THIS MENTAL CUE IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR UPPER BODY TRAINING (WITH DETAILED EXAMPLES) | BIG MIKE VAN WYCK 

Mike is the man, he has literally been explaining this video after video for years now. He doesn't give up easily. He's determined to teach this technique. Mike's training style is great. Wish i had been taught this years ago.

Mike- You may feel like your repeating things- but I like the repetition of the content topics because I continue to get a better understanding of your concepts. 👍🏻

Mike just answered a big question of mine I’ve had for years. He says you don’t contract the muscle yourself voluntarily. The muscle will contract in its own if the movement is right. So many times I’m trying to contract my chest and contract my lays on a pull down when I’m making it harder on myself. I just need to pull correctly and the lat will automatically contract. Always wondered if I should be voluntarily be aware of contracting a muscle

It never fails to amaze me how he never gets tired of explaining the same things cuz people are so caught up in their own ways... seriously huge respect to you, Mike.

Mike is the true 🐐💪🏻 He tells it like it is and explains what it means as you do the exercise!!

You need a manufacturer to sit down with you and make a few signature pieces of gym equipment!

Since I've started watching and using your technique my lifting has been way better. Better mobility and safer

The clarity with which I approach every exercise having watched your videos has added so much enjoyment to working out, for me.

Very well done sir. He dumbs it down so anyone can understand it even if you've never worked out. Keep them coming mike. Great job

you know what's funny, I've found in the past that thinking of it this way helped me but lost sight of that somehow. thanks for the reminder and lots of additional explanation lol

'' guy is giving birth '' to a new PR :))

Nothing but gold! Thank you

I hope to train with you one day, I literally applied your training ways to my training & it’s been only up from there 🙏🏽

Wat.een.vibe💪🏾!

I love this video I learned so much

Big Mike a 🐐. Preciate u bro 💯

Great video Mike.

brilliant

My dear Mike you are amazing 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Lol @3:00 in you had me laughing. Guys can give birth ! 😅

❤for🇮🇳 coach

Miracles talk is cheap new song out now ❤ mixtape tape out in may big up this channel

Man if I found this channel when I started lifting I feel like I wouldn’t have scoliosis.

In my home gym I find that partial bent rows and pull-ups are the best way for me to feel those opposing forces come together in my lats. I can make them burn. With full range of motion in those I lose the groove.

That simple thing of imagine bringing your chest up as u pull to engage your lats is huge get way better feel in lats

😖🔨🔨🔨 For that “trainer” 😂😂😂

Mikes metaphors and comparisons are hilarious😂

So I have to drive my chest forward or up INTO the pad when pulling? I’ve tried that. It obviously the opposite of pushing on a press and leaning back and pushing away. It just looks like Mike is leaning back and rocking backward when doing pull downs. I guess it just seems like that to the eye but the object is to try and push forward with your chest while pulling?

2:58 must have been that Matt Greggo tik toker in the background screaming on the back squat with zero hamstrings to show

😂😂 that guys giving birth!

The always sunny in Philadelphia episode where Frank is training that hot chick all wrong lmao

What I don’t get is if we don’t contract ourselves why do people or coaches give that “ squeeze” cue especially when doing chest? What are we “ squeezing?” Makes no sense

I need the charcuterie board chest program! 😂

This approach to training the "wycked way" changed everything for me personally Like reinvented bodybuilding for me 😊 just sayin

😂

This is the best explanation so far converging force ,perfect !

Men can have babies these days Mike (sarcasm).

Silliness….stop it. Copy Sam bro.
