Actually, you’re not lifting air, you’re lifting like two thirds of your body weight when you body-weight squat, which in this guy’s case is still quite some weight.
These videos are done EXTREMELY well. The step by step discussion window-in-window, and details talking about the “why” are so crucial. Exciting, dynamic sessions. A Little humor. Educating. Motivating. I’ll be getting the app this fall.
Dr. Mike, you've truly inspired me to start working out in a completely new method and have given me a better understanding of health and wellness via your videos. Gracias 🙏🏾!
I've been doing slow eccentric moves in my workouts since I discovered this channel and there hasn't been a single day without sore muscles since then. But worth it.
I haven't watched yet but I already know the following things will be said: "Slow. Slow. Slow goddamn it" "One last one" "As if another. Pause. Pause. Rack" "Perfect technique or I won't fucking count it"
I’ve been training for a long time but never like this. Been watching these videos last few weeks and following along. Definitely humbling to feel twice as sore from half the weight!! Thank you Dr. Mike for the information.
@@jamesbondisamonkey I’m not sure if you’re trolling, but I’ll concede pain tolerance. However, steroids do absolutely nothing for body awareness and exercise execution. Those things are acquired only through experience and consistency.

Great video, it’s hard for most men, or males of any age to go to gym and not let their egos take over and form breakdown trying impress people they don’t know. Leaving the ego at the door is where the real gains begin, also incredible for enhancing mind-muscle connection, and safer as the load is always being controlled, the truth is, that shit hurts way more than throwing big weights around! If you know you know.
I've been doing HIT for one year and seen huge gains. I go to the gym once or twice a week. I only lift for 20-30 minutes, one set to failure for each muscle group. Changed my life and philosophy around exercise. However many sets you decide to do, just make sure at least one of them reaches a high level of intensity.

Love you.
The biggest take away for me has been Dr.Mike drilling home a slow essentric movment and full range of motion to maximize going to failer with a solid form. I started to really just focus on that during my workouts and its really helped make things much easier to just get in and do without making the workouts stupidly complicated. I'm seeing results, and I'm consistent with my schedule, and thats all I could really ask for.
Paused and tempo squats will humble anybody. I'm doing some tempo barbell squats for injury rehab purposes right now and OH MAN, do I have to go so much lighter than normal!
Great stuff! Love the vintage squat machine. I'd really love to see an RP leg video featuring front squats. They seem like they would gel with Mike's philosophy about targeting the muscle, and getting more tension out of lighter weights.
Unfortunately they are a bit unstable for most people, and end up taxing your ability to stay upright a bit more than your legs. I'm not a huge fan of them for that reason, though if you like them and they give you a good stimulus to fatigue ratio, they can be great! - Dr. Mike
@@nickglorioso6123 It would be a better option to do front squats with some sort of bulgarian squats/lunges just to better target different parts, of course if there's positive quad stimulus and no joint pain
I do slant board front squats with the bar on my collarbone with crossed arms instead of an Olympic front rack. I like that it works the back. It’s like a core exercise for your back. I don’t need to go heavy though with the slant board and extreme ROM, so the back holds up fine. Keeping my back upright and neutral is essential because I have serious disc injuries from the Army.
I was lifting "heavyweights" for me and not gaining any pound for months, my technique is good but doing only 6 reps for all the exercises was not effective. I ditched the ego lifting and increased reps, now I have gained some 10 pounds in 5 months. Some progress
I like to see that the leg curl before squatting and pressing is gaining traction in programming. I first came across it from golden era guys. It even works well as a warm up in strength training IMO.
@@sedricrobinson9499Meadows was retired, but his knowledge bank was really well rounded and practical. He still espoused the strength side of bodybuilding for big lifts and smart stuff for body parts.
I'm doing leg workout today and I am lifting so light on my squat cuz I suck at squats and this made me feel very good knowing that it's the right thing to do and not to worry about the weight but focus on my technique 🤘 I just feel so weak especially given I can't walk the following days and it's a non-impressive weight that I'm squatting
My legs have blown up doing full range of motion squats with slow eccentric on the Smith machine and I'm at.... A plate on each side, lol. 3/4 of the people in my gym do more weight and do half my range of motion. Just focus on yourself.
I feel your pain, I feel exactly the same way about squats. I try to celebrate every little improvement I make in technique and performance. It's a challenging exercise, forcing yourself to do it week after week is a win by itself!
This video is amazing. You guys make a massive effort at communicating effectively and offering the viewpoints of three experts; it adds so much to the listener's understanding on the how and why. Well done 👍
I feel like the last 3 months of working out has been lowering my weight LOL. Finally starting to see better results though since im going through a better range of motion.
the good thing about this training is that if you have a lower back injury you don't have to go heavy on the back squats. I have disc degeneration so my back feels amazing when I squat light, but I feel it for days if I squat heavy
Gonna try the hamstring curls into DB SLDLs tomorrow... I've been usually doing RDLs before my hamstring curls. Getting the hams all pumped prior sounds like a way to really stretch out and feel them better (I'm sure the back extension cues will help too).
@@deltasaves Yeah...I hide behind my RDLs with slightly more knee bend because they hurt less. Gonna focus on dropping the weight and really getting a good hamstring stretch (SLDL style). Them hams aren't going to grow themselves 🤣
Wow, the intensity of that leg workout is truly mind-blowing! Dr. Mike, I'm curious, how often do you recommend workouts of this magnitude? I imagine it's not feasible to maintain this level of intensity every session. What's the ideal frequency for sessions like these to ensure recovery and consistent progress? Thanks for sharing this incredible content!
Ok. I was wrong. I have played with the app and completed two days using it. Its phenomenal. I was shaking and puked during todays lift. Loved every minute of it.
I have a weakness in my lower back and basically quit squatting after my last injury. I never thought I would squat again, but here I am going low and slow with light weight and higher reps. My back feels better than ever and my legs are growing like crazy. I took my ego out of the equation for the first time at 41 year old.
Great video as usual👏, I always learn something from you or just feel more motivated to make every rep count👌. Its leg day for me and cant wait to torch them by copying your technique💪🐐
I’ve never really liked strength training but the industry always had me feeling like I needed to lift heavy to get big so I was always conflicted. The last year or so I’ve been training lighter with a focus on full ROM, slow eccentrics, and taking sets to failure and I’ve made the best progress in my life. It goes beyond muscle as well, I’m more mobile from training full ROM, I’m experiencing no pain (I dealt with a bulging disc for years), my endurance is better. The ONLY “con” is I don’t look as cool as others with heavy weights despite not giving a shit about strength beyond a certain threshold. I love the message you guys spread, I hope it helps many others on their health journeys as well. Thanks guys!
I think heavy is a relative term. You obviously need to go heavy enough for there to be a sufficient stimulus to the target muscle (sounds like you are), however it doesn't have to be bone crushing weight. I've had to learn to not ego lift the hard way😂
I think Ali probably has the best technique and discipline to maintain form consistency when the sets get hard out of anyone I’ve seen on the channel. Good shit!
Gonna start doing Myo-Rep match sets. Already started incorporating rest pause and drop sets. Holy shit I’ve learned so much from this channel. The pause in the stretched position is a game changer. I love it!!!
Dr. Israetel: Energy loss? That’s not how physics work! Also Dr. Israetel, 2 sec later: Neuroscience says that your nervous system is sitting there smoking and wondering “what are we doing here?”
These videos have changed the way I train. I started off in the gym mainly wanting to just "move the weight". I even applied this to accessories- surprise surprise muscles like biceps and calves were my biggest weakpoints. After watching your video on training calves and applying myoreps they starting blowing up after only 1 month. Couldn't believe it. I'm only training this way now I don't give a fuck about the weight we're here to get muscle.
This guy's training like a girl. Which is a good thing! That means he's following instructions properly and not letting his ego get in the way, which Mike has said several times in the past as to why female clients often train better than male ones.
I don't know where I saw the tip but putting your hands between the pad and your quads makes a ton of difference on how locked into position you're in.
Nothing more brutal then high rep leg workout . Most insane thing i ever did (and most painful ) was squatted 200 for 55 reps . Rest pause style without racking after 20 reps . Unbelievable agony .
This video will definitely inspire some kid who thinks hes big to hike up.his shorts for an entire afternoon of machine hopping while setting up his trip pod to catch every set
Dr Mike…you are the best. Period. I have learned so much from your channel. Lebanese here and I plan to ‘rep for Lebanon’ this week in my lifts. 😬😎 Wish you trained amateur competitors.
This was the video I needed! Holy fuck is this an intense way to program a workout!! "165 lb. what is this high school?!" is exactly what this perfect form, slow eccentric, isometric pause, myorep bullshit makes you feel like!!
I used to go to a gym that had a Cybex hack squat/leg press similar to this one, i loved that thing you can really hone in on the legs and it was awesome for drop sets.
All three of my legs are gonna love this!

I love the sets that go to bodyweight failure. That feeling of not being able to lift air is WILD. I have started doing these on shoulder exercises.

Actually, you’re not lifting air, you’re lifting like two thirds of your body weight when you body-weight squat, which in this guy’s case is still quite some weight.
Yep, it's a really "easy" (painful but easy on the joints) way to get in a lot more stimulus! - Dr. Mike
Light weight training has been amazing for my arthritis, and my chest and quads have never been better
How do you do these with shoulders?

Good video! More reps and less time in between is the best way to workout period.

Great video! Can't wait to try this workout on my next leg day.
Skipping calves per usual
The clip focuses on quads. Not legs. I’m sure men at that level of bodybuilding expertise know not to neglect their calves.
@@jonwiley2592the first workout is leg curls
He does calves at the beginning of back day
Oh no this particular video didn’t focus on the specific thing you wanted it to
Just hit calves whenever they’re not sore, they heal up pretty quick
Dr Mike…you are the best. Period. I have learned so much from your channel.
Lebanese here and I plan to ‘rep for Lebanon’ this week in my lifts. 😬😎
Wish you trained amateur competitors.
I like this guy, he should come back again. Great shit guys
Technique is EVERYTHING
This was the video I needed! Holy fuck is this an intense way to program a workout!! "165 lb. what is this high school?!" is exactly what this perfect form, slow eccentric, isometric pause, myorep bullshit makes you feel like!!
Love these videos! Helps inspire me, but also helps give me mental cues during my sets!
I can't express how much I learn here and such a BIG funny time I love you Dr Mike
Awesome workout! Definitely going to try this next leg day.
This kinds of video's are just pure gold. It helps me loose weight like a mfer. Thnx RP!
I used to go to a gym that had a Cybex hack squat/leg press similar to this one, i loved that thing you can really hone in on the legs and it was awesome for drop sets.
Another short king to stand alongside Mike 🤴
I wish RUclips was around when I was a lad, this makes total sense💪🏼👍🏻.
