Why it worked

The video uses a relatable "POV" format to show the process of learning a new exercise, including initial struggles and eventual success. This approach demystifies trying new movements in the gym, making it less intimidating for viewers.

Summary

The creator demonstrates a new exercise using a smith machine and a stepper, initially struggling with the positioning. After adjusting the setup, they successfully perform the exercise and express satisfaction, stating it will be added to their program.

Product placement

AYBL: This is a clothing brand. It APPEARS as a watermark/text overlay in the video. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. It is not promotional. Smith machine: This is a piece of gym equipment. It ACTS as it is used for exercises. Removing it would change what happens in the video.
