well Mike is natty, but a natty needs dedication and intelligence to build that kind of body. His hybrid strength and power/mass ideas are pretty spot on for most sports. But there should be more variety in the exercises. 6 sets of incline bench maybe a little boring. It can be 3 sets of inclines and 3 sets of dips. Two of the best exercises that contributed to the heaviest bench ever, but they also support each other. Benching needs tightness toes to shoulders, but at least you have the bench. In dips, your body is in the air, so it compliments benching that point. Benching needs an arching position, anterior pelvic tilt is needed. Dips work on posterior tilt to balance the anterior tilt, you are going to avoid bad posture. On the bench, the shoulder blades have little space to move, but they can move freely in dips, which is important to help train the stabilizing muscles and avoid stiffness there.
@@HernandezEvan this is actually a good program for natural though the frequnecy is low for each lift but it doesnt matter for the casual working guy with ajob etc, rest is more important
I'm not here to fight if he's natural or not.. i don't argue over things i dont know.. but his body compared to his height looks natural enough to me.. and the workout he suggested is pretty good, and I do feel the difference.. i had the same problem with more reps.. i'd get tired at the end of it.. but this style gave a pretty satisfying result.. his strength however is pretty impressive
I was one of the fans who blindly believed Norton and O'Hearn were natural. I did some digging around and I am not so sure anymore. Why do you think Layne is more probable?
When i train im chasing an incredible pump and so i prefer to only take about a 60 - 90 second break in between sets , but i understand that does limit the amount of poundage
1:31 "Cuz I combinate two things together, powerlifting and bodybuilding." I'm Mike fuckin O'Hearn, English does what I want, not the other way around, I'll inventify whatever new words I desiricate.
im 160lb @ 6ft. I've been bodybuilding since august this year after being a long time runner. Im 23 years old. I still struggle with 65lb db's for flat bench. this guy is a fucking strength beast doing almost tripple that weight. fuckin insane yo
I don't think he really flew at the end although it looks like it. I think he just jumped & because of his leg strength, he's able to leap such large distances, it looks like flying.
He is absolutely right!!!!!! I can't stand personal trainers and other know-it-alls preaching light weights with strict form to build muscle. Now there are some who can respond to that, however the vast majority of people need to train harder with heavy weights till failure and beyond. That's why muscles grow.
Most personal trainers teach strict form, usually because most people don't have it. People are misinformed and many times too lazy to do their own research. If they did, they wouldn't need anyone else to train them.
I love when people see bodybuilding and say that guy can't fight. He'd get his ass kicked in fight. He's training for aesthetics and strength. If you want to be a fighter then train like a fighter. Not everyone is in it to fight someone.
it's not roids guys. mike has been lifting since his early teens. you lift seriously for 20 plus years and see if you dont pack on muscle. this guy is to be admired. most of you couldn't stick to a 30 day training routine yet you want to ridicule somebody who's been doing it all his adult life.
This might seem low in volume but it's racks way up there In intensity. U go as heavy as u can for all exercises and ur good to go home. As long as u made that negative super slow ur chest will be done.
Some people call it being full of ones' self, some call it arrogance, and others call it being a douche, but lets call it what it really is, charisma. Seriously, would anybody watch this if he was a robot about it?
He never mentioned what his weekly routine was... 6 days? how many times each body part? other than that seems like an easy way to train imo... insane rest times compared to what i have done for 50 years...thanks
I'm doing this program kinda. Except on chest day I add 1 tricep isolation. And back workout I add 2 bicep exerc. Then instead of doing one day for arms I applied the 7sets of 4 to standing shoulder press. Because the real program by the way is 7x4 - 4 wks. 7x34wks the. 7x2 4wks. I am just about to complete month 1 and my lifts are up by 20 lbs or more.
I'm not good at English. Someone,please tell me about his Incline barbell press. Push every set to the limit? Or chose wight to reach the limit with the last set？
@@jd0879 Any stranger would easily agree with you that "that 25 year old lifting over there" does appear to be a jacked dude in his 20's. Only internet nerds would quibble.
@2sexy4myshooz u start out 70% of 1 rep max. So what I did is each day that I would go hit chest back and legs I worked up to a 1 rep Max. I also made this same style workout for my shoulders. Mp. Is going way up to. The 7 sets is not including 3 warm up sets.
@ediot6969 i see what u mean.. hmm but my question is basically well if i wanna do it the way He does. What he says is: 6 sets of 5 OR like his program 7 sets of 4's were those 4s or 5s suppose to be weight u reach the Failure each set? or something u can do about6~8 reps but u do 4 reps instead? 1 So i'm saying for every 7 sets were u suppose to reach Failure? 2 and also the REST TIME. I dont think he covers this up completly within his vidoes.
I hope your not basing your statement on 1 video. There's more to his training regiment then this. But if you're wondering about why weightlifters and powerlifters aren't usually as cut etc, it has "A LOT" to do with the diet. You have to customize your Diet to what your goals are...diet is key.
i never knew he rested 3-5 mins between sets...maybe that is his secret to being so strong past fifty... Many of us just bust ass and rest maybe a minute or so between sets or super set...
the way I have understood the program is that you do 7 sets of 4 with the same weight on your power movement, and then you do a regular pyramide style on the 2 bodybuilding exercises. Am I correct or is it supposed to be the same concept on these exercises aswell?
Mike's training philosophy is spot on. Heavy weights stimulate growth not light weights. This holds true for all natural athletes.
"Natural"
He is not natty to statr you dumb head.

Mike O'Hearn has impeccable form. No butt lifting in his flat bench and a modest arch on his incline. Extraordinary weight this guy is lifting.
Mike O'Hearn is legit. Sick ass mentality on lifting
I don't warm up! but you should.
i don't need a spotter! but you should.
mikes breakin all the rules hahaha
Great to see a guy use good form even when going heavy
This program works! 5 weeks in and I'm doing 225 on incline 7 sets of 3. I started doing 185 7 sets of 4. Gainz
Which program is that Evan?
William Zenewitz mike o’Hearns power bodybuilding

Siddharth Bhandari yea I agree..his body is proportional, n he is natural
no matter what some people says this man is really strong. Natty or not his a hard worker anyway.. great genetics too
Just love this guys personality.. Met him personally at Vegas olympia 2015
Chris
Living example of longevity natty or not his own choice his own body time proved he’s doing it right
Mike O'Tren is my favourite natty
If he's natural I'm doing something wrong
well hes been lifting since 13 so I don't see y its hard to believe
It's much more possible that layne is natural
I was one of the fans who blindly believed Norton and O'Hearn were natural. I did some digging around and I am not so sure anymore. Why do you think Layne is more probable?
Honestly he's not nearly as big and I think he a better guy that wouldn't lie about it but you never know
he has trained for 20+ years
When i train im chasing an incredible pump and so i prefer to only take about a 60 - 90 second break in between sets , but i understand that does limit the amount of poundage

1 really hard training in 4 weeks is what works the best imo

have been doing this program for 2 months. immense gain.
Awesome! I have a very similar style..but with a full body routine. Definitely going to try the split and see if my strength goes up.
mike is no joke
Natural!!! I RIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTT THEN!!!!
Try before you comment, I've benched 75kgs where I plateaued on 60kgs for a while...so, I believe the trauma bodybuilder, going after heavies, 100%
This is awesome ,,Old School Bodybuilding". This is great for natural bodybuilder
Best training philosophy ever.

nice reps and ssets protocol
Mike O'Hearn is a BADASS!
I love that incline bench is the main exercise for chest day :)) love incline
Yes... :3 I've been training long enough with many many people to know how the body of someone on steroids would look like. Mike O'hearn is natural.

Finland.. neck size doesn't always equal 'chin' just because you have a small neck doesn't mean you always get knocked out so easily...
Please tell me you are not comparing Hanh to O'Hearn... Hanh is a strong bodybuilder, but Mike is a complete freak of nature
thank you for that input ZOOLANDER
America has so many heros.
i tried this method and it works!
Super man!Amazing video .👏👏👏
Why do people hate on mike? Ok, he might not be natural, but your physique will stool look amazing if you incorporate his advice into your life.
100% full natty brah!
he do powerlifting and regular bodybuilding! it's an hybrid program
I respect Ohearn big time. He's not natty no matter what he says... But he's strong as a bull, works his ass off, and looks 25 at 48 years old.
1) This video was filmed when he was 42
2) He looks more like 35-37

hehe he's so hyped up on either fat burners of pre-workout lol it's obvious. I know because it happens to me too!
Lol. This fool is a straight up G. Smart and funny video.
Doing three exercises for chest, what do you think of bench, shoulder press, and dips?
I really like this training style
Awesome...
lifting that weight and natural should be some sort of guiness record.
@2sexy4myshooz u start out 70% of 1 rep max. So what I did is each day that I would go hit chest back and legs I worked up to a 1 rep Max. I also made this same style workout for my shoulders. Mp. Is going way up to. The 7 sets is not including 3 warm up sets.
"oh Help Spot Oh im just kidding" i burst laughing funny dude
the end was epic
I was wondering the same thing.
dam this guy is hilarious, that bit at 2:16 sealed the deal for me. he's among my top favorite bodybuilders now.
Mike is legit!
Mike looks like a superhero :)
Thank you for this video. 3 simple exercises that maximize the size :)
@ediot6969 i see what u mean.. hmm but my question is basically
well if i wanna do it the way He does.
What he says is: 6 sets of 5 OR like his program 7 sets of 4's
were those 4s or 5s suppose to be weight u reach the Failure each set?
or something u can do about6~8 reps but u do 4 reps instead?
1 So i'm saying for every 7 sets were u suppose to reach Failure?
2 and also the REST TIME. I dont think he covers this up completly within his vidoes.
I hope your not basing your statement on 1 video. There's more to his training regiment then this. But if you're wondering about why weightlifters and powerlifters aren't usually as cut etc, it has "A LOT" to do with the diet. You have to customize your Diet to what your goals are...diet is key.

as much as I'm not the biggest fan of this guy. I do like the way he trains. low reps, heavy and take as much time for recovery.
Hahahaha I was laughing my ass off when he said that! :)
Mike O'Tren is my fav natty duck embryos bodypowerbuilder
that was wierd, 5:25 he starts out with 80s and lifts with 100s then magically has 80s again haha
Bro... im santa claus what do u want for christmas? srsly whatever u want...
He is strong AF.
Man! So true
He is natural, hes in his 40's and hes been lifting since he was 13 yrs old. Everyone saying "steriods" is either fat or dumb.
Jim stoppani is my hero
315 on the incline is pretty legit.
great vid thanks.
omg that stronghold legends soundtracl!!!
