>Promises the best workout advice on youtube
>They speak through a shitty drawn character
>Never shows their body

why do retards follow "fitness" creators if they never even show their body. There could literally be a lard pile behind that microphone
>>
>>77331114
Because knowing & doing are two different things and being fit/jacked/shredded are not required in order to pass on the info? Because only chuddies/incels/shallow retards care that much if the person they get their info from embody it or not.
>>
You act like their body somehow makes their advice more credible or valid, which is asinine considering the amount of them that have been busted/confessed to roiding and could have gotten how they were with underwater basket weaving.
>>
>>77331121
>knowing & doing are two different things
I agree

But if I go to a content creator and they're giving me advice, why would I not want at least a pic of their physique so I know they're actually competent
>>
>>77331114
His advice is actually pretty ok. It's not anything special, which is honestly what we need more of. Fitness is solved: show up, do a basic, balanced weight lifting plan, do your cardio, watch your diet.

But I don't need to consume a badly animated podcast about it.
>>
>>77331125
Because that's not how you grade their competence on fitness matters. Their competence and ability to apply it to themselves are two entirely different matters. For example, a person could lift well, but just totally shit the bed when it comes to diet, and know it.

Now I will admit I would admire a person who is transparent about that, but still. Even when a person "looks" competent, that don't mean fuck all when it comes to applying their advice to yourself, so why should it to them. The issue is arising from your desire that your info gives also be some sort of motivational example to you.
>>
>>77331114
Stop watching them then
If it's too basic then you're not the target audience, the target audience is third worlders with no lifting culture to discern that, literal toddlers and senile people
>>
Did Lifting Vault do a body/lift reveal? He always struck me as autistic and DYEL, like trappychan.

>show good body
>give advice
>there's a 50/50 chance that the advice is good, since it's either an advice that has worked and the body is there as proof, or he's lying and he didn't get the body using said advice
VS
>no good body to show
>give advice
>there's a 100% chance the advice is shit, otherwise you'd have a good body to show as proof of advice's effectiveness
So yeah, a good body doesn't automatically prove the advice works, but not having a good body to show is irrefutable proof that the advice is dogshit.

Yeah, nah, not how it works. But thanks for letting everyone know you're a shallow retard.

Are you handicapped?

Being a good athlete does not mean you are a good coach or vice versa. A lot of good coaches are not good athletes.

Good athletes come from having good genes and good support structure to develop their bodies to the limit.
Good coaches/trainers come from studying shit and being able to convey it, alongside the social requirements to deal with the athletes.

Someone like Michael Phelps can't fucking explain what the fuck to do other than what he does, which is a plan that was designed by his coach/trainer/team, not him. He doesn't even know why it works, he just does it because they told him what to do.

Not showing proof whilst giving advice, is like a business teacher who only knows the theory and has never ran a succesful business.
>>
Let’s listen to roided freaks, surely they will give good advice since they had to work to hard and so optimally to get to their level.
Except rippletits he’s exempt for some reason

This has nothing to do with the original post, the idea was "we need to see the body of someone to see if their advice is good", which is not valid because most influencers are on roids where their routines don't apply to the common guy and most of their gains were fraudulent.
This means their advice DOES NOT always correlate to their body and you should not follow someone's advice just because he is swole. You can fake (roid) a good body into existence.

Meanwhile you can lie at business but you don't have anything to show for it, you just "say you do". Most non retards will do a minimal check and notice you own fucking nothing and are just grifting.

This means their advice DOES correlate to their business experience and assets (if they can prove it). You cannot fake (roid) business success.

>Oh but some retards fell for it
Okay but that is just natural selection at this point, if someone lies and shows nothing of proof and you believe em, that's your own issue and we can't help you there.
>>
>>77331124
True. Let's not forget Dylan McKnight who claimed that you should be able to bench 225 after a year. Roidtrannies are completely out of touch.
>>
>>77331912
>you should be able to bench 225 after a year
Are you telling me you didnt achieve that under a year ? lol ?

Sure, but let's say you're not a full-blown retard, don't know much about fitness, and are looking for info. If you don't have prior knowledge, you have no way to verify his claims so you'd either need him to be credited with phd or some certificates, which he isn't, he'd need to thoroghly cite his sources, which he doesn't, or he needs to show real life examples of his system working either on himself or his clients, and he doesn't do that either.

Dude, i'm so sorry. I didn't know it was that bad. How are you holding up?

I watched like 3 of his videos and it seemed like a con "come on buddy" and kept devolving into shit tier advice you'd hear from the mid 00s that didn't help anyone. Then he started offering plans and shilling shit. I can't. Even people like Ryan Humitson have infinitely more credibility and transparency.

>>77331153
Lyle gives good advice and a has roster of people who it helped despite him not even being their coach just someone more akin to a critic/commentator on fitness research.
>>
People ITT are actually defending this cartoon faggot's channel.
Yeah, this board is well and truly dead.
>>
>>77333901
I'm not defending Winny I'm saying Lyle at least has proof it helped someone even if he's a genetic trash and couldn't do it himself. (he probably could but the dude eats nothing but ham sandwiches and rice)
>>
>>77331121
If they have supposedly correct information but choose to look bad, then we have different values and there's no point in taking their advice.
It's the same reason why I wouldn't take health advice from a fat doctor or take financial advice from a homeless person.
>>
>>77331121
Knowing and doing are NOT two different things. Why do you think we have the word "experience". Evey smart person rejects your initial proposition.
>>
>>77333910
Lyle's gross Chewbaca body hair hides how lean he is. Not saying he has great genes, but he needs to get a fucking wax because he looks 3x worse with all that hair.

TRVKE, browns will pray to Mr Kike Isrealtel and ignore the words of Wisdom from Yakub McDonald because the midget roids and Yakub doesn't.
>>
>>77331114
Sometimes the people that dedicated the most time to researching the topic aren't starving themselves to reach the beauty standard of the mouth breathing public, so they just put up a character to grab their attention (like dangling keys in front of a baby). It's like how universally all sports coaches are old fat people, but they know their shit. Only an absolute idiot thinks some starving 18-year-old is a genius on a topic, and most lifters are actually that stupid (like OP).
>>
>>77331280
Well it's not like the business teacher did run a successful business and is teaching about it now is it?
