the amount of quality knowledge you can get for free by people like dr mike sometimes feels like cheating or something,the journey has been amazing in the past few months and i cant thank you guys enough
My leg days have been shortened to 4 exercises, and really, I don't go over that for any other of my muscle groups. I'm 17, and I think with resources like yourself and others, I have an easier time making progress in my lifting career. Thx a lot!
@@Jafmanz @Jafman I do squats, ham curls, leg press, bulgarians, and a calf exercise. 2nd leg day is more hamstring focused with RDL, front squat, seated ham curl and leg extensions (+calf).
Starting at 14:28 - I actually really like seeing that you guys don't cram in a bunch of different movements. I don't have time for that shit. It was at one time discouraging to think I'd never progress unless I was in the gym 2+ hours knocking out 40 sets in one workout. The techniques you teach for drawing out hypertrophy from 2-4 movements in a session are very helpful.
I have reduced number of exercises for back from 5 to 3, and from 3 sets to 2 sets per exercise. As long as your intensity is 100% and squeeze every two, you don’t need much to stimulate
I can't believe how much RP has grown since I first heard of them about 11 years ago and am so pleased to see how many people are benefitting from all this awesome free advice now.
Another really good aspect of assisted pullups that wasn't mentioned is it takes the swing and movement out of it. Instantly makes it into a more controlled machine like exercise.
I do like how unassisted pull-ups work core stability, but idk if that has anything to do with hypertrophy whatsoever. It just feels functional. But I will start using assisted to warm up and perhaps for drop sets.
Love the minimalist approach to training. I’ve put it into practice my self using your templates. At first I w as like WTF?? Now I’m 4 weeks in and I’m like holy shit. This really works.
14:28 I can't tell you how much this advice has changed my training. I used to do a PPL split with 3-4 exercises pre muscle group. (Meaning on push day, I would be doing 9-12 exercises total.) Now I just do 2 exercises for most muscle groups, sometimes even just 1, and have had considerably better progress.
Squats, hack squats, and hamstring curls are my current only leg training, can fit pants, and have veins coming to surface. Switching to HIT training next week with similar approach and more rest.
@@Billybobaggins9 Yeah I changed my leg day to just leg press and leg curls and just had to buy new jeans and pants lol. Been seeing great results with less exercises for sure.
A beautiful display of true training. No shenanigans, flashy showy shit, extra unnecessary work... Just science and grind. The way Heisenberg would have wanted it to be. RIP Mr. H.
You have completely changed my attitude the amount of weight I'm trying to move when in the gym. If I'd have found this content when I was in my 20s (in my 50s now) I would have been WAAY more interested in weightlifting. And its even more important for me now as injury is my #1 enemy.
These guys have quantum leaped my workouts. Many of us could say that we wasted many years of lifting until we ran into this channel. For example my squats went from and I hated squats 175 of 10 reps to I love squats of 10 reps at 350 - It taxes my nervous system though. Sometimes I feel like I need a breathing machine after those sets
I love the templates but hate using excel, so I literally reverse engineered the whole spreadsheet and wrote my own app in Python. Now it looks like that was a waste of time 😂
I have a tweaked hip into my lower back that I'm working on with my PT. First I am sorry Sir Feathers, cause you are a knight to me, injuries are super frustrating. Second I appreciate seeing a professional work around something. There aren't many videos of people having to work around an injury. LOVE YOU RP!!
Yes, you can find free information on everywhere on exercise, weights, etc. Most of it feels fake with everyone trying to sell you something. Dr. Mike is doing something right. Using what I’ve heard and learned from him, even if it’s something I already knew, has helped me a ton. Thank you and Keep doing what you’re doing
Warm up sets have become way more important the older I get. About to be 30, although I’m still young, I definitely can’t just go right into certain lifts without a few warm up sets.
Warm up is always necessary for very high intensity movements (very heavy weight, sprinting etc) but don’t psychologically limit yourself with nocebo believes! 30 is perfectly very young, the internet has just included you otherwise
The fact that the there is only 1 year that separates us makes me feel vastly under accomplished, but damn you are wonderful to watch and learn from. Thank you for the quality content 🎉 💙
I've been doing pull ups -> assisted pull ups for a few months now. Once week 5 for 0 rir with 4 sets back to back show up, it's brutal game time in my head.
Loved this type of video actually showing how you workout and the exercises you use. Do you have more of these for other bodyparts? - if not, please make more of this type of content.
Glad to see Dr. Mike repping the apps and membership more. As long as he doesn't go over board and start screaming at the top of his lungs about RP's new cookbook filled with grilled cheese sandwich recipes. "BUY MY FRICKIN RP COOK BOOK!!!"
He actually has a book, but when he talks about it he keeps the shilling minimal. I think he is uncomfortable with aggressive selling methods where you sell your soul to the devil... *Cough* Mr Doucette *cough*
i like that with all the knowledge i've learnt and then applied from RP to my personal workouts has led to me and Dr Mike having v similar back workouts
Mike Mike Mike... My comment was meant to go on the previous video Deadlift with Jan, but (pun intended), I forgot. We "newbies" (not me, of course) find this channel incredibly helpful since we get to see you coach. Those are high level trainees, and that's the problem. Grab a newbie and shows us how's is done. As a long time viewer of the channel and not a Member yet ( It costs alot to support my 3 brand new Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae you feel me?, of course you do ), it will help a lot to these people in here. Thanks for the laughs p.s. dont stand under a direct source of light.
Loved the video. Simple, is not always exciting, but can be more effective than people think. Can’t wait for the app. The RP diet app was a game changer for me, sign for me up for the beta 🎉
What are those straps? Pls 😢 Ty alot for your content. Don’t ever stop! Keep em’ coming. Best out there #1 I’ve Improved in so many ways just watching your vids Best regards from Denmark 🇩🇰
I've totally come to the same conclusion of liking the thing that gives me the best results. I'll adore the most monotonous, torturous movements; loving the burn and fatigue that means growth weeks down the line.
After adding in more and more exercises to my workout routines so they reach somewhat like 3 hours for years i really like seeing that you don't overcomplicate it. I think i trained more effective when i didn't know what was going on and based on this vid i might try a simplification of my workout as well. You guys are noice.
Hey Dr Mike, I'm really interested in the 2x a day training workout split, would you ever do a video explaining how to create your own 2x a day training program?
@JonTaro that is true it would be a rough guideline not really a program. And no, he teased the upcoming workout app in the video that’s what I was referring to
Hey RP guys, I wanted to share that the RP diet coach and meal planner is unavailable for my region (India). But I hope the RP training app will be available for the India region because I would love to use it for my training. I hope this comment reaches you. Thank you.
I'm 52. When I was in my 20s, the most pullups I can do was under 15 pullups. Now I struggle to do 5! As Dr. Mike suggested, I don't care how many reps I do as long as they are good ones. I then follow however many reps I do on my own, with band pullups, then I take it a step further and do a set of pulldowns. I could do pullups everyday as a warmup in the morning to increase my reps on the pullup if it's beneficial? Otherwise, I can just do a combo of my own with a band set.
Thank you for the video I tried this idea of back workout for myself and see what your talking about in regards to the assented pull-ups. Thanks for the great information and this wonderful and difficult workout only using the two and a 1/2 exercises
Hey Dr Mike and everyone at RP! Loving the content btw tons of what we call on PT land "clinical pearls" in these training videos, please keep putting these up. Secondly, if you're looking for beta testers for the exercise log app you showed off please sign me up!! I'm very interested! Thank you!!
What do you think if the 50 pull-ups on back day for 46 male (me)? I warm up with scap pulls on the lat pull down machine, assisted, then 5 reps of bw pulls, 3 reps at 1/2 my training weight, 1 rep at training eight, then 3 sets 8-10 reps weighted, then bw pulls until a total of 50.
Hi @Dr. Mike, two questions: 1. How would you recommend warming up for pull-ups for someone in a garage gym that doesn't have assisted pull-ups or cable pull-down machines? 2. Do you do any warming up before your assisted pull-ups or are you totally cold at that point? Thank you 🙌
Jeff Nippard has a video on warming up ruclips.net/video/Hdc7Mw6BIEE/видео.html You can attact a band to your pull up bar and do what he does with a cable in the video.

It definitely looks like just the app version of the templates. It is also clear financially, since they sell many templates quite high, so will not make sense to release a completely different model..
I sometimes have to workout at home, and I dont have a pull down machine or assisted pull ups, what would be a good way to warm up then? I do have rings though would inverted rows work for warm up even though its a different movement?

Dude calm down, they smeker their products and get ad revenue in return, it's just fair.

Same, if RP has taught me anything it's that less is more
@Jafman , My leg day one is RDL (Glute focused), Squat, and Sumo Box Squat. Leg day two is Squat, RDL, and Lunge.

Frequency is key. 2-3 movements a session is good and bump up volume with frequency
Yea man..Junk volume is real.. haha

3:18 So relatable. Surprises me every time when, despite feeling weak during the warmup, I somehow manage to do the heavier stuff later.
My favorite father and son fitness channel
"I learn to like the thing that gives me the best results." Nice quote there!
Love the brutal honesty... Especially as we get older, the warmup is so important. I can't believe I was such a fool when I was young.

Everyone should do a couple of warm up sets
Bro you're just 30 but youre talking like 50yo 😂 I'm 35 and would give my younger self run for his money
Age doesnt matter. Warmup is absolutely necessary for everyone that works out.
Warm up is always necessary for very high intensity movements (very heavy weight, sprinting etc) but don’t psychologically limit yourself with nocebo believes! 30 is perfectly very young, the internet has just included you otherwise

I love how Jared's best way to annoy Dr. Mike is to compliment him.
i like that with all the knowledge i've learnt and then applied from RP to my personal workouts has led to me and Dr Mike having v similar back workouts
I’ll start using the assisted machine to warm up and humble myself and do assisted pull-ups after. Then hit rows and smaller groups. Good stuff.
Thanks for showing your workout. Seeing you suffer close to 0 RIR makes me feel a lot better about behaving similarly in the gym
I saved the world Dr. Mike. Thanks for the help.

"How do I know what I'm gonna be training? Bottom Left."
Bottom left: **431 angry missed calls from jared telling him to stop sandbagging**
Impressive how many pull ups you got with how big you are. Especially, because full ROM reps
Finally, I get to see inside Dr. Mike. Please keep releasing such content, and also start releasing some of the children in your basement.
Thank you for the video I tried this idea of back workout for myself and see what your talking about in regards to the assented pull-ups. Thanks for the great information and this wonderful and difficult workout only using the two and a 1/2 exercises
Allready have a good training app. But I look forward to trying RP
Hands up if you're f***ing hard for the RP training app. Been hunting for a smart app like Jugg AI for ages.
I want that app so damn bad!!
2:50 I always wondered about that. Especially on pull-ups the first bodyweight set feels terrible.
When is the RP training app release date?
More of this pls

"RP Training App"...salivating...
Good video as always. But the main question - what is the intro song called?
When's the app available?
What’re your thoughts on training your bakc every other day like 2x db Pulliver 4 sets vertical pulls and 3 sets rows 3x a week
Flip flops and white socks are the way to grow. Crazy what sports physiology teaches you.
How to get sweeping lats like Steve’s reeves/ how to grow mid to upper lats as that’s what I see to affect aesthetics vtaper
When will the app have sets and reps available??
Do you hit low back during your back days or during your lower posterior days?
What do you think if the 50 pull-ups on back day for 46 male (me)? I warm up with scap pulls on the lat pull down machine, assisted, then 5 reps of bw pulls, 3 reps at 1/2 my training weight, 1 rep at training eight, then 3 sets 8-10 reps weighted, then bw pulls until a total of 50.
I love pullups i am the master but i have to say going all the way down to a full stretch puts the shoulder clavicle in a compromised position imho

When’s the app going to be ready?
Does dr Mike have a tutorial on How To Vacuum?

Is the App going to be like a phone version of the templates? Would be great if people who bought templates could get the same ones on the app for free, considering how expensive they were
It definitely looks like just the app version of the templates. It is also clear financially, since they sell many templates quite high, so will not make sense to release a completely different model..
When are you releasing the new app
RP Training app when? I've almost got my trillion saved up!
Your great man
When will the RP Training App be available?
I sometimes have to workout at home, and I dont have a pull down machine or assisted pull ups, what would be a good way to warm up then? I do have rings though would inverted rows work for warm up even though its a different movement?
Put your foot on something to hold a portion of your weight. It’s not as good as assisted but it works
Inverted rows are great, but u can also buy a band or 2 and wrap them around the pull up bar and foot for assisted that way
More like this!
