coach, this guy is a hack, seriously. he says some stuff that's common sense, and then mixes in a huge amount of retarded bullshit. this video is the perfect example... let's just enumerate the stupidities within:
1. Big lats look stupid. WTF??? Keep in mind: this guy does not endorse steroids in any way, and, as you said "gears his services toward newbies." How on earth could ANYONE be concerned about "too big of lats" under these circumstances?
2. "Huge lats and your arms flared out like you're holding suitcases." Hahahah WTF??? That's called ILS, nothing to do with lat size.
3. Mike Mentzer is the best bodybuilding physique of all time. "No bells and whistles, just functional." Unbelievable.
4. "What Mike Mentzer and I do to keep our lats in check is to use a supinated grip while doing our pullups" HAHAHAHAHAHHAH REALLY? This is going to cause a noticeable difference?
5. Gayass pseudointellectual t-shirt oh brother.
