That's the fitness community as a whole, or at least, a vast majority of it. Driven by clickbait. That's how you get stuff like this:

I actually enjoy Bioneer's content but sometimes these calisthenic dudes can get too autistic sometimes.
The thing with fitness channels is that there is not too much to fitness. You can go over proper techniques and common injuries and how to avoid them, but there's not much else that can't be covered in a few videos. I've been watching Athlean X since 2010 when I began taking lifting seriouslyThe only fitness channels I like these days are 'shredded sports science' and 'mind pump show'. I use to enjoy watching Rich Piana, because at least he was honest about what he was doing, but the rest are cookie cutters.
Anyway, my cardio has been improving a lot, I've been tracking it with a Polar H10 for like 4-5 months now - this is an hour on the bike, same difficulty, same time, same distance, just 4 months apart - big improvement as you can see. Resting HR was around 80 when I got back into the gym in Dec last year after a year off, and it's sitting low 50's now, best I ever got to was 47 RHR but that was pre-covid before I fucked myself up on huge amounts of alcohol.Ver archivo adjunto 3420436
I struggle lifting with gloves. Instead I use liquid chalk, it's helped me.I have to ask are weightlifting gloves any good at keeping the pressure off your hands so the bar doesn't pinch you? I've been dead lifting around 330 and the biggest issue I have is that it just really starts to hurt my grip. I've built up some decent callouses but every time I go over 300 that's when I just start to feel the pain from holding the bar for too long. I'm able to pull off around 24 reps..
For Bench Squats I'm able to go much heavier than 330, so I know my legs can handle it.
I have several tools for grip, mainly cannon ball grips and wooden swings for when I do pull ups or farmer walks. pinching weights is also a food tool but the way plates go (you'll have to jump from pinching 2 10s to 2 25s means it's hard to make gains
Regarding home dumbells, one trick is using tennis balls on the part that sticks out since that part will hurt when you load on on your thighs for chest or shoulder presses
