Mike simultaneously proving why he would be a phenomenal celebrity trainer and why no female celebrity would be comfortable working with him
From some of the shit this man says. Most men would feel some type of way arround him.
🤣🤣🤣 👍💯
@ChefofWar33 everyone be feeling a type of way around doctor mike
Female celebrities are uncomfortable working out with anyone; all these "learn how Betty White got in the shape of her life to play John Matrix" campaigns are just crap to pretend like they're female Tom Cruises, Jackie Chans or Bruce Lees. It's why like 90% of these celebrity training videos are just blonde dudes with fades talking straight-on to a camera. As soon as we actually realize their routines consist of cigarettes, starvation, pilates, running around with bodyguards, and whatever the body doubles and stunt doubles do, it kinda ruins the illusion.
This most real comment on this video. Also lmfao at the blonde dudes with fades thing.
* Deletes my RP Hypertrophy app and downloads the Magnus app *
*delete all apps and just take advice from influencers*
😂😂😂😂😂
Yep that's the TLDR summary...
Dont forget to give negative review 😂😂😂 peace and love ❤
Ahahhahaha😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the levity. My feed has had me down lately. Sorry you had to bear this RP. I still love you.
I am a woman and agree that a character like Wonder Woman should have more muscle. Also not be running in 6 inch heels as if Gal needed them to look like she had long legs! As a woman I was really dissappointed to have her character heralded as a wonderful portrayal of a strong woman given what real female athletes actually look like!
I never saw the movie so I was shocked to see how thin she is in the film! Really strange looking
I would have picked Katlen Touhouy for Wonder Woman and used Hollywood magic to make her taller. She’s crazy muscular for a long distance runner. Katelyn Tuohy
@@aethylwulfeiii6502She would've been great or Gina Carano, formerly in UFC, now acting.
The way she looked was for the men, not the realism. As long as men want to bang her, Hollywood is doing their job and will continue to make billions.
Ma Gal Gadot sa recitare, è molto espressiva. Dove la trovi una reale atleta capace di recitare almeno discretamente? Tutte le alternative "muscolari" a Gal Gadot che ho visto erano ridicole.
Can we just say that Doctor Mike's sense of humour makes his great advice so much more enjoyable? 😂
i found this guy having a wicked laugh at captian marvel and have been loving every video since
Especially the 2:30 mark
Ladies, Mike's sense of humor is the first trait that I look for in a man
Indeed, gay clubs are missing out on a great stand up comedian
Magnus is a beast fitting 3+2 days of training into his 4 day weeks.
In a 7 day week we have a 5 day training split of 3+2 days with a 4 day eating split of 17 out of 20 meals being good and 3 meals for living. Write that down!
😂
Some Tito Ortiz level math, there.
@@kman9884ma not culture 😊
@@kman9884I wanna outlive my kids, ya know?
Dr. Mike is slowly loosing his already questionable sanity the longer this series continues, I love it.
"people finish on me while i am on my knees...."
Yeah, saying high blood sugar has no effect since the body works its hardest to bring it down quickly is a bit loony. We can measure this: for the same glycation level, a more even blood sugar results in fewer new blood cells, ie. stable blood sugar results in less glycation damage and longer lived blood cells. IIRC there is also evidence that high blood sugar spikes negatively affect the walls of the arteries too, but I cannot remember the specifics
And I am loving it lol
an honor to be the 500 liker.
@@defeqel6537No.
I'm a skinny woman, so I know it's hard to put on muscle naturally, but I'm also not being payed millions to look the part, and looking at these exercises, now we know why Gal doesn't look a bit more like WW in the comics. Her arms should look like Linda Hamilton's arms in Terminator 2, that's actually my personal goal.
no her arms shouldn't look that way, Wonder women is a literal demi god with supernatural strength, why would someone whose strength is by definition not natural look like a body builder?
@@houseofactionCounterpoint: Superman, as well as every male hero/villain with superstrength. WW, at least, can be argued should be divinely perfect including her muscles.
@@houseofactionlegit one of the dumbest things i've heard. the others already gave great counterpoints to your argument (superman etc), so im just gonna add, she doesnt have to look like a fucking bodybuilder. but she literally looks like she doesnt lift weights. she looks dyel. absolutely pathetic for a superhero role
@@houseofaction To build on what @institches2750 already pointed out, Wonder Woman is a being based out of Greco-Roman classical mythology--Greek more than Roman, and the Greeks were obsessed with the athletic physiques and aesthetics, something that's enormously evident when studying Greco-Roman art, and in the first Wonder Woman movie many of the women who were playing the various Amazons definitely fulfilled how the Greco-Romans portrayed their war and warrior gods and goddesses--far more than Gal Gadot herself. She was definitely "fit" by Hollywood standards but not by what would fit the bill for an athlete--again the women playing the various Amazons (because they were actual athletes and strength trainers) looked the part far more.
Yeeeeeeessss! I loved Linda Hamilton's physique! I neeeed her shoulders!
In ballet, the core work with leg kicks like that was to establish balance control in motion. It's meant to be "stabilizer strength training"
but it does nothing for ww's physique, so useless for the actress
Lmao Dr. Mike's impersonation of a Nordic accent is amazing. I couldn't stop laughing.
I live in Norway and I've never heard anyone talk like this outside of Skyrim.
It's so accurate! 😂
@@dessertstorm7476 That's funny because Knut speaks just like this. Now that I come to think about it he's my only actual reference. Haha.
@@dessertstorm7476 sounds like an icelandic accent to me
Actually, it is very extremely offensive.
First, I’m a woman, also, and I agree! I was expecting Wonder Woman to be jacked and was excited about that idea! She’s gorgeous of course, but I wanted someone who looked like a superhero.
100% agree
dude I'm way more jacked than she is and I'm only 115 right now lol but I got 11 in biceps
I think she would look gorgeous jacked.
Now we know why she's not jacked
same.
Mikes humor is so underrated… not to add his knowledge and way of explaining …. This guy should be on JRE with 5 hours podcast.
I wouldn't be able to tell who is who.

Nobody with actual knowledge and anything resembling a conscience should be wasting their time even listening to Joe Rogan. Nevermind being on his shitty podcast.
@@Vivi2372 take it easy killer
Mike's comment about the "cheat" meals is so spot on.
I've been a bodybuilder for over a decade and as I got older my capacity to lose weight while having cheat meals drastically went down in my 30s.
In my 20s I could eat pretty perfectly Sun-Fri, and then "anything" I wanted on Saturday and still see weight loss.
In my 30s anything more than a few slices of pizza/more than a few drinks is enough to basically reverse any progress from the week.
While I get what the trainer is saying, for most people, if you want to lose weight it's more like 90/10. (90% of your meals should be flawless, 10% you can indulge a TINY bit.)
The problem is it's a really slippery slope. A really bad cheat day (or even a really indulgent cheat meal/too much alcohol) can literally reverse 6 days of perfect dieting.
What works for me is if I'm genuinely trying to hit a weight loss goal, I have one cheat meal, that's it. And usually it's still pretty clean. (like I might have a few slices of pizza or something but ensure my calorie intake is much lower on that day)
It's honestly much easier to just always eat clean until you reach your goals. It takes more discipline to manage eating poorly every once and awhile than just being aware all the time. It's SO easy to over indulge and have your week go from 2 steps forwards to 1-1.5 steps back.
I mean yea, it's even more simple to just always eat healthy regardless but I think people just like food that isn't healthy? Like Bread or maybe like some ice-cream.
What kind of defecit are we talking on the diet per day? And how big is your cheat meal? Because if you're on a 500 cal/day defecit you'll have to eat a 3000 cal cheat meal to offeset it.
compaing BREAD with ice cream is crazy omfg @@kiraphobia222
Cheat meals are the only thing that keep me consistent. With that being said I still don’t go absolutely nuts with my cheat meals, i portion control like crazy . Different strokes
Iv been lifting at a high level for 17 years. bodybuilding at the pro level is a horrible idea. The drugs involved etc. eating clean like you mentioned all the time is not optimal. Period. You can not eat and lose weight to doesn’t mean it’s heathy. Plus health shouldn’t ever come out of pros mouth when they are on the needle 💉. It’s a complete contradiction
I'm confident that Hollywood will be calling you soon Mike. Doing this series will open their eyes. I love your sense of humour!
No they wont. They won't platform people who poopoo their methods.
If Hollywood is known for one Thing, its that they never open their Eyes 😆
@@F1DD3 their eyes are wide open. A requirement for meticulous control.

One of the best series he made for sure.
More have already been recorded and more to come! - Dr. Mike
I just discovered your channel and am equal parts impressed with your insane level of knowledge and entertained by your (slightly inappropriate) sense of humor which is a fun combo. Looking forward to consuming all the content.
I love your videos and critiques on people feeding the world BS. I grew up with bodybuilders as family members, college physical training, and science education. You are so spot on and wish more people would follow. Thank you for keeping us and me safe and healthy.
People back in the day would be like " of course celebrities are always in good shape they have the best trainers" meanwhile the trainers in question
I want to hear from their between movie trainers.
People still hold that opinion and use it as an excuse as to why normal people can't get in shape.
@@ibrahimtastekin275 Round is a shape
@@ibrahimtastekin275I can't blame them when you look at these acclaimed trainers and they tell you to do the most absurd and alien movements possible.
tbh being in shape is mainly about diet. even if your fucking around in the gym if your workout isnt completely trash and your diet is excellent your probably gonna look decent, and they seem to be better on nutrition than training
Nah, you're not going to feminist hell for saying they should have put more muscle on Godot. My mom, born the same year Wonder Woman was created, always wanted to BE Wonder Woman as a little girl (also met my father in a weight lifting studio way back in the 50s) exclaimed upon first seeing Godot when we went to see the first movie together, "But...she's so...skinny?!"😂
(Won my mom over by the end. It was a fun movie for mom-daughter bonding.)
It’s so funny because she lost me by watching the film.
I went into it thinking she was gorgeous and if she got in shape she would be a fantastic Wonder Woman. Then she ends up not getting into shape, and her acting was wooden (completely lacking any emotion), and at the level I would expect of the best actress at your high school.
I completely lost interest in the WW films after seeing her in the first one.
W mom
How did your Mom grow up as a WW fan yet not know that she was always skinny? This story just sounds made up.
@@waleedabbas4996 huh? Wonder woman was jacked, not skinny.
"Fist your way to success" 😂😂 this one just made my day!! Imma use it for sure! 😂
16:40 agreed. i rotate my spine all the time when working out. I have a few somewhat sketch work outs that i do when im strapped for time that are basically just swinging dumbbells back and forth in different motions. If anything my back feels great after the audible pops happen lol
I love that you made this review. When I saw Wonder Woman, it bothered me so much that Gal Gadot didn't look absolutely jacked. Someone told me- "Well, Wonder Woman doesn't have to look strong, she's a super hero, she can just naturally do that stuff". And my response was maybe a bit extreme but it pissed me off.... Let's name all of the male super heroes that look jacked AF: HULK, Superman, Batman, Thor, Aquaman, Black Panther, Captain America, Wolverine, Vision....I can keep going!! The only female superheroes I ever see looking strong AF are the Dora Milaje. Wakanda!! But really, it would be awesome to see more female superheroes who actually look the part - not just thin with tight pants.
people saying she doesn't NEED to look super jacked are also completely ignoring that she is, in fact, super jacked in the comics
I mean yeah, man superheroes are jacked, yet they all too lean also. If you want optimal general hero-style physical performance, i guess it's be better to have 15-20% bodyfat and not to have 6-pack abs. Again, it's just Hollywood and they trying to put beautiful attractive people to fulfill the masses and not made an realistic apperience.
I pointed that out through out the whole promotional activities and the second film. But was shut down by people who thought I am jealous.
Me too! I thought the exact same thing. She's pretty... and tall... and... ... ... ... ...
It's a lot harder for women to get "jacked" then it is for guys. They have a fraction of the anabolic hormones in their bodies naturally as compared to men. And the side effects of gear for them are more extreme and risky since its even further away from being natural to their bodies--excessive body and/or facial hair, enlarged clit, various health and mood issue potentials, sky rocketing sex drive, etc. (Note, not all gear will have those effects though).
This is real life, not a comic. Because of these innate issues of biology, I'm a little more tolerant of female actresses playing super heroes not being jacked. But there are some women out there that are jacked (don't know how many are completely natural). I think Gina Carano would have been a good person to play Wonder Woman. She's attractive, dark haired, tallish, and definitely more muscular and physically trained in combative sports than Gal Gadot.
Not sure if Magnus is the best coach or nutritionist in the Hollywood, but he's definitely the best pharmacist
Yep. That's why the women he trains look like they did almost nothing. No young healthy woman is gonna want to take ALL THE GEAR. Like the men do.
Man feeds his clients juicy vitamins and anabolic chicken rice and broccoli
Pretty sure she wasn't eating 240 grams of carbs...looked like alot of salad
@@peaches9048 I'm sure some things were added to add carbs

Your literally my new FAVOURITE channel!!!
I agree with the Wonder Woman comment. She’s beautiful, looks great for someone who goes to the gym everyday for Zumba and maintains her weight with lean cuisine’s but Wonder Woman Should have a bit more muscle density and shape.
My favourite part about the whole ‘17/20, 4-day cycle’ is that if you scale it up to 7 days, it’s actually way simpler.
There’s 35 meals. With the same ratio, you get ~5 cheat meals - WHICH IS JUST A CHEAT DAY…
Don't question the Magnus Method™.
That's hilarious. He should've incorporated decimals to make it super complicated. "Gal eats on a 13 day food cycle, and she eats 5.5 meals per day. Using precise science and a TI-84, we discovered she should get 10.7 cheat meals. This is calibrated very precisely. On the eve of her 520th eating day, she may have one extra cheat meal; this cheat meal is akin to a leap day on the Gregorian calendar.
You'll never deconstruct how we discovered this, so just give up all hope and pay us."
@@2lostbikes this is hilarious 😂 😂 😂
Lmao didn’t even think about it for a minute just was like “ok Hollywood being different for the sake of being different but nope just repackaging for no reason 😂
Sounds to easy to be fancy enough for superheroes tho.😂
I had the exact same thought on Wonder Woman's physique.
When I think of 'Wonder Woman', I think of a beefed up (yet lean) Amazonian goddess. Gal is just kind of like normal-slim? Maybe toned is the right word? But either way, not what I envision when I think of a warrior princess. But hey, that's just me. She's a fine wonderwoman, but I just wish she looked the part a little bit more.
Personally, I really do find more attraction in slim, toned, women more than any ripped or super skinny chicks, I'm talking as to where I can see bones, I don't like either of those extremes.
I do like a woman who is fit, and in shape, and who can do kinda the same stuff as my athletically.
Totally agree. Gal hardly looks like an Amazon goddess. She looks like she was going to break in half. Way too fragile and delicate and skinny. Not super hero material.
@@zaynes5094 No one asked what you were attracted to though? The point was supposed to be what suits Wonder Woman as a character, not your dick
@@zaynes5094 sure but a female superhero role should maybe be based more on contextual correctness and not attractiveness to straight dudes I feel like
You are not wrong obviously, Amazonian warriors train like a mf day in and day out, at least get me some solid shoulder mass and i'm sold.
"But that wouldn't sell so much" - some old deluded mf in Warner Bros probably.
Love these videos! Please don't stop!
The mountain climber reminded me of yoga move, from downward dog with a leg raised, bringing that leg to the opposite elbow. My initial thought was the kick (as long as not done fast/hard) adds strength and flexibility to the hip. Also kind of reminded me of a side plank with a leg raised as the load has to shift more to one arm to maintain balance and the hip carries that extra load. I think I'll try this in a tabata on my next hiit workout, alternating normal mountain climbers with this just for (lol) kicks.
I would legit want to see the stuntmen and women's routines preparing for shit like this. That'd be pretty badass.
Oh no, I just searched and Sam Hargrave of Cap2 was doing KB Squats standing on a Stability Ball...
Way more interesting than any damn actor. Especially the women.
I think a few of the girls who played warriors from Wonder Woman's island were world level cross fit people
@@mydavegabicycle Haha, ofcourse he did
@@mydavegabicycle that makes sense - stunt people would train for actual performance, strength, athleticism, not muscles. Only the stars should be training looks via bodybuilding. The training for the two are fundamentally different and nothing Dr. Mike talked about in this video would apply to stunt training.
Me, still a newbie: That doesn't look like a lat pull down...
Dr. Mike: "...that's not really a lat pull down."
Me: Oh my God, I'm LEARNDING! 🎉😅😅
This was me when i was thinking just do hanging leg raises instead of the weird super set and then Dr. Mike said hanging knee or leg raises haha
LEARNDING DING DING DING!
She shouldn't be doing Super sets, she should be doing Wonder sets.
I’ve learned so much watching your videos. Picked up a couple bad lifting habits from HS coaches that just stuck with me, but your videos helped improve and correct🔥

it's getting too zoomer for my taste. Sadly this is a trend that will only get worse 🤒🥵👌👌
@@okarowarrior Yeah, I personally think the editing is a little cringe, but Mike's humor still shines trough so eh
yeah its great! haha humorous yet educational
Ive injured sooo many times following workout programs while having hEDS and having slipped disks. Love these break downs
I'm so glad I found this gem of a channel on RUclips. It's inspired me to start taking better care of myself and exercise. Also, Mike is funny as hell.
Magnus is fleecing Hollywood. Have to give him credit for that I guess.
100% guaranteed he got the job because he's BFFs with some big shot producer. Or maybe his boyfriend.
I wish Dr.Mike would make a review on street lifting/calisthenics athletes and their training regimen
He’s got that interview with Daniel Vadnal. I dream of the day RP has Daniel as a guest for a workout
I forgot the channel but it is these two black dudes with crazy physiques all of street pullups and pushups , they eatmainly vegan too crazy shit
Love these! Keep up the good work 💪 You keep telling the truth out here 💯
Love the "nordic accent" you do! Magnus is swedish, and as a swede myself you sound sooooo finnish 😅 I get that it sounds different to you, but it cracks me up. Thanks for the laugh! 💕
mike’s quick wit & academy award winning editing makes these so damn fun! - love the gracious giving of credit & criticism in amusing & ample doses.
Dang that’s why I’m not seeing results, I’ve been focusing on nutrition only every 8/10 meals.
Making it 17/20 is gonna make all the difference bro.
That 5% is important
@@IosifStalinsendsyoutoGulag RIGHT BABE?
Magnus has done the research, 9 out of 10 is too strict for most to follow and 8 of 10 is way too lenient so you end up fat. All hail the magical 17 out of 20 💪
Recently started watching your videos and am enjoying them so far.
When you mentioned the diet it made me wonder what your recommended diet is for someone looking to lose some fat while gaining muscle. Generally I try to eat cleanly, mostly whole foods, higher protein when incorporating strength training. My coach had suggested a diet predominantly of meats, rice (limiting brown rice and preferring white rice), fruit, and leafy greens. Honestly, I haven't tried it fully yet, but have considered it as a diet to help reduce inflammation (I tend to get that from training jiu-jitsu 6-7 days/week)
It's or maintaining weight or increasing to gain muscle. Or you first lose weight and then when you are done start gaining muscle. Only starters in the first year can decrease weight and gain muscle. I have spend way to much time trying to lose weight and gaining muscle at the same times. It's not how the body works. If the body thinks you are starving it's not going to start building muscle
Just increase your protein intake. Track your protein intake and calories overall. Train hard with weightlifting and progressively overload. You'll see results for sure.
I love your critiques because I learn so much.
Please keep making these passive aggressive celebrity training critique videos- they are becoming a real highlight to the week👌🤝
Those Magnus Norwegian impressions were hilarious. A jacked wonder women would of been great. Would be fun to actually see some muscly women in movies that look like they are strong.
"I'm not just a mean person", then immediately saying Magnus would be great as the actor for the next Wonder Woman.
Every single video, SO many laughs.
Favourite fitness channel now, by a mile.
Bro these are great videos, between you and oe fitness, you guys are locked on .
Mike I hope Hollywood ever gives you the chance to transform one A-list celebrity, and watch the world be wow'd with the real results you'll get for them with proper coaching. We're rooting for you! Thanks for being a bastion of good information sir.
I used to watch workout fails to brighten my day.....now I watch training fails with Dr. Mike, and it's a whole new high
Most people say they want to be in shape but don't actually want to do the work to do it. Food means to much to them even if it's killing them, but hey giving it up is so hard. I have lost 70 lbs by myself by pure determination and willpower. I have gone from 285 to 215 and still going. Food is nice but health is so much more important to me, we have to change our mind set or you will fail.
Your videos are highly informative and fun to watch. I still have a ways to go, but I have reversed already so many health issues that it is awesome. The only thing I wish is that my mother could be here to see I have changed my world.
Love the editing, the jokes and the content 🤌🏻👏🏻
I’d like to formally request a training video where Dr Mike puts Magnus through a shoulder workout so he can get capped delts
Don't know how it is in the USA but here in Europe Dietitian is a protected term and nutritionist is something everybody is free to call themselves.
So when you hear "I'm a nutritionist" it basically means (s)he flunked school and is googling stuff you ask.
It’s the same way in Canada at the very least. My sister is currently studying to becoming a registered dietician.
Dieticians are definitely licensed in most places in the US, but every one I've ever worked with on a patient's care plan has been about 40 years behind the curve and are giving diabetics, in particular, terrible, terrible dietary advice.
😂
Love these break downs.
You’re hilarious.
The material you work with is hilarious in a very non hilarious way.
Just good to know someone out there gets it. 👍🏾
I screen clients where i have them go through different motions so i can see where they are strong or weak. What type of injuries do they have or had, and i look for muscle imbalances. This also helps me determine if i can train them or if they require someone with better knowledge like a physical therapist.
I mostly train older people so theres a lot more things to consider. When im training someone younger with no major injuries its a lot easier and the programs look similar.
But for those types of clients (young and healthy) i try to only train with them hands on for as little as possible. Once they learn proper technique i tell them they should be able to carry on by them selves and to reach out whenever they have questions.
As a trainer i like training people who require more thought. I dont want to be a babysitter or motivator for someone i want clients that i can really turn their life around
Hopefully one day ill be a physical therapist
Love your videos and i wish i was at the level of knowledge that you are. Hopefully one day.
"Wonder woman is suppose to be jacked" thank you Dr Mike, someone FINALLY said it. Gal Gadot did a fine job but I wish they did the same as they do with the guys. Get them to really bring up their physiques.
To be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was the best that they could do for Gal. She is a naturally very skinny woman, if you’ve seen her early modeling appearances or her role in Fast 5. Some people are just not genetically suited to gaining much muscle so she was never going to match the character’s look from the comics and it was probably a challenge to even get Gal to her onscreen Wonder Woman physique,
Why? It's about what's perceived as beautiful for the sex in question, not about being jacked. It's about getting max value individuals, attractive to the audience.
So in that sense, they DID DO the same as they did with the guys - got an actor that's close to the ideal for their sex (and species 😄).
Why apply male standards of beauty to females, egalitarian?
Just came across this and love it. Keep up the good work Mike.
Dr. Mike I sometimes make the mistake of watching your critiques while working out....the finishing on my knees crack killed me....I had to restart my set lmao love your vids! Absolute legend!
19:28 He may be doing this kind of exercise not for the training aspect of it but for a bit of mobility/stretching, the spine and legs get a lot of stretch with this movement with a bit of core training so he may be trying to do exercises that incorporate some more mobility into the workout to help prevent injury. Thats the best idea I can come up with as to why he does that specifically.
"Fist your way to success!" My favorite advice I've ever heard.
“It was onnnly a matter of time until the fuckery began.” Classic Dr Mike.
Hilarious and informative 😂
Keep ‘em coming.
I’m looking forward to this, been on TRT for past 2 years, hasn’t been the greatest. Blood pressure up a lot, weight gained/water retention, estradiol went up a lot and have suffered some libido issues. Recently just got off and been going hard with the HCG. Was thinking about trying clomid/enclomiphene, as well as pregnenolone, but def interested if what you have to say
I swear that this series is worth its weight in gold. It's comedic and educational. Love the sexual innuendo 14:58 🤣😂. This series has literally everything. Dr. Mike is the goat!
Hate the sexual inuendo. Love the comedic gold. We don't need more gym creeps.
Normally I watch fitness content in a serious, learning mood, however this video literally had me crying with laughter, thankyou so much for this.
you have to bring this nordic character back in future vids indefinitely. you got it spot on. my time up that way years ago is unforgettable.
Isn’t Mike married 💀
It’s an ongoing job at this point
Love this series of videos! Have only seen 2 people so far actually do decent workouts... Henry Cavill and LeanBeefPatty.
Hopefully more to come! - Dr. Mike
Henry Cavill did decent except for that one particular workout he did
I would love to see what you think about Katee Sackhoff’s training with Steve Zim.
Do one on some of the antique york barbell and dumbbell routines they used to sell with the barbell and dumbbell sets. That would be cool.
Omg miue your humor is drier than the atacama desert. Just found your channel. I've been a no bs pt for 20 years. I appreciate your take. Thanks man. Keep it real
As someone who is 5 foot 6, and at 128 pounds, and having been training at home and at the gym for competitive Arm Wrestling, I am very curious to see a video of you possibly reacting to how arm wrestlers train. Just to see if there is by any chance a different, better, or safer way to execute certain exercises.
Really armwrestling training in and of itself is not inherently dangerous, you just have to be careful about overloading, particularly when it comes to heavy partials and when training the hand.
I made the mistake of going way to heavy on wrist curls at first as I was already pretty strong and ended up fucking up my wrist for a few months
The Mountain Climber variation is obviously a mobility exercise. Remember he stated he was training her flexibility, agility, etc. Dynamic, compound movements that replicate the some of the odd positioning of her stunts, yet done in a safe, controlled manner, seem like a good idea to me. I'm sure he isn't suggesting that it is an exercise focusing on hypertrophy.
these are the best things to workout along to ty
I gotta' say, I did magnus' ab workout routine, in which those leg click mountain climbers are part of it. It actually did work after a couple of months of consistently doing this routine and I did see results. My core wasn't very strong to begin with so perhaps these were beginner gains in that area.
I like Magnus 😊
Glad I ran into this channel! Great humor combined with genuine good advice! 💪🏻
When I was younger I’d be watching these kinds of Hollywood bs vids thinking thats the trick when all it actually did was distract me from making progress and make me want to skip certain groups because I had no alternative less complicating excersise to do
Man, that's 22 minutes pure comedy gold right there :D I laughed so hard every time they put the viking hat with the blond pigtails on Mike's head, got me every time
Love this channel but “Viking Mike” is the best thing about it… absolutely brilliant!
Mike I love your advice and humor. I have been a huge Wonder Woman fan since the 70s. Gal is amazing and I really enjoyed the 2 dedicated WW movies. One point though is she is from Israel not france and you more than most people shpuld know how to pronounce her name correctly. Your celebrity critique videos are awesome. I just need to know how to get some of their genetics. Best wishes and keep on helping us mere mortals to be better versions of ourselves.
My wife is at a pre/menopause stage of life and is about 2 or 3 months into a workout routine. I tried showing her your channel to mine for inspiration and help, and her response was that a man doesnt know anything about her age group and needs. Can you point me to content to help her?
Report her for a hate crime.
As a woman that is peri-menapausal I don't understand her logic.
I can watch your videos forever just for your humor & reactions.
U are my new hero!!!! Keep up the smackdowns!!!!!
Dr. Mike, do you ever get any feedback from these celebrities or their trainers? I love these videos.
That was a quality Scandanavian impression😂
How did i not find this mans channel sooner
I do a 5 minute warm up with assault bike as well every time I go to gym until recently the one assault bike we have is broken so I'm waiting for that to be fixed so now I do various random warm ups like stair stepper or I just count the fact I always walk or bike to gym as the warm up.
As a female, I'd rather work with you Mike. I want REAL workouts. I LOVE this video! Keep busting those myths. And may I add, most bikini competitors look more like Wonder Woman than Gal Gadot who is beautiful but not particularly tough looking.😊
Finally somebody with some influence who says what I've been thinking for years. As an avid comic book reader I stand by the assumption that Wonder woman is by all iterations and athletically built woman. Just like Superman has powers and they are apparent in his physique, Wonder woman is the same. So when they decided to do Wonder woman in the modern era I assumed they would ensure the actress was well muscled. However they kept her skinny because the industry was probably didn't want to take the risk. I agree, a true-life Wonder woman would built like a sprinter athlete, or another type of well muscled female.
I could see the sprinter athletic body type in Wonder Woman.
I could also see it how while me and a friend talked about WW and our favorites, how he described her being more like a professional Swimmer in body than a runner.
Maybe in this they wanted a beauty who was with a more slim, feminine body type like Gal. She was a model and actress, and also was a dancer.
Dancers typically have long legs and very toned bodies.
They're usually toned, but are still very feminine and thin, this is due to their training.
I told my friend this, and he somewhat reluctantly agreed, that I thought she resembled a female MMA fighter in physique. If you look at the WW in the comics, she changes from one iteration and one artist to another, if only slightly, but she really does have a fighters body.
Like pro female fighters are lean, not all are ripped (some are but not all), and they are super cut.
It's a different muscles group that are being worked in fighting and training fighting than in other sports like a sprinter or even long distance runner who will have a very slim, thin body, but one that distinctly still is very muscular.
Honestly I always kinda saw WW as this Amazonian warrior woman who was trained to be a warrior from a young age. All she knows is fighting and battles and so she would be in very good shape. She'd be in that kind of warrior shape.
Like mid to late 20s Donna Troy is more of the silky, feminine, softer body with some muscle but a bit more subtle than Diana who is the daughter of the Queen of the Amazons and was born and raised as a fighter and warrior.
@@zaynes5094 I understand what you are pointing out with this logic. However MMA fighters are not swimmer Slim. Look at Ronda Rousey, Holly Holmes or even stamp fairtex. And here's the thing even if that was the case it's still doesn't lend itself to Wonder woman. Wonder woman primarily fights in a weapons melee style where she uses Shields swords and other weapons. The constant and repetitive use of such weapons would result in added musculature to the core, shoulders, rhomboids, triceps and biceps. Not the frail build of a VS model. It would probably result in a more crossfit-style woman. I think the reason they didn't go this way was, they didn't want to risk appealing to the dad bod type that sexualize thin women. They were more interested in ensuring people could sexualize the actress than they were win portraying a female warrior. Which I understand why they would think that if they were operating from a fear-based approach. However I personally see it as a missed opportunity to give little girls a symbol that echoes: it's okay to have strong physicality and occupies space. You don't have to shrink and be the size of a frail woman to be considered beautiful. Till this day we have a social stigma that teaches young women that they should aim to shrink and disappear rather than strengthen and occupies space. Missed opportunity to display strength as not just an inheritantly masculine trait.
@@Naldo411appealing to dad boss?
@@edanridge3023 I misspelled that.. meant to write "dad bods"
I think Dr. Mike is one of my favorite comedians. I’m also in 100% agreement that they need to have some of these women who are playing these physical roles to actually have some muscles to do the same thing with Angelina Jolie. She’s supposed to be kicking guys bus to her like 250 pounds and she weighs like 90 pounds soaking wet it’s ridiculous that’s Hollywood.
I just left a comment to this effect as well. I saw the video of her training for that movie and in the beginning she couldn’t even lift the guns she would be using in the filming of the movie hahahah. Her physique barely changed from the beginning of her training to when she filmed so … ya, pretty ridiculous. At least Alicia Vikander had visible muscle when she played the role, but I think she’s even tinier than Angelina. Farcical.
@@northwoodfalls1403 There's only one way most women(or men) are going to get "jacked" in a few months, if ever. I can't blame her for not wanting to go that route.
One of the funniest videos I have watched in my life, doctor mike is a national treasure
These are the greatest videos I’ve ever seen
As A Norwegian I am now more in love with you since you made fun of swedish people extra points for you lol. IF I ate only a fist of everything I would starve though , unless I am misunderstanding what he is trying to say
I used to wonder why I didn't make it as personal trainer in Hollywood. Now I understand. You can't just learn from Mike, the viking and expect to be called by Hollywood. They don't want overqualified staff.
The RP app keeps getting mentioned but I don’t see it anywhere on Apple’s App Store. Is it not available on iOS?
ive been seeing a lot about training core less in crunches and more in things like the mountain climber or panking and moving weight from side to side etc. better for pelvic floor and diastasis etc. Im betting you have a video on it ...
