No way dr mike is finally critiquing himself

Ultra buff Joe Rogan criticising normal buff Joe Rogan 😳😳

My 6yo saw the thumbnail for this vid and said, “can we watch old man wrestling?”

The minute he said he had weak forearms I knew it was a versagrip ad.

I wanna see Dana white, Joe Rogan, and Dr. Mike all in a room and everyone else try to figure out who’s who

My main focus is non-functional strength. Train hard enough and you can't do shit. I feel great

IDK man, I’m building muscle naturally at 41 and it just seems like most TRT proponents on the internet are just people who used steroids who want to make excuses for still using steroids.

I once heard a sports scientist make a comment that if you could bottle the effects of proper sleep, it would be a banned substance.

Jamie, pull up that clip of a bear critiquing my exercise routine.

Joe takes Ayahuasca as pre workout. Multiversal entities train him in the gym. They promised him that he will be able to defeat a bear once his training is complete.

Can we get a sources page at the very end of the videos? As someone who is critical of every fitness video, having a sources page would be greatly beneficial

I mean, there are concerns involving the intake of sugar. Clogged arteries, increased risk of diabetes, etc. But these risks are from overindulgence, not general use.

I'd love to see Dr Mike doing a JRE podcast and then one of those videos destroying him at the gym.

I think this is the most simultaneously intense & calm person I've seen. Guy looks like he's about to explode at any moment or chill out with some tea at the same time.

All that processed protein bars and seed oils keeping you big as hell

The term "thumbnail" is really fitting in this case, because it looks like a before and after image of what happens to your thumb if you hit it with a hammer.

I get up all the time and I’m not even Turkish

lol, that was a super smooth ad transition

Your wrong on seed oils mate. Ive studied youtube videos for years.

Best “functional strength” exercise I ever did was working unloading trailers at UPS.😂

Hell, the journey from simping over Versa Gripps to actually being sponsored by them makes the ad SO satisfying.

Burpes and dips for 30mins straight for the last 2yrs. Best i have ever looked.

I've strengthened my grip tremendously just by doing heavy shoulder shrugs without wrist straps.

Dr. Mike, I have one criticism and that is the Turkish get up is effective for training standing up while holding a squirming toddler. That's all. Continue, good sir.

It’s eerie that I clicked on this video when I did. I was just thinking how I wanted to get my test levels checked because I had gained 30 pounds in the past year, eating like shit, drinking too much, and was getting uncontrollable panic attacks. Go in to the doctor’s with my BP at 167/112. He puts me on BP meds that make me feel like shit. I stopped taking them after a week, built my diet/ exercise program and kept it on point. 3 weeks later at my follow up, I’m down 17 pounds, BP is at 132/89, panic attacks are gone, and I am certain that I don’t need TRT.

Love your videos Dr Mike!! Educational and I enjoy your humor

Dr.Mike "I am the most jacked scientist" AND I TOOK THAT PERSONALLY give me 8-10 years Mike, then we'll go pounding for pounding... That's the phrase right?

Ever notice everyone loves Rogan until he talks about something you actually know about...

This guy has a fitness channel, he commentates the UFC, and he runs a pawn shop in Las Vegas and you never know what is gonna come through that door.

Thanks for the info Dr. Mike! Always enjoy your videos.

my 60 year old uncle is on TRT and he's insanely jacked (has like 6% body fat) he drinks heavily everyday (drinks like 12 beer everyday) and works out only like 2 hours everyday he also gets into this weird rage every now and then and his head got massive in the last few years since he started TRT lmao he's weird

I went on TRT on 39, had testicular cancer when I 25 so got one ball and actually needed it, it was a pretty noticable change but a way more noticable change was quitting alcohol, sleeping betterer, eating well and starting to train 4 months prior to going on it. Alcohol is fucking terrible for your mind, body and soul, quitting drinking should be tried before TRT

Get Dr Mike on JRE asap!!

Such sound, level headed and very informative advice. Thank you :)

Thank God someone said it, power cleans are way better than the Turkish get up. That Dips, overhead press and rows are top tier.

Lmao at the Joey Diaz part....The funny thing is, if you know his background and hear some of his old stories, it's actually a miracle that he's still alive. He might be the king of longevity.

Cant understand why Mike hasnt been on JRE yet. He`d be a fantastic guest. Get on that shit Rogan!

Isn't the problem with seed oils about highly-processed vs cold-pressed? I thought that makes the difference, and that the 'processed' ones are the unhealthy ones but I might need to look into this more as it seems. I hope this guy doesn't just completely ignore this aspect because I really like him.

The positivity here is heartwarming. Thank you, everyone!

Wait a minute, we don't have drug testing in JiuJitsu LUL

I’m new to your channel but I’m very impressed. I’m shocked by how many credentialed experts give advice that violates first year biology/physiology. I’ll definitely be back to hear more from you!

Entertaining and informative - thanks!

I just finished your video on 90's gym commercials, and now I see this 😂

I think what JR actually means is the movements traditionally associated with kettlebells transfer better to athletic pursuits better than a bodybuilding focused routine. Explosive and leaning towards endurance due to rep count. As the man said, you can do all that with bars.

I LOVE how Blunt and Brutally honest he is... This is why I like his videos😊

So seed oils aren't negative in any way? Wow

4:16 The drug testing in Jiu Jitsu cannot be taken very seriously if our good Dr. is competing in it. 😁

This mf said that’s why we drug test in JJ then said Gordon Ryan

Dr. Mike, thanks for the info!

this is awesome information thankyou so much.

I'm glad Mike is addressing the "functional" strength stuff. People really like to shit on anything barebell or body building related despite those two things being really really good for size and strength.

Dr. Mike reeeeally wants that Rogan guest spot so he's being super gentle.

Bruh. Where is the list of all the supplements and where to get them. Need them peptides!!

4:16 "Drug tests in Jiu-jitsu" 😂 Tell that to the people who didn’t stand on the podium just so they wouldn't get tested.

From one five foot three guy to another 😂

Joe Rogan is the kind of dude who will literally try ANYTHING if you claim it's gonna make you healthier

Could you do David Goggins next? I always admire his drive and discipline (although extreme). But I always sees everything he did will do more harm than good.

never seen someone so sus and so entertaining at the same time! keep it up big man

I am on TRT (my levels were at 93, so it was needed) and it helped me greatly. Mike forgot one important fact, if you start on TRT without needing it, your body will naturally stop producing it, so you will have to take it for the rest of your life.

Ahhh, makes my day, another perfectly intergrated, totally unexpected versa gripps ad 😊

If carbohydrates are king why is it the only nutrient that our body doesn't need? We can produce glucose from protein....

I know nobody dictates to Joe what guests to take, but an episode of hist podcast with you, Huberman, and Rhonda Patrick in a round could easily become one of the best and most informative cornerstones for learning about foundational health and fitness.

That’s why we need a Dr. Mike. A shit ton of health gurus, doctors and other fitness influencers recommend TRT just because of age threshold

Dr. Mike I gotta say - you're probably the best communicator on these topics that I've come across. Your delivery and your succinct approach to scientific citation is the chef's kiss 🤌🤌

What I like about turkish getups are the awkward loading angles and combinations of joint stabilizations. However, as far as carryover effect, TGUs make you better at TGUs, and thats about it. It is a fun way to test your shoulder mobility and balance, and I like to use it for conditioning drills paired with swings.

Lol, Dr Mike: "kettlebells are pointless, dumbbells are better". Also Dr Mike "I don't know why, but I've got poor grip", May I suggest more kettlebell? :)

If linoleic acid from seed oils isn't bad then why is high oleic soybean oil considered heathier than normal soybean oil?

You watch Dr Mike for genuinely the best fitness advice one could ask for, I watch Dr Mike for the absolute top tier smooth and seamless transitions into ads for the RP Hypertrophy App. We are not the same

we don't have drug testing in jiujitsu, everyone is on steroids even the teenagers

Elevator background music is perfect.

Dude, you crack me up. HAHAHA! Great video.

Congrats on 2mil.subs 🎉👏

LOL, in the UK we're less squeamish about names and just call it "rapeseed oil" - you can but it in any supermarket. Fun fact: The name "rapeseed" comes from the Latin word "rapum", which means "turnip." Rapeseed is part of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes turnips, mustard, cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables. Ok, not that much fun. But still a fact :D

Love Dr. Mike but I disagree on the Turkish Get-Up take. It’s more of a stability exercise that works the entire body, not just your shoulders.

I finally saw the RP app ad coming

Dr. Mike is very calm in this video. He is also not making fun of Joe Rogan like he do for other people. Dr. Mike don't want to loose his chance to get on JRE 😂😂

My cpap is my TRT. Shit changed my life.

That thumb nail cracks me up. It makes me think of when Theo Von said he looks like a frozen turkey

you can see his ads from a mile away but you watch them anyway

I think that kettlebells are mainly nice because the way they load weight for certain motions and exercises. Dumbbells are totally useable and great, but certain movements the kettlebells feels a little bit easier to manage and get through a proper range of motion. For example, the Turkish get up. I did some variation of this for my injured shoulder maybe it's called a windmill, I can't remember, but it was similar in concept. Stabilize shoulder. While it's a minor gripe, it was slightly better with a kettlebell vs a dumbbell on my wrist, allowed me to keep it straighter, which is a nice advantage when we're talking healing an injury, every little thing could be a game changer.

Don't seed oils cause more inflammation than other oils like olive oil, avocado oil and animal oils?

I’m not working out like I should and my schedule changes a lot but, Mike is definitely a regular spot when I have some time to watch whilst eating or whatever. Dude is hilarious. If I could afford to work with him in person I’d be there.

Idk how you resist opening this episode by saying “I’m dr. Mike, a jacked scientist…”

The ad read is gold!

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, alcoholism, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

Fructose is probably not your friend when regularly consumed, even if you're very active the sugar itself seems to have deleterious effects on the liver and intestines. But If you're not pounding sodas all day or eating a ton of candy it's probably fine. If you eat a real healthy diet, pound soda and exercise well it's probably not horrible but not recommended.

I'm glad you mentioned the very basics of testosterone levels. Regular, good habits - most of all proper sleep. I didn't catch if you mentioned that heavy lifting excercise will yeild higer testosterone. Also engaging regulalry in dangerous (adrenaline sparking) activities, WILL yield higher testosterone levels. I'm surprised how many knowedgeable influencers spend 99.9% of their effort on HOW to get TRT SOON. Rather than addressing that 99% of people have NO biochemical, nor physiological knowledge AT ALL. Particularly in the USA, I notice a cultural trend for quick external fixes. Castrate your male dog, give your hyper active child amphetamine, castrate your depressed child. Given that dangerous mental lazyness firmly a part of the culture, a medical advisor must focus 100% on lifestyle (is the waist measurement les than 50% of your body height?) before even considering pharma-profiting measures.

The other problem with TRT is they take the averages from ages 18-80! The averages should be in 10 year brackets (18-25, 25-35, 35-45 and so on). What I am saying is it's really easy to have "normal" testosterone levels using that scale. You might be below your normal, but that might be above average on the scale.

How did you miss making fun of the extra gear line

The problem with seed oils, and oils in general, is it is very easy to consume way more calories than you think you are. 1 ounce of olive oil is 250 calories. Using that to cook your chicken breast and veggies you can create a calorie surplus without even realizing it

The way I plan my workouts is pretty simple. I workout 4 days a week. I go every other day. Sometimes I have Sunday off sometimes I workout. I am in my mid 40's and feel like one day of rest between workouts helps me tremendously. What I am doing now is Back, Chest/Shoulders, Arms, Legs. The back and chest workout days I tend to do several compound lifts that also hit the shoulders and biceps and triceps. The Arm only day gives me a second day working specifically on my Bi's and Tri's. The legs only day for quads and hamstrings and calves. I also throw in some core training in those workouts for abs and lower back, etc. This way I don't have to think about it too much.

As a former bartender who dropped a lot of drinks, I got offended by the turkish get up burn.

Im 52 and do HRT for about 8 years. Get blood work done every 6 months. I also work have worked in trades for about 25 years and have weight trained most of my adult life. I notice the recovery times the most, its awesome.

I've had type 2 diabetes for decades. I've tried low carb high protein, I've tried intermittent fasting, I've tried a ketogenic diet, and nothing really works. Keto in particular is really hard to stick with because I experience extreme muscle loss to the point it's difficult to walk. The only way to combat this is to consume massive amounts of fat (and calories) in order to eat enough protein that my body requires, which would defeat the purpose of the diet (to lose fat and weight). I now mostly eat organic foods. For example, bran flakes, raw clover honey, dates, banana, with unsweetened almond milk. And then slice up one organic apple (various red apples). I also like Jocko's Mölk protein powder which has no added sugar and uses egg, whey, casein, which I use with a collagen powder (both vanilla flavored with stevia), and almond milk, and about 2 TB of chia seed powder. Sometimes I will throw in some matcha powder into it. My other main meal is organic whole non-homogenized yogurt from grass-fed cows, blended with organic strawberries (or blueberries) and stevia. It's super good. This particular brand of yogurt is the best ("Kalona SuperNatural"), it always has a lot of fermentation because it's pasteurized at the lowest legal temperature. Sometimes I have cheat meals of english muffins with irish butter and organic strawberry jam. When I get hungry at work I will snack on some Manuka honey. The Manuka honey is good for skin and gut health, which the other foods and supplements I take help with as well. I also like to drink Zevia which is a stevia soda, but I add grapefruit juice to it and it's amazing (I love strong citrus drinks). However I have noticed that consuming too much stevia does spike my insulin quite a bit.

Liked your video today!

The hardest part of making this must've been wading through all of us podcasts to find his exercise plans

4:18 "that's why we have drug testing in Jiu Jitsu" and then immediately mentions Gordon Ryan LOL

Like you, love Joe , will be listening to you both from this day forward. Thanks for the videos!

I love these vids
