It seems as if Janoy no longer has his ments, that insane fucktard Blaha is largely gone (?), Scooby is no longer running about airports shirtless and that "gains are loyal and to be saluted" Luimarco moron has also finally fucked off.
That leaves several guys: Nick from Nick's Strength and Fitness, Mikey from...something, but he's a great kid, John Meadows and Steve Shaw.
They are all likable, even if Nick basically parrots every stats he reads about a bodybuilder from Wikipedia. (I will try to overlook his incessant verbal tics; e.g., "Blahblahblah OF ALL TIME" or that stupid "bodybuilder by the name of" shit.)
The dead-pan Asian guy is the best. Elginintensity? But he's not prolific and mostly lampoons Crossfitters.

What about Eric Scott Fitness, Melvin Goodrum and Vladimir?
-
Nick produces good content, IMO.
He got de-monetized simply for having bodybuilding content, did to association with steroids. That has recently changed, and he is doing well on YouTube again.
Not sure what happened to luimarco. I think he is taking care of his elderly mother, and left YouTube for that reason. He is around 44 now, and lives in Montreal in the province of New France, Canada.

Nick drives me nuts- basically a monotone voice spouting "facts" you can find from any search engine. Elginintensity has one shtick and it's so old now. Piana was the last entertaining bodybuilding guy on YT.

I`m subscribed to Nick but never watched one single episode!!

While not a bodybuilding channel, sometimes Juji has bodybuilder stuff.

Juji actually has gotten pretty good lately- his stuff with powerlifters like Hafthor Bjornsonn and Larry Wheels is pretty entertaining.

I realize that and that`s why I never click on them. :)

IFBB Pro Greg Doucette (not a doctor) is a rising fitness youtuber, nearly 100k subscribers now.
https://www.youtube.com/user/gregdoucette/videos (https://www.youtube.com/user/gregdoucette/videos)
The "More plates more dates" guy seems to have decent info.

Good channels. Jay Cutler also posts some decent content on his.

Blaha still brings the unintentional laughs sometimes -

And the kids that troll him still make me laugh -
https://i.imgur.com/4hGzCsK.gif .
But his channel isn't promoted by Youtube and slowly dying off.
--------------------
Elgin is still good. Meadows, NSP, Alan Thrall, and Mark Bell are all still decent occasional watches. Shaw and Eddie Hall are just fun.
For Powerlifting, I really like Matt Wenning's channel. He worked under Louie Simmons, and is very good at explaining Westside and general Strength and Conditioning concepts -

Not to be a dick but... I just watched his How To Crush Pullups vid.
"Ok, so most of us can't do a pullup so..."
-Pulldowns
-Climb up on a chair and do eccentrics
-Use a big rubber band to boing you up
-Use my supps. They're magical.
"And pretty soon you'll be crushing pullups!"
Vid ends. He didn't do a single one. ??? He looks like a powerlifter tho so I'm sure PL content is for real. Leave the calisthenics to guys like thenx.
Thenx has decent progression turorials but there's a lot of fluff in his vids. Frank Medrano showing off will make you reevaluate what's possible with a lean body and some gravity.

Fair enough, I mostly watch him for the PL related content, and some of the general conditioning work. His videos are probably the quickest and easiest for most people to understand when setting up certain Westside things. I also don't watch for progressions or complete training set up, but rather little tips here and there, or things I've forgotten about.
The supplement shilling I'll slightly forgive simply because 99% of the Youtube guys are pushing something, and powerlifting is a no money sport/hobby.

Kenny KO is a getbigger ......
Right ?
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Brian Alsruhe is another good one from the strength side -
videos .

It probably won't be ground breaking stuff if you've been around for a long time, but he gives you a lot of info for being a mostly spam free channel.

seth feroce pretty down to earth guy does shit plain and simple funny guy to watch doesn't lie about gear..
-
John meadows channel is pretty good
-
Athlean-X.
Has some great info for injury rehab exercises.
-
I always liked John Meadows stuff......good guy too.

Yep, his Don't Neck Bridge vid probably saved me the rehab. Nothing cavalier about a sustainable program. Like his preference for single leg training too.
Even tho when he says Ok...guys... it sounds like he's saying Ok, idiots. And he does the buy my supps thing, which is too bad.
-
AthleanX - usually visit at least once a week.

Yes, his exercise and training videos are excellent.

Definitely.
I can see how Nick irritates people. He is monotone and is prone to endlessly repeating himself (gotta get those minutes for the ducats, right babe?!). His so-called research of "forgotten bodybuilders "by the name of" shit also sucks for multiple reasons (shitty "research," horrible journalistic form, etc.). He also seems to think it's cool to have a linguistic affectation a'la Arnold's "und ahl does fings" with his stupid "of ALL TIME" declarations.
But, I have to give the kid credit: he gets tons of views and he's basically shouldered his way into mainstream bodybuilding media. For a guy who thought Dorian weighed 250 at the 1990 NoC, I find his success laughable, but that is the REAL journalist in me speaking (pm me for my creds), plus a giant dose of jealousy!

I like the Strongman guys, more down to earth, not at all moronic like most BB's, real/heavy training, etc.
Shaw, Hall, Thor, Kearney, Stoltman Bros, etc. For BB related podcast, Scott McNally (Advices Radio) and Hansen have the best IMO.
I did like Centapani's vid's (mainly the food one's) but he doesn't do them often. Fouad isn't bad either... (Decent Podcast).
