He's awesome everything was in that answer Progression injury prevention It's really not that hard he's just got a really great way of explaining things
Straight facts. Coming from high school football in Texas you can imagine how seriously they take things and if you’re not lifting what they think you should be you’ll hear about it. Nothing that put us close to death but they weren’t afraid to run you till you puke either. Somehow they had the difference between heatstroke and weakness down to a science and they had no deaths. At least while I was there. Ahh, good times 😂
My "Mount Rushmore" of hypertrophy experts on youtube is Dr. Mike Israetel, Menno Henselmans, Dr. Milo Wolf and Dr. Eric Helms. The amount of great info these guys have put out for free is just amazing.
"don't be concerned about how much weight is on the bar" is so important. When I started out I found myself sometimes reducing the weight from previous times because I realized I was doing them much more effectively at lower weights. Takes a hit on the ego at first but so worth it in the long run
Owner of the gym I go to said to me once when showing me how to properly activate all my muscles during a bench press and mind-muscle connection “forget the weights, focus on what your body is doing and the weight will follow”
I'm trying to remember to focus on form and slow controlled movement instead of how much weight I'm moving. It's tough to not let pride get me because I'm always thinking about increasing the weight 😂
Right! Form and correct movement is so much more important than the specific amount of weight you are using. A saying common among musicians is "Practicing perfectly makes perfect." I feel that also applies here.
I think it's people like this we need more of on social media. Dr Mike isn't just shitting on different exercises and foods telling you everything that is poisoning your training and destroying your gains. He gives the basic but not obvious guidelines you need to propel you to your goals and its not for views and drama.
I love how when dr. mike has a guest like him, he knows he’s super knowledgeable in his field and allows him to have the platform to spread the knowledge, and with his uh… not as reputable guests, he isn’t afraid to push back against unfounded claims. i love this guy! definitely an inspiration to start back going to the gym more!
I was depressed, overweight, and was having trouble conceiving. The best decision I ever made was going to the gym. I lifted heavy, researched and studied on how to progress and perfect my form, and enjoyed the entire process. I went to the gym 4x a week and loved meal prepping. My partner and I tired for a year through my lifting progress but it wasn’t until after a year of consistently going that we got the good news. I am now 32 weeks pregnant and me and my baby are healthy 😊 I still continue lifting at home and learned to love my body through this stage. I can’t wait to go back to the gym and bring my future gym buddy with me. Lifting weights literally saved my life and gave me the body and privilege to create another life ❤️ And I agree with Dr. Mike - form > progress. And the best way to progress is repping till failure/always challenge yourself but still being safe. You will be amazed at what your body is capable of when you treat it with respect and patience ❤️
Single most honest, safe, and thorough answer I've heard on this topic from a single source. He's fantastic at distilling a whole lot of evidence-based information in an accessible way, and one of the most intellectually honest individuals who are influencing and instructing in the field today. Major kudos for all of this. 👍
THANK YOU!! This is what I've been saying and everyone tells me to go big or go home. That's not how you really build muscle, and that's how you injure yourself Quality over quantity❤
@@jerseyjim9092Yeah, but you don’t want the weight to be so high to where it affects your technique, at least when you’re not trying to find your max. That’s true for everyone
People need o realize, going to failure on every set works, but is NOT optimal. If you're working out 4+ times a week, you need medium intensity workouts. Ive been at it for 10 years, most of em wasted on exageration and ego. Not wanting to let go of the plates while doing chest... No. There exists a thing called repetitions in reserve... And people dont realize that
@@harper07harper not bad! Tried to focus on getting the form of what I was doing correct and had a good time lifting weights. Woke up the next morning more sure than I've been in my life. Going back to do it again tomorrow.
That’s exciting! Advice you didn’t ask for, it’s easy in the beginning to overcommit and then stop going. Keeping the habit is the most important! Be kind and gentle with yourself and allow recovery. Once a week, same time and day every week, is honestly a great goal. Consistency is key!
Just remember, you’re not dropping a tall sky scraper on top of land. You’re building a good foundation from the ground and working your way up to support the next level.
Idk why gym bros are so adamant about doing deadlifts. Yes they engage practical muscles. BUT. They also carry way more risk than other lifts. You can achieve the same results without the risk. Beginners. Do not risk your back just because some gym bros on the internet tell you its one of the best lifts.
@@tykeboy16 you are unlikely to cause any severe injury if you’re dead lifting a reasonable weight. The problem is is that a lot of beginners realize that they can cheat and use their legs to lift a larger amount of weight in the dead lift would normally let them lift. And that position were beginner should be dead maybe 125 pounds winds up having a bar with 250 pounds on it because they can squat more…. And then you know that person thrown out their back…
@@tykeboy16Beginners can do deadlifts and not injure themselves. They think the weight is too easy and lift more weight while unknowingly (or hopefully unknowingly) sacrificing form. If they focused on their form before the weight they shouldn’t get anywhere near injury. It’s a classic case of needing to drop their ego until they know what they’re doing, it’s just the most common lift that ppl refuse to do so in my experience
@@roonilwazlib4433 he doesn't debunk it. He says it's fine if they have proper form and know their limits which is a completely unrealistic view since beginners do not have or know good form nor do they fully understand their limits and what they should be lifting.
That’s the correct answer to all of it. Being a personal trainer for many years I did exactly what he said to do for my own self and for my clients and it was very successful and still is.
This is sound advice. Compound motions to promote biomechanical symmetry. Low weight to decrease recovery time, increase confidence and security. Low frequency to keep you invested. I love Dr. Mike's way of explaining things. You can tell he really cares about what words he is using
This is probably the most succinct and easy to follow advice I’ve ever heard condensed into a 30 second clip. That’s years worth of knowledge right there.
If you watch the full interview, or at least the last... 30min of it, he's pretty open about actively being on a TON of steroids during this chat. I believe he says his testosterone is effectively 25x the normal biological range.
Dr Mike actually KNOWS what he’s talking about. Dude not only has a degree in this, but also works with clients and practices what he preaches. He’s one of the most well informed people I’ve watched.
As a fellow gym enjoyer myself, I loved this. Straight and to the point, with a fairly broad range so you can adapt your training depending on your goals!
I have been pretty weak my entire life. Because of that i was always too embarrassed to go to the gym. So i just got a weight bench a couple weeks ago and have been working out on my own and seeing this video really helped.
What I love about this is someone who loves exercise and encourages people to do this since that's one. Commenter said everyone's body's slightly different but there are general rules you can do. This is going to relate to the second thing I'm about to say which is that for most people? Unless you have a physical or mental disability, it's really this simple and easy. I know people and I've worked with people who are mentally and physically disabled. Sometimes both and when they do this type of stuff within their abilities they also get great result. The problem is is that thanks to media and social pressure feeding off of each other, especially on the internet, it's not that you're not going to get results. It's just due to everyone's body being different. It's going to take time and the problem is we live in a society where we want instant results. For some people lifting weights is you're going to notice the difference a month later some people it's three, some people it's going to take a year or three and even for the people who are lucky to grow, they might not grow due to genetics to the image that they have in their head. Even though they're they are stronger and way healthier. And this is where pharmaceutical companies, the supplements, scam industries and the influencer assholes wedge their way in. It's not about easy because exercise is actually very easy for the majority of the population. Even with time factors and a bad economy, the issue is we want instant results. We don't have patience whether it's personal flaws, outside influence, and usually both and therefore people fall into scams and traps that make them unhealthy like what you see on the internet.
Followed Dr. Mike due to this podcast and he is so smart, such a pleasure to listen to him. I genuinely feel dumb when I do because of how well spoken he is but it's good to feel dumb from time to time.
This is the advice most people need to hear. You have some guy out here saying "work harder than last time". That isn't always the best way to progress. Sometimes you need to stick to the same weight until you are doing better reps
This is hands down the best advice anyone could give for beginners to weightlifting. Start slow, start moderate, pay attention and listen to your body. You're not there for anyone but yourself.
I really like these interviews Dr. Mike does. They are very informative I've watched a couple all the way thru but these little snippets are also so great.
Yeah, I tried that in my mid 30s, squats, deadlifts, shoulder press, bench press, bent over rows, 5x5. And ate a lot, got great results pretty quickly, and I have poor muscle building genetics.
I’m in my early 40s wanting to get my body back after a decade of illness and more than 30 lbs weight loss. I’m gonna go with this dude’s advice on exercises, but what kind of diet would you recommend for gains? Any and all advice is much appreciated!
@@Alex_G_M Maybe just start working out slowly, it will give you an appetite for sure, just eat enough that you have energy and are not feeling hungry. I would avoid protein shakes and stuff like that. Just normal home cooked food and see how it goes. Sleep lots and hydrate. Go real slow with the weights, there is no rush and it's so easy to hurt yourself if you've not been exercising for that long. Stick with the compound exercises for a couple of months, be careful with your back. I'm going back to the gym after a long lay off myself, and I'm going to be taking this advice myself, I'm 47, and for sure it's taking longer for injuries to heal.
@@Alex_G_M Chicken breast is a staple. Relatively cheap, source of high protein, low fat. Eggs. Some nuts/avocado for healthy fat. Aim for at LEAST 0.8gr of protein/lbs bw or 1.8gr / kg bw. Eat a lot more than u used to. Around 400 more calories. Protein shakes helps, easy to consume no prep time wasted, dont worry theyre not poisonous to ur body like most parents say. Thats it.
THIS. Don't try dramatically increasing the weight or you'll risk an injury that'll take weeks to heal and you'll lose a lot of your gains in the meantime.
When I was younger I was all about "how much weight can I bench press" now that I'm in my 40s I'm all about technique and control. I definitely don't care how much weight is on the bar. It's way more about "look good feel good" definitely wish I had learned this before messing up my joints and ligaments
“ if you want to get started, lifting weights, just go lift some weights” It’s a very weird idiom, but it just means that if you wanna do something, you just need to do it. Even if it’s an odd thing.
simple advice many people need to hear. It’s this straightforward guys! It took me years to realize how to actually progress the right way lol. This guy sums it up in 30 seconds.
This was one of the MOST valuable piece of information for even people who think they are some what experienced. Your form is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things when lifting ANYTHING... but when working out, your form ALWAYS NEEDS to be "reasonable"... If your form isn't great, DO NOT ADD ANY WEIGHT until you do have that form down. Then start adding weight... Do not add weight if you do not have that basic form for that workout because THAT is how you get hurt and prevent yourself from working out.
Technique is so important in the beginning. That way regardless of how strong you get you'll be confident of the exercise your doing. Love this advice.
Slow and steady truly does win the race when it comes to exercise, especially when it comes to things you’ve never done before. Listen to your body and don’t compare yourself with anyone else but you. Trying new things is hard, don’t worry, you’re doing great ♥️
So glad Dr. Mike is being put on a platform for the average lifter/consumer. His and Jeff Nippard’s information is top tier-and breaks down so many misconceptions about proper lifting
The way he explains it makes me actually want to exercise. I've been lifting weights for the past week after watchinf a video of his and I've never been this consistent. Hope this continues.
Very good tip for someone who's been exercising. Weightlifting but I will be focusing on the physiology and function of each group of muscle and use medium weight to try to fatigue
Very good advice with no workout specifications. Everyone is different, but they should be able to do all these things easily for themselves before even needing a trainer
That was probably the most reasonable answer to how to start exercising I have ever heard. Guidelines, not rules. Because everyone is different.
I literally was about to comment this!!!!
I think the implied rule is: you don’t need to overthink it
He's awesome everything was in that answer Progression injury prevention It's really not that hard he's just got a really great way of explaining things

This was one of the MOST valuable piece of information for even people who think they are some what experienced. Your form is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things when lifting ANYTHING... but when working out, your form ALWAYS NEEDS to be "reasonable"... If your form isn't great, DO NOT ADD ANY WEIGHT until you do have that form down. Then start adding weight... Do not add weight if you do not have that basic form for that workout because THAT is how you get hurt and prevent yourself from working out.
That is literally the best advice ive heard on this entire website
Technique is so important in the beginning. That way regardless of how strong you get you'll be confident of the exercise your doing. Love this advice.
I like this guy.
Probably the best overview of starting with weights I have seen
Slow and steady truly does win the race when it comes to exercise, especially when it comes to things you’ve never done before. Listen to your body and don’t compare yourself with anyone else but you. Trying new things is hard, don’t worry, you’re doing great ♥️
His voice is incredibly soothing
The way he speaks is so eloquent. ❤
His words are pure gold
Wow, it's so relieving to realize I'm on the correct path! Wish me luck, guys!
I have Never seen this guy before, but he seems super down to earth and chill. I would like to hear more advices from him. ✌🏾🔝
So glad Dr. Mike is being put on a platform for the average lifter/consumer.
His and Jeff Nippard’s information is top tier-and breaks down so many misconceptions about proper lifting
The way he explains it makes me actually want to exercise. I've been lifting weights for the past week after watchinf a video of his and I've never been this consistent. Hope this continues.
This is exactly why I listen to Dr Mike. Thanks again. 👍👏🧠☯️
God i love that man, the wisdom on him is immaculate
Best content I've seen on this site.
Very good tip for someone who's been exercising. Weightlifting but I will be focusing on the physiology and function of each group of muscle and use medium weight to try to fatigue
Dr Mike makes it sounds really easy and low key
Great explanation
It is human beings like this that motivate nobodies like me to start bettering myself.
Very good advice with no workout specifications. Everyone is different, but they should be able to do all these things easily for themselves before even needing a trainer
My two favorite doctors in the world collaborating was such a treat. Loved this podcast
Such amazing, coherent, straightforward advice for beginners. Amazing
