Chest & Back with Mike Israetel. 

''we're not here to do reps, we're here to do one rep at a time very well'' What a queue/quote

I fw this kinda style on content instead of the standard podcast yk

This is 100% how every trip to the gym back in college looked like, same conversations, same jokes, same brainrot and same game talks. Absolute beauty.

Three jacked dudes discussing AI alignment and Nick Bostrom's books between pull-up sets is such a vibe

There's something extremely charming about humorous and intelligent conversations being abruptly interrupted by sets of lifting.

Shout out to Dr. Mike and his biological son, Jared

You know the thing about this video that fucked with me most is how deeply valuable close male relationships are with men who are intellectually challenging and encouraging but also unapologetically blunt and not afraid to open up about how their experiences have formed them. I need that in my life.

Great editing from set to convo in between each workout. Big fan of this style

This is the pinnacle of fitness yt. I am going to train Chest & Back now.

"were not here to do reps, we are here to do one rep at a time, very well" elder millennial wisdom

May the gains ever be in your favor

This is a winning format here, I could watch this stuff for days

I really love this format. Just boys hanging out, making gains and having fun, yet intellectual conversations.

I love how they go straight from saying people should warm up before doing pull ups to a hot woman asking if they can do a muscle up and then Chris yeats it.

Girl in the white and green is an absolute unit. Shout out to her!

This style of Mike and Jared is brilliant. Just bro's chilling, chatting, lifting.

This is absolutely amazing! I usually don’t comment on anything, but I have to say, keep it up, brother. The combination of lifting advice and Brolosophy is fantastic.

I love how positive and friendly this community is. Hopefully anyone reading this is doing well🙏🙏

We need more of this Chris. Obviously love Mike and Jared, but I mean the hanging out real talk, side of male relationships just like the Cbum video. Great stuff, always appreciate your dedication to your content.

Sam Sulek style videos are what the people want. No hollywood try hard editing and music. Just pure lifting and some grand conversation 🤝

This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time. I love the format with training and tips then it cuts to a random but very enjoyable chat. Please more with other great people

Absolutely love this style of video, lifting while having normal conversations - learning from the conversations

I kinda love this format - fun but vaguely intellectual conversations about tech and futurism, interwoven with lifting and technique discussions.

I love these type of videos. It was a good break from continuous podcasts. Almost raw video with no unnecessary bgm and visual effects. Just raw talk between jacked guys about exercise. Hats off to Chris and his editing team for this.

Love the audio, so clear with minimal ambient sounds. So good.

this video is such a breath of fresh air.. There is no music in the background, there are no hard cuts, you let pauses play to let me think about what I'm listening and seeing.. super good

Good to see Chris out of his element, conversationally. What a dork. I love him him even more now

Super real, super low key and super legit. loved every second of this!

What a great experience training with Dr Mike and Jared Feather 🐐

I love love love this video! Watching you guys discuss topics literally on the fly whilst working out is amazing! Seeing the social dynamic and learning better technique for the gym at the same time. You’ve struck serious gold here

Chris - an open mind. Mike - an open, *critical* mind. Thoroughly enjoyed the impromptu and casual nature of these side discussions. Mike’s willingness to politely disagree and defend his position is quite refreshing.

SUCH a sick video - love the colab & conversation from y’all but in the gym, glad the son got to join as well

I hope that becomes a small series! I love the combo of lifting heavy and talking about deep topics between reps. Also learned a few things for my next workout. Great vid!

Loved this! Seeing you and the RP guys jam is some of my favorite content. More like this por favor 🙏

I freaking love the instruction tips and knowledge Mike is laying down while you're performing reps. And the conversation between sets are so great...job well done.

This content was absolutely fantastic. You two get on great, and was good to see the more humourous side of you. Cheers.

Mike gave Chris a huge compliment about how Chris should get a chance to be interviewed himself. All the way at the end of video

This video was fantastic, and Mike is correct, an interview of Chris is what we need.

Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys

The conversation on AI was so fascinating - loved hearing Dr Mike’s perspective

Can't wait for that interview

Love this kind of content. Y'all mesh well together!

More episodes like this!!! This was awesome!! Deep thinking and moving weights

Great video! I would certainly watch more of those! All the best!

This is the future of content! I’ve consumed tonnes of your stuff this and hormozi in the gym are my favs!

Thank you guys for existing and sharing your experiences 👍

Deep chat. I love to hear the intellectual conversations alongside the workouts, it's a winning combination. Why keep them separate.

I have to say at first I didn’t know what to think about Mike but I’m forming a strong opinion he’s a great guy and funnier than I previously thought. I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog and would definitely be here for more like this. I watched the episode of you guys and loved it! Here for all of it!

this type of video where it's casual podcast type conversation with training is awesome

Awesome, wholesome content. The crossover we all love but didn't deserve.

I actually love this style of training videos

This was a great change of pace! More please!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="975">16:15</a> Hell yeah. I've had great sleep only once in my life for like 3 months or so...only time I fell asleep within minutes, slept through and woke up bursting with energy. That was absolutely amazing. Happened 2-3 days after I upped my egg intake from ~3 eggs to 12-15 eggs per day. Sadly had food poisoning, devloped an intolerance and after working on my gut, fixing the intolerance and trying again, I couldn't replicate it. Tried a LOT of stuff to improve my sleep but nothing has a significant effect.

Loved this Chris

The thing I like about Chris is, if you couldn't see his followers number you wouldn't think he was a big deal. He genuinely just seems like one of your mates

This content is awesome. I don't watch any training content anymore (been in the fitness industry for over 8 years so it wears thin) but this style of training, tips and deep interesting chats seems like a novel idea and I'm here for it.

This format is awesome

This is great stuff! Literally just a day at the gym with the bros.

Loved this. More long form stuff with Mike for the win!

This is so dope hope it becomes a series

i love this concept/style. More pls

Do love this style of content. Pairs really well on the back of the podcasts

Please more of this. Gym content and philosophy is some of my favorite shit

I dont understand why I love this type of content so much

Love this sort of video, gym clips and very interesting/insightful conversations perfectly interspersed

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1132">18:52</a> i thought i was seeing flying cars in the background for a second

I absolutely love seeing you 3 together

These 2 are the new team the internet needed

WOW! Amazing video. You discussed super cool concepts in between sets. Thank you🔥

This was great and awesome conversation as well.

This was the video I didn't know I needed.

I enjoy putting this on my tv while I workout in my garage gym.

Would 100% watch more videos like these!! Getting educated first-hand on lift techniques + getting real-time demos and feedback on those techniques + intellectual conversation + humor is a video format I never knew I needed. And I’m a woman so this absolutely appeals to our demographic too, in case you were wondering! Further heeding to Dr. Mike’s cinematographic suggestions doesn’t hurt in that department either

Loving the vlogs Keep em coming

What Mike says at the 30 minute mark is why I love his stuff so much.

This is the most intellectually engaging workout sessions I've ever seen.

I love this style of video, just hitting the gym and talking, absolutely do more of this

this is really great stuff, would love to see more videos like this

I havent even finished this video....and its one of my favourite videos on RU-vid

Love it Chris! Keep doing what you’re doing.

I'm glad Dr. Mike is a professor of sports science and not philosophy lol

This is awesome Chris! More of this please

This is one of the best fitness videos ever

"I appreciate you focusing on the training not pk the talk " Banger

Love this format

This was a really great non-formal podcast format, would love to see either of you guys do this more

Not even halfway through, I already need to rewatch this!

Love your content but especially these. In the world today where it's hard to find a friend much less a gym partner as well, it's really motivating to see ya'll get along and coach each other in the mean time.

What a great session, briefing on philosophical topics was bomb

This is a great format!

Amazing episode, I need 100 more of them ASAP

Fantastic video, love you’re doing this stuff. It’s cool to see you guys in a normal setting. Takes away the mystique of personality the normal podcast can create, and we just get to know you better. Also, freakin sweet muscle-up.

Those pull-ups were freakin SPECTACULAR!!🙌🏻😤💪🏼

Great change in the video format. I enjoyed it.

More of this please and thank you

Amazing, I need an alert specifically for when this style of video gets released!

i enjoyed the conversation!!!

Can you list all the books, authors, and speakers that were mentioned in the conversations? Stellar bro convos during lift sessions. I love for this

i think mike’s idea about superintelligence being deeply non-anthropic in desire risks being silly in retrospect. for one we don’t know enough about consciousness to think that we have a good idea of exactly how human desire is formed, much less what type of emergent phenomena would come out of the type of cognition machine that superintelligence would be and if it would even be recognizable as desire to us. for two we will have built it, and the logic systems that we will have relied on to build it with are THEMSELVES emergent. these are heuristic systems that are just super stable at the levels that the human brain needs them to be to play around with concepts like blocks in its mind, so they will be systems of logic geared around the fundamental drive to survive right, like concepts of oneness and otherness that gets you units of a thing that then you do operations on - they’re descriptions of materiality, but abstracted at the level of the human brain (because the brain is the one doing the abstracting); of course that may end up not mattering at all, but we should be clear about the fact that we don’t actually know yet if it’s something that’s likely to matter. i think mike’s wayyy too confident about it.

This was great. love it
