This is one of the best fitness channels on RU-vid despite only having eight videos. Netflix or some big company should hire this guy to make documentaries.
Hybrid calisthenics got me into working out. I used to be super shy and timid(still kinda am) but when I saw a a gym I thought it would be meat heads who were assholes, but Hampton made me realize everything took time and patience. Once daddy Noel came into my feed, my whole perspective on fitness had changed. I might not be super ripped, but it’s all about consistency and perseverance .
Greg still doesn’t have a video about hybrid calisthenics. But Greg boy will not like him for sure, he is insecure to natural fitness youtubers just like Jeff nippard, alpha destiny and Geoffrey scholfield. He had feuds with those guys regarding muscle building. he even belittle those guys.
Honestly I’m so glad I started martial arts when I was a kid. I had a trainer who was also an emt and a physiotherapist so not only did I get the no-nonsense approach that is typical to a lot of martial arts, I had a guy who was able to tell us kids exactly what could happen if you did certain things wrong! Absolutely invaluable
@@stinks7065 Awesome. I'm going to be a physio student myself in 2025. My Sifu (wing chun) is an asset to the art. He teaches us functional fitness and self defense. Ego is the worst thing to have in the martial arts. Are you still training? What's your style?
@@jamiearnold1711 I did mooye taekwondo for a decade, brazilian jiu jitsu for 4ish? years and used to go to kickboxing for extra cardio once in a while but I’m currently in a weird limbo, just moved between two countries and wondering if I should just go back to my old club (my instructor switched clubs), go to a new taekwondo club or just start a new martial art. The last one is on my mind a lot because I do wonder if all the rotating movements of taekwondo might be too much for my previously injured knee. Hoping to find my way back to martial arts eventually though! It’s super cool that you’re gonna become a physio, I hope you’ll have a fruitful career :)
@@stinks7065 that's an impressive repertoire you've got there. As for your knee, depending on the nature of the injury, it might be worth dabbling in a different style. ITF TKD is good, but you'll need to modify your kicks if you feel any pain. Wing Chun is a soft style that is great for your joints and overall health. I started in Taekwondo. Boxing might be good for you, but careful how you pivot. Might be worth getting a knee brace too. Thank you :) I'm looking forward to it.
VERY important & well done video Josh! I especially agree the biggest issue w/ TikTok’s algorithm is that it shows people more of what they want to see & hear instead of what they NEED to see to actually help them. They get fed more of the clickbait nonsense advice as a result, which only gives those people who produce the nonsense advice even more views, which continues to make the problem worse over time. Not sure what we can do to combat this other than make sure everyone sees videos like this one, & also keep holding the bad actors accountable…..
Cheers Aaron! Yep I think: +Increased awareness +cross referencing advice +following more science based people +learning the fundamentals from credible sources +learning the relative importance of everthing Is how beginners could potentially avoid some of this poor advice. It's a tricky problem with the algo and everything, I guess raising awareness is the best immediate attempt of a solution from the creator side of things🤷♂️
@@brettjosh I agree that raising awareness is the best way to combat this. The biggest problem with that though, is for beginners, it can be very difficult (if not virtually impossible) for them to discern who is a valid & credible source of information vs. who is not. Human nature takes over, & most beginners will listen to whoever’s messaging speaks to them by telling them what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. That’s why all these “influencers” (like VShred) who promise quick fix solutions to weight loss, fitness, etc, are as successful as they are, while other channels & actual professionals that actually provide high quality info grow MUCH slower & don’t get remotely as many views, subs, & don’t make as much money selling their legitimate professional services. At some point there will need to be a way to hold people in the fitness & nutrition industries accountable for the information, products, & services they provide by fact checking them, or requiring at least some basic level of qualifications to be able to create & sell a product or service that potentially deals with someone’s health & wellness, or the cycle will only continue to get worse despite all of our best efforts. Maybe I care too much about helping people & always doing the right thing, but it really annoys me to see the bad actors consistently being rewarded for the misinformation they spread & then profit from, while the people hurt most are the consumers (namely the beginners who don’t know any better). While it’s the viewers’/consumers’ responsibility to do their own research before potentially buying into fitness or diet scams, I also know the reality is that just doesn’t happen most of the time. PS: Been wanting to get in touch with you, but can’t find you anywhere on social media. Feel free to shoot me a message on Instagram or send me an email when you get this as I’d love to connect & discuss a few ideas with you.
So glad I never downloaded TikTok. I got all my fitness advice off the old bodybuilding forums and r/powerlifting and it’s served me well over the years. Amazes me how easy it is for people to push products that capitalise on people’s laziness and inability to work for results. Nothing comes easy and if it sounds too good to be true , it is. I commend you for this video , it brilliantly highlights the blatant issues currently in the fitness industry and I hope people will watch this and realise that influencers will push any product for money.
@@MrMan-rl2ug People should just pay the 50-100 bucks and buy a plan from REAL PT not from scam influencer. In Finland really successful bodybuilder sells his old workout and nutrition plans for 30€
Jujimufu, and the guests he has on, are great strength athletes and personalities to follow ! Although some are certainly enhanced I don’t know how old you are, but when I started fitness I idolized and defended certain trainers, question your hero’s and learn as much as possible 💪💪
I swear, every time I see you've uploaded another video I get so excited to watch your content. Such eloquence, crisp editing skills, and artful presentation of information. Keep up the great work!!!
I love your deep dive investigative journalistic style. Thank you for raising awareness about this. There's so much lying going around social media it's horrible.
As a 13 year old I can say this is very true. I train seriously and am really happy with my great results to be just 13 but the improvements and my addiction of chasing an aesthetic physique are having a big influence on my friends, sometimes finding videos such as do this for six packs in 1 month and I try to explain to them that they need a good diet for abs if they wanted them and they can’t do a diet now because they’re growing and it would be stunting your growth if you didn’t eat enough but they don’t listen to me and sometimes skip lunch or do these abs exercises and I just feel bad for them. It’s a mistake that a lot of kids my age make because they want girls to chase them and be happy with their body’s without doing the actual research you need to make progress or wanting to put in any actual time and hard work. I was looking for a gym buddy but I just ended up making my friends feel bad about their body. To any kid my age reading this just the fact that you found this video means you’re probably on a good road but you have to remember that you always have to put in hard work and dedication in everything you do to see results.
Just wanted to express what I’m going through, it was more of a burst rather than a well made comment and you can see that from the spelling mistakes. No need to hate, if you don’t like something just skip it or go away
I'm 13 too, I haven't seen anyone else in my classes who do weightlifting or calisthenics, (most do football, basketball etc.) But when that time comes, I will raise as much awareness as possible. Hope you do the same fellow young king!
Man, your videos are just mesmerising. The quality of edits, quality of information and it's delivery, narration, positive notes and advice. Simply put... beautiful.
I think it's worth mentioning people need to be careful with basically any fitness (or frankly anything) information they get. Be it TikTok, YT, Instagram, Pro bodybuilders, guys at the gym even personal trainers (I paid a PT to show me some stuff once and a lot of the information he gave me was like twisted so it seemed different to make it seems like he was giving me some super special fitness secrets you wouldn't find anywhere else). Everywhere has quality information but with the vast amount of information out there more so than ever people need to learn to question everything. Never take anything anyone says as fact as almost everything is just peoples opinion and anyone can be wrong, learn from multiple sources and make your own conclusions and don't forget if anyone can be wrong you can to so if you see something that conflicts with what you believe be open enough changing your mind. One rule I've learnt is no matter the experience if someone can't explain or give any reason to something they've told you and instead end up getting defensive when you ask... They probably don't know what they're talking about.
What a great comment, I wholly agree!!! Sorry you had that experience with a trainer, but sadly that’s incredibly common. Just because someone got a training certification and works as a trainer at a gym doesn’t necessarily mean they are good at what they do, it doesn’t guarantee they operate with honesty & good business ethics, nor does it even necessarily make them knowledgeable or experienced. I’ve seen more unqualified and bad trainers than good ones over the years, and I partially blame the business model of most gyms for that, as one of their biggest sources of revenue is often their trainers, who they push to get as many training sessions in as possible each day. Gyms also want their trainers working with their clients as long as possible, which is why so many trainers don’t often actually just bark orders at them instead with little rhyme or reason behind the programming. Trainers at gyms are also usually paid a small fraction of what their clients pay the gym for their services, & many will resort to whatever tactics they can to attract new clients or to highlight how they know some “secret” training methods, etc…..which is often absolute nonsense theatrics like what you see on Instagram and TikTok that looks cool, but is less safe or effective than the tried and true exercises that look less “sexy”. In the end, a good trainer is someone who not only has the knowledge needed to construct a proper program for any of their clients, possesses empathy & the ability to really listen to their clients, and also is a good teacher in order to effectively communicate everything and actually teach their clients what they need to know for ongoing sustained success. The people who do that are sadly far and few between from what I’ve seen after 20 years in the business, which makes it difficult for the public to know who is a credible source or not, and it tarnished the industry as a whole.
Many of my past friendships, relationships and jobs ended soon after I said: "If you can't answer my questions, that proves you are lying." Also were not happy that I had detailed answers ready for all their questions.
@@kedabro1957 Yeah, I think it's because they feel attacked. Like your taking something someone believes they believe and rather than telling them they are wrong telling them they never believed it in the first place.
definitely agree. what i like to do regarding influencers is watch a lot of different stuff. that way i can better see what the consensus is and where the disagreements are. of course that's not guaranteed to be successful, but it helps a lot.
I’m obsessed with your channel to say the least. I’m a 30 year old millenial who grew up without social media, and I miss it. This is the sixth video of yours I’ve watched in a row. Keep up the good work and please continue spreading your wisdom 🤍
Fantastic video. Makes sense that someone who is deeply ashamed of their body does not want to hear that it will take YEARS to correct. "Fitness is not a seasonal hobby, it's a lifestyle."
I downloaded tiktok once, wasted an hour on it, and then deleted it. It frightened me how easy it was to waste time and knew I didn't need any more of that in my life
thank you so much for making these videos exposing corruption in the fitness industry, as a beginner it has helped me avoid making a lot of potentially destructive mistakes and not compare myself to other people, but now i'm super paranoid because i don't know who i can and cant trust lol.
I'm glad you gave Noel a positive outlook. This is why I love your channel it's always good and true. When I deleted Tik Tok my life got better and easier. 💗
I'm so happy that people like you are making content addressing these issues and possibly opening the eyes of many people! I can't stand all these "influencers" that only look for clout and are brainwashing so many young kids and possibly ruining their lives. Even if you don't realise it, you are making a difference and you 're helping alot of people, so please never stop doing this! Let's hope to see full documentaries from you on platforms like Netflix etc.
Excellent Video Josh! Love how you pointed out all the issues with TikTok Fitness. Unfortunately the algo shows people all the fancy BS which they don't NEED to see - instead of the legit stuff that people NEED to FOCUS on. And that's why I see teens wasting time in the gym.....messing around instead of doing the good stuff that works. We've all been there - however today the brain is being bombarded with all the Fitness BS! Stick to the basics dudes and dudettes! And again....awesome video Josh!
My favorite RU-vid channel ever. Bro you kill these videos on a different level. Mad respect for you keep up the grind. I love how you spread out your videos it makes me so excited when you post.
I'm not even into fitness and I find these videos very enjoyable to watch. The work you put into each one is incredible. You should expand and do more than just fitness doco's. Your tone of voice would go great with mystery videos.
Social media has a large eating disorder problem. They are found under they keywords "ana" or "pro ana" being an abbreviation for anorexia. If you ever find yourself spending time on such accounts, blogs or websites, stop and seek help from a therapist immediately! Love the kind of educational work you are doing on a topic that is talked about way too little, much respect!
Pro ana RU-vid and Twitter have f-ed me up so bad. It’s been around 2 years since I was a regular user and I’m doing better now but nothing is going to erase those urges to starve and the memorized calorie counts and the horrible body image. I’m 99.9999% sure that if I didn’t starve myself I would’ve gained less weight in the long run because of the binging that has plagued me since.
And to add to that... You cannot work toward a strong, healthy body while starving yourself! Instead try researching the kinds of foods that will benefit your body. Carbs, for example, are great for aerobic exercises, whereas the infamous protein is great for resistance workouts, get enough healthy fats in there too, fats (besides saturated fat) are good for your body, getting the right amount of the right things is key! Anorexia is hell to battle, but it all starts with the realization that it is not sustainable
@@hollycarpenter9828 To this day I still want to fast and eat very small meals but I make myself eat normally since I got in the "very underweight" section and my mother started to notice my ribs and that I was not eating certain food, I now have to go to the therapist and have to avoid things that trigger my ED, even months after it I still feel like I could just go back again anytime.
The amount of misconceptions in fitness mixed with short video formats, is an extremely dangerous cocktail for beginners who'll certainly never achieve their goals, sadly
You're doing great work, please keep it up. So much garbage out there, I fear for young people these days, their heads are being filled with misinformation about every faucet of life. People like you are helping to cut through the nonsense
Bro, I don't know how you do it but the fact that these videos are free while being so high quality with all the animations and research, it goes to show people are still making good content! Thank you very much!
im 15 i started training at home 6 months ago, now this is my first week of actually training at gym with a personal trainer, your vids are helping so much, i hope that i dont ever stop doing this so that when im 30 years old i can have a freat physique
Love this. This is why I was hesitant to start content on their but there are genuine people on TikTok like myself making a difference in peoples lifestyle 🙏🏾
I think this is why sports are so important so many people myself included fell in love with lifting/fitness through highschool sports. From that you look for reliable coaching and know shortcuts don’t exist
Great video! Have never found any useful fitness advice let alone ANYTHING useful on tiktok. Your videos are always worth the wait. Keep up the good work👍
I used to do ab exercises specifically at the end, but i just stopped because every exercise uses a good amount of core work anyways. Especially using kettlebells, clubs, and maces.
Just found your channel and absolutely love it. Love that you expose nonsense and bullshit like this. I can't even wrap my head around why people would even follow any of this advice.
Holy sh!t Josh. Your videos are so well made it blows my mind. This is a very important video, maybe the most important you have made so far and it need to be shared and viewed by as many as possible.
When Mr. Josh Brett puts up a video, you know it is full of quality and critical thinking 🤘 keep putting up the great info and putting forth the effort! I wish that false information could be better controlled and I'm glad that someone like you is speaking on this subject-matter. 1:08 Also, I love that you used a "Back to the Future" font 😃
7:03 Absolutely. If you want to *see* your abs for the aesthetics, a caloric deficit is the way to go, assuming you’re already somewhat regularly active and have an average amount of body fat. For most people, *getting* abs really means *reducing* stomach fat (making the abs more visible beneath the skin). This requires a caloric deficit (taking in less calories than you use in a given day) which induces general body fat loss.
There is no such thing as a "caloric deficit." If you decrease your intake, your metabolism will compensate. Look into the hormonal (insulin) model of weight loss. In short, cut carbs and start fasting. CICO is technically correct but doesn't work the way you think it does.
@@Charles.Wright The only way your metabolism can compensate is through reducing NEAT (non exercise activity thermogenesis), which does happen to some people but ultimately it just means you need to lower your caloric intake a bit more
I'm astounded at the quality of your videos, you've definitely got a talent for producing high quality + engaging content. It's just a matter of time before you blow up!
I recently found your channel and I gotta say all your videos are very high quality. I also love the messages your videos show anyway man keep up the great work!
This video is such high quality it’s insane. Both the information and the presentation are top notch. This video needs 10+ million likes not those TikTok videos.
I agree that people who are using tik tok don’t get to far in the bodybuilding industry because many people don’t research and find the importance to train their muscles equally and correctly. I used to be a skinny 6th grader who always got bullied and I was in a deep state of depression because I felt like I never had the strength to stand up for myself. I’ve put a serious time into researching across websites and platforms so I know what’s good and what’s bad. Now I’m an 8th grader and I’ve went from 89 pounds and put on 38 pounds and I’ve gained a lot of muscle and I finally was proud of myself and I could stand up for myself. I inspired my friends to start working out and other classmates not for the soul purpose to look intimidating but self care and confidence. I feel like many people are trying to find these little things to find a loophole to getting fit and healthier, but they don’t understand the courage and the time it takes to start working out. The results take time and they’re definitely worth it because anyone can be anything they want to be and it’s not too late.
This video and all of the others on your channel are incredible. You are a type of creative person and you can clearly see that you put heart into making these videos. You just don't say "Fitness infustry is bad learn from me" but you go much much further. Keep making these videos, I will watch every one of them (if you won't become a part of this terrible industry, but I am sure you are not this type of human trash). You are great.
I'd like to thank you for the content you're producing. I know how long it takes and how much effort you're putting in to this. Great video as always. Thanks brother.
11:17 So Tik Tok doesn't want "ugly" or poor people creating content on there app :/ thank god this didn't exist when I was younger - it seems like it could be detrimental for young peoples self-esteem
I'm hurt but not surprised to see Noel Deyzel given his popularity, but he doesn't flippantly throw out harmful advice from what I've seen, just advocating for one solid dude.
Just binge watched every video on this channel. Absolutely amazing work bro. Well researched, amazingly edited, very informative and interesting. Keep tackling the important topics man.
Great video!! It’s concerning that our young people are becoming the victims to this as well as many of our older folk. If we cannot make the world a better place I am concerned as to what our next generation will leave after things like this.
Apart from fitness videos, I honestly believe the short, quick delivery meme/ clip culture of social media is exclusively designed for behavioral conditioning - particularly to create shortened attention spans, lack of critical thinking and some sort of addictive need for useless information that serves as a subliminal gratification paradigm that will ultimate ruin an entire generation's ability to follow through or create.
This video is a masterpiece, big up from spain, here everyone spends loads of time scrolling through Tik Tok and Instagram reels it's painful to watch😅
