The guy in this video is SUCH a tool!

Youāve met him? Was it at a seminar, or were you out to train with him or something?
For folks wondering why a routine like this ever came about, itās worth noting that āSquat-dip-chinā was a popular Ironmind program, which coincided with them selling their āVulcan rackā system, which was a set of squat stands that converted into dip bars and a chinning station.
I own a set of those stands, and they are really awesome btw.

No but Iāve watched a lot of his videos when I was a little younger!
Iām not saying I disagree with his information so much as he really just reiterates basic shit that anyone could google up in fifteen minutes, I really donāt understand why he has a big following.
IF you like informational youtube vids about bodybuilding, I HIGHLY recommend Ben Pakulski, he is an actual IFBB pro and his channel is called MI40!
He has a lot of GREAT info about training, and his tips about muscle contraction, muscle activation, shortening and lengthening muscles and other things to that effect have had a HUGE impact on my training! I really recommend his videos!
EDIT: sorry if I sounded harsh calling him a tool, I just donāt like him and donāt find his information very worthwhile!
Elliot isnāt a bodybuilding coach or a bodybuilder. You talk to Ben about strongman, he probably doesnāt know as much as Hulse. Think before you speak. Elliot is a smart ass dude with a TON of knowledge and has a massive following for a reason.
If anything youāre a tool for a calling him a tool, ya tool
Surely not enough data to be able to evaluate the qualities of a human, no?

Like I said in my last post, maybe I Was a bit hasty/harsh calling him a tool, I just donāt find that his information is very interesting or great at all, and I canāt stand his delivery in his videos!
I actually remember disagreeing with a lot of his philosophies, but again, I apologise for calling him a tool, that was a bit overboard, I just donāt find his videos worthwhile or very informational, especially compared to a lot of the other guys out there!
His recent transformation is weird I agree.
But all the workouts and tutorials about strength are amazing and spot on.
After all the talk of Elliot, please, everybody watch the question part of this. Shit had me rollin

Donāt know about his knowledge, some stuff I remember is solid, but he did go quite batshit crazy a couple times in his videos. His feud with Elgintensity was incredibly funny, like a modern day 80ās wrestling feud.
Kinda pointless imho to go through 5-10 minutes of ramblings just to get a small piece of useful info. There are guys like Alan Thrall and Candito who are much more straightforward and to the point.
Not fond of it for someone past a beginner phase in training. And I mean a rank beginner who can benefit from an unchanging routine for all three days per week of full body training with those exercise. If one were to tack on a lateral raise or overhead press, row, ab/core exercises, and a hip-hinge or deadlift variation somewhere in the weekly programming, then itās fine. But then again that takes away the whole attraction of just doing three exercises per week, whatever the frequency.
I believe lack of rowing, a vertical push or lateral raise, and a hip hinge exercise is a recipe for injury and one clunky looking physique. But like others said, one can do worse.
