      Why did you call Joel Seedman White? He's clearly Jewish.
      Seedman is a joke, and us Jewish folks need to own this one instead of passing the buck on to White folks! 😅

      How about doing an unstable exercise after one of the staples? I was trained by a guy who trains gold medal Olympians (this was 20 years ago). He swore by this method. Eg. Chest press superset by pushups on a bosu or Swiss/therapy ball. Front squat or back squat superset with bodyweight squats on bosu ball or Swiss ball?

    The worst part about that neck ball nonsense is that athlete is Chris Carson, an incredibly tough running back for Seattle Seahawks, who unfortunately had to retire prematurely because of *checks notes* a NECK INJURY.

      @curtisthomson4209 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m new to lifting so I searched for the “eccentric isometric“ definition and it appears to be a method Dr. Mike is a proponent of, albeit, by another set of terms. The “eccentric “ portion is the slow and controlled eccentric portion of the lifting movement and the “isometric “ portion is the holding of the weights in that eccentric position for “x” seconds before athletically entering the concentric phase of the lifting movement. Doing that is considered “eccentric isometric” lifting by those who like that term. Dr. Mike isn’t a fan, largely to simply break Dr. Seedman’s balls, and chooses to express it as, rest/pause with a slow eccentric, pause, then an athletic concentric movement. Same shit. So, while it appears Dr. Mike is correct on all of the fuckery call outs, regarding the eccentric isometric lifting method, not so much, which he fully knows but it was a chance to kick sand in Seedman’s again, so he did. In my opinion, Dr. Mike would have served his viewers and himself better by explaining the method instead of going on attack.

    • @jacobvasquez5380

      Half squats and quarter squats are better for explosiveness when it comes to athletic population. There's a study on this by Rhea et. al. called 'Joint-Angle Specific Strength Adaptations Influence Improvements in Power in Highly Trained Athletes '. Pretty sure partial roms for squats also improve full squat max.
      Point is half and quarter squats simulate the starting position in sprinting and jumping. Tell me a sport where you develope power from full squat position.

    I’ve been a personal trainer for 25 years now. I was blessed early on to learn and train with a trainer who had been training about 30 years at that time. One of the core beliefs I learned was to keep it simple. Every time I had ideas and practiced away from this system I actually saw less results. There are 6 basic movements the human body makes, just load those and make them stronger and move through a long range of motion. Simple= better I trained a hockey player who came to me and showed me all these balance/complicated exercises he was doing. I got him to stop and do the above. Not only did he look and feel better, but played and skated better too.

He's very openly Christian and a surprising amount of the followers that defend his content reply with "thoughts and prayers!" or "thanks doing the lord's work, Joel" in the comments. Rather than being a lifting coach, he has set himself up as a lifting preacher - a religious lifting authority that's not to be questioned. You don't have to understand, because his techniques work in mysterious ways.

    I've noticed that if you follow the highest tension range of movement, lockout is usually low tension until the last few failure reps where it becomes highly tense. I've been trying tension-delimited partials until exhaustion begins, then go full range of motion as failure approaches. Full depth to about 45 degrees, then go the last 45 degrees to lockout as failure approaches or weight goes down with drop set reduction in load.

    Thinking back to the Thor video, I’m wondering if Dr. Mike would a video around Tom Hardy’s transformation into Bane for The Dark Knight Rises. From what I remember, he bulked up in a super short period and he said it wasn’t healthy, so I’d be super curious to see Dr. Mike’s take on it or what he’d change. Awesome and funny videos as always.

    • @higherpowerfitness2115

      Hardy never talked about his training and only mentioned he dirty bulked. Mike is a training guy so he wouldn’t have shit to say on the subject other than “welp he ate a fck ton of food”.

      @@higherpowerfitness2115 I know a lot of what went into the role was his diet, which was mostly junk. Plus all the camera magic and boot lifts made Tom look bigger than he was. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of getting a more definitive or impressive physique for a villain like Bane or how he would do it differently for a movie. I know Tom Hardy definitely didn’t have a peak look for Bane or ate well. It was more a curiosity thing because I like Bane and Tom Hardy and would want to see how Dr. Mike would eat/train for it

Not sure if it worked but I had calf muscles that looked like they had wires running through them.Definitely didn't make big muscles but helped train the muscles for balance in my entire body.
