I wanna see Dr. Mike and Sam Sulek do a workout video together sooo badly... I think they would totally kill it together, Sam's strength with Dr. Mike's guidance and training 💪
@imranzero Sam doesn't hate anyone he just likes what works for him. Mike's a bit of an enigma by science based standards he's a smart dude but he can bro out hard too
He would be too busy and cerebral for Bro chat. As much as I love listening to both of them separately, it would be oil and water so actually add some of the silly stuff that makes bro chat fun. Dr. Mike loves dirty jokes and have a fun side, but he’s way more serious on certain things
Never thought this would happen. Have followed both you Fouad and Mike for years. Love both. Learned so much. Laughed so much. Thank you! Can’t wait to listen
fitness has become so bastardized it’s nice to see Mike talk to the fact that you just have to work hard and there’s no way around it when it comes to getting better in the gym
In theory it would be great but i think Mike Van Wyck can't articulate training as good as Mike. Hence Van Wyck also prefers to show you. Both are great but just because they both great doesn't mean the both will be greater in a conversation
@@dejenga yep. mike gives off the energy in the gym where you will do whatever he wants ... he is incredible but he can't transfer that into a debate for long.
Absolute respect for how humble and willing to learn a legend like Fouad shows himself. Dude with a ton of accolades yet so comfortable to say "i don't know x", "i never though z"... that's just awesome.
I've seen every episode of rbp, bc, bb&b, and meatballs n hummus, and this is by far the best episode to date. Could've easily been 3 hours long. Can't wait for Dr. Mike to be back on hell he'd fit right in on an episode of brochat too
I’ve been training 35 years and listened to this 3x now. You and Dr Mike (Izzy) and the last Bro Chat with him as well confirmed a lot of what I’d say is fact after that time plus I learned a lot. I am truly grateful to both of you and all I’ve learned from you , Fouad. Fouad, Izzy, and Mike Van Wyck have taught me a lot the past few years. Iain too. Paul is such a funny guy. Appreciate everything. Entertainment and Knowledge. Much Love.
Really enjoyed this conversation. the jotting of note was super respectful to make sure points and questions didn’t get lost. Definitely need a part two.
Any chance of doing this again? I love that you let the conversation flow while still poking for the important information that is relevant to all of us across the levels
Yes! Fouad, you never disappoint. Mike on Bro Chat next! Would be great to see the "bro" side of Mike. His sense of humor is witty, would be a good showcase.
So happy to see Mike on here. I always thought his personality would gel well with the crew. Great interview, Fouad asked all the questions I was thinking. Super informative.
100% one of my favorite podcasts you've done on the channel so far or in general this summer that I've listened to period. The random insane jokes combined with the knowledge was awesome
Great chat. Really! Fouad really picked Mike's brain. Impossible to do if you haven't been in the trenches. Not just accepting Mike's ideas, but questioning his thinking so he would have to give more nuanced answers. GJ, guys! Much obliged! 😊 P.S. Mike's a funny dude.
Foaud you legend! I love Dr Mike, super intelligent, great information for general practices and probably one of the funniest people in this space of youtube. I watch RP and Hosstile more than any other bodybuilding channels
Mike is amazing, he explains that shit so well. He's fucking perfect if you can have him on one of the lifestyle pods to fuck around to call out bullshit. that's probably a wish that will never be granted tho
Scott Stevenson - HE is probably the one person we can all learn from. Jordan Peters had him as a coach. He has interesting opinions on RIR. The study that backs it is flawed in the context of a long term meathead. That being said there is a lot of decent validity to be had in this video.
This was awesome, Mike dropping knowledge bombs and Fouad consistently asking great questions throughout the entire podcast getting the nuanced discussion going. Also Mikes jokes were in top form.
Saw Mike was going to be on and I'm very familiar with Fouad as a competitor but not as a person, so I was expecting more of a contentious conversation. Turned out to be an excellent and informative discussion. I felt like I got a great insight into a top competitor and was really glad to hear the openness to information and the nuance of being in those upper echelons instead of just the intermediate levels.

Honestly this sold me to try the app. I knew nothing about it it’s good that it can log and compute to give guidelines what’s the next best way to keep progression with reps or weight or sets.
About cheat reps, I think that precisely in heavy barbell rows or kroc rows they have a place, at least while you have a "controlled body english" (no dropping to the bar, just using legs to make the bar move and keeping your body really bent over and controlling the eccentric to feel a deep stretch in your upper back, pausing at the bottom if necessary) and have a back day or session for really strict and controlled rows. Cheat rows, as i described them, amd in combination with strict rows, you get the benefit of having really heavy negatives that build a lot of mass and also make your upper back strong af. When I started incorporating them, my rowing strength and my upper back size sky rocketed
Wow I’m impressed by the quality of this podcast, both questions and answers reach a worthwhile discussion with priceless information. Thx for the sharing ! 👊
Finally 👏👏👏👏. Well done, Fouad. Wonderful questions. Also, I was not going to ever bother with the RP apps, but this intro actually made me realize I either need this app or need to get a coach to reach my goals. Absolutely beautiful. Love you guys fr fr 👏
This was an AWESOME podcast! This is the sort of information I wish was available in my training days. This information along with education on "gear" is what young bodybuilders need today so they train properly and don't die prematurely.
23:27 overload really can be as simple as just doing reps more controlled / with better technique, just boils down to getting better some way every session
Listening to the banter on this podcast makes me dream about what it would have been like to have Mike, Iain, and Luke on together - the three best wordsmiths this podcast has ever seen in my opinion - it would have been other worldly 😢
Mike is not only full of useful knowledge, he’s also fucking hilarious. Great convo guys
I wanna see Dr. Mike and Sam Sulek do a workout video together sooo badly... I think they would totally kill it together, Sam's strength with Dr. Mike's guidance and training 💪
yes pls
yeah do it pls
Sam hates "Scientific" lifters.
@imranzero Sam doesn't hate anyone he just likes what works for him. Mike's a bit of an enigma by science based standards he's a smart dude but he can bro out hard too
Petition to have Mike on Bro Chat 👀
No please not.
Signed
Chill
He would be too busy and cerebral for Bro chat. As much as I love listening to both of them separately, it would be oil and water so actually add some of the silly stuff that makes bro chat fun. Dr. Mike loves dirty jokes and have a fun side, but he’s way more serious on certain things
Nope, there's no need
Never thought this would happen. Have followed both you Fouad and Mike for years. Love both. Learned so much. Laughed so much. Thank you! Can’t wait to listen
This is by far your best podcast Fouad. Dr Mike always delivers and gotta admit he speaks so easy to understand it just makes it so good.
Most boring
@@GibranCamus-fh2wk Probably because he couldn’t understand. Not enough “unga bunga” in Dr. Mike’s vocabulary.
@@GibranCamus-fh2wkhis IQ is too low
@@TheMjfan2000 boring? Lol 😂 guess you aint about that life
It's the banter, tangents and jokes as well... He's really good at keeping you engaged surrounding typically 'boring' topics...
fitness has become so bastardized it’s nice to see Mike talk to the fact that you just have to work hard and there’s no way around it when it comes to getting better in the gym
Yeet
I've been waiting for this. Would also be nice to see Mike and Mike debate about training.
Ya that would be pretty cool.
Me too. I was hoping Fouad would have him on one day :)
In theory it would be great but i think Mike Van Wyck can't articulate training as good as Mike. Hence Van Wyck also prefers to show you. Both are great but just because they both great doesn't mean the both will be greater in a conversation
@@dejenga yep. mike gives off the energy in the gym where you will do whatever he wants ... he is incredible but he can't transfer that into a debate for long.
@@Alexanderthegr800his evidence are his clients
Have him on bro chat once. Would be top banter
He'd take over. Top lad.
Obviously very educated and a wealth of knowledge. I’m here for his sense of humor 😅😅😅. Dr. Mike is funny as hell
Yeah I love Mike's sense of humor
THE podcast I've been dreaming of! Bro science meets ... uh ... SCIENCE science. 💪
Absolute respect for how humble and willing to learn a legend like Fouad shows himself. Dude with a ton of accolades yet so comfortable to say "i don't know x", "i never though z"... that's just awesome.
Mike is so freaking hilarious. This is the crossover I’ve been waiting for. I always thought that you guys are on the same page.
I've seen every episode of rbp, bc, bb&b, and meatballs n hummus, and this is by far the best episode to date. Could've easily been 3 hours long. Can't wait for Dr. Mike to be back on hell he'd fit right in on an episode of brochat too
This is the episode we’ve all be waiting for! Thank you, Fouad! 🙏🏼
I have been waiting for this for years. Can’t wait to listen to it
My 2 fav bodybuilding channels finally colab, I need him on brochat!!!
A collab I’ve been praying for
the respect show between these two is something a man should strive his whole life to achieve
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast. Mike and Fouad????? Has god blessed me?
Dr. Mike is the Einstein of muscle hypertrophy! He would be a great addition to BroChat! Plus he is freakin hilarious!
Mike is the best coach I've ever had and I haven't paid a dime.
I think we need a Dr Mike and Fouad only podcast!! I could listen to these 2 all day. Great content and def one of my favorite RBP of all time!!!
I’ve been training 35 years and listened to this 3x now. You and Dr Mike (Izzy) and the last Bro Chat with him as well confirmed a lot of what I’d say is fact after that time plus I learned a lot. I am truly grateful to both of you and all I’ve learned from you , Fouad. Fouad, Izzy, and Mike Van Wyck have taught me a lot the past few years. Iain too. Paul is such a funny guy. Appreciate everything. Entertainment and Knowledge. Much Love.
This was wonderful! Enjoyed every second of it and can’t wait for the follow up! Thank you Fouad for having him on and I’d love to see many more!!
Really enjoyed this conversation. the jotting of note was super respectful to make sure points and questions didn’t get lost. Definitely need a part two.
Any chance of doing this again? I love that you let the conversation flow while still poking for the important information that is relevant to all of us across the levels
Almost hours of gold. Thanks for sharing Fouad! Dr Mike explains everything so well & doesn’t make it boring!
Great episode! I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Mike two times on my podcast. He’s a great guy, very knowledgeable and funny.
FINALLY I've been waiting for this. Please do Part 2
Thanks Fouad and Dr Mike!!!! Great conversation🎉
Great episode, we need to see more of Mike on the channel
This podcast was great! I would love to see Mike back here with the rest of the gang (or even back to a 1 on 1 with Fouad again!)
54:18- 54:30 I love Dr Mike he has the BEST analogies
Awesome episode with two awesome people! Thankyou for making it happen Fouad🙏🏻
was waiting for this one!!!! can't wait!!
M’fers started to forget; Fouad reminded them. No one in bodybuilding could conduct an interview as well as him! Keep doing you Fouad!
🙏🏽
As a fan of Dr Mike/RP and this podcast, I've been waiting for this for years lol, thanks Fouad for delivering 👏
Dr mike cracks me up every time. Guy does not miss! Thank you for having him.
The collab i've been waiting for!!
I’ve been waiting for this day for 5 years.
Love Dr Mike so much, thanks for having him on!
Yes! Fouad, you never disappoint. Mike on Bro Chat next! Would be great to see the "bro" side of Mike. His sense of humor is witty, would be a good showcase.
So happy to see Mike on here. I always thought his personality would gel well with the crew.
Great interview, Fouad asked all the questions I was thinking. Super informative.
This was an amazing video it has cleared a lot for me when I train here forward especially about the whole soreness and recovery great PC!!!
100% one of my favorite podcasts you've done on the channel so far or in general this summer that I've listened to period. The random insane jokes combined with the knowledge was awesome
So much respect shown for doctor Mike and his scientific knowledge. Respect to Fouad for asking really great questions and imo being super humble
Been following you both for years. Thank you for everything 💪🙏
This is such a great and informative interview. I hope he comes back on the pod more often!!
Love these two fellas, followed them both for years and years. Excited to listen!
Great chat. Really!
Fouad really picked Mike's brain. Impossible to do if you haven't been in the trenches. Not just accepting Mike's ideas, but questioning his thinking so he would have to give more nuanced answers.
GJ, guys! Much obliged! 😊
P.S. Mike's a funny dude.
Fouad!! Amazing Dr Mike came out of nowhere I feel like and have been watching nothing but him and Jared for the last year
I wanna see dr mike answer questions with the bro chat lol
Especially the questions that make you second guess your morals
Super informative. Thanks for having Mike on and thanks for sharing so much info Mike!
Dr. Mike is the best guest. Everytime. Everywhere.
Man this was great. Thanks for listening to the people and having Mike on; really really enjoyed it
Man, Mike's so well spoken, and Fouad had the spot on questions! 👏
Foaud you legend! I love Dr Mike, super intelligent, great information for general practices and probably one of the funniest people in this space of youtube. I watch RP and Hosstile more than any other bodybuilding channels
What a collad]b! Two of the best in our industry!
Dr. Mike is the man. Super intelligent and funny to boot.
Mike is amazing, he explains that shit so well. He's fucking perfect if you can have him on one of the lifestyle pods to fuck around to call out bullshit. that's probably a wish that will never be granted tho
Nice one Fouad, You and Dr Mike woohooooo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great interview. Fouad approached this with a student mindset and it helped me learn too. Thanks!
Love this! Glad you finally had him over. A great crossover show.

THE ULTIMATE GUEST WE WANTED.
I’ve always wanted this to happen! I was buzzing when I saw this.
And there he is finally! I'm so excited starting this video, like going years ago to cinema on Avengers Endgame lol
Dr. Mike finally!
I’ve never been so excited for a duo! Love dr mike
how can you not love mike
Dude... the business and content moves you're making are ridiculous... GREAT RBP... awesome episode - REALLY enjoyed this... 🤩🤩
Mike is the best . He talks like that one uncle everyone’s has but way smarter ❤
Holy fking sht my dream has come true. Thanks Hoss
Dr. Mike is the man! Been following him and Jarred for some time now! Agree with above that he needs to appear on bro chat!

This is awesome love this so much it’s been long overdue
need a second part of this, best interview ever.
LOVED IT!!!
Awesome podcast knowledgeable forsure and reassuring me on many things👌🏽🤝🏼 bring him back more sooner than later Fouad buddy 👍🏽
I've learned so much on this one
Now every other bodybuilder with a podcast will interview Mike after Fouad. 😂😂😂. Fouad you are a true Trend setter. 🙏🏼
Finally. This had to be done.
This will be an absolute banger! So excited
Ok Mike is the real deal. This was informative and funny af.
The most substantive podcast about bodybuilding until now or at least since looooong long time. 🙏 🎉
Wow I’m impressed by the quality of this podcast, both questions and answers reach a worthwhile discussion with priceless information. Thx for the sharing ! 👊
Very much enjoyed this episode! Can't wait for part 2!
Finally 👏👏👏👏. Well done, Fouad. Wonderful questions. Also, I was not going to ever bother with the RP apps, but this intro actually made me realize I either need this app or need to get a coach to reach my goals. Absolutely beautiful. Love you guys fr fr 👏
Wow I’ve been wanting this collab forever. Lfggggg

Awesome episode! I’d love to hear you talk to Dr Mike about bro splits vs more frequent training
23:27 overload really can be as simple as just doing reps more controlled / with better technique, just boils down to getting better some way every session
🎯
OMG! I love this, you are just amazing Fouad
Listening to the banter on this podcast makes me dream about what it would have been like to have Mike, Iain, and Luke on together - the three best wordsmiths this podcast has ever seen in my opinion - it would have been other worldly 😢
LOVED IT! Bring him back -- you two rock
really missed these one on ones. keep Rbp alive!
