Unlike the other social media platforms, YouTube is a long format platform. While Instagram and Snapchat have the capabilities to post videos, both have time restrictions and can’t match the depth YouTube videos offer.
If you want to learn a thing or two about fitness and bodybuilding, you should begin by watching some YouTube videos. Creators have put out thousands of hours of content which can give you an edge in shaping your physique.
