Butt wink only matters if it's causing pain/increasing risk of injury or if it's a power leak. There are elite lifters who still do it and it's a complete non-issue.
How come you do lunges, which require stabilization, last? My guess would be they're best done early, so your fatigue doesn't make it harder for you to balance
You do them last to be able to use little to no weight, thus stability is less compromised. Doing them first would require more warm up sets because the quads would be much stronger without being pre-fatigued with hack squats.
Mike can you do a video about sissy squats? They seem like they should emphasize a stretch in the quads more than any other movement but I never see you talk about them on the channel
The proportions threw me off too, like is Dr. Mike way smaller than I thought, or is that bottle way bigger than normal? This is some Hollywood levels of trickery from Scott the video guy.
Dude, my buddies always get me at least once a gym session mid set with some off the wall bullshit that gets me laughing and I have to pause the set. "Moms make sons weak" is the type of shit they'd say.
I had my mate dropping the bench if I wasn't spotting. In a testosterone fueled voice " ichi, ni, San" On the fourth instead of shi I said in a high voice "they them" This shit all everyday. He got me back though.
I feel for you. My gym has a whole collection of Hoist Roc-It machines and I hate them. The whole Roc-It concept is so gimmicky and unnecessary. Thankfully they have other good machines as well.
Hey Dr Mike! Just wanna say that your full body male template in the metabolic training mesocycle is incredibly brutal and fun. Can't wait for the legs emphasis 😅😅
I have a question. I built my legs up in the last six months, but I'm ready to try cardio to start cutting body fat. I want to keep the muscles I earned. I keep hearing from people that if I do cardio, I will lose some of the muscle, and in the past, I did too much cardio and lost most of the muscle I earned. Can you tell me the perfect treadmill setting to lose fat? Such as the incline, speed, how long to walk, and how many times a week. I want to start the cardio in July. Thanks
Thought I'd share an anecdote from my own recent experience and suggest an alternative. I've been spending the last 6 weeks learning cleans, 2-3x a week. It is such a technical movement it requires 100's (probably more like thousands) of repetitions to really perfect and execute a proper clean. My cardiovascular endurance has absolutely increased and have burned fat just simply learning the technique with an empty barbell up to only 135ibs. Weight lifting is super dynamic and can be personalized to satisfy any goal. To sum it up, if you don't enjoy traditional cardio, try cleans! When you start to get good at them you can incorporate other movements, keeping the weight low (reducing systemic fatigue and more aerobic) such as push presses, hang cleans, power clean, push jerk, ect as well as develop your front squat (if you don't already) naturally through just cleaning. There are plenty of offbrand fitbit's (like at walmart) to track calorie expenditure and you can measure this against any cardio you may do. Also, calisthenics, more ab work will burn calories without gnarly systemic fatigue and not beat your joints up. I'd keep in mind, the vast majority of people who think they clean don't. Film yourself a lot and maintain a very high level attention to detail, frame by frame on your video. Filming yourself is the only way to ensure you are executing well and use only Olympic lifter form videos for guidance (just avoid crossfit). A mirror is not helpful with these at all. Anyhow, good luck on the cut.
@@salemsarni-gg7md@salemsarni-gg7md Thanks; I already found that info some time ago, and I'm on the right track. After a few weeks, I'm shedding, and the muscles are showing up.
I used to watch these workout "motivation" vids from fitness influencers and I never really got the point. Someone cheat curling 40kg dumbbells never made me wanna hit the gym immediately. Watching this vid, i understand that feeling for the first time now. You getting that last rep in at 11:50, eyes bloodshot, mid section almost bursting, quads fucking pumped as hell... that is true intensity.
When i do that people start staring at me and I'm not the roaring type since I workout quietly a few grunts here and there but not intentional. I guess it's just that jeezus christ he's really milking that thing like i already did my 6 reps and it's the last set but I'm feeling it so I make this decision when this urge to do more comes so I hit it another then another pausing each time ago and a little more intense till I turn red and veins in my head start popping. Feels good bruh, like pent up frustrations unleashed.
God no, the members content is awesome! Exclusive lectures, more specific topics and a bunch of extended cuts of great videos, plus a lot more direct training videos. Absolutely the best $6.00 per month I’ve ever signed up for
*That looks like a very gruesome, effective workout.* *The DB Lunge tip is amazing because I started doing them and focused on the front leg and took as much pressure off the backfoot as possible while going down slowly.* *That seemed very effective and stretched/pumped the shit out of my glutes but also my Quads, without impacting my rear leg too much but rather stretching my hip.* *Could barely lift myself up at the last rep.* *_Thanks for the info! It is very valuable if you are still unexperienced in many areas and try to ''make the lift harder, more intense''_* *_without adding weight to improve the technique, being able to go up in weight while having a effective form._*
Been watching for a while.... consider myself as an intermediate trying to get to advanced. With your videos and advice, I'm now growing like mad! sore AF as well but have random people ask me if I'm a competitor frequently. Utilizing your advice and wisdom has helped me turn the corner. Thank you 💙
On the lunges, I usually shoot my hips forward as much as possible in the bottom of the movement, kinda stretching the hip flexors, would you say that takes away from the glutes, I feel them getting a big stretch as well, but I've noticed you guys don't really do that, so just asking to check if it's on purpose.
I shouldn’t comment on this particular video - the neighbour chickens laugh at my legs. But Mike needs to work out a way to reward the disciples that spread the word and increase his fame, wealth, internet-based-self-worth. I’ve sent so many of my fat, sweaty mates to his channel and app….. It doesn’t have to be money. Just recognition of some sort. Bitcoin also works.
I wake up early and be as much active as I can during the day by the end of the day I am finished somedays I go to bed 7:30 some 8 the latest is 9pm I can't stay longer than that. I get up 4am
Had seen these hammy tips on six pack chick channel when Jared trained Victoria and I literally am sooo sore today love the slow, pause power with the lean forward, thank you!!!
Hey Mike, enjoying the content, I am curious about a trend I noticed lately in your training videos, though. I remember you used to advocate one exercise for up to six or seven sets, and then considering adding another exercise, should you train with more than 8 sets per muscle group. Lately though, your training consists primarily of various exercises for the same muscle group, each one of them performed for two, sometimes 3 sets. Is this a new approach you are taking, or was your old advice more of a suggestion for beginners, and not advanced lifters who need to target the muscle in various ways?
This session is the first session after an active rest phase, so the sets and effort are relatively low compared to the end of the mesocycle, by which time there will be more sets per exercise to higher intensity.
I'm so grateful for this period of time we get to watch Jared and Mike's camaraderie while they chase their bodybuilding goals and give us A+ information. What a great duo, and a great era
