I'm a 44 year old natural, and this natural content is something that I truly appreciate the most... right behind the exercise technique/ programming videos.
Ditto. I've tried to get my friends to follow this channel for years. Now some of them will try to give me tips from uncle Mike and I'm like, dude you only know if this because of me. They could've been more muscly by now if they'd only listened. But then one of my buddies won't do the maintenance and deloads and I want to slap the stupid out of him.
Thanks man, and just a reminder, pretty close to all of our advice is geared (no pun intended) to naturals. If it's advice for enhanced guys, we'll be explicit about that. - Dr. Mike
I can tell he’s not natural by 1 thing: He’s more ripped than me. The 1 rule of natural-ness is “If someone is more ripped, stronger, or bigger than me, they’re on copious amount of supraphysiological androgens.”
This is so true, when I was in my 20s my test levels naturally were through the roof, once I realized that diet was helpful I started packing on the muscle, not a day went by in the gym where someone didn’t ask me if I was on juice lol, funny thing I wasn’t even that shredded, just thick and strong with a slightly visible 6 pack, that’s when I realized most people use others steroid use as a crutch for why they don’t look as good
About 3:26 I say out loud "big chest" just as Jared says it👌🏼 Your coaching is working. I'm down 60 lbs and now on my fourth week of massing and haven't gained a pound. It's okay the RP diet app keeps upping my food. We'll nail it eventually. Just got asked if I'm doing a local show in May!?!? First time I got props from someone that didn't know I had to lose a bunch of fat to get here. I saw last year's winner. With the guidance of this channel I think I can take it this year.
@@Give_Me_Rent I guess any stupid old joke makes you excited 😂. Let me tell you about the guy with the frisky wife and the neighbor with the huge third leg.
My favorite things I've learned from this channel over the last couple years is A: deep stretch under tension B: milk the eccentric I love how they emphasize it every session and its been great for my gains. Question about the barbell row form- Look up with your head tilted back or neutral spine looking at the ground slightly in front of you? Does it matter? Whatever is comfortable? He does both in this video, but is one "more correct" for injury prevention/proper form?
Whatever is comfortable is probably the best answer. I don't think looking up on rows is an issue. It could actually help you keep your chest up and not completely round over
Honestly, this is one of the most motivating examples of a natty bodybuilder that I’ve ever seen. Marvin has clearly put years of hard work into his physique with incredible consistency, dedication and humility. The perfect video to see for the first week of a new mesocycle!! Thanks guys.
@@akbananachucker2441 "Do You Even Lift", slang mostly used by people with body dysmorphia induced from internet physiques with perfect 10 takes lightning and dubious natty status...
100% believe hes natural, had a same type of build in college(minus that back, damn) and was constantly being asked what i was on. After losing my daughter I fell off hard. Knowing hes 39 me being 35 this motivated the hell outta me. No excuses, I want to get back to that form of me.
100% natural physique. He’s lean and in between shows but this is a nice natural obtainable physique. Genetics will vary this but take note of what it looks like if you’re a young teenager and naive to who is and what it looks like. RP has zero reason to lie or jeopardize their integrity to being someone on that is a fake natty.
just wanna say soo wholesome when he said clean up first at 04:57 most people dont even think about putting back stuff even tho they arent even training as hard as him, also great fucking videos, really helping my future training career
This dude is SUPER shredded. Well done! Also, I love the tips that Jared gives. The more of that wisdom tips we get, the better. All these little chats should be made into shorts; the discussions are of such a high quality.
Jared needs to speak up and pronounce words completely 😂. There were a few things I couldn't make out even with caption. Otherwise it was interesting. That guys muscles were crazy sheded.
@@JAREDFEATHERRP share them on your RUclips channel. We've been waiting for a long time for a new video bro. And talk a little louder and a little clearer. Like in your older videos. Well some were low but some were good.
I *really* like that the coaching is done is a conversational tone and volume. No screaming, no hype, just respect for the athletes focus and coaching just when/where it's needed.
Great video. On the giant set, Is there any time you would be more likely to move up in weight rather than reps? Ex: you're moving from 50->55 reps next week. Once you hit a goal amount (let's say 70), do you move up the weight and drop back to 50?
I appreciate the emphasis on the technique and that lowering the weights but perfecting the movement while maintaining the intensity threshold is key to success. Especially when youre natural at such low bodyfat %. Huge kudos to you guys. Cant wait how to see how Marvin will look like when he loads up on carbs for stage day.
Gave it a like just from the intro! Watching the rest now! Edit: finished the video. Dr. Mike when are you launching your dance channel? I would like to learn some of those moves.
Natural body-building content is awesome! I really look forward to more of it. Thank you. He was so lovely and appreciative, and had the mentality I respect! Great guest!
Jesus, Marvin is diced to hell. How would somebody rationalize him as being non-natural, with how hard he works he would be another 30+ lbs of muscle heavier.
Hey RP, great video Quick question: where should we pause our reps? I’ve heard some people say pause at contraction (eg: back of a row), others say pause at peak tension (front of the row when arms are fully stretched What’s ur thoughts ?
So first of all, it barely matters. For a bit of extra safety, pausing big heavy compounds at the stretch can work, but otherwise it's both "whatever feels best" and "do both for a few months at a time for variation." - Dr. Mike
Dude's just built different. Strong insertions strong muscle bellies. He looks impressive yet not unnatural, yet still genetically gifted to be able to maintain that fullness at his extreme leanness. This is the type of genetic natural freak that can compete with enhanced lifters
@@gregoriomiller8241 there's plenty of people that are on juice that look like shit, so yes he can beat people who are enhanced, guys act like this is an everyday physique hahahaha people are delusional from seeing so many enhanced athletes, guys take gear just to look like this guy
Do you think PEDs prematurely age someone? I can't imagine a scenario where you could ever actually test this, but in the same idea that the more horsepower you put in and use in a car, or the more powder you put into a cartridge wears out all parts quicker than of you didn't, do they have the same effect on the human body?
Quick question, is there a optimal way to perform the concentric part of the rep ? I know that for hypertrophic purposes, controlled and slowed eccentric so ideal but how about the concentric ? is it better to go fast and explosive or slow ?

thank you very much, only one question what is the difference between seated cable row and chest supported row
Lower back has to work less in the chest supported row.
Yes sir! 💪💪
his defo a natural for any one that has trained properly before will know that. his walking around hungry though to keep lean like this.
Marvin looks fantastic and I have no doubt he's natural. This is what serious long term consistency can do. Truly inspiring 💯

In general fast, so long as technique isn't compromised. Look up "greg nuckols speed kills" if you want more reading

Like 170-180 I think. - Dr. Mike
He is natural and have no idea why anyone would believe otherwise. He's put in all the training and diet work for years.
Crazy how being soo lean can make you appear soo big. I have more muscle than him but he makes me look small.
That's because you haven't trained with Mike O'Hearn yet. Bigger and leaner than this dude. Lifetime natty too.
I'm almost 49 and I'm about that lean year round with almost the same muscle mass. Maybe i should start competing again!? 😅
Mike’s pretty handsy, it makes me uncomfortable to watch sometimes tbh Is this just pretty normal or are guests ever put off by it?
If he ISN'T natural, then I'm fooled. Ive seen guys in his condition at the drug tested shows Ive done before.
Great stuff, Marvin! 💪🏼
