Probably at least partially because he only posts training footage and never really talks. Someone like Larry Wheels posts skits and funny stuff and pages like Calloused Hands Powerlifting posts motivational stuff and prehab and mobility. Personally I don't mind someone just posting training footage when it's that impressive as Jamal's. I never get tired of watching him pull 800-900lbs like it's 225lbs.
Fair enough
I guess I didnt think about it that way.
I suppose because I'm so interested, I view it the same way.
But impartially... yeah, would be boring for someone who isn't hardcore into it
Yeah, big personalities get big views. The nature of social media. There's some really strong virtually unknowns out there.

Got the super cool artificial hip @49
.....will get the other one probably in a year at 51... Turned me into a bench only guy
.Not that I wont squat or dead, pain is not the issue $$$$ is. If you include time off, copays, Dr.s visits that hip cost me about 6K and that's with insurance. Cant afford to mess that new one up beings the other old one is on borrowed time. Enjoy it while you can kids

Just got back from PT, brought up the arm tendon issues and the knee issue.
Knee he thinks may be a very minor Miniscus issue and some pain near MCL.
Arms he thinks is mobility issue as mentioned by @theprodgicalson and you all, and possibly tendon concerns but wants to work on mobility first.
Wants me to do a bunch of stretching and activation work and see how it goes in a week.

So this am did my PT prescribed stretching and warm up. Then started week 1 again Sheiko. Cut weight way down to see if that made any difference, worked no higher than 60% on bench, and 35% on squat.
No difference, arms and knee hurt like hell.
Arms mostly outside from shoulder to wrists. Elbows inside and out, peak of bicep, and bottom of tricep.
Knee both popped and clicked, then right one pain started top center then inside center.

Dang old man .. you sound as bad as me..lol. Everything has been mentioned in this post so I wont repeat but low bars really took there toll on my wrists/elbows upper arms etc. Joke to share. Young kid ask me why I trained different then everyone else and I said you have to train different when you get your card. He says with surprised look "you have a pro card" I said no -----AARP.

For now keep it light, live on Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen until thenDang old man .. you sound as bad as me..lol.

Quick little update
The kid showed up Wednesday, just running him through a simple bench/squat 2x a week and DL/OHP 1x a week with forced progression via weight or reps... again see if he follows through.
Bought some horse liniment see how that helps. Strong stuff lol.
Today is DL and Incl bench, curious how the arms do today.

Stretching sucks. But older we get is necessary. When I played ball we were forced to do yoga. Will say I felt better then than I do now with my knees

How did his deadlifts go? You should post his base stats with bench, squat and deads and then post again a few months down the road. I miss training people. Always made me happy when you get them to do lifts they never thought they could do at first. You have a fun project if he stays consistent and enjoys it

Yeah, I hope he does. I m tracking his lifts.
He worked up to 205x3... but they were ugly..
He is heavy and tall tried to get him to try sumo as I think better for him but he didnt like it.
His stats
B 105x3
S 95x5 but he gets no where near deep enough. Working on it
D 205x3
Basically his form sucks, so gonna hold him back some from weight increases. Also trying to get him to push himself. When its heavy grind it out, when the lactic acid burning keep pushing... he is not there yet

built this as a motivation point, fill up some wall space. The numbers are what they are. 
Additional PRs to track:
Low bar squat
High bar squat
Front squat
Bench
Overhead press
Conventional deadlift
Sumo deadlift
Trap bar deadlift
Perhaps bench press variation PRs like incline.

Dude I’m jealous, honesty. I love training / teaching people. At least I get to help my wife, lol.
you’re doing the right thing by holding him back. He’s lucky he has someone knowledgeable...Make sure he perfects his form to a T...That’ll be the best advancement he can make and eliminate so many potential set backs.
So many people miss this point. If you train wrong and still get big numbers, thats great and all, but its still wrong lol.
100%. I wish I realized this concept when I was starting out... I eventually had to reinvent my entire bench form. Form is king.
