Mike actually got versa grips to sponsor him😂😂

Conservation biologist here that supports your egg and chicken talk. I physically cannot restrain myself from yapping about it when it comes up so you made me very happy.

Using Albert Hammond JR as a stand in for Efron is surreal. Feel like I’m having a lucid dream.

Excellent video as always! 🙏

congratulations on the versagrip sponsor, it was about time!

Microbiologist and former genetic engineer here. I support your view on the chicken egg question! I'm always reacting the same, when someone brings this topic up!

What I like most about your videos, is the lack of cutting every 30 seconds like most other youtubers. Thank you very much for that. Oh, and the content is great, too.

Holy shit congrats, Mike! I was totally expecting the beginning of the RP hypertrophy app to start playing, but when it was for versa grips that took me off guard! Super happy for you. You earned that sponsorship.

I've noticed that none of these Hollywood "trainers" look like they lift.

My dude finally got that versagrip sponsorship. Congratz. Also, a small tip for the editor, you can use a matching EQ ( something like FabFilter Pro Q has that for instance) to make two recordings from two different microphones/rooms/etc sounds pretty close to each other. So it doesn't sounds as jarring when you switch to an ad segment.

Just switched from tv to my phone so I could compliment your lecture on phylogeny. As an evolutionary biology nerd it made me happy! Love your stuff.

I've tried to explain the egg thing to many people before. If a person could'nt grasp it I was confident I should'nt involve them in my life. Been working great so far.

I gotta see an Athlean X critique!

Nice to see Versa Gripps sponsoring! I remember you shouting them out years ago for free

Recently discovered this channel and have been integrating your guidance in my workouts, thank you.

As always, great fitness coverage - more of this, please.

The first time I listened to this channel, I was not cued into the humor at first. Now that I’ve been conditioned, I really enjoy it😂

Versa Gripps. We did it boys 💪 Still wishing for an RP Limited Edition Versa Gripps.

Just ordered my versa gripps using your code!! Can’t wait to try them out!

Dr. Mike's critiques always crack me up, keep it coming! :)

A member of The Strokes demoing the workouts is so fucking random but I kinda love it. Can we have Josh Homme next?

Honestly only found this channel last week and it's such an education and one of my favourite channels👌

Excellent information. Thank you.

I was having a lot of carpal tunnel pain and numbness in my wrists and forearms and I feel like Versa Grips really helped me alleviate that!🙌 They really are a great addition to lifting. Congratulations you deserve that sponsorship!🙌💪

Thank god I saw this Murphy guy. Now my abs won’t fly away during my workout, they’ll finally stay in.

I felt your rant about chemicals to the core. I share the same feelings on it.

Your videos never disappoint. Thumbs up 👍👍

Absolutely love this channel 100% real

Dr. Mike - Your coaching on slowing down the eccentric phase has boosted my gains bigtime!

one of the best bundles of information i heard in this critique and not because your others are any less informative but because it cleared up some questions i had in my mind at the time

I thoroughly enjoy your videos

THANK YOU! I have been pro EGG for years!

I want a critique of Zacs jawline though

You are very consistent. It's obv very easy to contradict oneself when providing so much information and feedback on so many different topics and examples without giving long full depth explanations, but you seem to be fast and concise with your responses and somehow avoid potential conflicts or contradictions. Very articulate and this it shows you have not only educated yourself well but have become well practiced in communication. Great content

I just love these videos man :)

Wow. 7/10 for that has to be one of the most generous scores I’ve seen on this channel.

Here's the argument against the phylogenetic argument that the egg came first: 1. Species-concepts are vague in phylogeny. When a population becomes reproductively isolated, you have species-branching. But the concept of becoming reproductively isolated is vague: How long does there have to be no shared reproduction between groups? How much reproductive isolation is needed before the two populations are distinct species? 2. Vagueness is metaphysical, not epistemological. It's in nature, not our minds. It's not that it's just hard to tell when exactly two species branch off. Rather, there's no fact of the matter, just like there's no exact pair of colors that mark the boundary between red and red-orange. All that you can say is that there are paradigms cases of red, paradigm cases of red-orange, and borderline cases where there are shades that fit uncomfortably between the two. 3. Therefore, there was no first chicken. All you can say is that there were paradigm cases of proto-chickens, paradigm cases of chickens, and borderline cases between them. 4. Since there was no first chicken, there was no first chicken egg. So the question is ill-formed. Neither answer makes sense.

loved the chemicals mini-rant. and the egg/chicken rant. just top shelf stuff, please keep it up

This video is amazing!

As a chemist thank you for the rant at 18:47 🙏

Loving these vids. LOVING them. They are eggcellent.

Love your videos!

Grz for the versagrip sponsorship mike💪

I'm glad I snagged my versa gripps but that 15% off woulda been nice!! Congratulations!

so happy you ginally got the versa gripp sponsorship well done

Having just screwed up my shoulder, thanks for the explanation on the external rotation stuff. It'll help me for a bit as I recover but damn, love your content. Insanely informative as to what is actually helpful and what is...gimmicky.

Glad to hear you say that about the rotation shoulder 'warm ups' I've always seen everyone doing them in the gym as well as on youtube and always wondered why as it seems to do nothing. Ive had / still have a dodgy right shoulder yet still found no benefit to doing them. Like you pointed out, I've always just warmed up using excercise specific warm up, ie for bench my warm up is just going through the movement over and over with just the bar

As a pedantic chemist, the term "organic" for foods used bother me for exactly the reason Dr. Mike states. Supposedly to qualify as organic, foods have to meet certain qualifications, and I have no clue how well that's regulated/enforced. However, if "organic" means that a food wasn't produced with (and possibly contaminated with) something like Monsanto's cancer-causing glyphosate, then to me, it's a meaningful distinction.

Dr. Mike recommends a useful thing that he has been recommending for years and is fully credible. Quite differently from podcasters who sometimes come across as endorsing and suddenly everyone loves the same drinks, electrolytes, and other nonsense simultaneously.

After watching this channel for a week non stop… downloaded the app. Well done. Ya got me

Love you. Thanks for telling people what organic means.

In America "Organic foods" means that the food was produced under a stricter set of regulations. In some cases this means less fertilizers or pesticides, and usually means the food was produced with a reduced environmental impact. It's not meaningless, it just doesn't mean healthy like some people like to think.

We need more critiques by Dr. Mike. Freaking cracks me up the way he unabashedly reacts, then follows it up with a profound, scientific diatribe that's full of amazing insight and truth 😆 Love it -- keep up the great work!!!

Hello dr. Mike i would like to know if u can help me with my problem, i have pain between my chest and biceps left side, i think its coracobrachialis and i think its from flat benching cause it hurts the most when im doing bench, but it also hurst doing any chest movement or some for biceps…what should i do cause pain wont go away …?

Love your content and have been enjoying it and learning from it for some time now. The background is peaceful and much more welcoming than the dark void you used to use. However, is that a Shake Weight on the shelf behind you? Well, practice makes perfect. Peace!

I bought Versa grips because of this channel months ago and absolutely love them.

I would love to see your take on Rob McElhenney’s body transformation. His “easy” equation for getting into hollywood shape is the best I’ve ever heard. Have a personal trainer + personal chef + no work obligations + no family obligations = easy hollywood body transformation

Loved you on the boyscast!

I'm very proud of you for getting the versagrip sponsorship

The gym, eating, muscles, and your videos are the only things that get me through the day..

Grats on finally getting Versagrip on board.

i'm an ecologist, and yes, the way he explained it is actually right. in that sense it would be the egg.

Giving it a 7/10 was highly generous of you Mike.

Like two legends said "Stay deep Stay hard" David goggins x Dr mike

Congrats on the sponsorship maaaan! Versa grips 🔥🔥🔥

Dr. Mike, just started watching! Love the videos! Do you have any videos addressing "feeder workouts"?

your delivery of humor is De Lish Ous and appreciate your practical knowledge

Holy he shit he finally got the VersaGrip sponsorship!!!!

От Души, доктор Майк

Thanks for pointing out the organic point, I had a debate class in HS that put me on that point and it hasn’t left my head since…8 years later

I made it in the versa grips ad, where's my cut Dr. Mike?

So Physical Therapist here. If you do have a shoulder injury, may want to do something such as body blade for a warm up of dynamic stabilizers regarding rotator cuff. As stated in video: this will not enhance lift itself but good way to prime rotator cuff to prevent further injury

I came to the comments to answer the chicken vs egg debate, but Dr. Mike beat me to it. So I just came.

LET'S GOOOOO! VERSA GRIPS!!!!!! Mike finally made it, we big timers now baby 😭

Love watching these videos and all dr mikes so funny bro lol

As a biological anthropologist, I am here to support Dr. Mike's chicken and egg claims. Waiting so long for someone to say it!!

I knew I was right about the "egg and the chicken" conversation, my belief was that evolution takes too long for a supposed "proto-chicken" to evolve into an actual chicken during it's lifetime. What makes more since is that these proto-chickens evolved more and more until eventually one of them laid an egg that had the very first chicken inside. I know little to nothing about evolution or biology outside of what I learned in high school, this just made sense to me.

How did it take me so long to find these videos?! Thank you, Dr. Mike, for the incredible exercise science knowledge AND for the comedy! 😂 Love it! 🙌👏

I'm so happy Dr. Mike mentioned this nerdland explanation of the chicken or the egg conundrum! I've been saying that for years!!!!!

You're a natural on camera, keep shining!

I hope you have the biggest workout with the most Super Saiyan pump of all time today in honor of Toriyama. RIP to the realest one

Been using Versa Gripps for 7 years... Love um 💪🏼

I cant wait!!! And i really do hope you score a gig to train a celebrity for a role Doc! Keep on the grind they will notoce eventually

Postgrad marine biologist with a Zooogy BSc and Biological Sciences MSc checking in just to confirm Mikes phylogenetic tangent is on point.

I really like Dr. Mikes stuff. Organic food does have set standards from the USDA, doesn't mean the food is inherently better, but meets a higher standard of production.

Just watched the Zac Efron and Geoff Stults workout video and they hit on some eccentric overloading exercises that I wish Dr Mike had talked about.

Dr Mike is such a smart arse!!!...... and it's amazing! Really enjoy content

Loved seeing Dr. Mike on The BoysCast.

Totally on board with the egg dna combination. Great seeing the Versagrip sponsor too!

I bought my versa grips after your advice 😅😊 greetings from Norway!

Mike and Scott You have to look at his most recent film the Iron claw!! He is juicy its dope

Love my VersaGrips. Thinking about the knee sleeves too.

Man thanks for all the amazing info and love the humour! Got a question, I have rotator cuff issues to the point where I can't squat properly because I can't reach the BB with my hands. Do you have any advice on what excersies I can do to help my rotator cuff?

I been watching your videos for awhile and I'm just now realizing I'm not even subscribed...I am now a full-time subscriber. My apologies

The comment about external rotation is TRUE. I ONLY do it, because I had "snapping scapula syndrome" and needed months of physical therapy. So, I do it as part of my PT exercises, on recovery days. Anyway, congrats on the VersaGripp sponsorship!!!

I was hoping you were going to talk about Efron's transformation he did for his recent movie role where he played a professional wrestler. That transformation is unreal. You showed a picture of him from that movie but only talked about his transformation for Baywatch, which came out many years ago. Maybe do a follow up video about his most recent transformation? In other news, I ordered my Versa Gripps today! Thanks for the discount code!

When I learn about external rotations, it was supposed to be about helping with forward shoulder rolling issues. It seemed to help me with that issue.

Good one mate

I agree with pretty much everything you say dr Mike. But something I do is the rotator cuff warmup. Did them wrong for years but fixed that. And now I've given it some thought. The way I see it, when I've done the 75s and want to do the 90s, and I have a tense burning sensation, doing the rotator cuff exercise really loosens me up for my heaviest set. And ima keep doing it for my warmup because I'll stay accustomed to doing this exercise atleast 2/3 times a week and it'll remain effortless
