Sorry to hit you with the hard truth!
Let me know what you guys wanna see in upcoming vlogs??
mike had 700 deadlift, 600 squat, 400 bench - no way thats average. it is basically the strongest guy in any local yocal gym. thanks for the reality, i'm now ok with understanding a small PR of 2-5 lbs. is great progress. consistency and patience. good stuff. 👍
Ya I’m above average I said for sure but Iv also done it 15years which most won’t dedicate too
@@SilentMike i said u r the strongest Neanderthal 5.5
@@SilentMike I think you're above average in both consistency and genetics + genetics probably play a huge role in adhering to training too (do we even have free will?)
Agreed! I’m 5 foot 8 and never had a chance of even touching the rim
Elite strength for a natural
all facts no cap, respect you dude
So true brother. Champions aren’t made….they’re born.
I’ve been faced that hard truth. The hardest thing to get over is realizing you’re only competing against yourself unless your competing on the platform also lol
Yeah it’s the truth Mike we can all strive to be advanced in my belief but elite level is different storyline with ped or not
Truth
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome video! 💪🏻
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Does barbell brigade still sell that hoodie. ? Only see it on rogue now. ? Hows it fit. Hate skinny fit hoodies. It thin. And yes mike ur deff above average lifter. Even genetics. Not many people hit ur numbers. Keep up the videos. !
a 19 year old kid at my gym who looks like a normal kid (5'10" 175) and who you wouldn't know even lifts by looking at him, was just squatting 500 for reps the other day.. and here i am having trained for 2 decades, traps and shoulders busting through my shirt, all juiced up, and i can't do anything even close to this kid.. wtf, genetics
Are you sure?
Or hear me out Mike.....Beans, Rice, Jesus Christ and Byyyyron!!!!
🤣😂🤣😂
Hey Mike any advice for someone who lifts that has narcolepsy? Feel like I don’t get stronger and all I really do is maintain strength (bulking or cutting I’m just as strong and it all comes down to if I had a decent nights rest or not)
Well CT fletcher would say otherwise
What it REALLY takes to get STRONG!!!
Post a video up on the internet and pretend to be natural in order to boost ego*
Whose ego?
Mike put on a shirt…oh my bad.
But The Rock told me it’s about drive and power…. :/
He forgot the tren in those lyrics 😞
700 pounds is alot over average deadlift. Id say average is 550 for a person who has trained 8-10 yrs
Mike you should have a million + subscribers. Follow you on IG & listen to your podcast. All solid!
Kindest words man, thank you 🙏🏻
Strongest Neanderthal 5.5
What I like most with percentages is it takes the ego out of the equation. Tonight I deadlift with 80% of my PR and do 5 triples, knowing it will be a very solid stimulus, so solid in fact that I usually stick around 70% for deadlifting. 70% of 550 is 385, and when it's done for 5 sets of 5, that's a hard training session that I absolutely love to do!
I don't care about what everybody else is lifting; I don't care about how many men my age can do these numbers without drugs; I love training at home and this is what I do!
One thing that does make me smile --- Back in the 1940's there was a gym in Philly that offered free membership to any lifter able to strict press 200 lbs overhead or more! Now that's a nice incentive!
Happy lifting, Mike!
Thank you Mike. My lifting has gone to the crapper past 6-12 months and this video is a good wake up call and motivating for a guy like me with little athleticism
You never know until we put in the work and consistency. Let’s get it baby
why did you transitioned over to conventional? I had been a long time follower and as far as I remember you always do sumo, I actually started transitioning to sumo cause of your videos lol
Iv always pulled both, just in a conv block, not that serious a decision for me
If you are average I'm cat turd
Definitely no steroids 😉
Depressingly true!
Starting in October 2020, for about 9 months I was just slinging around a 100 lb barbell in mom’s basement. I was very consistent though. When I started back I had only lost around 15-20%. This fall I hit a lifetime squat and deadlift PR at age 52.
Great points! I'm 40 and started lifting at 12. PRs are 650 deadlift (600 without straps), 550 squat, and 465 bench (445 paused in competition) at 195 bodyweight. My bench is somewhere over 465 now (peaking then testing 1RM soon). I had to work MUCH harder at deadlifts and squats vs bench press and there were times where progress stopped completely until I changed my training protocols and even then might have only added 5 pounds over several months. The trick is looking at progress over longer periods of time and not getting disappointed when we can't hit a PR every few weeks like Larry Wheels or Haack. It's fun to compare our numbers with other lifters but this can lead to injury if we get too aggressive with volume/frequency/intensity/etc. The top level competitors are able to train in ways most can't due to joint structure and integrity along with leverages.
Hey is there any reason why my bench press is easier to progress in than my bench. My bench is 425 and squat is 600 but bench is a lot easier to progress in. My squats are so hard to progress in. Thanks
Just what I needed to hear to stay consistent. I know I’m not genetically superior by any means. But I’m determined to pull 500. I was so close last week. Needed about an inch or two to lock out.
500 let’s getttt ittt give it another 4/6 week program
@@SilentMike would the infinite off season from kizen work? I ran the peak powerlifting program back to back.
I have been around weightlifting since 1961 and owned a gym for years. Great genetics are difficult to beat for sure. I didn't have good genetics and worked my butt off and won lots of trophies but still couldn't beat the guys with great genetics.
And that’s in a sport where the talent pool is small! Imagine Barry Sanders chose weightlifting lol it’s OVER
It's really shitty having worked hard for years and having obviously more gifted people catch my PRs when I'm teaching them how to lift and then seeing them get lazy and not take advantage of something they've been blessed with that I would kill for.
Built like brick shithouses but don't care about the sport.
Consistency does not you you those numbers. Progressive overload and adding weight to the bar does with time and genetics.
epic genetics and peds.. you know it man,, why kid around the bush and say the truth..
Thanks for putting this out Mike. Hopefully it will help manage people's expectations and those still in denial. It's a tough pill to swallow but you just gotta accept it. Most serious/consistent/hard-working lifters will realize this in their own time.
The fact is that you’ll never know in which side of the spectrum you belong without the hard work. You could be a potential freak who half-asses everything and get some ‘decent’ result, or you could be an ‘average’ guy that stays consistent with his diet, training, technique review, sleep, stress levels for years and achieve greatness. Talent only beats hard work when the talented one is also putting the work.
I would say with some work lol you just need exposure and stimulus. If you’re a freak and half ass, I’ve seen it in powerlifting, bodybuilding and basketball- you will succeed over average with hard work
@@SilentMike I agree with you Mike! I told my track coach I wanted to do high jump since I thought I could beat the dude who had been doing it since middle school... I beat him the 3rd day of trying lol.. and he was our starter.
What separates the good from most people is just time and effort.
Not optimization, not genetics, not talent, just time and effort.
Sure from people that do nothing ya hard work obviously wins
Hard truths... im strong in bench and squats.. but my long torso and short legs kill my deadlift no matter how hard I train.
do u pull conventional by chance? maybe sumo could work better with your leverages
Big ramy is natty
A pizza a day. Pizza is stereoid
I lovveee pizzaaa
Sound advice. Average genetics myself but still love lifting, that has made me the most gains over the years, recently retired and doing some lifting everyday, go for moderation but ambition gets the upper hand sometimes. Being creative also helps
You appreciate the hard truths of people like John Haack & Larry Wheels who are outliers genetically, but the one thing they have that gets them ahead is the consistency. One might have good genetics, but they will never get the most of them without putting in some honest & consistent work
Beautiful 605 at the end
What about people that made the nba at 5”3? Not exactly born to do that…
1 person lol yes he is an outlier in the 90s.
what do you mean by tendons being genetic? I think everyone has had knee, low back, shoulder, elbow pain from lifting at some point if they push themselves. Do genetics play a role in preventing these tendon and ligament issue that arise from overuse? I always believe everyone will experience it at some point regardless of genetics.
The elasticity and strength of tendon can help athletes be faster or stronger… but yes some are more prone to injury/pain also
some people might be STRONG enough to lift 600,700,800lbs but their connective tissue is not genetically capable of handling those weights the same as their muscles... most elite PL'ers stop due to injury. Therefore, the better someones genetics are so that they can withstand heavy loads, the more likely they will be stronger in the long run
Selling yourself short buddy. Hop on a little bit of test and you have a 10x total in less than 2 years. That's elite. Your 1700lbs total at whatever weight is elite. It's not IPF elite. But it's hard to be in that .01 percentile.
That’s not really my goal haha but thanks
Sweet outro music I was gettin out there
Talent definitely beats hard work if the talented people are at least semi dedicated.
I have a friend who freakin deadlifts 405lbs after two weeks of lifting
It’s scaled obviously talent vs the effort needed to succeed
But what's his day job?
Yooo that music at the end
The Big C. Almost anything in life boils down to consistency. 👍👍
So sad but so truuee
That being said, people usually get no where near their own genetic limit and that’s what we should be striving for.
I don’t disagree
I guess my deadlifts werent good enough :/
Damnnn talk to Seabass 🤷🏻♂️
Lol let em know Mike!
I'm genetically gifted to be a really awesome endurance based athlete but I hate endurance based stuff.
Hahah ain’t that a bitch
Mike, what was your max bench when you started at age 18? What is it now?
Like 275lbs and most Iv hit now is 405lbs
True in part, but aren't we exceeding "genetics" 1. Just by working out and growing, 2. By taking supplements and ped's? I mean i started off skinny now im buff. Would have stayed normal like everyone in my biological family if i never started. Now im a BEAST!! Lol. lets get it guys!!💪
This is nice
Mindset, consistency, drive.
The truth is the truth! Thanks for the vids Mike. Looking back do you think your skill set would have been more suited for a sport other than basketball?
Haha ya 100% made for any other sport but basketball 🤣 football soccer or baseball probably had a better chance, although I took my basketball career to a fairly high level
Good shit! Hope you’re 2022 is both mentally and physically dope af
🙏🏻 same to you friend, thank you
You need to have a huge drive it seems. And a very open schedule. As a student going to college, and a full time worker there's like no time to get a proper workout in. I'd be dead ass exhausted if I threw a proper workout into my mentally loaded schedule. There's gotta be a period in this where you have to accept those sacrifices...but never forget. Once you lose the pleasure of getting your hands on a barbell I'd say here's a new chapter towards cardio or some ish lol
You can def get strong on a shorter schedule just 1-3 movements a day less rest periods. Not optimal and difficult but it can be done
Watching from philippines mike, i like ur videos. Keep uploading, still learning yo stuff
Appreciate you!
Happy new year and thanks for good content
Copenhagen supports
Thank you! Happy NY
Happy holidays, stronger by the day 💪
Hard work only beats talent if the less talented is close in relation to the more talented.
Second
3rd
I can deadlift heavy weight without a belt but over 225 squats and I need to have the belt, otherwise I'm very weak.
What does this mean??
You’re probably just used to the belt. I’m the same way to an extent.
Maybe lower your frequency! Like, e.g. if you do a 5x5 245 squat w/ belt, try 3x5 without. Also, focus on bracing your core through breathing.
I thought I had a similar case. Until I rushed through a session since I had little time to spare. Just realized I deadlifted without my belt. Now, I only do so working with four plates.
@@lizzybennet5726 Lol, I just realized by your first tip, that I've been doing this on the deadlift by not using my versa gripps up to a certain weight.
Thanks!
@@MrSham3less Don't mention it!
I feel like your putting people down genetics isn't everything it takes some people longer than others but we can all get strong
100% we can all lift and get stronger, never said otherwise
