      Dr. Mike. Was it you that mentioned that on gear sloppy workouts still yield results? I know someone mentioned it. After having seen these videos from you...I believe you have pointed out the great obvious x on the "How actors get into shape" map. I mean it's no secret but when not a single actor actually does any exercises correct.... 🙃

      @RenaissancePeriodization  7 месяцев назад +25

      Definitely sounds like me. I will say, most actors probably don't use gear. And nor do they look super impressive in person even in their best shapes. Just 12 weeks of good diet and hard (meh quality) training can do a lot for most people! - Dr. Mike @@peartree8338

    A point you mentioned that really rang true for me was the one about getting back in shape after having already been fit previously. I’m currently 14 weeks back into strength building after a 4-year hiatus from the gym. I was an aspiring powerlifter with a training total of about 1400 lbs. Life happened and I fell into a horrible depression. I was so scared of returning to the gym and having to start from square one to regain all the strength that had previously taken me YEARS to attain. After getting some encouragement from my 16yo son who has gotten into fitness himself, I brushed off the cobwebs and got right back into lifting. I’m not yet where I once was, but my strength as well as my muscles have been returning remarkably fast, and I feel as good as ever!
    Dr. Israetel might I suggest doing a video on the topic of returning to strength training/bodybuilding after a period of inactivity? I feel like it might encourage others who find themselves in a similar situation that I was in.
    Anyway, I love your channel. I appreciate your academic approach to the subject, as well as your humor. I’ve learned a great deal from you since I started watching.

      I haven’t watched Dr. Mike’s video yet, but you can look at muscle cell nucleation if you’re interested in the why based on biology. Long and short is that muscle cells add nuclei and mitochondria the more they are worked (efficiency because the cells themselves are larger). If you stop working the muscle, the nuclei and mitochondria stay even if the cell shrinks. I’m guessing it’s adaptive because if they had to work that hard once, they might need to again at some point in the future. Once the muscle is worked again after detrain, those extra nuclei and mitochondria “remember” and the cell is already primed, so 💥.

    I'm glad to hear that one-arm dumbbell rows are good, since I discovered that for my self. you can use a _lot_ of weight and they do a fantastic job of targeting your lats. they also feel a lot more stable and flexible than two-arm barbell rows (which feel like they make your shoulders twist in weird ways) and there's no way I could do two-arm rows with twice the weight of the one-arm row. I also love dumbbell butterflies since it's otherwise pretty difficult to target your pecs (you'd need a butterfly machine or something which you can't really have at home).

    I did a year long cut when I turned 50. Ate super structured 6 out of 7 days. Ate what I wanted on Saturday. Didn’t go to crazy on these days but would just enjoy the day and once a month would have a blowout meal with friends on a Saturday. I lost over 40lbs over the year. When I turned to maintenance I just relaxed on Sunday and ate normally but still am super structured Monday to Friday and I have maintained a proper weight for 6 years. Sometimes cheat meals are just fine. In my opinion.

      I think it’s the only way to do it long term because otherwise you might really fall off the wagon. Willpower only goes so far and relaxing your need for it every now and again, allows you to maintain it.

      Probably fine if no tendency toward insane cravings. I can easily eat 3500 cal in 10 minutes if I'm not really, really paying attention 24/7, and I can do it day in and day out for years.

    A comment on the bench press. It’s never worked for me. I never feel like my pec has been worked afterward. I replaced it with DB Press instead and took your advice with pausing at the bottom and have had explosive chest growth and it feels worked everytime. Especially cause of the pause to get that nice stretch.

    • @kurtwpg
      @kurtwpg 7 месяцев назад

      I get great stimulation from bench so I don't need to do this, but:
      Have you considered 2-3 sets of flys before bench press to "pre-exhaust"? Could just be your pecs are too strong and don't get stimulated at a weight that makes your triceps or delts fail.

    Saving my gym life.
    Started working out when i got to highschool(15)
    Now im 27
    Havent worked out like I used to for about 6-7 years.
    I decided to take 2 months off and within 1 month, ive got my body back, muscle locking is leaving and my mobility & strength is going very well within just 7 weeks of training! Thank you Dr Mike! Youre a blast to watch. Im 6ft 1, I was 250lbs about 1.5-2 years ago. Im currently sitting around 190.

    I was 336lbs at my biggest, now I'm 182lbs, and am trying to build some bulk.
    That technique to strengthen the back and shoulders, the dumbbell raise bow? Is gonna help me loads.
    My back is probably the weakest part of me, and gives me issues across a range of activities.
    Can't wait to see some progress.
    Thanks Mike!!!!

  • @gigantisaurusrex6647

    I could be wrong, but I think the pull ups and push ups shown in the videos were from when Chris was completing The Murph challenge, where you have to complete like 100 of each in a day or something, and not necessarily during his "training". Again, I could be mistaken, but it might give some context to the range of motion on them.

Missing the energy. Gotta get back to it.

    'Eating junk is pleasant and we have to recognize that fact.'
    Everytime someone's answer to junk is something like 'It doesn't even taste good really' you have to immediately check out of that person.

    Dr Mike, above all else physical fitness is the most important thing that's hammered into you in the military. Athletic physical fitness, it's the only thing you might end up doing 2-3 hours every day M-F, and if you suck they will make you do it Saturday as well. I was 5'8 195 and could do 104 pushups in 2 min, run a 13 min 2 mile, and 70 sit ups in 2 min, I scored normally 285 or higher out of 300 possible points. (sit ups always kicked my butt). 2nd most important thing that rivaled fitness was ... How good your boots and clothes looked. Yes, that is what will get you in trouble far more often than your fitness, well that and people who are drunk all the time.

    So true about cheating during fat loss phase. Can knock you back a week, certainly experienced this personally. Even more damaging is the potential to lose confidence in the process and continuing to cheat. Much smarter to hold the line and focus on your goals. Feeling hungry, have some unadulterated isolate with water.

      Have found isolate kills any evening appetite as the mix with water fills your stomach. Has been studies where meals are given to two groups. Same food one in solid form, one in soup form and the group with soup lost more weight and were satiated longer.
