I joined my college's debate club but could never win a single debate. Then I started training arms 3 times a week and every time my opponent starts talking I stand behind them doing a double bicep pose. I haven't lost since. In fact usually the judges will call my competitor a nerd and tell them to get off the stage so they can see my arms better before the debate is even finished.
The unhinged humor from Dr. Mike is as powerful as his knowledge of the human body and hypertrophy. I think my career would have taken a different path if I ever had him as a teacher or professor.
I’m trying to watch this video discretely behind my desk at work and I gave myself away like 5 times from laughing out loud. He’s on one today and I’m for it.
Okay boys this one is a banger, 6-7 laugh out loud moments. Seamless delivery, rapid fire homo erotic and self deprecating humor mixed in with unparalleled knowledge, that is when you know you're watching another Dr. Mike masterpiece.
I think it’s the perfect question where everything is just his own personal opinion rather than having to temper his sense of humour to give factual advice haha
This video did not change my training whatsoever, as I try to train everything. However, it changed my life with all of these incredibly accurate real-world examples. Brought a tear to my eye, Dr. Mike. Thank you.
Saw a guy while at work that checked all of the boxes in this video, and while I didn't spend my break on my knees in the bathroom, I certainly was tempted
“Accurate real-world examples” lol did you even watch the video? 😂 he’s making jokes left and right i mean rip of a soap dispenser and drink it?? Lmfao
When I was in college, I used to attend a spin class of mostly women. The instructor (also a woman), noticed some guys quads and called them out in front of the entire class. "Wow! Look at those quads. Tell me I'm not crazy ladies." The entire class of women collectively sighed in agreement, and since then I've never skipped a leg day.
Y'know what's funny, I do leg day to piss of my gf cus I have a better dumpy than her. So yes lads, never skip leg days you could only get good things from it
Same bro, I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic and some guy walked out the gym with massive legs and nearly every chick in their cars couldn’t stop looking.
I was getting my biggest body transformation at 2021 and I was posting photos at my IG stories. There was photo of my back, abs, v-shape and I almost got none likes and comment from girl, the most were gay men. But one day, I was actually afraid of showing my legs because of the quantity of gay men commenting at my stories and then I did. Bro, the hottest women in IG commented that shit, I was gladly impress.
Love when Mike is on Tren he is totally unhinged and I am here for it. It has to be the case, I get like this when I am tren'n. His comment about stealing his girl, then the dude being gay, and still being down to steal the dudes dude, yeah that is pure tren mentality. Pretty much would bang a fresh hole into a cement driveway. Legendary stuff. Mike I just fell into your YT content by the way and absolutely love the mildly condescending, reasonably dry, yet ridiculous humor, hits about the same way mine does, actually helped my wife understand my humor a little bit more whenever I watch your videos and she can hear them. Quality blend of humor, science based guidance, and honesty toward PEDs. Keep it up Doc!!
Yeah! I think in a female version you could also talk about which body parts seem to develop more from direct training in your experience coaching females. Curious to see how everyone’s experience compares
I have to disagree. The dude literally uses middle school humor and targets an audience that only cares about looking big to get laid rather than actually being healthy.
@@Malmorious You must be a newbie. He gives loads of advice on fat loss. Making people laugh is a task in itself that doesn't come naturally to most people. His humor is funny because he is authentically himself and doesn't care what you think or comment. He is hilarious.
One of, if not THE most entertaining fitness videos I've ever seen (18+ years of watching RUclips fitness). This dude has the winning formula. Change NOTHING.
I'm so glad you brought up Dildo raises, its such an underrated exercise for your side delts. I would do them 3-4x a week with a slow and controlled tempo and my shoulders blew up! A nice hard workout for sure.
I prefer dildo rides, 4-5x a week, i feel bigger everytime once i do those and it helps with my constipation problem too, it really is the big and best shit
This is basically my routine. If I do legs they outpace the rest of my body. Just do reverse lunges, quad extensions, rdls and hamstring curls in the +/- 15 rep range at the end of my push or pull days.
Something to add to your back being important for adding size to your look is that when your lats start sticking out to the sides , it presses up against the insides of the biceps and triceps, forcing your arms to rest further out from your body, and adds to your overall width 🦍
@@yash.on.strollnah but your triceps also get pushed out by trees major, so if you have well developed tr. Long head you get crazy thick look from side and back. Also rear delts super important for width from any angle other than directly front on.
On Aug 8th 2024 at 1059pm PST I laughed out loud while listening to Dr Mike’s set about the Olive Garden bathroom. It was just 10 minutes after my wife put my baby daughter to sleep. She was mad. It was worth it.
I know I’m late to the game but this is my first time seeing this man on RUclips.. is he always this hilarious?! He’s great and I can’t wait to watch more as I’m feeling motivated for tomorrows workout! 🍻🤙🏽
This is the greatest channel of all time. I have to say I agree completely with this list and man, when folks check you out its so worth the effort lol
Dude you are the funniest fitness youtuber i've seen LOL. Also extremely informational. The fact that you never trained neck is crazy, most influencers make it seem like it's something you have to do. Now I don't have to be as worried about it, all this time I was thinking that if I didn't do neck isolated exercises, it wouldn't grow naturally and would just look weird. But since you said it grows from back exercises anyways, that's great to know!
I agree 100% with Dr MIke. For me I have to train legs because I suffer from the noassatall genetic disorder. Like negative ass. My pants had a hard time staying up. It's not a good look with pants on or without, trust me. Believe it or not, it use to hurt my back because of lack of cushion. But since I've been training legs I've noticed a considerable improvement in back pain and my look. It's not remarkable or anything but it at least is something.
Aesthetic physique (with clothes on): 1. Shoulders 2. Neck (always visible) 5. Back + traps: I see some guys with great chest genetics and no back. It really does look off, whilst for the other way around this isn’t the case. So i’d say back will give you the most bang for your buck in overall aesthetics. 6. Forearms 7. Tricep/Biceps
Love Dr Mike, as knowledgeable as he is, he applies it proof of concept but most important is his self effacing comments revealing his deep insecurities. His training and channel in turn serve as an example of how to cope in a positive and productive manner - we need more people like this who don’t succumb to blaming others for their inadequacies or worse yet, hurt others for their lack of ownership.
Great video Dr. Mike! As someone with broad shoulders and long arms, I can not agree more with point 2. It is impossible to look jacked with skinny arms. It was not until I started training arms a lot more, that I finally put on enough thickness to look jacked in clothes.
@@checmatetv7179 I am pretty sure the biceps have two components while the triceps have three, bi and tri. Now the reason I hit the biceps with more direct work is simply that my triceps respond more to the compound pressing movements on the upper days than my biceps do the compound pulling movements.
Your app DOES NOT suck Dr Mike and Crew I'm doing the full body preloaded cycle. I've noticed I'm getting hella stronger doing my normal things and the house and at work.
Iv been working out on and off since I was 15 and currently have gotten back into. generally, i find exercise videos infos etc. boring asf. but your humour makes these videos engaging and fresh and good to listen to :) thank you
Thanks to this video, I've started "Inverted Squats": rather than put a bar on my shoulders and pushing the ground with my legs, I simply push the ground with my arms and put the bar on my feet. People are starting to watch me a lot during this exercise. They probably think: "Man, this guy is buffed".
I love Dr. Mike’s way of presenting his vast earned knowledge in a humorous way, people usually retain good information better when presented in an entertaining way. He is accomplished enough in education, experience and success that he could put on a thick air but he seems fine to have fun even at his own expense while throwing nuggets of truth in there.
Thanks for this video. I’m just getting back into the gym after an illness. (Don’t get old, Mike) I watched this video and it was really helpful. I also appreciate your humor. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Thanks for the information and the laughs. You’re a stud.
Forearms are not important. Many bodybuilders get away with having small forearms like Arnold and Kai green. But they are so jacked everywhere else, that nobody cares. This is also the reason why pro bodybuilders don't train forearms directly.
I agree! Just one side note for novices. Dont forget how important the triceps are for building big arms, triceps have more muscle mass than the biceps do, so lets not neglects them
Hey Dr Mike! i don't know if you read the comments, but your videos brings joy and invaluable information to the "lifting" community! so we appreciate you! love from Canada
It would be interesting to see a video on training under suboptimal conditions and what to expect of it, like low protein intake(lower rhan 30g), low sleep, or other factors
Sounds like me. Low protein, only train calisthenics due to no access to gym and low sleep (I definitely need to improve it). That's what happens when you live in a third world country lol. I still build muscle slowly, although I'm still young.
@@LF12468 Bro I live in a shitty college dorm, how tf am I supposed to find a live chicken 💀 My dream is buying all the protein and equipment I'm missing out 🤤 someday when I have enough money.
@@frog6054 A dorm feels like exactly the kind of place to find someone living with a live chicken. LOL. But yeah protein supplements aren't cheap. I dunno how much you know about your alternate source of protein: Lentils are 30% protein by calories, black beans are about 25% - though animal sources are more easily processed.
Very good list, have a buddy who is about 165 lean has a decent chest and arms for a smaller guy, but he used to swim. So his V-taper is insane, especially from the back his side delts and lats are popping out everywhere the combo is OP
Genetics can help a ton. I know I have very naturally wide shoulders and short femurs, my upper body just naturally looks much bigger and wider without trying lol
I'd really appreciate a female variant of this video, it would help me when choosing what exercises I should be doing. Thank you so much for your content by the way, the humor is spot on for making me burst out laughing every time 🤣
He is basically saying train how you dress. In other words what you expect the way you shape to be mostly pronounce even if it's not your choice but brings attention to how fit you look. For females usually a top back out dress so do alot of upper back and rear delta. You have small breast do alot of upper chest or peck deck fly. Whether you wear shoulder pad sleeves or just shoulderless dresses side delta movements the same. Legs & glutes are always a given for females, us guys notice right away. Some sort of super set for arms mostly tricep though to keep the back of your arms from looking flabby. Any routine you make with this in mind and everything else around it should be helpful.
I'd say 1 glutes 2 shoulders (side and rear delts, in that order) 3 quads 4 upper back. I think most People tend to be aware of those muscles to say x is a fit woman. I don't think training chest brings breasts up or out as much to be noticeable. Everybody notices glutes, and the v taper from shoulders and lats can ve really impressive. And quads Will make sure your legs are noticed from up front.
@@martindamasseno5164 it's not to bring up chest, its to get rid of the hard collard bone, and bare in mind breast is mainly fatty tissue so any type of firmness adds to the look in a bra. Note I said train how you dress.
After changing my training philosophy and emphasis from: Chest to Delt (Rear Delt Specifically) Biceps to Triceps (Long Head Specifically) Lats to Traps (Upper Specifically) Quads to Posterior Chain + Adductors (Glutes Specifically) Neck Forarms I started to look jacked in 2 months It's tough to realise with below average bone structure, it's hard to pull off a frank zane "aesthetic" physique, but I look as good as ever, people notice Im getting jacked now.
@@turnippatrol4607 Might be a long read, enjoy. Introduced: -Neck Curls 3x12-24 / x2 week -Rear Delt work at least x2 week, x3 is perfect (Reverse Pec Deck + Face Pulls are beautiful!) Rear delt cable rows: Narrow - Medium grip width (15-45⁰ elbow flare), Row above belly to not engage lats, keep shoulder blades stationary to not engage traps, focus on moving the upper arm without moving the torso, go into hyper shoulder extension. -OHP the premise that "You do not need front delt specific work because it works in all presses🤓" is stupid, If that's true why do triceps work? It does hit the side delt too and significantly!! And in a streched position. OHP and Lateral Raises is a 1+1=3 combo, you need both. -Forarm work: Brachioradialis and Flexors (Reverse Curl, Preacher Hammer, Wrist Curls behind the back) -Power Shrugs: Most Game changer in my physique, wasted 7months on "strict" shrugs and rows didn't do shit for my traps, 4 sessions of power Shrugs blew up my upper/ mid traps now there is a bulge on my back, Fuck the squeeze. Went from 30kg strict to 90kg Power Shrug, all that matter is cheating the weight up and letting the traps catch it down, insane stretch, you will be sore for days, but work up to it, don't slap extra 40kg on your shrug right away. - Match your overhead extension volume with your curls on top of your presses for the triceps, "Big Bench=Big Triceps" is a joke. - RDL Got Rid of/Replaced/Changed: - Strict Shrugs 🗑️ - Reduced Chest Volume (Grew Bigger Ironically) - Replaced Flat Bench with Incline and got humbled turns out my flat strength was inflated with technique + great front delt exercise. - Only 6sets of Biceps "specific" curls (Forarm work not included), split onto x2 a week - Deadlift Conclusion: Do not be afriad to experiment and do things others don't do, don't be afriad of having different physique goals than the norm, never take the advice of vitamin "S" users on trap training 😂, don't fall for the powerlifting dogma as a bodybuilder, Good Luck getting Jacked!
Got this video link sent to me by a friend. Did I just go through some sort of wormhole into an alternate universe where another version of myself made a video? Or do I have a long lost mentor I’ve never met? I’ve never heard more truth in 18 minutes in my entire life. I literally would not have changed a single thing you said, not even the order, and I’ve been working out for 34 years straight. I’ve subscribed and I pledge my allegiance to King Dr Mike. 💪👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸😂👍🇺🇸
Razor sharp mind, wicked sense of humor, boundless knowledge - got it all doc! Despite your success in the BB world - would be a sensation in Vegas (or anywhere for that matter), due to your comedic prowess and excellent timing!!!
Dr. Mike, haven’t seen you since the Arnold, thanks for calling me big and jacked again! Strongman Training has led to much more shoulder training. I wonder could you make a video on a view point I’ve heard: Some people think over head pressing is bad because of bone anatomy, however I actually feel amazing from doing more over head pressing instead of just benching. Thanks for the video more shoulder training of the side delts to come for me!
Nice one. Yes, make one for women. Was trying to guess as you went down the list - definitely thought shoulders would be number 1. Got down to 4 and was split between lats and traps.
@@Xolerys I wouldn't say abs is a bonus. It's a fundamental point. When I see a woman with well-defined abs, that's the thing that impresses me the most. There is nothing alluring about a woman's stomach even if it's small. But if you got those abs out, yeah, imma be swooning.
Back shoulders neck Those create the frame for what makes you look huge. If you lack in any of those you immediately appear smaller. Everything else after those 3 is just bonus If you were a long sleeve shirt your chest might not show well. But if you’re wide and have a thick neck you appear huge
Hey Dr.Mike! Great video as always, I know this is super off topic, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on exercising/training while sick, whether or not its worth it or even good for you. I know its probably super nuanced or maybe its not?
Hey mike, not sure if youve done this topic yet, but I figure I’d throw it out there. “What is the fastest and most effective way to achieve the most defined look 24-48 hours prior to an event?” Im not talking about just fat loss, but water manipulation, training style, what foods to eat etc. I’m not a competitive bodybuilder, but for days where I need to look my best, I want some pro tips for achieving my best look for that day. Thanks!
Not saying that wouldn't be a cool standalone video, but he goes over that towards the end of his spring break video, if you wanna check that out. It might answer some of your questions.
I agree with everything except the neck part. In winters/ when you wear baggy clothes, even if you have an intermediate's physique, if your neck is small, you'll look like you don't lift at all. Heck, Jeff Nippard with small neck looked like he didn't lift, in baggy clothes. He showed past photos in one of his videos.

What I learned here is skip legs train more upper body. Thanks Dr Mike
Actually it was, only skip legs if you want professional bodybuilders to think you're a clown. Noone else cares.
Chicken legs it is.
Yup, legs are pointless to train.
Yep, train upper body and lower body 2/1

5. Back + traps: I see some guys with great chest genetics and no back. It really does look off, whilst for the other way around this isn’t the case. So i’d say back will give you the most bang for your buck in overall aesthetics.
6. Forearms
7. Tricep/Biceps
BIG ARMS
Love Dr Mike, as knowledgeable as he is, he applies it proof of concept but most important is his self effacing comments revealing his deep insecurities. His training and channel in turn serve as an example of how to cope in a positive and productive manner - we need more people like this who don’t succumb to blaming others for their inadequacies or worse yet, hurt others for their lack of ownership.
I recommend everyone to find the book titled Testo 100; it goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life
i found that e book on your channel yesterday and buy
No.
Lmao, pretty desperate attempt at selling garbage with bought likes.
Is that the one that says to inject semen into your dick?
@@devilsadvocate2643how if its free?
This man is the voice in my head and how I speak at the same time. Giving me the confidence to mix up my online coaching with this part of me too
Great video Dr. Mike! As someone with broad shoulders and long arms, I can not agree more with point 2. It is impossible to look jacked with skinny arms. It was not until I started training arms a lot more, that I finally put on enough thickness to look jacked in clothes.
4 times per week ?
@@alsa374 Right now arms get hit 3 times per week. I am doing an Upper/Lower/Upper/Lower/Arms split. Biceps get 18 sets of direct work, Triceps 14.
18 ??? xDDD@@devlin76
@@devlin76I'd advise you to switch up that ratio remember triceps make up most of the arm(3 separate muscles)bicep is only 1
@@checmatetv7179 I am pretty sure the biceps have two components while the triceps have three, bi and tri. Now the reason I hit the biceps with more direct work is simply that my triceps respond more to the compound pressing movements on the upper days than my biceps do the compound pulling movements.
This is the first video of Dr. Mike and I’ve enjoyed every single minute of it. 14:15 made me Subscribe
Your app DOES NOT suck Dr Mike and Crew
I'm doing the full body preloaded cycle.
I've noticed I'm getting hella stronger doing my normal things and the house and at work.
Iv been working out on and off since I was 15 and currently have gotten back into. generally, i find exercise videos infos etc. boring asf. but your humour makes these videos engaging and fresh and good to listen to :) thank you
Thanks to this video, I've started "Inverted Squats": rather than put a bar on my shoulders and pushing the ground with my legs, I simply push the ground with my arms and put the bar on my feet.
People are starting to watch me a lot during this exercise. They probably think: "Man, this guy is buffed".
I love Dr. Mike’s way of presenting his vast earned knowledge in a humorous way, people usually retain good information better when presented in an entertaining way. He is accomplished enough in education, experience and success that he could put on a thick air but he seems fine to have fun even at his own expense while throwing nuggets of truth in there.
Thanks for this video. I’m just getting back into the gym after an illness. (Don’t get old, Mike) I watched this video and it was really helpful. I also appreciate your humor. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Thanks for the information and the laughs. You’re a stud.
One of the funniest videos I've ever seen! Informative, too! Thanks, Dr. Mike!!!
I just found this channel today and i love this guy… funny and super educational 😂😂😂😂 great work sir
Shoulder work is so underrated and paired with thick ass arms and forearms is insane. Forearms are very important imo
Forearms are not important. Many bodybuilders get away with having small forearms like Arnold and Kai green. But they are so jacked everywhere else, that nobody cares. This is also the reason why pro bodybuilders don't train forearms directly.
I cant even focus im just laughing all video, this guy is my new favorite fitness advisor
I agree! Just one side note for novices. Dont forget how important the triceps are for building big arms, triceps have more muscle mass than the biceps do, so lets not neglects them
Also the brachialis
If you shit hard enough, you can take your neck to failure each time you drop a log
If you jack your dick off to complete failure you can turn your chests into breasts
This right here made me lol!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Dr Mike! i don't know if you read the comments, but your videos brings joy and invaluable information to the "lifting" community! so we appreciate you! love from Canada
Dr Mike, thanks you changed my life!
It would be interesting to see a video on training under suboptimal conditions and what to expect of it, like low protein intake(lower rhan 30g), low sleep, or other factors
Sounds like me. Low protein, only train calisthenics due to no access to gym and low sleep (I definitely need to improve it). That's what happens when you live in a third world country lol. I still build muscle slowly, although I'm still young.
@@frog6054 same I'm asking because I'm in the same condition, living in the third world really difficults the protein intake
@@LF12468
Bro I live in a shitty college dorm, how tf am I supposed to find a live chicken 💀
My dream is buying all the protein and equipment I'm missing out 🤤 someday when I have enough money.
@@frog6054 A dorm feels like exactly the kind of place to find someone living with a live chicken. LOL. But yeah protein supplements aren't cheap. I dunno how much you know about your alternate source of protein: Lentils are 30% protein by calories, black beans are about 25% - though animal sources are more easily processed.
@@frog6054tuna and dairy bro, they’re the cheapest proteins I eat a lot of
Very good list, have a buddy who is about 165 lean has a decent chest and arms for a smaller guy, but he used to swim. So his V-taper is insane, especially from the back his side delts and lats are popping out everywhere the combo is OP
Genetics can help a ton. I know I have very naturally wide shoulders and short femurs, my upper body just naturally looks much bigger and wider without trying lol
@@BrofUJuhow can you tell your genetic limits
I'd really appreciate a female variant of this video, it would help me when choosing what exercises I should be doing. Thank you so much for your content by the way, the humor is spot on for making me burst out laughing every time 🤣
Ditto
He is basically saying train how you dress. In other words what you expect the way you shape to be mostly pronounce even if it's not your choice but brings attention to how fit you look. For females usually a top back out dress so do alot of upper back and rear delta. You have small breast do alot of upper chest or peck deck fly. Whether you wear shoulder pad sleeves or just shoulderless dresses side delta movements the same. Legs & glutes are always a given for females, us guys notice right away. Some sort of super set for arms mostly tricep though to keep the back of your arms from looking flabby. Any routine you make with this in mind and everything else around it should be helpful.
I'd say 1 glutes
2 shoulders (side and rear delts, in that order)
3 quads
4 upper back.
I think most People tend to be aware of those muscles to say x is a fit woman. I don't think training chest brings breasts up or out as much to be noticeable. Everybody notices glutes, and the v taper from shoulders and lats can ve really impressive. And quads Will make sure your legs are noticed from up front.
Legs and booty
@@martindamasseno5164 it's not to bring up chest, its to get rid of the hard collard bone, and bare in mind breast is mainly fatty tissue so any type of firmness adds to the look in a bra. Note I said train how you dress.
That’s why Predator won the award for greatest movie of all time. Big Arms everywhere.
Yes, please do a female version!!!
After changing my training philosophy and emphasis from:
Chest to Delt (Rear Delt Specifically)
Biceps to Triceps (Long Head Specifically)
Lats to Traps (Upper Specifically)
Quads to Posterior Chain + Adductors (Glutes Specifically)
Neck
Forarms
I started to look jacked in 2 months
It's tough to realise with below average bone structure, it's hard to pull off a frank zane "aesthetic" physique, but I look as good as ever, people notice Im getting jacked now.
Dildo raises 😂
Great job!
Can you share some of the exercises that you added? And maybe ones that you dropped or put on the backburner
@@turnippatrol4607 Might be a long read, enjoy.
Introduced:
-Neck Curls 3x12-24 / x2 week
-Rear Delt work at least x2 week, x3 is perfect (Reverse Pec Deck + Face Pulls are beautiful!)
Rear delt cable rows: Narrow - Medium grip width (15-45⁰ elbow flare), Row above belly to not engage lats, keep shoulder blades stationary to not engage traps, focus on moving the upper arm without moving the torso, go into hyper shoulder extension.
-OHP the premise that "You do not need front delt specific work because it works in all presses🤓" is stupid, If that's true why do triceps work?
It does hit the side delt too and significantly!!
And in a streched position.
OHP and Lateral Raises is a 1+1=3 combo, you need both.
-Forarm work: Brachioradialis and Flexors (Reverse Curl, Preacher Hammer, Wrist Curls behind the back)
-Power Shrugs: Most Game changer in my physique, wasted 7months on "strict" shrugs and rows didn't do shit for my traps, 4 sessions of power Shrugs blew up my upper/ mid traps now there is a bulge on my back, Fuck the squeeze.
Went from 30kg strict to 90kg Power Shrug, all that matter is cheating the weight up and letting the traps catch it down, insane stretch, you will be sore for days, but work up to it, don't slap extra 40kg on your shrug right away.
- Match your overhead extension volume with your curls on top of your presses for the triceps, "Big Bench=Big Triceps" is a joke.
- RDL
Got Rid of/Replaced/Changed:
- Strict Shrugs 🗑️
- Reduced Chest Volume (Grew Bigger Ironically)
- Replaced Flat Bench with Incline and got humbled turns out my flat strength was inflated with technique + great front delt exercise.
- Only 6sets of Biceps "specific" curls (Forarm work not included), split onto x2 a week
- Deadlift
Conclusion:
Do not be afriad to experiment and do things others don't do, don't be afriad of having different physique goals than the norm, never take the advice of vitamin "S" users on trap training 😂, don't fall for the powerlifting dogma as a bodybuilder, Good Luck getting Jacked!
What do you do for neck?
Got this video link sent to me by a friend. Did I just go through some sort of wormhole into an alternate universe where another version of myself made a video? Or do I have a long lost mentor I’ve never met? I’ve never heard more truth in 18 minutes in my entire life. I literally would not have changed a single thing you said, not even the order, and I’ve been working out for 34 years straight. I’ve subscribed and I pledge my allegiance to King Dr Mike. 💪👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸😂👍🇺🇸
Great content as usual Doc - your comedic chops on-point - you should consider doing stand-up
5:47 Your imagination is beyond incredible Dr Mike!
Razor sharp mind, wicked sense of humor, boundless knowledge - got it all doc! Despite your success in the BB world - would be a sensation in Vegas (or anywhere for that matter), due to your comedic prowess and excellent timing!!!
this was amazing... was laughing so hard that tears came in my mind... and still learned again something. Many thamks
I could never hate this man. He is the coach/father I never got to listen to. Best motivator
Listening to this during a back workout and I’m dropping weights and cracking up! A whole-heartedly agree!
this was a hilariously funny video AND as a woman myself, i can say the forearm stuff at 12:40 is spot on hahaha 😂 with exactly that demeanor as well
Your information is on point but its your delivery that's killer. Love your work!
No it isnt
Ok, this was comedic gold. Well done.
Bro, I used to watch you for the weight training advice, but now... we watch you for the comedy & entertainment! Got us over here rolling 😅
Dr. Mike, haven’t seen you since the Arnold, thanks for calling me big and jacked again!
Strongman Training has led to much more shoulder training.
I wonder could you make a video on a view point I’ve heard:
Some people think over head pressing is bad because of bone anatomy, however I actually feel amazing from doing more over head pressing instead of just benching.
Thanks for the video more shoulder training of the side delts to come for me!
He’s got at least one solid overhead press video
This has to be the funniest (and most informative!) fitness video I've ever seen! 😆
😅😅 This is the dopest video I’ve watched all year. Respect ✊🏾
Great vid Mike. Superseding humor expectations every time
Nice one. Yes, make one for women.
Was trying to guess as you went down the list - definitely thought shoulders would be number 1. Got down to 4 and was split between lats and traps.
Women is ez. Glutes, thighs, back. Bonus I'd say is abs , shoulders.
@@Xolerys I wouldn't say abs is a bonus. It's a fundamental point. When I see a woman with well-defined abs, that's the thing that impresses me the most. There is nothing alluring about a woman's stomach even if it's small. But if you got those abs out, yeah, imma be swooning.
@@aca347abs in women is mostly genetic, many women cant get down to such a low body fat% healthy.
This was absolute gold 😂😂 Legendary stuff Dr. Mike!!
That was truly hilarious!
Great video! Exceptional humor combined with serious content!
Kudos
Back shoulders neck
Those create the frame for what makes you look huge. If you lack in any of those you immediately appear smaller. Everything else after those 3 is just bonus
If you were a long sleeve shirt your chest might not show well. But if you’re wide and have a thick neck you appear huge
You are absolutely hilarious bro. Love the content but love how you put it across even more!
this video alone was worth the membership fee
One of your best works Mike🎉
This episode has better comedy than entire written comedy shows
I would say it also depends on the look you strive for. Big shoulders + big back and medium chest/arms give you a really athletic look
Yep,don't over develop chest it will take away the the v tape..Frank zane talked about this.
Like the Chinese weightlifters?
@@ronniemcclinton5615 do you have link to any video where he talks about this? I'd like to feel better about my small chest lmao
Back shoulders neck glutes ftw
Everything you said, just add big calves and medium thighs and perfect physique right there. Calves > thighs IMO
You are great. Informative, knowledgeable, and funny as hell.
i was calling them out before you started with number one. totally agree
Hey Dr.Mike! Great video as always, I know this is super off topic, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on exercising/training while sick, whether or not its worth it or even good for you. I know its probably super nuanced or maybe its not?
Sleep and fast, you'll get well in two days.
Hey mike, not sure if youve done this topic yet, but I figure I’d throw it out there. “What is the fastest and most effective way to achieve the most defined look 24-48 hours prior to an event?” Im not talking about just fat loss, but water manipulation, training style, what foods to eat etc. I’m not a competitive bodybuilder, but for days where I need to look my best, I want some pro tips for achieving my best look for that day. Thanks!
Not saying that wouldn't be a cool standalone video, but he goes over that towards the end of his spring break video, if you wanna check that out. It might answer some of your questions.
He discussed this at the end of the video "How To Make A Big Visual Change To Your Body Quickly!". Roughly 15:45 is where it starts
Bro! Pure good! Humor,knowledge, phd, dr Mike it’s the way
You always make me motivated to workout with the way you talk about being jacked. You're clearly passionate about it
3:50 bro went full on plato mode there
This is why I fucking love this channel
This video is both extremely hilarious and informational, I freakin' love it 🤣
Leg press
Leg extension
Seated Leg curl - 4 sets)
Stationary lunge
(3 sets for all 8-12 reps)
My best neck workout was rock climbing, the cross activation of hanging onto a rock or wall for dear life really changed a lot about how I looked lol
5:27 I just fucking cant xDDD cant get enough of this type of humor xD
I agree with everything except the neck part. In winters/ when you wear baggy clothes, even if you have an intermediate's physique, if your neck is small, you'll look like you don't lift at all.
Heck, Jeff Nippard with small neck looked like he didn't lift, in baggy clothes. He showed past photos in one of his videos.
I agree but for a lot of people direct neck training isn't necessary unless they're really advanced
Honestly is that bad? Sleeper builds deliver shock.
Counterpoint: You lift, why are you wearing baggy clothes? 😄
@@bill_montyBecause it’s cold?
Once it's cold enough no one is finna be looking at your neck too tough anyway as it's probably also covered up, you'll be aiight 😂@@shortycrust
This was on point and funny. Thanks Dr. Mike.
4:29 Yeah. You know what Plato was known for? Big side delts.
This made me laugh out loud and helped short circuit a tough week. Honest thanks Dr
