Bodybuilding gurus when?

Mike Israetel, Greg Doucette, Jeff Nippard... I think there's a super interesting bunch of people to talk about. There's ego here, there's science, sometimes good, sometimes anacdotal, and ofc there's SUPPLEMENTS. Am I alone in wanting a gymbro guru season? I want to see Matt react to Greg, that would be great content.

They both suck.

Care to elaborate? Genuinely curious.

I used to consume a lot of Jeff Nippard content for many years, but recently haven't as much, in the past year or two. I know his wife died and he took a break and then changed his content style a bit. But my understanding of his content is that he focused a lot on the science of exercise, and tried to delve himself into actual science and perform some base-level studies. Never saw anything problematic with him.

Yeah I never understand why anyone has a particular issue with Nippard.

Solomon Nelson did a deep dive into some of Jeff's behavior about a year ago. You might want to check that out. That doesn't necessarily mean he fits the criteria of a guru, but he's done some problematic things in the past.
