Lowkey funniest guy in the fitness industry

I just finished reading "You Are Stronger Than You Think" by Borlest and I'm thrilled! The book offers detailed, science-backed methods for naturally increasing testosterone, which is essential for men's health and vitality. It explains step-by-step how to improve your hormones, energy, and overall health through changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle.

Chicks love abs I don't care how many times they say they prefer dad bods.

Loved the last episode with this comedian

After working out for many years, I finally got abs in my early 40s by closely monitoring my calorie intake and staying in a deficit for months. The layer of belly fat covering your abs is the most stubborn of all body parts. I lost weight in my face, arms, back and legs before getting truly visible abs. You truly have to master your diet to get abs. Building muscle and exercise in general is the easy part.

I got my abs in my 50’s by intermittent fasting and clean diet. I also focused on core strength exercises. It’s 80% diet 20% exercise, 100% commitment 💪🏼

I love this guys humor. Sarcasm king

Funny how much better Mike looks in your lighting compared to his own.

This guy is actually hilarious I'll be watching more of him

Can’t believe you got Kurt angle on the podcast, that’s awesome!

80/20 has become 95/5 in most areas lately.

I thought I just had to buy one of those machines that zap my abs while I keep eating.

Another podcast with Dr. Mike!! Let’s go!!

Dr Mike is my absolute favourite guest on this show. The dude has me in stitches laughing.. God only knows what goes on in his head haha

Glad to hear Mikes comment about the ab wheel. I love that thing.

Great content delivered by an elite fitness comedian!! RESPECT

Ah nice, full podcast gonna be fire like last time 💪🏼😤

Whoa whoa whoa, new Dr. Mike episode? LETS FUCKING GO! Unironically my favorite fitness personality and Jewish internet dad.

Glad to see him back in the podcast!

In my opinion Mike and Will are the best of the best in the fitness industry. It’s not even close

RP literally changed my life

Working on getting my abs bigger and thicker now

Thanks for bringing him back on Chris looking forward to the full episode ❤

I'm paraylzed at t6 level so my abs don't function like normal but I still have them due to keeping diet in check.

I love this guy

He needs to be an even more regular guest.

Dr Mike is the epitome of “intellectual honesty “ - nothing but respect for this guy in that point alone.

Dr. Mike let’s see those abs!!!💰💰💰

Legit smart dude

There can never be too much Dr Mike

Chris doing the jujitsu pose is hilarious.

Is there a new Dr. Mike episode coming?!

Who else here would pull Dr. Mike and Chris into a club😉.....the weight room club.

love this guy. so funny it's refreshing. and what a helpful knowledge about the abs. this actually reasures what works for me - just keep a nice weight and do general resistance training - got nice abs without much special workout for them.

Awesome! Last night i heard their podcast for the 3. Time and was hoping they would do it again soon. Brilliant! 🙌

Doctor Mike is the best, knowledgeable and funny

It should be noted that the visibility of abs can vary from body to body, depending on how fat is apportioned on your frame. You could have two people, both who have 12 percent body fat, and one guy can see his abs while another one won't. This is because fat, even at the same percentage, distributes differently between people. For some people a disproportionate amount of fat will be deposited in the buttocks, allowing for less fat accumulation in the abs and, therefore, greater ab definition. Conversely, someone with the same 12 percent body fat will have most of it distributed along his torso, meaning he would have to go far below 12 percent to see visible definition on his abs. You see this fat distribution difference among people, and even, on average, between racial groups. South Asian guys and gals, for example, on average, have to get much leaner than their Caucasian or Black counterparts because South Asian people generally carry a higher portion of their fat in their mid section.

Hell yeah! Love when mike is on I learn so much

Love this 😅🎉 amazing 95/5! Yep

Is this a new episode about to drop!?

Dr Mike is hilarious, also knows his shit. Love it 💪🏻💪🏻

so strong and intelligent and articulate. men should aspire to that

I just love that guy 😀😀😀

But how to build muscle in a caloric deficit.

Hitting the big 40 next June and Im shit at keeping promises.. I really wanna keep this one tho, and thats get abs.

It's mostly diet. You can train your abs all day long and never see them if you're fat. Also, your abs will grow from holding your back straight and tensing your core while you work out. You don't even need to work them if you diet and lift properly.

I'm a soccer player and you can see my abs under the right lighting and me flexing but damn i want them to be visable without me flexing. Been doing it all wrong. Going to get a roll wheel right now on Amazon!

I think it's always better to train them no matter what either way

Is this the second time Dr Mike is on? Looks like a different set

Chris, I’d be interested to hear more more about your Sibo FODMAP journey. So many people are going through this, and it would be interesting to hear from your perspective.

I hardly 'train' abs, because I train Jiu Jitsu 3-4 times a week, so I assume that's enough to keep my abs fatigued enough to grow or whatever. I still get hanging Leg raises done from time to time. But after hearing Dr. Mike say you need to train them like every other muscle group, has made me think maybe I should be hitting them a lot more often in the gym. Interesting stuff.

we love dr. mike

What body fat % do you need to be at? 18?15?

Well-defined abs are actually a great and cheap (time-wise) way to "look" more muscular quickly.

It's wild to see people saying everything you've been saying for years. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed at myself for not being confident enough to post more.

Nice shirt again Chris!

Tremendously intelligent man.

Dr Mike !!! Is the best

Jockos brother is fuckin crazy 😂.

Didn’t know Jocko had a brother!!

We need another Doctor Mike ep, but this time more on his philosophical takes - like in his 2nd channel 🙌

8:51 it stops my airflow? Great.

dr Tapasa Warrior from berserk

i love Chris's jujitsu move lol

Dr. Mike is a beast.

Keep it simple. Cut sugar. Abs wheel until you can do 5x standing.

1:59 "The cool thing about that is you have a really small-" ...and at this point, my youtube paused to buffer

Watching this while being jacked already

I think Chris missed the guy's point that training abs can cause them to protrude in an unappealing way, 'pouch' as he said. So I think it comes down to your build... if you have lordosis or your lower stomach sticks out a bit just by curvature, then probably skip abs, if not, no harm in working on them.

(M 5’9” 145lbs) Working on getting my abs to really pop now. I’m pretty lean all over except for my abs. Currently in about a 500-700 calorie deficit per day. Lifting weights every other day and cardio on the non lifting days. 20k+ steps every day. it’s going incredibly slowly. Literally hangry 24/7, sleep is terrible, systemic fatigue/mental fog is pretty extreme atm. Can’t wait to be done with this cut.

Is this Nemo’s dad?

If you need to get your abs popping and you don't train them, do it for a few weeks prior to showing off. The metapump is definitely a thing.

Hey guys! Guy with great abs here! Also obliques and everything.... answer is dont eat! For metabolisms like mine it's calories. They're there.... it just matters how much fat covers them. As soon as I start drinking beer for any length of time they go away... that's me. I'd also suggest incorporating windshield wipers into you're ab routine. Also I'd say train abs hard once a week after upper body. I've found that to be the best

Hi Michael!

How do you maintain a caloric deficit? I understand you can do that for some days or weeks. But if you do it long term, you die. Surely he means caloric deficit until you see your abs, then net zero calories?

If Joe Rogan and Chris Will had a kid he would look like this:)

Play a *competitive* sport and focus on winning. It hurts for an hour or two 5-6 days a week, but you can eat pretty much whatever you want.

I really don’t agree with the “if you train them or not it doesn’t really matter” i do years of dieting and training and stuff and i used to never really train abs. Now i do 3 sets of really heavy abwork to failure and boy do these pop alot more than they used to

I don't know why I see Phil everytime I seen him lol

I've always joked that i have abs, they are just hidden under a protective layer of fat. Glad to know i wasn't wrong. 😂😂😂😅😢 I'm working on it.......

Alot people dont want put the effort cause it takes time get a six pack you have to go to that dark lonely place 95 percent people' want a short ut but dosent work like that

Liposuction and skin removal.

Sounds knowledge. I think he likes the sound of his own voice. No need for a 9 min answer.

1:31 fresh

Abs take consistancy. In diet and in training. Its easy… but hard to do

I can feel the testosterone in his voice man I am drowned

He sounds like jocko

best abs training = sprinting

6:50 you talk this way and good genetics exist. I’m fat veins abs

I can only see my abs vaguely after deadlifting. After that, good bye 😂

This guy looks like Jocko Willink :)

If you switch the first two letters on his shirt it says abdomen.

yeah, some of us are genetically gifted and will have abs at 15-20% bodyfat. some people need to get under 10%, some less. i can never have abs because i grew up fat and now have loose skin. k fine there's surgery but i'm not that vane

Abs visibility are primarily genetic, Proof👉Had a friend that didn’t do nothing special in the gym or diet, and he had awesome abs.

Another one

my abs are genetically beautiful i train them but not for hypertrophy and the magic of abs is walking walking walking 5 miles a day by 15% body fat youy can literally see improvements every day! don't go for huge abs go for sharp definition like soap bars IF NOT IT'LL LOOK LIKE POLUMBOISM

You mean the 37 secrets!

😂😂”Nnnnear Universal”

Don't eat.
