A healthy relationship with oneself, physically and mentally. This is the most underrated aspect, not just in regards to the gym.

Not necessarily underrated, but absolutely crucial… Training intensity and consistency with nutrition and sleep. Overrated: Lengthened partials. ‘Optimal’ or ‘best’ exercises.

Nitpicking is overrated. Takes 90% of the advices given for 5% of the results. (Made up numbers)

Food is underrated. You need to eat in a surplus if you want to put on muscle. Keep that protein at 1 gram per pound of bodyweight.

Underrated: strength. I think people separate strength and hypertrophy. They look at strength as its own adaptation when it is really the outcome of multiple adaptations with hypertrophy being one. If your 1RMs for your training age aren't impressive, you maybe aren't that big. Especially in the short run you need to almost have a power lifter mindset with hypertrophy programming. Overrated: Volume, deep stretch and exercise selection. The exact exercise selection doesn't matter that much long the exercise is fairly stable and load able its usually fine. The stretch has gotten overrated the second people started putting Leg Extensions in C tier and we started doing lying bicep curls with 5lb dumbells. Yes I said exercise selection doesn't matter that much but this idea that everything needs a super deep stretch is getting ridiculous. Just include exercises with different positions like one overhead extension and one pushdown for example. You'll be fine. Frequency is likely more important than volume since a given muscle only benefits from 4-6 sets per session and it's probably better to have more first sets due to MUR and the fact that muscle starts to atrophy throughout the week.

I think sleep is overrated as long as you get rest and time to grow. No need to force sleep.

Optimal training is great but overrated imo. The margin of error to make noticeable gains isn’t so narrow that you need to strictly follow the scientifically perfect split/exercises/rep range/form/etc. Science-based workouts are great, but one can still make substantial gains with “broscience” workouts. Which is weird that I say that because I’m a big fan of content like yours and other science-based fitness channels 🤣

Genetics are overrated, leading people to use it as an excuse vs. just focusing on diet and consistency to hit goals
