Exercise Technique Tutorials for Multi Joint Lifts from Reliable Sources

There is a surprising amount of information on how to properly perform many weight lifting exercises, but many people are not even aware of that. Many people who would benefit from lifting weights don't start because they feel like they don't know what they're doing, and that feeling is intimidating. In addition to this, many people who currently work out perform exercises with improper form, which usually results in not getting the full benefit of the exercise, or can even result in getting injured. What many people don't know is that despite the amount of bad information on social media that gives people poor advice in an attempt to get clicks and ad revenue, there is a huge amount of good information that can give you a solid foundation to help you start training or improve your training. When you're looking at fitness claims on social media, you need to know how to decide what information seems reliable and what information is likely used to exploit people for financial gain. Usually, the good information will come from someone who has an education in the field such as a degree in Kinesiology or Exercise Physiology and an understanding of prior research that has been done and given support to their claims, or it will come from someone who is highly accomplished in the sport and has either performed as an athlete or coached at a high level. To help you get started or improve your abilities, I've compiled a list of videos from high-quality sources on the primary movements that are generally most beneficial to your health and performance.

The future of social media in health and wellness, and how to avoid being negatively affected by it.

 Since the introduction of social media, fitness and health professionals and influencers have been using it to reach potential customers and make money. Obviously, fitness and health professionals are offering a service, such as coaching, or trying to get you to buy a product, such as a health supplement, while influencers take the approach of gradually gaining your attention (as well as many other people's attention) until they have reached a point where they have an audience big enough to market other people's products (this can be advertising another company's clothing or supplement merchandise, or even just creating enough content on platforms such as youtube so that they can be paid directly through ad revenue from the platform).  This trend is actually not new or specific to social media. Prior to the influence of Instagram and Facebook in the early 2010s, there were shows in the 2000s, such as Dr. Oz, which marketed "too good to be true" supplements to des...

When fitness influencers make extravagant claims and it backfires

 Have you ever seen someone on Instagram, TikTok, or even a fitness magazine make absurd claims like "this one thing will change your life" or "this routine will make you look like (insert your favorite roided up or plastic surgery obsessed influencer here)"? Of course you have, because even back in the 2000s when all there were were health magazines and reality talk show hosts like Dr. Oz, this has been the selling pitch for claims that are usually too good to be true. The truth is that many times, buying a product or changing your daily routine with some radical intervention that has little to no scientific basis won't change anything for you. All it's going to do is waste your time and money. The truth is that real change for your health, appearance, and even how you feel daily, comes gradually over time from making positive changes such as working out 3-4 times per week, getting in 3 to 4 cardio sessions where your intensity might be low but the step cou...

Who I am and what this blog is about

 Hi, I'm Alex Young and I'm pursuing a Master's Degree in the Kinesiology department at CSU, Chico. My undergraduate degree was a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology, and I have research, coaching, and personal training experience. I also have 2 years of experience as an amateur powerlifter and am planning to return to competition this spring. I began much of my fitness journey by learning from what I had seen on social media, and over time learned that many of the practices we were seeing on social media were not reflective of the evidence-based information I was learning in school. During the 2010s (2010-2019), there was a large burst of information across the internet that helped provide information about weight lifting, sports science, and health practices to people across the world. Some of this information originated on forums such as t-nation and the old bodybuilding.com forums, and then those forums basically died as Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube grew. Unfo...
