Always enjoyable to watch these interviews with Dr. Mike. At the end of the interview Dr. Mike mentions discussing sports training for his next visit. That would be a great interview to watch.
I love how even though Dave has been doing this for so long, these podcasts never miss! Im convinced that EliteFTS and Dave will still be the number 1 source of info for lifting until the asteroid comes 🤣
That was awesome! When you get Dave Tate and Mike Israetel together you get two people who are interested in educating people and helping them get better. They put out so much high-quality content for free that you can truly see that they are not solely motivated by money. I wish them both continued success.
Looking forward to more content by the two of you together. ❤Its informative, hilarious and entertaining, being that you are on the same wavelenghth. Loved it! ❤
Pardon the departure from training talk but... is Dr. Mike sporting a GBRS Group T-Shirt? Because that's a collaboration I would die to see. Praise be to Space King.
Heroin movies never end well. Hollywood movies are great to show the difference between pot and heroin. Pot is Cheech and Chong, Harold and Kumar, and Pineapple Express, heroin is Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream. You don't want any part of heroin.
A close friend of mine tried smoking heroin once and once only, said it was too good and he could see himself losing everything to it. Another friend had a fairly long relationship fixing H, and had been clean for 30 + years, and to this day, can't watch any scene in a movie where someone is shooting up, he has to get up and leave the room, the mental pull of it is that strong even 30 years on
When I was given morphine in hospital, I realised I could never dabble in heroin at all. It was arguably a very bad situation as to why I was in hospital, but I remember the morphine made it the greatest time ever and I can still remember 10 years later how great it felt.
Great episode. Even though you had to ruin my day with the alternating bicep curls thing shooting down one of my staples lol, I'll definitely be back for the sports strength convo. if you can make a note for that one to address what us old guys that are still active in sports can do that would be great! (52 yr old hockey goalie here)
Rack pulls with a wide grip, and right under my knees have helped me tremendously in that I’ve been breast-feeding for the last year and I have this giant baby to lug around so my upper back has been a mess. I noticed if I do them at least once a week it keeps things Pretty good for me. Other than that, I rather just do deadlifts because time and may as well hit everything
Not gonna build strength or size with rack pulls, but I can see it helping you with functionality like you said. Most people just use it for ego obviously I’m not saying you do
After watching so many of friends speed run through life... I'm glad that I never took drugs/roids ... their health is ruined now but I'm still in the gym going strong...
@@pricklycatsss my age now then as I'm 50 😂... I don't feel the need to take anything as I've been able to maintain most of size and strength and I always take care of the most important muscle I have which is my heart 😉
At 18 I was 58kg (127) around 26 years old I was 75kg (165) about this time I transitioned to a vegan. At 28/29 I started training with an actual program with intensity. Got up to 95kg (210) this only took me a year of bulking drug free. (And creatine) I've been on maintenance ever since. But I'm sure I could have put on a lot more size if I continued to bulk. I'll remain natty because I've got no interest in body building. I literally got jacked to play better beer league ice hockey. It was a secondary goal. The body is capable of a lot natural. Taking gear should really be considered properly and this video explains that well.
Hey bro, I’ve been asking a lot about creatine. I’m 16 right now and would you recommend it? Like are the results that extreme or could I probably just drink more water and get the same effect?
The point when you talked about that realist and the enabler one needs to be great: i think you both are both ! You are the reason that soooo many kids and young men and even older manlets like me are hyped for the gym ever fn day 😎😎
Yeah Dave, get Dr Mike back for a Strength side and also a Sports side. But also, get him back for a Thirsty Comments side: search his channel's comments section, I'm sure you will find some interesting stuff...for entertainment's sake! just a light-hearted segment of a future podcast, you the right man for it.
I get crazy pumps from tricep cable single arm kickbacks. It took me years to be able to feel it in my tricep tho. But now that I do feel it, there's no other exercise that gives me the same pump besides DB kickbacks
Weed use totally blew up when it was legalized lol. I now know no one who doesnt smoke. Everyone hitting their pens all day, edibles all the time, etc lol
I can attest that train spotting is an accurate depiction of opiate addiction and withdrawal. Don’t do sleepy drugs kids, unless you wanna potentially sleep forever.
“What’s a ‘strip set’…? It sounds sexy.” 🤣 - gotta love Dr.Mike. 👊 Nobody throws in more quality BS(aka humor) while dispensing such high quality, NON-BS content. One of a kind. Dare I say LEGEND.
This was an epic start of a podcast bahahaha!!! The Are You A Meat Head? Questionnaire!!! Fucking hilarious! I think I’m a meathead as well…Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
I’m confused so is the seated calve raise machine bad to do? Or was he just saying if you do it wrong it is bad, wrong as in overloading it with weight and doing half reps etc.
“A friend” told me that you have to make sure your mental health is pretty solid, before you hop on gear. In addition, one’s partner should be informed, educated, and be somewhat on board. They can often be a good source of reason when the paranoia sets in, or when one is angry at the world and everyone on it for no reason. Lastly, the agreement should be made that your partner or a close friend can say “Hey, you are out of line, you need to come off.”, and if you agree to that, then it’s a good motivation to simply not let your emotions run out of control - because you don’t want to go off, therefore you’ll figure out how to handle mental sides. But I wouldn’t know any of this that is just what my friend told me😉😅
Im not a fan of a bro split. But they work well cuz of the crazy volumes and longer recovery. Plus you get cross over (with lower volume for the cross over exercises). Ex Some may do Biceps and Shoulders on the same day. Then 3 days later they do Back and Calves
I love that after that second question about eating it gives the impression that UK restaurants are all hoity-toity about clothing and won't let you in unless you're in Sunday best, your favourite monocle and father's top hat, when in reality that's bonkers and for the most part you can dress however the fuck you want. Now excuse me, my chariot is outside.

SO HAPPY MY WORKOUT DOESNT INCLUDE ANY OF THE MENTIONED INEFFECTIVE EXERCISES LOL ! GREAT UPLOAD !
I'm a simple man: I see Dr Mike, I click.
Truest comment here I see I click
💯
Real
You sure are simple
I'm a simple man: I see Dr Mike I touch myself😊
Always nice to see long form Dr Mike content!
I’ve probably listened to 30+ podcast episodes with Dr. Mike and there’s still like 100 more left lmao
This is the most well-intentioned, wholesome discussion about steroids I've ever heard.
Whoever is in charge of finding clips for the shorts must love when Mike comes on, content for days 😂
My name is Owen🤠
@@eliteftsofficialthanks owen
@@eliteftsofficialI like that Owen hearted his own comment.
I’ll heart yours too..
@@eliteftsofficialwe love you too Owen
Dr. Mike rules.
Would be cool to see Jared Feather on here
Please please don't wait 6 months to a year to have him back to talk about S&C for sports. Two of my favorite people to listen to.
Dave and Dr.Mike whats not to love!
Mike led me through a leg workout last month. Fucking killed me. He's the real deal
You’re jacked dude
Mike’s perspective on the steroid question lying or not was very eye opening and totally correct. Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
He also didn’t mention sponsorships - I think a lot of athletes lie or avoid that question for fear of losing monetary support
@@strongmansam289Yeah, that's a little worse. 😬😬😬
This is by far my favorite interview of Mike. He honesty and kindness explaining the drugs is amazing! I cant wait to share this with my students.
Great Pod Dave! I love hearing Dr. Mike's insights. Very well-thought-out and easy to digest.
hands down the best TT session in a while - thanks Dave and Mike
Yea Dr Mikes back! Love this podcast duo!
So much good info in here. "Most people only need side delt work", "Deficit deadlifts will bulletproof your back"
Always enjoyable to watch these interviews with Dr. Mike. At the end of the interview Dr. Mike mentions discussing sports training for his next visit. That would be a great interview to watch.
I love how even though Dave has been doing this for so long, these podcasts never miss! Im convinced that EliteFTS and Dave will still be the number 1 source of info for lifting until the asteroid comes 🤣

Looking forward to seeing a long video of Mike! Haven’t watched EliteFTS in just under a year but I’m sure this will be a good one!
This took a few visits to finish as its so long but my god the amount of information is unbelievable.
Great episode Dave! I look forward to Mike coming back to talk about strength training for sport.
This is gold, love you guys the impact of what you’ve done has no limits. Thanks!
I wish you could do a dr mike monthly
I dig the new intro, Dave! Good job getting Mike on as well 👏
Great balance between dead serious and hillarious. A lot of great info and wisdom in this one
Having to stop the podcast to get a meal in is real af 😂
Looking forward to more content by the two of you together. ❤Its informative, hilarious and entertaining, being that you are on the same wavelenghth.
Loved it! ❤
Thanks for helping me get through some cardio!
Great video! can't wait for next one!
Would love to see a conversation with Dr Mike talking about training sport athletes especially hockey players. Please make it happen soon!
Could they put a wind screen over the microphone? Their breathing is like listening to 2 pugs try to eat a Sack full of peanut butter
Could defo use some better audio editing in general
Liked this podcast a lot. Mike is always a good listen.
Alot of value in this podcast!
Great podcast.
The Dr. spittin fax
Thanks alot fellas .❤❤❤
Those two topics at the end would be amazing!!
Pardon the departure from training talk but... is Dr. Mike sporting a GBRS Group T-Shirt? Because that's a collaboration I would die to see. Praise be to Space King.
Great video! Mike is right, Trainspotting is awesome
My two favorite channels coming together again? Say less. LFG
Delightful. Loved it fellers
Nice episode! I haven't finished yet but hopefully you guys get into some strength training talk as well
Heroin movies never end well. Hollywood movies are great to show the difference between pot and heroin. Pot is Cheech and Chong, Harold and Kumar, and Pineapple Express, heroin is Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream. You don't want any part of heroin.
Man this whole time I thought heroin and pot were the same thing 😋
I did heroin once and never did it again. Not everyone is the same lol
I actually never enjoyed opioids much luckily. They just made me feel more mentally disabled than I already am. Stimulants were great though.
A close friend of mine tried smoking heroin once and once only, said it was too good and he could see himself losing everything to it.
Another friend had a fairly long relationship fixing H, and had been clean for 30 + years, and to this day, can't watch any scene in a movie where someone is shooting up, he has to get up and leave the room, the mental pull of it is that strong even 30 years on

Great real discussion.
Awesome episode :) Lovely bante and info!
Menno is very intelligent and he listens and pays attention and puts in the time research like Jeff and it shows
Great episode. Even though you had to ruin my day with the alternating bicep curls thing shooting down one of my staples lol, I'll definitely be back for the sports strength convo. if you can make a note for that one to address what us old guys that are still active in sports can do that would be great!

I’ll probably start steroids once I’m
like 50-60 or something and then for my last decade or two just use TRT lol
@@pricklycatsss my age now then as I'm 50 😂... I don't feel the need to take anything as I've been able to maintain most of size and strength and I always take care of the most important muscle I have which is my heart 😉
Same, but mushrooms are not too shabby
awesome episode
Mike saying he has never been to planet fitness makes me want to se Dave and Mike go there together!
Thank you Gentlemen!

Please do the strength and conditioning for sport athletes. I would love to watch a podcast about that!
The fact that you had to stop the podcast for him to eat I think passed the meathead test!
Dr Mike always cracks me up 😂
Is it ok if I eat real quick 🥺🙂 god bless Dr Mike what an angel
Amazing talk
Outstanding
The point when you talked about that realist and the enabler one needs to be great: i think you both are both ! You are the reason that soooo many kids and young men and even older manlets like me are hyped for the gym ever fn day 😎😎

Mike needs to come back and discuss the strength side!!
already in the works
Trainspotting is amazing. That baby scene is crazy.
Holy shit let’s go this is going to be awesome!
Dr. Mike, remember big arms win every argument!
Great content
Needs more views
The "non gym goers as civilians" was so funny 😂
I get crazy pumps from tricep cable single arm kickbacks. It took me years to be able to feel it in my tricep tho. But now that I do feel it, there's no other exercise that gives me the same pump besides DB kickbacks
Weed use totally blew up when it was legalized lol. I now know no one who doesnt smoke. Everyone hitting their pens all day, edibles all the time, etc lol
I can attest that train spotting is an accurate depiction of opiate addiction and withdrawal. Don’t do sleepy drugs kids, unless you wanna potentially sleep forever.
I admire and love discussions about strength training and diet sprinkled with intelligence.👍,2025
Awesome
“What’s a ‘strip set’…? It sounds sexy.” 🤣
- gotta love Dr.Mike. 👊
Nobody throws in more quality BS(aka humor) while dispensing such high quality, NON-BS content. One of a kind. Dare I say LEGEND.
This was an epic start of a podcast bahahaha!!! The Are You A Meat Head? Questionnaire!!! Fucking hilarious! I think I’m a meathead as well…Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
2:30:24 cool, Dr. Mike finally noticed me... except I'm not mean...and I cant speak chinese, but I understand the example 😀❤
OK- a break to eat in the middle of the podcast makes him score 100 on the meathead test HAHAHA
Can I take a break and eat real quick? That was real af 😂
I’m confused so is the seated calve raise machine bad to do? Or was he just saying if you do it wrong it is bad, wrong as in overloading it with weight and doing half reps etc.
How can someone maintain good mental health while consuming excessive steroids? I imagine the anxiety attacks must be intense.
“A friend” told me that you have to make sure your mental health is pretty solid, before you hop on gear. In addition, one’s partner should be informed, educated, and be somewhat on board. They can often be a good source of reason when the paranoia sets in, or when one is angry at the world and everyone on it for no reason. Lastly, the agreement should be made that your partner or a close friend can say “Hey, you are out of line, you need to come off.”, and if you agree to that, then it’s a good motivation to simply not let your emotions run out of control - because you don’t want to go off, therefore you’ll figure out how to handle mental sides.
But I wouldn’t know any of this that is just what my friend told me😉😅
Funny and educationalish
Man, these chapters are *not* right in a few places! 😆
Chihuahuas!!!! AHHHHHH omg this is the best comic strength routine ever
Honestly wished I would’ve waited. Some cool shit happened but I’m not huge and I didn’t have anything set before I started.
Audio seems kinda off. Any idea what's going on there?
Is the meat-head test posted anywhere?
Any tips for nice traps? Not the eddie murphy kind.
Im not a fan of a bro split. But they work well cuz of the crazy volumes and longer recovery. Plus you get cross over (with lower volume for the cross over exercises). Ex Some may do Biceps and Shoulders on the same day. Then 3 days later they do Back and Calves
1:24:40 Why deadlifts tho and not a Jefferson Curl of some sort?
Great
Go Blue!
I love drugs. I quit around 3 years ago but I’ll probably use recreationally. They aren’t bad or life consuming if you can control it
1:28:22 I like DB rows lol
No stop it! Lol I'm looking down because I can't believe how huge it is
Dr. Izzy what up yeah hell yeah shit yeah my work day is better
I love that after that second question about eating it gives the impression that UK restaurants are all hoity-toity about clothing and won't let you in unless you're in Sunday best, your favourite monocle and father's top hat, when in reality that's bonkers and for the most part you can dress however the fuck you want.
Now excuse me, my chariot is outside.
Breathing sounds like your on a walkie talkie 😂
I need the meathead screening list.
I’ve never understood PED or GEAR. Maybe bc all my goals seem humanly possible naturally ? 😂
Requiem for a Dream is also a great movie to show the kids that drugs can be fun buuut with some side effects
❤❤❤
