[Gym Rat]

That is an awesome home gym.

He seems a pleasant fellow.

Israetel is originally from Moscow, Russia.

He's building another 2500 square foot gym to exclusively house his temporalis machines.

[Rambone]

He really hit home for some Getbiggers with that anal cavity talk

Why does he look like that? Is he a reptilian?

[Van_Bilderass]

Something about him that makes him a bit unlikeable. Some type of arrogance perhaps. Maybe it's the the look on his face. Never really followed his stuff because of this.

Probably made a lot of money on his internet fitness related stuff.

No. He just has a reptile disfunction.

I believe he had his horns shaved down and primarily lives/works on a goat yoga farm. He’s friendly and will jump on your back if you let him

Dude had a good YT channel.

Probably the best authority on hypertrophy and exercise science on this planet. Funny guy.

He speaks so fast i have trouble keeping up.

[Gym Rat]

Just another yapper who makes videos about lifting weights, which is one of the easiest things to do on the planet.

NICE FRENCH TOAST!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s exactly what it is. He’s goes on about splitting hairs issues like 6 reps versus 8 or whether a reverse pyramid is better than a pyramid and acts like he cured cancer.

He’s 5’5” so that explains a lot.

[Spike]

he should wear sunglasses like the dude from UFO hunters did until he gets that tick or tourette’s thing addressed

when he starts forcefully blinking and talking fast dude loses me everytime

just like any strength coach - most of his discussions are watered down training theory/observations that are mai my bases on nuances - but some dudes like that - better than hearing some gal talk about granite floor tile color patterns

He has an amazing set up, but calling it a “home gym” is a bit of an understatement.  Whether you own or rent, at 2500sq ft I suspect most people on this board live in a space that is smaller than his home gym.  The size is great and the equipment speaks for itself! 

I briefly toyed with the idea of setting up a home gym.  I have the space for an accessory dwelling in my back yard but a) I’m not that hard core b) I like getting out of my house to go somewhere and occasionally be social and c) simply outfitting and maintaining a gym could get very costly; I’d rather put that money elsewhere—like buying an income or vacation property.  Once you invest in a home gym like that you're never moving!

The last time I was looking for a home, I seriously considered this place...  It sits on two acres, fruit trees in front and a huge accessory workshop/studio space in back that could easily be a home gym.

You should have bought it.

[Gym Rat]

True Bay, except for the "never moving" part.
Some of these guys moved huge gyms to new houses (more than once).
They just pay people to do it w/ their YouTube millions. (Juji Mofo, Brian Shaw, etc).

Lifting weights is complicated.

Maybe.  The building out back was described as "30 x 40 detached workshop/garage."  It was fully wired with electricity and lighting but no a/c (an easy fix).  At the time I looked at a lot of properties and this one made it into the top three.  I ultimately nixed it because it was too far from town... too far from my office... too far from my social life... no gym nearby.  It was described as "country living at its finest."  The zoning allowed horses, chickens, and farm animals.  It checked a lot of boxes, but it was just too far away.  This was all pre pandemic and I could not have known how often I would end up working from home (in the last month I think I have gone to my office three times).  Still the house was just too far away from things like the airport and my social circle.

The house I ended up buying is on a smaller lot (just one acre) but the house is bigger and much closer to where I need to be.  Still, I often wonder... "what if?"

Bay, do you have good “gaydar”? I’ve wondered why Israetel makes non sequiturs about homosexuality in his videos.

What is it that you want to hear?   Until week ago I had never heard of him; he is not on my radar. His video features his wife. Are you dissatisfied with that?  If you want to know more about him (including his sexuality) you should ask him—not me.

His horns on beautiful display there.

He's smug, and once I saw the true meaning of his RIR stuff, I never paid attention to him again unless it was related to some other guru or fitness thing.
