So much false info goes around (deadlifts bad risk to reward ratio, squatting only for good leverages, etc) and the issue is its perpetuated by creators with low barriers to entry who actually dont know much of what they're talking about (Sam Sulek is a good example). But youre right, most go to the gym as its trendy on tiktok and dont really have a passion/love for fitness and lifting. Weird dynamic where actual FITNESS influencers like RP, Zack, OmarIsuf and MPMD get stifled as rhey dont appeal to the "skip leg day preworkout pump cover tren twins wegojim" sphere

I'm a millenial and honestly if you switch some of the proper nouns out for mid 2000s stuff (p90x, zumba, facebook, etc) this wouldn't be dissimilar to what we had to sift through before finding useful information. The few of us that did find the useful stuff eventually, I mean. Of course most people go through their whole lives never finding the info that would actually help them.

Dr. Mike is the best! Team full ROM!!

@@pissoff247 team partial rom gang checking in. I’m thoroughly in my muscular feels at the thought of these youngsters going down the wrong path😔. Wolf Pak podcast is muy bien

Agreed

He really put me off when I left a really innocuous comment on one of his videos a couple years back. Seemed like a bit of an ass and decided to stop watching his content ever since.

@@NotesOfInebriation I don't think hes a native english speaker and they way he responds to comments can be a bit stiff/cold. Those two things could be related. But he almost always responds, which is pretty cool.

@@NotesOfInebriation What was the comment?

Why is he squatting for 1500 days straight? What’s the purpose?

I'm absolutely about the anti hustle. I have no ambition to move up any further at work. I make good money. I'm happy with that. I take as much slack at work as I can possibly get while still getting my job done and making my boss happy. I want to travel and enjoy the 28 days of vacation time I get, not work every day until I die at a young age

It would be easier to adopt a hostile position if it was reflected in society eg sports stars, musicians singing about it etc gen Z needs their rage against the machine

​@@DominicMunnellythisistheway Perhaps, but it isn't. Rather than wait for a miracle to happen, the more that do what they can to oppose this rampant nihilism, the more there will be to opposite it to become the collective Force of Will that will be the change for the better manifested into reality.

They want the results without the hard work.

@@brianhopkins5251 that part too

All the myths that are around now were around when I started lifting 20 years ago. The older we get the better we were.

Ye? Did you call gen z up and ask him and he said that? Lol

Like every generation before them, tho

@@lolbubs11111 other generations weren’t inundated with social media and other forms of digital media like gen Z. It is a novel phenomenon.

@@mrbloat1310 While it is true that Gen Z is inundated with social media, it is just untrue to say an entire generation doesn't enjoy fitness.

@@zacharycollierAW-PL it’s not a claim about every single gen z-er but I’d argue the claim holds at the group level. Of course there are gen z-ers who genuinely enjoy fitness.

I mean they don’t know any better and you should know that. Just wait til they come around or question why you have great results and they don’t

I'm a gen Z fitness guy here. May I ask why is it that nowadays everything's Gen Z's fault? But, asides of that... I can tell you: fitness nowadays really is MARKETED as "fashion" or a "quick fix up thing" to us. I'm 22 as I'm writing this, and I was a semi-pro swimmer, turned to callisthenics, martial arts and then straight arm calisthenics. I've been physically active for most of my life. I notice that, when I talk with most people, and specially people my age, they seem to think this is just something that you either fitness is thing that you either have to get this bullshit piece of equipment, a quick fix-up thing, or a mix of both. I want to turn into a PT and strength trainer, and have been working as a ST for 2 years by now. As I was listening to this memories of my older sister trying to get into "fitness" (bullshit cardio videos "for women"), and me telling her that it would be way better, healthier and effective for her to just take a walk for 10 minutes daily than doing poorly taught (and thus executed) jumps and air curls. She was pissed at me, and said she "wouldn't walk for 5 minutes cause it was boring". I was baffled at this, and immediately understood that to her fitness was just a series of fashion choices rather than healthy choices as cleaning your teeth. I often compare the two because, whilst it's true you don't "have to brush your teeth" everyday right now, in the not-so-distant future you will regret not doing it. In any case, yeah: I agree with a lot of your vid, though I would say the core issue lies more on how it's presented and taught to people nowadays than on the people getting the info.

fr tho 👊

You are saying that you’ve only heard of the back squat and strength training twice in your life?

@@yoeyyoey8937 I can’t speak for William, but this is my fourth time, I’ll have you know. The last thing I learned was that Bulgarian weightlifters have historically done well because of their superior technical model and perfect form on the Olympic lifts

@@hayesdelezene4590 you should keep learning there’s a lot more to this. The Bulgarian model isn’t really what you think it is, it was mostly used to weed people out and you ended up with the most determined and talented people, it’s not a system that makes anybody that great, it justfilters the populations for a type of greatness

@@yoeyyoey8937 mayhaps read my comment again

@@hayesdelezene4590 can you just tell me what you meant cause I’m lost

There has been nonsense, but has there been a megaphone of this size created for previous generations? Having a megaphone in the past had a barrier of entry, today anyone can have one.

It's the eyes glazing over for me lmao

Do you take them individually or in a group? Hopefully its the former and you can single out which of your friends actually have the potentially mentally to lift

@@letterkeys4440 I train in my home, and meet with them individually, they go to more commercial gym type spaces.

I mean what are you even telling them? And why don’t they want to follow your example, aren’t the principles working for you?

Ngl my eyes would be glazing over cuz my mind starts wandering in the direction of Kyriakos Grizzly whenever a mortal starts to speak

He has been overdosing red dye 40😅

Yup this is a tale as old as time. Some roided out guy screaming at you telling you what to do lol

@@HerniatedDiscGuySpot on. Nobody at my gym is as unhinged as those online community weirdos lol

You're barely Gen z 😂

@@fuosdi64 Anybody born from 96 to 2006 is Gen Z so I'm Gen Z yeah

@@JerseyJake98 Wrong. Gen Z goes from 1997-2012. You're on the cusp of millennial/Gen z since generations are fuzzy.

Peach fuzz bro, assess have hair

You haven't inspected many girls up close have you?

🧻

The sale of dust collectors has been an issue since the dawn of fitness culture

More prevalent

Did u not watch the vid

It’s funny and shocking how much more susceptible Gen Z and Gen Alpha are to falling for scams and fraud. They fall for things more than Millennials and Gen X.

@@Xilladan093 I think my comment agrees with and somewhat summarizes the vid while dispelling the click bait title

NO! 😂

lol

Exactly, its more comparable to a trendmill alternative than a squat/strength exercise alternative which Zach seems to be focused in on

How can you not just go outside and go for a walk?

If you enjoyed using it, got your heart rate up, used it consistently, and was part of a larger toolbox, then I would agree that it would not be the worst piece of equipment in the world.

The most important thing is to keep trying to improve and ignore the people around you, because they will always try to discourage you because of their stupidity or laziness

Bring back pony tails through a baseball hat.

They never left. Elite athletes such as myself are still using them. I'll look just like Arnold someday!

@@jasonshults368 sounds like you need the Covert Bailey Health Rider early '80 version (had one in my college dorm cerca '85) as it actually offers progressive overload. Get the original, no Chinese imitation.

At least half of the people i see at my gym are gen z, and most are in very good shape. Sure, some of them are working off a little excess fat, but it seems that they are attacking that problem at a much earlier stage, before it becomes very difficult.

@@meptoo Not just that, but Gen Z actually lift like they're serious. Almost never saw other millennials doing squats, front squats, or deadlifts 10 years ago at the gym unless they played football. Now it's very common to see 16 year Olds repping 3 or 4 plates on deadlifts instead of thinking squats and deads are bad for your back.

Buy it and resell it online.

You’re the exception to the rule though. I can assume that just by viewing this video your understanding of training vastly higher than the average person. Don’t take that as a gatekeeping/holier than thou approach. It’s just important that we don’t underestimate just how insanely limited the average persons knowledge on training and fitness truly is.

I saw that 5lb grip trainer dumbbell Sandow sold on a documentary about Arthur Conan Doyle last week! Doyle went on a course that was supposed to make you look like Sandow 😅
