I'm so grateful for this period of time we get to watch Jared and Mike's camaraderie while they chase their bodybuilding goals and give us A+ information. What a great duo, and a great era
I used to watch these workout "motivation" vids from fitness influencers and I never really got the point. Someone cheat curling 40kg dumbbells never made me wanna hit the gym immediately. Watching this vid, i understand that feeling for the first time now. You getting that last rep in at 11:50, eyes bloodshot, mid section almost bursting, quads fucking pumped as hell... that is true intensity.
When i do that people start staring at me and I'm not the roaring type since I workout quietly a few grunts here and there but not intentional. I guess it's just that jeezus christ he's really milking that thing like i already did my 6 reps and it's the last set but I'm feeling it so I make this decision when this urge to do more comes so I hit it another then another pausing each time ago and a little more intense till I turn red and veins in my head start popping. Feels good bruh, like pent up frustrations unleashed.
Dude, my buddies always get me at least once a gym session mid set with some off the wall bullshit that gets me laughing and I have to pause the set. "Moms make sons weak" is the type of shit they'd say.
I had my mate dropping the bench if I wasn't spotting. In a testosterone fueled voice " ichi, ni, San" On the fourth instead of shi I said in a high voice "they them" This shit all everyday. He got me back though.
Been watching for a while.... consider myself as an intermediate trying to get to advanced. With your videos and advice, I'm now growing like mad! sore AF as well but have random people ask me if I'm a competitor frequently. Utilizing your advice and wisdom has helped me turn the corner. Thank you 💙
Hey Dr Mike! Just wanna say that your full body male template in the metabolic training mesocycle is incredibly brutal and fun. Can't wait for the legs emphasis 😅😅
*That looks like a very gruesome, effective workout.* *The DB Lunge tip is amazing because I started doing them and focused on the front leg and took as much pressure off the backfoot as possible while going down slowly.* *That seemed very effective and stretched/pumped the shit out of my glutes but also my Quads, without impacting my rear leg too much but rather stretching my hip.* *Could barely lift myself up at the last rep.* *_Thanks for the info! It is very valuable if you are still unexperienced in many areas and try to ''make the lift harder, more intense''_* *_without adding weight to improve the technique, being able to go up in weight while having a effective form._*
God no, the members content is awesome! Exclusive lectures, more specific topics and a bunch of extended cuts of great videos, plus a lot more direct training videos. Absolutely the best $6.00 per month I’ve ever signed up for
Had seen these hammy tips on six pack chick channel when Jared trained Victoria and I literally am sooo sore today love the slow, pause power with the lean forward, thank you!!!
I feel for you. My gym has a whole collection of Hoist Roc-It machines and I hate them. The whole Roc-It concept is so gimmicky and unnecessary. Thankfully they have other good machines as well.
Just started incorporating these slow deep stretch eccentrics and WOW, its tough for sure. Focusing on that portion vs always squeezing at the top os definitely something new but i like it!
I think that’s the best seated hamstring curl I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve never liked them because seats are too big and you squash the muscle you’re working but that looks amazing for it!
I have a question. I built my legs up in the last six months, but I'm ready to try cardio to start cutting body fat. I want to keep the muscles I earned. I keep hearing from people that if I do cardio, I will lose some of the muscle, and in the past, I did too much cardio and lost most of the muscle I earned. Can you tell me the perfect treadmill setting to lose fat? Such as the incline, speed, how long to walk, and how many times a week. I want to start the cardio in July. Thanks
Thought I'd share an anecdote from my own recent experience and suggest an alternative. I've been spending the last 6 weeks learning cleans, 2-3x a week. It is such a technical movement it requires 100's (probably more like thousands) of repetitions to really perfect and execute a proper clean. My cardiovascular endurance has absolutely increased and have burned fat just simply learning the technique with an empty barbell up to only 135ibs. Weight lifting is super dynamic and can be personalized to satisfy any goal. To sum it up, if you don't enjoy traditional cardio, try cleans! When you start to get good at them you can incorporate other movements, keeping the weight low (reducing systemic fatigue and more aerobic) such as push presses, hang cleans, power clean, push jerk, ect as well as develop your front squat (if you don't already) naturally through just cleaning. There are plenty of offbrand fitbit's (like at walmart) to track calorie expenditure and you can measure this against any cardio you may do. Also, calisthenics, more ab work will burn calories without gnarly systemic fatigue and not beat your joints up. I'd keep in mind, the vast majority of people who think they clean don't. Film yourself a lot and maintain a very high level attention to detail, frame by frame on your video. Filming yourself is the only way to ensure you are executing well and use only Olympic lifter form videos for guidance (just avoid crossfit). A mirror is not helpful with these at all. Anyhow, good luck on the cut.
@@salemsarni-gg7md@salemsarni-gg7md Thanks; I already found that info some time ago, and I'm on the right track. After a few weeks, I'm shedding, and the muscles are showing up.
Bit late and in no way am i a professional but the concept of doing cardio will take away muscle is smthn people who are too lazy to actually do it made up to feel better abt themsleves. The only exception is u shouldnt do it immediately before or after training. Meaning do your cardio early and then later in the day go train or vice versa
Crazy thing about Legs, I backed off my volume about 6 months ago, due to needing a hip replacement. My legs grew with the lessened volume. So definitely something to lower volume, increase the intensity.
RP app has me on the following for my perdominately leg day - on week 4 leg press @ 125# x2 sets- 25 reps Leg extension @ 62.5# - 1 set - 22reps ** theres no space between these two exercises does that mean theyre supposed to be a superset??? dumbell reverse lunge @ 20# x1 set - 23 reps **2-3 sets previous weeks lying leg curl @ 75# x1 set - 11reps calf machine @ 40# x3 sets - 21,21,16 before the RP app i would do these same exercises except reverse lunge for 5sets 10-12 with relatively the same weights +/- 10pounds and never felt the same amount of pump im getting from what RP app lays down for me, im also working with far greater ROM as well. Dr. Mike - Just cut a piece of foam pad shaped for over your shoulders and connects behind the neck - essentially a foam collar - should solve the issue
I never believed that Jared feather was Mike's son until I saw him working out with Crocs on. I was like, "It's all true, every word that comes out of Mike's mouth is the truth." I'm just like wow!
I wake up early and be as much active as I can during the day by the end of the day I am finished somedays I go to bed 7:30 some 8 the latest is 9pm I can't stay longer than that. I get up 4am
Hey Mike, enjoying the content, I am curious about a trend I noticed lately in your training videos, though. I remember you used to advocate one exercise for up to six or seven sets, and then considering adding another exercise, should you train with more than 8 sets per muscle group. Lately though, your training consists primarily of various exercises for the same muscle group, each one of them performed for two, sometimes 3 sets. Is this a new approach you are taking, or was your old advice more of a suggestion for beginners, and not advanced lifters who need to target the muscle in various ways?
This session is the first session after an active rest phase, so the sets and effort are relatively low compared to the end of the mesocycle, by which time there will be more sets per exercise to higher intensity.
Great workout! I noticed when you came to full standing on presses and hack squat your knees fully locked out and even bounced on each set. Is the warning not to lock out on those just a myth?
Are the pads you’re using at 8:56 to avoid those shoulder bruises? My friend got those on the calf press machine and thought they were “gains” looked just like too much weight but does it not matter? Will the weight being heavy enough cause bruises reguardless if you’re strong enough to work w the weight?
On the lunges, I usually shoot my hips forward as much as possible in the bottom of the movement, kinda stretching the hip flexors, would you say that takes away from the glutes, I feel them getting a big stretch as well, but I've noticed you guys don't really do that, so just asking to check if it's on purpose.
Just done my first barbell quad focused lunges for the first time ever, Ain't lying, but I think I'm gonna have the shitty walk in 2 days 😂 what an unbelievable pump from 🙌
Hey Dr Mike - I have a question regarding nutrition and I would really appreciate if you had any insight on this and a definitive answer if possible. Lets say I only train 3 days a week, this means that I will have times where I have not trained for at least 2 days, Over these days of recovery how much does it matter if i meet my protein macro requirements - can I slack off a little on these days without significant negative effects to my progress?
Dr. Mike and Jared the son, how do you guys rate Bulgarian split squat, walking lunges (glute focused), and front leg elevated reverse lunges in terms of developing glutes? I am using RP training app and incorporating all of them in my mesocycle, but I would like to know what are your rankings about them? Thank you!!!
6:14 Mike in the back drinking like a big-ass toddler got me pissing myself hahaha
I don't think it was even a joke 😂 why does he drink like that
And drinking urine, none the less.
How is that drinking like a toddler?
@imbaby5499 because toddlers use two hands when drinking, exactly like that.
The proportions threw me off too, like is Dr. Mike way smaller than I thought, or is that bottle way bigger than normal? This is some Hollywood levels of trickery from Scott the video guy.

that would be fun
I think there was a workout with Scott The Videoguy (his full name). Pretty sure it was uploaded a year or two ago.

Hoist Roc-it seated hamstring curl machine is easily the worst hamstring machine I've ever used, but that's all I got so I make it work.
I feel for you. My gym has a whole collection of Hoist Roc-It machines and I hate them. The whole Roc-It concept is so gimmicky and unnecessary. Thankfully they have other good machines as well.
I agree sadly that just happens to be the only seated hamstring curl that isn't broken right now 😞
They look cool if you video someone using them but that's about all for the novelty
Yes! Always make your workout partner laugh during a set. Especially on squats.
My fav episode so far!! Love the interaction with your son! Your a sour patch and he is a sweet heart… but we still love you Mike 😂
Day 1 of requesting Tom Platz's leg day for the guy who's on day 14 of requesting Tom Platz's leg day.

5 plates on hack squat just seems insane to me. I struggle with 3 plates. very very strong guys! and the form is 💋
Music is so 🔥🔥🔥 in this one
4:03 Goblin sound effect
We want to see Scott "The video guy " workout
Love the training videos, so good
Holy crap Mike, you’re a beast on that hack squat machine
Hamstring curl hack: put a hip thrust tube on the metal part at the bottom. Doesn't make that loud metal sound.
It was sick to see Mike get at it!
Amazing workout!
A video of how to breath during workouts would help a lot
1:10 like the How To Basic of hypertrophy
Dr. Mike I noted that on seated hamstring curls, you lower your thigh instead of keeping it stationary. Is that by design?
Ir is the hamstrings do both hip extension and knee flexion so if you want to have maximal contraction you can putvin some extension activity
Just started incorporating these slow deep stretch eccentrics and WOW, its tough for sure. Focusing on that portion vs always squeezing at the top os definitely something new but i like it!
This is awesome...who needs TV reality shows when you these 2 duds that are actually related! Thank you fellows...😊
Please do one on lu raises ans their effectiveness dor side delts
Yeah I just started doing lu raises. Basically like mikes supralateral raises but you shrug while doing it instead of just emphasizing delts
Its more of a compound exercise than isolation when it comes to delts/traps
I do them with plates to feel like an Olympic weightlifter (I'm unemployed).
I think that’s the best seated hamstring curl I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve never liked them because seats are too big and you squash the muscle you’re working but that looks amazing for it!

Always get at least your minimum protein even on rest days
Makes sense to stay consistent bc rest days are when the muscles are recovering and need the extra love
