[@Yupppi]

Having watched a couple of medical doctor videos, apparently you could be greatly shocked in just a week of surgeries where you get to see people's insides after you've first learned from a book what things should be there, where things should be there and where should they attach to. Turns out we're a messy bunch and anatomy books show greatly peeled clean pictures.

Don't think I understand either. I thought it was already known for a long time that the short head crosses both the shoulder and elbow joint.

@@Yupppi They’ve been studying anatomy for hundreds of years at least. Almost everything that can be known about anatomy is known so it’s surprising if there’s literally anything as significant as where the bicep attaches that wasn’t already known.

The problem is that there are ill-informed people who see Ryan so convinced of what he believes that they start to believe it too. All Ryan does is take it out of context and beg for more views. Thank you Dr. Milo for bringing light where others only make darkness!

[@382u3uuej]

I can see people taking Ryan seriously if they barely know anything about lifting, people who know about lifting also know that EMG is worthless, and people who have been using a 2 second pause at the bottom of a movement where you are stretching under tension know that it messes you up more, him comparing doing a weighted stretch in each rep to doing one set of stretching for 10 minutes is just ridiculous lmao, unfortunately things that are aimed at the lowest common denominator are always more popular and this applies to fitness content too, hopefully when his audience becomes more acquainted with lifting they will move on to more serious content (which is something that happens in most things too). IMO one of the reasons why his video has 1.5 million views is that noobs (we all were at one point) think that the exercise being used is the most important thing, and that's because they don't know the principles of hypertrophy.

[@Flahtort]

Agree. You couldnt really blame audience of his who only starting their journey. We all start somewhere and try (not all try, but some) to do what we can to understand things we doing. So naturally we strive for some sort of surface level available knowledge and then go deeper and deeper, only later realise that some knowledge we received before was wrong.

[@ngatihonky]

You should watch the series he did with the emg . His approach starts changing quite a bit as he progresses through muscle groups. Hes obviously just having fun with his training and likes to experiment alot. Thanks for the point of view though.

TBH the preacher curl does feel different from the behind the back cable curls, so there must be some regional hypertrophy difference since both heads of the biceps cross the shoulder joint.

[@mikejensen1473]

I’m old. Training since 1980. Added the high cable curl - had never trained biceps like that before. It was amazing. Now I get it’s anecdotal. Might not work for everyone with equal results.

Most of his (Ryan's) videos are pretty much in this format...clickbaity BS with hilariously bad understanding of actual science...

[@rinkuhero]

one easy counter-example to EMG is this: if you do pull-ups, you know what has the most EMG activation? not the lats, not the biceps, but the abs. are pull-ups an ab exercise? according to EMG, they are primarily an ab exercise, not for the lats or biceps.

[@382u3uuej]

Lmao that's such bullshit, silly me doing candlesticks for abs instead of pull ups :( Edit: Another funny thing is that I googled this and the first result was a reddit post, and all the soyfilled redditors are agreeing with each other in group think fashion that yes, actually the most important muscle when doing pull ups is the abs! In fact their abs get tremendously sore during pull ups! Look at all this anecdotical evidence that agrees with it! I don't know if they are just stupid or because they are redditors they don't want to contradict the "science", I hate forums related to exercise, they are populated by people that don't know anything lmao.

[@gipen]

But they do a lot for abs indeed

[@rinkuhero]

@@gipen yeah they work the abs isometrically, as a support muscle, same way the deadlift works the upper back as a support muscle, but to say the pull-up is an ab exercise is like saying the deadlift is an upper back exercise

Ryan’s editing style is fucking exhausting. I remember watching that video a year ago and thinking this dude is the so far into the weeds with the emg stuff I can’t take it seriously.

[@austinmartin8550]

I used to work in a cardiac rehab facility where we had access to a surface EMG machine. Our head, PhD kinesiologist was always encouraging us to use it, for pilot data to see which muscles got more activation… Not necessarily saying that that would make them hypertrophy, but just for fun or at least an arrow to look in that direction. I was always looking up Universal acceptance for placement, and I found a little bit of variability. Does the ACM? NSCA? Is there any group that has diagrams of where precisely to put the surface EMG’s? given that the brachialis is a deep muscle, how on earth is he measuring that with surface EMG, or is he sure that he is measuring that specifically… But where is the best practice booklet on placement for surface EMG’s on muscles?

[@YeshuaDavidson]

Even science contradicts itself most of the time. U get one study today that says something and another study that says the opposite the next day. So just go to the gym and train whatever you want, eat healthy and sleep well and voila.

[@NotUrGuru]

lol Ryan’s videos are about humor and exploration in fitness. He regularly updates videos correcting previous notions he thought was correct or may lead somewhere as he learns more. In reality it’s all entertainment, and a way for those with tons of experience and who get bored with old accepted methods to switch it up try something different. Im 34 and I’ve been lifting weights since I was 13. In the 20+ years I’ve been into fitness the amount of shit that went from “Gospel to Garbage” and from “Bro Science” to “yeah that actually has merit” is staggering 😂😂😂.

i do worry about exercise scientist. The studies rarely are replicated and not even that the control mechanisms are not even that good. Not only that when we do see statisically significant results, they dont even make signficant % gains...I realised this first when reading studies on muscle and calorie burn. I hear this all the time. More muscle, more calorie burn i.e MBR is higher. Then i read the studies. 1pound of muscle burns 5 -10 more calories per day. Which is nothing. That means if i put on 10 more pounds of muscle on, which is alot, 6-7kg, i only burn 50 more - 100 more calories a day. thats nothing!!!

[@382u3uuej]

lol you clearly don't understand science or logic, you can't make conclusion just based on one study, but if you take 20 studies on the same topic and they all point on the same direction then it's more likely than not that the conclusion is right(given that other conditions are met too, such as the study being of good quality), probability and logic is hard I know.

"It wasn't until I found this study that I finally understood" and then he explained how he didn't understand. I think the take home from that video is that science is hard, there's a reason why it takes years to study to start practicing how to do science. Because when average joe decides to do science, they usually aren't doing science, they're just doing modern magic and practicing religion.

[@elijahturnbull]

There is one critic I have with this video and that was i would have liked for you to talk about whether or not the exercises that he recommended was good are not but all you just spoke about was about emg and not really about the other stuff in the video. Like i do understand and get that what you are doing is correcting the misconception that people may get when watching that video and they may think that emg is a good thing to use to tell which exercise is best for muscle growth when in reality its not at all. I can tell that you are very passionate in what you do since you were so focused on correcting the bunch of misinformation that was in the video but i would have also liked for you to also tell if you thought that the exercises that the guy recommended in the video was good or not since you are reviewing a video about what the best exercises are for the biceps but you never once said weather the exercises recommend were good or not you were just focused on the emg parts. Just because the method that the person used in the video is wrong doesn’t necessarily mean that the solution or the conclusion that he came to is bad. yes, emg is a terrible way to tell what exercise is the best but that doesn’t necessarily mean the exercises that he recommends is bad. for example i remember watching this video by jeremy Ethier and in the video he tested like 16 exercises for the chest to see which one is the best and in that video he used emg for his testing and emg is a terrible metric to use but his end results ended up recommending some pretty good chest exercises like incline dumbbell chest press and seated cable flys.SO like i said the method may be wrong but that doesn’t necessarily always mean the solution is a bad one. SO like i tested out the exercises that was recommended by the guy that you were reviewing and the exercises that he recommends doesn’t seem that bad at all they all seem like pretty good exercises to me like that concentration curl where he change his wrist position to target more of the brachialis like i tried it and i really do feel my brachialis working alot more that the other bicep parts yes the other bicep parts are also working but for me i felt the brachialis abit more which was shocking and i tried the rest of his recommendation and they seem like some nice biceps exercises to me. SO in conclusion i would have like to hear your thoughts on what you think about these exercises because i believe that when you are reviewing a video about which exercises are the best for a certain muscle group that in your review should state whether or not the exercises that was recommended was good or not which in this video you didn’t really state that since you were just so focused on the emg part which i don’t mind since you are correcting misinformation but i would have just liked if you added your thoughts on whether or not you think the exercises that was recommended is good or not even though emg was used.

[@BonytoBeastly]

@@Flahtort No judgement on my end, just an observation. People obviously like those jokes. Humiston and Israetel are both incredibly successful on KZbin.

I just find it ironic we have all these videos of shirtless men and ppl will only comment on it once it’s a female presented in a certain way

I think you were a bit harsh. Maybe his methods are not the best but I don't think anything he's doing is "bad faith" and I'm sure he would appreciate some constructive feedback and suggestions on improving his methods. No need to villanize the guy.

Respectfully, did you watch all the way through? Dr. Wolf gives props to Ryan Humiston's larger body of content towards the end. No vilifying here.

Contreras has long advocated not dismissing EMG as worthless, while acknowledging its limitations, and continues to do EMG testing because he sees some value in it. So there's certainly no universal consensus on the usefulness of EMG data, there are people for and against it. And in the past, as linked in this video's description, in a series of articles at T-Nation, Contreras did the same thing as Humiston, measuring himself with EMG and making exercise recommendations/conclusions based on that, with data from only one person. I see Humiston as a guy taking the same approach that an accomplished expert (Contreras) did back in his DIY days. There are people for whom "science" is about authority and dismissiveness, and there are those who are open-minded and want to take in as much data as possible to help make decisions, even if the source of that data is imperfect. DIY science is distasteful to those who look to authority, but real ones with a lust for knowledge may find it interesting. Humiston is alright. I don't think he did anything bad here. And I'm starting to like some of his other videos. Part of graduating from KZbin fitness is realising that maybe some of these popular, often villainized, guys aren't so bad.

Never heard of Ryan before this video, glad I know now to not watch anything from him. His video style as well as passive aggressiveness and douche-baggery vibe are so off putting.

Hey doc, are you from Molenbeek? One might say you look like it.......
