=== A Lot of Bro Science Left (02:09) ===

[00:00:12]  Greetings, true friends.
[00:00:14]  Today I want to delve into something that I haven't really been talking about much as of late.
[00:00:21]  And it struck me the other day that there are really a lot of bro science and stupidity left in the fitness, even on YouTube fitness.
[00:00:30]  So like a lot of bro scientists and guys don't really have any clue what they're talking about, trying to give out training advice to others.
[00:00:38]  And when I started making more political videos and philosophical videos and gaming videos, I thought like, okay, cool, this fitness thing is already done because everyone is kind of agreeing on what is best and what's not best, etc.
[00:00:51]  But then I delved into it a bit again and realized that, you know, there are a lot of large channels and influences that are teaching younger guys the complete wrong things.
[00:01:03]  So then I thought to myself, like, okay, cool, I'm gonna make a foray back into the fitness online community to bring some destruction to stupidity.
[00:01:14]  So this will be like a branch of my great eternal crusade against heresy and stupidity.
[00:01:20]  So I'm gonna make some more videos regarding that, you know, perhaps calling out some guys who I think give shit advice to other guys.
[00:01:31]  And I'm in a bit of a situation here because at one hand I want everyone who's watching this for example, I want you to be to make as good of gains as possible so you can defeat your inner feminist and your inner heretic.
[00:01:46]  So that's my thought regarding that.
[00:01:48]  But then I also have this kind of mindset that if some guys are so stupid as they listen to these guys who don't really know anything about training, if they listen to a guy who can't even spell correctly on his own web page, If it's obvious that a guy is, you know, trying to promote his own supplement brand and he talks about how good his supplement is.
[00:02:10]  Like, if you aren't that critically, if you can't think that critically well, I mean, that's, then one part of my mind says like, oh, you know, then let them be that stupid.

=== Critical Thinking in Training (02:05) ===

[00:02:22]  But on the other hand, like, when you are a beginner, you tend to look at the biggest guys.
[00:02:27]  Oh what this guy is really fucking huge.
[00:02:29]  I bet he's really competent in building muscle.
[00:02:32]  But then you have like he's made his physique about Sintol and steroids.
[00:02:37]  So then he's really not in any position to tell other guys how to gain muscle.
[00:02:43]  So to just start this little crusade off let's talk a bit about progression versus pump.
[00:02:49]  If you want to get bigger you have to get stronger.
[00:02:52]  There is no alternate route except obviously if you want to pump in a lot of steroids and go with a pumping kind of training schedule.
[00:03:02]  Then it's fine.
[00:03:02]  Then you can do it.
[00:03:03]  But otherwise if you want to keep it natural as I suggest you do up until you're like 30 or something then you can get on testosterone to you know keep yourself happy and healthy.
[00:03:16]  So with that said and I will say it again I've said it in the past I'll say it again I will keep pushing my pointer because it's so important progression is the key to size.
[00:03:26]  If you haven't gotten stronger in the main compounds over a good few months then don't expect to get bigger.
[00:03:34]  Don't expect to get bigger if you are on some five days a week bro split where you have one fucking arm day.
[00:03:41]  Even if it works for the largest guys but the largest guys and you don't have the same supplement stack as it were so you can't expect the same results.
[00:03:50]  So you have to train you have to train like a marathon taking small steps every time each day in the gym.
[00:03:58]  Now obviously you can't progress every session, but that's what you're striving for, progression in the body and in the mind.
[00:04:04]  So yeah, that was my first little semi-rant as it were.
[00:04:09]  The glorious clothing.
[00:04:12]  Fucking juicy.
[00:04:13]  Available in the link below for my main man.
[00:04:17]  It's L intensity.
[00:04:19]  So with that said, let the crusade begin.
[00:04:24]  Anyway, there's a secret I'll never tell.
