Marky Mark has that stupidly busy schedule. If you haven't seen it, look it up. Why would he waste his time on 90 percent warm up with that schedule? This has to be bull shit from this guy, right?
Fr dude. I do 15-20 rep sets for total 20 sets of 20lb dumbell pair exercises 5 times a week, and it only takes around 30-35 mins, yet I feel like a dead dog at the end. I seriously wouldn't want to see what 4 hour workout everyday looks like.
I work out for 30 minutes a day 4x a week. That's it. And I've managed to sack on about 30lbs of (mostly) lean mass in about 1.5 to 2 years. Most people don't have time for hrs a day for exercise. Especially people like me who work full time and have 2 young kids. I make it work for me and I give it a good solid 30 min of busting ass, then I go on with my day. It doesn't have to be complicated.
Make as many jokes as you like, Dr. Mike. This guy's iconic jumping jacks/one arm barbell overhead press combo move changed my life forever. I'm looking swole af in my wheelchair.
People won't admit the truth about PEDs. Its not that they super charge your workouts - they raise your baseline muscularity. This is why things like the traps and such grow - muscles that you might not even work normally. They did a study where people literally doing nothing gained more muscle then people working out - provided they were on roids. Of course if you lift and do steroids there is an additive effect. You get the gains you would have made lifting and the gains that you get from starting in a much better place.
I mean even doing bullshit workouts for 20 years will get you somewhere. Not where you would be if you weren't doing bullshit, but you'd still be better physical shape than the average person who doesn't really workout at all.
I really enjoyed this video. I heard a lot of this in the military from coaches. Everything was about balance, posterior chain and posture. We did identical exercises to this and it never helped with my lifts.
Wait, trying to figure out what your guys workout in the military. You ain't talking buddy carry, log pt, runs, crocodile walks and all those fun stuff?
Dude I love that your videos are a mix of education and legitimate comedy skits. Few youtube channels could be their own tv show and yours is one of them!!
As a trainer he's actually doing his job perfectly, he's giving Mark EXACTLY what he wants, a bunch a whoo whoo stuff that will make him feel like an athlete and make him exhausted so he thinks he worked really hard, while not actually pushing him and fatiguing him with real bodybuilding training. He is absolutely a personal trainer and he's training marks ego.
Thats probably the right answer. Hollywood is know for big egos and they dont train like the filfthy peasants lmao Also juice so even dumb training will get some results.
Lmao literally why i stopped training people, its all marketing and making people tired for the sake of making them feel like they did something. I cringe everytime i see a trainer use battle ropes or the sled on a client at the gym for absolutely zero reason.
This is my favourite vid ever, I laughed so much through this. Only found your channel a week or so ago... Loving it. You have helped me with some of my lifting. This is awesome

yup... the only way to save this workout from just being a joke is the addition of peptides... that is the only way this workout in any way can be called hypertrophic
What’s really really sad is during my time in the Army we constantly were doing absolutely worthless exercises such as these led by just as big of 🤡. Made more progress in 8 months following Dr. Mike and other RUclipsrs than 5 years of military “training”
Can't believe the organization that pays you chump change to get blown up by an IED didn't give you a PHD workout program. What has this world come to?
I went into the Marines at 19, 142 lbs, unable to do 25 pushups. Came out of boot camp 3 months later 200 lbs and could push for 4 hrs. Once i got into my actual unit, everyone was super fit and muscular. We'd hit the gym for PT instead of the other useless crap other platoons were doing. Its what got me into fitness in the first place!
@@soulus25 curious what years did you serve? I was army 2017-2022. I was super skinny when I joined and got into decent shape during my time. However when comparing it to the progress made training myself in the gym it’s a complete joke. Take an average joe and have them train consistently in the gym for 5 years they will look way better and be way stronger than the average soldier doing PT.
I'm surprised he didn't include the Figure-8 Barbell Box Jump Backflip Yoga Ball Shoulder Press. That's my favorite exercise. It produces such an intense growth stimulus on my spleen!
Gordon Ramsay is fake as hell. He even gets his lines fed to him via earpiece and doesn't cook in his own restaurants (but yet charges as much as if he would)
@@Bale4Bond Lol what ? Dude has like 15 restaurants all over the world of course he doesn't cook himself. Every single chef worth a dime does that. They open many restaurants and hire executive chefs to run them. That's just being a CEO. This is just how it works in fine dining.
@@Fr0gSplashh Once Marco Pierre White (three Michelin stars and Ramsay's teacher) realized that he couldn't uphold the standard of his restaurants, due to not being able to cook in them simultaneously, he showed integrity by taking his name of those restaurants and handing back his stars and pretty much retiring from that point forward. It is sadly common for most celebrity chefs to plaster their names onto restaurant, but that just shows a lack of class and respect for the craft.
@@Bale4Bond At the end of the day it's just business. They're just building a bigger cash cow for their companies. That's how the world works. If the executive chef is good enough to have stars, he'll get stars. If he's good enough to keep them, he'll keep them. Eugénie Brazier was the first person to ever get 3 stars. Guess what ? She actually had 6 stars, because already back then, 70 years from now, she had multiple restaurants. Robuchon and Bocuse did it. Ducasse still has 17 stars to his name. They're legendary french chefs. Would you dare say the very guys who created the legend don't respect the craft ? Even Troisgros, the longest tenured 3 star restaurant ever (has been 3 star for 55 years straight), is now a brand with multiple restaurants. It makes no sense to talk about disrespect honestly.
@@Bale4Bond fagetaboutdit. 9 guys are all about "whatever makes the BIG BUCKS DUDE f##k integrity " so i guess common opinion is that you're wrong. (I am of the 2 upvotes)
Well I usually imagine them reacting like: Oh it's really good I can really feel it, makes me tired, I sweat a lot, I loose weight, makes me feel stronger, blah blah blah!
I am so glad these videos exist. You are doing a real service for those of us who don't want to waste our time. I know fuck all about this stuff and would probably easily be tricked into doing stuff like this. There is a ton of this weird stuff in my gym and part of the fun is people noticing the weight I move go up consistently while everyone else is jerking themselves off with bands and partial reps and making no progress. What is even more fun is the people at jiujitsu having the horrifying realization that I am not only better than them, but now I am getting stronger too.
Honestly man I went from eating 10 Mcchickens on a bulk (when they were $1) to understanding nutrition and how “just one more PR bro” probably did more harm than good lol
I’m so glad that when I was looking for workout advice a couple years ago (as a middle-aged beginner) that the only Men’s Health video I came across was Henry Cavill’s workout. It isn’t _100%_ dog shit and only damaged my rotator cuffs a little bit. Not to mention slaughtered my confidence with a lack of delt progress. Thank you, Dr. Mike and Sean Nal.
As a competitive athlete, I really genuinely enjoy watching you pick all this bs apart. None of these movements are sport specific and none of them really build muscle. These are all really over complicated exercises that get you to sweat and look good on instagram with the idea of tricking the masses into thinking they just aren’t doing the latest trendy thing, and that’s why they aren’t getting results. Just stick to the basics, the tried and true, you get plenty of mileage from them.
@@Spectificationno, stop. I get you're a newbie at the gym, but Unless you're doing sport specific training like drills on those small ladders for directional agility, stick to your basics: majority compounds movements, some isolations, different planes of motion trained (i.e. a vertical pull and a horizontal pull) and a cardio modality you enjoy. No near crawls, and no bosu ball overhead squats.
@@Spectification If you are one of those people who wears latex dog masks and goes to fetish conventions, then sure bear crawls have its place. No judgement.
My mental image of Mark Walberg doing a bear crawl in a figure eight pattern had me in tears - and that was before I imagined Dr. Mike in black latex chaps whipping him while he does it.
I was in a program for kinesiology where you could get NASM certified alongside the coursework and one of the things they pushed was upper cross syndrome and corrective exercise. They showed pictures of gamers and people with “neck problems and postural deficiencies” that needed to be corrected by targeted stretching and strengthening. One of the things they mentioned were these peoples’ inability to stand up straight. I called bullshit in class and, admittedly anecdotally, referenced my time in the military as an example why it was nonsense. I’ve seen so many people of all ages who would qualify under NASM’s criteria for upper crossed syndrome jump to absolute attention when a Colonel walks in the room. Postural issues immediately disappear. Anyway, I stopped chasing that degree path.
I think these things are generally about teaching awareness not necessarily capability. Like, for sure, if you did a bunch of stuff with your neck and thought, "Hey, I'm going to stand up straight from now on," you definitely stand-up straight. Of course, they just leave out that you could simply decide to do that at any point in time and that would be far more efficient. 😂
As a new PT, I came to the comments to read what people were saying about this because I found it pretty puzzling. He mischaracterizes the entire concept pretty blatantly. How it was taught to me, and how I treat my patients who do in fact stand in an upper crossed posture... it's not that they CAN'T move out of that posture it's that they DON'T. The exercises are there to get them to break those patterns, and to adjust passive tension in the muscles. So it's not's that your pecs are "on" it's that they've got greater passive tension from staying in a shorter position relative to the lengthened postural muscles. Could you fix your posture by just having better posture? Yeah! and I try to teach them to do that too. But acting like upper crossed syndrome isn't a real thing is just... very confusing because I see it literally every day in my patients. Maybe the difference is he's talking about athletes and healthy people and I'm seeing pathological cases I suppose. I dunno. But even in my short time as a PT I've seen tons of cases of upper crossed posture.
i seriously enjoyed this video, it actually shocks me that Mark being the perfectionist that he is , has this guy of all training him for years. Id like to see him after 16 weeks with you .
It's all bs to hide his steroid use imo. I don't think Mark trains like that. That's like how trainers train their female client for the first few days at my gym.
@@yusufayaz2356 Mark does none of this trust me, you notice how in these "train like x" vidoes they never actually shows the real person doing this bullshit.
14:01 Mark is actually doing the “bilateral lower body pull”. I really think Mark is eating it up. Mark has good genetics on top of exogenous support I’m sure.
@@yusufayaz2356 , trust me, he does do this kinda shit training. He can't even do a single pull-up. He merely looks the part, but he's seriously lacking in strength.
Professor. New viewer here. Really cool video. Maybe this is obvious, but it regards exercising for posture (in a sense). I started doing seated machine inverted rows on my break at work, where I'm on my feet walking a lot. Again, maybe obvious but I found the specific pump and tightness I felt after my workouts (which were quick, 15 mins) fostered an erect posture in me, especially while on my feet. I know those tows aren't geared FOR posture but just wanted to point out to folks that it may help keep them composed while walking (and not just sitting). I fell in love with the exercise for this reason! Thanks!
Mike is the only fitness RUclipsr that not only gives great information, makes you die laughing while watching his videos. The dominatrix joked almost made me choke on my drink 😂
I have severe hyper-hydrosis. My hands sweat so much so quickly, i have to wrap my hands or wear gloves to maintain ANY grip. Only my trx straps absorb the ridiculous amount of water that comes off my hands naturally. I have dealt with this my entire life and wish it on no one. Love to all, and thank you for the content Dr. Mike!
My hands are super sweaty as well; It will be like I’ve ran them under the tap! I also have eczema and sensitive skin. The grippies on the barbells do nothing for my sensitive skin- but make it bleed.
I used to have the same problem. Ask your doctor about oxybutynin. It's been life-changing for me. It was originally designed to help people control their bladders but it can also be prescribed to help people who sweat extremely abnormal amounts like me.
I love this series so much! Can we also quantify Dr. Mike's annoyance by having him wear a heart rate monitor, and take his blood pressure before and after the critique?
There are really well educated, smart, hardworking, honest people who barely scrape by doing what they love. And then there are people who make millions doing that exact same job, with none of those things. Good.
Dude. You are a riot!!! Im a NASM CPT and I roll my eyes during the classes I need to take to stay certified. I listen, nod, pass the test… But I teach people old school. A simple warmup (toe touches, windmills, side lunges, body squats and V-ups). And then variations of squat, dead’s, bench, military, and pull ups (or lat pull downs for 95% of clients) depending on their goals and fitness level. Nothing new under the sun. Just half baked marketing nonsense. The same $#1t I learned for high school football
As someone who only seriously started weight training about 1 year ago, Dr. Mike’s videos have been an absolutely amazing resource to help cut through the BS in the fitness world. Without an actually knowledgeable resource like Dr. Mike, fitness/dieting seems so confusing. I still have a lot to learn about weight training, but I’ve discovered that the basics are really not that complicated. Eat enough protein. Don’t eat too many or too few calories. Use good technique. Stick to exercises that can be progressively overloaded. Rest and recover so you can improve next session. Pretty logical stuff tbh. But casual gym goers see stuff like these Hollywood training videos, and you just assume that an actor who makes tens of millions of dollars for looking attractive on TV would use an effective training program. Apparently not. It’s just “chicken, broccoli, rice” and a whole lot of PEDs off screen.
I'm right there with you. I started 8 months ago. A lot of this exercise science bs is great critical thinking practice. If you're training your front delts why would you want to be limited by an uneven base? Makes complete sense when you think about it. So happy he puts this stuff out there.
Well. I am sure this is a great expert on hypertrophy. For staying healthy and functional, I would more look into other sources. Like yoga, functional fitness, pranayama, swimming, kettlebells, you know. That woowoo bullshit that, if you widen your view more than angry expert, trains your balance, makes you move well, lets you use your strength in good posture in unpracticed scenarios. That "endless warmup" is just a great session for overall fitness. And breathing techniques, as science more and more confirms the "new wave woowoo" and old teachings, are some of the strongest means to controll our mind (see huberman labs for some research podcasts). Hypertrophy is just one stone in the wall of your health and happiness. Have fun training!
@@NotaNazgul No one's bashing warming up. They're criticizing these ridiculous exercises and movement choices. The exercises he chose for a "warmup" were borderline humiliating/demeaning, they were so nonsensical. Also, if you're training an actor to be "fit" for a movie, you're training their physique. The studio doesn't care about their balance or posture or cardio. They want a jacked dude to show up super lean and starving for filming. That's bodybuilding/conditioning, which is what Dr. Mike is an expert in. None of this work is optimal for hypertrophy - hence the criticisms.
@@clamdigger1602I agree with the warm-up...a bit overkill and it shouldn't be demanding and taxing or ridiculous. Being an older guy with injuries and who only use kettlebells for fitness, I just move the joints to lube them. Things like shoulders rolls, prying squats, hip, wrist and ankle rotations ect. Usually about 5 mins from head to toes and I'm done. I like the concept of just doing a few reps of the exercise that you are doing too with light weight when i was doing barbell work. We have to be practical too and understand that we may be called upon to use all our strength without a warm up in a life situation. As an older guy also, the single DL is an important exercise. It would be funny if you are able to DL 300lbs but you can't put your pants on standing up! I dunno why they need a band on not uses a kettlebell/dumbell though. Can't understand either why they do barbell press when they have access to a bench and a whole gym. I don't have access and I wouldn't even use the kettlebell for a floor press. I prefer a standing press with bands. You get a super stretch and you have to engage the whole body to keep you stable. I think that was a very poor workout and it's hard to see how Mark got his body from that....he must be genetically gifted.
@@clamdigger1602 I partially agree. But your assumptions about the requirements for stars are totally wrong. Many of them are educated in dance, ballet and such. They move graciously, with little effort, only balance can do that. If they had the stiff back of 50 years old who only focuses on hypertrophy, they would look and move clumsy. Not attractive.
I remember when Marky Marks "workout" vide came out. I literally couldn't get through the whole video. Thank you Dr. Mike for saying everything I literally could not get out of my brain. We Love You
It’s videos like this, and your reaction to them, that actually make me fearful of engaging a trainer to help me with my beginner/intermediate form. As the weights start to get heavier, and being in my mid fifties, I’m really scared of injury. So I really want to a good trainer. This video scares the hell out of me. How do I find someone who actually knows what they’re talking about?!?!?
Thank you Mike for exposing the absolute BS that some of these ‘celebrity trainers’ prescribe. I’m gonna go and warm up for my pre exercise 5 min treadmill walk. ✌🏼
I've run the push/pull split as you described it here and I loved it, but almost no one makes content about how to construct those splits or even brings them up as a viable option. Would love to see a video where you train someone on a split like that, although I know it's probably not that common
Yeah I love a deadlift/hamstrings and shoulder day. The deadlift helps my shoulders feel more open and.stable, and I get to work again my back, quads and other pushing muscles a little bit.
Works great for me who can only do a maximum of 4 gym sessions every week. You hit the whole body twice and can get pretty good exercise variety as well. Fantastic.
push pull legs is the most common split, it used to be really popular around 2015 then all the fitness influencers started saying bullshit and people believed them because theyre jacked
As a physiotherapist from Germany, hearing from you that Upper/lower cross syndrome ist as much bullshit as this whole posture thing is, I fell in love with you. Seriously, it's so hard to fight against these myths while 95% of the whole pt-/physio industry does bring them back into the game. So thank you with your 1,1 million views creating a better world
Your comment regarding posture is actually GOLD. Probably 99% of ppl I know think that bad posture is a thing, and I believed it too 3 minutes ago (well, lets say I just never questioned it). You destroyed everything in 2 sentences. I love it
Trouble is 'Bad posture' is so, so, SO ingrained in most peoples mentality that trying to add any nuance to it immediately gets you labelled as a quack.
I mean bad posture IS a thing. Dr Mike isn't saying it's not. He's saying people believing they have bad posture because they work out pecs too much or whatever is bullshit.
@@opabiniaregalis6197 Lordosis, Kyphosis, the famous forward head or "nerd posture", etc. They're all real. Pelvic tilt -posterior or anterior, rounded spine, an inability to maintain your lombar spine or cervicals upright because of a lack of mobility (often caused by years of a sedentaty lifestyle) or muscle atrophy in the posterior chain. Here's your usual suspects for a why. Different causes and different solutions for different postural problems. But they're all real for sure.
@@opabiniaregalis6197 I'd define as posture that makes you continuously get shorter as you arch more and more OR posture that's causing pain anywhere. Other than those two measurable issues it doesn't matter what you look like
I only came across your channel yesterday and Ive binge watched a tonne of your videos and holy crap you know your stuff unlike many other people on this platform thank you for your knowledge and cutting the BS you are the most informative creator here keep up the good work and yes my lack of commas and full stops is probably triggering to you Im sorry
So grateful for Dr. Mike's comments regarding posture. This was all new information for me, but I never understood the old explanations since I have a much more developed back but still horrible posture. And it always seemed like chefs, etc. would have that syndrome that everyone attributes to texting - but the many chefs I know (worked in restaurants forever) were always looking down and always had great posture (and very healthy egos 😆).
These review videos are awesome for getting me going at my home gym in the morning. When Dr Mike is talking I’m instantly made nervous and start to exercise to deal with all the feelings.
My man😅 yor videos, on comenting the hollywood and celeb' trainers and esercises, are so great and funny😂 They're perfect durin' my morning coffee rutine 👍
Hey Doc. I'm new here. Been into fitness for about 40 years now. Never did get any degrees or certifications though. Anyway, fun fact: some movie prop weapons are often scaled to size and weight (basically swords and firearms). Thanks for the content. You make even better arguments than I do when it comes to all this fad fitness crap. Now I can just share your videos instead of blowing my top. 😁👍🏽
You mean make your tendons stronger? The muscles around the knee joint are just your quads, hamstrings, and calves (plus a few adductors and a few others)
I've learned a lot about exercise and nutrition from RP and Jeff nipard and have designed my own exercise and deity plan from what I've learn but today I learned something new. That with my basic knowledge of these things I've designed a better workout program the mark Wahlbergs fitness expert ... As a side note, I've had bad posture since I was a kid, actively thinking of standing up straight till it becomes just how you stand is the only thing that ever worked no exercise ever made a difference. Thank you for acknowledging and saying it to the world Dr. Mike.
I love the last shot where he's pushing the Torque Tank with a bunch of people on it... unlike a sled that relies on weight to generate friction, resistance on the Tank doesn't increase with the the load placed on it, it is controlled by magnetic resistance.
New to the channel and man they do make me giggle, haha brilliant humour, but on serious note you rip the crap apart which is a good thing.. so great vids and channel
I work in a pt clinic and i have an undergrad in kinesiology and from what i know about upper crossed syndrome its just a collection of signs or symptoms. So in upper cross you can identify people with severe kyphosis of the thoracic spine along with a high degree of natural protraction and depression of the scapula and tight cervical spine extensors. You can see this in any elderly person with what we would conventionally call a hunchback. I think someone else mentioned in the comments already that he is probably mainly talking to people who generally have adequate posture and could do with just sitting up right more. But adaptive shortening and lengthening is definitely a thing and in part leads to problems likes upper cross syndrome. Would love if doctor mike made a follow up to this video explaining more about his views on posture and upper cross syndrome
Love your videos! One thing I'd like to note is, if you have trouble catching your breath or filling your lungs all the way with air, it actually really does help to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. I'm not entirely sure why, but I've heard that it's due to the air being too dry when you breathe through your mouth, however, if it's filtered through your nose, you don't feel that issue. This doesn't only help if you're out of breath, but also most other breathing related issues.

Didn't know knowledge and humor can go hand in hand! No one can roast a workout better than Dr. Mike!😂
So if Walberg actually trains like this, it's actually quite the endorsement for PEDs.
Mark is all genetics and PEDs 😂
Exactly what I thought while watching. Either the workout shown is bs or the peds are working extremely well.
People won't admit the truth about PEDs. Its not that they super charge your workouts - they raise your baseline muscularity. This is why things like the traps and such grow - muscles that you might not even work normally. They did a study where people literally doing nothing gained more muscle then people working out - provided they were on roids.
Of course if you lift and do steroids there is an additive effect. You get the gains you would have made lifting and the gains that you get from starting in a much better place.
I mean even doing bullshit workouts for 20 years will get you somewhere. Not where you would be if you weren't doing bullshit, but you'd still be better physical shape than the average person who doesn't really workout at all.

Thank you for your entertaining commentary in your videos. And it's usually very funny. It helps me watch to the end...
I'm surprised he didn't include the Figure-8 Barbell Box Jump Backflip Yoga Ball Shoulder Press. That's my favorite exercise. It produces such an intense growth stimulus on my spleen!
Cheers bro, I'm going to try that on Spleen day tomorrow 💪
@@ThiefOfNavarre make sure to breathe through your toenails as you do it.
That's a very corrective exercise
This cracked me up thankss😂😂😂😂
"Barbell box jumps" hahahaha. As an ex crossfitter I love this.
I would love to see Mike go undercover and get a PT session at a commercial gym 😂
I don’t think Mike could go undercover in any gym even wearing a bedspread!😅
Id rather see him get trained by this guy in the video. Or some other Hollywood trainer.
@@walterwood3229 FAT SUIT HIM UP
how would mike conceal his giant ass physique lol
Oh yes! Please make this happen 😅
Your critique videos are laugh out loud! Love them!
HAHAHAHAHA the eye twitch during the metabolic part somewhere around 17:01 😂💀😂💀😂 this video is a gem.
Dr Mike being the Gordon Ramsay of the fitness industry. Love it
Gordon Ramsay is fake as hell.
He even gets his lines fed to him via earpiece and doesn't cook in his own restaurants (but yet charges as much as if he would)
@@Bale4Bond Lol what ? Dude has like 15 restaurants all over the world of course he doesn't cook himself. Every single chef worth a dime does that. They open many restaurants and hire executive chefs to run them. That's just being a CEO. This is just how it works in fine dining.
@@Fr0gSplashh Once Marco Pierre White (three Michelin stars and Ramsay's teacher) realized that he couldn't uphold the standard of his restaurants, due to not being able to cook in them simultaneously, he showed integrity by taking his name of those restaurants and handing back his stars and pretty much retiring from that point forward.
It is sadly common for most celebrity chefs to plaster their names onto restaurant, but that just shows a lack of class and respect for the craft.
@@Bale4Bond At the end of the day it's just business. They're just building a bigger cash cow for their companies. That's how the world works. If the executive chef is good enough to have stars, he'll get stars. If he's good enough to keep them, he'll keep them.
Eugénie Brazier was the first person to ever get 3 stars. Guess what ? She actually had 6 stars, because already back then, 70 years from now, she had multiple restaurants. Robuchon and Bocuse did it. Ducasse still has 17 stars to his name. They're legendary french chefs. Would you dare say the very guys who created the legend don't respect the craft ? Even Troisgros, the longest tenured 3 star restaurant ever (has been 3 star for 55 years straight), is now a brand with multiple restaurants. It makes no sense to talk about disrespect honestly.
@@Bale4Bond fagetaboutdit. 9 guys are all about "whatever makes the BIG BUCKS DUDE f##k integrity " so i guess common opinion is that you're wrong.
(I am of the 2 upvotes)
I would love too see one of those trainers react and try to defend their insane workout routines 😂
*looks around kitchen for some popcorn*
I freaking wish!
Well I usually imagine them reacting like: Oh it's really good I can really feel it, makes me tired, I sweat a lot, I loose weight, makes me feel stronger, blah blah blah!
I'd love to see one of these clowns have a go with Dr. Mike trainer in charge.
@@armanahmadian4373 Yeah, either they are dishonest and won't give up the grift or are honestly that dumb and truly think it works.
I am so glad these videos exist. You are doing a real service for those of us who don't want to waste our time. I know fuck all about this stuff and would probably easily be tricked into doing stuff like this. There is a ton of this weird stuff in my gym and part of the fun is people noticing the weight I move go up consistently while everyone else is jerking themselves off with bands and partial reps and making no progress. What is even more fun is the people at jiujitsu having the horrifying realization that I am not only better than them, but now I am getting stronger too.
Appreciate this video so much, I can't say enough
I love how educated we as gym bros have become... makes me proud
Honestly man I went from eating 10 Mcchickens on a bulk (when they were $1) to understanding nutrition and how “just one more PR bro” probably did more harm than good lol
Doctors have always been educated, regardless of the field, that's kind of the whole meaning of doctorate - highest level of education 😅
@@retardno002I think he’s talking about us as the viewer not Dr Mike
This right here 🔥🔥🔥
@@retardno002 First half of that user name checks out.
Your Arnold impression was spot on…had to watch it twice…laughed my a** off.
I watched it like 4 times, I was CONVINCED he had dubbed Arnie's voice!!
same here. It was surprisingly accurate
Definitely rushed to the comments after he did the impression to see if anyone else thought it was a dub!
This is hysterical. One of the best yet
I’m so glad that when I was looking for workout advice a couple years ago (as a middle-aged beginner) that the only Men’s Health video I came across was Henry Cavill’s workout. It isn’t _100%_ dog shit and only damaged my rotator cuffs a little bit. Not to mention slaughtered my confidence with a lack of delt progress.
Thank you, Dr. Mike and Sean Nal.
I love this series so much, but this may be the best episode yet.
This is the best one for sure. Lots of good jokes, the man is a comedian.
I thought he would finally give out a 1.
As a competitive athlete, I really genuinely enjoy watching you pick all this bs apart. None of these movements are sport specific and none of them really build muscle. These are all really over complicated exercises that get you to sweat and look good on instagram with the idea of tricking the masses into thinking they just aren’t doing the latest trendy thing, and that’s why they aren’t getting results. Just stick to the basics, the tried and true, you get plenty of mileage from them.
I am a newbie in the gym. Bear crawl has its place though, no? Agility, full-body exercise, right? It wont make you jacked, but it has its place.
@@Spectificationno, stop.
I get you're a newbie at the gym, but Unless you're doing sport specific training like drills on those small ladders for directional agility, stick to your basics: majority compounds movements, some isolations, different planes of motion trained (i.e. a vertical pull and a horizontal pull) and a cardio modality you enjoy.
No near crawls, and no bosu ball overhead squats.
@@Spectification If you are one of those people who wears latex dog masks and goes to fetish conventions, then sure bear crawls have its place. No judgement.
@@Spectification dyel
@@Spectification If you want to be the fastest 4 legged animal, yes.
This is the best Dr Mike video I’ve seen yet and I’ve been bingeing them😭😭
"Yes, that's being out of breath..."
This guy is better than most comedians. Brilliant stuff here again with Dr. Mike!
Hilarious, thank you for the ab workout from laughter. Probably more effective than paying this trainer to warm you up over and over.
My mental image of Mark Walberg doing a bear crawl in a figure eight pattern had me in tears - and that was before I imagined Dr. Mike in black latex chaps whipping him while he does it.
chaps!
I take it he does that one on one of the mornings each month he isn't hung over
This was great. Subscribed
One of the best RUclips video ever! Informative and hilarious at the same time😂😂😂
I was in a program for kinesiology where you could get NASM certified alongside the coursework and one of the things they pushed was upper cross syndrome and corrective exercise. They showed pictures of gamers and people with “neck problems and postural deficiencies” that needed to be corrected by targeted stretching and strengthening. One of the things they mentioned were these peoples’ inability to stand up straight. I called bullshit in class and, admittedly anecdotally, referenced my time in the military as an example why it was nonsense. I’ve seen so many people of all ages who would qualify under NASM’s criteria for upper crossed syndrome jump to absolute attention when a Colonel walks in the room. Postural issues immediately disappear. Anyway, I stopped chasing that degree path.
It only took me 3 days to get nasm certified
yeah things like kinesiology really are all up to the teachers and school in how up to date and how little bullshit will be in there
I think these things are generally about teaching awareness not necessarily capability. Like, for sure, if you did a bunch of stuff with your neck and thought, "Hey, I'm going to stand up straight from now on," you definitely stand-up straight. Of course, they just leave out that you could simply decide to do that at any point in time and that would be far more efficient. 😂
As a new PT, I came to the comments to read what people were saying about this because I found it pretty puzzling. He mischaracterizes the entire concept pretty blatantly. How it was taught to me, and how I treat my patients who do in fact stand in an upper crossed posture... it's not that they CAN'T move out of that posture it's that they DON'T. The exercises are there to get them to break those patterns, and to adjust passive tension in the muscles. So it's not's that your pecs are "on" it's that they've got greater passive tension from staying in a shorter position relative to the lengthened postural muscles.
Could you fix your posture by just having better posture? Yeah! and I try to teach them to do that too. But acting like upper crossed syndrome isn't a real thing is just... very confusing because I see it literally every day in my patients.
Maybe the difference is he's talking about athletes and healthy people and I'm seeing pathological cases I suppose. I dunno. But even in my short time as a PT I've seen tons of cases of upper crossed posture.
And then everyone stood up and clapped
i seriously enjoyed this video, it actually shocks me that Mark being the perfectionist that he is , has this guy of all training him for years.
Id like to see him after 16 weeks with you .
I think these celeb workouts are all bullshit. Just like the chicken rice & broccoli diet to gain xxlbs of muscle in a few months of training.
It's all bs to hide his steroid use imo. I don't think Mark trains like that. That's like how trainers train their female client for the first few days at my gym.
@@yusufayaz2356 Mark does none of this trust me, you notice how in these "train like x" vidoes they never actually shows the real person doing this bullshit.
14:01 Mark is actually doing the “bilateral lower body pull”. I really think Mark is eating it up. Mark has good genetics on top of exogenous support I’m sure.
@@yusufayaz2356 , trust me, he does do this kinda shit training. He can't even do a single pull-up. He merely looks the part, but he's seriously lacking in strength.
Hey Doc -- love the content on the channel. What are your thoughts on kettlebells?
This was the best one I've seen yet! I Laughed so hard outloud it was hilarious! Thank you, keep the videos coming.
“I’m going to go off myself” 😂 it sums up this entire workout …Brilliant
I actually think this is the first time in my life I've seen a workout that will make you weaker and less athletic then before you started it.
Professor. New viewer here. Really cool video. Maybe this is obvious, but it regards exercising for posture (in a sense). I started doing seated machine inverted rows on my break at work, where I'm on my feet walking a lot. Again, maybe obvious but I found the specific pump and tightness I felt after my workouts (which were quick, 15 mins) fostered an erect posture in me, especially while on my feet. I know those tows aren't geared FOR posture but just wanted to point out to folks that it may help keep them composed while walking (and not just sitting). I fell in love with the exercise for this reason! Thanks!
This video had me dying laughing from air trapped in my neck. 😂 BTW, that Arnold impersonation @8:41 was great!
Dr Mike is low key mean when he is on a cut, I love it lol. Tell them Doc
Low key? 😂

I wonder what cues Dr. Mike’s nervous eye squint tick. Never noticed it until now. Great vid! 😊
Mike is the only fitness RUclipsr that not only gives great information, makes you die laughing while watching his videos. The dominatrix joked almost made me choke on my drink 😂
This was actually hilarious not a single dull moment with Dr. Mike 😂😂😂
One of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen!😂😂😂
I have severe hyper-hydrosis. My hands sweat so much so quickly, i have to wrap my hands or wear gloves to maintain ANY grip. Only my trx straps absorb the ridiculous amount of water that comes off my hands naturally. I have dealt with this my entire life and wish it on no one.
Love to all, and thank you for the content Dr. Mike!
My hands are super sweaty as well; It will be like I’ve ran them under the tap! I also have eczema and sensitive skin. The grippies on the barbells do nothing for my sensitive skin- but make it bleed.
Use chalk. Only thing I've found to help my hands when they get super sweaty
Hell yeah no excuses brother. Another dude said chalk, I just keep a gallon bag in my gym bag and re-apply, it really works man give it a shot.
True but not every gym allows chalk
I used to have the same problem. Ask your doctor about oxybutynin. It's been life-changing for me. It was originally designed to help people control their bladders but it can also be prescribed to help people who sweat extremely abnormal amounts like me.
I'm your new fan!!! Let's catch these gainzzzzz🎉
Gloves help prevent calluses for Pull Ups because my hand shifts position, especially when im trynna get to Muscle Ups
9:19 my lord this bit has me dying of laughter. Peak comedy😂
Whole video is funny but that dominatrix rant had me dying
I was looking for this comment 😂
I love this series so much! Can we also quantify Dr. Mike's annoyance by having him wear a heart rate monitor, and take his blood pressure before and after the critique?
I am here for this!
Polygraph, let's see it go absolutely bonkers! Also calories burned from sheer annoyance.
YES
The ad for the RP app coming in when Mike in peak rage mode sent me into hysterics.
You are the best man .Nice video
There are really well educated, smart, hardworking, honest people who barely scrape by doing what they love. And then there are people who make millions doing that exact same job, with none of those things. Good.
Never underestimate the role of kissing ass and family connections, as they really can cause people to fail upward.
Best episode yet. 11/10. You are almost as good of an entertainer as you are a coach
Dr. Mike, keep the videos coming, your hilarious especially when you go on a tangent critiquing someone exercise regiment. 💪
Dude. You are a riot!!! Im a NASM CPT and I roll my eyes during the classes I need to take to stay certified. I listen, nod, pass the test…
But I teach people old school. A simple warmup (toe touches, windmills, side lunges, body squats and V-ups). And then variations of squat, dead’s, bench, military, and pull ups (or lat pull downs for 95% of clients) depending on their goals and fitness level.
Nothing new under the sun. Just half baked marketing nonsense.
The same $#1t I learned for high school football
As someone who only seriously started weight training about 1 year ago, Dr. Mike’s videos have been an absolutely amazing resource to help cut through the BS in the fitness world. Without an actually knowledgeable resource like Dr. Mike, fitness/dieting seems so confusing. I still have a lot to learn about weight training, but I’ve discovered that the basics are really not that complicated. Eat enough protein. Don’t eat too many or too few calories. Use good technique. Stick to exercises that can be progressively overloaded. Rest and recover so you can improve next session. Pretty logical stuff tbh. But casual gym goers see stuff like these Hollywood training videos, and you just assume that an actor who makes tens of millions of dollars for looking attractive on TV would use an effective training program. Apparently not. It’s just “chicken, broccoli, rice” and a whole lot of PEDs off screen.
I'm right there with you. I started 8 months ago. A lot of this exercise science bs is great critical thinking practice. If you're training your front delts why would you want to be limited by an uneven base? Makes complete sense when you think about it. So happy he puts this stuff out there.
Well. I am sure this is a great expert on hypertrophy. For staying healthy and functional, I would more look into other sources. Like yoga, functional fitness, pranayama, swimming, kettlebells, you know. That woowoo bullshit that, if you widen your view more than angry expert, trains your balance, makes you move well, lets you use your strength in good posture in unpracticed scenarios. That "endless warmup" is just a great session for overall fitness. And breathing techniques, as science more and more confirms the "new wave woowoo" and old teachings, are some of the strongest means to controll our mind (see huberman labs for some research podcasts). Hypertrophy is just one stone in the wall of your health and happiness.
Have fun training!
@@NotaNazgul No one's bashing warming up. They're criticizing these ridiculous exercises and movement choices. The exercises he chose for a "warmup" were borderline humiliating/demeaning, they were so nonsensical. Also, if you're training an actor to be "fit" for a movie, you're training their physique. The studio doesn't care about their balance or posture or cardio. They want a jacked dude to show up super lean and starving for filming. That's bodybuilding/conditioning, which is what Dr. Mike is an expert in. None of this work is optimal for hypertrophy - hence the criticisms.
@@clamdigger1602I agree with the warm-up...a bit overkill and it shouldn't be demanding and taxing or ridiculous. Being an older guy with injuries and who only use kettlebells for fitness, I just move the joints to lube them. Things like shoulders rolls, prying squats, hip, wrist and ankle rotations ect. Usually about 5 mins from head to toes and I'm done. I like the concept of just doing a few reps of the exercise that you are doing too with light weight when i was doing barbell work. We have to be practical too and understand that we may be called upon to use all our strength without a warm up in a life situation.
As an older guy also, the single DL is an important exercise. It would be funny if you are able to DL 300lbs but you can't put your pants on standing up! I dunno why they need a band on not uses a kettlebell/dumbell though. Can't understand either why they do barbell press when they have access to a bench and a whole gym. I don't have access and I wouldn't even use the kettlebell for a floor press. I prefer a standing press with bands. You get a super stretch and you have to engage the whole body to keep you stable. I think that was a very poor workout and it's hard to see how Mark got his body from that....he must be genetically gifted.
@@clamdigger1602 I partially agree. But your assumptions about the requirements for stars are totally wrong. Many of them are educated in dance, ballet and such. They move graciously, with little effort, only balance can do that. If they had the stiff back of 50 years old who only focuses on hypertrophy, they would look and move clumsy. Not attractive.
I remember when Marky Marks "workout" vide came out. I literally couldn't get through the whole video. Thank you Dr. Mike for saying everything I literally could not get out of my brain. We Love You
“They are not just on all the f&$ time!” That was great!
This has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Amazing!
I’m laughing out loud throughout this entire thing - pure edutainment- thanks doc
This made my day, Sir
It’s videos like this, and your reaction to them, that actually make me fearful of engaging a trainer to help me with my beginner/intermediate form. As the weights start to get heavier, and being in my mid fifties, I’m really scared of injury. So I really want to a good trainer. This video scares the hell out of me. How do I find someone who actually knows what they’re talking about?!?!?
Thank you Mike for exposing the absolute BS that some of these ‘celebrity trainers’ prescribe.
I’m gonna go and warm up for my pre exercise 5 min treadmill walk. ✌🏼
I never gave it much thought these trainers would be bad. So much good info out today there is no reason for this.
Problem is that when he does these videos he exposes both them and himself.
@@eclipsewreckerHow is he exposing himself?
Those 5 minutes treadmill warm ups just hit differently after this video!!
@@lonelylama5222That part's in the full, uncensored version of the video. 😉
I've run the push/pull split as you described it here and I loved it, but almost no one makes content about how to construct those splits or even brings them up as a viable option. Would love to see a video where you train someone on a split like that, although I know it's probably not that common
I've even seen it called flexion/extension split, which is an interesting way to look at it I think
you could probably find more info on it as just high frequency full body, which it technically is depending on the definition of “full body”
Yeah I love a deadlift/hamstrings and shoulder day. The deadlift helps my shoulders feel more open and.stable, and I get to work again my back, quads and other pushing muscles a little bit.
Works great for me who can only do a maximum of 4 gym sessions every week. You hit the whole body twice and can get pretty good exercise variety as well. Fantastic.
push pull legs is the most common split, it used to be really popular around 2015 then all the fitness influencers started saying bullshit and people believed them because theyre jacked
I felt Dr Mike’s pain that I subscribed to the channel 🙏🏼 God bless you Dr. Mike ❤️🩹
As a physiotherapist from Germany, hearing from you that Upper/lower cross syndrome ist as much bullshit as this whole posture thing is, I fell in love with you. Seriously, it's so hard to fight against these myths while 95% of the whole pt-/physio industry does bring them back into the game. So thank you with your 1,1 million views creating a better world
Your comment regarding posture is actually GOLD.
Probably 99% of ppl I know think that bad posture is a thing, and I believed it too 3 minutes ago (well, lets say I just never questioned it). You destroyed everything in 2 sentences. I love it
Trouble is 'Bad posture' is so, so, SO ingrained in most peoples mentality that trying to add any nuance to it immediately gets you labelled as a quack.
anecdotally my posture has improved by strengthening my rear delts and upper back
I mean bad posture IS a thing. Dr Mike isn't saying it's not. He's saying people believing they have bad posture because they work out pecs too much or whatever is bullshit.
@@opabiniaregalis6197 Lordosis, Kyphosis, the famous forward head or "nerd posture", etc. They're all real. Pelvic tilt -posterior or anterior, rounded spine, an inability to maintain your lombar spine or cervicals upright because of a lack of mobility (often caused by years of a sedentaty lifestyle) or muscle atrophy in the posterior chain. Here's your usual suspects for a why. Different causes and different solutions for different postural problems. But they're all real for sure.
@@opabiniaregalis6197 I'd define as posture that makes you continuously get shorter as you arch more and more OR posture that's causing pain anywhere. Other than those two measurable issues it doesn't matter what you look like

So grateful for Dr. Mike's comments regarding posture. This was all new information for me, but I never understood the old explanations since I have a much more developed back but still horrible posture. And it always seemed like chefs, etc. would have that syndrome that everyone attributes to texting - but the many chefs I know (worked in restaurants forever) were always looking down and always had great posture (and very healthy egos 😆).
maybe chefs have good posture cuz if they dont their back starts to hurt so they pay attention to it? idk
@@pejv7903that and also the fact that kitchens are like a warzone, everyone has to stand tall and fight for their lives on the daily 😂

last time i was so exhausted by my second pre warm up, that i actually couldnt finish my forth post warm up!
Once my breath got stuck in my lungs, it felt wrong and I've never let it happen again.
These review videos are awesome for getting me going at my home gym in the morning. When Dr Mike is talking I’m instantly made nervous and start to exercise to deal with all the feelings.
Very interesting point about the posture
he's wrong on that one

You make even better arguments than I do when it comes to all this fad fitness crap. Now I can just share your videos instead of blowing my top. 😁👍🏽
Hello Dr Mike, any suggestions on how to make the muscles around the knee joints stronger to alleviate the pressure around the joints?
You mean make your tendons stronger? The muscles around the knee joint are just your quads, hamstrings, and calves (plus a few adductors and a few others)
I've learned a lot about exercise and nutrition from RP and Jeff nipard and have designed my own exercise and deity plan from what I've learn but today I learned something new. That with my basic knowledge of these things I've designed a better workout program the mark Wahlbergs fitness expert ...
As a side note, I've had bad posture since I was a kid, actively thinking of standing up straight till it becomes just how you stand is the only thing that ever worked no exercise ever made a difference. Thank you for acknowledging and saying it to the world Dr. Mike.
what's your deity plan? Krishna or Jesus?
@@gcg8187 lmao I'm trying to fuse them 🤣 note to self proof read....
I love the last shot where he's pushing the Torque Tank with a bunch of people on it... unlike a sled that relies on weight to generate friction, resistance on the Tank doesn't increase with the the load placed on it, it is controlled by magnetic resistance.

bro 9:30 got me rolling when bro said "my 380lb dominatrix" i had to subscribe just for that😭😭
Best episode of the series for me. Fantastic reactions, Dr. Mike
I work in a pt clinic and i have an undergrad in kinesiology and from what i know about upper crossed syndrome its just a collection of signs or symptoms. So in upper cross you can identify people with severe kyphosis of the thoracic spine along with a high degree of natural protraction and depression of the scapula and tight cervical spine extensors. You can see this in any elderly person with what we would conventionally call a hunchback. I think someone else mentioned in the comments already that he is probably mainly talking to people who generally have adequate posture and could do with just sitting up right more. But adaptive shortening and lengthening is definitely a thing and in part leads to problems likes upper cross syndrome. Would love if doctor mike made a follow up to this video explaining more about his views on posture and upper cross syndrome
Love your videos!
One thing I'd like to note is, if you have trouble catching your breath or filling your lungs all the way with air, it actually really does help to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
I'm not entirely sure why, but I've heard that it's due to the air being too dry when you breathe through your mouth, however, if it's filtered through your nose, you don't feel that issue.
This doesn't only help if you're out of breath, but also most other breathing related issues.
This was by far the best review video.
Your painful rage was super entertaining 😂
