I understand that a lot of people are going around trying to find free fitness and bodybuilding information. So they think it’s a good idea, to go to youtube to find all the free information and advice they give in there. That’s why the fitness community in youtube is getting so huge. Look, don’t get me wrong. Some of these guys do give out really good information. Their information can be good and spot on, but still you can’t trust any of them. Chances are, some of these guys could be selling something like supplemental products, merchandise, they’ll be asking for donations, etc. These guys claim they don’t make money, but you know they make money in some way like youtube advertisements and their “youtube partner” thing, which I’m sure a lot of them have.

This goes for all of them: Scooby, The Hodgetwins, Chris Jones & Physique of Greatness, Ian McCarthy, Lobliner, charliejames1975, Scott Herman, Lui Marco, and all those guys.

On top of all this, these guys seem to jerk themselves off with the popularity they get. That’s all it is, in my opinion. A popularity contest. They just want to be at the center of everyone’s attention. Just to promote themselves as a fitness person ’cause they  have a successful physique. It’s all ego with these people, and they seem pretty arrogant to me. Their fans & supporters are much worse.

I wouldn’t take advice from any of those people. I’m not bashing them, just being realistic here. I don’t watch much of their videos anymore but unless something grabs my attention I’ll check it out. Another thing that bothers me with these people is that they all have their own way of teachings things. They all seem to be opinionated on stuff.

If you need fitness information there are better ways of getting it than those guys in youtube. Get it from books like Arnold’s “Modern Bodybuilding” for example. Get information from experienced trainers at your local gym. Work with a professional trainer if you can afford it.

I taught myself fitness & bodybuilding. I learn by watching other people in the gym or have other experienced people teach me which I have done before. Arnold’s Bodybuilding book is where I learn it all from. There’s a guy I know in Greenwich, who do strong man stuff, and I’m thinking about having him train me so I can get big and strong like him. I still have a lot more work to do in bodybuilding and more to learn, but I’m getting there.

I know I said I will post progress pics soon but I’ll get around to it. I think I’ve gotten a little bigger than before, not sure, but I’ll let you be the judge soon.
