One myth that seems to keep people from getting into the gym: you have to be in shape to get started. I've read posts from people saying they've been laughed or bullied out of the gym for daring to show up fat/out of shape. That's a ridiculous thing to do to people who are trying to improve their health and strength! We all had to start somewhere, and as we've seen on the podium, having fat doesn't mean being weak or incapable of athleticism. More people need to remember the "be kind" part, not just "lift heavy."

@QPoily

Ай бұрын

I remember doing some research online before I started going to the gym and seeing some very helpful comments pass along regarding this: You're in the gym to better yourself. You don't go to a doctor and laugh at the person next to you for trying to better themselves. The people who do so are not rational beings and would be the type of person to laugh at someone going to the hospital to fix their broken leg. That's the type of person you laugh back at for being moronic enough to laugh at others trying to better themselves. It is, genuinely, a kind of behavior that's worth counter mocking and judging those types of people for. Bettering yourself is something that should be applauded by yourself, and often is applauded by other rational people going to the gym. When I see skinny/chubby/old/whatever people at the gym, I don't silently judge them; I silently praise them. They may not know it, but I'm cheering for them and going "good on them, keep it up". And in my personal experience I've had someone come up to me to ask if I wanted some help. Other than that, most people will be too busy focusing on their own workout to notice you. Sure, during their rest period they might look around a bit out of boredom but again; the rational people will always silently praise you.

@jgray2718

Ай бұрын

The people who got bullied are going to the wrong gym. As someone who's familiar with a gym but not in great shape, I've always found gym rats to be very helpful and kind. On multiple occasions I've had a question about some exercise or another and asked someone who was doing the exercise some questions. I've gotten friendly, helpful responses every time, and never once any kind of unkindness or bullying. Maybe I'm just always at the right gym _(I've been a member of 4 different gyms and had the same experience at all of them),_ but my experience has always been that humility and politeness are reciprocated. I honestly think that people who feel bullied sometimes impute meaning that isn't there. They might be expecting to be treated badly so that's what they hear. And I'm not saying it's never real - there are certainly jerks out there - but it's very easy to hear what you're expecting.

Great stuff! What's great about your content is that you've tried many sports yourself. You're not trying to over complicate things. I remember that in my childhood I had some back pain and the doctor at the time forbade me to lift. However, I've pressed him for the reason and he mentioned "scoliosis" in my xray. So I asked him to show it to me ( I was 14). And the "curve" I had is not considered as a disored less than 5 degrees! From that day onwards I've decided to understand things myself and not take anyone's word for granted. I've been a physiotherapist for over 15 years now. And in my not too long but not too short experience people nowadays over complicate things. For example people looking for sophisticated treatment, sports therapy, chiro and whatnot for simple back pain. However they have not covered the basics, more often then not they walk 3000 steps daily, have sedentary job and their only activity is walking. Anyhow, keep it simple mate, love your content!

Be consistent, try and see what works for you, switch it up when you reach the limit of that training and just eat a balanced diet.

The benefit of going to the gym on the bicycle, you already got a perfect warmup for legs and you're sweating. I do do extensive warmups for benching and OHP, as I often get injured there. This usually just involves work with light plates like lu raises.

All the facts you just laid out, are why I think cycling coaches could benefit from zooming out and remembering GENERAL exercise physiology. I help lots of cyclists remember to move and eat like a proper strong human first before adding in the volume of elite level cycling. Love everything you just said.

It’s not like you can’t either… what do you mean?

I'd add a little nuance to the "don't exercise for the purpose of losing weight" point. What you've said is correct in that it isn't really feasible (except perhaps dedicated endurance athletes) to burn enough calories to make up for a diet that's significantly higher than their BMR. I would add, however, that exercise, resistance training in particular, will increase BMR via increasing/preserving muscle mass, which otherwise may decrease while in a caloric deficit.

I love that throughout this video Mitch is trying not to throw up the meal he just had

Mitch on the 'nicest guy that looks like a movie villain' arc. Love it.

While I can see myth 1 being a myth in general, I turned a 10 year streak of basically constantly carrying some kind of an injury to now 2 years and counting being injury free by starting specific warmups. I need to activate my posterior chain and support muscles in my legs, and I have to get my shoulders moving right. Otherwise, stuff breaks. Now, the reason behind this is I work in IT, and have hobbies that involve computers. So, I sit a lot. Way too much. I have to combat that. So, I'm sort of starting my workouts from a deficit, and need to compensate.

Agreed. If you’re young and athletic you don’t really need to warmup much. For me, at 39, with a job that leaves me super stiff and fatigued, as well as a long history of injuries from work and athletic stuff, I basically can’t do a meaningful squat without a super thorough mobilization warm-up. The warmup and activation stuff feels important for performance and injury prevention in my case

Ай бұрын

Maybe it's because he's still newer to the sport and younger. A couple of the strongmen a little older than him that have experienced a few injuries have mentioned how important warming up is now even just being in their early 30s

My thinking is that losing weight is easy. Being healthy, strong, and fit is not as easy as losing weight. Losing weight is just about being in a calorie deficit. Does it mean I am getting stronger? More fit? Healthier? Not necessarily. It just means that I am losing weight. Losing fat, gaining muscle, and being fit is a better goal in my opinion.

I like your style

About excercise not helping you burn calories, you're saying that the appetite starts to match the calories burned, and you're right, but "starts to match" was shown from basically every studies I remember (correct me if there was some absolutely huge study recently) to only match up to like ~65% of the calories burned, resulting in excess burnt calories. Of course diet comes #1 when losing weight, but cardio obviously can contribute largely.

Totally agree Mitch. Omega 3 and 6 must be eaten, body doesn’t make. These are essential fats. some fat = good. Also to max gains, carbs are needed for muscle energy and performance. Need em all if you wanna be stronger, and healthy… total calories dictate weight. Simple sauce. Weird diets suck and won’t work long term from my experience. Great video.

These are golden. Everything resonated with me. As I think I have the shittiest genetics being a Filipino I still did the grind for about 10years and have learned most of the stuff here. Wish Id known it sooner. Thanks brother keep spreading great info

I think a common misconception for me at the beginning was that constant and harder training results in constant and more improvement ... only later did I realize how important rest is. And also also how more training does not necessarily result in more gains.

Can't wait to see the overlap between this and the No Stone Unturned series. I wouldn't be surprised if almost every topic found it's way on here in some form or another.

this is really good summery of fitness myths and i agree with you and i would like to the video that ideal body fat is between 10 to 15% body fat i think this is the best as it will show all your muscle and you will have perfect energy but some people how are in sport need higher body fat or there set point of body fat in there body is higher then 15 is fine but it also should be an excise to be more then 20% + body fat

To add something to the "MYTH 5" section. At least from what I see in climbing is, the pros (and non-pro strong guys, because competition climbing is very different from outdoor climbing) seem to pay more attention to what they're doing than the casual climbers. I love hearing and making the small discoveries, that might seem like a pointless detail to some, but are very important to me, and I believe make me much better (usually technique related). Also (again at least for me) the small lifestyle changes add up, and once you adapt them, it doesn't feel like you're doing anything different, but you are.

One thing with a lot of current pro climbers is that they also start from a VERY young age, like 3 years old. So they also have that built-in understanding of moving on a wall that most older people don't have and must work to build. Likewise, tendons are slow to build so its a lot of time to develop those insanely strong fingers, theres ways to help speed it up, but its also time in like he said with myth 8 and consistency. Modern comp climbers are a lot like any other pro athlete, they have dedicated coaches, dieticians, rehab, etc, etc. things that allow them the time focus on those little things that the average teen in school or working adult won't be able to as easily or with as little stress. And thats not even to mention the important interplay between technique and strength in climbing wherein its hard to determine, sometimes, which is limiting so ye

I tinker with style variations at lower weights, like 75% of my max. I sometimes pick up on a style and think that is the thing, and two months later look back and realize I dropped it.

I agree that people need to focus more on diet than exercise when trying to drop weight. However, exercise without calorie restriction is superior to calorie restriction without exercise in terms of body composition. The concept is called energy flux. Studie was done comparing 1. Calorie restriction 2. Exercise induced calorie deficit 3. Increase exercise and increase calories to match increased energy expenditure. The 3rd group did not lose weight as expected but they maintained/increased BMR while losing body fat and increasing muscle.

Nice bideo

#1 Totally agreed. Lighter load sets also give you some 'grease-the-groove' - refining technique and form. #2 Quality of food matters more than stigma-dogma #3 In general it holds, but is not true in all cases. For myself I can outwork my appetite - that in the context that I almost never eat any junk food, consume minimal carbs (about 100g in 4000 kcal daily exp) and a ton of protein and fiber. In summer months I do heavy physical work + the routine weight training and running - it gets difficult to maintain weight. Somehow I observe people on real KETO and carnivore are significantly more difficult to overfeed. Good quality animal food is expensive, is not that palatable for big portions, very high on protein - I mean how many eggs, how much cheese and chicken breast and olive oil, throw in some greens can you gobble up before you feel like throwing up - it ain't that much. The other problem with #3 is that the food you eat modifies the energy you expend - the mood, the hormones, the feeling in gut etc can make you want to move/do stuff or rather tuck in the sofa to binge watch Netflix. Not saying carbs are all evil - it can be the other way around, some people need them to feel great. A bodybuilder friend of mine says he wanted to go low carb like me to make cutting easier, but he had dreams of eating bread almost every night, not sustainable. #4 Spot on. Creatine Monohydrate is King of supplements. #5 Genetics, willpower and strong goals - this is what separates elites from average. Too many people make excuses on genetics - they don't even know their potential and have already given up. #6 Carbs are unnecessary for people who do not train heavy or work hard - not vital. Human body requires minimal glycose, that it can source from gluconeogenesis in a pinch, also even by eating all animal products you get some carbs (liver, egg etc contain some) - but additional carbs are very beneficial for high performance on heavy muscle effort. Great examples - reportedly Usain Bolt munched several boxes of chicken nuggets a day. Devon Larratt (your countryman) said in Lex's podcast that pizza and pancakes were best foods for peak arm wrestling. #7 Yeah, all but trans fats are needed. Omega 9 based oil is the safest form of energy to consume. No insulin manipulation, no business on inflammation pathways (omega6 and omega3), does not raise LDLc (saturated fats). #8 Duh. It is area under the curve of time put in and the intensity. #9 Under appreciated point. Good looks correlate but are not sure signal of health. Especially in era of juice, plastic surgery and botox. 10# Good point. Most people are not robots. They need good feeling about what they do to it be consistent.

Good luck at WSM.💪👍

Creatine definitely gets a bad rap. Looking physically fit equals fit doesn’t mean you’re fit. Doing lighter movements of the workout 🏋️‍♂️ are by far the best warm ups. Thinking elites are doing something different is common. But elites do have wisdom in the arena. Carbs and fats are totally misunderstood by most. Good points on them you made.

Greg says exercise helps you stay lean and lowers your body fat set point. I know doing cardio and not watching you calories is the reason they don’t lose weight while exercising. But it doesn’t always match like your saying. I think they say half but that’s still more calories your eating which can help with muscle partitioning. Even more plates more dates had a video on this.

Question about #10. I HATE working out and I'm only doing it for my health (I have two arthritic knees. My dad was in a wheelchair when he was 72. As the parent of a special-needs child I can't afford to be immobile that young so I work out to try to strengthen my leg muscles to take as much load possible off of my knees. Of course I train the rest of the body too - core, back and upper body strength are equally important to overall health.). There are days I truly, madly, deeply DON'T want to go to the gym and "make" myself go anyway. Usually on those days I'm not able to "force" myself to go balls-out 100% - I don't think all the way through the exercises (I just bang them out to be able to say I'm done), I don't necessarily go as close to failure as I normally could/should, and sometimes I even cut out an exercise or two so I can leave. The only way I'm going to meet my specific goal is weight training, and I don't "enjoy" weight training. Am I still getting SOME benefit from at least GOING to the gym even on the days I'm not 100% balls out?

The greatest thing keeping people from working out is the myth you need to go all out! Train moderately and occasionally push yourself and you'll enjoy the gym far more.

I workout to support my eating habits. 😂 But to also just stay healthy and to keep myself able to do things.

This. I picked up running and am doing several 10k's a week and an errant 15k twice or thrice a month. Not only have I shoveled off fat, but my eating is back up to my pre-exercising days levels and the weight stays off. In fact, now I must eat or I can't run well.

@@JosephCox-yx4ds It sucks to be using a method that does nothing and lying all day long about what does not work. What works is heavy weight lifting, which is a thing, and what I do. Now, if your faux pity is convertible to cash, give me a call.

I disagree with point 3. I always eat the same breakfast and I always eat one portion in the canteen of my university for lunch. I do now incorperate cardio every morning before breakfast. With this eating structure in place, it works for me. Also hitting your protein goals becomes so much easier. I tried to lose weight with less cardio and I often had the problem that my calorie goal was reached, but my protein goal not.

@@bennytolkienfreund7182 The point is to counter the preconceived notion that exercise is THE way to lose weight. Which it is not. It takes less effort to simply eat less if you want to lose weight than it is to start exercising. The point was also to make clear that many people who do start exercising will naturally start eating more due to expanding more energy and building more muscle, thus countering the plan of working out to lose weight. It's more about bursting people's bubbles and waking them up to the actual efficacy working out will have on losing weight vs the alternative; simply adjusting your eating habit to contain less calories. And yeah, if you're only slightly above your calories with your current eating habit and would like to keep eating the way you do, obviously taking up some kind of exercising isn't a bad thing and will help you. But look at it this way: 30 minutes of running loses you about 300 calories at 10 min/mile pace. That's about a slice of pizza you lost in calories and it's something you need to do every day for the rest of your life in order to maintain that caloric deficit. But how many people with the plan of 'starting to exercise to lose weight' will have that kind of conviction? It's better to tell people that exercising is not THE way to lose weight than it is to tell them otherwise.

@@QPoily I think he's trying to say they is no point thinking that ''exercise makes you lose weight'' if you are going to do a really hard bike cardio session and then go straight to the gym cafe afterwards and eat a big piece of cake whose calories will replace the ones you lost. He just means doing exercise doesn't magically make you lose weight.

@@QPoily it is THE way to increase calories out. for being struggling to keep calories IN to a sufficiently low level (due to low metabolism and sedentary lifestyle) increasing calories OUT just makes it plain easier to lose weight without feeling like you have to starve yourself with tiny meals or forcing a ton of green leaf veggies down to curb hunger. it also gives you the opportunity to supplement with a lot of protein which can curb hunger a tiny bit as well. obviously different things works for different people, but I feel like if you want to lose weight AND be healthy, exercise combined with an unstrict diet (just dont overeat and snack all day..) is the only longterm way

When you say creatine is the energy source for the first 5 seconds of movement, what do you mean specifically? Like first 5 seconds I’m moving after I wake up? First 5 seconds of movement in a set? Per set ? Just curious since it’s not the first time I’ve heard you say it and just not totally sure about what exactly you mean

Of any event of maximal physical exertion. A sprint, a heavy lift, a jump, etc

It’s hard to get sweaty in these gyms that are freezing.

Big myth: you’re too old to be lifting weights. I’m 68 still lifting still making gains. Yes recovery is much longer but you just gotta push yourself and not shrivel up into a couch potato 😮😅
