this guy will teach you to get jacked!

- de emphasises the barbell bench as a main exercise even though it uses all the muscle in the upper body

- teaches dogshit injury causing squat form

- tells young men to get fat in order to squat a lot

- is not strong and does not coach anyone who is strong

- says cardio is useless and dangerous, says the reverse hyper causes injuries.

- inspired the meme that 1rm strength is the only way to be fit, ignoring conditioning.

literally the only thing I can say positive about him is that he got people who aren't powerlifters to squat heavy for general health. and he didn't even do that, plenty of 5x5 programs including the squat existed already.
