Jeff is such a poor retard dweeb lol he always throws himself under the bus to get the validation of his buttbuddies and it always ends with him not only losing credibility but also said companions always disassociate with him even as a joke.
He pretends to be a good sport but it's only a facade for his servile and docile manners. He 100% used to suck up to the "cool kids" who bullied him in school thinking it's the way to climb up social rankings.

Umbrella term for morons who believe that biomechanics and physiology and "exercise science" in general is on par with mathematics and economics and biology in terms of objectiveness hierarchy.
It also groups anyone who heavily involves the aforementioned disciplines in their training. Basically anyone who backs their opinions on lifting and exercise with useless papers he hasnt even read with unreplicable results.
Imagine if boxing or rugby had mentally ill bullied weebs who come up with shitty studies to prove x style of fighting or y game plan is more likely in a hypothetical controlled scenario to win and religious defend said papers and science like gospel and ignore the trial and error of hobbyists and the decades of figuring shit out.
It's not even reinventing the wheel anymore it's like trying to convince people to start writing calendar dates on base 30

Nippard and Israetel are too big too fail. Well maybe not Israetel. He seems like one bad injection away from having a mental breakdown and becoming a fitness lolcow.
But the most likely scenario is that Mike and Nippard comments are filled with like 30% former fans and critique, and they maybe even make apology, but they continue to get views and money

My only problem with the science based lifting downfall is that I’ve seen a ton of bro science, other random shitty fitness program, meh YouTubers using this as an opportunity to pile on and gain clout Meanwhile some of them also have shit Info and programs.

I think something about the science based lifting crowds “I’m smarter than you and if you disagree you’re an idiot” energy pissed off way more people than I thought

Because so many people are sick and tired of Israetel that an honest, valid and thorough critique of his "work" (spitting out 500 videos a month on repetitive, redundant garbage filled with gay sex jokes and shilling his useless app) is more than welcome.
Israetel is very clearly a grifter. It's obvious to anyone with a modicum of social IQ that he is nothing more than an insecure, ugly manlet kike that cheated and lied to get anywhere in life because he is so utterly unremarkable in every domain and metric.
Is this an American thing, being unable to read people? It was obvious to me within minutes of watching his content that he was a faker, a liar, a grifter with severe neuroses. His ticks, his body language, his word choice, the things he talk about all paint a clear image of a manipulative, lying, fraudulent steroid user. It comes as no shock that his "PhD" was an unintelligible heap of flaming garbage and it was delicious to see a meticulous autist like Nelson take it apart piece by scrumptious piece for our greatest pleasure.
Hopefully next it's revealed that his "black belt" in BJJ is also a fraud.
Fuck Israetel, fuck Nippard, fuck Dr. Pak, fuck Milo Wolf and fuck all these "science based" grifters. Let their bubble burst and their careers crash.

Mike israel is a nobody his content is propped up by bot. His following is blown out of proportion and inorganic.
Just look at his instagram page, every post has like 200 comments at most, mostly indians and bots and burner accounts. By raw numbers (aka bots not taking into account), jeff is the current "big thing". No one watches mike other than people who hate him. He's literally no one. His internet presence is a Psyop. Wake up, he's not famous.
Internet is a large scale decades long social experiment. Of course they're going to push one of their own as a plant to create fake outrage, this has been planned for decades.

The entire ad based content creation paradigm is a grift that incentivizes creators to churn out video after video. the science guys just slap a label of authority on it.
if you step back and look at the underlying methodology abstratly both science and experience are just search and optimization processes that have converged on roughly the same small set of facts and all susceptible to the same failure modes (anecdotal evidence and small sample size)

just fucking lift and eat your creatine and ignore the new FOMO vids that come out every week
>>
>>76705513
Their commonly parroted advice is often times just bad. It's died down a little now, but at one point the common consensus was that volume is king, so they were recommending retarded levels of volume, like 52 sets a week per muscle lmfao

>>76705523
That whole saga was retarded. Especially since IIRC the evidence just showed it had roughly the same hypertrophic effect as higher intensity low volume programs. So they were essentially saying spend more time in the gym lifting lighter weights just to look as good as someone who spends less time in the gym lifting heavy ass weight.
Great idea guys, waste more time just to look like a weak bitch.
>>
>>76705561
It's also ironic coming from the crowd that's so scared of creating "fatigue". It certainly is fatiguing to do tons and tons of junk volume
>>

>just showed it had roughly the same hypertrophic effect as higher intensity low volume programs.

this should be the only thing you take away

>do the exercise in a moderate rep range
>progress the weight when you can
>repeat

if anything there should be more of a push to divide the advice given between natty and roided lifters because good advice for natty lifters will work for roided ones but not the other way around, instead when you get advice from roiders they feed you a bunch of bullshit that won't work like the high volume low weight stuff, pump and squeeze, etc etc

getting bigger as a natty requires getting stronger, period

>>
>>76705216
>>76705442
At first I thought it was a mistake that he hit Nippard next but I realized that it was the right decision. He has a ton of momentum right now on the criticism of science based advice (probably the highest it will ever get). If he hit Nippard at a later time, he might get more backlash than if he did it sooner because is more likable to normies.

Now that he's out of the way, we might see hit pieces for Milo Wolf, Pak and Schoenfeld next and I can already assume that the Milo Wolf critique is gonna be extremely well received from listeners.

it's an actual movement that at it's core is supposed to be based off of real studies and science related to weightlifting.
Thinks like rep count, rating of precieved exertion, range of motion, negative and positive eccentrics etc. But it has kind of gotten out of hand. There was once upon a time a lot that roiders and science based lifters agreed upon which is most of what i stated as examples of "science based" but since science based has blown up in recent years it kind of jumped the shark and influencers like mike and jeff have run out of content because the fitness industry in reality does not make breakthroughs that quickly. There was a point in time jeff nippard promoted compound movements, especiallt for beginners but nowadays he says isolation movements are way better which is a half truth. Compound movements work multiple muscles groups you're body needs blood pumping to those muscles for then to contract and grow and tear to make new fibers.
more muscles being worked at once = more blood flow = more muscle growth. Nowadays he says you should work iso more than compound which makes 0 fucking sense for putting on musckes especially fast

>>76705888
basicallt this wouldnt be happening if they just accepted rhe facts that lifting isnt some super hardcore rocket science like they're making it out to be but many people are taking the bait displayed because they're too lazy to sort throught the bullshit themselves or just not smart enough to.
Jeff nippards body recomposition book is probably the most useful book i can think of for absolute complete beginners who have 0 fucking idea what they're getting into and if you're just doing this ti be healthy; is likely all the knowledge you're gonna need as it literally covers the technicalities of diet & exercise basics. with that information you can figure out workouts on your own and what you want your routine to be / look like. But you're average person wants results NOW, RIGHT NOW. and because of that current day """excercise science""" is maximizing on that
>>
>>76705429
Because science is meant to be critiqued and should stand up to scrutiny and questioning. If it can't, it's not science. Including the people doing the science to make sure they aren't liars and are trust worthy.

Scientists would want more intelligent good skepticism aimed at them to make sure they should be trying to figure out why the current idea is wrong so they can come up with better ideas.

Wild. Just a while ago when he got punched, I was defending him.

>>
>>76706056
All of them reacted defensively. Milo, Pak, Nippard and those who were platformed by RP such as Mitch Hooper.
Those who are against Israetel are Lyle, the drama fitness tubers like Doucette/Revival Fitness/Bromley and brolifters like GVS and the noble natties.
The only one who stands out here is Alphadestiny who is in both camps. He was in 1 RP episode and he is also lumped in the noble natty crew.

I think the whole "Jeff gets beat up" debacle had one correct point from roided up meatheads - if "science based" lifting is so good, why did none of you achieved anything in BB or powerlifting? Those who can't, teach, i guess.

The other obvious flaw is that they flip-flop constantly. Oh, this year it's all about partials and drop sets. Wait, those aren't good and you won't recovered, gotta go slow on the negative. But ACTUALLY slowe negative isn't beneftitial either. Or when Sam Sulek, the ultimate bro lifter got popular manlets started chirping "you see, his approach is actually very scientific" FUCK OFF.

While idgaf about Israetel's PHD debacle, it kinda showed how the whole field is barely a science where you can just claim whatever and nobody will correct you.

This. Jeff would've lost zero credibility if he had just shut the fuck up about Hussein Farhat and Mike Israetel. It's gotten to the point where, if he talks about the credibility of other fitness influencers, the opposite of what he says is likely true.

The main issue is that "exercise science" is basically pseudoscience. There are so many confounding variables that any of their data is basically worthless beyond obvious statements like "this exercise will stimulate this muscle". And that's assuming no issues with replication and all that. But these "le science based lifting" midwits will do a pubmed search, cherrypick whatever BS article they need so they can shit out a video, and there you go.

I work in medicine, and even in that field, you can almost always find some BS paper with a pubmed search to validate whatever argument you're trying to make. This isn't proper though, because you're starting from a conclusion and then working backwards to just lazily find some trash-tier piece of "evidence" to back it up. But even here, you have plenty of brainlets who are the type of neurotic argumentative assholes who can never let themselves be wrong or lose an argument, and will religiously search to the ends of pubmed looking for dogshit papers just so they can say they're "right"
>>
>>76706467
It's because lifting is actually really fucking simple. You pick things up and put them down, and then over time you get better at picking things up and putting them down. All the autistic arguments over this slight variation or that slight variation or 5 vs 6 reps really doesn't matter whatsoever compared to just being consistent. There's really nothing new under the sun when it comes to lifting.

Now sure, there's plenty of content you can create about lifting. But it's mostly content that applies to beginners, the meat and potatoes. Basics of how to be consistent with a program. Proper form for the main lifts. That sort of stuff. But the big issue is that this is all pretty much set and stone. These lifting 101 videos have been made a million times over. Once you make your videos on these topics, what do you do? The jewtube algorithm gods demand a constant stream of "new" content. So these soiencefags need to constantly reinvent the wheel for the same of pumping out videos.

>All the autistic arguments over this slight variation or that slight variation or 5 vs 6 reps really doesn't matter whatsoever compared to just being consistent.
And all you have to do to lose weight is not eat, but there are about 30,000 books about it. Most people don't have the intestinal fortitude to lift hard more than like three times if they "start working out", so they watch youtube instead.

Fitness advices is completely ruined other than looking at muscle groups and figuring out what machines and weights you can use to work out your muscles. Then figure out what machines, routines, and workouts you enjoy doing.

That's a really astute point, because a lot of the same issues extend to nutrition science.

I'm so grateful I got into lifting in the early 2010s. We still had zyzz. We had actually funny videos from Dom. We had elliott showing us how to breathe through our balls. The youtube lifters from the time put out no-bullshit videos about things like how to squat/bench/etc with good form.

Pretty sure if I were a zoomer who got into lifting now, I'd be psyop'd into being a perma-DYEL because every week I'd see some new SCIENCE-BASED! lifting video that tells me to completely drop what I was doing last week and do this whole new program instead with a dozen gay cable variations per session, and then next week it'd be a totally new thing all over again, and I would just end up never getting past noob gains.
>>
>>76706966
that his bench press is so ridiculous is particularly funny because back when RP was selling training programs (before the app release, i suppose) they used to define an experienced lifter as someone who was able to do 225x10

> Advanced (bench more than 225x10)

Aight finished watching the slop video. Nippard is a retard for releasing a garbage unscientific program and a bigger retard for soliciting paid consulting from some random ass 20-year-old faggot. Nippard was 100% right about turkesterone being sawdust and Solomon looks like a vindictive cunt.

Hope someone will revisit the "I had steroids shipped to my house but I never used them" saga. That never made any fucking sense, like Peyton Manning's wife ordering 1k IUs of HGH for her "beauty regimen."
>>
>>76707158
It is a legitimate science, the problem is that it's like 95% figured out. We know exactly how to train for strength, hypertrophy, endurance etc, nutrition is basically a solved equation at this point, how exercise transfers to sports is more or less clear by now
What remains is basically just minutiae. And so the "science based lifting" guys have to regurgitate content or exaggerate fairly insignificant stuff ("this SUPERIOR row variation stimulates your RHOMBOIDS 11% more!!!1!")

Which doesn't even matter unless you're trying to save 10 minutes a week. The balance between work and recovery is probably the least solved thing in muscle building, still somewhat solved. It's not like people need to know how to do more of either, just the balance.
>>
The bench program is the one thing that I think was quite overblown; 85%x6x4 is a hard training session, but by no means impossible (or maybe I'm just a weak faggot idk)
>>
>>76705429
All three of them are insufferable in their own way.

>one correct point from roided up meatheads - if "science based" lifting is so good, why did none of you achieved anything in BB or powerlifting? Those who can't, teach, i guess.

after watching the video fully, I did notice that Solomon definitely declare at one point that Mike DID do a coverup on the PhD thesis uploaded to ETSU. I think Solomon, as a law student himself, is trying to bait Mike and co into suing him as a way to kick off his career. I wouldn't be surprised if he was planning this for a while and just used this drama as a way to do that. No way would he leave himself up to a lawsuit as a law student (very smart one at that) unless he was doing it knowingly on purpose. Even Greg doucette had to say it was a maybe at best to preemptively protect his Jewish ass.

There seem to be some people who just suck at maxing out compared to repping, so they can do more at a higher percentage than you’d expect.
Depends on how you look at it, it’s either a deflated max relative to potential or increased rep strength compared to the norm.
I could get at least 2 sets of 6 at 85% of my squat “max” but I’m bad at bracing so my max is just kinda dogass
>>
I may have missed it but did Jeff make public statements BEFORE he reached out to Solomon? I feel like if Jeff just messaged Solomon beforehand (and didn't take the tone of a BPD woman) all of this could've been avoided for him at least. If he made the public comments first then Solomon releasing the DMs are fair game i think

Basically it's a bit of both. The science being done is EXTREMELY weak due to constraints on the research such as lack of proper test subjects. However I don't think the actual scientists practice bad science, they usually acknowledge the limitations. It's just that you end up with a science that yields almost entirely "nihilistic" results. Every research outcome seems to be "yeah it doesn't actually matter". It's honestly a bit insane, not to mention depressing, because this even happens when we reasonable would think something SHOULD matter. That's how most broscience and myths arose and got debunked. We get ideas about how our body works, it all sounds plausible and logical, and maybe there's some shit tier study on fat people backing it up. Then if you do a proper study on it it turns out to be bunk.
Exercise science does have a purpose in dispelling all the broscience and myths floating around, it's just that you end up with basically nothing but "lol pick up heavy weight, put down heavy weight"... And that certainly doesn't make for good youtube content.
That's how you get the science circlejerkers trying to make DA STRETCH DA SLOW ECCENTRIC a big thing based of insanely weak evidence, and then sheepishly saying "oh we were wrong woops xD" after it finally gets debunked.

Even though he also dabbles in SÖYence bullshit a lot, I actually kind of respect Jeff for being able to make content that is at least somewhat quality and occasionally original content, because it's kind of like trying to squeeze water from stone... Unlike Mike "let me make the 48th video about how ice baths don't do anything" Griftraetel.

Well said, that's basically what I was trying to get at.
Although honestly I think I hate jeff the most out of any of the lifting youtubers. He's just such a faggot. He's the archetypal effeminate liberal canadian 'stupid science bitch' who also just so happens to lift weights. I don't care if it's irrational or petty, every time he opens his mouth or emotes, it just makes me want to punch him in the face, regardless of whatever he's saying. At least with kike israel, you get exactly what you should expect, a thoroughly disgusting odious jew golem.
>>
>>76705200
It's funny because, like a month ago when he was defending roidtroons with science papers anon here mentioned how Jeff doesn't know how to read papers and the majority of his ideas are based on total bs science papers.
Now, suddenly, that idea, including other things, became fully mainstream.
Maybe this place does affect the internet.

He is to YouTube fitness what Sting was to the WCW. How many times can one fag be backstabbed before he realizes? I guess manlets truly never learn
>>
>>76707365
I'm mostly saying that because my max is around 100kg and 85x5x4 is a hard, but doable workout, and I never feel like I can't possibly do one more rep, except maybe during the last set. So making it a 6x4 doesn't feel like too much of a stretch
But maybe I'm just underrating my 1RM because I suck at maxing out
>>
>>76707753
As he pointed out in the video, if you give him the benefit of the doubt and say 85% works week three, then 72.5% week one is light.
>>
WHY is Jeff so insufferable? SOMETHING about the voice, that face, his entire personality. It makes my skin crawl, I hate him on a visceral level and it's not related to height because there are plenty of manlet lifters and actors I do like. Simply seeing his face fills me with anger and revulsion, let alone footage of him where I can hear him speak

It's alive and well on tiktok. Zoomers have fully embraced FBEOD or U/L, they all take protein shakes and creatine at the minimum, they all do these new "optimal" exercises and use straps a bunch, most take other supplements, it's such an interesting divide in my local gym. Anyone above the age of 30 is still doing bro splits or PPL at best, doing a bunch of sets and reps, sometimes at a single machine for 20+ minutes. This new guy started about 2 months ago and went from doing two legged extensions at 80 pounds to full stacking and now single legged extensions for 130+ pounds. He's there every other day and he always does the same shit. Sometimes I'd see him twice in a row, blasts some tiktok music video through his headphones and moves on after 2-3 sets.
From what I've read in my spare time, most of the literature nowadays seems to agree with them but that's only because they hop on the latest trends. They were doing PPL a year ago, switched to U/L and now almost all do FBEOD. Just to be sure I asked and yes, they all watched the same tiktok influencers. I've watched some of their stuff and it's honestly mostly arguing with braindead commenters and silly drama revolving gimmick characters like Cookie Kang or whatever, but a few vids are informative.
The gains I'm seeing are sometimes 2X what we did growing up. One guy was there for a year and looks like a slimmer David Laid. Guys my age would default to assuming they're all on roids, SARMs or weird new peptides but honestly I think the up to date bodybuilding advice is so accessible to them thanks to this Chinese app that they are avoiding the years of trial and error we went through and are just gaining optimally.

here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60vVC-L-KBY
he ends up looking like some fat kid that was forced to finally move a little in phys. ed.
he struggled to bench 240 for 2 - while muttering a pathetic "rack" calling for help at the end -, which is clearly below his own threshold for "advanced lifter"

Aren't the points against compounds that they:

and
>create more systemic fatigue
?
You can spam flyes more than you can spam heavy presses due to the load on the body being lighter. You can also put more load directly on the target muscle by isolating it which stimulates it better. I for example rarely feel much in my quads during squats because I'm limited in weight by various other muscles, but I feel a good quad stimulus from leg extensions or press.

Science base lifters are simply guys that look at studies to see what science says about lifting, all that they do in practice is set the exercises in a slightly different angle than normal to hit a muscle a little better but since science based influencer like jeff explain several studies, peabrains take it as an insult to their intelligence and constantly attack jeff for it.
While his videos are too wordy, all that he really says is to do x exercise slightly different than normal but this still upsets people.
Eventually this disdain become code for people we don't like.

Too big to fail means the authorities will move heaven and earth to keep something bad and failing from actually end.

This comes from banks who control everything being bailed out despite being so incompetent/greedy that if it weren't for tax payer money, they WILL fail.

It ain't like any advice is going to digivolve me past the limits of my body so why fuck up something that currently works for the chance of having it only work slightly better.

Because pompous faggots like Solomon are good for drama, which is what the heart of YouTube content is really all about. The people acting like they suddenly care about the heckin science don’t give a shit about it. In reality, nobody cares about this particular field that much because it is neither dynamic or interesting. It is essentially something one explores mainly by consistency and intensity, the extent to how effective it can be by modifying it is minute. The self anointed expert in this field is a curly headed homo DYEL McDonald, who lets his schizo fueled rants be managed by Solomon on his channel because he lusts for him. All the actors in this episode of Literally Who: The Breadtoober saga ad Infinitum are utterly silly and grating for various reasons.

The normalfags are no better than this, as they merely want to take part of what is lame mean girl drama while maintaining an air of superiority.

It's basically guys who religiously take any new study on 10 people without any proper scientific method to give you advice like:
>You need to do cable bicep curls lying at an 35.63 degree angle in the evening (best internal clock performance!) without eating anything for at least 4 hours when the Moon is on the opposite side of earth (higher gravity - optimal gains!) and your arm has to be perpendicular and at an 14.5 degree angle for optimal stretch through the whole exercise. Now you got big (USING SCIENCE!)

Basing your routine and exercises on science is good, the only problem is that a lot of it is way too personal when you get into autistic details. Sure there are some universal well studied "truths" that apply to everyone (progressive overload, caloric surplus, sufficient protein) but when you get into details, like "what sort of angle should my lateral dumbbell raise be like and how much should my arm be bent?" you probably won't find high quality research, since specific exercises rely greatly on your proportions, on your past injuries (or lack of them), your "instincts" of mind-muscle connection you've gained through your entire life. Unless there's a study "We took a thousand men aged 30, 6'4", who had once broken their collarbones, have long arms, have some assymetry in their shoulders, have some hyper-mobility" but that is rarely the case.

This would be my only critique against the "science based lifters" - when they try to use small studies that basically say "well it can go either way, we didn't find out much, more research is needed" and make some clickbait content like "INSANE NEW STUDY PROVES SUPERIOR WAY TO TRAIN DELTS!!!" and it's a study of 10 dudes who tried several variation of shoulder presses, so obviously it's not some big breakthrough. Hell, even the big/well-known truths don't apply to a lot of people. Me for example, when people say pullups/lat-pulldowns are a great way to build lats, for me it isn't, no matter the grip width and body position. horizontal rowing movements target them way better for me, or even some unorthodox movements that wrestlers use with rubber bands.
