    Been watching you religiously for 3 weeks now. I know, short time, but the amount of knowledge you deliver in every video without any fluff, amount of knowledge I’ve gained in lifting feels like am entirely new person in the gym. I signed up for RP app, not easy thing to do as I’m generally a skeptic of any of these programs. These videos are like a crash course in working out. True sign of a great educator, you look forward to each thing you are going to learn from this guy AND you can apply the knowledge immediately. Unreal this is free on TH-cam 😂

      That program is not healthy, leads to overtraining, over tiredness, fatigue, with bad consequences for eyes, nerves, all health. The only good thing I see is the one week total rest . Resting is equal important. 50% percent importance, just like the training. No need to grow fast. But healthy . I am 47y old, I will stick with the magical 3 days rest after training days. I heard it at Mike Mentzer, and I think is good. I don't intend to become a champion, just to look better, to be stronger. BUT, OF COURSE, I WILL LISTEN WITH Interest ALL YOU SAY, AND SAY I HEAR Interesting THINGS. SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

    The thing that’s helped me the most is the deload. I was training six days a week, for four months or more. Tired, and then, foolishly, most of it in a caloric deficit, because I was so obsessed with getting below 15% body fat. But the good doctor here, used a little bit of science and a lot of logic, and helped pull my head out of my rectum. Now I am small surplus, and every four weeks I take a week off, and it’s amazing, how quickly you put on muscle when you’ve given your system a chance to rest.

      Shoot, I'm 6'2/183lbs, in my 40's and would love to be anywhere close to 15%. I lost a bunch of weight, and put on a lot of muscle, but I struggle to get below 18%. Although I'm also using a smart scale to calculate bf which probably isn't the most accurate method. I'm just glad I'm on this path now. I look completely different than I did a year, and a half ago, and have dramatically altered the direction my life was going. While most people go out for drinks on Friday night, you'll find me in the gym lifting heavy $hit

      Weird how rest appears to be the key to your growth yet you wait 4 weeks before you provide your body with it. I went 6 days a week for a long time with deloads in place. Went to 3 on 2 off 1 on 1 off and man, i have had significant improvements. No longer chronically fatigued, no longer waiting for the deload to see changes etc. Everyone is different and i get that but if rest is where the magic happens, then why arent we resting more often.

I do more in less time, I feel pumped and sore after the workouts and way more motivated. I also pay way more attention to form and not just “move weights around”. Very much love the ability to adapt / replace exercises as needed. Having a virtual coach that keeps you on track is brilliant. Supported by the knowledge (and humour) shared in these videos - game changer. Thank you Dr Mike and team!

    Really appreciate all the knowledge you're putting out there. Just finished a 3-mesocycle gaining phase based on your content, and put on ~10lb or so (water weight fluctuations make it difficult to be sure) over 15 weeks. Taking a couple of weeks of deload/eating at maintenance to drop some fatigue, and then hitting a cutting phase for the fall to end up back at my starting weight, with more muscle and less fat, around the holidays. Feeling pretty good about it so far. Thanks!

    My huge mistake was not taking deload weeks properly, overtraining screwed me over.
    I trained 5-6x a week for months while not seeing progress and thought I was not training hard enough while I felt incredibly fatigued, out of energy, etc. I was so long in that state I completely forgot what feeling rested actually felt like. Got extremely sensitive to injuries.

      Something I recommend doing as well is doing other sports that keep you active but are less intense and work the muscles in different ways: swimming, football, etc.

    Apart from the sets per session and the fact that I'm cutting calories instead of eating an excess, Dr. Mike has just described my new routine that I've been doing for one month (I'm 42, 6'1, brand new to training and about 40lbs overweight). The reason I've set it up like this is because it's easiest to adhere to as a daily habit and keep the sessions short. I was really confused yesterday because I've gone down two holes on my belt but my weight has barely changed (maybe a pound down). I have, however seen huge changes in my body (particularly arms and shoulders) and it's just dawned on me that in 4 weeks I've added almost the same weight in muscle that I've lost in fat! I thought that this was impossible and maybe the scale was broken but I double checked on another one and got the same result! For what it's worth, I can attest to exactly what Dr. Mike is saying - doing all these things will change you up FAST! I really can't believe how quickly these changes have come, especially at 42! Thanks Dr. Mike, you are putting out GOLD!!!!

    A similar video to this with a "minimalist" approach would be greatly appreciated, for people that are relatively happy with the mass they have but would like to make at least some gains every year. Another question would be how to evaluate an activity like rock climbing as volume, I have reduced my back and biceps volume in training because I cannot recover from both at 100%, but I wonder if hard climbing can be counted as some volume towards hypertrophy. Thanks and keep up the great work, always very insightful!

      Grow slower?
      Stretch marks means you are growing faster than your body can make new skin to accommodate. Unless you are working out while dehydrated, there's really nothing you can do about it. Some people have really stretchy skin that doesn't ever get stretch marks even if they balloon up to 300lbs. And others like myself get stretch marks every time I gain 10lbs of muscle/fat even in the healthy bmi range. Definitely screwed with my head when I hit puberty and all of my skin was purple and wavey.

    Love optimization videos like this! I would love to see more of this kind of content. Question about training 6 days a week though, what kind of training split would be the best option for this? For example, as a natural lifter, I’m always training heavy full body 3 times a week due to my busy schedule, and usually most sessions are 8 exercises that allow me to hit every muscle group 3 times a week and which take 2 hours and a half to complete. I’m always driving for 2-0 RIR and aim to increasing reps or load every week. Recovery is already a bit of a challenge, wouldn’t 6 times a week be overkill?

    • @iarlacomedy
      @iarlacomedy 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      To gain the most muscle fast, you'd need to make your sessions smaller/shorter and have more of them. A full body type workout, or one that hits three separate body parts at least over maybe 5 exercises means you'll be able to hit each body part 2-4 times a week.
      My current split for example on Day 1 has: Bench press, incline flies, leg press, Calves and reverse curls. 4 sets of everything except flies which are 3 sets. 19 sets overall for the workout but I hit chest for 18 sets a week for example.
      This is actually on the low volume side but I hit everything 3 times a week minimum and 4 times for the things I'm specialising in. The specialist muscles also get hit first in the workout.
      I'm a natural lifter too and am competing in my first bodybuilding competition in August.
      **These set numbers are week 1 of the mesocycle, and will be subject to increase as it progresses.
      Hope this helps :D
      PS. If anyone sees something wrong with what I'm doing please let me know so we can discuss it!

    • @russelllaros6016
      @russelllaros6016 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      push, pull, leg, push, pull, legs, rest is a common 6 day split that works well (and the one that most of the RP guys use if I'm not mistaken). This ensures that you hit all muscle groups at least twice per week and have at least 2 days of rest between sessions that hit the same group. Session only need to be 5 or so exercises (ex: Push - chest, chest, shoulder, tricep, tricep | Pull - vertical pull, horizontal pull, lat or shoulder isolation, bicep, bicep | Legs - hamstring, quad, quad, abs or calves, forearms or traps) which should only take about 45 to an hour to complete. The general guideline is that you should work your muscles hard enough to be sore right up until your next session that works those muscles. If you did chest on Monday and it's still sore on Thursday when you go to hit it again, you over did it. If you hit quads on Wednesday and you were barely sore the next day or not sore at all, you probably should add more sets.

      @@iarlacomedy Thanks for the tip! Would love to know more about your workout plan to see how you organize everything. Personally, I would love to do less exercises with the most gains, but my fear is developing an imbalance. I used to do only the main lifts and completely disregard certain important isolation exercises and suffered some injuries along the way because of it. Since then, I start trying to keep my workouts well rounded and haven’t had an issue since. But again, this led me to doing a ton of exercises per session. I could possibly squeeze in a fourth day, but 3 days for the most part is what I got to work with at the moment.

However, I am really seeing progress in my lifts at this point, even more noticably than when I started, and not sure if I should cut or not... I originally intended on cutting around this bf%, but not sure if I should keep going? Relatively new to lifting, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
