This video explores the fitness knowledge of a popular fitness YouTuber. For each question answered incorrectly, a weight plate is added to a barbell. The first question focuses on shoulder muscle activation during a particular exercise.
Next, the YouTuber is questioned about the calorie content of fat and the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Identifying specific muscles in anatomical diagrams also proves challenging.
The quiz continues, covering topics such as the current Mr. Olympia champion, muscle identification, and the protein content of various food sources.
More advanced questions delve into the scientific aspects of fitness, including the most studied form of creatine, the term for the negative portion of a lift, and the muscle fiber composition of the soleus.
Finally, the YouTuber is asked about non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) and the meaning of the acronym RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion). These concepts are important for understanding overall energy expenditure and exercise intensity. The video aims to assess the true depth of knowledge possessed by fitness influencers and highlight the importance of evidence-based information in the fitness world.
