Scott Herman Fitness - Thoughts??

there has been allot of talk about him
he is no different then other youtubers, he has his pros and his cons

if you enjoy his videos, continue to watch

Ive watched some of his videos and im surprised the guy hasnt hurt himself yet.. He uses horrible form

Overall he's decent but most of his videos teach poor form that will lead to injuries.

Basically, damn hard work with even bad routines can work just fine. I did mostly machine work isolations and compounds (all very badly designed and thought out/arranged etc) my first year or so of training and made significant muscle gains, because I was consistant and ate ALOT not giving a crap about my razor abs. In that time I went from weighing something like 55-58kg to 80kg. (about 50lbs) And even after that year I've continued to gain very quickly, been losing some fat recently so my weight is evening out but I'm getting bigger and stronger weekly.

Scott has clearly experimented over the years and found what works for him. In the last 2 years or so he's gotten seriously bigger. Watch his old chest routine vid (got million veiws or something) and the new Zeus one, huge difference, so it's obviously working.
As usual people (often smaller people) will cop out and say "well if he did FBW he's get better gains" well I'm sure Scott isn't losing any sleep. This is the same for all successful people, theres always people who think they know better.

His advice is often fine for Bodybuilding. However as a forum of primarily members that are more strength minded, as soon as Scott comes in with isolations (god forbid) everyone claims it's all useless, which is bollocks in Bodybuilding and In Powerlifting of course. Do some research and you'll learn powerlifters use machines such as cable crunches, great for ab strength, calf raises for knee health, rotator cuff movements, light weight leg curls to thicken ligaments and tendons, hammer curls, tricep extensions, lat pull downs etc.

Ofc they also do the big stuff, Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press and their hundreds of variants with bands/chains etc, Good Mornings, Glute Ham Raises, More Squats.
I don't think isolations will ever take the place of compounds, compounds are king, however the two can compliment each other very well no matter what your training for.

No one has said anything about iso's being useless yet, but I think I remember on other threads about Scott the subject always came up.

As scooby once said, everyone who collects some thousands dollars (forgot the number) for charity is good in my book. I personally like his positive and smiling attitude. And he definitely brought many into fitness and trys to do the best within his knowledge. And whatever he did, he has a good physique .
However I canceled my youtube subscription for his channel because the most stuff is crap/spam to me personally but I wont turn him down in general.
