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 😂
Keep on it bro, hang with Dr Mike and you;ll get jacked!!!!
Welcome! RP basically offers a free catalog of lectures that are equivalent or better than a degree in exercise science or body composition change science 👍
Yo Dr Mike
Can we get a review in the iron neck ?
Jiujitsu guy so interested in neck train
Thanks for great content
Thank you so much for the kind words. The videos will continue as long as I'm able! - Dr. Mike
Dr. Mike goated, listen to him and u will get all the gains u can achieve
Everytime I watch Dr Mike, my lower muscle grows insanely quick
Same, full homo (I’m straight, I think)
Lolol
You’re not supposed to inject there. 🫨

It's called 'the love muscle.' Though it's not a muscle and love is definitely not required to use it. - Dr. Mike
Wait, how am I supposed to grow muscle without V-Shred body type quiz???
Yeah, what about your body type? 😂
What if you wanted to go to heaven (running on the treadmill to lose fat), but god said “imma jump in this pool”
😂😂😂
💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1. Train 6 days/week
2. Train each muscle 2-4 times/ week
3. Train each muscle between 3-0 RIR and 4-10 sets per workout
4. Add weight / reps every session
5.DELOAD!
6. 1G per lb of bodyweight per Day
7. Eat 4-5 times/ Day
8. Eat in a 250-500 caloric surplus
9. Sleep Enough
10. Be CONSISTENT!
Not all heroes wear capes!
My guy 💪🏼
I bet you wear a cape, hero.
My mother doesn't love me😔
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.
It works with TRT that’s for sure. I’m doing it
Watching this video on 2x speed so I build muscle doubly as fast as possible
Finishes video, looks at body, doesn't notice any change, plays video again in 4x speed. - Dr. Mike
@@RenaissancePeriodization Every 4-8 weeks, have a deloud & watch video back but take things way low and back down to 1x speed 😆
@@RenaissancePeriodizationim conflicted because I really want to do this method but Ive just watched a video where you warned against more than 3 sets per muscle group. Is this way still valid?
mote than 3 exercises. he probably misspoke if you heard that. @soundistraveling
If i had Dr. Mike as a professor at school, i would never skip class, never miss a lesson. I would pay attention to every single word. So knowledgeable and very interesting. Learned so much from you even though ive been training for 18 years. Thanks Dr. Mike

@@TTGTanner Also your love making playlist is suspiciously short. Good to know Tanner.
@@johnreed2272 yeah but the infared cooling paint video goes hard and is 25+ minutes long!
Thank you!!! - Dr. Mike
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.
Thanks Doc
From old man
Yeah I used to do that too, often would come back after a week needing to increase every exercise weight too
Have the same problem started to watch Dr. 2 weeks ago and gonna start my first Deload week next week.
Deload isn't a thing here in Balkan region where I live and I just don't get it how SO MANY people I know say whenever they can't go to the gym for a week their performance skyrockets 🤣 And yet it hasn't occurred to them it's exactly because of the time off they had
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.
You run the best fitness channel by far man.
Thank you! - Dr. Mike
This video is coming out swinging. You seem to be in a different temperament, but it was very strong, to the point, valuable, and concise.
Thanks, Dr. Mike. Hope all is well!
Yeah this is the most definitive, no nonsense, to the point information and I think Dr. Mike's temperament is purposely reflecting that. He's signalling that he's absolutely serious about this.
Yeah man totally thought the same thing as you both 💯💯💯 it's kinda weird without the sex jokes tho 😂
Probably low carbs
No bullshit attitude for a no bullshit video. He gave all the major points on how to get jacked fast. Even if you don't understand all the nuances behind these 10 points, if you follow everyone one, you will make GAINS
Great observation, I was thinking the same thing. He was not playin'. I think he was shooting for max credibility to distinguish from, ya know, other content creators who publish....total crap?
The app is so damn valuable not just for the athlete but for coaches as well. Having this level of accuracy and feedback, consistently. Helps you truly find the best exercises, the amount of volume per body part, etc.. killer shit.
I tried downloading the app but got some shitty pdf file.
Love the videos and also signed up for the RP Hypertrophy App and it has changed the way I work out. After years of mocking around I finally see progress. 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!
Outstanding video ! Straight to the point and firm. No bs guide to building muscle.
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!
solid work bro! congrats!
How the fuck are you training a muscle 3 to 4 times a week and improving
Sounds like a great plan hope it’s working well for you 🙂🙌🏻
Got your app and love it. Your no BS, science-based approach is exactly what I am looking for.
Extremely good, well integrated, even-handed pitching of the app in this video. Just enough to be informative, not enough that I feel like it's being pushed on me.
I have about 20 tabs open on my browser, all of them are of your channel. Soaking up as much information as possible. Love the content and humor, kudo's to the whole RP crew, appreciated!
You could add to queue or save to playlist. Much more efficient for your computer.
This is great! A no-nonsense template that gets right down to brass tacks. I'm definitely sharing this.
Thanks for everything Dr. Mike, there is so much BS on TH-cam, but that does not describe you and your team. I am a 50-year-old male and I am on my 3rd mesocycle using the RP app, not only have I noticed a big difference in my strength, but it also has given me the tools and confidence to push myself a little harder each session. I'm sure there are many people who follow you who are not trying to get huge but they can take as little or as much of your points and use them to be as healthy as they can be. Keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you for providing such excellent knowledge! Looking forward to implementing this TODAY!
I've started training and following these exact steps for over a month now and I already wish I had been doing this for years.
I'm 50 years old and training since about 18. You have changed my life in the last six weeks. I'm seriously on a path to be jacked and I LOVE it. And what's more, it's not really that hard. It's literally just doing what we've been told, consistently.
No offense but what were you doing wrong all the time?
Why does your profile pic look like its from gta sa?
I would love to work with this dude.. this is some of the best advice ive probably ever seen on TH-cam this is EXACTLY how its done. And I always tell guys consistany and picking foods that you will actually be able to prep and eat everyday for a long period of time is crucial. Thanks for giving great advice.
This guy just succinctly and efficiently synthesised all the best training information out there into an 8mon video. Bravo.
Thanks for the video buddy. My friend and I are in a cut phase right now but when we are done with our maintenance period we are probably going to want to put on a bit of muscle. This video will come in handy for us who want to do it fast and stay natural.
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.
Be mindful of your body guys, take deloads seriously.
I am guilty of that as well, and I have been on a plateau for so long. Not understanding why and kept adding more and more volume and training harder than last time.
I just started using deloads about a month ago, and I'm currently in my second one. Hopefully, that will make the difference.
@@godzoo18 This was the case for me for some of my first years in training. It was only until I learned how to really push myself, going to failure most of the time, and so on, that it started getting worse.
I'm 45 and somewhat of a beginner. Trained 5 times a week (high volume: 2 hours a day) for a year. Normal-good testosterone score. No gear.
I was athletic in my youth, did all sorts of sports. Now I only lift. Had 10 years of laziness from 34-44.
I'm planning on doing a 50% weight reduction deload week once per month now. I feel like I'm chronically worn down.
Is this a good plan?
@@Godfred78 Yes, definitely.
I think first of all listen to your body. If you're tired, even if you had decent sleep and rest, then you definitely need to deload or take it easier.
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.
You should not be training 5 or 6 x a week absolutley absurd.
RP channel growing fast, happy to see it
Straight to the point, concise, video. Thank you!
Bro if i had a video like this when i was starting out I would be lightyears ahead. Appreciate the knowledge you guys have given me.
I’m a female. Just beginning training and it’s My first time here and freaking love this guy already!! He’s for sure my new internet coach!!! I don’t wanna get big but I wanna fill out my body with muscle after a major weight loss. Nice to meet u sir✊🏾❤️
Cheers! Enjoy the training 🤘💐
Love how straightforward you are. No sugar coating or anything
Golden information! Thank you for your no-BS educational content
Glad to hear I've been doing most of these things "right enough".
Gained 20lbs over the past 6 months and even though I'm pretty fat right now (~20-21%BF) I can really tell how much my physique has changed. Going on a cut for the next ~3-4 months now to reveal what it is I worked my ass of for. Can't wait.
gl
Any updates on the cut?
@@jofol1757 Haha yo mate , I ended up losing about 15lbs and was really glad with the results (although I felt kinda small after losing all that weight lol). Currently doing another bulk and focusing more on strength then aesthetics now so probably gonna stay on the heavier side for a while.
What fat % were you before? Interested to know how much of the 20 lbs was muscle and how much was fat.
It ended up being about 5-6lb lean mass. At the end of my cut I was about the same leanness as I was at the start of my first bulk, but 5-6lb heavier. I think I bulked a little too aggressively on that one, my diet has improved since then.
Clear and to the point
Awesome video once again Mike! Well done!
One of the best videos! even on hypertrophy. Dr. Mike is THE guy. Love this. Simple but comprehensive.
I’m about to go back to 6 days a week after training for a half marathon. Can’t wait to get after it. Really great video.
Dr mike, you said something about training to grow muscle well vs training to grow muscle fast. What is the difference between the two?(awesome informative video as always)
I like this, you see all those other videos that are needlessly long, countless versions of them, numerous hacks and ideas released day after day after day....then you have this in less than 9 minutes, eat like this, train like this, sleep like this and that's it. No BS, love it.
By far the best fitness channel on TH-cam, amazing video
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!!!!
IDK how anyone trains the same muscle hard more than twice a week. Im sore AF for 3 days easy after a hard workout.
Are you training to 2 RIR or to failure?
Which muscles? Do you push til failure? How many sets per workout?
You have to get stronger first. It takes more time to heal and feels more devastating starting out.
Amazing video! Really loved it. It’s highly comprehensive and informative. Can’t thank you enough for all the phenomenal and helpful content! 💪👍🙏
Another excellent and comprehensive video!
Thank you Dr. Mike I need to build 10kgs of muscle by saturday
my #1 tip is getting stretch under load, feels like i got 8 months of progress in just 3 months of implementing this... oh ye and pausing under load while stretched
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!
From my experience, for a minimalist approach everything boils down to consistency. Pick a thing and do that like freaking clockwork at a sustainable rate.
I'd also be interested in the least amount of work needed to maintain, because sometimes thats necessary too
@@irfuel honestly very comparable to a set in the gym, like 1 minute maybe? Pretty high intensity
@@newerest1Dr Mike has that volume guide. That can help in developing a plan
The less you do the less you gain. So if you want minimal growth put in the minimal volume and calories.
Nothing complicated in that. The complicated part is how much you can put in without having recovery issues. That's what this videos is about.
This is your best video that I’ve seen, thanks bro.
this is one of your best videos by far thank you !
I always wondered how much more progress I could have made when I was younger had I slept more. Between school, sports, work, and lifting I only really slept 3 hours at most a night. I wasn’t really training for growth but was training really hard 6 sometimes 7 days a week. Still got me like 10lbs of muscle over a year but who knows maybe it would have been more
Thanks!
Finally there is someone who can tell to my son things I’m telling him for years, but he is ignoring! 😁👍🏼
Fantastic video. You mention all the MUST DO to grow muscle. Thank you! Congrats.
As always, appreciate the info Dr. Mike 🥳
Love this! Just started eating in a small 200-400kcal surplus to put on some size. Noticing the scale is going up 1-2lbs per month so I think I'm in the right spot.
Thanks for the reassurance and content.
Dude i am so stressed that i am eating in maintenance because of how slow i am putting on weight on the scale
1-2 lbs looks like a little lower than you should put on. a surplus of 250 calories alone should make you gain around 2 lbs a month. A surplus of 400 calories should be more than 3 lbs a month.
@@hakouthegamer7978 I feel this, 100%. As someone who was 255lbs and cut down to 165 I am scared to put weight back on because I relate it to fat. What I have been doing is just adding a Barebell Protein bar (200 kcal) once a day, usually at night for what i think is a 200 calorie surplus. Everything else has stayed the same and I feel I am getting a bit stronger and slowly adding weight to the scale while the shorts and pants still fitting properly.
Check your body fat percantage and muscle mass growth with a Body fat scale and YMCA formula.
I'm a beginner so I'm loosing weight and at the same time gaining muscle. It really helps track progress.
Just eat like 1-2 spoonfulls of peanut butter a day, it'll make a big dent in your weekly intake. That's like a jar of PB a week. @@hakouthegamer7978
I am currently on my fourth week of bulking and I’ve gone from 147.6 and am currently weighing in at 152.1. Four and a half pounds in under four weeks isn’t to shabby. Thanks for all the knowledge Dr.Mike!
does it feel like more fat than muscle, more muscle than fat, or an even amount?
Amazing content as always
Awsome video i love it!
One of my favorite videos on youtube
6 days per week training is a recipe to burn like a sun after a month and forget about your dreams and goals forever. I trained 30 days every day same 7 exercises to failure single set and even progressed. Yes it is possible, but you can't sustain that and after I lost the interest for 8 months.
i went from 2-3-4 to 6 days a week training and i feel stronger and better and i get faster result. But to make it works you have to do less on everyday 4 exercises max
Hey Dr. Mike. Can you please make a video on stretch marks? I’ve been getting some new ones that pop bright red every time I workout. Especially around my lats when I do a dumbbell chest press. Help!
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.
Drink more water, moisturise, maybe increase salt intake a little, but there's only so much you can do. Grow slower?
This video naturally makes me want to know all the details about the difference between putting on the fastest and putting on in the ideal fashion. I watch so much of this content that I can imagine the answer but I also watch so much of it that I need more content 😭
this is one of the most epic videos you have ever posted and so motivating
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?
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!
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.
You'll still do the same number of total sets per week, just fewer per day because they are divided into more days
He literally explained the approach on how to organize a "split" in the video
@@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.
About to go murder a Leg day - week 5 - 0 RIR

Thanks for the no BS approach to fitness DR. Mike!
The greatest RP video so far! And I've seen dozens
Hey Mike, you could be losing your Ph.D. title for not using PowerPoint slides anymore.
Even after consuming 10 years of youtube fitness content, this video made me start going 5 times instead of 4 times per week and increase protein from 0.8 to 1 g/lb. Thanks!
man you are slow if it took you 10 years to do that
@@snowbunnybreeder 4x and 0.8 is also great (and within recommendation). 5x and 1.0 is not day and night difference. I meant it more as in "motivation" to try out 5x.
Me and My Training buddy constructed our training and diet programs based off of your advice and the first month has been amazing both mentally and physically. I've never in my 10 years of training have took it this seriously.
You’re an inspiration. Keep being incredible! 👑🙌
Got a question for someone more on the experienced side than myself... I have been bulking for 24 weeks now, gained about 40 pounds, putting me at 235, and at about 23-24% body fat (6'2" if it matters). 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!
Im 28yo and I started around 195 and 15%bf, not sure if that's relevant?
I've been training for 3 years seriously now; I would say go into a 250-500 calorie deficit and go on a long cut and see how you're body looks at the differing body fat percentages and monitor you're performance at the gym/weightlifting/training; if you notice that around 15% body fat you don't make much progress then try and stay around a slightly higher body fat percentage (17-19%) or cut down to 15% and see if you can maintain you're current progress and keep the same gym routine
@@chandansimms9167 Hey bro, thanks for the advice! Sorry I didn't respond right away, I never got a notification on this. My plan now is to start a 12 week cut on October 1st and see where I'm at. Probably a second one soon after that to get back to the 200 lb range.
@@mosthatedminnesotan yeah no worries and that sounds like a plan; hope it goes well
So at 195 lbs and 15% bf, you had ~30 lbs of fat on you. Growing to 235 and increasing to lets say 23.5% bf, you now have ~55 lbs of fat. That's a difference of ~25 lbs of fat. You've gained ~40 lbs altogether so ~15 lbs are muscle seemingly. That's pretty good for 1/2 a year.
A preset Meso for this kind of Program (probably upper/lower 3x) would be nice, all the preset programs in the app only hit each muscle group twice a week
6x/week full body is push/pull/legs. Would be a very good choice!
Oh, and we have more presets coming to the app in a few weeks! - Dr. Mike
@@RenaissancePeriodization That's nice to hear, the app is great and really helped me get back into it all after a long pause.
Thanks for answering.
Oh and btw, when stats? 😬
This is really good advice. Thank you!
great job again DR.Mike
Used to train 5-7 days a week (average 6) for 3 months, recovery plan in order and fatigue was too high--gains were just ok.
Decreased to a 3 day PPL, going to positive failure and beyond---gains through the roof.
Found the volume sweet spot at 8-12 sets per muscle group, LV a bit lower.
Yeah this much training is not for me. I like 3-4x/week even though I get slower results
Damn, this channel really hits hard on the facts. I just wished that those tiktok "fake" influencers share good and informative videos rather than those fun type of stuff but 80% of is BS. If you have the dedication, time, effort, and resources, the 10 tips are amazing!
I just started taking training seriously early last year (2023) and despite not being on point with everything mentioned in this video, I did make some good progress. I think the last point is the biggest one. Stay consistent. I think learning to love the training helps with that. I'm still working on that part, but I've made it a habit and I think I'm stronger now than when I graduated boot camp in 1999. So glad I found your channel Dr Mike!
I train:
1x per week
8 RIR
2 sets per muscle
Always lower and lower weight
Last deaload: 2019

Is this man trolling?
Following this channel I have found success in diet and lifting for the first time ever for more than a month. I’ve never been able to gain weight before, but I’ve been going 3-4 times a week in the gym from nothing and have gained about 7-8 pounds in 6 weeks. The weight gain is super sustainable and I’m not actually even getting as fat as I thought I would. Thank you doctor Mike!
Love the video straight to the point, you should make one for strength training too. :) thx dr mike
*"SCIENCE-BASED"* is the new "functional" as the hot industry term that is actually completely nebulous & can be slapped on any modestly productive exercise/program etc.

Great video! No bullshit, straight to the point, thank you Mike :)
I'm a 43-year-old dude who's been lifting since middle school. I am fit, I'm strong, and I'm in a pretty decent shape. I have only stumbled across Dr. Mike very recently and I can already tell that my fitness and strength training will benefit from this. Straightforward, no BS. It's appreciated because.... it's hard to know what to believe anymore and we're all tired.
I still can’t believe you deliver all this knowledge for free. I´m following you for years now and I´m still learning lot on every video you publish.
There I is still a topic which is barley covered on you tube (or at least covered from someone which I trust)
What is about training, sleep and recovery on life changing events, like in my case becoming a parent?
There will be a new priority in my life, but I still want to make the best out of my training while caring for a newborn. As far as I know you don’t have children, but I still wanted to ask you about a lecture about that topic.
Thank you very much about all the imparted knowledge!
Best regards from Germany,
Silas
thank you so much, please continue
Absolutely accurate knowledge and great instruction. Much respect for this video Doc.
Man dr mike and coach greg are identical twins. Fun to watch and accurate advice that matches each other with no bullshit.
Shit if only i had you guys back when i was 16...only 23 years ago lol
Best ch on YT for this stuff !
Straight to the point good stuff here.
Thank you again dr. Mike!
Great video, as usual
Can confirm. I did this exact series of things for the last six months and I’ve never grown more in my life. ¡Gracias Doctor Miguel!
