So we’re just going to ignore that premixed Jack Daniels? I feel very triggered right now.

I believe the ones above are actually malt beverages, but Jack has realeased canned cocktails that actually contain spirits.
That stuff is so far beyond me now.
Confession of sorts:
I only drank Jack once in my life. When I was 12 I found a fifth stashed in the woods where all. Of the older kids partied. I downed almost the whole thing myself, thinking it would be cool like the pictures of Motley Crüe at the time (1984).
But it was not cool, at all. It was a giant mess. And ever since then even just a whif of it makes me completely nauseated.

Joel Seedman is always good for a chuckle but but this Split Squat Overhead Press with a Russian Twist is God mode and had me actually laugh out loud:

There’s an injury waiting to happen.
I almost felt my back slip out of place by watching.
I was being polite and ignoring the labels of the entirety of the top shelf, haha.
I’m confused- ppl actually buy into this bs? I’m by no means knowledgeable about training, but that looks beyond ridiculous
Some ridiculous-looking exercises serve a specific purpose, because some coaches have a bunch of experience and a bunch of legit credentials and work with a bunch of athletes, so they’re focused on figuring out an effective, efficient tool for a given job instead of looking cool and hardcore sticking to the down 'n dirty basics, brah.

Confession: I had leftover nachos for breakfast yesterday. That’s how well my T-ransformation is going.

Eh, while it might work it doesn’t stop them making fools of themselves when they give nonsense pseudo-scientific reasons for ‘why’ their methods work and then, when called out by other research led academics and trainers (also with a bunch of experience and a bunch of credentials) asking for evidence / citations, try to evidence them by linking their own ‘articles’ and opinion pieces as said evidence.
Experience and credentials don’t put your ideas beyond question.

I’m not trying to say they do. I’m mainly trying to say that techniques looking weird may be good for a chuckle but certainly doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be used.
Some coaches can get jargony in their explanations/rationale or might appear to be unconventional for the sake of being unconventional (or, the other side of the same coin, unshakably stick to nothing but the absolute basics) but, end of the day, if they’re delivering the intended results, then they’re right and those on the sidelines are wrong.
With you until this part
If I train people with 5x5 because 25 is both Thor and Odin’s favourite number and they all get stronger it certainly doesn’t make me right. Results prove the method not the concept, and I don’t take umbrage with it until the concept is the part they’re trying to sell.

Didn’t look at the video–is it as goofy as Turkish Get-Ups?

It’s goofier imo
That exercise might work in very specific contexts with very elite athletes, but I’m neither so I’ll stick with my basic exercises
