that cracking sound at 1:17 was awesome 😂😂

If there is a team that can make something better ? can you be their scientist for the app

Please do one for any ring like oura or ring con!

Nice! but that bench definitely isnt powerlifting standard.

Great review. Also, you look like Luka Doncic, if he was in better shape.

Which is better, this or P90x? And why? Curious about everyone’s opinion/experience.

Whoop heart rate tracking is garbage, i can wave my arms and hit 150 bpm while sitting at my desk.

Lol I know this is a yesr later but your smoking crack talking down on someone who built something for himself. I did his hybrid program for a entire year and in that year I have done 1 half triathlon, 1 sprint triathlon, I went from being 155LB not being able to bench over 180 to weighing 192LB and benching 215. I eat over 3200 calories and i run 6 miles every morning and 10 miles on Friday. The fact you talk crap about it tells me you didn't put your heart into the program so how can you sit there and say it is pretty much crap if you half ass the program. People like you make me laugh, who cares if he is natty or not, you do it for yourself not to be like nick. That's why you failed, figure out who you are and look in the mirror before you start to judge someone else's life.

Great video HAHAH

hahaha

Dude, Trent, great video. Consider me subscribed. I love how you point out that, natty or not, there is no good conclusion from trying to emulate Nick Bare. I'm a dad, climber, and runner, and I workout when I can. I have a full time job. I am in pretty good shape, but I'm like 5 levels below Nick, and one of my biggest issues is over-training. No way he's doing this all natural.

Wow, so much work has gone into this video. Thank you

A lot of health assumptions made that have nothing to do with Whoop- great example of what I mean is calorie consumption. Review assumes that a)weight loss is as easy as calories in and calories out, and b)calories are accurately reported on labels, and /or food is weighed appropriately. Reviewing may be over or under estimating calorie burn of workouts, as it has been universally an issue since calorie burn was understood at all that those trying to measure exercise expenditure grossly over estimate, in all great intentions, their expenditure. Furthermore, while adding up 100 calories here and there over time works great for some stats guy, in real life, 100ish calorie discrepancy in meaningless. I felt like this reviewer has never worn another tracker and has no idea that this science is meant to get it pretty right, but that it will never get it fully right. HR on a wrist, for example, is more user friendly and desired by the consumer, yet it does not produce the best results. It's a limitation one must be willing to accept. Also, a data guy should understand user fails. If your tracker is falling off at night, the user needs to do better.

Thanks for this. Yesterday I got this huge urge, again, to buy a Whoop, but decided to watch a couple of videos that aren't sponsored and seem to be more on the objective and rational side of things. I knew before watching these videos that these trackers aren't accurate enough with most of what they do, and that for me personally it's mostly useless data, but I still get that damn urge...probably due to all the influencers and ads out there promising something life changing or that you have to track sleep and whatnot. Really hard to shake that one off for me. For now I'll use my Polar H10 and for sleep I simply track average HR once a quarter to see if there's a tendency and/or what happens after certain changes in diet and such.

there's no way your sensor isnt defective or improperly mounted, that weight lifting hr graph is all over the place as you said, mine looks exactly like your garmin, and the HR also matches my apple watch 9 almost always during workouts

>>4:37

You had another 10kg on squat at least at the beginning

Not a veteran.

Playing music over yourself talking is not only annoying and distracting, it indicates you aren't confident in your content. 👎

Yet, Apple Watch gives you outrageous HR which you know CANNOT be correct, Whoop is definitely elite!!!

Bulk up n you could be Liam Hemsworth's double

Here before he blows up lmao

I have NEVER had any of the technical issues that he is experiencing. Probably have a defective tracker or user error or both.

Wierd question is Ben and Jerry's ice cream any good

Should have still tried a bad form deadlift at the end of the 30 days. If you were competing you wouldnt care about form and just go for it. I do agree that training with a straight back js better and will make you stronger jn the end though

Truly amasing video bravo for standing out about this problem i am an software engineer, a tech guy passionate about healt and more importantly startup founder in which the key technology are smartwaches for detection emotional responses and i learned about HRV,Respitory rate,EEG,PPG and so on.So actualluy i have encountered that most smartwatches eeg which is presented into the app use different methods and assumpitons or may present you the data in a way easy for you but not relevant.Most smartwatches cant detect real HR they detect blood flow and make assumptions.Those who can,cant detect HRV in most cases and calculate it without all mediacal data needed the other 4 heart waves that the EEG big machine can detect but the smartwatch can't .Important to mention that your HRV is the most important data which is controles by your autonomic neuro system which is made by sympatic and parasympatic one so .HRV tells you what your system does and the system does it trough the hrv like sweating,breathing (the respiratory rate),REM sleep and stress most importantly so bassicly your hrv contorls all of the things and is influenced by them so yeah im not a data scientist but i think its normal to have these data problems also HRV patterns up and down are the exact opposite of your heart rate one and the respiratory rate so the confounding variables problem may not exist if its looked deeper into the data.Still amasing content and some vibe from Bulgaria!

why is bros squat in the same range as bench

People need to see this video. I almost purchased lol. Glad that I saw this video before I decided.

5:22 what city is this? kinda envious of this nice wide sidewalk and view.

I have started AX1 numerous times but always quit and just got back to my basic bro split because I felt that I was losing muscle on AX1. I might get serious soon though and actually do the whole damned program because I'm currently needing to lose some weight.

I just got the Whoop, and it's almost dead on with my Garmin FR935. It's interesting you said the Garmin chest strap is the good standard, I've never heard that. It's usually the Polar H10, and i can 100% agree the polar is more accurate; the Garmin was the worst I've ever used. It constantly stopped or would say my hr was over 200 when i was walking. I think all this shows that these devices seem to work better for some than others.

300 million wong is about 220,000 usd so it's fine money but not much anyway who cares about the money we are here for the competition

An example of bad data science

Gold standard in HR measurement is Polar H9/10 but I'm just nit-picking. Also thumbs up for the good video :)

How did you get all of his exercise equipment?

pause reps boyo

I’ll be your 1000 subscribers pal 👊🏼

I believe its about one meal a day, not much about eat one hour a day 😅

hey I know im late brother , but if your feeling tingly in the head off of a deadlift obviously thats normal! but if it ever gets to the point its causing pain or blowing up blood vessels it could be that your bracing is off, always into the gut and not into your head !

WHOOP is a scam and they will be exposed. The hedge fund I work for already filed a Whistle Blower Complaint for "Misleading Customers".

Great review! The Fundamentals of Hypertrophy program is excellent! I got some of the best results I've ever had (both strength and body composition) running the Full Body 3x per week version of this program. Being 46 years old, I felt the volume on this program was perfect and allowed me to feel well recovered throughout the week. On non-workout days I would do 12 degree incline treadmill for 35-50 minutes. I also did 6 weeks of the Upper Lower split, but my recovery was not near as good and I felt more run down so I'm switching back to the Full Body 3x and may just add an extra set of volume on the primary compound lifts.

Am I crazy or shouldn't your butt stay planted on the bench during the whole rep for it to be valid in competition powerlifting?

Very interessant post! I would love to see a test from you about the bevel app with the Apple Watch. Or in other words: do you think there is any device which can provide “somewhat good” data to see recovery and sleep?

This shits hilarious.

Kill myself lifting weights: "You had low strain today" Mild cardio for 20 minutes: "WOW take a rest tomorrow, your strain is through the roof!".

Good video but I hear alot about "feelings". That's not a bad thing but the point of all of these tools is to give a baseline of some sort to build motivation from. I'm sure we can all agree that nothing worn on the wrist or the finger is going to be lab accurate.

how you have extracted the woops data?

I like this guy, I like this guy a lot

It would be cool if scams weren’t so acceptable. I got one a few days ago because I liked the idea of it and want to improve my health. Now I’m watching a data scientist tell me it’s garbage and it likely is. I thought it actually tracked my heart rate because it’s a heart rate monitor. Mine says my highest sustained stress times are whenever it says I’m in deep sleep. A chatbot in the app says it could be because I need to change my lifestyle 🥴. I need to stop buying things.

Hey, recently Whoop updated their software that improved their heartrate precision significantly, hence it may also improved sleep precision by the same margin. Will be nice to see that remark somewhere in the pinned comment and see a retest from your side :)
