The Downfall of Science Based Lifting…



Online Coaching:
Science-based lifting was supposed to make building muscle more effective and optimal but some people have taken things too far.
Today I’ll cover some of the strangest exercises and training methods coming from the science-based fitness community.

Something to note is, i’m actually all for using science to improve your training. Understanding biomechanics, exercise selection, progressive overload and muscle growth as a whole can make a massive difference.

But at what point does optimising your training become overcomplicating it and completely over the top.

We cover:
Whether these unorthodox exercises have more benefits.
The difference between effective training and unnecessary optimisation.
Why progressive overload still matters more than fancy exercises.
Whether science-based lifters are sometimes missing the bigger picture.
Why you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to build muscle 💪

  1. You dont even know what science based lifting is. Youre just showing people meme'ing. That guy doing the bracialis movement is doing bad form and too much. What's science based about that? Here's the thing about science based lifting, if it doesnt work or its too difficult, its not science based

  2. why youtube recommed this small amygdala stuff to me. there was a point in time where people were lifting stones and the people working the farm thought they were crazy, why would they do that? food for thought.

  3. Train hard, track progress, eat well and track the food consistently over a long period of time is where mostly all the benefit is.

    People that do that tend to have awesome results whether there science based or not.

  4. I am a member of a bodybuilding gym and this kind of thing doesn't happen. Coincidentally, Sam Sulek and Kai Greene are there now. I went to work out early this morning because I knew it would be a mad house when they arrived.

  5. This is mostly just children doing dumb shit, which honestly is pretty on brand-for the kids. I mean they might think its vaguely science based but its really just silly. I mean you never see Jeff Nippard doing this kinda stuff, its just goobers taking things too far lol

    There is a balance between science and bro science, you need to find a good middleground of the two.

  6. That wide shoulder position crucifixion move will eff up your shoulders though! I have bicep tendonitis verging on shoulder impingment and was doing wide grip back squats, found out how bad that is. Sooo…….

  7. Man we need those 80s construction worker/mechanic type of no bullshit and no filter dudes at every gym to just clown on everyone doing dumb shit.
