Career
Nippard performed in his first bodybuilding show when he was nineteen. In 2012, he was awarded Mr. Junior Canada. Nippard created his YouTube channel in 2014. He had been consistently going to the gym since 2005, although, before discovering science-based lifting in 2014, he had been an adherent to the broscience movement. Nippard's early videos were based around his workouts, later shifting to presenting research in a digestible way.
In 2021, Nippard launched MacroFactor, a premium app that tracked nutrients. By this time, he had been selling training programs on his website. In October 2024, Nippard was involved in an altercation with bodybuilder Mike Van Wyck at a Burlington, Ontario, gym that resulted in Van Wyck being charged with two counts of assault after hitting Nippard and his cameraman. The confrontation was due to Van Wyck uploading a video titled "Science Based Scammers" and Nippard making video in response that refuted Van Wyck's claims.
In December 2024, Nippard published an instructional book, The Muscle Ladder: Get Jacked Using Science. In September 2025, Nippard revealed the Muscle Lab, a 4,000 sq ft (370 m2), $3 million dollar research facility in Oakville, Ontario. He had been working on the project for two years with design studio Nivek Remas and planned to used it as a studio where he would also conduct experiments that would get peer reviewed and published in science journals.
