I use it as a quick reference when I’m at the gym and having doubts about my form.

What resources do you use?

    I like this one - Israetel isn’t always my favorite, but he does strike me as extremely knowledgeable and with a sincere commitment to avoid the flood of pseudoscience that is the plague of the industry.

    Be aware - this link isn’t just the form cues, but if you follow each muscle group link, within each sub-article is a table with links to zero-fluff 30 second YouTube videos demonstrating form for a huge number of exercises. Cool shit.

      I agree with you about Dr. Mike, he’s great but I think switching to full-time YouTube and content creation has lead to him putting out more filler and click bait and shilling. His app looks cool but pretty overpriced imo

        Yeah, I don’t begrudge him for it really, he’s just playing the game, same as anyone else who tries to make money from YouTube. Can’t really be done in a way that isn’t obnoxious. And to be honest, I may never have realized the wealth of knowledge he has and shares, without his YouTube presence, so I mean. I’m part of the problem lol.

        And yeah, $25/month is just way too much for an app for me, I can repeatedly injure myself for free, thank you very much. All jokes aside though I’d imagine it’s pretty quality, he seems like a serious dude.
