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.
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.
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.
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!! 😂❤
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.
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.
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 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…
@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.
I'm not a big fan of when people say someone hasn't used full ROM on an exercise based on an external factor - for example if someone doesn't touch their chest on a bench press. Someone's range on a bench is determined by a number of factors including their own unique morphology and the current perceived tightness of joint capsule and surrounding muscle tissue. What it isn't determined by is the position of their sternum. If someone can't actively get their hands to or below sternum height with no weight in their hands, then full range for them isn't when the bar touches their chest. Too often people are determining end range based on the constraints of a machine or a part of the body which has nothing to do with the joint or bones that are actually moving during the exercise
honestly the mentioning of touching during sets was much appreciated! i find it weird that personal trainers feel happy to touch clients without asking sometimes
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 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.
i did a crossfit class one time and it ended with a moderately high rope climb and i seriously could not do it. i cant get my feet and legs to do the wrap around thing and i end up pulling too much with my arms and tiring myself out.
Hey Dr. Mike! Any thoughts on neck training? Such as using a neck harness and loading neck extension and flexion in moderate to high rep ranges. Can developing a horse neck have any serious drawbacks 🤔
Here is a tip I have for rope climbing as someone who has climbed 30ft ropes with 30lbs of kit. It's all in the legs, your hands are there just to hold on not for pulling you up.
Why is Hany Rambod considered some sort of guru in the bodybuilding world when he’s not especially knowledgable about training? I’m assuming he basically just attaches himself to top guys in various divisions and gives them supplement deals in exchange for them promoting him as their “coach”. Either that or he sources them high-quality gear.

I laughed so hard
Haha Gregs videos started popping up for me and that is exactly how i would describe his presentation style also.
The best
Attack??
That was just a joke bruh
Pretty funny too 😂
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.

I feel like Dr. Mike and Will Tennyson collab needs to happen.. if it hasnt already that is
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.

Removed the awkwardness when you need to tug at pants for seat/crotch adjustments... But hopefully they aren't doing that at the gym!
I think the touching is supposed to be helping him thru the harder point of the strength curve of the raises. You can get more reps out.
This is great to know!
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.
Got a FRIENDS vibe with Joey's taylor 😂

for me turning thumb up a bit more feels better personally
The Ronnie Coleman impressions have me dying 😂
The Greg Doucette impression 💀
That Ronnie impression is gold😂
love that this comedy channel has some fitness content too
I like how the "well be right back" joke is always followed by the ad read lol
bro this is the best and funniest bodybuilding channel
Spit out my damn drink when you shrieked like Greg in the intro😂😂 😂😂
That Ronnie Coleman's impression is pretty good! Yeah buddy!
I could listen to Dr.Mike’s Ronnie impression 24/7 😂😂😂
The Greg and Ronnie impressions were hilarious xD
This is just perfect. Education and comedy are clearly separated which makes a very clear and entertaining video
Interesting take on direct no rear delt training. Never heard mike talk about it before.
Watch his technique videos on pulling/rows. The extra protraction at the end and controlled eccentrics really help the rear delts.
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…
Hany Rambod is probably the only trainer who Dr. Mike hasn't dissed and actually has gone on to acknowledge
“I’m touching him….also with my hands.” 😂
Love the series of critiquing techniques/ trainings, I learn a lot! Thanks Doc
Mike ure the best fitness channel I found so far and I was watching alot of them, love!! So glad I found your channel!

Dr. Mike was on fire for this one! The comedy/roasting combined with good, helpful tips is always welcome. Bravo!
I love slowing down. My favorite
I’m going more for that 3-dimensional look in my workouts. I’m tired of living in a 2-dimensional world.
I’m a flat piece paper currently, by the way
LMAO the massive fallout to the people who say they do 100 sit ups when it's really those awful pulse crunches that don't do anything to you
