Lifting scientifically has changed everything for me. And, contrary to prevailing sentiment, it has sucked precisely 0 fun out of lifting, as far as I'm concerned.
Really a personality thing, for some, optimizing what you do and learning about *why* and *how* things are scientifically optimal or not is a boring chore, and for others it’s a passion and lights up their brain in a good way. That’s what really got me into training consistently as well is that instead of it being purely physical busywork, it’s something that challenges my mind and intrigues me to learn which keeps me coming back for more
I actually think it's more fun with the slow and controlled. The results are unquestionable and getting that super focused pump where you actually want it is the best.
Really slowing down to focus on full rom and intensity has helped me a ton. I also watched a Jeff tricep tier list video and decided to try out overhead trice cable extensions, loving them.
@@Ignoranymoose yeah well you can tell by his face and body language a lot of the times that he doesnt agree with what Mike is saying.. Jeff kinda seems like a narccisist
While that is funny, that sport doesn't teach striking making that kind of wrestling more of a supplement to actual martial arts, not making it the central focus. It should be a supplement. I'd suggest PMA and Muay Thai 😏
@@JoshuaKevinPerry it can be good if you're trying to stop an aggressor and you are performing a citizen's arrest, other than that it is not a style of fighting, it is a style of wrestling
Almost every real street fight goes to the ground. I started boxing, kick boxing, and traditional Tae Kwon Do at 8 years old. I'm great at striking, but good wrestlers and grapplers are the ones who give me the most problems.
I like 2 things about this video in particular: 1: you can tell the chemistry is a bit competitive at the beginning and becomes more collaborative over time. 2: I like how they're all complimentary to each other and not argumentative. Great vibes and good times.
Really enjoying Jared contributing more in these videos. He's so knowledgeable and his work with IFBB pros really seems to translate to usable advice. MORE JARED!
@pap4539 didn't realise he had his own channel! I watched him being interviewed with Dr Mike on Jay Cutlers podcast a couple of days back and although I've watched almost all RP videos over the past 4 years , I feel we know Dr Mike a little better going off RP videos compared to Jared so I really enjoyed hearing Jared speak more in the podcast. Going to try searching for his channel
i think mike is absolutely right tho... almost no modern human has had a level of arousal like a life or death situation... jeff could definitely get 3-5 more, if his life and family depended on it.... would probably destroy his arms tho lol.
When Jeff gets close to failure he fidgets with he legs a bit, repositions them, just shakes out stress out of them. It makes me very happy that I am not the only one doing that. Jeff's the man.
Yes! I was struggling with 25s dropped to 20s and still was only getting 6 to 8 reps. Definitely makes me feel better about it. Might even try it with 15s. I normally curl with anywhere from 25 to 35 depending on the exercise
This video made me rethink the weights that I've been using, only issue was I had reached the 25-30 rep range and my workouts were taking way too long to finish.
The difference is he's failing with 15lbs with the best form for hypertrophy which he can muster. He could easily throw that weight around and do more reps if he was focusing on strength. Most people who claim they're doing 25's or something are most likely on steroids for a while, or they've got very bad technique in regards to muscle growth. If all they want is strength, then all power to them. But they can't complain their muscles aren't growing.
I'd like to give kudos to Dr. Mike and the RP team. I've been following for about 6-7 months and slowly incorporating the science-based principles into my workouts. I've definitely noticed myself getting stronger, but what I've really noticed is that I'm getting injured much less often. I've struggled with tendonitis in my shoulder for years and I'm 40. Following RP has changed the game for me and I feel stronger, more flexible, and more durable. Thanks, guys! Keep it up.
Y’al, this video was SUPER informative. Thanks to everyone for doing it! I’d seen the myorep clocking in the Hypertrophy app but just didn’t have a great visual of how to actually implement them based just on their descriptions. I’m glad you did it with Jeff, because I could actually see how it works! :D
Music selection, editorial quality, athmosphere of this video is something even chatGpt doesn't know about. Truly a RUclips video masterpiece. Thank you RP-Team.
After recent events, love that Dr. Mike is constantly referencing "Science". 2 guys on gear and a natty guy working together using science based workouts to get gains.. a certain tough guy would make you believe that was impossible. Awesome vid.
@@huleyn135 found the person with a full head of hair. Balding specifically affects the mohawk area *first*. He's just a widow's peak guy like Dracula.
Jeff's point about there existing a point where muscular fatigue just physically won't let you do another rep is correct in theory. But in practice I've seen soldiers break through plateus in selection that seemed completely impossible. You're just never going to replicate the stress response in the gym that you get from true desperation. To give one example, day one of selection there was a cut off: if you can't do 30 pushups (with full gear) you're out. This was completely rested and most did it comfortably, but this one guy barely sqeeked out the last one. Like we're talking the last rep took like 15 seconds. Then just three days later, after pretty much no sleep, no food and constant physical badgering for the entire time the sargeant drops this bomb: same test, anyone under 50 is out. With the accumulated fatigue there was not a single one of us who wasn't terrified that they would fail out. It just seemed impossible. But the kicker was this time we had 3 instructors literally screaming at us for the entire time to push through. Every single one of us passed. And I'll never forget seeing the guy who just a few days earlier completely rested had barely done 30, now completely covered in mud and shivering from the cold fucking powering through to 50 and somehow a lot more convincingly. And mind you, this was still not a real fight or flight response from a do or die situation. It fundamentally changed my view of what our bodies are actually capable of, and no matter how good you are at pushing in the gym you will probably never reach true physiological failure.
In most cases your body is going to protect you by making you stop to reduce risk, if it thinks it's fight or die there's more to give. also in your case the physical improvements you get from going to failure with pushups could have got him a few extra on it's own
Definitely believe psychological arousal is a factor in failure training. When you’re in that balls to wall mentality, you can push through those grindy/snail’s pace reps which you otherwise would have stopped
yup me too, some days even though I can 1 rep up the last session of squats, I don't have it in me man, no matter how hard I try, I can't tap into it. on other days when i am psyched, I bring in the demons for 2 extra reps.
Definitely agree with Mike. I notice that especially when I do shoulder press. I can stall at rep 8 halfway up and if I pretend someone is standing over me yelling it’s 3-4 more reps.
@@TheCitizenPain True, smaller/shorter muscles. But I swear the dude’s shoulders have gotten so much wider in the last six months, he looks like he’s doubled in size.
@@TheCitizenPain Half right. Shorter dudes look good in solo pics and all but they get mogged by taller dudes even if they don't lift. Also, taller dudes have more potential. This is why most Mr. O's are NOT 5'5.
I don't understand why he still wants to bulk, that's already a nice body, a bigger muscle on his body would look a bit weird with his height. If he's taller with proportional muscle, he'd look bigger than Jared.
I saw this video at the beginning of my week and added the 2 bíceps exercise to my rutine, THIS THING IS MONSTROUS! The burn it gives you and the pump you get are crazy! It became my favorite bicep exercise
that's what I love about Jeff compared to other people he's actually in real time challenging and disagreeing with what Mike is saying on the spot. like yes he's there to learn and collab but he's also his own person with his own opinions and training principles
Doesn’t mean you should just turn a blind eye if you’re able to help. Everything dies eventually does that mean we shouldn’t try to stay alive, shouldn’t try to find cures, doctors should stop helping people? You see someone getting abused, kidnapped, beat, or raped and you should just walk away from it because it happens everyday? It could be your kid, mom, dad, close friend, wife, husband, etc and you wouldn’t want someone to step in if they could? There are so many things wrong with this logic. You’re either lying to yourself or have some form of psychological disorder.
I swear as soon as he said “kids die everyday, Jeff, RUclips cut in with an ad about refugee camps and needing money. Probably the funniest fucking timing I’ve ever seen 😂
I'm doing the same sort of case study. I've been bodybuilding training for over 15 years. Hired a bodybuilding coach this year and told him I want to compete on stage naturally. So far, I'm up 7lbs of muscle since January this year. The training intensity is crazy high to reach the growth stimulus. You can see it in Jeff's face in this video... that intensity gets real, real fast.
I really liked this video and honestly I wish RP uploaded more energizing video like this, like at least twice a week.. but may be that is why they have a members section
Getting there at the first half of your session is something worthy but getting there towards the end…. That’s where you gotta find that Super Saiyan in you
Death metal definitely helps to achieve SSJG while training, for me it’s the moments when your bestfriend betrayed me or the love of your life tells you it’s forever and leaves you or when your dad died. You whole life shatters and crumbles before your eyes. These things are great motivators to shatter the ceiling and destroy the whole fucking building.
Nah the drug response from the body is very real. I've trained to failure hundreds of times and beyond many. With adrenaline in my system I could have done more reps, but if you also put me under immense stress and anxiety with my life on the line in a dangerous environment I think I would either just match the reps that I did on adrenaline or maybe crap out earlier due to the immense stress. Either way, your muscles will run out of resources regardless of mentality and determination. The drugs released by the body are what makes it possible, not the mentality. It is just PEDs making you more capable. You can reach a state of mind that makes you want to train insanely hard just for fun, you will be crazy tired after though.
The amount of strength and jackedness in that gym that day, with Jeff, Jared, and Dr. Mike, then Milo killing it in the background. Also, this looks like one HELL of a good time. Absolute cooker of a workout. I love the "We got 'im again, Scott." during the upright rows.
Came back from a cold with this workout. Loved it Joints never hurt and didn’t tax the nervous system. Arms pumped up like a wacky inflatable man!! Thanks guys
I'm reminded of the movie dodgeball. The scene where the dude is paying the kid to clean his truck over and over again. "Get in there all nice and deep like" dr Mike's comments took me right there. Lol
I totally understand where Jeff is coming from on the matter of reps in reserve but I agree with Mike, the mental drive you have can definitely push you further than what you're normally capable of.
@@Vincent_Beers At the same time, it's a bit like dialing back on safety measures. In the gym setting, agressive encouragement can probably eke out a bit more and not be a problem. The guy heroically lifting a car in an adrenaline rush is going to hurt BAD once it wears off. Your body doesn't want to let you do that for a reason, life and death is the exception.
I'm just quite surprised someone as experienced as Jeff would find the point so controversial. If someone stabs you in the leg and screams they'll end you, the adrenaline from the pain and fear will obviously do a number on you and give you added strength and endurance. Or does he doubt this is true? I haven't been in that spot, but I would be surprised if it weren't true.
Of course its harder for Jeff cause he doesn't train that way, I bet if he implemented this style his body would get used to it, kinda like working out for the first time again haha
Especially that conversation from like 4:09 onwards. Kinda blew me away that Jeff was making that argument, as if he's trying to prove the point Eric's been making all along when criticising pencil neckery/being too caught up in the science. IT'S ABOUT THE MINDSET!
It’s mildly disconcerting that you can’t really tell if he’s joking about the dead children and dinged cars. I mean yes he’s joking…but is he really joking…
Just did the curls laying down. That was gnarly and something I had never heard or seen before. Excited to put them in the routine. A killer pump indeed.
After a few years of bodybuilding, there are still things I'm learning of course, but it's so reassuring to have the validation of certain training choices. Like integrating the arms into the chest/back equivalent and changing the order according to priorities. Beyond personal satisfaction, it shows that the pedagogy of (real) gymtubers works, and that the message is received.
Tricep muscles act as stabilizers, primarily for the shoulders, during pull ups and rows. They are involved during lowering (eccentric) portion of the pull up and row and they also flex your elbow. You will feel more of the long head with wide grip pull ups.
How do y'all not know this? The long head performs shoulder extension. Sure it's not working maximally but it is noticeably working and if you did absolutely nothing else for triceps but pullups you would still have significant long head development (albeit far from your potential). You can increase the stress on the lats and long head a bit by pulling yourself behind the bar rather than going straight up. If you really want to prove it to yourself, do lying pullovers. Even without your elbow moving, and in any elbow position, it czn be a great long head exercise.
@@gracefool This is like saying squats work the hamstrings and you'll get significant hamstring development if you only do squats because the hamstrings perform hip extension
@Karsius1 no, with squats the hamstring has minimal tension at every point because as the hip extends the knee also extends and the hamstring stays the same length. Whereas with pullups the long head significantly helps the beginning of the pull where the lats and biceps are in their weakest (fully stretched) position.
Lifting scientifically has changed everything for me. And, contrary to prevailing sentiment, it has sucked precisely 0 fun out of lifting, as far as I'm concerned.
Really a personality thing, for some, optimizing what you do and learning about *why* and *how* things are scientifically optimal or not is a boring chore, and for others it’s a passion and lights up their brain in a good way.

@@War624He's got Wolverine's height, he is Canadian, but he ain't got that berserker rage.
Got it: Yarin Primak - My Lord
anyone know the song at 26:10 ?
Kids die every day, Jeff... quote of the day!
Yeah, that was dark. Said as if it was just in passing.
Doesn’t mean you should just turn a blind eye if you’re able to help. Everything dies eventually does that mean we shouldn’t try to stay alive, shouldn’t try to find cures, doctors should stop helping people? You see someone getting abused, kidnapped, beat, or raped and you should just walk away from it because it happens everyday? It could be your kid, mom, dad, close friend, wife, husband, etc and you wouldn’t want someone to step in if they could? There are so many things wrong with this logic. You’re either lying to yourself or have some form of psychological disorder.
12:05 jeff breaks character 😂 got to be one of my fav collabs yet!
4:34 omg that look and the headshake
ikr , i was scared for jeff their ....
I swear as soon as he said “kids die everyday, Jeff, RUclips cut in with an ad about refugee camps and needing money. Probably the funniest fucking timing I’ve ever seen 😂
Lmao , it's like the V-shred ad that popped up in his critique of v-shreds nonsense
Who knew that fresh off an assault controversy, it would be Dr Mike who makes Jeff cry in pain
Dr. Mike's Parole officer is gonna be busy well into 2025.
Nah, he was crying like a b* tch before that 😊
Mike really knows how to emphasize the stretch if you know what I mean
Not just that, but also changing skull crushers into neck crushers for him 😭
I'm doing the same sort of case study. I've been bodybuilding training for over 15 years. Hired a bodybuilding coach this year and told him I want to compete on stage naturally. So far, I'm up 7lbs of muscle since January this year. The training intensity is crazy high to reach the growth stimulus. You can see it in Jeff's face in this video... that intensity gets real, real fast.
Great to see everyone just working together even if they don't agree about every little thing. Good stuff
0:30 Close your eyes and listen
"Finish!!!.... High on the chest...Yes! Good shit. We got him again" Just bro things
😂 “NSFW” 😂😂😂
Right behind the chest
I love how you guys can collaborate. This is incredible
Jeff just seems like the absolute nicest guy ever.
Jeff is more nicer than last time
Yeh on camera
@@ItzGamerYt9565 🤣🤣🤣🤣
💯
Facts 🙌🏻
I love that this a conversation between people, like the arms day conversation. Great video.
Started the lying cable curls....wow. My new favorite bicep workout. The controlled negative is just unbeatable with this method.
3 of my favorite people all in one vid ❤ gotta love it‼️
6:27 “no one believed in that one but it was good” 😂
I really liked this video and honestly I wish RP uploaded more energizing video like this, like at least twice a week.. but may be that is why they have a members section
Mike, Jared, AND Jeff in one video? I just got a forearm PR!
It's really cool to see how so small weights used proper targeting the bicep and tricep gives huge results. Love this workout!
Always good to see Jeff collaborating
The physiological aspect Mike talked about is very real. Not many people can get to that place
Getting there at the first half of your session is something worthy but getting there towards the end…. That’s where you gotta find that Super Saiyan in you
That’s why I listen to deathmetal/deathcore it summons inner demons to get me through
Death metal definitely helps to achieve SSJG while training, for me it’s the moments when your bestfriend betrayed me or the love of your life tells you it’s forever and leaves you or when your dad died. You whole life shatters and crumbles before your eyes. These things are great motivators to shatter the ceiling and destroy the whole fucking building.
@@Ssjgnolan If you have to think of your dad dying to go to failure on a set of tricep extensions, you just don't know how to train.
Nah the drug response from the body is very real. I've trained to failure hundreds of times and beyond many. With adrenaline in my system I could have done more reps, but if you also put me under immense stress and anxiety with my life on the line in a dangerous environment I think I would either just match the reps that I did on adrenaline or maybe crap out earlier due to the immense stress. Either way, your muscles will run out of resources regardless of mentality and determination. The drugs released by the body are what makes it possible, not the mentality. It is just PEDs making you more capable. You can reach a state of mind that makes you want to train insanely hard just for fun, you will be crazy tired after though.
I already know it’s a w video and I haven’t even watched it yet. Two of my favorite exercise scientists in the same video.
4:09 Greg is going to have a field day with this
😂😂😂
Another awesome production by Midget Studios, even when someone was kneeling the low-angle shots were there. Good shit.
Jeff is always a welcome addition on the RP channel
Dr and Jeff again, let's gooo
please do this for every major muscle group.
10:10 This is the rythm of the night
The rhythm of the mike* ;)
Is it the reeboks or the nikes? 👀
The amount of strength and jackedness in that gym that day, with Jeff, Jared, and Dr. Mike, then Milo killing it in the background. Also, this looks like one HELL of a good time. Absolute cooker of a workout.
I love the "We got 'im again, Scott." during the upright rows.
Came back from a cold with this workout. Loved it
Joints never hurt and didn’t tax the nervous system. Arms pumped up like a wacky inflatable man!!
Thanks guys
I'm reminded of the movie dodgeball. The scene where the dude is paying the kid to clean his truck over and over again. "Get in there all nice and deep like" dr Mike's comments took me right there. Lol
I totally understand where Jeff is coming from on the matter of reps in reserve but I agree with Mike, the mental drive you have can definitely push you further than what you're normally capable of.
@@Vincent_Beers At the same time, it's a bit like dialing back on safety measures. In the gym setting, agressive encouragement can probably eke out a bit more and not be a problem. The guy heroically lifting a car in an adrenaline rush is going to hurt BAD once it wears off. Your body doesn't want to let you do that for a reason, life and death is the exception.
I'm just quite surprised someone as experienced as Jeff would find the point so controversial. If someone stabs you in the leg and screams they'll end you, the adrenaline from the pain and fear will obviously do a number on you and give you added strength and endurance. Or does he doubt this is true? I haven't been in that spot, but I would be surprised if it weren't true.
Yea prob true but i would assume the massive fatigue is not good for gains
Of course its harder for Jeff cause he doesn't train that way, I bet if he implemented this style his body would get used to it, kinda like working out for the first time again haha
I love the passion of Jeff's beliefs 5:30
The 'torso day' inference shows how great Mike is a explaining things easily
I just tried triceps exercise 2 and it is BRUTAL! Thanks for sharing this awesome content
eric buganhagen going to be stuck in an infinitely long rant when he sees this
I would pay good money to see them get Eric in for a workout. He'd be yelling about pencil neck weight while doing 225 lb skull crushers lmao
Especially that conversation from like 4:09 onwards. Kinda blew me away that Jeff was making that argument, as if he's trying to prove the point Eric's been making all along when criticising pencil neckery/being too caught up in the science. IT'S ABOUT THE MINDSET!
Jeff: “That’s the Jeff Nippard way”
Dr. Mike: “Cool”
Hahaha
the split screen of jeff lifting with dr mike staring me in the soul is so sexy
Awesome vid, love the energy. Jeff is the man and Mike just consistently cracks me tf up 😂❤
Great collab as always. All for the love of the sport 🫡
These are my two favourite fitness educators (not influencers) and when the work together its always really interesting and informative 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I fucken LOVE Dr Mike!! You're sense of humor is the best 👌
He’s so funny but such a troll. He’s like a trickster character from mythology
It’s mildly disconcerting that you can’t really tell if he’s joking about the dead children and dinged cars. I mean yes he’s joking…but is he really joking…
6:50 GAHDAMN JARED
my man is packing the entire burj khalifa in his pants
he just got a tight sack so it pushed his burj into the shorts, you can see him adjust it to make it relax just a couple of seconds later
Just did the curls laying down. That was gnarly and something I had never heard or seen before. Excited to put them in the routine. A killer pump indeed.
After a few years of bodybuilding, there are still things I'm learning of course, but it's so reassuring to have the validation of certain training choices. Like integrating the arms into the chest/back equivalent and changing the order according to priorities.
Beyond personal satisfaction, it shows that the pedagogy of (real) gymtubers works, and that the message is received.
1:20 Pullups and rows hit the long head of the triceps? I think your tripping mike
I heard this and thought it might be the most curious (and possibly one of the only wrong) things he's ever said.
Tricep muscles act as stabilizers, primarily for the shoulders, during pull ups and rows. They are involved during lowering (eccentric) portion of the pull up and row and they also flex your elbow. You will feel more of the long head with wide grip pull ups.
How do y'all not know this? The long head performs shoulder extension. Sure it's not working maximally but it is noticeably working and if you did absolutely nothing else for triceps but pullups you would still have significant long head development (albeit far from your potential).
You can increase the stress on the lats and long head a bit by pulling yourself behind the bar rather than going straight up.
If you really want to prove it to yourself, do lying pullovers. Even without your elbow moving, and in any elbow position, it czn be a great long head exercise.
@@gracefool This is like saying squats work the hamstrings and you'll get significant hamstring development if you only do squats because the hamstrings perform hip extension
@Karsius1 no, with squats the hamstring has minimal tension at every point because as the hip extends the knee also extends and the hamstring stays the same length. Whereas with pullups the long head significantly helps the beginning of the pull where the lats and biceps are in their weakest (fully stretched) position.
4:10 Nobody left their Ego at the Door🤣✌️
0:31 it should be me making Jeff let out those sounds
Yo wtf
Dr Mike, is that you?
Get off your burner account.
Editor is killing it with these vids 🔥🔥🔥
1:25 did Mike just say that pulling movements, like pull ups and rows, target the triceps?
