I focus on strength training and have a couple decades of wear and tear on my body from doing it that I have to deal with, so here’s my list:
Alexander Bromley - My current favorite youtuber, entertaining and really informative. Occasionally repeats the some reactionary bs that Greg Nuckols puts out but overall is awesome. He also has at least one video pushing back on the science focused influencers which is worth a watch.
Meg Squats - Nice source of knowledge and workout routines.
The Bioneer - Already mentioned but he has some unorthodox takes and includes things like mental training that’s usually left out of training.
Brian Alsruhe - His channel got weird during covid because he was dealing with very severe health problems following his stints in counterterrorism with the US military (multiple parasitic infections that made him throw up 50 times a day - karma?) but he has some of the best lifting tutorials that I’ve found and it looks like he’s making interesting videos again now.
Juggernaut - Another good training source, particularly with Olympic lifting.
Zack Telander - Good Olympic lifting tutorials and a lot of videos of him calling people out.
Squat University - Good resource for dealing with pain and injuries. The reason why I now wear wide toe-box shoes and have toe spreaders.
Athlean X - Another good source for dealing with injuries. Also a great source for workout plans for “mirror” muscles like abs and biceps, though I’d never take his advice for gaining strength (exhale all your air before initiating a squat???)
Alan Thrall - One of the originals in strength training on youtube, he’s still making great content but seems to swing from one ideology to the next a bit much. But he has a great rise/fall video of an OG youtuber here: Elliot
