10 pullups/chin-ups (strict form, not those kipping ones) = significant challenge for average males. 20 pushups = pretty doable for most adult males; compared to pullups, you are moving significantly less weight with bigger muscles. 10 dips (full depth w good form) = solid challenge for most guys. These standards are very uneven. I know plenty of men who can't do a single pull up. I hardly know any guy who can't do two pushups .
Child strength is different due to differing strength-to-weight ratios for various movements and body development through puberty. Even so, 10 strict pullups is still rare in elementary school . But anyway, Mike Thurston was specifically talking about adult men, and there is plentiful evidence based on large samples showing that doing ten good pullups is MUCH harder for most people than doing 20 good pushups. As an example, check out the Secret Service fitness test standards. For a 20-29yo male, doing 37 pushups in one minute would be graded as "very poor" and put you in the worst category in the test. On the flip side, doing just 11 pullups WITH NO TIME LIMIT AND BEING ALLOWED TO LET GO AS OFTEN AS NEEDED will put you in the highest category of "Excellent".
@@steven-furypull ups are easy ig you 30kg . Not so much if your 90kg+ . I can lat pull 95kg. ,, doing a single pull up as a 128kg is going to be nierly imposibe naturally . (Overdid a bulk 21%bdy fat. Going down to 115kg)
It seems to me that pushups vary a lot in difficulty by the strictness of technique, but can be counted as pushups even with "meh" technique so the numbers can be deceiving when that is not taken into account. You can double or triple the number you can do just by "cheats" like resting your body on the ground between each one, not keeping your pelvis high, "bouncing" up using your whole posterior chain as a spring, dropping down with a lack of control, etc etc.
@@steven-fury im glad you speak as a representative for all 4 billion men on the planet based on your own anecdotal evidence. im sure being humble is also listed as one of your strengths.
He has always denied any PED`s. I`d have respect if he just stopped lying to his audience. In Dubai the arabs love muscular guys and the Police turn a blind eye to usage. I know i lived there for years.
@asktherightquestiontoday No you cannot. Have a look at all the bodybuilders in the natural category and you will see. These are some of the top level guys genetically. I don’t think he’s on loads just on enough to cruise after his usage over years.
Mike Thurston actually had a hair transplant (and I think some micro-pigmentation): he covered that in the past in a video vlog, and his insecurity about it! It was probably one of the most useful things he ever did, as it got a lot of attention at the time outside of fitness YT - because here was this nearly perfect looking dude who was dealing with this major insecurity alot of us deal with. He was essentially bringing awareness to it when alot of influencers were hiding it; so even in Mikes case, there is truth to the old adage that 'No One Is Perfect'! 👍
Before Mike turned into an 'influencer' he was actually a personal trainer, in my hometown. So his technique has always been very good, and he even competed when he was younger. That being said theres no doubt he's on ped's, no shame in that, but he does lie to his audience. Also he's gone down the route of selling lifestyle courses, to rich assholes who pay upwards of 20,000 dollars to go and stay and be on his course for a few days, again no judgement but the 'influencer' lifestyle is obviously a very affluent one if you can con people into buying your courses.
If he has taken PEDs he's done very well to remain consistent with years of travelling. I've followed him since the early days and it's hard to tell there really isn't any huge fluctuations in size. Genetically gifted or flying around with his prescribed trt who knows
@@markc2622 could say that about any influencer though. They all maintain year round. It's the kids I feel sorry for, all of their major influences come from roided up divvies selling a dream. Not surprised men's mental health and body dysmorphia are higher than ever (not to mention needle exchange traffic...)
Just do something else for tri's, like overhead cable extensions for example, no point in going through pain, you'll just make it worse. Edit:. just saw the part were mikes talking about this, as an Australian this word is very common, so I thought you were just asking for realz.
Small correction. Dubai is not dry, it's actually pretty humid, which quite frankly makes it even hotter in the summer. 45 degrees with 50% humidity is no joke! I typically leave for several months in the summer....
@@mixalis6168 Well you can just look on a weather app, or just Google average humidity. Dubai is NOT dry, it's right next to a hot ocean. Right now today, 43 degrees, 57% humidity.

What? I moved to Dubai because it was beneficial for me and my family. I was earning 230k a year in Miami but being taxed my ass off and I'm earning 215k in Dubai and pay no tax. My daughter goes to a great private school and is safe and cost if living is great here. I get more value for my money here. Dubai is what you make it, it's a blank canvas. There are a lot of misconceptions about Dubai and the UAE.
Some good fitness stuff, but recommending listening to Mike 'Thick as Mince' Thurston on any other topic is like recommending you step in shit every time you see some on the sidewalk. The world has surely had enough of 'influencers' chewing on Andrew Tate's pole - if he actually has one.
Can you do a video for trainers on how to train their clients with different stages of their lifting (beginner, intermediate and advanced) it'll be a big help
Been waiting for this! I've recommended reviewing Mike Thurston workout vlogs months ago on RP Instagram. Glad you guys really reviewing his exercises! Thanks Dr Mike
Not doing the "Pulsing from the bottom" is a very good advice in general. A few years ago, I dislocated my shoulder, tore off my long biceps tendon and damaged the humeral head, just because of explosive strength when doing a downward lat pull with a little too much weight for my own good. The snapping sound is something you never forget.
It seems like you’re making the opposite point Dr Mike was. He said that “pulsitile” force from the bottom increased the risk of injury. His advice was gradual acceleration.
@@nickgodfrey1148 It was a chest expander with supposedly ~75kg strength, so roughly about my body weight when fully expanded, nothing too fancy, unless you are as stupid as me. :) I now have 6 carbon anchors in my shoulder for life and the surgeon who put them in as well as my physical therapist afterwards were both surprised how I even managed to do this. I have mild kyphosis and hypermobility in the shoulders, so that probably contributed to it somehow. The best part is that they didn't even know the tendon was torn off before they cut me open because in the MRI they could only see the ligament being ripped off partially from the upper socket part. Anyway, it took about 2 months until I could remove the big shoulder orthosis which had to be on 24/7. Then it took another few months to restore some muscles and regain some movement and then another 2 years until I was somewhat pain free when doing normal every day movements. Naturally, I took it very easy with any weight exercises over the years, so after almost 10 years and I'm still not fully pain-free and have "trust" issues, but I'll keep on trying to regain full movability. :) tl;dr Be careful
Mike is from Leeds in the UK. Which is north England, Southampton is the south coast of England and sound nothing alike, lol! Mike has publicly had a hair transplant also (he did RUclips video on it!) He seems a good guy, and has a dry humour!
In the UK we make up words and usually end them in "ing" to give a feel for what we mean. So spangling sounds sortve like 'spanner', so throwing a spanner in the works or 'spangling' is the sortve thing hes going for here (probably). This is a trend started by or atleast prominently promoted by Roald Dhal a mega famous childrens books writer from days gone by
I was thinking spangled also means messed up (as in drunk, e.g. i was absolutely spangled last night) so maybe it's more like you'll mess up your shoulder.
I love Mike. He's a nice bloke and a pretty funny guy. Way better than 90% of the fitness influencer types. He has a mild Northern England accent. Most Americans when they think of British accents are probably thinking of Southern England posh accents (RP).
@@LordBranniganThe you can't project your own results on me, no matter how hard you want to. So stop projecting your own bad results, buddy. I'm sure you also believe Mike Ohearn is natty too. Not my problem you lack any critical thinking.
What i have found doing weights is don't try to be someone else. By all means take tips. And if you work a 9 - 5. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Adjust your work out to your time and life style.
Thurston is a pretty real dude -- he documented how he was losing his hair and went through a hair transplant. That was a few years ago though; I dunno if he's still as real today
I have been waiting for this... my two favourite fitness channels (plus the only two fitness gurus I have ever actually sought out their respective apps) finally collide.Let the knowledge begin!!
Exactly. He has little character and not a very good business brain or academics given him virtually failing his degree. RUclips has been main source of money until his channel views die. Other than that were scamming clients with overpriced courses and looking for other scamming opportunities from social influencers
I love how the thumbnail changed from a bunch of hearts and Dr. Mike swooning over Mike Thurston to now just a normal thumbnail. Or Scott the Video Guy could be A/B testing different thumbnails and a different one popped up for me the second time it showed on my homepage lol.
The last thing I need is advice on being a man from guys that feel the need to take harmful substances to look "better". Balls as big as grapes but thinking anyone cares what they have to say.
The one thing that I find strange about Mike and a lot of the other so-called "influencers" in Dubai is that they are living in a country where mohmedism reigns accept for mindless tourists and mega-rich folks. All the rest of the people who do the actual work must follow sharia or if they are from any other country have no rights and are forced to follow sharia as they cannot afford to go to the bars or the pork pots (or the other places that Dr. Mike alluded to where mainly females from Eastern Europe "work". A place that might looks nice, but is even more of a place of hypocrisy then the USA or Europe. A place to be avoid in the winter as well as the summer.
another guy whos read about dubai in the newspaper and never been there.. probably from the US considering how badly educated you guys are internationally..
@@stephanottawa7890 I have been to dubai on multiple occasions. It's nothing like you are describing. So I am asking what the.... are you talking about?
I'm from the UK, nobody says "spangling", not in that context at least. Getting "spangled" is when you get drunk or high. "Mate, I was absolutely spangled". Yes, we know, it's supposed to be a silly sounding word, that's the point. Spangled, in my use cases, is when I've had something "more than alcohol" and I've lost my mind a little bit...
Niggle. From the viking influence. Norwegian nigla. Means "a slight annoyance". Could see why it could be confused, but in the UK I've never heard anyone double take it because it's almost always used in context.

10 pullups/chin-ups (strict form, not those kipping ones) = significant challenge for average males. 20 pushups = pretty doable for most adult males; compared to pullups, you are moving significantly less weight with bigger muscles. 10 dips (full depth w good form) = solid challenge for most guys.

@@LordBranniganThe my results are just fine, thanks for asking. Facts don't care about your feelings buddy.
@@curiosity8494 do you know what ‘facts’ mean? Conjecture & facts are not synonymous flower. But keep crying because you’ve never had decent results
@@LordBranniganThe you can't project your own results on me, no matter how hard you want to. So stop projecting your own bad results, buddy. I'm sure you also believe Mike Ohearn is natty too. Not my problem you lack any critical thinking.
@@curiosity8494 ohhh wow, original retort lol quick question, if you’re here angrily typing then who is stocking the shelves at Walmart?
What i have found doing weights is don't try to be someone else. By all means take tips.
And if you work a 9 - 5. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Adjust your work out to your time and life style.
Hey Mike, Can you make a video where you critiquing Tom platz, and his knowledge around squat over leg press?
I live in the middle east and what he said about hydration and electrolytes in the dry summer is so so real
The comment from him at the start of the video renders me, a disabled man, not a man.
Yeah, sad but true
i used to watch his content for training advice, but stopped watching because of nonsense like that. lives a truly blinkered existence
Top video Dr Mike! Just brilliant in’it
Thanks for the great breakdowns as always
Gotta love the RP app promo timing 😂
I laughed out loud when it transitioned into the ad 😂
Mike's a solid 80% of why this channel has grown so much.
"Why do people from the United Kingdom skip entire letters?"
Standard aloominum enjoyer 😂
Dude, that LMNT ad was so smooth I didn't even know it was an ad. lol
"There's a T at the end of 'stability'." ...Yeah, and theres two T's in the middle of 'letters', Dr Mike. Us Brits can play this game too! 🤪
9:37 "oh yeah" freaking love those little moments from Steve and Jared.
Scott DaVídeoGuy is the Leonard DaVinci of our generation
The amount of product placement in this one video is insane.
Thurston is a pretty real dude -- he documented how he was losing his hair and went through a hair transplant. That was a few years ago though; I dunno if he's still as real today
Dude is juiced af but claims he’s natty. Nothing real about him.
From someone from the UK.
Cloudy with a chance of sprinkled described our weather perfectly 😂
👍
Dr Mike's head looking extra shiny today
Shined it up in the shine-o ball-o
The ad transition was brilliant hahah
Day 2 of asking Dr mike to critique ryan hummiston's advice
Oof I like Ryan he's entertaining but he will get torn up by Dr.Mike.
Loving the content from Mike , new to the channel will soon buy the RP app , great humour for an American
This man looks like if Dana White, Joe Rogan and Jason Statham all had a baby
Thumbs up for the RP Hypertrophy ad placement. Excellent.
Jesus Mike, Scott's last name is Vidyóguy.
Even i know that.
I have been waiting for this... my two favourite fitness channels (plus the only two fitness gurus I have ever actually sought out their respective apps) finally collide.Let the knowledge begin!!
I stopped following this Narcissist a few years ago. He’s motivated by money and could not give a shit about you.
Exactly. He has little character and not a very good business brain or academics given him virtually failing his degree. RUclips has been main source of money until his channel views die. Other than that were scamming clients with overpriced courses and looking for other scamming opportunities from social influencers
Male barbie doll and now surrounds himself with Dubai scammers.
Yep. The lad was ok when he was humble and living in London
@@csllover that is when he was completely broke and living month to month. Now he has mediocre wealth
Why would he give a shit about random people on the internet? They're all motivated by money some make it, some don't
I love how the thumbnail changed from a bunch of hearts and Dr. Mike swooning over Mike Thurston to now just a normal thumbnail.
Or Scott the Video Guy could be A/B testing different thumbnails and a different one popped up for me the second time it showed on my homepage lol.
“I have a niggle in my elbow that makes me wiggle like it bloody tickles innit” -every European every time they hit their funny bone
I dont work out - I just love your commentary - you make me smile so... mental health workout ❤
The last thing I need is advice on being a man from guys that feel the need to take harmful substances to look "better".
Balls as big as grapes but thinking anyone cares what they have to say.
If he watch Mike at 1.5x speed he almost blinks like a normal person. Almost...
Yes, pressup = pushup
I absolutely love the transitions for the ad
The one thing that I find strange about Mike and a lot of the other so-called "influencers" in Dubai is that they are living in a country where mohmedism reigns accept for mindless tourists and mega-rich folks. All the rest of the people who do the actual work must follow sharia or if they are from any other country have no rights and are forced to follow sharia as they cannot afford to go to the bars or the pork pots (or the other places that Dr. Mike alluded to where mainly females from Eastern Europe "work". A place that might looks nice, but is even more of a place of hypocrisy then the USA or Europe. A place to be avoid in the winter as well as the summer.
Wtf are you talking about?
@@matthewsharkey5685 Not sure what you mean? Would you be a bit more precise; and in good English, please.
It's a shithole...Modern slavery.
another guy whos read about dubai in the newspaper and never been there.. probably from the US considering how badly educated you guys are internationally..
@@stephanottawa7890 I have been to dubai on multiple occasions. It's nothing like you are describing. So I am asking what the.... are you talking about?
Mike was the guy i followed during the start of my gym-journey. Hes great
Oh u mean ninja? 4:00
no clue, nagging ? anyone ?
@@tdf4142a dude up there posted it, niggle I think he meant 😂
@@tdf4142 Niggle. Meaning slight pain or discomfort.
Example: "I got a niggle in my right elbow after reaching for my loicence"
The fact that Chris Williamson actually commented on this video is hysterical to me 🤣
I'm from the UK, nobody says "spangling", not in that context at least.
Getting "spangled" is when you get drunk or high.
"Mate, I was absolutely spangled".
Yes, we know, it's supposed to be a silly sounding word, that's the point. Spangled, in my use cases, is when I've had something "more than alcohol" and I've lost my mind a little bit...
Niggle. From the viking influence. Norwegian nigla. Means "a slight annoyance".
Could see why it could be confused, but in the UK I've never heard anyone double take it because it's almost always used in context.
Love your vids Mike, keep them coming. I've lost 30kgs this last year and been using the RP app and love it 🔥
3:52 ah yes, "I have a niggling pain in my knee," also listening to this video made me snigger a few times.
RUclips don't kill me.
It’s the niggle 😂😂 what Dr is referring to. @03:40
World class ad transition!
I had Mike as a coach a few years ago, he's excellent.
The vids of him training with Dorian are worth watching 👍
I am so happy that i found this channel. Also show jared more?
That subway analogy for the bottom of a rep is so, so good. Thank you!
I wanna see Dr. Mike go over some of The Bioneer's videos
He's such a fantastic creator and is a joy to watch
