Who?
[QUOTE=ForumNature;1573045311]Who?[/QUOTE]
Youtube troll.
[QUOTE=kingHanley;1573044981]Buy the plan for me OP, and I’ll do it[/QUOTE]
Might be able to get you a trial so you can check it out. With the store discount that comes with it, it pays for itself if you actually shop here.

Figures as much.
I have a hard time taking anything Aaron Marino says seriously. He's proven repeatedly that he'll abuse his followers to make a quick buck.
It's unfortunate, because his earliest videos actually had good content. :/

There are over 60 other programs, so if Tailored isn't a good fit, there is always another program to try out.

I don't doubt the efficacy of many BB workouts (I've followed some myself in the past) but having watched Aaron's high-volume chest workout on YouTube (the one on the BB channel) I was amazed at how bad it is. He's actually teaching bad movement and form that can cause permanent injury. His workout reads like a list thrown together by a college Chad who's sole education is a couple Mens Health articles.

The sad thing is, he's not joking. I don't understand how this type of content got through and now people are paying hard cash only to learn how to set themselves up for major injuries. These are not guys who have some knowledge under their belt and know when to stop if it doesn't feel right; this is a workout targeted at beginners who will trust his charisma and the BB name and push through the pain and the danger. It's not just another AlphaM sales pitch where if he's wrong you're just out a few dollars - this is serious and can damage your body for the rest of your life.
Again, I'm not dissing BB workout plans that work, the ones from actual professionals, but Aaron is a salesman - not a fitness instructor.
I think that's fair. His plan is not one that attracts me personally, but he does have a rather large following. This is why we try to continue to offer a wide variety of programs, because everybody has different ideas and what does or does not work

Pun intended?
I'm pretty sure the program managed frequency pretty poorly only hitting each muscle group once a week and the exercise order was poorly put together (heavy bench press was in the middle of the workout). He also demonstrated in a video of him benching with feet up, flared elbows and a suicide grip.
I don't like vegan gains and don't generally watch his content, but in this particular instance he provided criticism and made arguments which were pretty valid when it came to outlining why the program is flawed.

Absolutely

The most common complaint I've seen on Tailored is the form. With anything fitness related, there is always going to be differing opinions, but that again is why we are always working on new content.

why its so bad ...
[QUOTE=OnePoundFish00;1573044161]vegan gains exposed how bad this workout is[/QUOTE]I tried it too, totally agree!
One of the worst workout routines I've ever seen. The guy is a fraud who doesn't know **** about working out. Suicide grip & legs up while benching, exercises in completely random order, bro-split, and of course his little "Notice my elbows nice & wide protecting the shoulders." quote. smh

Not really a fan of his workout plan.
Nicely explained. Thanks for sharing
