Great advices! I am kind of a newbie in gym despite not being young anymore…. And I am desperate to see the chopsticks that stand as forearms on me to get a bit bigger.

@aarondaviescoaching Ай бұрын

Awesome to hear you’re getting in the gym! Starting now is better than never starting at all. Definitely recommend starting light and easy and building up; sprinkle 1-2 of these exercises in across a workout and I’m sure you’ll see improvement. Also, if you have any questions or want any advice just fire away in the comments I will try to do my best to help.

@aarondaviescoaching Ай бұрын

I dare say I think you've found it :). Honestly - stronger grip and forearms can only help with CrossFit; especially a lot oft bar movements like pull ups/muscle ups. Stronger forearms/grip means better endurance for them because you won't be working so close to your maximum available effort. I very much recommend also doing lots of the crush grip work and rotation exercises too.

I think the issue with this thought process is that you assume the general population has the same nutritional knowledge as those of us who have been living this way for a long time. The average person doesn’t know how many servings of protein they have because they don’t know how many grams of protein are in each protein source, for example the fat to protein ratio in 80/20 ground beef is different than 94/6. This would work for someone working with a coach or trainer to then look back on these photos and give feed back but for beginners that food diary will mean nothing to them. Most people don’t have an idea of how much an ounce is or even simply a cup, and unfortunately a lot of people also under estimate their intake because they are in denial about how much they’re actually taking in.

@aarondaviescoaching Ай бұрын

Not assuming that everyone has the same nutritional knowledge, it’s just hard to provide a full process to managing your diet in a 10 minute video 🤣. I think even without a coach, or experience, or qualifications, someone can take a honest food journal for a couple of weeks and see some obvious things that they can change easily that will have a positive impact. If people struggle to be honest with themselves, like you say, and underestimate what they eat, then I would say that a food channel is potentially really really helpful because as long as they just take the photos there is no hiding from the reality. Yes, specifics like fat to protein ratio in different beef isn’t going to be obvious to some, but I don’t think that’s where people are making mistakes. This video, does not provide a solution by itself, I completely agree with you on that. But that’s not really the intent with a 10 minute video. It’s just to get people to consider other options, and to potentially give them a try. That being said, no single method is perfect for everyone, it might experience however this is a really good place to start. Is that fair?

Great video mate, your advice is absolutely spot on. Regular cardio and using machines have really helped keep my training consistent, fun and injury free. Consistency would be my sixth point.

Elliptical cardio machines or “cross trainers” can provide an intense workout at least as much as a cycling machine. While it may be true that many people do not push themselves on an elliptical - you certainly can do so. You can alter the work you are doing on an elliptical in several ways very quickly. 1) You go faster at a given resistance. 2) You turn up the resistance. 3) You change the incline / angles at which your muscles are working. 4) You can alter the balance of effort you are putting out between your upper and lower body. 5) You can go in reverse. You can make all of these adjustments very quickly during your workout - lending the elliptical to being a great tool for interval training or variable intensity training. The elliptical is a very safe way of doing very high intensity. As opposed to say sprinting on a treadmill - your chances of being injured is very low. For long continuous endurance sessions an elliptical is great - as opposed to for example a rower you can more easily do things like watch a youtube video or read a book. An elliptical as opposed to a cycle - gets you up off your ischial tuberosities - which much of us spend too much time on already. Standing on an elliptical rather than sitting on a the saddle of a bike will engage more sets of muscles. A good elliptical is very easy on the joints - you are not causing the impact you will have with a treadmill. Please consider revising your list moving elliptical up to the top tier.

@aarondaviescoaching 5 ай бұрын

Whilst I respect your arguments I still don’t think it offer the same level of stimulus as some of the other bits of kit. But this is a purely opinionated tier list; it’s hardly a hard science. I am happy that people use any kit. But you give me the time or the budget to use/buy only one and I’d follow this tier list. The fan bike simply provides a level of stimulus the cross trainer can’t hope to match. But I take your points.

@Scottdick6 5 ай бұрын

elliptical super underrated. Especially if you have a commercial one and use a high resistance. It is not hard for it to be intense. I use level 18/20 and I can do 300 cals in 17 minutes. No impact. Full body. You clearly have not used a good one with high resistance before.

@simontaylor2525 5 ай бұрын

Curved runner is great if you just want to tack on some intervals onto the end of a weights session. Feels like a very different stimulus to treadmill. Agree that running on it for anything over, say, 2 minutes straight is not the best.

Complete agreement. I like the machine, just not up there with best is all

@bangbangfan2184 5 ай бұрын

I think you have undersold the elliptical. I think if you put the resistance up a decent amount you can get a decent zone 2 workout over a long period with very little impact. It's also good for a 15-20 minute warmup/warm down after or before a weights session. IT is full body workout, uses practically every muscle in the body and it is easy to modify the workout by going backwards/focussing on pushing/pulling or just using the legs. I think it is a solid B tier. The other piece of equipment that should have been on here is the stairmill. That is a machine that can generate a very high heartrate and can leave the user drowning in sweat after only 20-30 minutes.

@aarondaviescoaching 5 ай бұрын

You definitely can get a good workout. But I think for most above a certain training age it’s not going to give you the same level of stimulus as some of the other machines. As a warm up - great, as easier cardio - great, as something easier on joints - great. But I don’t think it offer the same level of stimulus at higher intensity like fan bike/treadmill/rower does. But this is a completely biased opinion video so I don’t think I’m right 🤣. Any other machines you would rate differently ?

@russcoash6710 5 ай бұрын

I will say that this is something I try to do anytime my character does something that might be seen as rude. For example, in a text game I'm in I'm playing a Spore Druid who has a fungus on the left side of his face that speaks to him. He's incredibly self-centered and rude, he goes off without the party more often than he doesn't, he acts better than people, and overall just doesn't care about his allies. I was given permission to play him like this by the DM, but I've consistently asked the players to tell me to tone it down if they had a problem with this and have apologised when doing or saying things that are very rude in character, just so that the players know this is just the character, and not me speaking down to them. I think your advice is great Aaron! Keep helping new and upcoming players and showing the nerdy community to hit the gym like you do. I look forward to your next video man!

I’m happy to share insights of our games and tips etc; but wouldn’t record and post from them directly as it would break that immersion, make people feel self conscious and spoil the magic for that small group of people who show up every week to play together.

I literally do all three! About 15 years ago, in my youth, I started running and boxing. My dad bought me a starter box of 6th ed Warhammer Fantasy around the same time. Didn't get into d&d until my early 20s with the release of 5th edition (my dad had played a lot in the 80's, so I knew a lot about it). Now just broke into my 30's, lost all my exess weight over the last 5 years in leas than 1 year, but now I want to put all back on (muscle instead of buscuit chub this time). I now play 9th Age (a fan made, precisely balanced, wargame made to take Warhammer Fantasy's place after GW cancelled it). And my own homebrew RPG, that streamlines 5th ed d&d while also calls back to a lot of old school tropes. So yeah, I feel like this channel is practically made for me!! All the best Aaron!! I'll be tuning in frequently!
