Finished Your Program? Here's What's Next! 

Please include the calculation progress for new mesos based on previous meso data in the next updates. Doing it manually is such a pain.

Thats been the biggest pain for me with the app so far, I thought the app was going to restart my last meso with a logical progression, but I had to first copy the meso and then go back and forth between the old one and the new one to get the loads from week 1. This is a bit too manual IMO, hopefully in the future you can just re-roll your last meso with a percentage progression based on your last week performance, and then make your minor edits if needed.

Please put these app videos together as a playlist.

I'm three weeks into my first meso. I'm new to your training style but I feel like I'm making progress for the first time in years even when I thought I was trying hard. The app is helping a lot. Thanks for the hard work

I can’t say enough about the RP Hypertrophy app. It’s been such a huge help for me

Perfect timing, I'm in my deload week and was wondering what i needed to do next. Thanks Dr. Mike!

Finished my first year long programming, split into 6 month intervals about a month ago. I felt so lost and empty. I blasted through every goal that I'd set and felt as though I was training without a purpose. I was just spinning around in the gym during my deload, trying to figure out what's next. I tried programming a powerlifting program but you guys make that shit look easier that it really is. The more research i did, the harder it got to formulate something. Programming that stuff smart is tough. After watching this video, I think all I have to do, is just continue with what I was doing because it worked, focus on the technique more than I already have been and getting the reps up.

This is literally EXACTLY where I am right now. The RP prescience is strong! First full meso with the app really pushed me and I'm loving it! Great work guys, looking forward to more!

Big problem, in so tempted to select the longest cycle so I don’t have to reprogram an entire new cycle. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just let us have an option to recycle the cycle

Hey doc, do the previous mesos talk to the current or future ones? For example. The first week of your first meso makes you fill in the reps and the weights. If I complete a meso and make another does the last week of the previous fill in the next one? Thanks

Hey Mike, I would be glad to see video from you on this topic - Sometimes I workout and feel strong, good and generally workout feels great. And then next week, same day, same exercises - everything feel like crap. I'm not able to isolate the reason for it, diet is the same, sleep same. Not sure what is interfering. Thank you for great content!

I like the app, but since it's in beta I will tell you what I would have liked to see on the website (I have no issues with the fact that you're saving %30 from not having it as an app on the app store, but I would like to see some of those savings put towards r and d). Based on my experience so far, I would like to see: 1) automatic exercise selection *based on the equipment you have access to*. Me for example, I don't have a bench, only a barbell, some weights, a squat rack, and some dumbbells. I have to select my own exercises rn, which is so so. 2) I'd like to see the mesocycles progress in the same way that they do in those sample programs you have in the hyperthrophy landmark article series. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoy the app so far, I'm curious to how my physique will improve with the increased workout adherence I'm seeing from the convenience of the app in every other aspect.

I was literally looking for old video content last night about what to do at the end of my first mesocycle. Perfect timing Dr Mike! Also I LOVE the app!

For me as a beginner lifter it all sounds rather confusing. I wish it would just tell me when to to what without me needing to figure out how to dial stuff in. Don’t get me wrong I’m not just dumb (I have two degrees in chemistry and materials science hehe), but the amount of mental effort the app requires for the price you're asking is just to much 😢 I'm gonna be always anxious that I do something wrong and might get injured. Lil piece of custdev for you, dearest Dr. Mike❤️

I am starting a new meso cycle Monday, and a few things I learned in this video is going to help me grow. Excited to heard about new feature soon to arrive. What stood out to me the most is around the end of the video, when you said to keep exercise selections similarly to pass meso cycles. Because the app can tell, I interpreted the app will already have to weight from last to present cycle ready to go. ❤ MIKEY ❤

I’m currently using this app and I’m enjoying it. Looking forward to the updates! Thanks

I've been experiencing strange epiphanies of late. Chief among them was the following: Ideal is first and foremost achievable. I just cannot consistently track my food anymore, no matter the phase I'm in. It stresses me out. It fills me with deep dread even after an aggressive mass phase and two weeks of active rest and eating ad libitum. I can't step on a scale either. I have thoroughly fucked up my mind by focusing on my looks and weight. Nobody cares anyway. Nobody even notices I've gained fat and even if they did, they wouldn't care or comment on it. Now I'm just putting the absolute minimum of effort into my diet. I focus all the more on training, getting the most out of the least volume trough technique and tempo. If bodybuilding starts sucking the fun out of life, stop toning your body and start toning down unnecessary effort. That is my ideal goal right now. Just had to say it. Even though I went on a bit of a ramble there. Just one more thing... Of course you can always inject tren. Or if you're doing that already, inject more tren. It's easy, effective and extremely healthy for your body as well as your mind.

Very exited for the new function for personal trainers!

Dope. I'm almost finished with first meso and already I don't wanna train without the app.

hyped to know we'll be able to help train people with the app!

I finished meso 1 in the app and started my meso 2. I’m using many of the same exercises. Why doesn’t the app remember the weights and rep zones for repeat exercises? That would be nice

Just sign up for the app the last week. Looking good. Nice feature set and UI. My only issue though: it’s not an really an “app” now is it, since it’s all online. I would love to see an actual mobile app for this (iOS and Android, scaling for both phone and tablet as the web UI does). That way we can use it in offline situations. Personally, my signal is sketchy at my gym. Something in the walls and roof nuke my bandwidth. So makes using the “app” through a browser only a little frustrating.

Can you please reduce the cost? Geez $35 a month?

I used to have a lot lower ROM on squat (maybe they were partials, IDK) yet I switched to only doing full ROM squats and was annoyed about the weight/rep range. The technique is so true in terms of strength. Anyone can throw some bs around and feel impressed.

Perfect timing! Next week is deload with the app.

This video would have been key three weeks ago. I started meso 2 too heavy and the app has been hurting my feeling ever since. Any idea when the “stats coming soon” will be available? Also a suggestion to add a QRL link on the app to share the app easily with other people at the gym.

I lifted off and on played sports till about 42. Last November made a comeback. Never realized how much I missed gym past 13 yrs

This is great i can't wait to have all my clients coached on this platform

Loving the app so far, 3 weeks in!

So, I finished my first meso with the app 2 weeks ago, and it was great. I knew I should drop the load from where I finished to rinse and repeat on Hack Squats, but like an idiot, I did not do that. I stuck to the same load I finished the accumulation with but reduced reps to reach my RIR for week 1... I did 3 myo match sets of hacks and 2 sets of extensions on that Sunday and didn't recover until Saturday... whoops 😂. You live, and you learn, lol.

I've watched the whole series, and you haven't mentioned one feature I really want. Can the app make Dr. Mike yell at me in Russian? This would be very motivating and let me practice Russian, which I speak but haven't used much in years.

I have spent the last 6 months slowing down and improving my technique. I am only just starting to approach the weights I was using before.

Just finished first six week Meso. Enjoying the app so far. Love the AI auto regulation. Biggest thing is don’t BS it when it asks how you feel after the excercise.

Good lord I hate it when Sales promises features before we've event started working on them.

This really is the perfect program for people who wish to move on to the next level of their fitness program but don't live around larger cities where they have access to great trainers. Heh, it's also a heck of a lot more affordable. Adding the videos on both the ap and YT in general certainly makes doing things even simpler. It's funny, I received my first ISSA cert back in 2007 but it is still difficult for me to design programs for myself. I do exactly what I do not do when training clients. I switch exercises. I train...intuitively. Not switching exercises because something isn't working or is causing pain, but bc I don't feel like doing them that day which is *terrible.* Obviously with a trainer that rarely happens. You say _"Man, I am so not into power cleans today"_ and they say *_"Yeah great, now throw two plates on and warmup."_* Now the ap may not be as good as a knowledgeable personal trainer or coach since it does not yell at you, call you the pu5533 word (yet) or give you a spot, but it does help keep you accountable as if you aren't going to follow it then why are you paying for it? If making your own program and spreadsheets was working great then why did you choose to use it to begin with? Oh yeah, because it wasn't. Great program, exceptional adaptivity, though I would like to see more from the ap in regards to suggested weights. I've never seen the algorithms used so I can't make a specific suggestion, but having the program up the suggested weights would help _in my opinion._ If it is too much then you manually adjust, the program then knows it overshot, makes a digital note and lowers the expectations a bit the next time around. If it undershoots and you have to adjust up, same thing. I'm not saying it needs to be an AI based on forward backwards or forward forward algorithms you need 100 A100's to run. That's silly. For now at least. Once they get the forward forwards really tight and you can run 10 instances on an APU or 100 on a midrange GPU then perhaps...that's for later though. Right now more logical progression without user input would be cool, as would the chat between the programs as periodizing your diet to match your individual day would be fantastic. Progressive improvements would be my main goal for the ap though. Either way, there is nothing better on the market right now, and this tool can realistically help tens of millions of people in the US alone. Good luck and great work. Keep improving and doing your best, that's all anyone can do, and all anyone should reasonably expect (err, unless you lie and say you can do something you can't, but that's on you. Don't do that folks, it just makes you look silly.).

Dr. Mike, I would love to see you do a video on Sam Sulek and his training. Kid is a freak!

I up the weight once it has me doing over 20 reps a set

Morning Dr Michael!

Quick question here: Let’s say I did 200 lbs for 12 incline bench week one messo 1. Messo 2 week 1 I’m picking let’s say 205 lbs , should I go just for 12 again or go for target RIR?

My muscles grow just listening

Broke college student, strapped for cash rn, but as soon as I start my career, I'm going to get this app

A great series❤

What about volume? For example, a new meso might have me do a single set for hamstrings on a given day, but maybe I finished my previous meso doing 2 or 3 sets of that same exercise (and recovering properly). Is it better to increase load and go through the calibration process for volume again or just add 1-2 sets in week 1?

Can not wait to use this with my clients.

To be clear, my new meso should begin with increases from week 1, like 5% weight increase or more reps? Ignoring the increases i made later in the 1st meso?

I actually prefer to look back at my last 0 rir week at the end of last meso and then just decrease reps by 2 from that for my new meso (3 if it’s a iso lift). If I want to use a different rep range I use some calculator to convert it like 100x10 = 90x14.

The diet app is not available in all countries. I got a refund, this is not helping the Ferrari fund.

Take away: be conservative with marginal progression form meso to meso

Wait I don’t get it this app is literally makes me pick out my own workouts what is the point of paying for an app where I have to build my own program ? The whole point is that it’s supposed to have programs build into to also the interphase isn’t very user friendly

That's why I canceled my diet app subscription, I thought there was some sort of synchronization or pairing between both apps

Naturally possible ?? Debating small test cycle lol.... 5.11 200 lbs 15 % BF 170 FFmass Goal 200 lbs 10% BF 180 FFmass Puts the FFMI upto 25 not sure how likely it is I can gain 10 lbs of muscle on a recomp. If it's super unlikely what is a good small beginner cycle of test ??

Couple questions 1. Shouldnt Lats and upper back be seperate muscle groups? 2. When training a muscle 2x a week, how do you take the most advantage of the uneven rest period on either side of the week? One rest period is 3 days, the other is 4, the app asks how sore you got but what if i did more volume to get sore for 4 days and then it repeats it and then i stay sore for 3 days and am still sore into the mext training day? Is there any accounting for things like that

Im having a hard time trying to accuratly estimate 3 rir with a standardized technique, more so with lateral raises etc I end up going closer to 1 rir. Is it a big deal if it sometimes happens? Im using the app and im enjoying it. Thanks!

Kinda surprised by the two weeks of active rest, I usually do more of just a week off entirely and start up again and feel great.

Can you please make the App accept paypal or gyrocards? I dont have/dont want to get a credit card just to buy the app

Any thoughts on putting gym limitations in place that you can select maybe from a grid? If I could tell the app that I dont have a smith machine or I only have up to 80 pound of dumbbells to deal with. I feel like it would be handy to get a some suggestions that would be equipment minded. Maybe I'm not thinking about a great exercise I could use or I'm missing it in a long list. This might be too much fiddling around inside the program but it would be handy off the bat. I'm sure this is geared towards people with better gyms but some of us have to do what we can with what we have.

Hey Dr Mike, do you think a powerlifting block is worth it, purely for phase potentiating hypertrophy by increasing strength in core lifts? If so, would you design it slightly differently than a pure powerlifting block, like with 5-10 rep range instead of 1-5 for injury prevention?

Whatever happened to Q&A with Dr. James?

Again, if I’m hypocaloric for a 12 week cut, how do I prevent a deload from screwing me, muscle-wise?

Is there any chance youd do a video on how to use the app to specialize muscle groups? Planning on doing 3 or 4 muscle gaining phases in the next 2 years and would like to use all my recovery to focus on one to two muscle groups per phase

So awesome 🎉

I’m think of buying your app/programs but was wondering if it’s just for bodybuilders or would there be programs for soccer players ?

We need some free trials on the app doctor mike

Meso creator for clients is 🔥

As a beginner going 3 times a week, can I go to the gym every day that Im not working out just to train the movement or technique? Im a bit OCD about it and I feel bad if my exercise technique is trash.

Thumbnail with crazy scalp gainz

I already purchased the female training and male training template ugh 😩

So i somehow purchased the program without inputting my email. Says it sent the download link to my email hit i dont have it... i dont know what to do.

I'm waiting for the point the Diet app and the Hypertrophy App will be one. At that point I will pay for it but not atm.

Can you make an analysis video on the rios twin philosophy

Hey Dr Mike, can l put in my old template in to the app? I bought the Quad focus temp long time ago, Will there come a option for that or do we customize it our self?

I’m disappointed there isn’t a yes please option under sex.

the app is truly revolutionary

@RenaissancePeriodization when you say don't go over 3 for maintenance, is this just normal calorie maintenance or training 'desensitisation' maintenance? E.g. I'm eating at maintenance following a cut before going into a mass phase and have been letting the app increase sets to 4,5,6 etc. Should I be capping at 3?

I don't know if it happens to other people, but when I train legs, after doing squats or deadlifts, I can't manage to do many sets of complementary exercises because I start getting very painful cramps in my quadriceps that prevent me from doing enough sets. Is this because I'm doing too many sets of squats or deadlifts? Normally, I do 10 sets of 5, and it doesn't seem like too much volume to get cramps so quickly. Could it be due to my diet? What type of foods should I prioritize to improve the performance of my legs? Do the cramps means the end of the training session? Please help!

i want to train like you doc

So if on Monday i have back Chest tricep workout Tuesday i can i do lags Biceps shoulders traps so i just keep Continuing ??

This is Planet Fittin' niss whole medical degree in my back pocket.

I know this is called the hypertrophy app, but can you build a strength program or peaking program on it in those pre-made mesos?

What's the difference between this app and juggernautAI?

What sex should a trans man on testosterone (i e female on testosterone) register themselves as in the app? (Obs: not an SJW by any means, just asking because I’m uncertain as to whether volume tolerance is more affected by biological sex than by exogenous sex hormones or vice versa. I’m happy to register myself as whatever sex will yield me the best results.)

What does the app do differently if you select a different sex?

Hey doc, how did you develop your lower back so much? Is it only exercises for the erectors?

God damn thats some big lat muscles.

Unable to download the app in the UK, is it blocked here?

Dr. Mike looks like one of the Thumb Thumbs from Spy Kids

Dr Mike says he feels female today I guess he’s taking a rest day from being male 😂

How can a meso be longer than 4 weeks? So if you start your meso at 3 RIR and finish at 0 RIR that would be 4 weeks and than deload. How can I make it longer? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I’ve grown 210!bs since I was born.

i just double the working weight and pass it on to the next person.

Cool App but it cost more than my gym membership LOL

👍👍👍

✝️💪

There should be a yes option next to sex.

"Choose a sex" None for me thank you

I don't just love or am in love with it.....I make love to it. And it makes love to me.

Yeah its not an app 😂

I'm sorry I like this guy n site but if u have to pay for an appt to keep track of training program. That's crazy. Unless it's for motivation like hey I'm paying for this I better go gym. Then ok. But come on

Pene ❤

Can't wait for someone to pirate the app. No hard feelings, the price is just too much for me.
