Hot or cold, wind or calm, rain or shine, the work gets done. Period. Still using this quote from your covid training video. Still motivating as fuck! Godspeed lads
Hey Dr.Mike, I’ve been implementing Myo Reps into my workouts ever since you mentioned them and I love doing them. Is there any chance we can get a full in depth video regarding Myo Reps?
I like show day. We've all suffered, now it's time to cut lose and have fun competing. I've always made great friends at shows. Community and culture of bodybuilding is what it's all about. Encouraging and challenging each other is a prime motivator. Seems like any trip I go on there's someone I friended at a show that's close enough to meet for a workout.
Have you considered applying the Myo Rep principle across all your exercises, but modifying it to adhere to the Doggcrapp training methodology of a clearly defined period of fifteen deep breaths of rest between each rest pause set. If you avoid lower rep ranges, it is safe, and you can manage/manipulate your volume by how many main sets you perform, but also how many rest pause sets you perform after each one of these. You get so some much stimulative work in a short period of time. I do this, and it’s absolutely the most effective training I’ve ever done (I compete in masters in the UK). Just a well intentioned suggestion, but what you are doing is clearly working extremely well. You all look like Dragonball characters. Keep up the good work!!!
Why wouldn't you use your phone in between sets? Are you going to spend time looking at the wall for several minutes? What if his tracker is on his phone?
@@ProphetFear Yeah with the short time I figure it’s the tracker. I prefer to do a written journal but right now I’m doing it on my phone so after every set I’m taking 15-30 seconds to type the reps, RIR or if I myorepped and what not.
why wouldnt you use your phone between sets? what kind of weirdos are looking at what everyone else is doing in the gym and judging them? I don't care if a guy is on his phone with his cock out posing. If he goes into a far corner, then good on him.
That competition talk was great... really, i feel the same way, i mean, while everyone was rambling on backstage and with "angry" face i was so happy just to be there, to overcome 20 weeks of a fat loss phase ( i didnt even tought about competing) i just did it lol, and got bitten by the stage bug! hell i wont ever be a top bodybuilder but i'm for sure going into a 1 year + long improvement season and do a way better showing! not for the others but to prove MYSELF i can put on mass
I haven't scoured this channel's catalogue in its entirety yet, so forgive me if I'm asking for what's already been given. However, can we get some show footage of the Team Full ROM lads in competition, flexing and proving to the world that science and *definitely not drugs* reigns supreme?
I used to ohp a lot, and was mythically strong at it, but the SFR is just not ideal for me, unfortunately, so I opted for less of that kind of work. - Dr. Mike
I have a question. Isn't doing triceps push downs before the bent bar press just completely burn your triceps? I think that the limiting factor in the bar press will be the triceps. Is this correct? What do you guys think?
Give it a try and see how it feels for you. I've done 2 tricep moves before DB bench and my chest was still the limiting factor for me. Only 1 way to find out! Enjoy! 😃
@@Mixo1998 Yeah it’s all about specific loads. The load for them is light enough and sometimes, like bench, people tend to use the arms more than having the mind muscle connection to their pecs. When something is pre exhausted and the load isn’t great enough to require everything, you’ll find yourself using the proper muscles out of necessity instead of getting away with not using your primary movers. I feel like the bench is one of the most obvious for me because I REALLY KNOW when I’m using more arm than pec. It just feels abundantly obvious and I imagine it’s the same for anyone else who has connected with their pecs in a bench press.
Oh maaaaaaaaan,,, another video I will have to pause and replay in all the available slower speeds for reps and reps, before I actually start listening to something
None of these men want to lift at all today. And that’s the way it should be, get the fucking work done to get the results you want even if you can’t be fucked doing it 👌🏻🔥
When I broke my foot I was actually a bit relieved I didn't need to train calves for 8 months (the break I had prohibited calf training for 8 months lol).
Did you notice a difference in size? Dave Marconi from the Brains and Gains channel trained only one calf for a year and not the other, no increase or decrease in size!
@@Omar1066 yeah, my skin was all lose on my right calf (the broken foot) and when I touched it there was no firmness of the muscle just the fat lol. The left one didn't have much change at all because I used it to walk on while the other was in a boot. I remember taking baths and feeling my calf and how loose the skin was. But the good news is that it only took like maybe 8-10 weeks before I was almost exactly at before the accident.
I trained calves for the first time 2 days ago. I'm in marching band and I'm obese, so my calves are already pretty strong. I thought that I was just going to be a little sore the next day. Yesterday I went to bed with tears in my eyes. My mom was so worried she gave me a muscle relaxer. The muscle cramps and spasms were so bad I thought I had rhabdo. Nope. Turns out I'm just a little bitch. Train your calves people.
@@RenaissancePeriodization Makes sense. You think you can do a video on how to interact with the judges and how the NPC/IFBB pro League work from a competitor's perspective?
Is there a reason Jared does pushdowns with elbows behind the body and the other bros don't? Just noticed that...or maybe it's the angle of the camera.
This may be quite a random question for this channel, but since it was mentioned in the video I might as well ask anyway: Dr. Mike, what 3 bits of advice would you give your younger and not so self-confident self about public speaking?
He'll probably say something along the lines like what's your mesocycle like. What's the volume, posture, breathing, technique, sleep, hydration? And how often are you hitting them a week in terms of frequency. Lol, practice builds self-confidence, in the end no one cares, and they'll move on, otherwise why does it even matter, just start somewhere, best if you make it non volunteer, that way you force yourself to prep, timeline, responsibility and ownership.
How should someone Start Training After COVID-19 ? I have catched the virus (really mild symptoms) and Wonder what i should do After ten days ? I wanna Train and feel like it but still positive:/
Dr Mike, do you have any advice for improving public speaking/ stepping on stage? Stage-fright is a massively common fear/ source of anxiety for many people. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on managing it. Great video as always.
Dr. Mike, on the triceps pushdows with myo reps do you do normal rest period for the first straight set? like 1 to 2 minutes, or just use myo reps rest times for every set?
Dunno about Dr. Mike, but traditionally at least 1 set near/at failure, then normal rest period, then next set to failure, 10-15 secs rest, begin myo reps.
