I didn't even know the word Natty until I watched this video.
I'm just going to come right out and say it.
I am pissed off and disgusted with the YouTube fitness community.
YouTube fitness used to be a welcoming place where people came to learn proper
exercise techniques and get the tips to help them gain that extra edge on their
training. But now it seems like unless we're tearing each other to shreds,
nobody seems to give a shit about anything else. We talk about fake weights.
We talk about fake natties
and now we can't even acknowledge a transformation from someone who worked
extremely hard for the past six months and is proud of his
gains. And then your gains that are very achievable naturally.
So many of you seem to have this sickness,
apparently that affects your ability to recognize how to work because the
majority of influencers making fitness, YouTube videos,
lie about their results to sell their programs and gain views. Well,
let me just tell you guys something you're not going to look peel and shred it
all year round naturally, and have incredible strength as well.
Just because you have one cheat meal a year and for the rest of the 364
days of the year,
you measure out your macros with scales and test tubes or whatever the hell
you've convinced yourselves up to make that possible.
YouTube fitness needs a damn reset button, and I'm about to push it right now,
because at this point I just don't care. I don't care anymore.
I want to keep making videos that help people.
That's what my channel started in today.
I'm going to help my boy Turner Tenney out,
also known as professional athlete in Fortnite sensation TFUE
So here's,
what's going on for those of you living under a rock Turner recently posted a
photo on Instagram of his six month transformation and everyone's panties
dropped so hard that their pride must have taken a huge hit as well because the
vultures were out for blood.
This can't possibly be natural who will get those fat shoulders.
Look how lean he is. Look at those abs and traps.
Only six months easily, a steroid transformation.
What's the old saying guys, a picture says a thousand words. Remember that?
Well, let's see exactly what this photo has to say from the men who took it.
I'm not even that big, like that picture makes me look a lot bigger than I am.
Like if you see me next to Gronk, bro, like, you'll be like,
I look like a baby dude.
Take it straight from TFUE guys. I'm not even that big.
That picture makes me look a lot bigger than I am out of all the influences in
the world.
I would think that fitness influencers would understand this the most good
lighting, the best angles, having a pump.
These are all tools we all use to make ourselves look incredible in our
photos. And some people use Photoshop, but that's a whole other story.
So if I was going to pose a transformation, pick on my Instagram,
I would do the same thing. Also that photo on the left, it's not from January.
It's actually from July 10th, 2019, and TFUE even admits this.
He says he tried to find a photo of himself looking as frail as he could.
Honestly like that picture of me on the left is like the frailest picture.
I could find.
TFUE posts gaming content.
I doubt he takes a lot of photos of himself with no shirt on.
Even the caption to this IG post was rare
picture of me outside my room, but let's look at the transformation photo again.
What exactly is not natural here?
He looks like a dude with a slightly above average amount of muscle with a sick
pump and good lighting. His shoulders are not capped.
They clearly dip down in the back. His traps are not popping.
It's just the angle of the flex. How do I know?
Cause I did the same thing before I got my traps bigger. It's what you do.
And look at his chest.
The arm in the back is pulled forward to make the entire chest look more
full it's common tactics when taking a fitness photo,
not convinced. Well then let's look at some recent training footage from TFUE's,
IG stories. Look at him doing hanging windmills.
What looks so unnatural about his physique here? I mean,
he looks great obviously, but not unnatural.
We already know he has a past of being super active and doing backflips off of
bridges and mountains and seeing him be able to do this is not surprising.
Then we have him here squatting 315 pounds for a few reps and his form isn't too
bad either. He still needs to go a tiny bit lower in my opinion,
but he doesn't have a trainer right now.
And it's still going a lot lower than most people squatting 315 at my gym.
So good job dude. And I really liked the next story too.
I just want to inspire people to stay healthy and strong.
Amazing message bro. And then the last story has him doing a leg
extensive machine, not going to lie, guys. I have an amazing home gym,
but I wish I had a leg extension. But look here,
he looks good pump and lean, nothing screams unnatural.
So then why all the controversy? Well,
I chalk it up to very poor research by my fellow fitness channels and also the
very misleading video clickbait thumbnail put out by Faze Jasper
We already established the photo on the left is not from six months ago or
January if we're being specific, it's from July of 2019, but,
and this is where it gets kind of tricky.
Cause I'm going to have to make some assumptions here. All right,
I am 99.9999999% sure that TFUE was
underweight in the photo in July.
I was definitely underweight and didn't start training until January it's most
likely that he looked very similar when he started his training.
Now in TFUE's response video, he said something very interesting.
He showed a photo on his phone from August 4th of 2016
and said he was about 175 pounds.
And this was before he started gaming seriously.
This is April 4th 2016. This is like before I started gaming, I was like,
actually like athletic right there, in 2016,
I probably weighed like 175 maybe. But like even though you're right there,
I was at like the skinniest of, I had ever been.
Look at the photo guys. He definitely looks stronger here.
He looks a bit more full. His abs are more defined. And if TFUE is 22 years old,
now that means in this photo, he was about 18 years old.
I wish I knew how tall he was though, but it's possible.
He was a bit shorter than he is now. Puberty starts at 16.
It can last anywhere from like two to five years for dudes. So,
but those details don't even really matter.
What matters is that at 18 years old,
before the hours and hours and hours,
a day of gaming sitting in a chair right in front of the screen, playing games,
TFUE had already hit at least 175 pounds lean,
which means that when he started training in January,
he was clearly underweight and not even close to reaching his
nuclei domain limit for his size. I was definitely underweight
In fact, I'm willing to bet his weight jumped from 170 pounds to
185 pounds. For that very reason. Remember guys,
even if your muscles shrink the nuclei, don't leave.
We talk about this all the time in my nuclei overload videos.
So chances are now once he started eating correctly and feeding his muscles and
exercising,
his normal weight probably shot up to like 177 to 180
pounds because remember guys he's six, two, okay.
And then he continued to train and he most likely only gained probably like six
to eight pounds of actual muscle in those six months,
which isn't impossible when tapping into those newbie gains.
Remember our boy has never trained before his body is detrained
and sensitive to muscle damage but Faze's
video robbed me the wrong way for multiple reasons,
not just the thumbnail image with 170 pounds to 185 pounds text at
the top. If the transformation was made from January to March, like Faze says,
but the video was created May 8th.
I have a hard time believing the photo on the right side of the thumbnail was
from March.
It looks more recent and that it was taken specifically for the thumbnail
because he's pointing up at the weight.
So I'm going to speculate here and guess that Faze asked TFUE for the image and
also asked him how much he currently ways,
which means those gains were not from January to March when they were training
together,
but actually from January to may and also guys 170 pounds to
185 pounds, those are like some very clear numbers, right?
What if it was more like 172 pounds to 184 pounds or something like
that?
I wouldn't put it past the trainer to round up or down to make himself look
better.
But regardless of all that Faze put TFUE on a push pull legs program
from January to March now, overall,
it's a very basic program, but even if basic,
that's still hitting everything at least twice a week and his newbie body is
going to eat up all them newbie gains because of it.
It's definitely better than the bro split garbage that I did when I was 22 years
old. And if I got amazing gains from that,
a push pull legs program should be even better for obvious reasons.
But as he explains the program,
there were a few parts that really kind of caught my ear.
Now Turner told me he really wants to drain chest and want to get his chest big
up. So that's why we put three chest exercises in.
Turner told me he wants a huge chest.
So that's why we put three chest exercises in as if that makes so much sense,
right? It's almost like he doesn't have an explanation for the three exercises.
So he just kind of bullshitted through it.
A muscle can only take so much damage in one lifting session guys.
So adding more exercises is not the solution to growing more. If anything,
I would have increases sets on the barbell bench and focused on overloading and
volume there because you get a lot more bang for your buck out of a bench press
than you do when it comes to a cable fly. But anyways, let's move on at 11:01.
He says this.
He made some crazy bad gains and we'll show you guys right now on the screen.
He made some crazy crazy gains.
So basically he uses a very misleading image to show Turner's back growth as
well. I mean, yeah, of course there are gains,
but his back is pinched a lot more on the right photo.
Lighting is better and he is much closer on screen.
So that gives the illusion of insane growth. Then at 11:10,
we get another random explanation for exercise selection.
A low row, which is pretty much a seated row. Just really awesome.
A dumbbell row to get some variation in.
Low row and then dumbbell low row
to gets variation in, why? It's the same movement pattern.
And then again at 11:20.
And then two exercises, easy, some bar bell, some cable. Again,
I want to get some variation in these exercises so you can learn about them and
see what he likes and what he doesn't like. They're going to be good. Anyways,
if you do them correctly, they're going to be great. No matter what you do,
dumbbell barbell cable, they're all great exercises, but you know,
some variation is fun. You know.
In this clip you can tell he's unsure of himself,
which is why the word vomit comes right out after he shows the two bicep
exercises, just like with the rows his explanation is some variation.
Why your arms are still moving in the same movement pattern.
If you want variation then hit barbell curls for a few weeks and then switch the
cable curls. If it was a bro split then fine
that's normal to have multiple exercises like this,
but this is a push pull legs program.
So you don't need variations of the same movements. It's a waste of time.
And there were a few other things that rubbed me the wrong way as well.
But my point is that if there was anything misleading about Turner's
transformation,
it's because of the Faze Jasper video and thumbnail was misleading.
Also I get the impression that he's acting like he was a lot more involved with
his transformation than he really was,
but what's the real point of all this, right?
Why do I even care about making this video?
Well it's because I think that Turner deserves better from the fitness
community. What I found appalling was because he made a response video, right?
Because he responded to the accusations of being on steroids.
He's clearly guilty. So basically in year 2020,
people can talk shit. But as soon as you defend yourself,
you're guilty automatically to be innocent. You just need to shut your mouth,
bend over and take it well noted. Well, I don't agree with that guys.
And what I saw in that response video from Turner was a dude who just didn't
understand where the hate was coming from.
I even know the word Natty until I watched this video.
Natty or not like natural or not, right.
He posted that transformation photo because he was proud of his gains and
everyone was happy for him except the drama channels on YouTube because
controversy of a big name means more views right now.
I'm not a professional gamer guys, but I have been a gamer my entire life.
I've got the sick set up DXRacer chair greenscreen,
and I tend to get at least four to eight dirty headshots on every game of call
of duty war zone that I play. Even when I was a kid, I played Ocarina of Time
so much that I could beat it in under eight hours,
I'm what you call a grinder. I grind shit out.
Remember 007 for Nintendo 64? I'd beat every single time trial.
It wasn't easy,
but I did it and I lost countless hours of my life doing it.
And it was really countless because some douchebag stole my Nintendo 64,
all my games in high school,
except my special edition gold cartridge Ocarina of Time
and Majora's mask. I kept those hidden in my room. Also.
I'm pretty sure I could super smash every single one of you bros watching this
video with my boy link, see what I did there.
But the real point of this video is that Turner is young.
And as a gamer with 12 million subscribers,
he has a lot of young kids watching who might want to get into fitness one day.
And if the YouTube fitness community keeps acting like a bunch of assholes,
these young kids are going to grow up thinking that if they want to build a
decent physique, they need to take steroids to do it.
You guys either watch your mouths and realize that there are consequences to
your actions and the things that you say. But unfortunately,
that's the message we're sending with how we treated Turner's transformation
guys, Turner decided he was going to go all in on his journey. Well to be
fair, bro. Like, I feel like the sketchy part is for people is like,
they don't want to believe that I got this big naturally because like the
quarantine going on and nobody had like a gym. Meanwhile,
I have like a legit full private,
like gym that I spent like a hundred thousand dollars on just for like me and my
friends to work out. And you heard him.
He got his diet, right.
And build the $100,000 to make sure he could lift every week.
Now does an expensive gym mean more gains? No, of course not.
That's silly guys, but it does mean that he has everything
he needs the train.
And if he is excited and surrounded by his friends and his gym,
chances are he's going to stick with it. And based on his results,
it's very clear that he did.
Since day one, bro. I had like, the set up, you know what I'm saying?
That's all I wanted. I was like, if I'm gonna, if I'm gonna do this,
if I'm going to grind and try to gain muscle,
I want to do it like in the most effective way possible, you know.
Guys for a gamer to have that mindset when it comes to training.
I think that it's a wonderful thing. No cheat codes, no secret shortcuts,
just a lot of hard work and determination coming from the statement that he just
made in that clip that I played for you Turner,
isn't doing fitness for career. He just wants to be healthy.
And I don't think someone with that mindset would take steroids for the
obtainable transformation shown in this photo that can be achieved by anybody
willing to put the work in guys.
I am 100% certain based on his photo and video
training footage that he is natural. Okay.
I said it that's what this video was about.
