Pssht Dr. Mike you don't know ANYTHING about entertaining mindless people that don't know much about fitness. God, stable lifting with progressive overload, what a NERD! You probably can't even do one single leg deadlift + bicep curl on a bosu ball. No, but seriously, thank you so much for your information and the knowledge you share. You're definitely one of my heros in the lifting world. Zach, you're cool as hell too
He's basically the Gillette razor of fitness. Every new video he posts is the hardest exercise ever, just as every new Gillette razor is the best shave ever.
thats unfair to gillette, even though I dont care, first of all they only have like 5 or 6 different razors, and as with any technology, the latest version SHOULD be the best
He did a video on his " handing barbell single leg jump squat" he claims was the "hardest jump squat and exercise ever!" When he demonstrated it, he was quivering, and moaning the whole time I'm a fat 60 year old cyclist, and I was able to replicate his exercise on my channel, easy to do and much more stable than he did it
Good video, Zack! Mike did a great job of making Joel look quite amateurish without even really making any assertions of his own. Just asking the right questions that forced Joel to back himself into a corner. It was satisfying to watch. I just finished filming my own take on it echoing some similar thoughts as you BUT playing under the assumption that his 80/20 claim is actually true.
I've followed Mike for a long time and RP inspired me to build a large home gym and become a coach. They already get good exposure in the community but it's awesome to see them getting even bigger and destroying people like this
Props to Seedman for mastery and understanding of how to get big on social media. This something anyone who have made it on YT including you understand. What is troubling is his admission of trying to catch attention masking it as "reaching more people to help." He is a great marketer, not a coach.
I think the reason he’s so successful is because has shone a light on the ironic banality of elite gym training. People go to the gym to get in shape in order to ‘rise above the masses’ but the routine required to do so creates an ironic homogeneity. Everyone is basically doing the same shit: diet = egg whites, chicken breast, brown rice, broccoli overnight oats; workout program = squat, deadlift, bench press…pretty boring.
There's a Māori (Mao-ree) word, "Aūe" (ohh-weh), which literally translated means "I wept/I cried", used in place of "Dios Mio", "Oy vey" etcetera. Seems suiting for this. Much love from NZ.
With legit trainers like Mark Bell and Nsima Inyang. Sure, why don't I and bullshit my way into podcast on electric cars and space rockets with Elon Musk.
I wonder if Seedman's training has anything to do with why Chris Carson is hurt all the time. Dude is a physical specimen but has yet to play a full NFL season.
Chris Carson gets worked out by a fleet of different trainers. This is optional off season training, and plays the most injury prone position in the most injury prone sport.
There's a guy called Chong Xie who talks about somehing he calls "hyperarch mechanism", wich is basically the activation of the arch of the foot, and he argues it's the key to all elite athletic performance. You should check it up and make a video about him, he currently trains the MMA fighter Zhang Weili, but I think his claims are pretty bold, he reminds me of the GOATA guys.
Imagine walking into a gym in the future and everyone is doing his wacky stuff and you just want to do some atg squats in a rack but there's 3 people per rack running into bands falling into iso planks.
funniest moment for me was Mike: "So then you consider your training more therapeutic than ergogenic?" seedman: "Actually I consider it both" Mike: "ok.... Interesting...."
These videos running in the background are straight up hilarious 😂 They look like satire. Let's just see his competency with any set of 3 conventional lifts to see how his 80% training is going and how the 20% "eye-catching" methods are translating.
I am glad that you made this video. Those are my sentiments exactly and I do feel that he was let off the hook way too easily. BTW: Batman and joker or Superman and lex luther
Upon closer examination of his techniques in performing said movements, it can be perhaps articulated, that his exercises, merely demonstrate weaknesses, & as such, continued practice of such extreme movements will only perpetuate those weakness. Not to forget, but those imbalances can potentially contribute to an increased injury potential, the very thing that he espouses that he is trying to limit, & as such, by adding external load, to a already comprised structural system, will merely foster increased injury potential. "Practice makes permanent, not perfect. But perfect practice makes permanent"... just a thought :)
Seedman promoted himself by filming NFL players (whose body performance are already way above average people) doing his "creative" sessions. He's abusing NFL players' fame.
I really feel bad about all those posters who posted 🔥🔥🔥 and encouragement, and even say they were going to implement his exercises on their next workout. I told myself they were all sock puppets to make myself feel better about it. I believe some of them were. But there is also the possibility that some of them were not. They were duped. And there was no amount of arguing with them to make them realize they were duped.
Dude I love what you have to say when you step back and talk about big picture stuff like making money from the algorithm and people like seedman never going away. It’ll be cool to see you expand this part of your content if that’s something you’re interested in.
His wacky exercises being 20% is fine… THE REAL QUESTION is is he doing the 80% of squats only to 90 degrees?? The 90 degree claims are the biggest problem with his messaging.
I actually found if you balance the bar more aka instead of loading the bar with 1 35 put on 2 15s and a 5 the lift is much easier. I found this out when I always snatched more at my local CrossFit box with high temps. but at home, I would struggle with comp bumpers. so 135 is a pr for me at the box I can hit it any day of the week. But I have never hit it at home even when I feel like superman. so after 2 strength sessions and a metcon I decided to give my theory a go. I put my change 5s on the inside of the 35s. missed my first 2 because of the balance in front of me. Hit the 3rd lift with ease. I was dead tired and somehow hit 135. so I loaded on some 45s indeed this is a 10-pound decrease to 125, couldn't even get under it. I tried this method on everything balancing the bar and it works like magic. so I am saying this because I have never seen anyone try this and anyone I tell is shocked. I am not a pro-lifter I am 15 and just looking for new ways to lift and approach the sport. I think tensile strength aka whip plays a factor if you load heavyweights on the outside of a whippy bar too much it will backfire. I have a couple of other theories on how this is applicable and I know its a lot of info, thanks for reading
Its awesome you're so into it at 15. Stay away from the BS and try to follow people that give good quality advice that focus on the compound movements. If you're really that into it, study kinesiology in college.
Here’s the deal - those folks who are drawn to alternative medicine, alternative science, alternative truth, and conspiracy have these qualities/motives in common: They seek gain, egocentric. And they receive an internal ego boost from a sense that they know a hidden truth that others don’t know or can’t perceive. There are psychological studies of individuals that are attracted to conspiracy theories. There is a lot of fragility and mental weakness in those people. The conspiracy gives them a sense of belonging and the payoff in that they feel pride in knowing their hidden truth. These individuals are dealing with confusion and lack of self confidence. It’s all fragile and self serving.
"I want to understand the psychology of it" I think you addressed this in previous videos? Fitness industry hype "gurus", especially on platforms like IG, create a platform and an exclusive market by being "over-educated", claiming to have exclusive and novel knowledge about S&C (despite the core of what works in S&C not really being different now than decades ago), and focusing on controversial and confusing exercises paired with verbose explanations to make what they do seem sophisticated and "advanced". The verbosity is exposed as sophistry when a debate occurs and the ideas are questioned. Maybe his day to day programming is normal and adequately backed, but that's not what he built his platform on. That he works with "pro" athletes is part of the marketing hype -- who has he actually gotten *into* the NCAA, NFL, etc? It's hard to break out and make a platform in S&C and much easier to do so if you're good at marketing than if you're good at S&C. Of course there is a great deal of very detailed science that goes into programming, but basic exercise selection isn't really rocket science and the results speak for themselves. I just watched a video of Austin Baraki pulling 730lb, and you yourself pulled 600+lb without really deadlifting much. Ditto Thibeadeau et al. Not to mention success with clients, which is far more important. Good coaches get great results from average individuals. As an aside, I would love to see a debate between him and an S&C coach like Thibadeau.
He already said it. Be shameless. You know that no one wants sensible content. So you make silly content. Bugez is the same. Meme lifts. But... he doesn’t claim anything about his training, just that it works for him, and we don’t see it all. The other 3 hours of work every day. Westside training has shit loads of sled work in it. They mention it but let’s get real. You only see the max effort single because that’s the interesting part. Just be shame less and you can present the lies.
@@Xplora213 The difference with Bugez and similar is that he's not insincere -- he's not marketing a confusing gimmick and claiming to be something he's not. He does give good advice and the dude is strong as hell. He presents himself sincerely, as does Zack (although Zack is obviously giving much more educational content on the regular), as does someone like Kyriakos. You know what you're getting, whereas with Seedman, it's a whole lot of gimmickery.
This is literally the same conclusion I came to as soon at this conman of a coach said "80% of what I do is foundational movements" and "my titles have to catch people's attention" and "I pick flashy movements". It is SO obvious and he admits it! It won't matter though. The algo continues it's destructive path and those with no shame will follow it into the depths of moral hell. Thanks for your great content as usual, Za...I mean God.
Firstly Joel knew he would stand no chance if he tried to defend his BS against Mike so he was basically on damage control to minimise the damage Mike could do to him. Secondly we also basically got a confession from Joel that he understands it’s conventional training that gives you real results and that the unstable stuff is literally a marketing gimmick because people that don’t know better are more attracted to it so he takes advantage of it.
I commented on a lot of fallacies on his tik toks when he tried to get that going and he went through and deleted them all after insulting me calling me a ‘jealous idiot’
I replicated that exercise on my channel. Quite easy, and was able to do it without making the weights swing wildly and grimace. I'm a 60 year old fat cyclist BTW
The sad thing is that just saying "Do your squats as generally prescribed by most strength coaches" isn't going to make it easy to get the clicks and the cash that comes from it. If efficacy of info was what decided what got you attention and money, then the fitness industry would look completely different. And most other industries, for that matter.
Jeez, I just watched half of the video. That was painful. Dr. Mike politely investigated the fellow's evidence, and all the other guy did was say, "good question" then start waffling. Lots of anecdotal evidence and circular reasoning.
The problem with videos such as this is that ultimately it's actually probably more beneficial to him than it is negative. Whilst "all PR is good PR" isn't strictly true, it does hold for the most part. If we talk about the algorithm he is only getting more exposure when people like Mike Israetel debate him. Or when you talk about him. Or when Greg Doucette talks about him. And so on. And ultimately I think you and the others know that. Whilst you want to speak against misinformation, you probably accept that it may help him and his platform, but you also care about your own platform and these type of videos get views. It feels like in many ways it's a lose/lose.

Lmao. That’s hilarious.
God why is this so funny
This comment is gold lmfao
anyone that records himself doing 1/4 squats is clearly incapable of shame.
So Eric Bugenhagen and Joel Seedman are basically the same.

Then after all that it turns out the classic safety razor is better than all of the above.
I use gilletes beard thickener, forumla it's better than their razors.
80/20 bull. Over the years he repeatedly says "conventional" lifts will wreck your knees, break your back and put you in a wheel chair.
His "conventional way" is that 90 degrees thing. The other 20% is what we called Circus.
His weird banded barbell exercise is the Joel's Oscillating Kinetic Energy squat. The JOKE squat.

Love you Zack! Keep up the content
When did Mark Bell turn into a motorcycle cop from the 80's?
Most thoughtful and insightful thing you’ve posted.
I've been so preoccupied with school that I didn't even know this was a thing. So glad I have notifications turned on this channel
Forget the scammer, did Mark Bell lose a bet? Is he starring in an 80s cop show? Is he a time traveler?
The ending "soundtrack" was gold.
was looking for this cmt xD
Great sound clip on the outro! 🤣
Doing the lord's work! Keep on calling that charlatan out, it is gaining traction now!
funniest moment for me was
Mike: "So then you consider your training more therapeutic than ergogenic?"

Nice touch at the end with the seedman grunts XD
That sound of his warm up in the end of the video has made my day😅
You can’t win a debate if you never make a tangible point
A real meeting of the mind this debate was
Lot of funky stuff going on there. Unfortunately the bizarre is what some people latch onto and buy into. Great content Zack.
The noises in the fade out was the most subtle touch and made me lose it
Can't believe your post got taken down on IG bro
I use a lot of his techniques and they have been very helpful.
