The missing "I" (or a coma) before "Mike" at the beginning made me think that its Mike who wants me to know those things lol. Not lying and not being an asshole, really took me a moment
Love your attitude towards life mate. You are a legend. Just a normal bloke with no bullshit attitude and a bit of comedic effect in there. You deserve all your success especially in a world were strength coaches and personal trainers get their knowledge from a cereal box.
This is gold content, no one else who films a day of eating is being completely transparent about the side effects of steroid use. Seeing all the extra pills he takes to keep everything “healthy” was eye opening. Thanks for always keeping it real Mike!!
I know Mike thinks these kinds of videos are absolutely redundant. And while its not incredibly entertaining, it is super cool to get these little nuggets of insight into how someone as interesting as Mike goes about daily life. And i kinda want more of these if im being honest.
I see it differently. I do these cross examination of his content and think theory and practice and this one is practice. His other workouts be it his own or training others and i learned alot from you know you have to do it but it's hard BUT trying really counts and getting close to what's ideal one day at a time till you find YOU. Like how you wanna approach things your way even if it's sub optimal the ideas are at the core and you just don't stray too far from them as long as you are in your comfort zone while keeping discipline.
I love Dr Mike's attitude on this. "I dunno what you'll get out of this..." Entertainment, good sir, entertainment. We love you and want to see what you do, so we know what we wanna be when we grow up. And damn, Butlers move so fast we can't even see them.
thats what youtube is about to make income from "entertainment". remember there ae more people out there,it's not about you alone ;-) . some people like it,some do not.
This perfectly captures the sadness of bodybuilders, sitting alone at a table, shoveling truckloads of the same food out of a plastic bowl into their mouth, day in and day out.
And were supposed to sympathize with it? Sympathize with ego-driven endeavors that risk your own well-being? It's amazing that people take fitness advice from this guy
Seeing as Dr. Mike graduated from one of France's premier culinary academies you need to bring back Dr. Mike's Kitchen. It's been three years, cmon guys.
Such a stellar job with the whole video, thank you Dr Mike and specifically Scott the video guy. From the mellow music choice not too loud to cover the dialogue to the color grading, the moving shots, the background blur. There are so many fantastic things so well thought out to make this such an awesome and enjoyable to watch video. Also, really cool to see Dr Mike and Crystal doing some jiujitsu and obviously having fun with it, thank you very much for sharing this with us.
Loved everything about this video. Easily the most wholesome video I've seen on this channel. Special props to Scott the video guy! Great work here. Wish you Dr Mike many more Lambos
How can anyone not love Dr Mike?! Man's a legend. Done more for my training than anyone, and is also funny as fuck. Shout out ScottTheVideoGuy too for the bangin' b-roll.
I'm a total beginner at lifting in my 40s. Nothing was really working for me until I found Dr. Mike's videos on RP and I've started to make progress (4-5lbs in 2 months) without injuring myself! Also, much respect about your transparency on supplementation, and how you separate that from diet, technique, and consistency.
Seeing you take cbd every morning was so refreshing! I have a headshop and growshop in Portugal, and we sell CBD oil etc, it made me really happy to have someone with your "caliber" using cbd and talking about its health benefits and its purposes, as a lot of people don't know about it! Thank you so much!
I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Mike. My physique has EXPLODED since I started to use all of your training philosophies and techniques. You are literally the best mind bodybuilding has ever seen. So smart, so funny, and your physique is sick as well. You are the definition of a Renaissance man so the channel name is very fitting. Thanks again
Just to parrot what several others have said, this was such a cool video. It made me happy to see you in your house essentially living your life outside of RUclips (while still in RUclips...). I'm sure these might be irritating to make because it means you can't be 100% yourself and relax, but man is it wholesome and enjoyable to watch. And your house looks dope!
I am so GRATEFUL to have found Dr. Mike. He has taught me so much! I’m an intermediate female. Probably more of a beginner because of all the sh!t I was doing wrong 😩😩😩 THANK YOU Dr. Mike and everyone who is a part of the RP machine 💪🏾
I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of your content on how to eat and not fear the carb reaper! Low carb works best for me and I’m currently working on losing fat and improving insulin sensitivity. I lost discipline in my eating and now I’m getting back on track again. Thank you!
So I know Doc doesnt understand why these videos are so desired. I dont watch a lot of them, but I got SO MUCH from this video. 1) my love for cereal is not taboo, it just can/should be used within my macros rather than using it as a cheat meal or treat. 2) dont be so emotionally strict with scheduling. Doc didn't seem to have an emotional distress from eating breakfast late and thus everything else on the schedule moving back. This is the toughest thing for me and Im working on it. 3) the during workout beverage. I usually did water, but like the idea that DM put together and will try to find a concoction that works for my body and that I like. All of that to say, thanks for the video. I know it took a lot of effort.
Legend... satire, facts, fun, perspective. Love to see the ability to create routine that is doable, Simple is not EASY, Thanks DR. MIKE. I appreciate your transparency as well.
Honestly Mike your style of training has helped me improved so much more quickly than normal, biggest improvement was focusing on the stretch portion 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The best part of this whole video is @ 7:37 the quick shot of Mike’s swoll dog waiting for his scraps patiently lol :) dogs really do look like their owners!
I’ll be your friend Dr Mike. You seem like a good guy to know. You’re not full of BS like a lot of RUclipsrs and you make zero effort to make working out look glamorous. I love people who are straight up. Thank you sir!!
Love RP diet app. Down 50lbs in 6 months. Only used the app 1 month to get an idea of how to structure my meals. Now I just eat basically same thing and quantity every day. Go dr Mike. You the man. Love your content.
While he joked about having to do his own meal prep work in the kitchen, the humility that Dr. Mike expresses in this video is something I greatly appreciate. No flash, no hype, just a man who wants to share information with the world.
Mike as a fellow sufferer from anxiety you give me inspiration to try and get out there and kick some ass, just like you! I really appreciate your content and sense of humour especially, as well as our parasocial relationship.
I love this guy so much, his witty sense of humor, the science he uses to build himself and his knowledge that he shares with all of us. Thanks Dr. Mike, you rock.
Dr. Mike sings along to Sublime when he works out, only he sings "I drink 2 shakes in the morning, I drink 2 shakes at night. I drink 2 shakes in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright. I drink 2 shakes, in time of peace, and 2 in time of war. I drink 2 shakes before I drink 2 shakes, and then I drink 2 more."
It got dark quick in the day, then saw it was December 12th on his app. I think these type of videos are good just to see what people eat to get all that protein in. Also entertaining as always.
Just starting to watch this with a beer in hand on holiday (vacation for Americans) in the Canary Islands, having just listened to the vacation podcast. Good intentions start on Monday when I’m home 👊🏼
Love your workstation! What is the foot rest that you’re using? It looks really comfortable. Would you be kind enough to share your desk equipment and set up?
I really appreciate Dr. Mike talking about taking gear so openly and honestly. It takes a lot of the negative stigma away from it. I don’t ever plan on taking PEDs, but I think it’s important to have honest discourse about them instead of demonizing them.
Just wow, that is your take away on what he said. I think he is pretty clear on that they work but also on the fact that they have side effects and are not really "good" for you in genereal. Also I think we live in a world where many people that really shouldn't be on gear are taking it. So I don't think being more appriciative of it is what is needed here. If you wanna enter competitions it is kinda required, but I really don't see the point of taking them if you are just an average dude who wants to get jacked, but has not even maxed out on his workouts yet.
The diet info is great, but goddamn this video showed me how much I miss Michigan. Grew up there and moved away after college. The huge yard, the giant house, the finished basement. Absolutely beautiful. Good stuff Dr. Mike
Damn Dr Mike...you have a good work life balance...time for 2 workouts,work,couple activities,eating 6 TIMES...i have been jealous of people but this is something i do yearn for at least a good 2/3 of it.
It's simply schizophrenic to me, seeing such an educated, well-spoken, smart an funny man (a professor of health basically) being on tons of potentially lethal gear, having to counter balance the side effects with more medication, while saying he wishes things were different. You do have a choice, brother.
Dr. Mike and some IRL enhanced friends are the #1 reason I’ll be a lifetime natty. I have so much respect for guys that transparent about the roid life.
Honestly really enjoy your videos & considering trying the RP app as a newbie, been working out around 3 months now 3-4 days a week. looks like it really brings it together and keeps you on target for your goals.
It's all about looking good on stage and on Instagram. Steroids, TRT, Synthol etc. You have to do whatever it takes. Side effects like shrunken testicles, infertility, enlarged organs and possibly dying younger are a small price to pay. 🤷♂️
What a lot of people don't understand is that at the end of the day bodybuilding is both a sport and an art. And those who become serious about it - give everything to it. Competitive bodybuilders have a closer mindset to a ballerina hell bent on becoming a primary at a company than probably any other art / sport. Both torture their bodies for their art to an extreme level - both know that this could significantly shorten their life spans, negatively impact health and well-being now and in the future and the impact of their art can have really detrimental effect in mid and old age. Both are insanely focused on body form, conforming to body standards and both require hours of training and dedication, laser focus and an almost obsessive love for their kraft. That being said - for competitive body builders it is difficult to get far in the sport anymore without steroids - even after you go off of them you are more or less permanently primed above what you would have been if you never took them before. So not taking them, means you are probably not going to be able to compete seriously. They say don't take them, because they are very easy to obtain, and there are a lot of people who think that they can just wade in and take them with no negative effects. Of course there are going to be people who still say - I will take them any way. But at least being honest about the side effects is going to discourage some of the people on the fence.
Wow. so much info here. Chicken and rice. Use a scissors like an idiot to cut it. Heres my chair where I tell you what to do! I'm sure this is all you need to get that "natural" body.
@RenaissancePeriodization Question for Dr.Mike: from screenshot at 0:07 it seems you sleep 10h, is that everyday? is it a prep thing? Thanks! Good bits of info from this kind of videos, appreciate it 👍
Question 2: in another video you recommend slow-digesting proteins in the last meal before sleeping, but those yogurts have whein protein. Did you change your mind? Is it some timing adjustment? Please don't kill me, sincere question ❤
I’m honestly a little surprised by the cereal post-workout. There are definitely better options and there’s so much bullshit in cereal… That said, the transparency and realness is really appreciated. Especially discussing what you also take to counteract the gear you’re on. HUGE respect for that!! Your transparency in general is extremely respectable!
You do get that even in bodybuilding prep not everyone is Jay Cutler and some people will eat to... enjoy things? Enjoy life? He said he likes it, that's why it's there. If you wanted to minmax it all then you should also jump on the chicken thighs, breasts are lower in fat!
FINALLY, i can see the inside of your house. Normally I get an “okay” look peeking through the windows at odd hours of the night. But this is great!!

It's all about looking good on stage and on Instagram. Steroids, TRT, Synthol etc. You have to do whatever it takes. Side effects like shrunken testicles, infertility, enlarged organs and possibly dying younger are a small price to pay. 🤷♂️

I think it's selfishness, they want as few people as possible to look like they do. So they can appear more special.
What a lot of people don't understand is that at the end of the day bodybuilding is both a sport and an art. And those who become serious about it - give everything to it.
Competitive bodybuilders have a closer mindset to a ballerina hell bent on becoming a primary at a company than probably any other art / sport.
Both torture their bodies for their art to an extreme level - both know that this could significantly shorten their life spans, negatively impact health and well-being now and in the future and the impact of their art can have really detrimental effect in mid and old age. Both are insanely focused on body form, conforming to body standards and both require hours of training and dedication, laser focus and an almost obsessive love for their kraft.
That being said - for competitive body builders it is difficult to get far in the sport anymore without steroids - even after you go off of them you are more or less permanently primed above what you would have been if you never took them before. So not taking them, means you are probably not going to be able to compete seriously.
They say don't take them, because they are very easy to obtain, and there are a lot of people who think that they can just wade in and take them with no negative effects. Of course there are going to be people who still say - I will take them any way. But at least being honest about the side effects is going to discourage some of the people on the fence.

Mike crushing the same protein bars as me, built bar puffs are so good.
Most protein bars should be called carb bars.
built bar claims only 4 net carbs for the bars I eat, which seems alright to me.
@@TokyoSwan. Never had them. Used to have a lot of protein bars. Now it's just a lot of meat lol
@@TokyoSwan. Not the puff ones (regarding 4 net carbs). They are delicious though.
Thank you. That was informative.
Love the videos as usual. Need an in depth video of that recline, curved monitor work setup.
Wow. so much info here. Chicken and rice. Use a scissors like an idiot to cut it. Heres my chair where I tell you what to do! I'm sure this is all you need to get that "natural" body.

@RenaissancePeriodization Question for Dr.Mike: from screenshot at 0:07 it seems you sleep 10h, is that everyday? is it a prep thing? Thanks! Good bits of info from this kind of videos, appreciate it 👍
Question 2: in another video you recommend slow-digesting proteins in the last meal before sleeping, but those yogurts have whein protein. Did you change your mind? Is it some timing adjustment? Please don't kill me, sincere question ❤
that is one of the cooler home gyms ive seen
also i love how the screen gets miserably dark when he eats
Awesome! I liked the workstation!
I’m honestly a little surprised by the cereal post-workout. There are definitely better options and there’s so much bullshit in cereal…
That said, the transparency and realness is really appreciated. Especially discussing what you also take to counteract the gear you’re on. HUGE respect for that!!
Your transparency in general is extremely respectable!
Bullshit? You mean the added vitamins and minerals? It's not whole food, but there are far worse options he could have chosen.
@@caitzs you mean the very low quality synthetic vitamins that companies add to cereal to make it so they don’t have to say just “flour and sugar”?
You do get that even in bodybuilding prep not everyone is Jay Cutler and some people will eat to... enjoy things? Enjoy life? He said he likes it, that's why it's there. If you wanted to minmax it all then you should also jump on the chicken thighs, breasts are lower in fat!
