This series is so damn good. It's not just highly entertaining, but it really highlights the principles that you underline in your other videos. When you critique exercises so well and with such logical and well communicated reasoning, it can really cement in my mind the understanding that I've picked up from other videos (yours and others'). These videos so often feel like the final piece of the puzzle when it comes to understanding and remembering a lot of the foundations of muscle/strength building.
Yeah... this is fun stuff. If you manage to get through the hour long videos on mesocycles with tons of powerpoint slides... and I have been a management consultant... I'm fine with powerpoint, but those videos were long, painful, and informative. That was eating your spinach sauteed in water without salt. This stuff is pure sugar high.
I feel your pain, just woke from a 2 hour nap after lunch (post workout meal) after a massive back and cardio session 💀🪦.. always over do it on the weekends 😁.
Dr. Mike, I know you got 'science', but I followed this workout and not only became a Navy Seal but also a heavyweight boxing champion and ran a fictional African nation for a spell...and I owe it all to battle ropes (before they were banned by the Geneva Convention for annihilating the competition). As one professor to another...dude, thanks. Just thanks
Not a SEAL, but I did the whole Marine rifleman thing back in the day for five years. During that time, I don't think I lifted a single weight. All we did was get smoked with long runs, calisthenics, endless hikes carrying a shit ton of weight, and body-weight workouts. So, it always makes me smile when actors get in "military" shape with jumping dumbbell curl backflips and other stupidity like this.
@@DeaconPain complex mathmatics is being generous, BUT you need to be able to do simple mathmatics when your dog ass tired, laying a a pile of ants, got swamp ass and havent slept in 24 hours. So, not easy either.
I get the impression from a lot of these celeb work-out routines that a lot of them simply don't want to admit that the aim of their work-out is aesthetics. Like oh, this excercise is good for explosiveness and whatever... No, you're going for bigger biceps because you need to look a certain way for a job. There's nothing wrong with that. Just say it.
They have been caught up in the scams and buzzwords. I like what Arnold had to say about this. No one cares about how heavy you lift. Similarly, I do not care about odd position movements or explosive or functional very much. More buzzwords. The explosive movements and odd position movements have an unfavorable risk to reward ratio. End up injured, maybe permanently but with little to show for it.
@hundo4000 Can they explain how the whackadoodle exercises benefits how they look? My real metric is, if someone spends that much time and effort, does it look like it?
@@rey3472kind of depends if your training is meant to be 'sport specific'. Or maybe you want to just look a certain way. Or maybe you want both. That's why amateur and pro athletes train with certain programs and not others and some programs have better utility for the objective. And why a shit ton of research goes into optimisation for sport training including trying to make a person more "explosive" in their movement capacity
I wanna see a celebrity that watches one of these go “okay mf train me. Teach me how to do the right work out at my beach house” and watch doc absolutely destroy him while he stands on the beach and sips out of a coconut. I would love that
@@httohot you may not watch a lot of RPs videos but when a new athlete trains with them they put them through hell. They get a good work out but they leave tired. It was a joke about that. Sorry you missed it
I absolutely refuse to believe that this is what celebrities are actually doing. Men's Health and other fitness magazines don't want to show you the truth--that getting an amazing physique takes hours every week doing conventional lifts with progressive overload. That it takes proper dieting and rest. They want to sell you the wacky, zany crap that excuses you from having to actually work hard. There's no way someone with Michael B. Jordan's physique does that dumbbell circuit and gets what he has. That dude goes to a gym, uses heavy weights, and does conventional lifts. But that's not what sells magazines.
I'm glad you talked about the cold water effect, because I was watching one of your videos where you were talking about EPOC and I was wondering this exact thing. I'm always ravenous after a swim workout.
I too have always found swimming the worst for losing weight / fat and true to word it makes be both very hungry and extremely tired both those things are seed for getting fat.
Maybe night time before bed swimming after dinner is good. I never felt the desire to eat swimming like that, maybe that can mitigate some of the cold water effect. Still do it for fun though, not for weight loss.
When i was in the army i got to work out a couple times with the special forces guys. What always struck me in awe was how balanced they were. They would be the fastest runners, strongest lifters, and longest endurance athletes in everything we did. Amazing fitness.
@@MrLardobutt I will never forget the days when one guy would show up for the morning run, still drunk from the night before (like, he was still awake from drinking all night) and he would, even stopping to throw up, be the fastest guy in the 2 mile run. Freaks.

What impresses me is Army SF aka Green Berets because a lot of them were Rangers for years before but somehow didn’t get injured and can still run crazy fast and lift heavy regardless of what they look like.

Hey Doctor Mike, could you do a video on elbow and knee sleeves for strength and hypertrophy? For example if you are a competing powerlifter, when should you stop using elbow sleeves?
Jordan's workout and commentary is a perfect example of exactly why there is so much misinformation out there. Part of the problem ....thanks to Dr Mike for being the solution.
thanks!! these dudes are not getting jacked like this by doing these mens health workouts!! idk why they dont admit to benching and squatting… its as if they want us to believe u can get jacked by not pushing any weight
Dr. Mike, you have no idea how much I enjoy your reviews of Hollywood actor workouts. Can't wait for you to review Alan Ritchson's workout(s) for Reacher.
Mike, as a professional actor, you have no idea how good it is to hear you say: “Just act!!” Cuz like legitimately any actor with training will say the same thing. You don’t need to “transform yourself mentally”… if you know how to act lol
@@RenaissancePeriodization but actually you’re totally right haha; people who lose sight of that and take themselves too seriously tend to be the pretentious actors who go “method”
Mike, you absolute legend! Amidst the swirling tornado of fitness fibs and toxic treadmill tales, you stand tall as a lighthouse of logic. This video series? It's the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the whole enchilada! So, from the bottom of my gym bag, thank you!
Thanks, Dr. Mike. I did not know about the "cold water effect," but I was a competitive swimmer for years. Swimming always made me ravenously hungry. Notably more than anything else.
Love this series. Keep em coming. I use battle ropes for warm up only, really, and to fatigue my arms before going into tire flips and hitting with a sledge.
I’ve become addicted to these videos, very similarly to the I survived series on A&E, but in a different way, because with these, I’m laughing my ass off and learning and with the other videos, I’m terrified to go out into the world, I am amazed at what the human body is capable of, and can’t sleep at night. Both videos have heroes in them though. Life is good and it’s because of Dr. Mike. Heart.
He access to a really good gym that he used to get ready for cred. if you look at his trainers content, you will see more of what he actually had him do.
MBJordan had a home gym in his garage at least 5 yrs ago (ruclips.net/video/BOQ-wZQhZZo/видео.html - power cage, dumbells, bench, airbike). Possible this was his California residence, while St Barts is most likely a vacation home.
drMike is so right about the swimming thing,when I was a beginner in the gym I used to do hit cardio and I always was so hungry after,nowadays I mostly do cycling at a steady pace,best when your looking to burn a few hundred calories
What really ties my physique together is high intensity tibialis curls. 6 days a week and 8 sets of 40 with about 500lbs each. The ladies are all over me now. This is the secret
This guy is like the top gear of fitness. Top gear takes the super cars and breaks them down to pros and cons and where they can improve on. Dr. Mike israeltel is no different. Not every workout regimen/routine is perfect or the most results driven. Giving solid feedback and pros and cons where needed
This looks like an excellent workout for elderly women and girls only interested in toning up a bit.. except it is severly lacking in leg and glute work..
Love this series! Thanks for clearing up the snake oil! I’d be curious to hear what you think of the training the actors did for 300. Apologies if you already critiqued that and I missed it!
So so tired of hearing people say I trained with a Navy seal. They’re in good shape but they aren’t the pinnacle of trainers. Growing up around a lot of military and police, special forces guys swat, most of these guys don’t know what the hell they’re doing.
My traps are super strong but fairly small. Same with my legs. Both muscles also respond super well to bodybuilding exercises. So much so that when I started working out, it made look like a weirdo with disproportionately large legs and traps but small everything else. I ignored both muscles for a literal year and my other bodyparts have only recently started becoming in proportion.
Yeah that's not unusual that you have muscle groups that kind of train easyer than others. You have great genetics because most vody builder struggle with both
I've never heard of the Cold Water Effect when swimming before... Do you have any articles or suggestions for research on that phenomenon? I'd enjoy looking into it more! Edit: For anyone interested, articles addressing this topic are mentioned in the replies!
Anecdotal but when I swam and played water polo all of us had ridiculous appetites, get out of practice and slam two chipotles in a sitting. Don't know if it's the cold water or the type of exercise but the hunger is real
@@mikhailkosyan9735 Yeah I used to swim competitively and I always had a massive appetite when I did but I'm not sure if I can attribute that to this effect or to how much I was burning by being in the water moving around for so long every day... I wonder if there's research showing the disparity between what's burned and how much appetite increases...? That would be super cool to study.
Got curious about it as well and found a solid study on it called "The Acute Effects of Swimming on Appetite, Food Intake, and Plasma Acylated Ghrelin"
"Increased caloric intake soon after exercise in cold water" on PubMed (authors Lesley J. White et al.) addresses this; found that cycling that took place under cold water seemed to induce higher consumption than that which took place in neutral temperature water. The article "The acute effects of swimming on appetite, food intake, and plasma acylated ghrelin" mentioned by TocoOW suggests this may be true as well, though their findings were not conclusive on the topic of temperature control as all of their tests took place in neutral-temperature water and it was found swimming did not increase appetite beyond what would be expected for the caloric burn of the activity.
Y’all gotta remember this is just a “stay in shape” kinda thing. Most actors have a “train up” period for a role with a professional trainer. I.E when he trained for creed, black panther, etc
Jordan grew up in New Jersey, and as alumni of the small but locally famous arts high school in Newark. While not as well known as the school of the performing arts in New York City, it has produced a number of quality musicians, visual artists, and actors.
I would say that in Black Panther MBJ had the best physique in movie history, he just looked absolutely monstrous and amazing. Whatever combination of routine and drugs they gave him was so top notch
An extremely intimidating physique. But he was also doing Creed around that time too. I'd say he was around 200Ibs at the time. Here he looks to be about 180 max
@@RenaissancePeriodizationcould you please cover ultimate performance’s celebrity training? They are genuinely good at what they do and I want to see how you’d respond to proper training and programming
less informative videos...but I absolutely love these celebrity reactions...love love love...respect...Also I fully get your humor, which I personally use and some people get pissed, or argumentative...but those people just don't get it...
1:02 Former competitive swimmer here. Proper kicking should come from the hips, not from the knees or ankles. A good flutter kick for swimming should be a SOLID quad work out.
Great video. Outside of the hunger, swimming is easily the best cardio you can do for fat loss, assuming you can maintain such strenuous exercise for the same length of time as you would stay on a treadmill or bike, for example.
As always your funny as hell and tongue in cheek humor juxtaposed wonderfully with inspirational, insightful and scientifically informative commentary and always hilarious, hits the nail on the head .
Hey Dr. Mike, would you consider doing a video on using gymnastics rings? A couple months ago, I started incorporating some accessory ring pushups and ring dips, and I feel like the chest stimulus is crazy good. Thanks!
Dr. Mike. It’s getting pretty popular lately to train to failure all the time or 1 shy. I have watched your videos and know your methodology is that you should start around the 3 Rir mark and increase intensity and volume throughout the meso. What is your thoughts on failure training all throughout the meso as long as the volume is adjusted accordingly??
personally i only go to complete failure on 1 of my working sets per exercise because more than that can handicap the rest of the workout and i cant reach true muscle failure repeatedly. definitely a case of diminishing returns imho
Before i came to this channel, I thought i was the strongest dad ever, cause no other dad in my neighborhood does any training at all. After watching these videos, im finding out all my workouts are useless and ive been wasting my time, thanks doctor mike, for bringing about my midlife crisis. What do i do now?

@@RenaissancePeriodization that’s what it says on my degree!! BFA in playing pretend
@@RenaissancePeriodization but actually you’re totally right haha; people who lose sight of that and take themselves too seriously tend to be the pretentious actors who go “method”
This series has become one of the highlights of my week. A+ entertainment… and luckily there is no shortage of terrible Hollywood workouts
Mike, you absolute legend! Amidst the swirling tornado of fitness fibs and toxic treadmill tales, you stand tall as a lighthouse of logic. This video series? It's the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the whole enchilada! So, from the bottom of my gym bag, thank you!
I'd love to see a vid where you rank different cardio modalities. Talking about jogging, sprinting, swimming, jump rope....
Thanks, Dr. Mike. I did not know about the "cold water effect," but I was a competitive swimmer for years. Swimming always made me ravenously hungry. Notably more than anything else.
Love this series. Keep em coming.
I use battle ropes for warm up only, really, and to fatigue my arms before going into tire flips and hitting with a sledge.
I think is also cardio
I just found your channel yesterday and I can't stop watching your hilarious critiques of Hollywood workouts lol 😄😄😄.
Dr mike would you mind doing on how to program hypertrophy and strength for weighted claistenictics, bollywood actors routine and recovery methods
I’ve become addicted to these videos, very similarly to the I survived series on A&E, but in a different way, because with these, I’m laughing my ass off and learning and with the other videos, I’m terrified to go out into the world, I am amazed at what the human body is capable of, and can’t sleep at night. Both videos have heroes in them though. Life is good and it’s because of Dr. Mike. Heart.
I find it hard to believe that this man doesn't have a home gym or at least access to a really good one.
He access to a really good gym that he used to get ready for cred. if you look at his trainers content, you will see more of what he actually had him do.
@@johneveryman6296 He's pretty jacked, he definitely looks like he lifts regularly.
@@AndreaAustoni He's really not jacked, he does have low bodyfat tho which gives the impression.
@@johneveryman6296 Big shoulders, lats, average men don't look like that, come on. He's not big but he definitely looks like he lifts.
MBJordan had a home gym in his garage at least 5 yrs ago (ruclips.net/video/BOQ-wZQhZZo/видео.html - power cage, dumbells, bench, airbike). Possible this was his California residence, while St Barts is most likely a vacation home.
drMike is so right about the swimming thing,when I was a beginner in the gym I used to do hit cardio and I always was so hungry after,nowadays I mostly do cycling at a steady pace,best when your looking to burn a few hundred calories
Probably the best part of his routine is the meditation. Relaxation response has great benefits. Don't know about the rest though.
Yea, that part actually made sense.
"The biceps are one of the strongest parts of your body"
That **** is dope. I'm gonna walk to work on my hands from now on.
How do we work out lower legs if we don't have a pool???
Just buy a piece of the bayou, it's even better for lower leg hypertrophy because of the greater water density
By far one of the best analysis of abreak down
Hello dr Mike, I’d love to see you critique the TB12 method that Tom Brady follows and promotes. You will have a field day with that.
This is why we love you, Dr Mike. Beauty AND brains.
Let’s not forget the tibialis. Getting a giant shin pump in on that swim.
These are possibly my favorite videos on the tube
What really ties my physique together is high intensity tibialis curls. 6 days a week and 8 sets of 40 with about 500lbs each. The ladies are all over me now. This is the secret
The neck bone's connected to the.......foot....bone...?
I love this series so much. Please keep rating celeb workouts.
This guy is like the top gear of fitness. Top gear takes the super cars and breaks them down to pros and cons and where they can improve on. Dr. Mike israeltel is no different. Not every workout regimen/routine is perfect or the most results driven. Giving solid feedback and pros and cons where needed
For ab training i just watch this videos. At some point it just hurts and i can't breath anymore but it's worth the effort.
This looks like an excellent workout for elderly women and girls only interested in toning up a bit.. except it is severly lacking in leg and glute work..
Yea, women tend to only want to work their lower body for obvious reasons
Love this series! Thanks for clearing up the snake oil!
I’d be curious to hear what you think of the training the actors did for 300. Apologies if you already critiqued that and I missed it!
RUclips Audience: Why did you do this video when you clearly have no idea what you're taking about?
Michael B Jordan: Money
I doubt he needed the Peter Pan money Men's Health would pay him for this video, it was probably his agent who booked him the last minute
Never a bad reason.
I doubt he's even made much money from this. It's probably like pocket change to him.
The aggression part of this convo was brilliant 😂😂😂😂 👏
I rate this 10/10🎬
Love this guys humor, I always get a good laugh with Dr. Mike 😂
So so tired of hearing people say I trained with a Navy seal. They’re in good shape but they aren’t the pinnacle of trainers. Growing up around a lot of military and police, special forces guys swat, most of these guys don’t know what the hell they’re doing.
One of my favourite segments on your channel. 👍🏼
Battle ropes might be good for drummers 😂😂😂
The swimming was hilarious. In particular the freestyle kick (spasm) and the shorts 😂😂
Hi
Hey dude.
I like how the longer I watch your content the more I know what you're gonna critique. Shows I'm learning lol.
If there's a hole, Dr Mike will find it.
...
3:38 true and that’s why I skip biceps as a powerlifter haven’t done them in 4 months
My traps are super strong but fairly small. Same with my legs. Both muscles also respond super well to bodybuilding exercises. So much so that when I started working out, it made look like a weirdo with disproportionately large legs and traps but small everything else.
I ignored both muscles for a literal year and my other bodyparts have only recently started becoming in proportion.
Yeah that's not unusual that you have muscle groups that kind of train easyer than others. You have great genetics because most vody builder struggle with both
6:27 Yes side delts. Overhead press with dumbbells targets side delts as well.
I've never heard of the Cold Water Effect when swimming before... Do you have any articles or suggestions for research on that phenomenon? I'd enjoy looking into it more!
Edit: For anyone interested, articles addressing this topic are mentioned in the replies!
Anecdotal but when I swam and played water polo all of us had ridiculous appetites, get out of practice and slam two chipotles in a sitting. Don't know if it's the cold water or the type of exercise but the hunger is real
@@mikhailkosyan9735 Yeah I used to swim competitively and I always had a massive appetite when I did but I'm not sure if I can attribute that to this effect or to how much I was burning by being in the water moving around for so long every day... I wonder if there's research showing the disparity between what's burned and how much appetite increases...? That would be super cool to study.
Got curious about it as well and found a solid study on it called "The Acute Effects of Swimming on Appetite, Food Intake, and Plasma Acylated Ghrelin"
@@TocoOW Wow, thanks for this! I'll check it out!
"Increased caloric intake soon after exercise in cold water" on PubMed (authors Lesley J. White et al.) addresses this; found that cycling that took place under cold water seemed to induce higher consumption than that which took place in neutral temperature water. The article "The acute effects of swimming on appetite, food intake, and plasma acylated ghrelin" mentioned by TocoOW suggests this may be true as well, though their findings were not conclusive on the topic of temperature control as all of their tests took place in neutral-temperature water and it was found swimming did not increase appetite beyond what would be expected for the caloric burn of the activity.
Y’all gotta remember this is just a “stay in shape” kinda thing. Most actors have a “train up” period for a role with a professional trainer. I.E when he trained for creed, black panther, etc
I feel like a 3/0 was being generous
Oh man I am so pleased hearing your opinion on Battle ropes.
long story short he does roids
How are you guys so unaware that you still have to work out with roids? Extremely ignorant
Jordan grew up in New Jersey, and as alumni of the small but locally famous arts high school in Newark. While not as well known as the school of the performing arts in New York City, it has produced a number of quality musicians, visual artists, and actors.
This guy has skipped leg day a lot. Good for him he has good genetics and not much more
He’s pretty good at eating that chicken, broccoli, and rice if you know what I’m saying 💉
@@ethangilworth7891 Amen
@@ethangilworth7891 Nah, his body looks natural. More natural than the guy who runs this channel, that's for sure
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 Dr. Mike is very open about his steroid usage. If only Michael B had such integrity.
These are fun and educational. Please keep them coming!
I would say that in Black Panther MBJ had the best physique in movie history, he just looked absolutely monstrous and amazing. Whatever combination of routine and drugs they gave him was so top notch
Genetics are the biggest factor in there
I mean combined to drugs ofc
An extremely intimidating physique. But he was also doing Creed around that time too. I'd say he was around 200Ibs at the time. Here he looks to be about 180 max
Love this video! Dr. Mike needs to roast Hollywood actor’s workout routines more often!
Jesus Christ is Life!!!
Hail Satan 🤎
I find these so entertaining...thank you
Would love to see a video about Mike Mentzers’ training methods (high intensity low volume, eccentric only etc.) and the Colorado Experiment.
I'd rather not.
Just recorded it, will be up at some point in the next year! - Dr. Mike
@@RenaissancePeriodizationcould you please cover ultimate performance’s celebrity training? They are genuinely good at what they do and I want to see how you’d respond to proper training and programming
less informative videos...but I absolutely love these celebrity reactions...love love love...respect...Also I fully get your humor, which I personally use and some people get pissed, or argumentative...but those people just don't get it...
This video looked fucking professional af, you should do more of these celeb workout reviews
I would love you to view some athletes or fighters training plans. It would be very interesting to hear your thoughts
the battleropes arefor strength endurance. Endurance being the key
These reaction video’s are the highlight of my week!
1:02 Former competitive swimmer here. Proper kicking should come from the hips, not from the knees or ankles. A good flutter kick for swimming should be a SOLID quad work out.
I love that this called out the lack of navy seal heart and mind
These are some of the exact thoughts I have watching many influencer lifters after studying Exercise Science in college.
Great video. Outside of the hunger, swimming is easily the best cardio you can do for fat loss, assuming you can maintain such strenuous exercise for the same length of time as you would stay on a treadmill or bike, for example.
As always your funny as hell and tongue in cheek humor juxtaposed wonderfully with inspirational, insightful and scientifically informative commentary and always hilarious, hits the nail on the head .
the swimming effect i read is not about the cold water effect, is about the breathing technics that we implement at the moment of swimming,
Hey Dr. Mike, would you consider doing a video on using gymnastics rings? A couple months ago, I started incorporating some accessory ring pushups and ring dips, and I feel like the chest stimulus is crazy good. Thanks!
Dr. Mike. It’s getting pretty popular lately to train to failure all the time or 1 shy. I have watched your videos and know your methodology is that you should start around the 3 Rir mark and increase intensity and volume throughout the meso. What is your thoughts on failure training all throughout the meso as long as the volume is adjusted accordingly??
personally i only go to complete failure on 1 of my working sets per exercise because more than that can handicap the rest of the workout and i cant reach true muscle failure repeatedly. definitely a case of diminishing returns imho
Before i came to this channel, I thought i was the strongest dad ever, cause no other dad in my neighborhood does any training at all. After watching these videos, im finding out all my workouts are useless and ive been wasting my time, thanks doctor mike, for bringing about my midlife crisis. What do i do now?
Hill sprints, burpees and thrusters.
I would actually like to work out with dr. Mike that would make my day. Iv used a lot of his tips they definitely work
You should review older Miker mentzer training philosophy!
