Some may even say the other way around but truly, who cares? Now that we got that out of the way, Certain aspects of training is different for everybody. If you took 100 people in a group and put them through the same regimen, the same exercises, the same order, the same amount of time and the same rep and set scheme, what would happen? Will they all have the same exact results? No, some may have very few changes while others have exceptional results.
Expecting people to have the same results or better yet, think they can follow the same protocols or they're a loser and didn't do it right is a downfall for any influencer or fitness author. It's really about adaptability, finding ways to be challenged yet still have the enthusiasm to continue their journey. Remember that show The Biggest Loser? Where they took people who were morbidly obese and put them on programs that were meant for people on a near elite level of professionals? Sure they lost weight, a bunch actually but what happened was the aftermath. Many of them had complications and even gained back not just all the weight but added on. How that show lasted as long as it did boggles the fuck out of me.
We all have our own journey, our own lives and our own ways of juggling things in order to better ourselves. Some don't always make it through and other others can do things they never imagined being able to do. Some "influencers" are so desperate and dogmatic about their perfect programs that they forget how to be human to other people. They act like leaders of a cult that their way is the only way and if you're not a part of it, you're the problem and it's your fault for being a part of this perfect world of fitness. It's all bullshit.
There are programs that people aren't meant to do and not because of the program itself, mainly some don't have the time, the level it requires and at times they're injured and can't make the prerequisites. It's not the end of the world. Hell, there are those out there who expect others to drink 10 liters of water a day because it'll make them better health wise. Do the math on this for a moment...Do you know how many liters are in a gallon alone? Round it out to the closest denominator and it's about 4. Now tell people to more than double that and you're getting from a poundage stand point 22+ lbs for the equivalent of 10 liters. Regardless of weight, regardless of age or health factors, that's dangerous in and of itself and might as well be telling people to poison themselves or they're losers. Pretty pathetic. That's the type of person that expects others to do their programs that they're not ready for and have to be this extreme all the time or they are considered F*ggots. On a given day unless it's hot out, I mostly never go past a gallon and that's pushing it LOL.
Real influencers like Matt Schifferle for example, take a program and have it be adaptable and do what's possible for just about anyone. Very little of his training protocols go past basic or even intermediate levels but that's not the point. The point is, if it's just basic exercises, you're learning to control and utilize technique so you can develop the results you're looking for. Is his style the end all be all? Hell no, he'd tell you that himself and treats others with respect and dignity, not belittling and talked down down to.
What certain things boil down to when it comes to Marketing scammers like WaterBOY above here (emphasis on the word boy) is how to manipulate and find the gullibility in others to fill their pockets with broken promises, verbal and emotional abuse (sometimes they'll act like your friend and then stab you in the back) along with believing their own hype. There are other factors but with some of the things I've seen, it's not hard to believe that guys like that are the type that would give you all the reasons to have you buying a Rolls Royce when in reality you get a POS Lemon that looks more like a loaner out of a shitstorm of a shop.
No program in and of itself is perfect for everybody. We all know that, well maybe most of us while some people think theirs is the Queen Of England or Shiva for that matter. What it comes down to is the individual who wants to find something worthwhile that they'll find a way to put the time in, the effort and evolve in their journey. We have all sorts of information at our fingertips, but it can be overwhelming at times and it's important to find the differences between the genuine article and the asshole scammers. The asshole scammers have tactics that can be convincing they're genuine but digging in, they always slip up, some don't even hide it anymore and have this anger, this rage and need to be the best when in reality they're fooling themselves and make up the most outrageous claims that bare no actual evidence, VERY one sided and even copy and pate other people's work and pass it off as their own. Let me put it this way, I treat people like this like Voldermort, he who must not be named.
Guys like Schifferle, Brooks Kubik, Darryl Edwards, Logan Christopher and Eero Westerburg have done the research, they don't beat around the bush and they'll tell you like it is. I've been around one of these guys and trained with him on many occasions and what you see is what you get. The genuine article and a person of humility and generosity but still have the heart of a lion and the strength of beyond the average person. Either one of these guys will bring it with a vengeance but yet have a positive influence that's memorable and full of hope that someone has a real soul for this world.
Be amazingly awesome and find the program suited to your journey and watch out for those scammers. Some of them don't even know how to treat a woman let alone know how to help people in fitness, most of the time, they just steal other people's money and are full of hot air. Remember, you think you're getting a RR but end up with a Lemon. You deserve better.
