Dr. Mike has literally changed my entire training for the better. He’s such a wealth of knowledge and for the most part I think he’s probably one of the top fitness channels and everyone should consider checking it out. My muscles and training have improved drastically
100% agree. At first it's really humbling to lift like he does, the weights go down quite a bit. But after you adapt, your strength rebounds close to what it was. The main benefits I've noticed are increased flexibility (shoulders, hips, knees), subsidence of tendinopathy in my pecs and knees, better mind-muscle connection, and improved ability to know my true RIR. I did all my chest movements like he teaches for about a year, and now can do dips again for the first time in at least 15 years. It's a great way to train for lifting longevity because your joints and tendons have time to adapt.
@@Jombozeus i always describe working out like a experiment on myself, because you gotta stay consistent, control the variables, and standardized everything you can
The whole "bring the last rep down like your going to do another one" is an absolute GEM piece of advice. I've been making more effort to do it and it really feels like it's making such a difference. Really took a lot from this video.
My biggest takeaways from Jeff + Mike’s crossover content have been to slooooow down and get as deep into each stretch as possible. Feels like those two things have greatly improved the effectiveness of my training almost overnight. Thanks for all that you do, fellas!
Yeah, and the moral of the story always seems to be: Don't ever add weight to the bar, if you can find another way to make the exercise harder. So injury risk is massively reduced, too
@@FWS_SinisterThere’s no right or wrong ways to body build, just different methods. You don’t “need” full ROM to make gains but it’s good for practice and mobility if you’ve been lifting for less than a year.
@@zakarywin7645 he did say that in that video but in this video they're acting like full rom makes the gains so much better when that's not what he was saying before
@@FWS_Sinister Jeff is saying that the pump is better. He wouldn’t know if the gains are better unless he trained this way for months. I would encourage every beginner to intermediate lifter to continue lifting with full rom. If you have the mobility, there’s no reason you shouldn’t. When you get into the niches of bodybuilding, all the pros and their coaches will have nuances in their training. There’s a lot of fitness content out there, so I interpret it as different techniques in my arsenal rather than what is right/wrong and best/worst.
@0:10 Dr Mike looks like a super buff toddler in his pose down. It's crazy that these two short kings managed to connect on video. You almost never see Mike looking the same height as a man on camera.
Seeing the difference between the way Mike acts with someone for Science and someone like Will Tennyson is crazy 😂 great guy, great knowledge, and great humor
Yeah, if you have a very good flexibility it could work. The way Mike does the front delt exercise and rear delt cable would wreck my joints and tear my tendons.
You can ditch the super ROM lateral raise. That's one of the dumbest exercises I've ever seen. There is zero tension at the top and full joint ROM is the not the same as full muscle ROM.
I love, how, Jeff Nippard is the reason I discovered Dr. Mike more than half a decade ago due to his round-table discussions, but yet Jeff treats Dr. Mike almost like he's a new fan. You both have contributed immensely to my motivation to pursue evidence-based strength training knowledge.
When I read a “half a decade ago” I was like oh wow that’s way before I was subbed to Mike, and then I realized that 2019 is a half decade ago and I got really sad.
@@Itssconnorr Hundred percent man... 😂 Scary stuff... First started watching Jeff while I was in university in 2017. I then realized that's almost 7 year ago already.
I've been getting into the gym alot since the beginning of the year and am watching this massive backlog on amazing information concerning hypertrophy you have available on your channel, and I always love when you and Mike are getting together!
*-seated machine overhead press* (seated dumbbell or seated smith machine if the machine at your gym sucks) *-dumbbell lateral raise* (or cable y raise) *-cable lateral raise* (cable at hip height, lengthened position) *-any rear delt fly* (reverse pec deck is the best option try using neutral grip too, no 45° of abduction isnt more rear delt, the rear delts insert on the humerus so the muscle fibers change angle based on humeral elevation, the rear delt's fibers are at a 45° angle when the arms are pointed straight down but fiber orientation doesn't really matter here, 45° of abduction will involve slightly more lats whereas 90° will be almost entirely rear delts if you keep the scapula stationary, if you let the scapula move then it'll hit the entire upper back with the rear delts aka the traps and rhomboids)
hey can you send me a link to a vid/study you found that explains why fiber orientation doesnt matter with rear delts since i am thinking of switching from reverse cable flys to a fly machine.
It is amazing: everyone who training with Dr Mike start implementing his cues to his training. I'm really glad I've stumbled upon you two during my lifting and studying journey
I'm seriously impressed with Jeff's shoulder mobility. I cannot get my arms anywhere near my ears for that dumb bell side raise, but I'll continue to work on it. The more I learn and grow in both knowledge and strength the more I'm convinced that poor mobility indicates weakness, so I'm sure that as my shoulders get stronger my mobility will improve. I already proved this to myself as far as raising my arms to my ears in front of me goes (lat strength/mobility) so I'm excited to keep doing these moves and see both areas improve. Also, for a middle aged woman I already have pretty jacked shoulders and I want to see what doing more than military presses does for that 3-D shape. Thank you for the excellent content, I love this collaboration!
Not big on commenting on RUclips, but this vid's definitely my top pick. Just put together a new shoulder workout plan from these exercises. Dr. Mike's awesome, and him teaming up with Jeff is just epic. Can't wait for more stuff like this, Jeff!
The chemistry is off the charts. So fun to watch, so knowledgeable, and I was just looking for new delt exercises and tips. I will be coming to this again and again. Thanks so much
Tried the lateral dumbbell raises as part of my warm up, the results killed me. Tightened the hell of my lateral deltoids to the point that i could not hit it my heavy sets. Great new exercise for the end of your shoulder workout. Looking forward to more training videos.
Jeff is a legend for showing the world what can be done WITHOUT DRUGS. Just hard work, time and sciencing the shit out of resistance training. This is what integrity looks like.
Just gotta tren hard. Test yourself. Eat clen. Anavar give up. Homie absolutely used gear in the past. Maybe not anymore, but there's no question he has.
@@iosifkovalenko8364 lol good for you bud! You're not Jeff Nippard though. His parents lived the juicing lifestyle. You don't get 3d delts like that without gear, and if you disagree, then you aren't educated enough on the subject so I won't waste my time with ya. I'm on gear and have been around it in the powerlifting scene for 20 years now. It's easy as fuck to spot.
Great nod to John Meadows with that fanned out cable lateral raise.. I love seeing different RUclipsrs use the techniques that he used, whether it was learned from him or not, it's a great way to keep the memory of him alive for me.
Same! Kinda disappointed he didn't mention John tbh they had filmed collabs before his passing. Would have been a great way to keep him alive. I still rewatch his videos all the time!
@@balexander28 Yeah, agreed. I think Jeff and John were pretty close though. I remember the video tribute Jeff put out after John’s passing. It was very heartfelt and he described how he would join his family on occasion at John’s home. I’m sure failing to give credit to John was just an oversight. I really miss that man. You won’t find many men of John’s character. May he rest in peace 🙏🏼
You’re special Jeff, you have been able to bring the Science to an audience who would have normally rejected it. You are now the go to Science guy for the general population. Even though you are not a research scientist you have done what many scientists have tried to do and failed, which is bring the real knowledge to the ‘bros.’ You have done it by… 1. Having the knowledge 2. Applying it and looking the part 3. And delivering both of the above in a professional and entertaining manner. And if anybody denies it, 4M subs don’t lie with high viewership per video. You are someone I look up to Jeff, you are one of my heroes. Thank you. 🤜
Mike and Jeff are literally carrying all my potential growth on their (pun intented) shoulders in both their separate videos and in collabs. Keep going boys, best gym-related content I experienced on yt.
That was magnificent! You guys define synergy. It's 1+1=3. You need to do more videos together. Dr. Mike is an expert and so are you. It's not just the workout, but also the way you guys express yourselves. We neeeed moooreee
Jeff I feel like you were the one who put Dr Mike on the map years ago. It’s amazing to see how far he’s come, he deserves it. His lifting philosophy really elevated my training and helped me make sense of proper technique and progressive overload, and he’s one of the funniest people on the planet. Good to see you doing some training videos with him, I’d love to see more!
Every day is a lesson with Dr Mike and Jeff. They do it with a sense of humour too, which makes them more engaging. I'm also a big fan Jeff Cavaliere (Athlean X). They come at it from different angles, the former from a bodybuilding point of view and the latter from more a functional, physical therapist side, but they all teach me something.
This is a perfect video to post comment from ex skinny guy. In last 6 months I gained over 40lbs of pure lean muscles, no fat. I started with exercising 4 times per week at the gym, and I also took a meal plan from OnlyMeal. My shoulders are finally getting that 3D look, and I get so many compliments on my physique. So if you want great, aesthetic shoulders, start eating more proteins and carbs, and work as hard as you can.
I love these guys! This video was very helpful to me and my journey. As a side note, I'd like to point out how humble and teachable Jeff is. To be a good leader, you also need to be a good follower. You need to be teachable. I am always impressed by how good of a student Jeff is even after all that he himself has accomplished and become.
This guy is amazing, I've been a fan for years. I haven't watched any of his videos since I stopped going to the gym. That's been 7 years, and now I'm back for my first week. I was a bit confused about what shoulder exercises to do because I'm no longer able to do what I used to. Thankfully, this video helped me out a lot. I'm going to let go of my ego and focus on control and tension. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Despite being weak as hell coming out of surgery Mike's science has changed everything about my training over the past few years and the results of it as well, with some muscle groups finally developing where they never have before. Always super happy to see him promoted more. Such a generous master of his craft giving away this level of knowledge for free. And what a sense of humour, and so handsome! Oh my.
I have been watching your videos for years and I absolutely loved this one because of the “bloopers” at the end. Makes it feel more real and enjoyable. Thanks again for great content Jeff💪🏼
Hey Jeff, your videos are always a game changer! I tried incorporating the rear delt cable flies into my routine after watching this one, and oh my, what a difference! The stretch on my rear delts is unreal, and I can really feel the burn. Thanks for sharing these gems - they've taken my workouts to a whole new level. Your content is top-notch, and I appreciate the valuable tips you provide. Looking forward to more killer workouts and advice. Keep it up! 💪🔥
Okay, I feel a little better now. I swear I was just starting to implement a bar raise, inverted grip for front delts. And I kinda felt like a fool at first. But this has now cemented this movement into my regular shoulder workouts. Thanks guys! Gonna try the shoulder "sword draw. "
Having you 2 do a video together rocks ! I follow both and honestly you both give me best advice as I’m off to gym now and gonna raise up my cable rear delta as I was forehead level. Can’t wait to feel results. Thanks for working together, look forward to more .
Jeff I love your videos. I found Dr. Mike first and then came across your channel afterwards and the two of you have been a huge help for my workouts. I’ve only been back in the gym for 6 weeks and I’m seeing huge gains already and it’s all because of the things I have learned from my Dr. Mike and you so thank you!
I unfortunately gave up my natty status back in high school without much thought but I agree with you. Even though I've never used that much, or that frequently, I've come to believe natty is the by far the best way to go. If I had it to do over again that's what I would do. And I agree that the side by side - of enhanced Mike and natty Jeff - makes a great case for the natty path. 👍
@@Alex-gb7sm What's crazy too is that 1. Mike looks just slightly taller 2. Has been training for longer 3. Has more advanced hypetrophy training knowledge 4. trains purely for hypertrophy where as Jeff is a powerbuilder. If all those things were also equal then the comparison would likely be even closer
@@Alex-gb7smeh whatever bro. people remember success and health. and if you're good/great enough people will make up ANNYYY excuses for you. be a good model and stay honest and you'll find your true fans AND your true friends I bet that
I've basically narrowed down my weightlifting content to Jeff and Dr. Mike. What else do you need? Just such a wealth of knowledge, research, and best practices with 0% bullshit.
@@Matthew.E.Kelly. Jonni is great, no doubt. Sean Nalewanyj too. There are lots of great resources, but for the nerd in me, Mike and Jeff are the crème de la crème.
My 2 Go Tos for science based fitness advice. I cannot stress how much these two helped me already within 2 month of getting back to the gym after years of hiatus.
Front -Seated machine shoulder press (or seated dumbbell) -EZ bar front raise (or free cable machine) Side -Super ROM lateral -Cross body cable y raise Rear -Super ROM reverse cable fly -Reverse pec deck
1:40 I think actually that u might’ve gone over in another video but there is research showing that partial reps in the stretched position are more effective and less taxing than a full range of motion
I've struggled finding the right shoulder exercises for me but adding some of these has resulted in some of the best shoulder workouts I've ever had super grateful.
Haven't even started the video yet and I know its going to be great. Your videos are always packed with so much info and I am here for it. Also here for pumpkin delts soooo let's goooo
Those squats were great , I loved the the tempo and the re-racking tehnique . Such marvelous movement from top to bottom. Awesome video as usual! Keep it up!
Weird hack for rear delts I figured out accidentally. Single arm rope face pulls. If you struggle to connect to your rear delts, give these a shot, especially if you have imbalances. I've never felt such a strong contraction as I do with these. Downside is they take twice as long to perform since they're unilateral, but since rear delts recover quickly you can almost just switch sides without any rest between sets. I get rotator cuff tightness from doing too many reverse pec deck or cable pull apparts for rear delts, but never have issues with face pulls (plus they hit your rotator cuff and make your shoulders feel nice).
Another tip for controlling the negative rather than tell yourself you're going to do another rep is just count the reps on the negative as opposed to the concentric, it really does help slow down those negatives
Jeff, you ever think of doing a really heartfelt “How far I’ve come since day one” video? 4 million subscribers is crazy man. Been watching you since day 1 💯🙌🏽🙏🏽🔥
Jeff: "Side delt training should account for 70-90% of shoulder training" Also Jeff: **Makes side delt exercises account for 20% of shoulder training video** Jokes aside- Great content
I love how you guys not only give scientific explanations, but also articulate to where it is straight forward - easy to understand advice. Absolutely love these videos. Bravo 🙌
Jeff you just said in your last video that the most important part of the lift is the lenghted part, in this video the exercise chosen by Israetel really emphasize the shortened part (like the super rom latera raise or the reverse cable fly) Wouldn't be better to focus on exercise that load the stretch part of the delt more? I'm getting confused.
It's hard to load the delts in the lengthened position with free weights. Like Mike said, use a cable machine if you have one. A way to target the lengthened position with dumbbells is to lean over (like, laying on a bench), but then you might have to do the exercise unilaterally. So there's a tradeoff, do you do the slightly more optimal movement even though it will take longer? People will have different answers to that question.
mike said to do it cause it's REALLY good for mind muscle connection but wont cost much reps. That equals more pump equals more metabolites so it's worth to do in this case. Also lengthened partials are better or same for MUSCLE GROWTH. Full ROM is better for injury prevention and joint health.
There's a focus on the peak concentric contraction in many of these exercises with a squeeze and pause which emphasizes the shortening of it, that is true, but the thing Mike emphasizes more than anything is the slow eccentric and the whole 'milking' of the muscle you see in all of the exercises, which is focusing on keeping constant tension on the muscle as it lengthens out. That is where the magic typically happens. Slow slow slow don't drop your weights control the full rep!
This video, for where I'm at in my fitness journey, is absolute perfection. I've also had some joint issues over the years from work. So, having someone explain motion and technique is super important for me. Thank you
Would you guys like to see another muscle masterclass featuring Dr. Mike? If so, let me know what we should hit next!

woww man thats great results!! congrats. Did you take any suplements or just meal plan from that website? I will check it, thank you
I also need to gain some pounds! Please can you send me that meal plan
@@noirstar1994lmao, thats what im sayin😂 on average, you gain 1-2 pounds per month if you natty and bulking.. this guy on tren or sum shit
Jeff and Dr Mike are such a great pair, would love to see more videos of them together !
I love these guys! This video was very helpful to me and my journey. As a side note, I'd like to point out how humble and teachable Jeff is. To be a good leader, you also need to be a good follower. You need to be teachable. I am always impressed by how good of a student Jeff is even after all that he himself has accomplished and become.
3:50 Jeff just Turing into a monkey😭😭
I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING these collabs with Dr Mike
Wow can we take a minute to appreciate Jeff's shoulder mobility.
I literally just came across these two chaps’ channels and feel blessed to have watched this collab! I hope they do more! Thnx, guys! 🙏🏽
I love how humble you are just there to learn as well even though you know so much, love it thanks for this
Dr. Mike changed many things in my workouts, I can see and feel the difference! Love this collab !
This guy is amazing, I've been a fan for years. I haven't watched any of his videos since I stopped going to the gym. That's been 7 years, and now I'm back for my first week. I was a bit confused about what shoulder exercises to do because I'm no longer able to do what I used to. Thankfully, this video helped me out a lot. I'm going to let go of my ego and focus on control and tension. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Despite being weak as hell coming out of surgery Mike's science has changed everything about my training over the past few years and the results of it as well, with some muscle groups finally developing where they never have before.
Always super happy to see him promoted more. Such a generous master of his craft giving away this level of knowledge for free. And what a sense of humour, and so handsome! Oh my.
I have been watching your videos for years and I absolutely loved this one because of the “bloopers” at the end. Makes it feel more real and enjoyable. Thanks again for great content Jeff💪🏼
Best duo ever, I cant describe how much I appreciate your effort, Thanks champ
Dr. Mike and Jeff collabs will always be a good time.
Hey Jeff, your videos are always a game changer! I tried incorporating the rear delt cable flies into my routine after watching this one, and oh my, what a difference! The stretch on my rear delts is unreal, and I can really feel the burn. Thanks for sharing these gems - they've taken my workouts to a whole new level. Your content is top-notch, and I appreciate the valuable tips you provide. Looking forward to more killer workouts and advice. Keep it up! 💪🔥
I'm sick in bed, setting up a new trainingsplan and all I wanna do right now is to try exactly those 3 exercises… Super nice video. Loved it!
I LOVE DR.MIKE for many reasons.
Okay, I feel a little better now. I swear I was just starting to implement a bar raise, inverted grip for front delts. And I kinda felt like a fool at first. But this has now cemented this movement into my regular shoulder workouts. Thanks guys! Gonna try the shoulder "sword draw. "
Having you 2 do a video together rocks !
I follow both and honestly you both give me best advice as I’m off to gym now and gonna raise up my cable rear delta as I was forehead level.
Can’t wait to feel results.
Thanks for working together, look forward to more .
Just when you think you're already learning so much from Dr Mike, he pull another wisdom. This guy is a legend.
I wish you'd upload more, these videos are so helpful tbh. I get that these videos are hard to make tho.
Jeff I love your videos. I found Dr. Mike first and then came across your channel afterwards and the two of you have been a huge help for my workouts. I’ve only been back in the gym for 6 weeks and I’m seeing huge gains already and it’s all because of the things I have learned from my Dr. Mike and you so thank you!
10:53 this posing side by side right here is all the motivation i'll ever need to stay natty
I unfortunately gave up my natty status back in high school without much thought but I agree with you. Even though I've never used that much, or that frequently, I've come to believe natty is the by far the best way to go. If I had it to do over again that's what I would do. And I agree that the side by side - of enhanced Mike and natty Jeff - makes a great case for the natty path. 👍
@@Alex-gb7sm What's crazy too is that 1. Mike looks just slightly taller 2. Has been training for longer 3. Has more advanced hypetrophy training knowledge 4. trains purely for hypertrophy where as Jeff is a powerbuilder. If all those things were also equal then the comparison would likely be even closer
@@Alex-gb7smeh whatever bro. people remember success and health. and if you're good/great enough people will make up ANNYYY excuses for you. be a good model and stay honest and you'll find your true fans AND your true friends I bet that
Jeff's like the Dr Stone of weight lifting. Doing everything with science. Good job.
i love how relax Mike is with Jeff , almost as if they've known each other for a life time 🙌🏾
05:43 Jeff using the forbidden emote.
Not the Fühers' Forearm 😭
lmao😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
I've basically narrowed down my weightlifting content to Jeff and Dr. Mike. What else do you need? Just such a wealth of knowledge, research, and best practices with 0% bullshit.
I like Jonni Shreve too though 🫡
@@Matthew.E.Kelly. Jonni is great, no doubt. Sean Nalewanyj too. There are lots of great resources, but for the nerd in me, Mike and Jeff are the crème de la crème.
Natural Hypertrophy is also a great channel too. Although he is less known
Alex leonidas is dope too
A duo we never knew we needed
With access to Jeff, Mike and a few others, no one should train poorly. What we would have given for this information back in the day.
10:38 Jeff got embarrassed lmao
My 2 Go Tos for science based fitness advice. I cannot stress how much these two helped me already within 2 month of getting back to the gym after years of hiatus.
Front
-Seated machine shoulder press (or seated dumbbell)
-EZ bar front raise (or free cable machine)
Side
-Super ROM lateral
-Cross body cable y raise
Rear
-Super ROM reverse cable fly
-Reverse pec deck
❤
what are the reps and sets?
. 😮.. 😅٩😢🎉🎉٨خ😮٨٠٠ ٠😢٨٨🎉٦😢٩
1:40 I think actually that u might’ve gone over in another video but there is research showing that partial reps in the stretched position are more effective and less taxing than a full range of motion
I've struggled finding the right shoulder exercises for me but adding some of these has resulted in some of the best shoulder workouts I've ever had super grateful.
Haven't even started the video yet and I know its going to be great. Your videos are always packed with so much info and I am here for it. Also here for pumpkin delts soooo let's goooo
0:11 looks like a pair of shaved hobbits after a tren cycle.
Lmao 🤣 underrated comment
That's right dude they gonna fly with those tren wings
Hahahaha
😂
😂😂😂
Love Jeff n mike... pt been under a bit of family stress so these guys have been massively helping me mix things up
A masterclass on training triceps would be awesome
1:31 I'd watch this exercise all day
Today I did exactly same sequence. Believe me this set hits differently, total 3d is on fire. Thanks to Jeff for this collab.
Those squats were great , I loved the the tempo and the re-racking tehnique . Such marvelous movement from top to bottom. Awesome video as usual! Keep it up!
Weird hack for rear delts I figured out accidentally. Single arm rope face pulls. If you struggle to connect to your rear delts, give these a shot, especially if you have imbalances. I've never felt such a strong contraction as I do with these. Downside is they take twice as long to perform since they're unilateral, but since rear delts recover quickly you can almost just switch sides without any rest between sets.
I get rotator cuff tightness from doing too many reverse pec deck or cable pull apparts for rear delts, but never have issues with face pulls (plus they hit your rotator cuff and make your shoulders feel nice).
I need to thank both of you for this exercise, today I tried it and had craziest delt pump ever, kudos!
Another tip for controlling the negative rather than tell yourself you're going to do another rep is just count the reps on the negative as opposed to the concentric, it really does help slow down those negatives
I do this👍
9:00 do the last rep as if youre going to do another, so that the last negative is coming too
So good having you two together on one video .. thanks
Bro told you are my nbr 1 and you completely ignored him 😂😂😂
As he should! We can laugh, but he's keeping it on track - big plus for me as a first-time watcher
Who else really wants a Jeff Nippard action figure? ✋
you're alone on this one, buddy.
I want mike’s naked body action figure
you are NOT alone on this one friend 🔥🔥
I want one
They would be in short supply
Just tried these modifications for cable lateral raise. Wow, best side delt pump I’ve had in a while. Keep up the good work!
Jeff, you ever think of doing a really heartfelt “How far I’ve come since day one” video? 4 million subscribers is crazy man. Been watching you since day 1 💯🙌🏽🙏🏽🔥
4:35 my shoulders sound like an elastic band snapping if I go even slightly above 90 degrees lol. How to solve?
These have totally unlocked shoulders, I am forever grateful.
Jeff: "Side delt training should account for 70-90% of shoulder training"
Also Jeff: **Makes side delt exercises account for 20% of shoulder training video**
Jokes aside- Great content
3:34 “Cameraman being a Man of Culture” moment
Brooo how did u notice😂
I love how you guys not only give scientific explanations, but also articulate to where it is straight forward - easy to understand advice. Absolutely love these videos. Bravo 🙌
2:47 For the front delt raises could we do the same exercise but using one dumbbell gripping both sides?
Man I love Mike and his intelligence about exercising the body, these are golden for me
Jeff you just said in your last video that the most important part of the lift is the lenghted part, in this video the exercise chosen by Israetel really emphasize the shortened part (like the super rom latera raise or the reverse cable fly) Wouldn't be better to focus on exercise that load the stretch part of the delt more? I'm getting confused.
Bodybuilding industry is bro science
It's hard to load the delts in the lengthened position with free weights. Like Mike said, use a cable machine if you have one. A way to target the lengthened position with dumbbells is to lean over (like, laying on a bench), but then you might have to do the exercise unilaterally. So there's a tradeoff, do you do the slightly more optimal movement even though it will take longer? People will have different answers to that question.
mike said to do it cause it's REALLY good for mind muscle connection but wont cost much reps. That equals more pump equals more metabolites so it's worth to do in this case. Also lengthened partials are better or same for MUSCLE GROWTH. Full ROM is better for injury prevention and joint health.
There's a focus on the peak concentric contraction in many of these exercises with a squeeze and pause which emphasizes the shortening of it, that is true, but the thing Mike emphasizes more than anything is the slow eccentric and the whole 'milking' of the muscle you see in all of the exercises, which is focusing on keeping constant tension on the muscle as it lengthens out. That is where the magic typically happens. Slow slow slow don't drop your weights control the full rep!
3:35 cheeky camera move
This video, for where I'm at in my fitness journey, is absolute perfection. I've also had some joint issues over the years from work. So, having someone explain motion and technique is super important for me. Thank you
3:50 what is bro doing
4:37 The Real #1 😂
I hate the pain but I also love it. It's a complicated relationship.
@1:00 why is this man so red?
Tanning
Tanning.. To show muscle definition properly in competition
he is sweet and sour flavor

2:50 Totally stopped paying attention for a minute there. Sorry.
