I've seen a lot of professionals from strength coaches to bodybuilding coaches like Hany Rambod, Charles Glass, Charles Palanquin. But none of them even come close to Mr. Tom Purvis'knowledge of strength training. Tom Purvis to me is a resistance training guru!
Agree with everyone else below, so sad that I found your channel and no uploads for a year :( This is ridiculously high quality content , and I really appreciate you putting it out there for people to review. Thanks!
Alan Aragon brought me to this. And by god I’ve never had a more sympathetic response to a video. How our trainees view us is by far one of the most important topics to talk about. This is why it’s so difficult to coach a family member or fiancée.
Dude! I'm so happy you're back on TH-cam making videos again, I was bummed out when the videos stopped coming in 3 years ago 😂. Your content is amazing. I'm in my 4th year of my kinesiology degree now and I loved watching your videos going through school. They helped a tonne for personal training/my own training as well.
Hello Tom Sir, Just want to tell you that you have a big family in India, a lot of people who are willing to meet you someday. Heard a lot of stories about you from our Daddu(Dr. Mark) and my mentor Aminder Singh Sir. We will meet you Soon.. May God bless you with a long and healthy life.
Great video. Had an experience a few days ago that perfectly sums up this video. Was trying to help up a guy with some calve training mechanics and maybe some things to think about when training. Keep in mind this guy is probably 220 and in decent shape and I'm only about 180 with a good physique tho. I could tell he wasn't very receptive to the information I was giving him and he ended our conversation with well I wouldn't take business advice from a guy who's broke. In which point I said okay.. well let me put it to you this way. I don't need to be an MLB pitcher to teach you the mechanics of throwing a baseball. He didn't have anything to say after that
Tom please please please put your Focus on Fitness VHS tapes onto TH-cam especially the deltoids one that you made Barrey so we can watch them; I no longer have access to watching taps that bought since my old VCR has taken to eating taps.
tom purvis i just recently watch a lot of your videos and i was hoping if you could make a video about foam rolling and how it affets the body (positively and negatively)?
Tom, you have very interesting vids, thanks! I am wondering what training advice you have for the middle-aged man (with many years of training experience) in terms of maintain muscle mass, health and longevity. For example, what exercises are especially important.
It took him 10 minutes to establish the fact that you can't judge a book by its cover. maybe some people really need to have that fallacy broken down, idk.
what about getting training advice by someone who isnt in shape or even overweight. there must be a reason they not in shape or whatever. i understand the arnold concept but i still feel if a pt was overweight or something id second guess his credentials. because what could possibly be a legitimate reason for them to no longer look the same/ be in shape
@jay what if the person who is now overweight was once the leading biomechanist/exercise scientist for a major fitness company? I'm not trying to say that a title automatically guarantees that the subject will be knowledgeable, but for what it's worth, what if that person got into a devastating accident that forever halted their previous weight-lifting/fitness endeavors? What if they've been in months of rehab and have gained 30-50 lbs and are now overweight? They are still mentally competent and able; they're just not physically able to personally implement what they know. Obviously this isn't the case for EVERY overweight PT, as I realize that many are full of shit and only hired to try and fill up a training schedule, but as Tom explains, we can't come to conclusions based on appearance. You NEVER know. I would also probably think twice if the person trying to instruct me was severely overweight, but then my job would be to look at the information he's relaying and whether it holds up to current science (yes, this will take MY time, but it's required if you want to know if someone is full of BS or if they truly know their craft). I think to some extent, people have gotten lazy and fail to at least learn the basics; they take the word of every PT at face value, implementing their methods blindly and failing because of it, time after time. Sure, fault definitely lies with the PT for not being knowledgeable enough to relay correct advice, but fault also lies with the trainee for taking this info at face value, time after time. Fitness isn't the only field where BS runs rampant, and it's my opinion that if people haven't learned that they need to sort out truth from BS enough to know who is credible and who is full of crap, well. .... :)
yep! part of that continuum! remember I said if they never struggled with it on the road to apparent success... please realize that they may no longer care about that goal at all. they have nine kids and be dealing with cancer... but yes, the point of the struggle is only if there is or was sustainable success at some point for as long as he/she wanted to sustain it
@@Aspenfawn will biomechanics and exercise science has nothing to do with appearance anyway, does it? Those aren't necessarily "fitness". they are related sciences that have absolutely nothing to do with nutrition, food addiction, etc. so why would we expect anything beyond his/her area of expertise.... assuming they were experts in the first place

I really wish i could attend your courses. I really really do.
It's great to see you posting again Tom. Your view on topics in s&c is priceless..
Tom you have to do more videos please! All of it are awesome!
I always feel like I've learned something new when I watch your videos. I look forward to any future uploads from you guys.
Thank you for sharing this!

Great topic that needed to be extensively discussed by a real expert 👍 Thanks Tom 😊👊 Hope you continue to post regularly again 🙌
Awesome videos! My squats got better from watching your videos! You guys really help bring forth the truth! Please keep making the videos coming!
Finally some new stuff!!! Keep them coming!! 2 thumbs up!!

Great video. I hope this is the first of a new batch!
Steve Hess is the real deal. Learned a lot from him just from watching and listening to him on TH-cam.
Keep the videos coming!
Great stuff, I also want more videos from you!!!
Just found this channel, hoping for more videos in the future. Great content
Great video, good points, funny and insightful commentary. I appreciate it!
that's a pity you did not post any other video after this one
Tom please please please put your Focus on Fitness VHS tapes onto TH-cam especially the deltoids one that you made Barrey so we can watch them; I no longer have access to watching taps that bought since my old VCR has taken to eating taps.
really enriching...would love to learn more from his work ethics
tom purvis i just recently watch a lot of your videos and i was hoping if you could make a video about foam rolling and how it affets the body (positively and negatively)?
Really like the educational videos you do. Do you do one on one mentorship programme?
Tom, love your videos!
Is RTS available online?
YOOO nice to see BPak on here xD
Great info as usual. Can you suggest good reading materials in regard to your line of business. And what are your thoughts on books by Kelly Starrett?
Tom, you have very interesting vids, thanks! I am wondering what training advice you have for the middle-aged man (with many years of training experience) in terms of maintain muscle mass, health and longevity. For example, what exercises are especially important.

Great video! ;)
It is a matter of dopamine and emotion.

Hey guys help me out wich is he's last name tom what he is the man
💪🏼
Would Toms understanding of "physics" & "mechanics" qualify him to give an opinion on the free fall symmetrical collapse of building 7?
Wow gotta try that mouseshit diet for weight loss!
Looks like will smith.. Expert in jail.. These comments are a little suspect.. Trust me I paid attention to everything you said
