What do you mean? If anything, it made me look up to him more. Good job, Dr. Mike. ... Oh, you meant Floyd? I would normally say "Fuck that guy!", but given his history, he'd beat you up after the intercourse.
From the skipping part of that video, you lost me Dr Mike. The isolated drill with the ball is to focus on pushing your opponent with your hands so you can stop the opponent from pressing in the ring and keep distance. The ab work is not full motion as in the ring you need to stay in a certain range of trunk flexion as well. Every exercise is VERY specific for every situation in the ring. This tells me his coaches are actually REALLY good and wasting no range of motion for stuff that is not useful in the ring.
😂 now while I agree and I do box Dr Mike also does compete with Jiu-Jitsu so he is familiar with combat supports overall. It also doesn't mean that he doesn't know the kinesiology behind the sport which is in fact where his doctor degree is from. He doesn't have to understand boxing to understand how to train for it. It sure does help but I'm sure he's figured it out by now. The only thing that I believe you might have to understand with partial reps. Boxers need to be explosive from every specific angle not just the deep angles.
Agree with most of what you say except for the skipping, boxers skip differently. It's about footwork, footspeed and coordination, it's really not about flashy moves and impressing people. Those cross-overs and double unders serve a specific purpose of training footwork. It's a part of the sport-specific training, it's not really about building cardio or fitness (though yes it does some of that too.)
Well people forget what he took before the fight and think he is a clean fighter 😂 people forget how many time Floyd went to the hospital after the hospital to drain out what ever he took 🤔
@@hyggeravn6325 he never said he would fight with a fist ,not to be rude but you gotta pay more attention on this video he's skill is jiu jitsu,it way different fight as a boxing ,I believe Floyd will win in a boxing match with rules but out side the ring it's a whole different story my friend.
What he says about skipping is completely accurate, skipping for footwork is never going to be as specific or transferable as actually boxing. It's no different to soccer players using agility ladders, it looks flashy but at the end of the day it's almost entirely a waste of time.
NO THE FUXK IT DOESNT. TELL ME WHAT SPORT SPECIFIC BOXING TECHNIQUE MOVE THE DOUBLE SKIP JUMP TRIES TO REPLICATE. UTTER HORSESHIT. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE BETTER FOR FOOTWORK AND MOVEMENT? DOING THE ACTUAL FOOTWORK AND MOVEMENT 😂😂 LIKE SHADOWBOXING, BAG WORK OR SPARRING
He doesn't drink, so partying for him is just staying out late at night. And there were moments when he would run home in his clothes. That's how dedicated he is about training. He's very rich from fighting, but trains like he's poor.
@@LLJR His sleeping might not be on point but he doesn't drink....smoke or take recreational drugs so hanging out at the strip club is very different for him compared to most....
Ummm people in decent shape CAN NOT jump rope for 15 mins straight. You’re out of touch with reality on that one. I jump rope on the regular and 15 mins straight through is murder.💀
Im a chronic skipper. None of my In shape friends can Skip...in general. 15 minutes? Takes months of practice to work yourself there. This guy doesnt have a clue.
One of the greatest boxers of all time. Had a long career, and the guy is still in fantastic shape. You should be taking boxing training critiques from him, not the other way around.
Exactly. Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, Greg LeMond, and probably Ty Cobb back in the day. These guys are the extreme outliers, the theory and practice that applies to the other 8+ billion people on the planet doesn't apply to them in the same way.
One of my first jobs was a personal trainer in Vegas at a 24 Hour Fitness. Floyd would work out there late at night. He liked the cybex machines. His form was shit and he shorted all his reps, but I was really impressed with his engine. He could really go for a long time. We cashed in because we made his whole entourage buy memberships even though he was the only one working out.
@@markpozsar5785 Mr pump reps half assed, too fast, cheating the motion, everything is 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions, does a bro split no doubt he is a God in the Olympia, but it's just genetics and gear, but his training is ass
@benjamindavis2475 yeah, youre not jay cutler! Shocker. Theres a reaspn why he was one of the best of all time. Even with suboptimal training reaching his level. With genetics that good that 50 lbs figure doesnt sound that unreal.
Zoomers discovering the Russell Athletic crewneck lol, one of the most classic and affordable shirts. Also, Smurfs wore white, their skin was blue. Mic drop, thunderous applause, roses
The title of this video is “Exercise Scientist Critiques Floyd Mayweather’s Training”… you then go on to speak on his personal life outside of training… makes sense
Because Mike knows he has no clue what it takes to actually train a world class boxer because he's never done it and bodybuilding doesn't translate to any athletic performance at a truly high level in any way.
This dude is not a boxer but wants to tell you what you need to do in order to be a boxer vs a boxer that has done it for decades and is considered arguably the best ever?! Make it make sense
the said boxer who train decades had tremendeous talent and one of the only kind in the world and for the rest of people who wanna train and didnt had that talent should follow articulate, comperhensible guide to improve. thats make sense
Floyd’s training and commitment to his craft has directly impacted his immense success. What he’s done has worked for him even if someone else would do it differently.
Go google the definition of "fight" lol .."to take part in violent struggle involving the exchange of physical blows". .I'd say boxers partake in the exchange of physical blows with the aim of inflicting damage. Don't be silly, it's a limited form of fighting but it's still fighting.
It's an aspect of fighting, I'll give you that. But to think they wouldn't destroy an untrained person, boxer or wrestler, is pure fantasy land for Bradley Martin
UFC uses both, and I'm pretty sure most people call that fighting. Literally in the name. Also generally, wrestlers clean the clock when it comes to boxers so idk wut this boi in the comments is spittin, just ain't fax.
Exactly this bum would get pieced up before he even thought about wrestling 😂 folks swear boxers only can box forgetting they could fight naturally long before the boxing
I don't have to watch this video to know you're wrong, he's undefeated, never lose, critic whatever, results tell more than "what type of training he's doing".
Do Manny Pacquiao next because I saw a video that literally said he does 3000 sit ups a day, different variations, it would be nice if you can break down his training program too.
Range of motion in random drills that boxers do between real training isn't the important part. Actually, shorter range of motion helps explosivness, which means it is more effective for boxing sometimes. If you thing Im wrong... just thing how to throw a punch... Punch is never thrown with "full range of motion" and this is just a thrivial example.
Dr. Mike, while have intense respect for you and absolutely agree with Floyd being a total dick for hitting women, Floyd could easily and I mean easily knock you out. You need to research his history.
And he has to fight at 11 o’clock at night so he needs to have a different circadian rhythm and peak at a weird time in order to perform. That’s why they don’t wake up early, especially closer to the fight. Imagine training for six weeks waking up at 6 AM in training early and then one day you have to train your hardest and best at 11 o’clock at night when you’re normally two hours into sleep. It easy to perform under those circumstances
He don’t want to do a full push up. Even just a scapular push up will help punching power and speed so there’s a point to what he’s doing whether you want to count them or not
Floyd does have hand issues and he actually was a strong puncher earlier in his career. He did adapt his style to compensate for his handproblems. Professional boxing can be hard the hands, because your hands aren't always in the right position when they hit a moving target. The wear and tear over the years, and injuries that didn't get enought time to heal, combined with genetic aspects probably made his hands prone for injury.
Honestly I don't think this guy has really watched a full Floyd Mayweather workout video. He only showed one part of his push up and pull up routine. Lot more goes into what the Champ does on a regular.
I consider pushups to be the funniest workout because of majority of people who say it's easy do it wrong. they don't go all the way down with their chest, usually always half way and they tend to do them super fast instead of nice and slow.
It sounds ridiculous to say floyds training is a "zero" when hes better at a physical activity than everyone, and he's better at boxing than any other athlete is at their sport
Military push-ups! You do not have to touch your chest to the ground. You break the plane, which is as far as you go. Any further you will damage your muscles!
Dr. Mike, the GOAT is Khabib Nurmagomedo. He did way more than Floyd Mayweather in terms of exercise. Khabib Nurmagomedo also never danced around, ducked, dodged, etc.. and all the rest of that bullsh@t. He fought guys straight up and with superior technique.
Someone needs to convince all these factories in the world there’s no reason to start work at 5am-6am. What’s the purpose. Why not start at a normal time such as 8am or 9am so people can sleep
I guarantee you he ain't out there running that late at night without any bodyguards! Not to knock the man, but he's rich, and famous - he ain't doing shit without protection. BELIEVE THAT!
Floyd Mayweather is definitely one of the greatest fighters of all time. The issue is the numbers are misleading if you want to look at who is the most effective fighter. He has the numbers but I don't trust that he is the actual goat.
I don’t see who would be whether is a great knockout type boxer if anything he’s just really great at wearing his opponent out by dodging punches the whole fight and that’s usually how he wins because they get tired
he knows nothing about training for anything sports specific and he's so fucking cocky about it. it's unbearable. Typical bodybuilder meathead behavior. These people who fawn over him think he's so impressive strictly because of his delivery and mastery of the specific vernacular.
I cant even call this a critique. Floyd has full workouts online. Hitting the heavy bag for 40 mins straight, mitt work 30-40 mins straight, shadow boxing 30-40 mins straight, 9 min sparring rounds with a fresh partner each round(the dog house). All on RU-vid. This showed none of what he actually does. We already know he would run 8 miles at night. This was weak man. Floyds training has always been skill and endurance based. This is common knowledge amongst the fight community. There is a reason the guy doesn't get tired. Dr. And exercise science is cool but floyd is a Dr. In the sweet science of boxing. Again he has FULL training camp videos online. This was a poor representation of his training routine.
I was thinking someof the same things. He selected a obvious hype piece by youtube journalist tht highlights his theatrics nd not his real training. And tjis os coming frm a floyd hater. Ive rooted against him 4 years but ths aint it
Hate him or love him Floyd is one of the most dedicated rich combate athletes ever. The key word is rich because most can’t keep that dedication once they reach the top.
I think a lot of Floyd's training is also structured around him having fights during the evening. So that's why he also trains in the evenings and wakes up later so his body is used to the routine.
you can be awake and not train, nor would you want to wake up close to a fight. better way would be to wake up early and not train until evening. which is why i doubt thats the reason for it.
@jerppazz4525 better way for who? If you're up 8 or 10 hours before your event you aren't going to be tired. I'm sure he structures his day around when he feels best
@@jerppazz4525 it’s probably a part of the reason. If he wakes up at 230, he is likely up until 430-630 if he’s sleeping 8-10 hours. When he fights he’s usually fighting from 1130-1230 time range. I get the premise but he’s likely staying up 4-5 hours after when he would anticipate to fight.
I would like to see your review of Mike Tyson's training when he was at his peak, unreal calisthenics work along with hours of training every day before his fights.
Mike, I’ll be down to find random people on the street and give them a speed rope and tell them jump for 15mins doing crossover, double unders, side swings, run and jumps, triple unders…etc.. let’s see if jumping rope is just something anybody can up and do…I jumprope everyday for 30mins to an hour EVERYDAY for years! And I can TELL you the coordination benefits are supreme when it comes to boxing. Being able to move around and control your left and right arms while controlling your left and right legs simultaneously is not as easy as you think. It’s a skill that takes years to master and that’s why boxers do it so much. I’m getting that you’re just mad that you can’t do DU’s and CROSSOVERS
Speaking of pathetic, Mayweather's wiki had this nugget "Mayweather also pleaded no contest to two counts of misdemeanor harassment, stemming from threats to his children." 🤮
Very correct and I also do not think you need full range to develop the muscle just to add to this. Full range put a lot of the movement into the shoulder and tri’s. I do not agree with Dr Mike on this one
Dr. Mike is saying that Mayweather is an elite athlete, so most of his punching endurance is already coming from his crazy boxing routine. He already maxed out his gains from years of half pushups. Adding more half pushups (1000+) won't increase his endurance and strength gains anymore. It just makes him more efficient at half pushups. Weighted pushups, proper form, varied styles of pushups, or going harder at boxing endurance workouts would move the needle more than 1000+ pushups.
TLDR probably something like: Top tier sports training Better SnC than most athletes (especially at the time) Obviously used gear Maybe could’ve had better fatigue management That’d be my guess as to his assessment
I would like to see you break down a sprinter's workout. (100m/200m/400m) One of the things I would like to hear you speak on is their emphasis on the concentric. I have heard Allyson Felix talk about avoiding the eccentric to avoid hypertrophy.
The Eccentric is responsible for creating the most damage to the muscle fibers. By athletes avoiding the eccentric or doing exercises that do not have an eccentric load, you can increase work and therefore work capacity without creating unnecessary extra damage. Pushing and pulling a sled is an example of this.
He would see an olympic sprinter doing a 3x body weight quarter squat and say “zero because that is not full rom” not realizing not everybody trains to maximize hypertrophy. Or see them doing fast eccentrics and say something like “slow down the eccentric portion” or some dumb shit
@@notreallyzekai3474 This is silly. Its even more important for performance athletes to train full ROM then for aesthetic athletes. And yes those same athletes would benefit from a controlled eccentric as well, as long as their concentric remains explosive.
14:45 rope skipping is very important in boxing. It develops good rhythm and the more complicated the drill, the more it trains your hand eye/full body coordination.
@awerawer0708people like you who know nothing about boxing talk a lot of crap. Jump rope builds stamina, explosiveness in the legs, good rhythm which you can't just get from only boxing. It's a part of conditioning which is what steroid headed mikey was originally reviewing before going off topic about Floyd personal past so please stick to lifting weights and stay in your lane as a delusional bodybuilder
@@awerawer0708 is that your comeback? Well anyone who reads this thread will have a good laugh at your stupidity. Not like bodybuilders had any sense to begin with.
The person who made that video you were reacting to had no idea what they were talking about in terms of Floyd's power. Floyd was known as a high action power puncher in the first half of his career (at 130 and 135), he had close to a 90% KO rate through his first 30 fights, what happened was Floyd jumped up in weight and at 147 and 154 he was fighting opponents that weighed 20-30 lbs more than him, thats why he stopped KOing his opponents, it's because they were way bigger than him. The hand breaks for sure played a role but the biggest factor was that, like most fighters, Floyd's power lessened as he moved up in weight, but the biggest factor was that Floyd didn't cut weight so he would weigh in at 147 and was still 147 the day of the fight, while his opponents would weigh in at 147 or 154 and the next day would be 175 which made Floyd completely changed the way that he fought and become much more defensive because he was so much smaller than his opponents
Stop LYING he did not fight fighters way bigger than him. He was to scared to lose. Even though he LOST the first fight to Castillo. They stole the fight. He did win the second fight against Castillo
@@richardcourtney1424 how is anything I said a lie? I never brought up any losses or wins, that's not the point of the comment. Secondly yes he lost the first Castillo fight, who cares, that happens in boxing. It was much more impressive that he didn't cut weight at 147 and 154 and still was beating guys 20 lbs heavier than him
@@richardcourtney1424 you're mistaken - virtually all of Mayweather's opponents after 2009 outweighed him with the exception of Marquez and Pac Man. Canelo was 170lbs on fight night, Mayweather 150lbs. Maidana was 165lbs during their fight.
Another factor to that is that Floyd's hands were apparently quite fragile and are prone to breaking - an apparent Mayweather family curse from what I hear. So on top of the weight jump and having to deal with weight bullies there's that.
I'd love to see Dr. Mike analyze Tom Platz's training videos (I'd probably join the member section for that, and to help Dr. Mike with his Lambo collection)
I'm neither a doctor, nor a Mike. But here's some political geography facts: - Russia is freaking huge, yet those assholes apparently still not satisfied. - Dr. Mike is Russian, but moved to the USA at a young age (according to himself). - Older countries have very jagged borders, usually defined by their natural terrain (rivers, mountain ranges, lakes) because it made territorial invasions harder, whereas newer ones (incl. US states) have a lot of straight borders that were drawn on a map upon division (geographical features would still be used when it made too much sense or if wars between the neighbours resulted in territorial gains). - Chad is Chad-shaped (this is more of a meme fact though) - Italy is boot-shaoed - Romania is fish-shaped - Austria looks like a stingray - Tajikistan is deer-shaped - Croatia is trying to eat up Bosnia & Herzegovina - Senegal is almost finished with eating Gambia - Nordic countries are fun: Sweden + Finland look like a flacid cock (Sweden) + scrotum (Finland), Norway + Sweden look like an ejaculating cock + balls, the Fennoscandian Peninsula looks like a dog
This is kind of sad. A Doctor who says he’s critiquing a man’s training goes into his personal life. Let’s be honest the good doctor is full of peds and the dirty laundry he has is not broadcasted because he hasn’t been successful as an Olympian, champion and HOFer. What Floyd did was poor but stick to the point or start a domestic violence channel. Additionally the scenario about meeting him in the streets wouldn’t happen because Floyd is rich and doesn’t hang around people like this.
Dr. Mike I disagree with your criticism about range of motion, Floyd seems to be pushing medicine balls and doing push ups in the range of motion where his punches would land - please explain the point of dropping deep into the push-up to reach failure if the person's goal is to throw hundreds of punches at an extended position?? Is full range of motion really better than training in the applicable range of motion? I'd like to add that Floyd had to make a particular weight and can't afford unnecessary muscle that he won't use during a fight, because in my opinion it would just add unnecessary weight and burn more energy.
@@ddwfw I asked Mike a question because I saw logic in Mayweather's training, being inquisitive is not the same as disagreeing - you just presume to know more than others, and calling someone confused when they are asking a question is certainly not a compliment, just very unhelpful. Mike also changes his stance and shares alternative philosophies because he is a scientist. According to 'International Journal of Strength and Conditioning' by M Wolf (2023), fROM and pROM has become a subject of debate in recent years, and their conclusion was that fROM is a good default, but athletes may benefit highly from ROM of the outcome of interest, the article also suggested that doing both is effective - therefore my question is most valid when directed at a sports scientist, and you are merely shutting down debate with self-righteous ego
@@ddwfw disagree with a Phd who is finding faults with an undefeated boxers methods? If u wanna learn to box and learn to physically train to box u taking the Phd on fitness or Floyd for advise?
@@ddwfw True, but every discipline has an approach to PT. Is Mike equipped to assess how a combat athlete should approach his PT? Is this not an F1 Driver telling a Rally driver how to drive?
That "white" guy he was boxing is Canelo Alvarez - Mexican. He also trains a lot. Can you review his training? He's currently one of the P4P boxers, definitely the most lucrative
DV aside… everyone thinks they could take Floyds punch because they think he’s only good at ducking, but before he was Money Mayweather, he was Pretty Boy, and Pretty Boy was a killer.
He’s not good at ‘ducking’ he’s an all around defensive genius. But Pretty Boy was a master volume and accurate puncher. But Floyd doesn’t hit hard per se, he could easily knock me out but his hands have gotten so brittle over the years that he might actually hurt himself trying to knock out someone like Dr.Mike for example. Idk I might be talking out my ass I’m gonna go take a Prozac now.
@@halffruit9245 when I said ‘everyone,’ I was mostly referring to casuals who think his record is cherry picked. He’s a solid puncher, not a hard puncher. It ain’t about the force of his blows, but the speed, precision, and timing. He knows where to hit and when to hit them for maximum impact. Plus, he also has the hand speed to exploit any opportunity he sees. Pinpoint blows to the chin or temple can knockout anyone, no matter how thick your neck is. Mike may know how to defend himself but tough guys only get hurt in the ring. I learned that the hard way with my own body.
@halffruit9245 You could be right about his hands but I haven't seen any evidence of this. Boxers are taught not to hit the heavy bag every day as it will damage the hands. Floyd has taken care of himself probably the best of all time for a champion who has fought as much as he has.
@@MARZOSIRUS There’s actually been a ton of articles about this, people called this the Mayweather curse. Floyd’s father also had the same brittle hands as Floyd I would post a link but I’ve been chronically sleep deprived. But just look up Floyd Mayweather brittle hands and you’ll get the answers your looking for. And his hands aren’t because he didn’t train them properly it’s just a genetic propensity for having brittle hands.
an actual boxing comment. funny its a training video but everyone makes it about his outside the ring mess. Only Floyd gets it to this level but several fighters have done the same if not worse.
I respect the knowledge. But critiquing a professional fighters training, especially one who's successful, is comical. Unless coach has fought professionally for a living. I think his opinion holds no merrit here.
Bro one thing to touch on is the skipping, if you watch his skipping compilations, you can tell he has the skill of skipping maxed out. One of the best skipping endurance and skill wise. As a boxer I can skip for days but skipping is about changing levels, up and down the speed and the way he uses skipping skills with changing pace + ankle weights, it's really not easy.
Trying to descredit Floyd while pretending to talk about his training regime , ooooh he’s frustrated that life didn’t turn that good for him 😢 And did you know when you’re successful people will do anything to tear you down … 😂
