This is SUPER comprehensive and concise at the same time which is very helpful amidst all the confusion when it comes to the ‘fitness’ industry More power to you! 🙌🏼
Could you clarify your workout recommendations? If someone works out lower body twice a week should they keep the same core exercises for each lower session and just change one or two accessory exercises? For instance: - Lower 1: squat, RDL, split squat, hip thrust, leg extension (accessory) - Lower 2: squat, RDL, split squat, hip thrust, back extension (accessory) Or should they vary the core exercises in each session but still repeat weekly? Like this: - Lower 1: squat, RDL, split squat, hip thrust, leg extension (accessory) - Lower 2: hack squat, lunges, stiff leg deadlifts, goblet squat, back extension (accessory)
I have newly found your channel and like it very much. Since you have already mentioned here, maybe you can make a video on how to improve the coordination with exercices.
yes thank you very true, keep it focused just make sense. I was in the gym this morning just doing my basic barbell workout, person using the squat rack after me starts doing a circuit, with back squats, then immediately bulgarian split squat with no rest , and another dumbbell exercise. They're working out good for them, but what are they achieving? their squat ROM was really poor, basically partials, there's no logic to the circuit, to create training progress, no quality execution of the exercises. If they just fixed their squat and progressively overloaded it they'd get way better results. I already thought following a simple approach made sense and has helped me get stronger, your video had made me more convinced.
@@gianandreagiacoma It is! Especially when my first priority is R&D and the programs I’m building. Thanks for the support though. About the program, I’ll soon offer the second edition with much more content in it so you might want to wait until that.
I, too, found it frustrating entering the fitness industry after exercise science and finding it hard to balance effective training with enjoyment. Explaining this to clients was a delicate process too. And yes, the management. They hire these overly caffeinated sorority girls who are marketing majors to teach the newest group exercise certification and looked at me like I didn't get Fitness. 😑
The business side of it is more often disappointing I agree. I’m sure there are many professionals that are tired of this but I don’t see videos or content in general on this topic
@@YiannisChristoulas I know! I'm glad you made the vid. I favorited it in case I need a well done way to explain it to people in the future, I can just link them to your vid.
I just love your videos so much as they are super informative , i came to know you through your video "The science of stretching" and i want to ask that There are so many videos of stretching and flexibility routines on the internet I am overwhelmed with what to follow, like What is the "Squat, Bench, Deadlift, Pull up and Dips" of flexibility exercises?, does this big 5 of flexibility (pike, front ,side split, pancake, bridge) address the whole body? Or is there no fixed protocol for flexibility as such at all. Please reply. thank you.❤❤
Brilliant topic master Yiannis! I've been doing the same program for the past 3 months (mesos), but I've plateaud in one of the exercises, how would you troubleshoot when the adaptations don't seem to come through without changing exercises and later revisit the one you've plateaud on?
Goncalo my man! Glad you keep it up with training. Altering the intensity, volume and frequency are the first variables to look at. The next step is altering the mechanics angles, distances) of the same exercises. This means working on less or more range depending on the goal or heavier or lighter parts of the range. Altering your approach here in combination with a good recovery process ( sleep, nutrition etc) will pay off.
@@YiannisChristoulas My man yiannis! thank you so much for the response, this makes sense, for real! I've started doing specialization cycles with repeating the same exercise twice in the week, one day 6-8 reps, other 10-15 (all dependant on energy/recovery of the day). Thanks! Keep up the content, we need more of your videos!
Powerful arguments against the Crossfit/Functional-training approaches. Mixing strength training and skill training doesn't make much sense. Given that skill training is highly specific, it's surely better to strengthen your muscles with a focused strength regime and then apply that strength to the specific skill development you need.
Could you do some videos on most effective exercises for well everything: legs, arms, back, abs?:) It would be really interesting to watch:)

Thanks man! This video took a lot of time and I was wondering whether I should make a full analysis or not. I’m glad I get this feedback 🙏
Well Spoken! Hope the mainstream starts shifting ❤
Thank you! We’ll make it shift 💪
You offer solutions to many problems and its quite educational as well... bravo great job 👏🏻

How about a video on HIIT trainings? Through Kettlebell, bodyweight and halters

Great suggestion! It's on the list, to be honest. I was thinking of starting dynamic balance
Great video Giannare ! Agree 1000% thank you for sharing valuable knowledge
Anestara! Glad you enjoyed it brother!
Excellent!

Awesome content, once again.
What about changing exercise selection for different phases (hypertrophy vs strength) though?
Yiannis the quality of your videos is σούπερ! Do you develop the graphics by yourself or do you have a collaborator?
Thank you! It’s a one man show so far but I might have found someone now. I’m working on it. Do you have any suggestions?
Wow, what an effort! No, unfortunately I have no suggestions. I'm very intrigued by your course on doing the splits. Keep it up@@YiannisChristoulas

Ευχαριστώ πολύ Yiannis I will wait for the new version of the course 👍 @@YiannisChristoulas
Thank you so much! As always amazing analysis and explanation. Have a good day ❤
Thank you Ksenia! You too!
