Exercise Scientist Critiques PewDiePie's Training 

That pewdiepie video is very old, I think you can find his new home gyms setup in his vlogs in the last year or two. Has a pull up bar / squat rack.

I would legit love love a critique on game characters physique lol

If anyone cares the members only video is 50 minutes long

What happens in an uncensored video with this dude?!😅 chains, oils and handcuffs added to the video😂😂😂😅

A video game streamer named point Crow just said he would be down for a collab. I asked him while he was on stream. You really should reach out.

WHAT

AINT NO WAY IT'S ACTUALLY PEWDIEPIE LMAO

Hey Dad! We noticed your comment hanging out solo. Thinking of sending you a keyboard to keep it company. Ready for an upgrade?😄🎮

omgggg

the man himself!

team full ROM gaming chair

"BUT CAN IT TO THIS?!" - Pewds in his full ROM gaming chair.

And his gaming controller should have weights up to 100kg. His computer mouse is also probably attached to a cable machine.

Guys I'm actually pretty sure OP meant that the chair should incline enough that Mike can bend him over it

Not a Gaming Chair but a Gyming Chair 😂

It also helps that he's a minimalist.

@@KakashHatak3 He's not a minimalist at all. He said he was, but he is absolutely not and has stopped claiming to be. He possesses things about as much as a normal person who can afford their hobbies.

for a sec i was wondering how dr. mike can throw so much gay jokes in 1 video while having a wife and kid

He made all his money already, he doesn't need to make content anymore.

99%*

it physically hurts me when Dr Mike said that

I specifically came to comment this. It hurt a lot

mick gordon is literally an entire subgenre in metal at this point

He most likely doesn't listen to deathcore

Man... It was BFG division too! The only way he could've wholeheartedly said that is if he had never listened to that song or any of Mick Gordon's work.

not that he would fit in one XD

​@@ChristianMallewhat just about to say that

He's married, but also a man who knows the joy of gay banter! A time honoured past time for all real men 😂

Everyone needs a closet... Cuz where you gonna put your clothes if you don't have one? In the floor like a hobo

@@hiscik1362 No, Mike just puts his clothes in his gym locker, because that's where he lives anyway.

I second this

It would be hilarious

Pewdiepie already playing games with Mike's sexuality

Doooo eeeeeeeeet

I want this so bad

You should see his reviews on Hollywood PTs. They seem to love taking money and giving you low quality fatigue.

"Came for Pewds"

​@@zecmyonkonieczkiy6564 PewDiePie never fails to make me finish quick 🤤😩

especially the humour, i've only watched mike's reels on ig prior to this and they were mostly just informative without any jokes but this was hilarious

@@zecmyonkonieczkiy6564pornrot

@@zecmyonkonieczkiy6564 cant say i havent done the same...

Can't let us get to familiar. He has to surprise us sometimes 😂

Yes 😂 that did catch me off guard

this the first video i watch by him smh lmao

yo this is the first video I've watched and its definitely leaving a *deep* impression 😂

@MightyFartBomber1 exactly brother 🤣

Yeah , just too bad he also said" repeat after me, Hitler did nothing wrong"

Also told them to buy G fuel

@@spbspb2413 lol, there is that...

@@spbspb2413why not it’s caffeine that taste "good" and it’s his sponsor.

He's saying only what pleases his viewers, that's why he has 111 million subscribers. If jumping on one foot would please his audience he would say that he loves that and he's doing that 24/24 hours.

Ha ett bra träningspass mannen❤

stop being so butthurt of your accent

A mix between finnish and icelandic english

@@Danebrogen1 you ok bro?

@@Danebrogen1 i hope you are not an american who thinks they dont have an accent

The best kind of training is the one you enjoy and can stick to. It might not be the optimal intensity or the bet exercises, but as long as you're consistent and not doing anything that will mess up your joints you'll get results.

@@jonstiffer4994 Yeah this is true. I think a lot of people can train and eat optimally for at least a few years, and probably get some pretty crazy gains doing it, but it takes a special kind of person to maintain that for 5, 10, 15+ years. I prefer to end most workouts feeling like I had more in the tank, rather than destroying myself, because that way even if I'm having a bad day it's much easier to motivate myself to do it.

@@yewtewbstew547 I've gone to doing full body mostly to feel fully recovered for the next workout, rather than being in a constant state where something is sore or fatigued

@@6393dudeYou shouldn’t be in a constant state of soreness or fatigue no matter what split you do. In fact, if you are, then that means your recovery is lacking. Not sure where you heard that myth.

@@yewtewbstew547 I'm the crazy guy that enjoys the feeling of consistently destroying myself, saving close to like 1-3 reps before complete failure. There's just something fun about seeing constant progress week after week, which is what motivates me to get back in the gym Wednesday after killing myself Monday.

Billy Porter and Clay Aiken also use this tactic.

Love this man !!

first time watching this dude i cant tell if he is joking or if he is gay

@@somename9204 Probably both.

@@somename9204 either he is joking or his wife is a massive cuck

it can do this! *reclined perfectly horizontally

*Watches guy recline* Scott!

Yep, at times he seemed a bit passive-aggressive towards pewdiepie for no reason

@@qwerty-rh6hthe's clearly joking the entire video

You mean sarcasm not irony 😂

​@@qwerty-rh6ht Lmao passive aggressive? Did we see a different video?

@@qwerty-rh6ht he was wholesome asf, what you mean passive-agressive?

I forgot about that one 😂

🤣🤣🤣 stuff only the Bro Army would understand

FLOOR GANG!

Paid actor

the comment i was looking the second i saw it lololololololol

same

Fuck yeah! That's awesome! Good luck on your fitness journey!!

Is it because he made it relatable? I find most fitness 'influencers' make it look impossible

@@joe94c I would say probably. Even beginners wouldn't be introduced to this channel no matter how informative it is, simply because the information, even though accurate, can be hard to swallow. I myself had to start out with zumba thinking it'd gain me any muscle. At the very least it built up my endurance and shedded some of my weight. Although I think because of that, it got me more into fitness, and eventually informative fitness. It can be a slowburn for people inexperienced, especially inexperienced people without much time for fitness, but if things turn out well and they continue their fitness journey, then they'll definitely improve.

@@joe94c I think it was mostly because he had a very similar body to mine. I also had very little muscle and felt like the fitness (or lifting/ bodybuilding/ strongman) space wasn't for people with a physique like mine. I already watched Felix's content quite avidly and seeing someone who resonated so much with me go through such a transformative process was incredible. It allowed me to see the real "before" - let's be honest, we don't get to see the real "before" from most influencers in the space. So yeah, in a way, he made it attainable. And as @user-wn3wv5bx5e said, there's not a huge influencer market for people looking to dip their toes in the space. "Beginner" in the fitness space, particularly the lifting space, typically translates to: "I've been lifting for a year or two and I'm looking for more focused techniques/regimens/ etc"..

He didn't make the chair or company. The chair has his branding yes, but it is a brand deal with the company. he doesn't actually own the company.

You’re just completely wrong hahaha. All he has is his branding on the chair via a brand deal but he didn’t make it and he doesn’t own the company.

@@Ryan-gb3ik okay thanks for correcting me… sorry that I don’t know the legal details in regards to pewdiepie’s unique gaming chair he sells. Because of the way pewd’s would always make sure to mention it (aka market it) each RU-vid video, I just figured that pewd’s owned the company selling the gaming chairs so that he was making maximal profit from each gaming chair sale. I guess whatever his contract is with the gaming chair company that’s making/selling his unique gaming chair design + pewdiepie’s brand / RU-vid persona, it basically must be way too expensive to try to start a gaming chair company from scratch, so after punching in the numbers, he figured out it would be way to much work / way to expensive to do it all by himself from scratch. So he partnered with clutch chairz for the project, as they already have all the infrastructure set up and ready to go, only needing to input the chairs pewdiepie graphics, and tweak the desigh so it can recline all the way to flat / 180 degrees. All that stuff is besides the point though, because it doesn’t matter if pewds started a chair brand from scratch or if he collaborated with an existing chair brand to create a unique pewdiepie branded gaming chair… at the end of the day, pewds does have a unique gaming chair piece of merchandise he can advertise and sell.

@@omgurheadsgone bro wrote a whole essay just because he was corrected.

Yes us men are very simple creatures

we need a Dr- Mike hot tub stream

Sign the Petition!

We are both victims

I was just halfway through my protein shake on my 4000th calorie. That was grim 😂 🤢.

It's important to note that Pewdiepie uses it sarcastically, if that wasn't clear. I'm not sure how obvious it is to outside observers who don't know his style.

@@irrelevantFJS when you say something sarcastically too often it becomes genuine. This has happened to me multiple times, I can't handle doing the same sarcastic phrases regularly

A lot of people are saying that so maybe if somebody can find the videos you can just put it in a comment and Scott will see it. I'm assuming this video is going to do the numbers

That's good to hear. Compound lifts are awesome.

You can still do full snatch and clean and jerk with dumbells or the less explosive versions (deadlift to overhead press.) There is no more compoundy movement than those.

He also does indoor climbing

⁠@@leorule4878Hell yeah, rock climbing is an underrated form of exercise

You were right. And yes, pewdiepie is a decent, normal amd reasonable human being.

And he did as evidenced by his new comment lol

@@CeRz he is a humble swede

@@fortnitetrashcan8308 most of us swedish people are, this is normally true for all norwegians too. It's called "jämtelagen"; which is a courtesy (unwritten) rule that states that we should not boast or think we're better than someone else, we're all humans and share the same value.

@@CeRz 100% det är en sak jag älskar med att vara svensk

almost as good as dr oz video

his video about having too much sex causing losing gainz is way funnier. this felt cringe, as if he was trying to be funny all the time

Had to pause just to laugh at 18:00

😂

Dr. Mike: What is a closet?

bro 💀

Wdym. I didnt even flinch

Yes! He gets what some of us feel! When the t-shirt drops, take my money!!!

yeah whenever I need a soul-crushing experience I do legs. thank god leg sessions take less time than upper body sessions.

I personally do legs so I can crush balls really hard

imo you do legs so you don't look like a triangle

Hi, fellow ESL person

Im pretty sure it was mostly Italian though. 😅

Hehe yeah he actually did a fine job with it. Would though say more Finnish then Swedish

More like a finish hobit, nowhere near Swedish. Still funny when he tries

It is purely Italian.

@@altide8784 hobit? Finnish taller than Swedish on average lol

Fun fact, ben is also a cousin word of the English word bone.

fun fact my cousins name is Ben

While we're on the topic of the strangeness that is Swedish, the word for married and poison is the same in Swedish: gift, pronounced "yift" Furthermore, Swedish grammar is an absolute pain in the ass since there are almost as many exceptions as examples for every grammatical rule, if there is even a rule at all, as is the case with our version of a/an. There is literally no rule for it, but you WILL be viewed as a weirdo if you get it wrong.

@3dprinting: Actually, Swedish is one of the easiest languages in the world to learn because the grammar is very easy compared to others. This is the present tense of „walk“ im Swedish for example: Jag går / Du går / Han går / Vi går / Ni går / De går Compared to German: Ich gehe / Du gehst / Er geht / Wir gehen / Ihr geht / Sie gehen Could go on and on 🤓

@@Pile_of_carbonIn old english the gift/gif used to exist, up until they decided to borrow "mariage" from french. But the gift/gift actually has a reason, germans. "Gift" in the sense of poison was originally an euphemism, basically in the sense of "something malicious was gifted" "Gift" in the sense of marriage is "gifted at a bride". Just that both forms has been around for a bit more than a millenia. This was today's random knowledge.

informing? I watch it like its comedy these random gay jokes crack me up so hard at times i feel the pain of every sore muscle

​@@krellinhahahaha same

"Informing?" Another Nordic person detected?

you mean informal

And what he said is so true, few things make me cringe as hard as people pointing out how cringe something is. I've gotten so used to using "cringe, bro" as a joke, that I can't take it seriously

Came here to post this, saw you already did.

Right

22 9d

Agreed👍

Yeah someone like Galen Rupp or Kippchoge would be great.

I think there have been some studies of how caffeine can potentially help working out. Don't know how true it is though.

it boosts energy helping you work out more, that's basically it @@Tom-fl8eh

Nerd 🤓 His dick must feel like a hoover deluxe lol

​@@Tom-fl8ehLol ofc it does. Caffeine is a stimulant and its in every preworkout you can find.

You really overexplained his joke about G-Fuel hahaha. Of course it was a joke, and the way he says it so "plainly" with no facial expressions, is part of the dry delivery that he does a lot.

I have the same setup, actually I bought it because I saw pewdiepies video a year ago. Can confirm you can absolutely build muscle with the setup

Ironically hypertrophy needs less equipment than increasing total strength. If your goal is to get the strongest possible legs the dumbells quickly run into a problem of being very annoying to rack for heavy ATG heel elevated front squats. Even from just the floor, the barbell ends up being easier to rack for this.

I've been working out for a year and I don't have access to a gym all the time. A pair of dumbbells is really all you need if you want to shape up your physique. Maybe as you get more advanced get a pull up bar and some resistance bands but beyond that you really don't need anything else. You don't even need a lot of weight on the dumbbells either. There are plenty of techniques and form changes you can do to make an exercise more difficult with the same weight. Hell, plenty of people built really good-looking bodies with bodyweight exercises alone. "I don't have the equipment at home and the gyms are far away and expensive" is an excuse.

I think he's gone too far Should 100% use a basic squat rack set up

I don't know, his living room looks quite fancy for a minimalist. I guess, he doesn't really need more, but I think a rack with a barbell and pull up set up would be cool

Stoicism? Doesn't fit that context mate.

@@sammckenzie6760 He has one in his new home in Japan.

@@TheOriginalFishPondtwo homes? Peak minimalism. Peak anti-materialism.

Insane. Would completely break my mind 😂 😂 😂

I like them both, but their humour types are a bit too different, I think. It would be a bit awkward. Just look at this video when PewDiePie cracks jokes and it flies right over Dr. Mike's head (not that there's anything wrong with that)

​@@carlosmspk that would make it even funnier... the awkwardness would be worth watching it on its own

@@carlosmspk Cringe humour is a thing. The Office is a great example of that

Your biceps just grew. Nothing to do with hammer curla.

I think hammer curls get the brachialis a little extra. And a thicker brachialis might make that peak show up

I've always heard basic curls with a pinch of external rotation to it target the distal head of the bicep for more peak development. Could be old school broscience that makes sense logically but not scientifically but something to consider. I can see my bicep split when i get to the end contracted range of motion on it. I prefer hammer curls just for the alleged strength crossover for building up to one arm chinups.

@@justinbailey2347 So theoretically according to science, external or internal rotation at the elbow would bias the different heads of the biceps. In practice this is so negligable that it would only matter and be seen if you've got Lee Priests arms and stage bodybuilding condition. You cannot specifically build up the peak, only make your arms bigger and even then some humungous bis with long insertions might still not have a peak.
