honestly NIppard is a good guy, Eugene Teo is also good. Dr Mike is dogshit though, and he's giving the other science based guys a bad name. (Milo is pretty bad too.) He's giving all these shitty reason to go slow, but the main reason not to is becaue you have to use less weight which means less tension which means less gains. The other crap he goes on about is ROM, but when he does leg press for example and goes completely duck footed and knees way out to the side, buttwink etc, those extra 2 inches you get from doing that stuff is doing everything you can to get deeper without actually elongating the target muscle, oh yeah, and you also have to strip off weight to get down there. Honestly the only good advice you see from RP is generic stuff that everyone says, everything that is unique to RP is bad. (edit: 55:50, it's even worse than that, he stops the set with 1-2 RIR of mechanical failure) Nippard should focus his attention on the shit advice they give.

I like what Bald Omni-Man says about lifting tempo: "Control the weight, but don't be a try-hard." Control the weight and don't flail around, go through a decent range of active tension, and progress over time. Tension is still the main driver within a set, and progressive overload the main driver over time. Dr. Mike has made up half the stuff he says. He's not evidence-based at all anymore. The evidence is pretty limited, guys who are actual science communicators like Eric Helms are much more reliable. I think after training with Mike recently, this video is Jeff's Canadian-nice way of distancing himself from Dr. Mike. Jeff built the majority of his physique doing big compound movements and getting stronger on isolations. Bread and butter stuff.

The difference is insignificant not because it's small, it's insiginificant because it is smaller than the possible error in measurement.

So that difference is in fact completely fake and you should look at the two bars as being equal. This is like a statistics meme so it feels kind of unintuitive.

Yes it was funny, and his mental math part was funny. He almost had a point that if the study was 4 years it could be more but as you said it could be because of chance. I don't actually believe that 2 different methods can have the same results but it depends on the time frame.

Professor Horsecock, just a small comment on “significance” here. In scientific terms, “not significantly different” does not mean that the difference is too small to be biologically relevant. It means that the measured difference is more likely to have arose from random variance than an actual effect. So the small differences in the bar graphs at 29:55 were more likely due to random chance than the shorter negative actually being beneficial.

[@TheAxisbold]

If you notice all of the things that “work” in Jeff’s table were shown to have scientific efficacy on the basis of quite recent studies.

WARNING - PENCILNECK COMMENT Eric - very small differences between graphs are utterly meaningless if the extent of difference is not significant enough . The reason being that if you repeat the study then there will be differences each time and in different directions, and overall that means there's basically no difference. That's why scientists stress the point of these tiny differences as being insignificant. If one approach was truly superior to the other then there would be a big enough effect that can't be down to errors and you would see much more consistent findings. From what I can see, as a medical doctor, most hypertrophy research suggests science based approaches can be disregarded apart from overall effort, and arguably a decent stretch at the start. I find your sceptical approach to exercise science very refreshing, and love the points you make about bringing gusto to what you enjoy doing above all else but jumping on a tiny difference between graphs is a bit of an own goal as it just undermines the good points you made

So true, lately mike and jeff have been releasing videos saying more sets up to like 30 sets a week creates more growth and going to failure makes more growth. So wtf, its about managing fatigue i guess. So just take a day off when you cant lift as heavy and eat more carbs for a day. I use the rp hypertrophy app to organize lifts and i just go to failure almost everylift instead of the rir bs. Now going into week 5 to full failure next week. Planning on 3 days rest prior with some carbs then i plan to go full failure on everything and beyond. I expect to go till the leg press is stuck down, etc. Its all mindset

Coffee and dr. Density, I’m ready for my first lesson 🤓

[@ChadAV69]

And then Jeff’s next video will be a Delt exercise tier list because he found some random study that says you can get 5% more gains by doing some random stupid thing. And the study was on 30 non trained people over 6 weeks. The number one exercise will be upside down cable laterals.

[@snugglezbrah5558]

I literally trained based on science for 2 years like a smuck. Made ZERO progress. The last year went back to the meat and potatos and have put on 30lbs. Inches on my legs, arms and neck, chest, etc. Science based lifters will say that is anactotal but I don’t care it works for me.

[@CankleCankle]

I would say that the method you followed is actually optimal. Body building horse crap for a couple of years to develop tendon/ligaments and mind muscle connections and then in a couple of years, get to horse cocking. I probably believe this because this is literally what I did. It was inadvertently because I started working out with my bodybuilding focused buddy. I made some gains but I became disillusioned because I found out he was running massive amounts of PEDs and lied to me about it. So I quit training with him and ventured out on my own. I followed actual strong people like Matt Wenning, Stan Efferding and Mark Bell. I came to the conclusion that what is really important is progressing strength. And big surprise, as I worked up to a 315 squat, my legs grew. And the same with the other associated muscles according to each main movement. Strength is king and bodybuilding is masturbation; not to mention, bodybuilding is gay.

Ricky is moving into a whole new world: pre-exhausting for double-time metal drumming sticking patterns.

[@ALLforROME]

Double bass drumming?!? What kinda tempos we talkin' ?!? And what pedals are you using?! I'm a Speedcobra guy myself 🥁

[@terischannel]

Sometimes when I'm having a hard time motivating myself to get the minimum done I listen to a few minutes of Sticky Ricky's philosophy and I get a second wind. Thanks bro.

[@voornaamachternaam9821]

In the video where Jeff ranks the exercises the title says "THE BEST AND WORST BACK EXERCISES RANKED BY SCIENCE" it seems to me he realised how stupid that ranking was and now he is trying to backtrack.

[@edibaber5525]

He literally changed the titles and now says "based on science and experience" in his videos. Part of me wants to credit him for changing but also, why was ever doing it in the first place, surely he knows better?

[@voornaamachternaam9821]

@edibaber5525 I completely agree, on my phone its still the old titles tho.

Seeing Mike Israetel train legs in that elitefts video recently made me realize I need to take anything that he says with a heavy grain of salt. He was definitely strong back in the day with a few movements (OHP particularly) but he trains like a wuss man it was actually embarrassing to see.

[@emirnartyzhev2053]

Cable one arm rows made me think unilateral work for back is pretty mid, that was before I tried heavy cheat dumbbell rows though

Thank you for being a friend Rick

Jeff: My tier list doesn't mean what people thought it meant. Also Jeff: *doesn't explain what it actually meant*

[@mgacy2957]

No, he did. Ricky just talked over his explanation with tremendous gusto and heart. Jeff said that his tier list was for advanced lifters who have already finished the bread and butter classics in their routine and wanted extra activation, basically "Do these lifts as icing on the cake because they have the most stability, which is needed after you've 🐎🐔'd tremendous loads".

[@ninjabobbob]

@@mgacy2957which is a dumb way to rank stuff. He was not ranking finishers he was ranking “the best exercises according to SCIENCE”

[@mgacy2957]

@@ninjabobbob Bruv his content has always catered to advanced lifters, idk what to tell you.

[@ninjabobbob]

@ brother look at the community poll he made two years ago. He asked his followers what their bench is and the vast majority couldn’t get 225. I think it was like 17% could bench 225.Not really advanced are they.

[@mgacy2957]

​@@ninjabobbob They may not be, but when he's made videos in the past he always added a "beginner" caveat which isn't something you'd do if the video was tailored to beginners.

[@thernius5786]

Jeff literally just said everything Rick has been saying for years and called it science. I don't respect his pivot whatsoever

[@Daveywavey427]

Jeff's tier list seems like a real bait and switch now. If he wants to be science based he should be much more clear and specific in his aims, results, conclusions and language generally. Saying x is best for back and in a follow up video saying x is actually best for a specific part of the back is not scientific rigour.

It’s nice knowing that even the Stick has shit workouts sometimes, he might be human after all

[@davechopin6788]

So true about enthusiasm for training. Was doing the tempo thing and was...OK. But only after I got back into strength training did I truly get back my...mojo! First week and a half put on 7kg.

[@aesop2733]

Bro every single time I've injured myself I've noticed the same thing. I gotta sit back and evaluate what I'm doing because I have no other choice and I always end up stronger than I was before. Minus a few tweaks here and there but whatever. Adaptability is the mother of all consistency

[@TeamHahnVlog]

Brian Alsruhe talks about doing what excites you as far as assistance exercises goes. He hates straights sets and reps so make all of his assistance some sort of challenge basically, an emom or Tabata. He’s super strong!

[@earlofcockgobblingshire3666]

Jeff literally will set up a premise that he thinks is fallacious, because he's about to shoot it down, and then Rick has an issue with the premise and doesn't hear Jeff shoot it down. It's like he doesn't care about the video at all, and doesn't understand how to take in information

[@creativedegree]

Ayyyy TV talk with Dr. Density. What a blessing 😊

[@williamheffernan1548]

What does work - soviet research proves this a long time ago. If you can lift 100 lbs, you can lower 140 lbs and hold 140-200lbs. So If you've maxed you positive (lift) strength - Train to max you eccentric (lowing) 140% of your positive strength. Train negative only training with 140% loads. Same with isometrics with 140-200% loads. Those loads are SUPER HORSE COCK!!! Do this for 4 6 weeks blocks a year and you will be bigger and stronger - impossible not to be. A trick is use a high sodium diet to reduce injury risk.

[@Walker299]

Have you seen hypertrophy coach aka joe bennets videos? He’s pencily but also hardcore and also acknowledges effort needs to be high, and he’s also based in Florida.

This vid just gave me a massive mood boost! Thanks

[@Ojthemighty]

5:50 theres no perfect depth either. I can go pretty damn low but all that happens is my knees and lower back get destroyed, i keep it parallel or a little lower and its all quads. People have become so obsessed with range of motion that they have forgotten the point of the exercise in the first place, they just do the movement for the sake of the movement.
