# I Ranked Every YouTube FITNESS CHANNEL (Worst to Best)
# https://www.youtube.com/watch/iUmLoWQ7vU8

00:00:00.080 I've been in the YouTube Fitness game
00:00:02.159 for a decent while now and for even
00:00:04.120 longer than that I've been watching
00:00:05.799 YouTube Fitness in this video I'll be
00:00:08.480 ranking different Fitness channels in
00:00:10.719 terms of how good the information and
00:00:13.080 entertainment they provide is all so
00:00:15.360 that you can know which channels to
00:00:17.439 watch and which channels not to watch
00:00:23.359 enjoy welcome back Dr M wolf here PhD
00:00:26.679 and sports science ready to rank some
00:00:28.519 channels as much as possible I'll avoid
00:00:31.320 letting personal feelings play into this
00:00:33.600 and literally just rate based on what
00:00:35.399 I've seen of them and how good their
00:00:37.239 information tends to be let's get into
00:00:39.079 it first up we have Jeffrey vity
00:00:41.640 scoffield or scoffield or however you
00:00:44.120 say it I'm foreign I apologize honestly
00:00:46.520 from what I've seen his information is
00:00:48.199 at least decent now is it the most
00:00:50.640 science-based thing ever no that's not
00:00:52.680 what he claims to be but the information
00:00:54.480 is typically at least good enough to
00:00:56.120 have you make games additionally Jeffrey
00:00:58.199 is a funny dude so I got give him extra
00:01:00.879 points for that off the bat with there
00:01:03.600 being five TS I'm thinking b or a tail
00:01:07.439 let's put him in high B low a h let's go
00:01:10.799 low a let's start off quite generously
00:01:13.799 low a for jeffre very sculfield
00:01:15.520 scoffield whatever you call it next up
00:01:17.920 we have Jeremy Ethier now his
00:01:20.400 demographic from what I've seen like his
00:01:22.079 content and what have you they are not
00:01:24.040 really geared towards the same audience
00:01:25.880 I try to speak to I try to speak to
00:01:27.600 someone who's been training for at least
00:01:28.680 like a year also beginners but
00:01:30.200 predominantly people who have been
00:01:31.119 training for a l while Jeremy's content
00:01:33.159 from what I've seen is geared towards
00:01:35.079 more of a general population that's
00:01:36.960 trying to lose fat get into working out
00:01:39.159 and do so effectively but despite the
00:01:41.000 difference in who we're ultimately
00:01:42.640 speaking to I found the content I've
00:01:45.040 watched of jeremus to be pretty solid he
00:01:47.439 takes scientific findings and typically
00:01:49.439 makes them as easy to adjust as possible
00:01:51.520 with that being said I have seen some
00:01:53.119 older conflict of his around EMG that
00:01:56.119 wasn't ideal but from what I've seen
00:01:57.799 he's stopped doing that entirely so
00:01:59.920 overall minus the EMG stuff I've
00:02:02.360 honestly been really impressed so I'd
00:02:04.039 give Jeremy like a high a so without
00:02:07.039 further Ado into the high a Jeremy goes
00:02:10.919 next up we have natural hypertrophy
00:02:13.040 another one of the so-called Noble nates
00:02:15.319 now I don't know his actual name so I
00:02:17.120 keep referring to him as natural
00:02:18.440 hypertrophy his advice is usually pretty
00:02:20.519 okay it's not the most evidence-based
00:02:22.560 out there but it's usually pretty
00:02:24.280 reasonable it's not going to kill your
00:02:26.280 gains by any means I think if you were
00:02:28.400 to listen to him compared to the average
00:02:29.959 influencer you probably make slightly
00:02:31.959 better gains than average so I'm going
00:02:34.200 to go ahead and give him a low a high B
00:02:37.160 just for consistency sake I do think his
00:02:39.440 information is about on par with Jeffrey
00:02:41.400 R schoolfield but from what I've seen
00:02:43.440 Jeffrey does tend to pay attention to
00:02:45.040 the science a bit more so I'm going to
00:02:47.360 give him a high B tier and again I'm
00:02:49.840 trying not to pay attention that he's a
00:02:51.440 fellow Frenchman hit although I'm not
00:02:53.560 actually French and so I'll let you keep
00:02:55.720 guessing What ethnicity are enjoy next
00:02:58.519 up we have House of hyper hypertrophy I
00:03:00.760 know the order in which I'm racking
00:03:02.200 these people makes absolutely no sense
00:03:04.040 bear with me here House of hypertrophy
00:03:06.200 stuff from what I've seen is super good
00:03:07.879 it's typically well edited I like the
00:03:09.799 graphics I like the animations the
00:03:11.760 information is typically quite good as
00:03:13.040 well and he focuses very much on the
00:03:14.640 evidence-based side of things so overall
00:03:16.959 I like his content let's put him into
00:03:19.319 low s tier i i i f with his content
00:03:22.560 quite a bit I'll say next up we have
00:03:24.920 athlex now it is no secret that Mr Jeff
00:03:28.239 Cavalier and myself have had some dis
00:03:29.799 AGS in the past I've made some reaction
00:03:31.720 videos but what do I think of him
00:03:33.920 overall honestly I don't think he has a
00:03:36.239 great channel from what I've seen I've
00:03:38.040 seen some of his best exercise videos
00:03:40.599 I've seen a lot of his stuff over the
00:03:42.200 years recently he does appear to have
00:03:45.519 gotten better where I think he's
00:03:47.120 actually reading scientific papers his
00:03:49.280 videos are becoming a bit less
00:03:50.599 fearmonger potentially but until very
00:03:53.159 recently his channel was one of the ones
00:03:55.959 I would recommend the least to anyone
00:03:57.760 and that's not me trying to be
00:03:58.840 uncharitable that is genuinely how I
00:04:01.120 recommended him to people before that is
00:04:02.840 to say I didn't so for now I'm going to
00:04:04.799 put him into C tier I think he's gotten
00:04:06.720 better recently but until recently most
00:04:09.319 of his information was wrong in some
00:04:11.400 capacity and he tended to fearmonger a
00:04:13.200 lot around injuries so overall I'm not a
00:04:15.280 huge fan next up we have Brett contras
00:04:18.120 now this man is all about the ass it is
00:04:20.079 literally in name but overall dude I
00:04:23.120 think Brett has one of the most
00:04:24.240 underrated channels out there I think
00:04:26.840 you can tell he knows about sports signs
00:04:29.400 and the way he talks about findings in
00:04:31.120 fact I recently reacted to one of his
00:04:32.479 videos about range of motion and from
00:04:34.320 that alone I was very impressed I've had
00:04:36.039 conversations with Brett he's a smart
00:04:37.560 dude his content is very good it's a bit
00:04:40.440 sporadic from what I've seen he doesn't
00:04:42.360 schedule videos super consistently he
00:04:44.360 doesn't release them super consistently
00:04:46.560 and much of his content does tend to
00:04:48.680 revolve around glute hypertrophy but
00:04:51.120 equally much of what he speaks about is
00:04:52.960 generalizable so I think if you're not
00:04:54.680 already following Brett you probably
00:04:56.320 should another cool thing about Brett is
00:04:58.080 that he actually does science and so for
00:05:00.479 example recently he funded a study on
00:05:02.720 the squat versus the hip thrust and for
00:05:04.440 that reason I'm going to put him into s
00:05:06.520 tier next up we have Greg ducet now he's
00:05:10.240 fallen from Grace a little bit from what
00:05:11.800 I can tell on YouTube and he's gone
00:05:13.320 through a lot of drama with different
00:05:14.560 creators and interestingly for those who
00:05:16.240 didn't know Greg duett actually has a
00:05:18.199 masters in sports science and as a
00:05:20.000 result most of his advice is at least
00:05:22.240 reasonable now do I think all his ideas
00:05:23.960 are spot on like main ging no not
00:05:26.199 necessarily and sometimes the way he
00:05:28.000 expresses certain Concepts can come
00:05:30.120 across as being overly confident for
00:05:32.280 instance the whole train harder than
00:05:34.039 last time as much as became a meme that
00:05:36.840 isn't really good advice should you
00:05:38.520 progressively overload and add weight
00:05:40.080 and or reps week to week absolutely but
00:05:42.360 what about today let's say you've never
00:05:44.039 trained before how hard should you be
00:05:45.479 training if I've been training with 10
00:05:47.160 reps in the tank for the past few years
00:05:48.919 it doesn't tell you a lot about exactly
00:05:50.840 how close to failure you should train
00:05:52.360 and additionally I don't think I've seen
00:05:53.960 Greg site much research or talk in very
00:05:56.600 scientific terms for a good well so
00:05:58.440 overall Greg do set he's okay he's not
00:06:01.800 my favorite by any means but he is okay
00:06:03.560 so I'm going to put Greg to set in High
00:06:05.800 beat here all right next up we have Dr
00:06:08.280 pack the fat bald man who keeps coming
00:06:10.400 to the studio and using it as his own
00:06:12.560 now I am biased on this cuz he is a
00:06:15.000 friend and lover question mark but
00:06:17.240 trying to put all my bias aside I think
00:06:19.639 his videos are solid I think they're a
00:06:21.520 good middle ground between just casual
00:06:24.520 off the cuff talking to you presenting
00:06:26.479 some science but also being sufficiently
00:06:29.160 evidence spased to tell you what matters
00:06:31.280 and what doesn't really matter and for
00:06:32.599 someone who's just trying to make gains
00:06:34.280 I think his channel is a wholehearted
00:06:36.120 endorsement his channel is kind of like
00:06:37.720 mine if I was a lot more funny so I
00:06:40.160 would say go check it out and for that
00:06:41.520 exact reason I'm going to put him in
00:06:44.680 midest tier into mid s tier he goes next
00:06:47.599 up we have Alex Leonidas AKA Alpha
00:06:50.319 Destiny as it used to be called I think
00:06:52.759 he's one of those cases where recently
00:06:54.880 like the content I've seen come out from
00:06:56.160 him over the past 2 3 years has really
00:06:58.879 gone up and quality substantially
00:07:00.720 whether it's the quality of the actual
00:07:02.039 video whether it's the quality of the
00:07:03.800 information being presented it's gone up
00:07:05.759 quite a bit overall back in the day I
00:07:07.639 used to think his channel was a bit more
00:07:09.120 average in terms of the information
00:07:10.599 being delivered but nowadays he's
00:07:12.240 definitely above average once again is
00:07:13.919 he the most evidence-based person out
00:07:15.879 there no and in fact I think he's part
00:07:17.400 of the noble Natty crew or whatever they
00:07:20.000 call it but generally his information's
00:07:22.280 pretty on point although there is
00:07:23.960 sometimes some fluff so all things
00:07:25.919 considered I'm going to put him into
00:07:27.520 high B tier next up we have Ryan human
00:07:30.520 now I've reacted to Ryan twice at this
00:07:32.800 point and both times I haven't been too
00:07:35.199 impressed Ryan is still in that era of
00:07:37.680 Big Time YouTube influencer where you're
00:07:39.680 relying upon AMG as it means to make a
00:07:42.080 lot of content and a lot of the big time
00:07:43.720 YouTubers qu quot have gone through this
00:07:45.879 era the difference is Ryan in 2024 is
00:07:49.520 still doing this even though this has
00:07:50.960 been called into question by basically
00:07:54.159 every reputable evidence-based
00:07:55.759 practitioner out there and there's
00:07:56.919 literature to back that up as well
00:07:58.479 similarly the the way he expresses
00:08:00.680 whether one ex SL is better than the
00:08:02.120 other in videos tends to be very black
00:08:04.319 and white and so because athle in X is
00:08:06.840 at least improving and I think Ryan I'm
00:08:09.960 not sure if he is I haven't actually
00:08:11.280 watched any of his older content I'm
00:08:13.280 going to put him into CER along with
00:08:15.000 apple X just because I don't think I've
00:08:17.759 seen him improve very much next up we
00:08:19.919 have meno hand I think meno is generally
00:08:23.199 pretty solid he's evidence-based he
00:08:25.560 definitely reads his papers one of the
00:08:28.120 issues I take is that his stand can
00:08:30.159 sometimes be a bit oblique essentially I
00:08:32.719 think that because his background isn't
00:08:34.080 so much in sports science or in
00:08:35.559 physiology or what have you sometimes
00:08:37.640 this takes on certain topic like the p
00:08:39.958 ratio debate around whether or not you
00:08:42.039 need to be lean in the first place to
00:08:44.519 make lean gains his stances on certain
00:08:47.320 topics tend to be a bit obscure and I
00:08:49.640 think that maybe has to do with the fact
00:08:50.880 that he doesn't have as much of a
00:08:52.200 background in physiology or Sports
00:08:53.800 Science overall and he's essentially
00:08:55.640 just reading a lot of papers trying to
00:08:58.560 understand them as best as he can can
00:08:59.720 and to his credit most of the time he is
00:09:01.760 bang on and you will be hard pressed to
00:09:04.160 find someone with more knowledge of the
00:09:05.920 literature that's coming out than him
00:09:07.640 but sometimes his interpretation can be
00:09:09.320 a bit sketchy I would say and so I'm
00:09:10.920 going to put meno into sort of high a
00:09:12.920 tier solid information by and large
00:09:15.079 sometimes a bit oblique next up we've
00:09:16.800 got Rick delti AKA boobs
00:09:20.160 AKA Eric bugenhagen I guess the most
00:09:22.880 sickening succulent specimen on this
00:09:24.920 planet if you're looking for information
00:09:26.800 I wouldn't recommend Eric as my first
00:09:28.399 choice but if you're going for
00:09:29.920 entertainment I would recommend him
00:09:31.600 highly and even his information it's
00:09:33.640 around average it's not terrible and so
00:09:35.760 all that considered I'm going to put him
00:09:37.480 as a low s tier for sickening succulent
00:09:40.959 specimen and in fact we might do a
00:09:42.760 collaboration down the road if you're
00:09:44.440 interested in that leave a comment down
00:09:46.079 below next up we have straw by Signs Now
00:09:49.079 I may or may not be contractually
00:09:50.839 obligated to say this because my own
00:09:52.720 company may or may not be working with
00:09:54.560 their company in delivering content and
00:09:57.200 so forth but I think their information
00:09:59.160 is topnotch I think if you're willing to
00:10:01.200 spend some time to sink your teeth into
00:10:03.279 what science there truly is on a topic
00:10:05.240 Strong by science is probably the
00:10:07.440 greatest in the industry for over 10
00:10:09.240 years now from what I can recall cuz I
00:10:10.800 was reading them when I first got into
00:10:12.320 lifting even they've been providing
00:10:13.800 super in-depth information on lifting
00:10:16.120 from a scientific perspective in fact if
00:10:18.120 you remember when they were called
00:10:19.440 strength Theory leave a comment down
00:10:21.000 below that's how I know you're an OG but
00:10:22.800 honestly and once again I'm biased
00:10:24.240 because I am literally on their Channel
00:10:25.680 I think their information is top- Notch
00:10:27.360 so I'm going to put them into midest
00:10:29.079 here not highest tier simply because I
00:10:31.640 don't want to be accused of playing
00:10:33.519 favorites but all that to say I think
00:10:35.000 their information is incredible and you
00:10:37.000 should go check them out next up we have
00:10:38.639 Mike Isel or in fact Dr Mike isrel my
00:10:41.320 stance on Mike is that he's an absolute
00:10:43.279 beast at putting out YouTube videos
00:10:44.720 consistently and he's very knowledgeable
00:10:46.480 he keeps up to date with the existing
00:10:48.200 evidence that's coming out reasonably
00:10:50.240 well and I think he gives out solid
00:10:51.639 advice my only gripe with Mike isrel is
00:10:54.480 that sometimes he and I differ in how
00:10:57.200 speculative we're willing to be in the
00:10:59.320 recommendations we give for instance
00:11:01.000 Mike really likes to rely upon soreness
00:11:03.040 and the pump and other experiential
00:11:05.160 variables as a means to individualize
00:11:06.720 training for me for example I'm not yet
00:11:09.120 willing to make that recommendation and
00:11:10.920 sometimes speaking as a fellow content
00:11:12.800 creator it can be difficult to
00:11:14.079 communicate when I'm saying something
00:11:16.120 that is actually evidence-based versus
00:11:18.320 when I'm saying something that is
00:11:20.240 speculative or that is merely based on
00:11:22.200 my coaching experience or what have you
00:11:24.240 but all that considered I think Mike is
00:11:26.399 incredible so I'm going to put him into
00:11:27.920 high a tier all right next next up we
00:11:29.839 have Eric Helms again Dr Eric Helms Eric
00:11:33.160 Helms is kind of The Godfather of
00:11:36.440 evidence-based Fitness it feels like
00:11:38.120 he's been around for a while he's been
00:11:39.480 doing the damn thing for a while he's
00:11:40.880 been putting out good information for a
00:11:42.360 while in fact one of the first books I
00:11:44.160 ever read about Fitness were the muscle
00:11:47.000 and strength Pyramids by him and they're
00:11:49.480 incredible resources for anyone who's
00:11:51.399 just starting out a fitness and trying
00:11:53.320 to get a rough idea of what the
00:11:55.040 landscape is like what you should be
00:11:56.600 doing training and nutrition wise and
00:11:58.440 Eric is still doing research to this day
00:12:00.279 he's someone who's got many eggs and
00:12:01.680 many baskets he's doing a lot of things
00:12:03.079 at once he's really pushing the field
00:12:04.519 forward so for that alone I need to put
00:12:06.680 him in like highest year essentially
00:12:09.920 next up we have Lane Norton and again Dr
00:12:12.800 Lane Norton why does everyone have a PhD
00:12:14.880 now Lane Norton much like Dr Eric alums
00:12:16.880 and Dr Mike Isel has been around for a
00:12:19.279 long time and he's been doing the damn
00:12:21.279 thing for a long time and he's been
00:12:22.600 super successful and from what I've seen
00:12:24.360 the information he puts out is very
00:12:26.120 solid and more importantly he helps
00:12:28.440 teach people how to think about evidence
00:12:31.240 for instance he'll consistently call out
00:12:32.880 people about their claims based often on
00:12:35.800 animal data or mechanistic data as
00:12:37.880 opposed to real world human randomized
00:12:40.680 control data on the outcomes that we
00:12:42.279 actually care about and in doing so he's
00:12:43.959 often teaching you about how hey this
00:12:46.560 study is going to be more beneficial in
00:12:48.240 terms of informing our understanding of
00:12:49.920 things than this one and so all that
00:12:51.839 considered I'm going to put Lane Norton
00:12:53.560 into like a low s tier he is solid all
00:12:56.600 right only sweey go Sean n
00:12:59.680 I believe is his name if I'm
00:13:01.160 mispronouncing it I apologize Sean I
00:13:03.720 think your content is solid he reminds
00:13:05.440 me of Jeremy e in some ways in terms of
00:13:07.920 speaking to more of a general population
00:13:09.839 but while keeping things simple but
00:13:11.839 slightly less evidence-based and
00:13:13.600 focusing a bit more on certain specific
00:13:16.079 questions like bulking versus
00:13:17.880 maintaining essentially questions about
00:13:19.880 lifting that are very very generalizable
00:13:23.040 so I think he speaks to sort of like the
00:13:25.000 new to intermediate lifter the most and
00:13:27.639 usually his opinions are pretty good so
00:13:30.040 I would put him in a similar sort of
00:13:31.320 bracket as jerem e here maybe just
00:13:33.040 slightly lower on account of being a
00:13:35.399 little bit less evidence-based next up
00:13:37.600 we have Jeff nippert I've collaborated
00:13:40.000 with Jeff before I think his channel is
00:13:42.880 potentially the gold standard for single
00:13:45.320 videos he doesn't release videos often
00:13:47.000 but when he does they're always super
00:13:48.720 solid and he's one of the sources of
00:13:50.600 information I've recommended to
00:13:52.279 beginners and P mediates the most over
00:13:54.680 the years I think his information is
00:13:56.480 always good like many influencers of top
00:13:58.759 he went through a slight Rocky patch
00:14:00.279 when he was speaking about EMG and he
00:14:01.880 will have the occasional take that is
00:14:03.399 wrong but like 99% of the time he is
00:14:06.480 right and he works on videos very
00:14:08.240 carefully before releasing them he
00:14:10.079 really tries to vet his information and
00:14:11.759 make sure it's correct so I would put
00:14:13.519 Jeff in the sort of like mid s tier and
00:14:15.920 finally we have Legends of the fitness
00:14:18.199 game the Del re Misfits no explanation
00:14:20.880 required so that is my final ran team
00:14:23.600 I've got a lot of people in s here CU I
00:14:25.560 think their information is very solid or
00:14:27.600 they're very good entertainment I've got
00:14:29.600 some people in a TI and I think their
00:14:31.000 information is typically very good and
00:14:32.639 I've got some people in B and C tier and
00:14:34.920 honestly looking at this tier list I
00:14:36.759 think it makes sense but what do you
00:14:38.399 think do you think I was too harsh on
00:14:40.120 someone too nice on someone leave a
