Exercise Scientist Critiques Tom Brady's NFL Workout

I need a 4 hour video of Dr Mike doing banded rows until failure 😂

This just secures brady for the GOAT status in my mind. Imagine being an elite athlete for years while doing housewife workouts. Absolute chad.

“As he screamed in frustration, he felt something deep within… He felt his core engage.”

Dr. Mike asked at the start of the video how long we thought the warm-up would be. Little did he know, the entire workout would be a warm-up. Splendid!

You know, I always wondered how Brady could simultaneously be an elite athlete and look like an accountant but now I kind of understand.

By "do banded rows to failure" what he really meant was, do them until you decide to stop.

I had a weight training class in college and there was this jacked dude that I buddied with. He was a personal trainer and I remember him saying once "I have to have a good physique because it's the best advertisement for what I know and can achieve" that always struck me as very sound logic. I don't know how Tom Brady, a guy that's been at the pinnacle of the sports world for so long, can look at this trainer and think "Yeah, that's the guy I need to be getting advice from". The trainer has the physique of somebody that's been doing only banded exercises his whole life.

When i was a new trainer, I remember taking over a client because a senior trainer had been hospitalized. He had education and experience over me, but his clients couldn't do basic movements. I really started looking at trainers differently after that

This HAS to be a joke, I mean even the guy demonstrating the exercises does them so comically I can't take it seriously.

I was really impressed by Dr. Mikes ability to keep his core engaged for 18 minutes straight

The editing on this was hysterical. For my sanity, I’m choosing to believe that these aren’t *really* the celebrity workouts, they’re what you get when the trainer (poorly) tries to adapt whatever they actually do with their clients into something a housewife could do with minimal equipment.

Tom always struck me as a gifted QB surrounded by people who only cared about themselves. I often wondered why Tom never looked like a Terminator in his NFL career, now I know.

One quote that stuck with me after watching dogshart training in athletes was "a lot of pro athletes are so gifted that they succeed in spite of their training, not because of it".

I tried this workout, and like they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Unfortunately, I died of boredom. I don't think a professional chess player could survive this workout without suicidal thoughts, and they're trained to sit still for 5 hours straight.

Its so nice to have someone ripping all these nonsense exercises apart and getting to whats real. Your videos and philosophy saved me a lot of time, and I really appreciate it

I could watch a dozen of these videos in a row...friggin hilarious!!

Boy, what I would pay to see these trainers reacting to your videos. This is a MIGHTY NEED

Would love to see a “Training the Perfect [Pitcher, Linebacker, Point Guard, etc]” Would be fascinating to see how Mike would prescribe the balance of sports specific movements vs strength training vs cardio etc.

I can’t stop watching these videos. Dr. Mike is hilarious. Please keep doing these.

This is one of my favorite series on RU-vid. I love these critiques.

I train pro athletes, this is NOT how you train pro athletes… I don’t even train my gen pop clients like this 🫠 Dr Mike for president. 1/10 was a GREAT RATING Doc. Thank you for this 👏

Keep ypur core engaged guys!

Ive been watching ur vids for a long time and they always make me laugh hard and reaffirm workout principles i should implement into my lift. Thank you for your content and please keep going

I'd love to see Dr. Mike do videos on athletic training and principles, if he doesn't already. Some (to me) welcome change to the great hypertrophy videos! :)

After watching this video, I'm supremely impressed by Tom Brady. He actually won Superbowls in his 40's while on a sham training regime. What a flex!

All of this makes so much sense, Why Tom Brady was so slow on The Football Field, imagine if he had someone training him that knew what they were doing from the beginning of his NFL Career

I listened to this while training and was uncontrollably laughing out loud at the gym 🤣 I need Dr Mike for my depressive episodes. 😌

Your critique videos are hilarious! I find them very entertaining.

As Elgintensity once said "pro athletes make gains in spite of their idiotic form, not because of it."

I make sure to keep my core engaged the entire time I am watching Doctor Mike

You inspire me Dr. Isratel! God bless you 🙏🏼

I'm glad you are calling these guys out.

Would actually love to see more sport related training content from you, Dr Mike. As great as all the hypertrophy content is, I feel like there's a whole wealth of knowledge you have on sports training that is rarely touched on!

I feel like the cameraman got a better workout than this poor dude.

You are so goddamned good at snide sarcastic remarks. Your videos are super fun and informative!

i'm learning things in a fun way, thanks dr Mike

I would love to see reaction videos to this from all the NFL players who lost to Tom Brady. He kicked their ass while running a 1990’s Buns of Steel workout routine.

The look Mike gave the camera when TB’s trainer said “vibrating” haha I lost it 😂😂😂

Hey Professor, I watch every single one of these videos! Great stuff! However, I have not seen you create a video for people with Facet Joint issues in their lower back. Flexion and Extension both cause discomfort and I would love to learn something USEFUL for it.

These celebrity trainers just proved to me that being a trainer really is 90% getting your client to like you and the other 10% is them doing the actual work and as a trainer myself it kinda angers me that people can give out b.s programs and make top dollar while most of us gotta work regular jobs to stay afloat.

Dr Mike, I’m just here to remind you to keep your core engaged as you do your battle ropes.

Omg your sense of humor kills me. I literally almost choked on my lunch because I was laughing so hard. I have been watching your videos for a couple months now and you , Will Tennyson and Jeff Nippard are some of my favorite. Love your knowledge and your issues with the fitness industry.

I read most of Tom Brady’s book, I believe it’s called TB12 Method (which I’m sure he wrote himself) while in a public library…yes I know, sad… but he writes about not using weights because they may damage joints and muscles…..and he writes he only uses bands because it “helps muscles stay elastic/supple” or some other assorted nonsense. Edit: got to the end of the video…it was pliability, not elasticity which is obviously much better

Hi Mike as a longtime lifter I would like to thank you for all your contributions to the sport. On RU-vid you are the most credible guy here. Keep up the great work, I look forward to your videos! 😀👍

Wtf there's no way Tom does this... Can you imagine if he'd trained properly!!

This is a truly great series

These videos are outstanding.

This was the most hysterical professional workout yet. His physique totally makes sense now, lmao!

These just keep getting better. The editing has me rolling. Mike, Scotthevideoguy, thank you both so much. You are educating and entertaining at the same time.

Another fantastic video! I’ve been doing the banded core rotation warmup for some weeks now and I can open my sliding patio doors soo quickly…shutting them is still a problem though coz they’re just. so. damn. heavy…

I love the fact you got all worked up about it :P

Dr. Mike, I got your training app. I love it so far. I finished one cycle. I'm getting sore when I wasn't before. It's helping me realize my volume was too low. I'm getting results. Worth every penny.

That look at the camera around 15:14 after "Nose doesn't go over your toes" - Priceless!!! Lol!

love this video. Subscribed

Dr. Mike-- Your commentary to these celebrity "training" vids are solid gold! One of the few things in life that actually, truthfully, cause me to laugh out loud... Keep 'em coming good sir!

He is so dead inside from all the bullshit, this is gold! Also, really nice that this isn't from a bodybuilding perspective, as a volleyball player I will never again train to failure in season, thank you

Out of all of Dr. Mike's videos, this one has made me laugh the most number of times.

“No knees over toes”. I learned 20 years ago that it’s impossible for me, what with my body geometry and all. Only way I can prevent it is by pushing my feet way forward and leaning back against a smith machine bar.

Recently got into working out more and found this channel, You're funny as hell! Great background videos that are still pretty informative, gained a new sub.

Julian Edelman said on a podcast that Tom was very critical of weight training and advised skill players( wide receivers) against it because of potential injury. On the knees over toes issue, when you sprint (I.e run routes) your knee goes over your toe

Dr RP….you had me at ‘banded warm up’ 😂 I’m signing up to your app based on many things, but mainly this video. Nose over toes bros 🤣

I would only argue one point, which is locking the knees when doing the triceps extension. Do what works best for you, but I keep them slightly bent on most things so that they take some of the shock absorption away from the spine. Also, I've never forgotten in the Army when they told us to always have the knees slightly bent even while at attention or you might pass out.

In the Facebook Watch series, Tom vs Time, they showed Brady working out and he was really hyping up plyometrics as the reason he was still able to play football at his age. This trainer must've gotten in his head with this. It's been a while since I watched it, but I don't recall him doing these exercises, but rather ones that mimicked his movements on the field, if I remember correctly.

I need more of these sport trainer ones. I love seeing Dr. Mike cut through all the bs or good things these guys are doing

Thanks and love your videos

Just wanted to say I love this channel and I’ve been soaking up your info like a dam sponge!! Not sure anyone at the channel will ever read this comment but if you do know you are much appreciated!!👏🏻💪🏼

Dr Mike can you please do a critique of Patrick Mahomes' workout routine in the Netflix Quarterback series?

I love the content on this channel, whether I use it or not, it is still applicable in the real world to get real results He is 100% accurate in saying that this is nonsense and I’m glad hes starting to call People out on there bullshit keep it up PS I usually just watch this channel because Dr Mike is funny as hell.

I've watched a handfull of these videos and this is the hardest I've chuckled so far. Lol

Best video yet, I got goose bumps from his sheer ignorance when he said his vibrating roller was stimulating the nervous system 🥲

Dr. Mike is one of the few people on RU-vid who can actually make me laugh.

This kinda stuff really puts into perspective the concept of “buying in” Brady has a lot of trust and belief that this works, so much so that he’s probably overly confident in it, but that confidence makes him feel more prepared in this one aspect, leading to him feeling more prepared for the film study, etc. One brick on top of another. I’ve seen this work with diets as well. One family member lost a bunch of weight, which attributes to the diet, but is really just calorie deficit. But her belief in the diet made her more likely to stick to the diet, which built up her confidence that everything was working and was more likely to make better choices, walking, gym, etc. So I didn’t bother her about because it all worked in the end

The "Chevy Tundra" commercial made me spit out my drink. The comedy starts right at the beginning of the video... I love it

Those band resisted plyos/ballistics/whateverisacoolnamethesedays are really good for most contact sports. Used them for hockey players and MMA guys. Also can be done basically where ever, which is always a bonus.

There were rumors that this guy helped sour the relationship between Brady and New England. This is the same guy that talks about avoiding strawberries because they're bad inflammation or w/e

these kinds of videos are amazing . 10/10 please more dr mike

I love it! These are so much better than everyone else’s “natty or not” redundantly inaccurate vids. Dr. Mike…sniper accurate, Eddie Murphy humor infused(ok - slight exaggeration there) - breakdowns! But slice it any way you like…YouDaMan! 😂

such good content, you cracked me up

New to channel and im dying man. I appreciate your honesty. Keep them coming

Imagine Tom Brady watching this and being like "Wtf? I did 10 hours of band exercises a day for 15 years! Is this why i couldnt eat anything but avocado this whole time"

God I love this series. Mike furiously but comically ripped ‘leading professionals’ to shreds.

Chevy Tundra! Dr Mike, thank you for the informative yet hilarious content.

These videos are amazing! 😂

Dr Mike unlocked why Tom Brady is like a statue in the pocket - training to fatigue

I look forward to these all week long

Why is it that the majority of celebrity personal trainers don't have the physique to back up their techniques?

I cannot watch dr mike while I eat. I have to stop! I can’t count the amount of times I’ve burst out laughing in the middle of a bite😂

That deceleration lunge might be really good for older folks who start losing the muscles ability to "stop" which leads to falls. Although you could just step off low platforms.

Dr. Mike is gradually losing his patience’s fast and faster with these coaches lol. Best follow on RU-vid 😂

Best Video Dr Mike has ever done! 😂😂😂

I’m sorry Mike but your roast on the music at the beginning, immediately reminded me of the RP app advertisement I just watched before this video

"Cosine that shit" hahahaha had me crying

As a Pats fan since the 80s, I've followed his workout/lifestyle/TB12 thing and I've hated Guerrero for ages. His training methods and advice never seemed like more than snake oil, but I'll be damned if the 100% pliability over everything else workout didn't extend Tom's career. Shrug.

I heart you, Dr. Mike.

This was so good!

As 3rd year engineering student respect to the vectoring cosine callout for the standing row i was doing that in my head as you said it

we’re watching Dr. Mike die of confusion and stress, little by little, with each of these training breakdown videos 😂😂

Seeing the ways celebrities and elite athletes actually train makes me wonder just how different sports would be if everyone hired credible trainers.

16:24 That kills me! I knew he was going to pause and comment. Too damn funny while being educational.
