Exercise Scientist Critiques Eric Janicki's MUST WATCH Training Techniques 

It was an absolute honor being featured 🙇‍♂️ That being said, I will be placing a restraining order on you effective immediately 💋

Can I train my scalp muscles to look like yours

This guy is an absolute MONSTER holy shit. And Erik is pretty big too

That leg press technique actually left my mouth agape. If your leg press ROM is limited by your legs running into your fucking shoulders, you know you're going DEEP.

It’s nice to see someone training effectively rather than putting in a show for social media. Genuinely inspiring.

I’ve actually spoken to Eric, and he takes to you for a lot of information and guidance. When I asked him for help, he directed me to you. I hope this comment gets pinned because people won’t know otherwise really, and it’s pretty interesting. He’s a lovely guy too just to add - great dude you know

That was a perfect transition to the app. Well done

Sometimes I'm listening while I lift and I like to pretend Dr Mike is giving me the validation i never got from the father who was never there. Thank you Dr Mike for all that you do for this community

I figured you’d appreciate this bloke! His obsession with the deep eccentric stretch is something to behold 🙌

When he starts doing dips and Dr. Mike says “Holy crap”….. shits gettin real 😮

what a genius transition there 7:38

That cut to the RP app was slick

Eric has changed my style of training and I can tell I am so much more mobile and less sore from the gym. I can also see my muscles growing. I appreciate him for sharing and for Dr. Mike featuring it.

Don't sleep on those deficit pushups, I did them a few weeks back out of necessity because I was traveling and the hotel gym only had 50's, but SSSSSHHHHHEEEEESSSSHHHHH did those wreck my chest, the pump was insane as well. Definitely an underrated tool.

5:30 This is an important distinction when following advice from an advanced bodybuilder and a normie -- don't just follow the advanced guy because he's on the elite level which requires different methods. Newbies don't need to pre-fatigue themselves.

9:48 😂😂😂😂 I didn’t expect the Ice-T cut 😂😂😂

It's so rare that we see one of these videos where the guy knows what he's talking about that I almost didn't know what to do with this

We NEED an Eric and Dr Mike workout collab.

Would love to hear your perspective on the knees over toes guy and the exercises his channel promotes!

Eric as actually 6'1", which is, for bodybuilding, a huge frame to fill out.

Oh my GOD S+ for this guy. I’ve never seen a better training session in my life

This was by far the best critique on a video I've seen you do yet. I highly enjoy your videos.

My favorite video thus far. Great stuff Professor Mike! Thank you for your insight.

Glad you did this vid Dr Mike. I like how Eric Janicki trains and his training looks much like what you preach! 👏🏽💪🏽 Solid critiques.

That app transition.. damn so good

I’ve been waiting over a year for this! Get this guy on the channel!!

His lifting form is so satisfying, someone who finally stretches and pushes hard out of that depth

This feature & response is golden!! It'd be a blast to see you both in a video trading tips & jokes.

Id love to see yall do something on Nick Bare. He is a bodybuilder and a marathon runner, which is a really interesting combination of two opposing sports.

The transition into the Hypertrophy App advert was masterful 😯 *scrolls to see previous comments* Glad to see others appreciated S-Tier video and sound editing 👍

Nice positive critique Dr Mike - loving your videos mate

Just found you recently fantastic videos, liked and subscribed. I’ve been lifting for 35 years and I’m leaning quite a bit from your videos thank you.

Never thought of the pre-fatiguing strategy. That's an awesome insight that I will be trying.

7:35 what an ad spot next level perfectly placed

I've been doing those dumbell pushups for quite some time...love them.

That was inspiring. Beautiful. And he seems so likeable as well!

The last time I came this early she left me 😢😢😢

Straightest video I think you've ever made

love that Matisse Leaf on the wall!

At 55, I apply these principles as to prevent any injuries and yes, leaning down into it can apply to a few exercises and definitely the way to go. I actually enjoy how it feels to the muscle.

Whoever is your new editor/editing style is hitting it! Great video!

Mike in a previous video this guy said stretch/eccentric (time) isn't important, but here you are giving props for such technique.

I love his channel, so glad critiqued him!

Amazing athlete. Didn't know, thanks for sharing his workout.

you 2 are my favorite. we need a collaboration video ASAP

You should review Jordan Peters' training next.

that app ad setup, amazing

Eric is an awesome bodybuilder, he does the right things and it pays dividends. A lot of pros these days have underdeveloped pecs so it's nice to see people do it properly.

When I see the doctor, I click.

Dr. Mike, you said, "god bless" so many times in thus video that I feel like I may be able to skip church until Christmas and not risk my immortal soul. Thank you and god bless.

Absolutely god-tier self plug. A++

Love Eric, and Dr Mike!

I imagine getting through narrow doorways is a struggle

F to pay respects

F .... HERE YOU GO Mate

Great Stuff!

We need a face reveal for Scott the video guy at this point

If you want WAY MORE exercise scientist, become a channel member! Super long, totally uncensored episodes in our members area, and hundreds of other exclusive videos ➡ru-vid.com/show-UCfQgsKhHjSyRLOp9mnffqVgjoin

I am nearly fourty and have been following the sage teachings from Dr. Mike for about a year now. This has opened up such terrifying vistas of weight lifting reality, and my frightful position therein, that I might go mad from revelation.

That was insane. Would love to see a collab between you two!

Gay energy in this video was out of this world

F

I love Erics technique. I watch him all the time

The new set looks great !!

Here’s the key, PEDs and train and eat and sleep . You will grow

Eric is an absolute freak! And a super chill dude

I’ve been milkin my stretches too! Hell yeah! Thanks Doctor Mike….💪🏼

what the freak, big respect for going so hard with those deep stretches. Damn.

Really fun to have a positive review every now and then

Monster. And wow, that leg press technique.

Very cool to see a good exemple! I absolutely love this series but many episodes almost end up being a roast (wich is extremely funny), this one was awesome! This guy is an absolute menace!

Eric is the man. One of my favorite bodybuilders out there 🔥🔥👍🏾

Eric is one of the coolest guys out there. Amazing texchniques also.

Loved this

As always fact based training.........thank you ... Brian ......over in Scotland.

That App plug was very good.

Eric is one of my top 3 Yt fitness channels

this guy is on next level HOLY COWW

That edit into the RP Hypertrophy App ad was smooth as fuck. Excellent timing.

I'm not a bodybuilder but great channel and video. This guy really knows his stuff.

Thanks for introducing and reviewing a guy who does the movements correctly!

Those dips were insane!!!!

I’ve always finished chest with dips I never really thought about moving before isolating work

Niiice. Good stuff!

Wow Eric is an absolute beast. And seems like a really cool guy. I am thinking of getting a functional trainer and just putting my bench in front of it permanently for my home gym. I kinda hate messing with the bar and plates and stuff. Using cables for everything seems like a good way to go.

"V for Vendetta" out of nowhere cracked me up hahaha

Great video framing

ThankQ

11:41 probably the best part of the video🤣

that transition to your app 👌

Hilarious outro like always!

That pre-fatigue on the target muscle is the #1 tactic I've learned the last 2 years. Leg extension before squats, chest flies before presses, front and lateral raises before overhead press. The ONLY compound I cannot do this with is Romanian deadlift. It's actually very effective to do leg curls before RDL, but when I do leg curls first, I get hideous hamstring CRAMPS. Something about that maximum contraction when the Hams are not very warm is just a bad idea for. But I NEVER get Hamstring cramps from RDL. So I go backwards. RDL first and then I go do really cautious leg curls. Really, really cautious lol.

this dude is an absolute beast

You crack me up !

Hey Mike, please can you do a critique of The Bioneer? This guy really intrigues me with his unusual training methods.

Careful when using a Leg Press like that with as much ROM. Your blood pression can go up x4 on this machine since you have the head lower than the legs. Now I only use the hack squat, or do bulgarian splits squats. I would only use this press at the end of a leg session to finish off with lighter loads or 1-leg at a time. No more heavy sets, ever. I had an accident with that. I used to go as low as possible (however I am not as flewixible and my knees would be more on my torso. At the bottom, it would compress my abdomen as I was performing a valsalva manoeuver to brace the core. One day while doing a new PR, I experienced sudden headache on the back of the head, had a black veil about 2-3REPS before the end of my set and had to stop training. I never felt a pulsating headache like that and it was quite frightening honestly. I thought I had burst a pipe on my engine. For 2 months my headache was coming back every time I would do some effort that made my blood pressure vary (workout, stairs, cycling uphill, pick up something on the floor, even sex) I tried once or twice to do some sport but felt my issue coming back and I didn't want to impact negatively my recovery. Due to a disappointing medical journey , i first saw a GP that sent me to a physiotherapist, then angiologist and I didn't meet a neurologist until 6weeks after the injury so I didn't do MRI early enough. They suspected some spasms on the veins, or something else but didn't really find the cause for sure The most convincing explanation I found is a carotid artery dissection, which is not that uncommon, but risky enough to be one of the 1st things to check. It was probably overlooked or already healed enough when I saw the specialist. Several conditions can weaken the blood vessel walls, but I think that in my case a bad combination of factors lead to the injury. (high load, compressed abdomen, blocked respirartion, head lower than legs) In conclusion. I kinda liked that machine, but don't use it to do PRs or some Ego lift.

It makes me feel very good that his rationale for doing flies first is the same as mine.

The Doctor keeps taking us to the ever-entertaining intersection where science meets comedy. I'm here for it 💯

Most Impressive!

The segue into the RP advertisement was on a new level
