There are so many angles I could take on the back of this statement, but since we’re here on Instagram I’ll keep to that.
-
I get it. You work out, and you enjoy both the training and the results and you want to share them. Please do. Provided what you’re doing is genuinely inspiring and not just narcissism, you’re helping make exercise the norm.
-
Sharing it also keeps you accountable, and helps keep you motivated to keep it up so you can continue getting encouraging words from the online community. Such a positive aspect of social media.
-
I know, you've seen results from your training and want to help others achieve the same. It almost always comes from a place of good intentions, but please… for the mother of god… stop it with the fucking tutorials.
-
If you’re not a professional coach, if your day doesn’t revolve around learning every intricacy of what makes a movement a beneficial one, if you don’t spend your time fine tuning how you coach and adapt it to various individuals… then leave the teaching to those who are and do.
-
Stick to motivational quotes underneath a low-angle arse selfie. They’re fine! Everyone needs more clichés and buns in their day.
-
Consider where you “learnt” the movement from yourself. If it was another fitness enthusiast on YouTube or Instagram, you’re essentially regurgitating their information. Ask yourself whether their source was just someone else's video too. How many levels of Chinese whispers have taken place, how many “opinions” have slipped themselves in as fact? How many cues have been accidentally removed because they weren’t what the producer needed themselves but would be crucial to someone else’s execution?
-
Maybe you read some articles & studies, or even studied the anatomy and the force diagrams? Amazing, but you’re now a scientist, not a science teacher.
-
If you did something and it worked for you then that’s awesome, I’m delighted for you. If you’d just share the fucking video that you watched in hope that it helps someone else too, that would at least remove one layer of you bastardising whatever the (likely inaccurate) video contained.

"The Science of Agak-Agak"
This video's 5 minutes long'ish. Just watch it. If you can't understand the Malaysian lady's accent, just pay attention to "agak-agak" and the "Clitorial flower" thing.
So I was talking to Matt and he brought up a few things that he told me that I told him.
He said something like "You told me to ..." honestly I have no idea what the hell I said to him.
I really began to understand better as I traveled to Italy. People there were expecting metrics. I had almost none. All I had was an idea that I expanded.
You see, in Asia, the point of learning is to get the general idea of how things work. Getting the metrics on the truly important things like
- "How many kilos do you lift now?"
- "Where do you stand in the scale of pathetic'ness and how much must you lift to go from uselessly weak to pretty damn weak"
- How do we get you from "Uselessly weak to damn weak"
Every other thing, is "agak-agak" or "estimate". If this athlete can't apply what's supposed to work, change it! Get off your stupid mighty horse of quoting previous sport scientists. If you do that in China, they'll be like "Dude's so original, he quotes a 1970 scientist". Even a well trained picture frame can quote. Applying the quote is what matters.
Adapt the technical changes and training changes to suit the athlete. Not limit the athlete because of your own knowledge limitations as a coach. If the athlete plays his role and trains hard, it's YOUR role as a coach to help him train smart too.
An athlete that plays his role of training well, and gives you feedback is hard to find. If you find one, don't fail him. Many coaches have failed their athletes by repeating the same stupid cue over and over again. It didn't work the first 5000 times. What makes you think that cue's gonna work the 5001th time?
Get your nose between the books, then get your nose in the gym and your head running a little. Knowing something's useless if you fail to apply it.
Take the time to find your flaws instead of scouting forums to look for inconsistencies in other's responses and throwing out a "That's not right! Zatriosky said this! You're wrong!"
You may feel real smart. Really, you look about as intelligent as an eggnog when you do that.
