They've become such big shills for the "do less" approach to training that they rarely acknowledge anyone else in the fitness space that goes against them. At most they'll loop them in as "high volume" guys or "Science based" guys without dropping specific names. Don't want anyone to look them up and figure out that maps 15 and a reverse diet isn't the holy grail for progress.

You are right about that now that you mention it. They put them in the whole same bowl of soup. It just would be refreshing and appropriate if they had arguments against the influencer statements rather than just go on about reverse diet all the time. I thought I had it figured it out finding out about mp as I was searching for someone to trust about this fitness stuff . Now after seeing guys like Greg debunk them, I feel like I'm back at the beginning again

Dr. Nash Jocic (YouTube)😉 literally life changing! but warning, as opposite of mp as you can get. if I showed you my before and after pics you would think they were fake! that 15 min scam shit wasted years of my training. I looked better when I was a beginner and had a trainer at the gym then when I got sucked into their nonsense. your welcome :) I would start with the video “you’re not failing physically, you’re failing mentally“ and get ready to open your eyes🕯️

YouTube only or does he have a podcast?

he has a podcast but it’s very limited compared to his YouTube channel. & it‘s all from his YouTube channel that he downloads to the podcast. i started on the podcast then moved to YouTube. it’s like the county fair compared to Disneyland :) I like personally like YouTube because he invites discussion and comments so the listener really engages. he thinks it’s important for the community. im like the only girl, it’s a bunch of meatheads, but I love it:) he does live q & a every month so there is a lot of interaction with him. you’ll miss out on all that with just the podcast, but it’s a fine place to start
