I hate that whole side of the fitness community.
There was a guy on YouTube giving OK workout advice that just started giving more and more incel life advice. Haven't seen a video from him in over 10 years now because of it.
I stopped watching lifting videos on YT for all the douche incel shit and that came with it.
Of the guys I used to watch as a teenager getting into lifting, the one guy went full incel with his advice while his wife was full tradwife, then later on he went to claim marriage is slavery AND that women keep initiating divorce. Hmmmm. Doesn't sound like an abusive relationship at all, eh..
Then there were the twins who'd give you workout advice, but always followed it up with "Do whatever the FUCK you wanna do", to signify that there's no one 100% correct way to do things. They then later created their third YouTube channel, "ConservativeTwins". I'd say the only political opinion of their that I agree with is their hatred of Israel, buuuuuut.... They only hate Israel because they hate Jews. Yes, they went that kind of conservative.
Needless to say, I haven't watched any lifting related videos since I was 18 or 19. Instead, every few years when I find myself in the gym again, I do my own thing, which is mostly 3x5, compound lifts. And maybe 3x8 of some isolation exercises if I want my needlessly large guns to become rocket launchers or feel like having tree trunks for thighs isn't enough or something. Or basically: I feel like I'm so big, there's no point in doing anything for muscle mass, I just want to be stronger.
