight for that? like cos you cant just keep doing reps forever - do you have a rep range in mind for you sets which takes you roughly to failure? because like otherwise you could be going for like 30+ reps of something??? does that makes sense. 2) is there a difference in going to failure in a lower rep range in comparison to failure in a higher rep range? ik hypertrophy range is around 5-30 but like if you choose a weight where you fail at 7, would that yield different results to like 25 reps?
I think this is a great CQOTW. Point 2 is kind of covered in this TikTok from Ryan Jewers here, from the same video you were featured in! 😀

Nutrition info
Oh! My torso wants to lean forward in leg extension. Sometimes I make myself use the back rest because I figure it's there for a reason. Will allow myself to lean forward now for the bigger contraction.
Gotta find the right amount of lean that suits you :)
I have a question about holding dumbbells when performing lower body exercises. Does it make a difference if I hold the weights down by my sides or up at my collarbone level when doing squats and lunges? I noticed my lower back complains more when I hold my weights high vs low.
I have this question too, as I experience low back pain when I perform anteriorly loaded squats. I usually just hold the weights at my sides as long as my grip strength is solid. I then hoist ‘em up onto my shoulders/back when my hands cramp but my legs still have some gas in the tank. But idk if this is ideal or not. Hoping Harry weighs in on this one 🙏🏼
It might have to do with what part of your body is bearing the load. This is kinesiology if you want to look into more articles. Higher loaded weights places more stress upon the spine - which compresses at the lower back- while holding weights at your sides will place the load on your shoulders. But idk
@@GraceAdd22 that makes sense. Thank you!
I feel Grace answered this well :)
Do a protein powder review/rankings, including taste too! Protein powders always make me gag and I can't seem to find one that I can keep down, so I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.
Saw the “hat” for this one and a giggle unleashed right away. Quite an entertaining choice today
It really is great!
Your ears made me chuckle before even hearing a single word 😂 Love it! On with the video!
Thank you! :)
Harry, you've mentioned that arms are mostly biceps and triceps a few times now. I just wanted to pipe in and say that my whole life, I've always considered shoulders to be the end of the arm, and when I think of ripped arms, I mostly think of big shoulder caps. I think it might depend on where you grow up.
This format is great, it let’s you cover more in a video
I'm glad that you like it!
Real good vid. Great ears lol was wondering is it better to change the type of cardio you do? Does it have any impact? Also would rather more yt than tiktok :)
This was extrmemly helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
You should do a protein powder tier list if you haven't already 😄
I felt so called out at the beginning,it was 20 degrees Celsius today and i tried to convince myself so bad that i was cold
I'm a bit tardy to the party but what's even worse is being on the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and going to the gym. Not only is it horribly intimidating, it only serves to make me feel worse about myself and in the past, I use to do the bare minimum and then run to the change room to cry because I feel like I don't measure up to the rest of the girls. Then I wouldn't bother doing any training at all because my thinking would be skewed to believing "Why should I bother, I'm never going to be as good and look as good as those other girls"
I love my gym but recently there's a lot of young boys around 15-18 who work out I big groups who are loud and are 1000% ego lifting to show their mates and they use up a lot of the free weights and I've been a regular member of my gym for 4yrs now and I'm really intimidated ngl but I don't judge people because what's the point I'm busy doing what I'm doing
I liked this one. Do another!! 👂🏻👂🏻👂🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Soon! :)
It's been a while since I have seen a video on the day it's been posted...hello Harry!
Leaning forward on the quad extension also reduces the work load on the hip flexor. I.e. less hip flexor = more quad
It's fun to watch😌
I hope so :)
We don't know how strong we are! We under-judge our limits and assume this is as far as we can push, when actually we can push much further.
When one of your mantras is "baby steps are still steps", if you increased the like goal to 1205 it would still technically be progressively overloading 😉 even though we all know 1300 is way overdue 😁
You've got me there!
@@TFNL was very proud to see the 1250 in the last video 😁
Hi can u do eleni fit? Cause i am curious how effective it is?Thk u so much love ur content
Whats your take on the zach bush 4 minute nitric oxide dump workouts?
The worst thing protein powder did to me was make me violently throw up. BUT.... turns out I was lactose intolerant and had no idea because by chance I hadn't had dairy for a while. So, I use Vegan protein powder now and honestly, not only is it way better but it tastes fantastic. I kid you not, PHD smart protein plant (salted caramel flavour) with ice cold water and 1 banana mixed in, tastes like a banoffee pie milkshake. I actually look forward to my protein shake after weights.
U could post how to do lifts w proper form i always watch those videos even tho i dont use tt 🥳
Can you do a protein shake and/or bar rank list?
the only lift that I go to failure with consistently is ohp because it's so hard. tbh even with the safeties I'm scared to fail a back squat.
If I am looking at people in the gym, it's because they either look good or look lost. If they look good, the thought I have is "damn, they look good!" If they look lost, I'll offer guidance on how to use that machine or exercise in between my sets.
My favorite poem too!
It's the best!
how many hats/head gear do you have??? very curious about this ... will you have to get a separate storage for them lol
Never been this early
Also these ears are giving vibes I've never felt before lmaoo😭😂
They are 10/10!
2:30 harry predicted the scenes at the oscars
LOL!
Harry, could you please review the Lean Legs Program from Rachael Attard? She talks about different body types, which I think is not really a thing or is there something to it? Thank you!
That idea surrounding body types has been debunked. As Austin’s pointed out in the past, it actually started as a theory that body types influenced psychology before it was adapted into fitness.
My favorite lift is a deadlift but I've noticed my form start to degrade too much to finish the rep before I feel too fatigued to finish the rep. When my form becomes poor, for my safety, I usually stop or take an extra 2 min rest before I start again but it's frustrating because I know my muscles had more reps in them. What is something I can do to keep form consistent while trying to lift higher weight?
In what way is your form breaking down? Without a little more detail it sounds like you might be reaching muscular failure in some way that’s leading to technical failure. If it’s a grip strength issue, which can be common with deadlifts, straps might be an easy solution.
Are you consistently reaching at least 5 reps with good form at this weight? If so, that’s within range for hypertrophy. If not, drop the weight so that your form is maintained and complete more reps. You’ll still build strength to work towards the heavier lift without increasing your injury risk so much.
@@melissathelioma2890 my knees are caving in and I feel my back trying to arch more than usual. I recent added a belt and straps for my highest sets and was able to do 2 more reps as well as a whole 'nother set. Still curious about the knees though
@@SuperAverageUsername some degree of knee valgus could be the result of your limb length, but is more commonly associated with squats than deadlifts. Are you noticing that knee valgus occurs during your warm up sets with lighter weights? If not, I would err on the side of caution and consider knee valgus a technical failure signaling the end of the set. It could indicate muscle weakness to some degree, so you might not want to continue reinforcing that movement pattern at heavier loads. I’d say the same goes for your back positioning, especially if you’re able to maintain a neutral spine and keep your back engaged at lower weights. My advice would be to lower the weight a little and focus on performing your reps with good form. There’s also a channel in the TFNL discord dedicated to form checks if you’d like to share any videos 😊
9:35 I *LOVE* long distance running but I'm unfortunately built like an out of shape sprinter/lifter, mostly a mix of genetics and childhood biking/ jumping for literal hours on a trampoline every single day. Any girl judging me on the treadmill, I'm shooting back a look of "yeah, keep up with that stairmaster and you'll get meaty calves just like me" 🙃 🤣
JOINT FITNESS TIKTOK WITH AUSTIN TRAINING WHEN???
When you join the Discord
Harry you look so happy🙏🏻
Thank you!
Just wanna each out. Feel really down. Don’t know why. I have a lot of gym anxiety but I also love going. Today I came back after having a tough day of it. I felt weak compared to other people I saw and I feel stupid for being down. I’m not gonna stop trying-just wandered what you would advise for days like this? It’s really hit me hard.
Set yourself a small but realistic goal, even if that’s going in and doing one exercise. If you want to do more when you’re there then sure, but one is the target :) Also, don’t worry about what others are doing as they aren’t even noticing what you’re lifting. Spend more time focussing on you and giving yourself more credit because you deserve it ❤️
@@TFNL thank you for that. It’s really helped. I won’t stop trying. 🙏
@@Ghostsaretooreal You’ve got this and I’m proud of you :)
@@TFNL thanks Harry. I really needed to hear that today!
CQotW: what's your favorite real world carryover from the gym? My kids love me to throw them into the air in the pool, so I practice landmine presses every summer?
Oof, as a person who does not have a Tiktok I'm afraid to watch this 🤣 Am I gonna pull a muscle just from watching?
Haha, maybe!
I'm creepy towards 40 and I'm trying to build lean muscle but I'm told that it gets harder after 30... am I to late????
Hearing that 15 lb of lean mass in a year is a lot makes me so confused about how the data from my bodyfat % scale is showing that I've gradually gained almost 4 lb of lean mass in the first month of trying to get back into fitness. Now granted, I've been largely sedentary for a few years due to a degenerated-to-nothing lumbar disc, but ALL I'm doing is walking and stretching, because that's what I can do at the moment and I'm trying to build a habit of regular movement without injuring myself. But seriously - am I just better hydrated now? I've been on the lookout for fluctuations, but the decrease in my bodyfat has been slow and steady down 2% in 30 days, even if I use Excel to pull a trend line instead of just looking at the day to day.
These scales are wildly inaccurate, even DEXA scans (considered one of the better means of gauging) can also be wildly inaccurate. The main thing is how you feel, rather than what the numbers say :)
@@TFNL Oh, night and day. My husband got injured and I was able to do my kid's whole bath/bedtime routine. Plus I was able to shop at Target with a toddler for an hour, then put away a whole grocery pickup, and didn't even feel like I needed to sit down at the end of it. That probably doesn't sound like much, but it's huge to me.
@@SelfAbridged I’m sorry that he got injured! I’m also very proud of you ❤️
Coul you give your opinion about Sami Clark workouts?

Algorithm comment hehe:) Great video as always!
Thank you!
✨Comment Question of the Week ✨
Would it be beneficial to do mainly cardio / calorie burn workouts opposed to weight lifting / strength training workouts from a beginner/overweight standpoint? Or immediately begin with weight lifting since muscle in long term will naturally burn more calories doing nothing?
I lost 5 inches off my waist this past month by just eating less. Really doesn't matter what exercise you do. I've only been lifting lately.
Well done!
I commented on a video of a fitness professional debunking the stair master video. I agreed. My example is hula hooping. And someone still argued with me. 🤣🤣
Just came to say please don't feel intimidated by overloading the like goal! If we can't make it, then at least we trained to failure together :).
Like #867 and a comment for the algorithm! Haha love me some TFNL!
Question(s)!
I have this problem where I do not feel the effects of various arm exercises (eg. Bicep curls) in the target muscle because I am limited by the strength (weakness) of my forearms. For now I just keep going through the motions in the hope that they will one day make my forearms strong enough to support a weight that could actually work my bicep.
For Harry: is that a reasonable expectation, or do you have any other suggestions to help my forearms 'catch up', if you will? Also, that is a great poem, made even better by the ears.
For everyone: is this a common problem?
I'm similar ! my wrists and grip strength are super weak, so I've been hanging from the bar til failure at the end of each session and it's definitely helping ! sometimes I'll do a heavy farmer carry instead and hang on to those dumbbells as long as possible haha. might help forearm strength too !
@@pale_emo_princess thanks for the tips and your name is hilarious. The wrists and whatever muscle is supposed to hold them straight during a bicep curl are definitely the weak link! I did a 45 min "bicep and tricep" workout this morning and my forearms are jello! The target muscles feel like they have not really been worked, haha.
Is having dumbbells are necessary..........(for beginner)......????
Not at all :)
Good sir.
No u x
Thoughts on the ass to grass craze on tik tok?
Makes sense to maximise knee flexion to further lengthen the quads if you’re able to/are training for hypertrophy :)
She didn't say 15, she said fiftY, btw
I thought she said 50 initially but I said to myself “surely not”, so I gave her the benefit of the doubt 😂
@@TFNL nnnnope 🤦♀️
@@NajaSierra Now I’m even more baffled!
Loving the ears 🤭
Haha, thank you!
yes seeing abs after two days of stairmaster sure
Not the fucking ears 😂😂😂
10/10, right?!
P.S I loved the ears!
I didn't like the video....I loved it!
Well those ears just ruined it for me I’m going to have to rewatch again and again until I can do it without laughing
The poem with those big ass ears on was simply beautiful
Maybe the woman complaining about the protein powder was using one with soy? That can affect periods
Oh, this is interesting!
This is not well substantiated in the literature. A lot more studies need to be done.
Yeees I just got a tiktok and was wondering if you had one!
OH SUH! :)
Overload!!!!!!!!!
