IS USING MOMENTUM CHEATING? | MIKE VAN WYCK 

Sincerely, this might be the single most-valuable, smartest explanation of “proper lifting for hypertrophy” ever made- that I have ever seen in 20 years as a bodybuilder. I have been trying to explain this to clients for years- working as a trainer since 2004. All the kids criticizing Coleman, Cutler, Branch over the years- please see this video and take notes. Thank you, Mike, for putting this out and explaining it so eloquently.

Nothing makes my day better than a 20 minute video from Mike! 💪🏽

The “Horrible Shit”, that I’ve learned to recognise through your amazing and intuitively shared knowledge, is absolutely everywhere…I was guilty of it and thanks to you my training has come on so much, thanks Mike heal soon 👊

Wish I could train with Mike. The difference between "this is how you should be doing it" and "this is shit" are sometime subtle watching the video alone. I still wonder if I'm doing the movements correctly. Great channel, regardless.

I have been attempting to switch to your way of lifting. Old habits are hard to break. But I have felt more in my back and chest than I ever have before. Thanks for passing on your knowledge!!!!

So glad I found this channel. I'm learning how to train effectively without hurting myself, yet still grow. And at 63, that's priceless. Thanks Mike.

15:22 Glad to hear that I was doing something right. My knees into the kneepad sometimes made the machine lift but I was on the right path!

A 7 year old can have an outstanding understanding of what bigMike is describing.

I've never seen or even knew that you could lift with grace. Talk about professional lifting.

Awesome advice Mike! You’ve helped me understand movement and actually feel the lifts. Thank you! Also…that last part you said was hilarious 😂

I look forward to watching your videos when they come out and you never disappoint. So much knowledge. Appreciate all the content you put out.

Mike...your ad libs while you're moving weight are killer. I spend half my time watching your videos rewinding because I laughed through some of your advice. I love your content. It's crazy informative.

Appreciate the great advice and content you put out, your advice/tips have actually helped me a lot with a few exercises and the mind muscle connection

Appreciate the thoughts as always, Mike. Hope the hip is feeling better/things are moving along. Wish ya the best and will continue to integrate your concepts into my workouts.

It's the concept of quality movement & connecting on muscle which has helped me so much

1:15 onwards No wonder I get all sorts of upper back and neck pain when I use the seated chest supported row machine at the gym I go to, the thing has no where to place and dig your feet, so I just realized I was shoulder imbalanced when using it. Thank you Mike.

This fucking guy cracks me up every video. Always lookin forward to the new gem drop of the day/week. Keep em comin Big Mike! 💪

Great advice bro.. I caught exactly what you’re saying about power through the feet

Ohhh my god I laughed so hard about the birth statement bro 😂😂😂😂. Ty for saying what most people think anyways Mike. Keep doing your thing we all love the content!

amazing video the tips are impressive thanks mike have a good recovery

Started working the triceps with the cable alternating overhead and bent over and the stimulus is unreal using your technique. This channel has helped me so much with the movements, now im just loading correctly and going to form failure. One of the best cues for the lat row machine is that downward pressure, so key for feeling the low lat. Cheers!

Top man.. another very helpful video.

Thanks Mike like always great advice ♥️

Big Mike, Always keep the conversation going!!!!

Love your content and love that tee you have on Mike!

I wish I could train with you if even for only a couple minutes, your training method has helped me so much.

Development of 14-year-old haha. Big Mike kills me!!😂

This dude is pure gold

The question that ive had but been confused about for the last 15 years has finally been answered.

Awesome video!!! Absolutely, great workout at home without fancy machines. 95% of the guys of the world would love to look like Larry Scott.

🙏🏻💪🏼👍💪🏼 🥇All I can say is Your philosophy is top notch and I wish this is something I would’ve incorporated when I was younger I am 48 now and with your method I have actually gotten bigger faster than I did when I was a young buck continue the great content, And please don’t stop making videos the rest of the world needs to see this and understand this type of philosophy and training method🙏🏻👍💪🏼👍🥇

Love this channel👌

I started watching your channel a week or 2 ago after watching Johnni Shreve, and the amount of understanding I get from your content is gold. Thank you for doing this🤝💪

Thats how u can differentiate between bodybuilding and powerlifting. He is ocean of knowledge, take out as much as you can from him.. Thanks Mike ❤ That 18 minute 27 seconds part of lats posing was literally awesome 😂😂

The ending tho 😂😂 but thank you for the great advice. So helpful 🙏🙏

Thank you for Good info 👍💪💪Roger 🇳🇴

Mike is the new Rich. Love ya buddy!

I love this guy 💪🏼🤣

I’ve been in bodybuilding ever since the late 80s and one thing it always bothered me was seeing people with attitudes I mean really who are you there to impress. It’s like a competition just in the gym.

You speaking all facts OG! You funny too bro! lmao

Great, man! Thank you. Little hints that work in my gym with me and free me from the shit I was fed over the years. The last 5 seconds made me hysterical. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Another great video coach. Now how can we get one of those shirt please send info thanks again

Thanks coach

Thank you

“ i mean ARRRGH “ 😂😂😂 15:56

There are 2 former bodybuilders today that I know how to work out and move properly training is yours truly BIG Mike & Branden Ray. Look him up!

This man is underrated

Blocks under your feet will extend the machine so you can fully stretch before it bottoms out. Just make sure they're sturdy and not flimsy

Best wyck🥇🎖🏅🏆👍💰👑our greetings from Algeria 🇩🇿

A trainer at my gym, Patrick Diesel, really reminds me of you. When I told him that he laughed because you two have been friends since back in the Animal days

Hell Yes 20 minutes of insults I love it

I totally agree the misinformation that goes around is crazy , 😂😂😂 I seen exactly what u were talkin about other people tryin to tell someone else how to lift not even knowing what the hell they were doing. I shake my head a lot at the terrible form being performed

As long as momentum gives me results!

These fkn guy’s “errrrrr” lol 😂

Don't forget to do your t-bar rows everyone!

lmaoo 3:47 killed me

I really want that shirt

Where can i get the clothes he wears? I'd love to get my hands on that wycked krispies shirt!

Such a silly funny man @15:54

Where do I find that tshirt?

If nothing else, today I learned that men can give birth.

Anyone know what brand of shoes Mike is wearing in this video

Brother Mike, maybe that seated row was designed for the Wee-people, Leprechauns?

I always enjoy these. I see so much of this crap in the gym. Just as Mike explained, you'll see a group of people working out wit each other doing shitty form. Then be high fiving and chest bumping each other as if they've done something. Smh

Your current Split?

Lol... "wait till we get comments about that"

“ giving birth “ 😆

Looks good to me, that is how my body wants to move.

Not if it feels good for you. Everyone’s body is different and feels movements/momentum differently

LMFAO 3:50 🤣😂😅

💪🏽💪🏽👍🏽✊🏽

NikeShox!

I love your videos #1 for advice. But a close #2 is how you make fun of stupid practices.

When will we be able to support you by buying your sick shirts??

😂🙌🏼💯

Was that Brandon?! Lol

👍🏾

Damn I really believe if body building hard a comedy section you will be top dog…lol

12:50

laryngitis 🤣🤣🤣

Mike, I'm shocked to find out you didn't know that men could have babies.

19:30 did they have a boy or a girl? cigars for everyone

Haters are ai

Stop feeding the trolls. People dedicate their miserable lives to make your life miserable. And if you didn't finish the video, the funniest thing MVW has ever said was missed.

USING MOMENTUM IS CHEATING, EH?

The way I see it is Branch Warren and Johnny Jackson use momentum in every session and they’re elite body builders. Debate over.

I'm sure HD muscle appreciated you taking shit about their equipment.....

I don't think that you could pass yourself of as a 'doctor' .... ( Not a good example this time, sir)

Just show us how to do it properly Mike Forget the bs

You make yourself an easy target. You make your videos for such a small percentage of people where you just waste your breathe. These could be 3 minute videos but you rant about one specific thing that you saw that no one has any idea what you're talking about.

Hey you wanna come over here with me, now we can do horrible shit together 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fkn love Mike!
