What are some of your unpopular fitness related opinions?

To answer your question, yes, when it comes to something like sprints you still need the warm up prior to the activity.

Whatever you do the rest of the week is fine, but it’s not a substitute for raising your muscle and core temperature and prepping tissues before the higher intensity work of the day.

If it was I would just do my yoga/mobility work throughout the week and then be able to jump straight into BJJ rounds, or straight into prowler sprints. Obviously not the case though.

These pictures just seem to be an exercise in showing people having 'leaned out', very rarely do you see one where there's evidence of significant muscle gain. But they can still be impressive within that parameter I guess.

With regard to looking happy in them, I wonder is it just the Irish psyche, we're not that comfortable in our own skins...

It's clickbait and it's incredibly brief, I normally expect more substance, even out of my clickbait.

When you perform an overhead tricep extension with the elbows tucked in to the front of the body, I gather that for anatomical reasons it's not efficient for force production as if the arms are let abduct slightly out into the scapular plane, and work from there.

When he says "de triceps don't do dis, dey do dat", I think it's possible that this is what he is trying to say, in his unintentionally comical way. Considering he advances no real argument or explanation it's hard to know.

However, I have done overhead tricep extensions both ways and to be honest it doesn't matter that much.

Out of curiosity I googled his bio. This is from his site:-

"HI,

this is where you normally find an endless list of accomplishments and titles, I l will keep it short (google can tell you EVERYTHING about me in 15 milliseconds) , I came to the US on a swimming scholarship, competed in World Cups etc, made the Hall of Fame of my alma mater in 2012, won a lot of stuff, So I am obviously insanely qualified.

Since then,I established myself as a respected fitness and nutrition expert within the industry and in NYC while winning the Musclemania championship twice.

I even wrote books, shocker I know! And contribute to Muscle and Fitness, Crains, Muscle and Strength

But here is the bigger question: What can I do for you?

Simple. Think of fitness as lego blocks, I am the guy that teaches you to build whatever (body) you want via science. No gimmicks, no hype , just results!

I give you all the tools you needed will be with you every step of the way, you just got to bring the motivation. You in?"

Normally if someone was an olympian it does make me give them a lot more kudos on a personal level. Can't actually see any evidence he went to the olympics or came close to it, although the claim is repeated on several pages. If I was at an olympics at any point I think I would have tattooed it on my head, and I'd certainly have said which olympics on my bio?
