[@falcn3012]

Yeah but he uses steroids and sometimes cherry picks researches.But apart from that, I also watch him and like him a lot.

[@jamesallen6309]

I would add the 'The Bioneer' to this list. He is in a category of his own in my opinion. What I learnt from him was the gym isn't the only place to build muscle. Functional strength for me is now where it's at - not necessarily big muscles that was my goal for too many years. This is definitely not a criticism of gym culture. If you want big muscles and the ability to move big poundages, the gym is the ultimate place to develop that. If you want functional strength, speed, power and flexibility, the gym is only an optional extra.

[@_Yep_Yep_]

Bioneer is pretty boss. I think you are correct. He is so extreme that i think he gets perceived as an outlier...but the fact is that Bioneer is batshit crazy about fitness and puts in extraordinary work.

[@ienjoyapples]

The Bioneer is way outside the mainstream, so I could imagine a lot of fitness traditionalists thinking he's full of shit. Traditional fitness is sport-specific: powerlifting, bodybuilding, athletics, etc. I see fitness going more and more in the direction the bioneer is going, expanding the capabilities of your body as far and wide as you can, rather than a narrow focus on a particular sport. Most of us aren't competitive athletes. We just want a strong, aesthetic and capable body.

[@MrCmon113]

Wtf is "functional strength". You are strong in a certain movement and you decide what movements you want to be strong in. What's "functional" for a rock climbers is not as "functional" for a swimmer.

[@Awonya]

@@MrCmon113 benching 315 with a half inch rom and serious arch isn't functional because you couldn't actually press that much off of your chest.

[@milesdorum7523]

​@@MrCmon113 Your right there is really no functional strength for humans anymore like there was thousands of years ago. We can get away with being lazy peices of shit because there is no need for athletism for survival. So thats why the bioneer clarify's superfunctional training which means training to do stuff we dont actually need to survive. Because its cool.

I actually started with the Buff Dudes. They do a lot of silly stuff, but when it comes to training and nutrition, they really go straight to the basics, it's solid. Beginner-friendly, never bullshitting, always with the pros & cons when they try new diets or exercises. As opposed to Athlean X that will give you 167 advices to follow "each and every day" and often gets me lost.

[@T0tenkampf]

I like their info too even when its wrapped up in juju silliness

[@Hari-kx2er]

Their 'silliness' as you call it is in fact their creativity and it is what sets them apart from the 'highly serious' format of other fitness youtubers. Besides, their great family dynamics, fitness challenges, building various gyms etc videos are the greatest combo of entertainment plus valuable information.

[@buttsexandbananapeels]

Buff Dudes have great content with solid fact-based information and they bring a lot of good energy into it.

[@RK0978]

I always took Athlean's advice and routines as a loaded lecture or comprehensive manual. I never expected to be doing everything that he says you should be doing, because honestly the load and time needed is just silly. No working man has that much time and energy on their hands. It's usually really good advice and insight, but it's certainly far more intense and complicated than most people need.

[@JudgeFudge57]

@@RK0978 I look at Jeff Cavaliere mostly for the stuff to avoid as I already had a few back and shoulder injuries and to try alternate exercises.

@The Horny Vegan's Little Brother it's funny because your criticism was of Layne Norton saying that he says any diet works... he ALWAYS posts that diet adherence is pretty much the most important thing and that keto diet has low adherence... I think that yes, studies have shown that the adherence to keto diet is lower compared to some other diets but I'm not going to dismiss it for the few people who do and can adhere to it. My only point is that being in a caloric deficit is the only way to lose fat and it doesn't matter what diet model you follow.

Yes, of course, there is plenty of over-lap. And "the Science" is the same.. mostly. But there were also some different outcomes they were looking for... and most 'Quality' Lady KZbinrs, who are truly training for athletic performance, are going to focus on those outcomes that most apply to female Athletes. {And I am not talking about Aerobics video's and 'Dance for fitness' programs.} Some times there ARE differences in male and female needs with OUT being labeled "Sexist" ...

The bioneer, Jeff Nipard, Vitruvian physique, hybrid calisthenics, buff dudes are ones that deserve an honorable mention they are always consistently putting out good content but this list was great.

[@jdogg448]

Yes! Vitruvian Physique doesn't get enough recognition.

[@AmericanWrathchild]

The Buff Dudes have always been my favorites. They're very beginner friendly, their info is science based and it's presented in a fun way. They got something for everybody.

[@shredd5705]

There's honestly lot of good ones who give 95% correct information to get buff (without steroids). Building muscle is hard but not complex, the primary driving force is between your ears = pure guts. I mean sure you need correct form, compound lifts, enough protein yada yada but that information has been floating in the internet for 20+ years. Arnold Golden Six, whatever. Now the information is easier to find than ever, from videos like this guy makes. But building muscle isn't rocket science, it's primarily a guts thing (and THAT is what causes most people to fail). The muscle doesn't know/see what you are doing, it only knows if it's contracting hard or not. And if it happens often enough or not.

[@josephkingsley8708]

He is straight up the best out there. Do you know every piece of information he puts out has been meticulously researched. The fact that he’s a healthcare professional and trusted by professional sports organizations lends him a lot of credibility.

[@tomom2011]

Athlene-x is worthy of a spot, he's a physio who recommends excellent exercises for those with joint issues. I know you have issues with his supplements, but his exercises and majority of his advice are quality.

[@williamperry313]

Ryan Humiston is the best. I may not always agree with his exercise choices, but appreciate his ability to try new things and change workouts frequently, from angles to rep ranges, etc.. For me, doing the same exercises is boring. I never do the same workout twice. Everybody is different. My body responds better to ever changing routines. Same for diet. There is not correct diet for losing fat/gaining muscle. Each person is different and how they metabolise. For me dirty Keto works, but it may not for others. Exercise and diet is not one size fits all. There are general principles that need to be tweaked or acclimated to the individual through trial of error of years of training and diet.

[@JayKaiLol]

Just subscribed - it really grinds my gears how some people can do whatever in the gym, end up looking good, and then feel that theyre qualified to give advice to other people, especially if they have a large following. It makes it hard for actually knowledgeable professionals to give advice out online because beginners won't know who to look to. Solid video man, look forward to learning from you and these guys :)

[@troels7]

I will now only follow Brad Castleberry. Thank you Sean.

[@gigisdad]

Hi Sean. I've just started checking out your content and find your no nonsense approach and info refreshing and helpful so thanks! Another notable mention besides Jeff N is Mike Israetel. His attempts at humor can sometimes be irritating but his overall knowledge seems solid.

[@ActiveDutyRealtor]

[@ravonderelle]

Hi, new subscriber here. I'm not actually fit, but I used to be. I'm going to get back into the gym soon, but I think a couple of honorable mentions for legit lifters or "workout gurus" are Fraser Wilson, Jeremy Ethier, and Ryan Humiston. They're no BS and pretty straight to the point, all about helping others. That's in case you do another video about other people we could comfortably follow as well.

[@QuestionEverything562]

Shout out to Scott Herman too. He's been on KZbin a long time now, and he's always been natural. He gives great advice on technique and form, as well as great workout vids that he actually does.

@@amreadyconsulting Yes the formatting is definitely nothing amazing, but content speaks for itself, appreciate the support!

[@rickmendes4179]

Hey Sean, great video, but I have a question.... It actually has to do with a previous critique video you did on Jeff Cavalier.... I have been following Jeff's programs for a couple years, and have had great results... He has helped me through a neck injury, and I feel better than I ever have... Now I know he isn't the right guy for EVERYTHING fitness, but I love his science based overall athletic approach... If I wanted to become a body builder I would follow John Meadows for example... If I wanted to be a strongman I would follow Thor or Eddie Hall.... If I wanted to be a calisthenics guru I would follow the guy from Fitness FAQ's (sorry not sure what his name is, the Australian guy, lol).... My point, or moreover my question, is what about Jeff don't you like? Other than the fake weight issue, which I get, and his products are a bit pricey... But beyond that, do you think he gives quality advice and content? I mean the guy has been an athletic trainer for a really long time, working with a lot of big name athletes who swear by his training model... I guess the main reason I ask is because, although I hear you and agree with you on the fact of his fake weight usage (but to be honest there can be many reasons he chose to do that...), I wanted to see if you felt he has quality content beyond that? Is that the only reason he didn't make your recommended list? Thanks for your time, I do enjoy your content brother, and value your input, hence why I am even asking you this... Have a great day.

[@davida6919]

I was gonna ask the same actually. I kinda with the right guy part. In my opinion I think there’s no such thing as the “right guy” for everything fitness. There’s plenty of other people who are legit too

[@JudgeFudge57]

The guy may sell pricy products but it's not like he goes on and on advertising them as if he was the only solution to your problems. As for the fake weights, I really couldn't care less cause his videos aren't about the weight, it's about the form, he's mostly doing reps as an exemple to show you the do's and don'ts. I don't care if a guy can bench press 300lbs, if he has a shit form and is not at all instructive, I won't give him any respect.

[@tristanhnl]

How Jeremy Ethier is left off this list boggles my mind. I think he deserves a place, even if there's only 6 spots. His content are creme de la creme among fitness youtubers, as just about everything he releases is very solid, backed by science/studies. On the other hand, someone who is on this list, such as Mario Tomic, is spot on (usually), but most of his videos are anecdotal (personal experience, not based on science), he rehashes and says the same things over and over again in a short span of time (example, in the last 3-4 months he released 3 videos on the exact same topic....fat-burning), and a lot of his material is more motivational rather than rigorously informative. Jeremy overtakes Mario, every time. I would even say, guys like Sean Nalewanyj, who boasts about being scientific, hardly ever cites the actual science. He wants you to *assume* what he's saying is scientific, and take his word for it. Both Mario and Sean speak confidently and authoritatively (respectively), which gives off the feeling like they know what they're talking about. I'll give those 2 guys credit, they generally *ARE* on-point...but they rarely back up what they say, and to me that is *problematic* . Why? If you don't back up what you're saying, even if you're correct, what makes you more credible than the sketchy fitness content creators that plague youtube? You are hardly better than them. Without evidence for your points, you're essentially just saying "trust me, because I'm right, trust me because I say so". Jeremy on the other hand, will show you the actual studies and explain the science, anatomy, physiology, and logic, EVERY....SINGLE....TIME. In my view he ought to be #1 on everyone's list. And on top of that, he just seems like a nice, humble guy. **He lets his quality content do the talking,** and doesn't get his jollies off "exposing" the fakers on youtube. If you do that, you're going to get into a never-ending cycle of "exposing". Sure you don't want people to be wasting their time with the fakers out there, but I say again....let your content do the talking! We're not stupid. If I watch a V-Shred video, and then watch a Jeremy video on the same topic, I'm going to realise there are OBVIOUS discrepancies and differences in their recommendations, some of which are very polar opposites. In that case, with Jeremy's content being backed by sound science, guess who I'm going to conclude is correct? Releasing video after video after video "exposing" the fakers just makes guys like Sean sound cynical, and to be quite honest, like a booty hole desperate for attention and viewership. Having said all that, yes I understand this list is just one reporter's opinion, and he can put whomever he wants on it. I just personally think Jeremy's such an obvious choice, and even to take top spots....such that not being on such a list at all, throws me off, like, WUH??? LoL
