    *Disclaimer: Unfortunately, the UA-cam algorithm thrives on titles and thumbnails that could be perceived as clickbait. Although I find this particularly distasteful, as a means of reaching a new audience or encouraging my current audience to invest their time into my videos, I must work with the algorithm rather than against it. Statistics have highlighted just how effective aligning titles with the algorithm is and although this can be frustrating for many (myself included), I will always ensure that my titles:
    1. Never promote false promises or unrealistic expectations.
    2. Will more often than not ask a question.
    3. Are worded in a manner that although might be perceived a certain way, are still open to interpretation.
    Appealing to more potential viewers gives me the opportunity to further the spread of what I believe to be useful information surrounding the topic in question, in addition to a positive message which often surrounds mental health, with the goal of helping as many people as possible.
    It should also be noted that the majority of my videos are based on audience suggestions. ~90% of my audience are women, therefore, the majority of videos are created to appeal to my dominant audience.
    It must also be noted that although goals often vary amongst individuals, a lot of my opinions on movements are within the context of building muscle (hypertrophy) and therefore, should be considered with that in mind.
    Thank you for giving me your time.*

    You are so right about this Harry. To achieve a certain physic it tales work and a hell of alot of patience because muscles do take their time to grow. Caroline has admitted to be training for 20 years and has been IronMan race twice. Of course she is going to have this physique, also to conaider when you see she is quite petite in height

    Click bait, which is fine. I’ve consistently followed CG for 3 years now and I’m definitely in the best shape of my life. I am not able to lift as much as CG does and definitely not able to keep up with her reps with a near comparable weight, but I still get positive comments from girlfriends about my muscle tone. CG has been working out for years and I believe she is natural. But if she isn’t… I don’t really care. She has done a lot for me personally.

    I personally think her natty status is questionable and I am a massive Caroline fan. I have her app and I have had great success using her workouts at home. Her positive personality, the fact that she doesn’t sexualise herself and that she is 100% fitness focussed with her output is very appealing to me. Natty or not wouldn’t change my opinions on her at all, still very interesting though.

    I agree with you Harry. Plus, people that say you can't achieve that with home workouts, they have not done her workouts. Caroline lifts 170 pounds for instance on hip thrusts. She has access to heavy weights, obviously. I love her, I pay for her app and it is so worth it. She does not come across as a dishonest person at all. Her workouts have changed my life. Since doing her home workouts, I get a ton of comments on my arms and my muscle that I have been able to put on at 46 years old, just doing home workouts (though I will say I genetically put on muscle very easily and I was a dancer)

      Why would she take performance enhancing drugs to achieve that? I just started lifting and it took me a few months to get there. I lift 187 lb on hip thrusts. Taking drugs to get there would be like having a stomach reduction to lose 4 pounds of weight 😂

    But I have a friend who also started training like CG 2 years ago, also started running marathons and now iron Man and looks exactly like Caroline, and is natural. It's possible. But takes AN INSANE AMOUNT OF WORK

  • @alyasl.3350
    @alyasl.3350 6 місяців тому +16

    I mean her workouts are still insane, even if she isn't natural (which I believe she is). I dont think she is using her body or the idea that you can look like her to sell more programs, her workouts are so good that I believe people are seeing results, and that's why they follow her. Sure you're seeing a super fit trainer, but after a few weeks with her, you're also seeing a fitter and stronger version of yourself and that's way more motivating that comparing yourself to you trainer. I truly think the way her branding is, it's more focused on general fitness, than achieving a certain body type. And it works really well, so I honestly wouldn't care if she's not natural, I wouldn't think she's been "lying" to me, as her workouts never promised to make me look like her, and I didn't start doing them with that goal in mind.

      On a technical level, Carolina has more structured programs on muscle growth, while Kay has more cardio, fast and dynamic work, which is practically what almost all the Trainers on YT do.
      Precisely because she is fast you find it stimulating, she goes at like 3000, she always does makers, burpees and the whole Hiit department, Carolina now travels for 2 full minutes of work with 20kg per arm her approach to training is really different.
      This is obviously my humble and profane point of view 😀

  • @frankquinn6872
    @frankquinn6872 6 місяців тому +9

    I find the whole discussion bizarre. Yes, she has made her name promoting home workouts but that doesn’t mean she is not allowed to do heavy weight training herself! (Which would account for her physique - in addition to years of training, quality nutrition and superior genetics). To my knowledge she has never claimed that her YT workouts will give you a body like hers (and if you think that, more fool you). Does her impressive physique do her any harm? Not at all. Would her workouts be just as good if she was built like a fridge freezer? Yes, but YT is a visual medium so it would, sadly be an obstacle.

    Caroline is awesome and my husband and I both do her workouts since moving away from a really good gym in central Massachusetts that trains everyday people and also has body challenges and bikini/bodybuilding challenges for these average people. An amazing hockey playing friend of mine who did her very first 10 week epic program pointed me to her during the pandemic when I could not get to my gym. My friend got in such good shape and it positively impacted her hockey playing. Caroline's physique is 100% achievable as a natural athlete. My old gym also helped train natural body bikini/physique/body builders and if your sleep, nutrition and workouts are on point even older women can transform their bodies. It happened to me and I saw it happen with 100's of other women -NONE who used any performance enhancing drugs. It is 80% at least nutrition but Caroline's workouts will help maintain/build your muscles if you slowly increase weights over time. She is just maintaining a low body fat percentage and doing so is possible especially pre-menopause.

    Harry when you make these videos do you ask the people featured to respond to your opinion? I am a completely natural athlete but I have had content like this made about me - however when I contacted them to get onto their channel to discuss they didn't want to know! You may have even been accused of taking drugs yourself. How did you feel? If Caroline didn't get the right to reply then its unfair. I would love to come on your channel to talk about this 'does she or doesn't she (do PEDS)' genre. I think its quite hard to tell by looking at someone's body in many cases it can be down to genetics and years of training. Personally I wouldn't be prepared to take the risk to my health and I think many other women in my age category are like this.

    • @thenopedetective

      I would assume no - he does reaction videos which means he's responding to other people's content (in a pretty balanced way).
      It's unlikely the large creators he's creating videos about would want to respond, but I'd guess if someone did reach out he would consider more joint content or include that information in a video. My guess is it doesn't happen though, particularly for HUGE ones like Caroline.

      I’ve messaged Caroline a few times without response, sadly. I’d like to think she’d be happy with my response considering I defended her and her natural status, even if I might be wrong.
      When I do speak with creators they’re (more often than not) incredibly supportive and encouraging, likely due to the nature of how things are presented. I’ve been accused of PED use myself since university and I loved it - what a huge compliment! But that being said, I’ve never claimed natural as my physique isn’t relevant to my brand.
      If you have the time, can you message me on Instagram so we can discuss this further? Thank you!

She doesn't promote supplements or state that you can "look like her" with her workouts, so for me it doesn't matter.

    At least from what I've seen she has never exclusively said that she works out at home ) she's a personal trainer, we don't know her involvement or how active she is in the gym, I don't think her natty status is questionable, my personal opinion, but whether or not she is natural it doesn't bother me

    Her workout is very very challenging, even though the weight I use is much lighter than what she uses. She is very honest in her videos: if the video says 30 minutes work out, it IS 30 minutes not including warm-up nor cool down. She doesn't act like a super hero with her workout, quite the opposite, she pauses in the middle. I LOVE her workout

    I followed her for a long time but stopped after she transitioned out of UA-cam. I’ve since found several different YT coaches whose workouts result in much higher calorie burn while including the strength training that Caroline did. For some reason, I just don’t get my desired burn with her workouts, but that’s neither here nor there. What a lot of people seem to be missing is that she walks for 1 hour EVERY DAY in addition to whatever workout she posts. She also runs and participates in marathons. I feel like the only thing that is misleading is when people think that they can achieve her physique with just her workouts without doing the extra daily cardio she does. I think she’s natural and a professional. Either way, people always have the choice to not follow her if they have doubts.

      @@alanhills1637 Hi, Alan! I follow several trainers and for different reasons. Penny Barnshaw has a wide variety of styles in her videos, everything from strength to dumbbell HIIT in various formats (no repeat, EMOM, etc.). I especially like that they’re geared towards women in our 40s who enjoy challenging workouts. DanielPT is younger and also more intense in his workouts. He puts together very creative combos for his strength moves which I find to be really fun. He has exceptional explosive kettle bell and dumbbell workouts, and he’s great if you want max burn in 30-35 minutes, as that’s the length of the majority of his workouts. FitnessbyKayKay is another trainer with a wide variety of videos in different formats who also incorporates creative combos into her routines. EleniFit is my go-to for rest days when I do HIIT Pilates. I’m not a fan of the cheesy R&B-style music she plays and I incorporate light hand and ankle weights into the routines because otherwise half the time I wouldn’t even burn 200 calories, but again, rest days. Every once in a while I’ll do a Heather Robertson workout. She’s very good but as I leveled up I found her workouts to be less challenging, but she’s great. All but DanielPT incorporate warm-ups and cool downs and he’s the only one who offers an occasional video with commentary. I personally do NOT like trainers who talk, as I much prefer follow-along with music. I hope that helps!

    She is very strong. If genetically gifted in this way, will in turn allow her to build a good amount of muscle over time with consistency. She has been lifting for many years and appears to be natural. PEDs would definitely enhance what she has built but females cannot take them for long periods without vitalization. Caroline has been an inspiration and saved many of us during the Covid lockdown. She looks just as beautiful and feminine now as years before. 💪🏼❤

    • @Vjestica7
      @Vjestica7 6 місяців тому +1

      Agreed. I think that a lot of people are forgetting about genetics factor. Of course, for women is more usual to be lean with less muscle mass, but there is also a certain number of us that get very big muscles very fast and/or have genetically more muscle mass. I get visible muscles and super lean just by doing cardio and hiit and when I start working out with weights (usually I do 80%-90% of the weight Caroline is using) I become very big and strong very fast. Even before covid when I went with my best friend to gym, we did the same things and were able to lift our weight and more in dead lift or hip thrust and she barely developed any visible muscles while I was super muscular.

    One thing to add. Some years ago people were asking Caroline about her look based on a picture she had used on her web site.

If that’s not the sign of someone with integrity I don’t is what is.

    I 100 percent believe she is natural. One thing you didn’t consider is that she isn’t just achieving this with at home workouts. She was a gym trainer prior to her UA-cam success. Covid made for this market to take off and she rose above the rest. I am quite certain I have seen gym type equipment in her home in older videos. So even if she doesn’t go to a public gym anymore I’m sure she still uses those machines.
    I also want to add I’ve avoided this video forever because men like to bash woman in the fitness industry and your titles are click bait titles. I’m happy it was thoughtful but maybe make videos that lift woman out and not question them causing negative speculation.

She can be and do all those things and still potentially take PED’s.
