Yes, but it was also the wrong conclusion from the meta-analysis, @jeffnippard. The figure shows the slope of RIR and muscle size, but not low RIR (1-2) vs. no RIR on muscle size... If you look at the data points for 1-2 RIR, they actually seem higher (on average) than the 0 RIR group, suggesting that low RIR might actually be better, or more likely, that low vs. no RIR are not significantly different from each other in their relation to muscle size. Nevertheless, I love how much you integrate science content, so I've just subscribed.

As a content creator, I feel that your opinion on filming in the gym is incredibly biased. As someone who doesn't make a living off of content creation, I find it extremely bothersome when I see people with tripods set up recording (especially with mirrors around). Regular gym goers shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable working out because they might end up on someone else's Instagram. While you mention that it's fine as long as "you're not bothering anyone", many people are already uncomfortable that you are recording and may not want to cause a bigger scene by asking you to stop or by engaging gym staff. Just because you aren't approached to stop or to record somewhere else, doesn't mean you aren't bothering people.

I think the primary reason I dislike filming or even snapping pictures in the gym is that unless you’re alone you’re inevitably posting people who may be feeling vulnerable for the world to see. It’s easy to brush it off with the bro answer of “just ignore the negativity” when we’re already making progress, or already look good but honestly, a huge reason a lot of people who really need the gym avoid it is that they’ve been put down and mocked their entire life. Exposure therapy doesn’t work for everyone, we already know this, and to me enabling a space people may be afraid to be in to begin with become the breeding ground for further mockery even if they’re just in the background is selfish. “High end gyms” might be more okay with it, as I’d expect only the super dedicated body builders etc are in there, but commercial gyms are supposed to be where people get started and if they have a provable reason to avoid going in at all, we’ve failed them.

[@Riptyphoon]

Love the part 4:19, when Dr. Mike says "no one read the study," and Jeff just smiles and laughs. Instead of editing out this moment or changing his answer, Jeff chose to leave this bit behind.

The problem I have with filming in the gym is the time it takes for people doing it to set up their shots. The in between checking of the shots. The retakes they do if not getting the perfect shot.

In a commercial gym, with limited equipment, it's bad etiquette to camp out on that equipment because you think you're the next IG or TikTok fitness phenom.

The culture of people making fun of others just trying to workout and mind their own business, or complaining that someone walked through their shot like they own the place. 2. The people filming think they have the right to monopolise equipment for ages. Playing on their phones more than lifting. 3. It's indicative of the "look at me" generation, who are desperate for attention and are just plain irritating.

90% of people filming themselves, myself included, are rewatching those videos to check their form. This is especially true in powerlifting circles, where people will even send videos to coaches who have multiple clients and are not present for every lift. I personally haven't ever come across someone who is filming themselves for a purpose other than recording a PR, tracking progress, or checking form. You may as well get angry at groups of friends and families who take group photos with people in the background at public attractions and tourist sites.

[@davidvreugdenhil4557]

@@CopperScott Clearly you don't use a lot of tiktok or instagram because they are filled with people getting mocked by strangers who are filming them. I have seen this a lot on social media. Obviously not every one does this and every statement should have some nuance. I have no way of knowing how many people are actually training and how many are making social media content but judging by how much social media content i see of influencers i think that this something that happens quite often. Furthermore you should also consider that some gyms are different then other gyms. So this may not happen in your gym but more in other gyms.

[@Fatazz]

A gym is not a public space. It's a shared space. As gym filmers, that should be a primary consideration. A membership is being paid. With that membership comes a reasonable amount of expectations. Being in the same gym doesn't give free access to someone else's image or likeness. Filming also doesn't give you permission to hog equipment or block walkways.

[@TextbookCommittee]

Being filmed in the gym is not the same as just existing in public spaces. Someone just seeing me in public won’t have a record of me to then share with as many people as they like. The number of videos being uploaded to TikTok where assholes film other people and accuse them of creeping, or just mock them… it almost makes me never want to go again. So maybe it’s great if you’re already super jacked, but as a beginner and old lady, letting people film me in the gym, even incidentally, feels horrifying.

Of course it's a take you'd expect from youtubers who make a living from filming in the gym. But I agree. For the average person, I'd say it's fine to record yourself if you can keep others out of your shot, but otherwise it's just rude and not respectful to everyone else.

[@mrdavisdance]

I actually see the value in natty or not videos. When I was a teenager, I used to lift with a guy in his 30s. We would do the same workouts together but he would see great results, and I would typically get injured, or so sore that I couldn't recover in just a week. I've been an athlete since I was little, and I was a 6'2 180 pound teen. I really though I had bad genetics until he revealed that he was on juice the whole time. I had body image issues for years after that, it's good for people to know what is and isn't possible without drugs. A lot of people, especially young people, think you can outwork someone on steroids and even the playing field, when in reality you literally can't "outwork" someone on steroids, the whole point of the drug is it makes you recover quicker

[@zoranvujovic998]

Isn't that more an attitude problem than if some random person is natty or not? You could have easily ran into somebody with great genes that would achieve much better results than you using the same routine. The guy from your story not being natty is just random chance. I started going to the gym for the first time in my life a year ago (at the age of 38), and pretty much everybody at that gym is doing better than me. But, I'm better than myself a month ago. And way much better than myself a year ago. Always there at the same time, 6 days a week. And that's enough for me. Also, I'm a bit old to have body image issues lol. You do you man, forget about other people. Most of them are not worth the attention anyways lol

@@zoranvujovic998 No lol you're not even close to being right. Good genetics and gear are two different things.

"If there's a tripod in your way, just walk around it!" - I highly disagree and I feel like it's highly disrespectful to people who just want to work out without having to walk around someone else's video equipment. Sometimes gyms are already hard enough to navigate during busier periods and telling us to just deal with it in terms of people filming in the gym really doesn't really show consideration for others. Furthermore, many gyms have implemented a strict "no filming" policy due to numerous issues (and now, liability) for the very reasons they're stating.

Best advice: don't try to be perfect. This allowed me to train almost consistently since i was 14 or something and now I'm 30.

Loved everything except the filming commentary from Dr Mike in particular. Existing in public absolutely does not warrant being recorded and socials are not the same as a public place because A. They aren't anonymous and B. The public is a regulated environment by law and order, standard social behaviours and accountability due to the lack of anonymity. In fact, I'd argue the opposite. The filmer is 100% responsible for respecting those existing in public and not assuming their preferences on privacy. It is certainly not a universal opinion that people like being filmed and are simply okay with it. Unfortunately for those who want to film in a closed space like a gym (closed as a private gym does not equate to a public mall, so no, it is not entirely "public"), think its the "content creators" responsibility to get the consent of those around them. Or at least warn people and then act accordingly based off that. I think the problem with today's social media problems is they have been wild and unregulated since it all started. Its time people stop pretending it's ok and everyone feels the same way about something that is hugely subjective. Filming doesnt stop at filming, that's the problem. The issue people have is these recordings almost certainly end up on socials. That's when issues crop up. And with that, I reckon people wanting to maintain their own privacy regarding their face recorded and distributed, and thus their opinion on being filmed or not, is confirmed by the fact that people choose to have private profiles.

It sure as hell is at 49, sad to say! I've plenty of injuries that happened by a crappy bit of form, and pain warnings or actual breakage from that is much more noticeable now I'm well into my 40s. Yes, sure, whether or not locking the knees will get me is a different question! I'm defo more careful about knees after a nasty meniscus tear last year *from stepping around a puddle* (FML). Seriously, getting old sucks. But It's awesome to *keep training hard-out anyway*. Even with good form and intentions, people do get injured anyway of course, I just see the frequency go up with age (and that would seem very medically understandable). As it happens, the reason I'm watching this video right now is because I'm sitting here at home with an adductor tear from yesterday's split squats (in the second set after warmup that happened with no warning that I felt and form that I *think* was OK?)... So yeah. If you exercise with bad form, that increased chance of injury seems to be amplified by age. But in fairness, even doing it *right* can cause things to break at any age. Caution is warranted.

@@jeremyhinze8837 Spoken like a true Dyel. Mirrors won't help you check your back when you're deadlifting and squatting. They won't help you when you bench press either. What's it to you that I film myself? Why are you so obsessed with what I do?

[@jeremyhinze8837]

@@Pedro_Le_Chef what the hell can't you see in a mirror when you bench press? I can see myself fine in the mirror. Do you honestly need to check form constantly? Once you get the lift the form never changes, it's literally the same thing every single time. I am certainly not obsessed with what you do, I don't even know who you are. I am just letting you know it's an asshat move, that's all. How would everyone in a gym know you are only using the footage personally? People have been using mirrors in the gym for form, as the reason they are there for 60 years with no problem, you aren't special.

[@David-sk2kz]

@@jeremyhinze8837 Have you tried to do deadlifts/squats/power cleans, etc and look at the mirror mid-rep? It will mess up your form and a lot of the time there are no mirrors in those areas of the gym

I bloody love these videos. It’s so great seeing these collabs and it is such a great way of enhancing the knowledge and confidence of the audience when it comes to lifting, nutrition, generally positive healthy lifestyle habits

I have really enjoyed every collaboration between you two so far. Also, Dr. Mike really digging in (and your reaction) when you called him to update his view on taking sets to failure was hilarious.

[@3.14name]

Actually calling him to give him a chance to update it s such a respectful choice

One problem I have with a lot of people filming at my gym is... They will take the time to set up and tear down their camera, but leave their weights on the bar for the next person to take off.

I personally like cold showers. But these gentlemen educated me on not doing so within 3-6 hours of training. So I do exactly that.

Just do it in the morning before the gym instead.

Hello Mr. Nippard, I'm an 18 year old who started your powerbuilding program and BOY DID I GET THOSE RESULTS! My squat and deadlift both went up by 30kgs and my bench went up by 17.5kgs and I finally hit 107.5kg (passed the 100kg barrier) in bench. These improvements were all in 10 weeks! Thanks for creating such a good program, and I'm running phase 2 right now. Will compete in 2024, all credits go to you! Thanks and much love.

Why are teenagers so obsessed with PRs?

[@orchid_parthiv]

@@VernCrisler This is because if you are 'obsessed' for PRs, you have a clear goal to work towards, as opposed to mindlessly swinging the weights in the gym. There's a difference between 'exercising' and 'training' and I go to the gym for the latter. Secondly, I am also training to be a powerlifter and start competing from 2024, hence it is all the more important I set goals in forms of PRs and work towards them in a specified timeline.

Mind muscle connection is very important these days because so many people are dramatically out of shape and therefore they need to establish activation before moving into building.

Being out in public is implicitly giving consent to be filmed is the only really weird take here. As if I had a choice. If reality is becoming shittier, I guess we should just avoid reality and... cease to exist?

[@teknoreaper9232]

There's no right to privacy in a public space. You may not have given consent but it doesn't really matter cause you are not in a private place that you have any stake in the rules of. If the gym disallows filming its another thing entirely, but if the gym doesn't have any rules against filming than how can you get upset that people are using that space for something that is perfectly well allowed, and often encouraged. Imagine someone taking a video of a run outside and you get caught in it, there's always that chance and that's just something you gotta deal with because filming in public isn't against the law and when filming in a public space it is expected and reasonable to get random people caught in the frame of the video. not really something avoidable these days.

[@rugdeeplearn7420]

@@teknoreaper9232 here in Italy we have a slightly different privacy set of laws by which everybody can take pictures or footage of you in a public space (it is public), but he/she needs your written consent to share it publicly (e.g. on youtube or instagram). Without your written consent he/she must blur your face. If you think about it, it makes sense: everybody is free to film, and everybody is free to not appear on youtube, at the same time. It's not that big deal to blur out the faces.

Always admire the editing in your videos and the fact that you do them yourself Jeff. Love the collabs with Mike!

[@snacking5908]

Basically, he’s saying if you want to workout but don’t want to be on social media, then get a home gym. Cause everyone can do that now, I guess 😒 I don’t post myself on social media. I don’t think other people should be able to post me without my consent

[@juice3859]

When you get into being a “science based” or “health influencer” u surpass just pure muscle building or body building ideologies. There’s inherent health benefits to things like cold showers or training to failure, just as there are inherent negatives to mass filming in a gym. They’re the well informed ones so I’m not trying to argue much of this, but it’s a disservice to the fans to say cold showers or plunges aren’t beneficial and filming in gyms is just part of life

[@chieftimberwolf]

I really like these “overrated/underrated” videos. I’m 44 and been working out since high school. Played college football, so I’ve been exposed to many different exercises and movements. But, I find these videos extremely useful. Can you do something like this on typical gym form techniques? Like not touching your chest on bench, range of motion on preacher curls or using a long bar for lateral raises.

[@stevefromchicago8277]

I love the in-editing call and Mike saying “yes even MORE overrated” for training to failure 😂

7:55 I recently finished a class in neurobiology and we learned about aspartame’s damaging affects to the neurons in the arcuate nucleus which controls satiety. It was my impression that aspartame consumption lead to increased satiety which would cause someone to crave more food, thus taking away the benefit of the diet soda. If there is a meta analysis proving that wrong I’d love to see it if someone could provide it.

[@LastSifu]

I’ve been lifting for 20 years and have seen people seriously injure their knees by locking them out on leg press, more than once. Going nearly to full extension will still get you results and prevent injury. As for filming in the gym, it’s fine if kids want to do that, but don’t you dare get annoyed with people moving in and out of your shot to get to the equipment they need to use. It’s not your recording studio, it’s everyone’s gym.

[@RIVALContentJammerz]

Yeah, I can't believe they said locking out is okay. They're both REALLY short, though.

[@TNJVidz]

Locking out is safe for the average person who doesn't have any knee injuries/issues, and is lifting a weight they can safely handle with proper form. Majority of the time people get injured locking out is because they fail to adhere to one of those categories at least.

[@NoSc0pe78yearsago]

Yeah my dumbass went to the gym a few times as a teen, tried leg press and someone told me to not lock my legs i can see why now

There's a difference between going out in public, and sending your photo to every institution on the planet to be entered into facial recognition databases and sold for profit.

They say "fitness" advice but discuss the topics purely from a hypertrophy standpoint. When talking about "overall fitness" I think they were quick to dismiss nofap and cold showers, because they talk only about hypertrophy. If these things make you feel more confident, relaxed, productive, etc. keep doing them kings
