Could you please make a video at some point in the future about Rib Flair? It’s very hard to find anything about it and i’m not even sure if its a real thing or if its like ‘good posture’ and just genetics. If it’s real what would you recommend as a fix?
It would be great if you could make a video on strength training for endurance athletes/mountain runners. The goal would be to gain strength and to prevent injury without adding too much mass and weight. Also, it would be interesting to have your take on how to integrate the strength sessions in the endurance training plan and in which order to perform cardio and strength.
Completely unrelated. I have a dog with separation anxiety. While I was watching this latest Dr Mike video she dozed off. I left the apartment with the video still playing and returned to find her peacefully sleeping- a first since I've had her. Thank you RP
That’s tough, I’ve known friends with dogs like that and they genuinely are depressed the second you are gone and don’t know what to do, it’s really sad and makes you wonder why.
Oh, but there is Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru! (jocking, jocking! Though it is fairly accurate for edutainment anime whose delivery caused much right hand excercise *winkwink*)
His own workout videos are what helped me a lot. But yeah his critique videos are like the icing on the cake in terms of helping us really polish up our own workouts.
Absolutely love Dr. Mike's humour. When I have a bad day I just as much watch his videos for the knowledge as well as the brilliant comedy which instantly makes me feel better.
I almost always agree with Dr. Mike. On tactile cues, I deviate. When my clients start to fatigue, they start to go into “automated mode” and fail to focus on the target muscle group[s]. A little reminder usually refocuses the client and returns them to quality reps. I only use this method when necessary. Knowing your clients is essential for knowing which cue would be more effective in different situations.
@@Koroar I get what you mean. I think the trainer in this video was trying to encourage JJW to continue to go in a certain direction rather than touch the specific muscle [group]. After a while, the arms don’t want to raise anymore. A little “help” can **maybe** assist? It’s not exactly how I would go about it, but I think that’s the intention.
Yea I always do this to my clients when they are squatting. Touching their glutes really fires them. Pro tip: if you touch them with your face it's even more effective
I think it's a pretty reasonable assumption that he was helping with timing with a tactile cue, plus the slight touch likely gives the body the illusion of stability without actually aiding in the rep (like when you're trying to balance on one leg or handstand and BARELY touch something for significantly more stability).
I absolutely freaking love you, Dr. Mike!!! Not only is your content super helpful, but you are one of the funniest people I have ever came accross...I used to watch stand-up comedy all the time, but have converted to your channel now for efficiency purposes - get my hypertrophy knowledge in and my laughs!! Brilliant stuff!! 😂❤
Legit blew my mind with the finger positions on front raises. I’ve been doing them for my front delt but gripping normally and wondering why I never felt it. I immediately grabbed a dumbbell and tried thumb up and could feel the difference. Thank you Dr Mike
I’m so glad you are talking about Hani’s training. I’ve been really confused when I saw him talking about his training and wondering if it actually was most optimal for training for hypertrophy. Thanks for the breakdown:)
Have in mind that he is specialized in genetic freaks with a pharmacie running on their blood. So not necessarily the best advice for an average lifter, specially if natty.
Whatever he's doing is working. Maybe it's training or maybe he's got some next level PED regimen. OR he picks the best clients who would've succeeded with or without him.
@@chrism45he trains guys already at peak genetics and trained for decades. Most likely his biggest strength is how he preps them for being on stage from a few weeks out.
@@joshgill3189 Definitely, Hadi for instance wins by conditioning, not by his body necessarily. Cbum is simply a genetic specimen that looked like a beast at 18, he would have looked great even without him.
Mike, I'm in tears every time I listen. You are fucking hilarious! I went right to the membership and joined for both the training education and comic relief! 😂
Would love to see a “Training the Perfect [Pitcher, Linebacker, Point Guard, etc]” Would be fascinating to see how Mike would prescribe the balance of sports specific movements vs strength training vs cardio etc I’ve mentioned this before, and another commenter mentioned James on your team. Would be great to have him as a guest on a series like this, with your modern/improved production value you’ve had the last couple years. This is my third time making this comment. Mike, feel free to shut me down if I should stop
@5:25 that finger assist is a mental help. it makes it feel as if the spotter is helping therefore more and or better reps, with no real assist just mental.
"This sort of gripping around the waist Titanic bullshit they got going on over here.... It's hot and all and I'm all here for it.... But it might not be very, very effective..."😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Here's why coaches all throughout the the fitness industry come up with fancy sounding or looking shit likes "F8STS" or whatever, and also why they do things like assist the athlete with "forced" reps, and or why they thouch them, or have them flex really, really hard between sets. It's because they are afraid that if they don't, the athlete wont keep them around. It's really that simple. They feel they have to earn their keep so to speak, some they come up with bullshit that really only wastes time, but looks or sounds impressive. The truth is that sound training principles, nutrition information, and coaching is simple and boring, so they have do stuff to market themselves or "spice things up," to sell programs. They're just trying to set themselves apart from the competition, and fair enough, I suppose.
@BigDees19 i think it is more of the fact they know what he is talking about and people like cbum jay and more is because they have seen the results and he has tested as a good coach
Your content is incredible Dr. Mike & The whole RP Team! Please consider critiquing the videos of Phil Health & Will Tennyson training together. I think you'll be very impressed with what you see and have just a couple of minor critiques.
0:07 and 13:04 HOLY SH*T, were those hilarious !!!!! 5:17 the Titanic gripping around the waist was another gem. 13:21 OMG. These are yet more reasons why Dr. Mike is one of THE most entertaining hypertrophy RUclipsrs in the world. Dr. Mike needs to do stand-up comedy and take his show on the road! ; )
I got a tip long ago, that turning up the pinkie fingers while doing lateral raises hits the side felt almost exclusively. It’s cool to know I was doing the correct thing all these years later. I a, a N.A.S.M and Apex Certified trainer, but didn’t have the fortitude to get an exercise science degree. I did take courses in college, and did extremely well in the classes that had to do with my major; I left because of the history, math, and other irrelevant stuff I didn’t need to know. Love your channel, Mike. Peace.
The random touching might be intentional. In the suiting industry it was useful to touch arms, shoulders and safe areas early on. It builds trust, shows competence when done very matter-of-fact. Removed the awkwardness when you need to tug at pants for seat/crotch adjustments... But hopefully they aren't doing that at the gym!
This is true! The man who needed to measure my sizes for my suit touched my d*ck first. I was so relaxed and trusted him so much. He really showed his competence.
Hey Renaissance Periodization. I'm loving these kinds of videos where you critique fitness influencers on their tecnique, what they are doing good, what they are doing bad and what they could be doing better. Could you consider one day critiquing Jay cutler training chest with john medows for instance? They seem to be doing alot of volume work, counting in sets where they obviosuly have way more in the tank ( more then 3 reps in the reserve ) and counting them as working sets. I'd be curious to hear why they do what they do and why it may work for them and not for others etc. And I would love to hear from you why Jay Cutler uses almost half range of motion on his exercises, yet still he is able to grow and be the champion and what he does. Much love keep up the good work
I just want to say that Jesse seems like a really good guy. I used to often see him at my gym before he gained traction and he was always super polite and apologetic about being in people's spaces or recording. I hope he stays natty and inspires all these shithead teenage boys to stop doing sarms or doing dumb ass tren challenges.
Some physical therapists and athletic trainers I've worked with will sometimes use a touch to a muscle body to try and queue muscle activation in rehab (always consensually). I don't personally use this method and am unsure of the research behind it but anecdotally they claim that it helps patients improve muscle activation post-injury when the mind-muscle connection may be particularly weak
I am an exercise physiologist. It is called tactile stimulation. I have been working with TBI and stroke survivors for 14 years. It works big time to get the neuromuscular connection when the muscle is dormant or if there is a default connection to another area of muscle that is too dominant.
We have studies showing patient outcomes go way up when the doctor asks how their day is going. So whether something "works" can often be just a mental thing.
Hi Mike, flexing between sets - Andy Galpin, Andrew Huberman and I think Jonnie Shreve as well - they spoke about benefits of doing so. It actually supports better muscle growth. Not by far but at least the academia had noticed that in the research evaluation. Nevertheless it makes you weaker for the next set - so the question could be: do we gain what we lose in volume with the weaker sets?
The app is not only incredible for tracking and programming for yourself but if you have clients, it’s also phenomenal for managing their programs, volume, intensity etc…
The situps thing... 😂 When I hear anyone say they're doing 100 reps of anything I have to wonder about what it is they're actually doing. Ab work is tough. Like, I'm no builder for sure but I try to maintain some degree of core strength for what I do and if you're really trying to engage the abs it's tough work. I find it mentally tough as well because it can be a real battle to set off correctly for each rep with the abs initiating the movement . Although I tend to do other movements as opposed to traditional situps these days and my lower back seems to be thanking me for it. Thanks for your videos. Although I'm not out to achieve massive amounts of hypertrophy, I still find your insights really helpful here and it's a super entertaining channel.

Possibly because of the background music
Looks like you stumbled upon your dog's sleeping playlist. Sounds like an absolute win.

Antifreeze works well
0:15 the greg doucette impression is uncanny
love the resting point you made a lot of people talk about “keeping tension” but end up losing reps altogether.
He also said if you don’t rest on the set you end up making same muscle it’s just preference on the reps side
The stretch and squeeze is more important than keeping tension.
Incorrect @@merkamark . You must be new to RP! The stretch is what tears the muscle fibers apart and causes the most hypertrophy!
@@ReizokoRyu You must be new to reading. That is what I said.
Stretch and tension > squeeze @@merkamark

That would be so fucking sick!
Yessssssss fuck yesss come on will tennyson and dr mike make it happen 💪🏽
It hasn't. Will is kinda like a much less "cringey" JJW, but still would be worth watching with Mike.
I would love this. I particularly want Mike to review the episode with Phil Heath were he says "Fuck the full ROM guys".
Will is cringe. Jokes are old. Boring content.
I almost always agree with Dr. Mike.
On tactile cues, I deviate. When my clients start to fatigue, they start to go into “automated mode” and fail to focus on the target muscle group[s].
A little reminder usually refocuses the client and returns them to quality reps. I only use this method when necessary. Knowing your clients is essential for knowing which cue would be more effective in different situations.
Totally agree I use this with many of my clients when technique/focus begins to suffer
Seems kinda weird in this specific case since he wasn't touching anywhere near the muscles being used
@@Koroar I get what you mean. I think the trainer in this video was trying to encourage JJW to continue to go in a certain direction rather than touch the specific muscle [group]. After a while, the arms don’t want to raise anymore. A little “help” can **maybe** assist?

Watch his technique videos on pulling/rows. The extra protraction at the end and controlled eccentrics really help the rear delts.
