I almost thought it was a joke but looked through his channel and it seems legit. I will give anyone credit for diving in to fitness but he needs to ditch the cables and machines if he wants to build serious mass. Deads squats front squats benches bb presses etc.WTF???
I feel like this could have been me at 16 if YouTube was a thing and I gave a shit about social media.Here
I started at 15 training in a shed in my back yard. Probably the perfect start for me as I didn't get to join a gym until 17 and it was a health spa with a dungeon in the back all homemade equipment spray painted gold to hide the rust. Definitely some serious judgement zones back then. I can't tell you how many times I would get up from the equipment and the bigger guys took it over and told me to fuck off back to the front.

A- for effort though! LOL
LOL that is great. I got a gym membership at 15 and my dad would drive me until I was 16.I started at 15 training in a shed in my back yard.

A large portion of the online fitness community is going away from the basics and preaching cables and isolation. It’s wild to see how different it’s become.I almost thought it was a joke but looked through his channel and it seems legit.

A lot of those big barbell basics are really effective in the first 3~5 years of training or so, but as a lifter has his major stabilizers developed sufficiently, he's stronger overall, and accompanying injury risk+wear and tear get worse, these lifts gradually lose utility and stuff like isolation/cables becomes more useful. The problem is, people want to skip forward to what advanced enhanced bodybuilders are doing instead of doing the unpleasant and difficult barbell training first. Enhanced bbers should probably not be squatting 5+ plates and dling 6plates. This looks cool, but the stimulus to fatigue ratio is really poor for an advanced bodybuilder. It's not necessarily poor for a beginner bodybuilder, however.A large portion of the online fitness community is going away from the basics and preaching cables and isolation.

I really try not to roast anyone - in person or online unless they’re being an ass. The majority of people are just normal and doing their best. It’s easy for a lot of us to look down, but at the end of the day if they aren’t hurting anyone - it’s not my business.A lot of those big barbell basics are really effective in the first 3~5 years of training or so, but as a lifter has his major stabilizers developed sufficiently, he's stronger overall, and accompanying injury risk+wear and tear get worse, these lifts gradually lose utility and stuff like isolation/cables becomes more useful.

This guy's channel is pure comedy, but I feel really bad for roasting him at all because he's just a little kid. Probably much younger than sam like 15-17. Nobody has self awareness or awareness of their own limitations at that age. I hope he ends up developing into a great bodybuilder, but yeah it's a bit cringe seeing zyzz music blaring over a video of a 5'10 160lb kid doing single arm cable lat pulldowns and imitating his fitness heroes. LOL at "5k calorie challenge". 5k calories is like a normal training day for most of us on this forum, that's like an amount you can eat without junk food easily and maybe be just 'full" when you go to bed but not "stuffed" or uncomfortable. But to him 5k is like "wow omg wtf so much food!!! gotta have pizza and doritos to get that amount in!"
When you're a kid in the west in a place where everyone has simultaneous pressures to both fit in and stand out, you do anything to project an identity to relieve the insecurity and cognitive dissonance this creates. The results can be cringey sometimes, but no hate. Everyone starts somewhere with a dream that might seem unrealistic at first, and the kid is getting it done. It's unlikely to lead to 100k youtube subs and then a hosstile contract, but maybe he steps on stage as a legit LHW/HW at age 19 or whatever, who knows?
It’s always been that way lol. Now they just record it!In some ways, I think it’s great that young men are really getting into fitness
In other ways, having these 18 year olds who are 5’10 and 190lbs at 25% body fat flexing In the mirror after each set of cable cross overs is a bit.. strange..
Love that new title under your nameSmh every one wants to be a bodybuilder now
