I just started watching him, too... he posts nearly everyday and has different topics/approaches than the other guys I follow. Even though I've heard "time under tension" a ton, he's really the first person to drive it into my head to the point of slowing down reps in recent weeks.
He had a really good one about why you can't just keep getting bigger and stronger forever, down to the cellular level and how your body operates, along with things like bodybuilder's range of motion decreasing as they put on 30 pounds of muscle. Thought it was really interesting and not just the normal "best chest exercises ranked" type of stuff.
And yeah, the Bobby Stroupe video is pretty brutal, but I know he always emphasizes "jokes all the way down" (and I actually tend to skip a lot of his tangents just as a time saver, but he can be kind of funny).
