Mike deep breathes in before going down with weight...holds his breath..releases pushing out! 💪 a lot of people forget that. It's not just bone density & connective tissue 🤧
Same here! 185lbs for 8 reps today, all with good form, a 1 second pause and constant tension. Been lifting for 13 years exactly, I am weaker than I was in my 20's, but mucj denser and fuller. Quality over Quantity 💪🏼💪🏼
The amount of knowledge in this video is unbelievable. Mike, Im so grateful for your sharing this and making us better and wiser. Thank you sir, hope to have a chance to meet you one day.
Absolutely! Whenever do you hear bodybuilders or fitness influencers talk about bone density, and tendon strength? I feel like a lot of the young people. Don’t expect to live more than 10 years and Mike is showing us you could have a world-class, physique and world class power for almost indefinitely.
This guy makes lifting heavy look easy. His actions speak for themselves. The strict and controlled way he lifts heavy weight is something you don't see in bodybuilding or powerlifting, yet he is both strong and well built to say the least.
Still relatively young man. A lot of people are in their prime with weights in their 40's and hit pr's. You can make so many gains man if you hit the weights hard. Good luck, hope you're doing good and having fun since you posted that.
Mike seems to focus on moving weights like he's doing Tuishou. Leverage, reflex, sensitivity, timing, coordination and positioning... like Pushing Hands. Facts!
"I was stronger than any pro bodybuilder ever" - Mike 0'Hearn What a legend. Love this guy, truly the strongest ever. No one was stronger than him period. He truly is at a level that NO ONE has ever even come close to. It's really an inspiration to me and others to see someone at this level. People like Arnold are NOT who they seem to be. It's all smoke and mirrors. Truly, Mike is the real deal stronger man ever!
I know yoy are trolling and Its pretty funny how mike says things etc. But he is actually insanely strong. 500 pound Incline bench strength with good form in his 50's?while being lean? Its literally insane.
@@user-zz5og2lf7phaha I know right? Incline Benching 500 with good form Is amazing.. incline benching 500 with good form in your 50s while pretty lean is fucking unreal. It’s almost too hard to believe
Mike, you inspired me to stick with my goals. My favorite lift is thumbs-length grip inclined-bench pre$$e$. I am 64 yrs young, 5 ft7" , and 175lbs. Currently doing 155lbs x 7 reps. My goal is to get 225 x 5 by July 14, 2024 my birthday 🎂💐
My husband uses a one and done approach. He began training at 14, he is 36 now. When he first began he used multiple sets per exercise and always used good form. Unfortunately, when he was 19 he hurt his lower spine on a leg press machine. A few years later he began to change his technique, focusing more on using full range of motion with a slow and controlled movement. When he would barbell squat, he was just 5'6 and 167 pounds, he would use such strict form athletes and bodybuilders would tell him they rarely see such strict form used. He only would squat 225 for one all out set of 18-20 repetitions and then go to the leg extensions afterward without rest and do 80 pounds for 15 repetitions. Sometimes on the barbell squat he would pause at parallel for 2 solid seconds on every rep he performed. He would get 15 reps when he did this. He said, true strength is your isometric strength combined with a full range of motion using a controlled pace, unless you are a powerlifter or strongman.
There are so many good different ways to train, and pretty much all of them work and have potential to be beneficial. Strict form is almost always good, but it does depend on your specific goals and what muscles you're trying to hit, so in very very rare cases there are exceptions.
I am 51 years old and I have been watching Mike since I was 18. No human being has ever maintained a physique like that for decades. He does not look great for his age, and he is not strong for his age. He just looks great, and he is just strong.
"Pay dividends later on!" Great expression, Mike. U R Da Man. You taught us how to train and build muscle to sustain it throughout our lifetime and enjoy good health later on in life. You are a great inspiration, Mike. Keep it up! ❤❤❤
Video's from Mike and his crew is what I like so much! Giving me the RIGHT amount of energy and inspiration I need rather than those fellas who are screemimg eachother in the face while doing their reps and sets!! But hey, that's just me and each their own! 👍🏻👍🏻
Best thing ive learnt from mike is the behind the head shoulder press. I've struggled for years with a bad shoulder and a tendency to roll it even when it made no sense and I would try my best not to. This fixed the pain, the posture the poor form, everything. I feel strong again where I used to have pain. Thanks mike!
As an Exercise Physiologist, Mike O' Hearn is 100% correct. He didn't articulate his thoughts with enough physiological support, however, his philosophy is spot on. Perhaps he was keeping his explanations very basic for purposes of this video or the person he was speaking too. Ultimately his approach to training, whether he knows it or not, is supported by the scientific literature in the world of exercise physiology. Great job, Mr. O' Hearn, keep teaching others the correct way!
Mike mentioned a man named Bull Stewart. Bull Stewart is a legend in Seattle. His sons Lodrick and Rodrick are two legendary high school basketball players from Rainier Beach high school in Seattle who went on to play at USC and the University of Kansas, respectively. Bull was an absolute Bull of a man, his strength was mythical and his sons, all of them, will go down as some of the most explosive and entertaining athletes the city of Seattle has ever witnessed. I would love to hear more about Mike's time competing against the man known as Bull Stewart.
Mike has built such a solid foundation that he has not been injured in his 30 yrs of working out........that's freaking more amazing than his lifts love how he preaches longevity so many body builders have died or there joints have fell apart this is not a overnight thing mike's built a super endocrine system when he preaches bone density and connective tissue ..... There's a reason why he's the only one at his age whose remained injury free and still big and healthy as an Ox it truely is amazing
Awesome. O'Hearn is getting stronger. love it. As a body builder I couldn't agree more with his knowledge. I tried for years doing "good form" and reps 8-12 till failure. Did very little. Now I mix it up and always go heavy 3 reps to max with a spotter and muscle mass and strength went up. Must of us will not grow with lighter weights and high reps like Heath, Flex, Dillet. Must of us need to kill it like Branch, Walker, Yates, and of course O'Hearn.
@@marksmith9175 Branch also lifts the heaviest weight he can with high intensity and very poor form. Branch in getting volume load from the reps with a heavy weight to stimulate the mass and hardness he had. Branch also had multiple injuries. Better Branch trained like O'Hearn and grow and get strong with less wear and tear on the tendons from all the high reps.
@@jkane334 Jay was and is a pussy. He was a ton of insulin, growth and test derivatives. Look at the size of Jays waist and gut!!!! AGAIN... for most up us, mix it up but overall better to warm-up and kill it with heavy weights, lower volume and get in and out and spar the joints Like Mike O'Hearn.
*I’m a lifelong natural - 25 years in a row lifting… currently have a 585 PR incline bench, and hit 545 for 4. You will not ever see a natural as strong as me in your lifetime.*
@@strongestnattyever-videos2247Ah yes, realistically, I wonder how many people actually go to your channel from these claims, smart way to garner views tbh
Yes sir. That's how it's done. Doug Hepburn style training. I've trained like this in my weightroom for years. Slow and steady. Progressive overload on the basics.
My numbers started going way up when I started to train like that. 1-4 heavy reps nice and smooth, no struggle just heavy weights in control. Was able to finally start getting over 225 on the bench without pain.
*I’m a lifelong natural - 25 years in a row lifting… currently have a 585 PR incline bench, and hit 545 for 4. You will not ever see a natural as strong as me in your lifetime.*
Mike is so very impressive, and is always pushing his limits which one of the reasons I love watching him. I hold myself to a higher standard than most people, and set very very high goals, and Mike obviously does too. Doing what he's doing at his age in terms of muscle, strength, and just overall intelligence and ability is incredible. More impressive that Larry Wheels to me for sure. He's far older than Larry, and Larry is barely lifting more than Mike. Mike may be stronger on Incline now than Larry is. I hate to compare guys like that, but it's a testament to how impressive Mike is. Appreciate your videos Mike. I'm working very hard too, and i'm coming for you lol. That's another thing I learned from Mike was to stop overtraining and pushing my body so very hard every workout, and that's because I have high goals, but it's not beneficial in the long run.
@@molasorrosalom4846 Yeah, Larry has done a lot of damage to his body already. He definitely pushes too hard in my opinion. That's another thing that's great with Mike is his longevity, and how he explains it, because longevity is very important to me, I want to be able to do this forever. Larry gets injured all the time, Mike has never really been injured in all these years. Larry will never be able to lift like this for years on end if he even makes it that long at all.
Great point about where you grip the weight.. I think it actually makes a huge difference on focusing the weight. Gripping it too far inward like the guy wearing the hat was would make you focus the weight more on the anterior shoulder rather than the chest.
mike is like the terminator, mike and his team give me the fuel i need to stay on form and run the day, as oppose to the day running me, 'heave-ho' that just made me laugh so hard :)))
Mike, your wife should be a little less lean for her health. It's too easy for her to be lean. Just my thoughts. You are my new inspiration and your wife and dog are super cute and wonderful people. ❤️
I love the way the camera gets real close, so that you can never see two people talking to each other. Instead, each person speaks into a void. Really good camera work--get in close!
Mike - singles up to a top set of 3, then 2 sets of db inclines for reps of 10-12. Do you see any benefit from doing the incline barbell for down sets at higher reps? I'm 58 and in the same preservation mode to stay healthy and keep lifting in the future.
The man's strength is incredible.. just immense.. my respect for him has gone up over the years. Perfect form, true control, genuine regard and love and dedication. You can tell here watching Mike that his forearms and grip is so freaking strong by itself that he just manhandles the bar and you can tell that it really will take a TREMENDOUS amount of force for it to even start hitting his body muscles - amazing grip strength
@@Fitness4longevity I guess the gyst of my 1st comment was I watching him during the routine and was thinking like... just how much it really would take for him to actually start struggling and failing, his larger muscle groups wanting to take over before he actually fails and it was a freaking insane number and blew my mind and don't remember Lol. You can tell he's really deathgripping the bar hard with his forearms and that's probably the unseen factor as well as a ridiculous core
mike does give solid advice just cos u have done 3 plates each side in the past doesn't mean u just go and do it. after a lay off. u can always finnish at 2 plates and 10 each side and in 2 month get back to bigger weights to save the joints
with all due respect to mike, im in my 40's and have exp a bit of a renaissance in my weightlifting by forgetting about going to failure...but focusing on "power" with sub max weights. I will still do singles with ~90%, but only 3 sets. I have a speed measuring device and i just don't lift weights anymore that don't come up at a certain min velocity. If i fall below that velocity, im out...i move on to another excercise or just call it a day on that muscle group period. He is right though, those reps where your elbows are starting to slide around.....i should have "never" done that kind of lifting. TBH Mike's velocity on some of these reps looks "very" good. I was surprised to hear him talk about not lifting explosively because it looked to me like he has worked with such a device. Dude keeps his speed up and doesn't touch failure. Failure fries your CNS.
It does. I used to lift to failure a lot and you get overtrained pretty easily. Took a while to recover after pushing myself day after day with high volume routines and sets to failure every workout. My body hurt and my hands were shaking and muscles were twitching even when not working out. I took like month off an just did some light lifting to recover and came back feeling great. I just get so into it sometimes I push too hard, but im listening to mike when it comes to longevity now because I want to lift forever without any serious injuries, and I have been lucky so far, not to mention it's more beneficial for gains in strength for sure , and I just enjoy lifting a lot in general. I feel like Mikes reps are more bodybuilding reps usually and not super explosive the way say Larry wheels benches. I think Mike would be even stronger if he did all his reps super explosive like Larry. Mike does have explosion there don't get me wrong, but I don't think his reps are geared towards that.
@@billj4525 I train to nearly failure every single workout with high loads. Seems to be doing great for me and feels great but I'm only in my 30's though. Having a proper diet makes the world a difference. When you train with such crazy volume and failure though, you definitely need a few days off. Lol you can't be working out 5-6 days a week if you're going to failure every time on each muscle group. I tried that and couldn't, I was burnt out. Luckily I've never had any issues with my body except my wrists and the odd pain only comes here and there once in a while.
@@MastahMich Bro… programming and nutrition only get you so far. Mike O’hearn has insane genetics. But, to be this big and strong at 50 without destroying your body requires a lot of drugs whether want to believe it or not.
Yes Mike can talk b.s on been natty,seem narcissistic at times but when it comes down to basics,his form is on point, zero b.s when it comes to his training,still one of the hardest working in the gym even at his age.
It is so helpful to hear Mike's advice about full range of motion. I don't do heavy weights as I don't want to get really big, but the advice is still great advice for me. I've also started thinking more about longevity and long-term planning thanks to this video.
I did a strict one arm dumbell preacher curl with 130lbs. I weigh between 198 to 205. And I am 60 years old. Like you said I lift weights for the future, not for the moment. Goal is 150lbs at body weight 215lbs at 60. Will post when I get there. I will try to post me doing 130lbs soon here.😃
If you look close, the entire gym uses ivanko barbell company weights while this incline bench rack uses american barbell company weights. Even if this is half the weight of what it actually is, a 275 incline bench in your 50’s is a great lift.
Mike, really appreciate the comments on longevity and training style; have been learning to adapt from sports training to more of your style and feel much healthier
@@garymac5571 Yeah, genetics can make a persons face look young too. How young someone looks in their and body and face doesn't mean they're ageing good or slower than average though, that's the thing. HGH especially isn't good for longevity in the long term anyway.

mike might not be a natty but his understanding of how much weight a person should use is showing here.
He’s the muthafuckin TOP NATTY! What’re you talking about??
Great point about where you grip the weight.. I think it actually makes a huge difference on focusing the weight. Gripping it too far inward like the guy wearing the hat was would make you focus the weight more on the anterior shoulder rather than the chest.
100% Stack:
Equipoise - 300 mg/week
Primobolan - 400 mg/week
Growth Hormone - 4-9IUs/day
Testosterone - 800 mg/week
Trenbolone - 300 to 400 mg/week
“I was strong than any pro bodybuilder ever”
Ronnie Coleman: Am I a joke to you? 😂
Ronnie didnt exist at that time
Holy shit I got a lot out of this. Longevity. Using the way you lift to ensure you still have it in ten years.
mike is like the terminator, mike and his team give me the fuel i need to stay on form and run the day, as oppose to the day running me, 'heave-ho' that just made me laugh so hard :)))
Craziest part about this. He can do just as much and maybe more reverse grip!!!!!! Strength Cartel video. I couldn’t believe it. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
He cannot reverse his grip with 405 on an incline.
That dog is amazing....
Mike is a fuckin beast!!
Wisdom over ego. Calculated progress.
This video is GOLD, Mike is a beast!
That shirt is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen!!!! Mike you are the best 😂😂😂😂
I like this guy. He's the real deal.
Mike, you are my new man. I am lucky to learn from you. I just started lifting again and it's truly awesome. Thank you for being real.
Mike, your wife should be a little less lean for her health. It's too easy for her to be lean. Just my thoughts. You are my new inspiration and your wife and dog are super cute and wonderful people. ❤️
No matter what, this guy is the all time weight lifter. Absolutely mark work completed moving iron than any human in history.
I love the way the camera gets real close, so that you can never see two people talking to each other. Instead, each person speaks into a void. Really good camera work--get in close!
HE DEFINITELY DOES THE WORK.
MICHAEL O'HERN IS AGING IN REVERSE.
HE IS INCREDIBLY STRONG!!!.
♠️THE VANITY ADDICT♠️
Mike - singles up to a top set of 3, then 2 sets of db inclines for reps of 10-12. Do you see any benefit from doing the incline barbell for down sets at higher reps? I'm 58 and in the same preservation mode to stay healthy and keep lifting in the future.
He uses barbell exercises for lower rep ranges because they are safer and easier to load. Dumbbells for hypertrophy stuff.
Nothing like TITAN himself slapping you, telling you to "WAKE UP!" 3 plates on incline is no joke!
Всем надо брать пример с Майка. Приветствия с Украины.
Do your thing Mike..teach it and preach it..
mike is a great teacher.
The man's strength is incredible.. just immense.. my respect for him has gone up over the years. Perfect form, true control, genuine regard and love and dedication. You can tell here watching Mike that his forearms and grip is so freaking strong by itself that he just manhandles the bar and you can tell that it really will take a TREMENDOUS amount of force for it to even start hitting his body muscles - amazing grip strength
💪🏽
@@Fitness4longevity I guess the gyst of my 1st comment was I watching him during the routine and was thinking like... just how much it really would take for him to actually start struggling and failing, his larger muscle groups wanting to take over before he actually fails and it was a freaking insane number and blew my mind and don't remember Lol. You can tell he's really deathgripping the bar hard with his forearms and that's probably the unseen factor as well as a ridiculous core
I’m excited to see his little boys accomplishments.
Mike is a Beast bro that kid is gonna have big shoes to fill
455x3 on incline bench - Impressive!
mike does give solid advice just cos u have done 3 plates each side in the past doesn't mean u just go and do it. after a lay off. u can always finnish at 2 plates and 10 each side and in 2 month get back to bigger weights to save the joints
That's knowledge. Natural bodybuilding, Papi💪🏼🌍
I can’t help but like Mike O’Hearn
This guy is the King of Incline Press. I learn something every video i watch from him
with all due respect to mike, im in my 40's and have exp a bit of a renaissance in my weightlifting by forgetting about going to failure...but focusing on "power" with sub max weights. I will still do singles with ~90%, but only 3 sets. I have a speed measuring device and i just don't lift weights anymore that don't come up at a certain min velocity. If i fall below that velocity, im out...i move on to another excercise or just call it a day on that muscle group period. He is right though, those reps where your elbows are starting to slide around.....i should have "never" done that kind of lifting. TBH Mike's velocity on some of these reps looks "very" good. I was surprised to hear him talk about not lifting explosively because it looked to me like he has worked with such a device. Dude keeps his speed up and doesn't touch failure. Failure fries your CNS.
It does. I used to lift to failure a lot and you get overtrained pretty easily. Took a while to recover after pushing myself day after day with high volume routines and sets to failure every workout. My body hurt and my hands were shaking and muscles were twitching even when not working out. I took like month off an just did some light lifting to recover and came back feeling great. I just get so into it sometimes I push too hard, but im listening to mike when it comes to longevity now because I want to lift forever without any serious injuries, and I have been lucky so far, not to mention it's more beneficial for gains in strength for sure , and I just enjoy lifting a lot in general. I feel like Mikes reps are more bodybuilding reps usually and not super explosive the way say Larry wheels benches. I think Mike would be even stronger if he did all his reps super explosive like Larry. Mike does have explosion there don't get me wrong, but I don't think his reps are geared towards that.
@@billj4525 I train to nearly failure every single workout with high loads. Seems to be doing great for me and feels great but I'm only in my 30's though. Having a proper diet makes the world a difference. When you train with such crazy volume and failure though, you definitely need a few days off. Lol you can't be working out 5-6 days a week if you're going to failure every time on each muscle group. I tried that and couldn't, I was burnt out. Luckily I've never had any issues with my body except my wrists and the odd pain only comes here and there once in a while.
Learned so much from this video. Thank you.
Nice to see guys doing full range of motion. A lost art in most gyms now
The T-Shirt did it for me. Subbed.
YOUR RIGHT MIKE!🌠
Mike has si much knowledge, the way he tweaks and fine tunes certain workouts to optimize movement and performance is off the charts
u really are unbelievably strong tho brother
Mike , your content is the best
Impressive to see Mike lifting all those plates. Not sure how he has avoided injury all these years.
Lotta steroids
High doses of hgh and testosterone. Probably nandrolone too. Not sure how he hasn’t had a heart attack yet.
@@Alwaystrollingbro More likely, extremely good form, programming and nutrition. The man knows 10 times more than the average pro.
@@MastahMich Bro… programming and nutrition only get you so far. Mike O’hearn has insane genetics. But, to be this big and strong at 50 without destroying your body requires a lot of drugs whether want to believe it or not.
@@Alwaystrollingbro testosterone and GH doesn’t help you avoid injury .
Yes Mike can talk b.s on been natty,seem narcissistic at times but when it comes down to basics,his form is on point, zero b.s when it comes to his training,still one of the hardest working in the gym even at his age.
Mike's dog sooo cute 😍😍😍
You’re an absolute inspiration and a great mentor for lifting! I want to lift for a lifetime too!
Mike…. Hair looking on point! This guy is greatness.
It is so helpful to hear Mike's advice about full range of motion. I don't do heavy weights as I don't want to get really big, but the advice is still great advice for me. I've also started thinking more about longevity and long-term planning thanks to this video.
you won't get bigger without chemical part
💪🏽
Yeh it takes more than lifting to get really big, I wouldn’t worry about it
I did a strict one arm dumbell preacher curl with 130lbs. I weigh between 198 to 205. And I am 60 years old. Like you said I lift weights for the future, not for the moment. Goal is 150lbs at body weight 215lbs at 60. Will post when I get there. I will try to post me doing 130lbs soon here.😃
He is the strongest smoothest lifter ever
Mike makes it look so easy
Longevity and quality of life.
If you look close, the entire gym uses ivanko barbell company weights while this incline bench rack uses american barbell company weights. Even if this is half the weight of what it actually is, a 275 incline bench in your 50’s is a great lift.
When you see that massive weight on incline bench press move, you swear that Mike is a Super Hero.
Mike lifts like a machine. Unreal.
Mike, really appreciate the comments on longevity and training style; have been learning to adapt from sports training to more of your style and feel much healthier
I was "God" strong... this guy is something else
Regardless of what you think of Mike, he’s unlocked some sort of fountain of youth and longevity. Amazing to see really.
HGH is great for maintaining a youthful appearance
@@garymac5571 Yeah, genetics can make a persons face look young too. How young someone looks in their and body and face doesn't mean they're ageing good or slower than average though, that's the thing. HGH especially isn't good for longevity in the long term anyway.
The key to a solid bench is a rigid body to create a solid base to can push from
