It’s pretty niche, but Mike Israetel of Renaissance Periodization is one of the biggest fitness youtubers who for years has thrown his phd around to become an authority on sports science. A critical review of his joke of a phd thesis was recently published and now it’s pure chaos in this sphere
Really? Fuck. Well, guess that leaves Jeff Nippard and LeanBeefPatty as still solid, hopefully. Been away from the lifting world but that sucks about Mike.
Jeff and a few other influencers came out immediately attacking the reviewer, it’s been wild seeing them circle the wagons. Mike claimed it was an old draft of the thesis, and produced an updated (doctored) version, which turned out to be fake and he then admitted that Solomon had in fact reviewed the final version. Assuming the university had threatened Mike. Solomon then released a video about his dealings with Jeff Nippard which also casts Jeff in a bad light. Generally disappointing all around
