Training With Mike Thurston

- I’m joined by Mike Thirston as we “bang weights” and chat shyte. I DO APOLOGISE THAT THE AUDIO ISN’T 100%. One of the magnets for the mics got lost so it had to go in the tshirt and I do admit it is slightly muffled.
Enjoy
James

When Mike posted videos of him learning new things - BJJ, track & field, etc, - where he ran the risk of looking awkward or silly, I realized he has a humble side and is willing to step out of his comfort zone for all to see. I can respect a dude who doesn't take himself too seriously, yet is an absolute beast at what he does.
..... Mike's knowledge and his ability to give practical advice is on another level.
10-15 years of experience helps.
We can see you're having a blast there! And your authenticity is so refreshing! Keep it up 😊
Mike Thurston, the most natty influencer out there
So saucy
Mikey Trenston
@@Gojimaruorganic Tren because he’s natty
Second only to mattdoestren
Bitter lemons
Mike is a top bloke. I’m not into body building but love his videos. He’s such a humble and chilled out guy who has his head screwed on. He’s always super relaxed. Bloke seems to have time for everyone.
Great video learnt alot from that session for my own workouts. The range of motion was great cheers. Appreciate the upload. All the best from Tokyo
Solid video! The crocs and bare feet made me chuckle lol! Also agree that the suspension trainer is highly underrated!
You guys are my 2 favorite trainers. Seeing you together is such a pleasure. Both super stars!!!! Do more colabs!! Nnn
If you’re called Mike in the fitness industry there’s a huge chance you’re not natural
Baby don’t hurt me
Loved it! I was hoping you'd train with Mike
Class double can’t wait to watch this banger
Great collab!
great video, nice to see and hear some proper workout advice and why do this and why not do this type. what mistakes people do. a matt, mike & james video would be interesting.
Spot on 🙌🏻
The Real Mike, Good Video
Epic video. Two of my favourite fitness legends engaging in their wealth of experience together, whilst pumping some ridiculous weights 😅 James…. you’ve set a precedence, a TRX video focusing on core muscle groups 💪🏻 is something which is lacking from most fitness influencers. You could change this…..my wee TRX straps (Amazon alternatives) need to be fired up again 🤜🏻🤛🏻 I mean who doesn’t love a pike! 😉
Without respect, there is no adherence.......what a quote James
Awesome video 👊🏻
I’ve followed Mike since he had 5k subs and he replied to my instagram dms back and then and he still does now
A genuine dude who cares about his audience
Legend!
This looks dope!
Mike is as natty as the Kardashian’s
Great colab
James is such a physical specimen there is no way he's natty! 👀
He's most definitely the most natural athlete
Sarcasm? I honestly cant tell
Which athlete?
Most naturally good at hiding that secret sauce
I agree. James is a natural athlete
@@pezza2113bruh…. When training for that long….
It’s easy to look that good.
But if you need to delude yourself that he is on juice so that you can cope with reality…
Well do so, but that’s weak minded behaviour.
James and Mike are my favourite UK fitness influencers.
Throwing in my boy Joe Delaney as well 🙌🏽💯
@@BlackForLife09 and joe fazer. Top 4
One of them is in Dubai and the other is in Australia...
@@uniqueusername9323They’re both from the Uk
@@MannyRiberaOriginal MattDoesFitness is pretty sound too
i know you were sat drinking a cuppa thinking about when the best time to upload this collab was
Great video
Not sure who's the bigger fake natty Mike Thurston or the panda guy
The panda guy who does fasting?😂
Is Michael not natural?
@DubSalvation more than likely not, its not been proven but 99.99% of people won't look like him even with the secret sauce
Simone panda obv
I like Mike Thurston, he seems like a nice geezer. Wish he was honest about his natural status though. Maybe he is but personally I think he’s on some TRT which is absolutely fine btw. I’ve been on it since 2016 and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. For some mental reason I just stopped producing it naturally and I’ve never been on the gear. Oh one more thing - Mike said he wanted the same tests that Matt does fitness had but it’s not possible in Dubai. No problem, just have the equivalent version that they provide over there? If you were honest regarding your natty status then you can get it done. I’m not being negative (no pun intended) as I really don’t care if you’re natty or not. On a more positive (pun intended) note, I think you’re one of the best fitness influencers out there.
He's not 'on TRT'. He is blasting test.
Legends
Thurston probably has some of the best training advice out there. He also probably has some of the best genetics out there. But him and James weigh the same (95kg) but there's such a massive size difference, it's crazy!
As a skeptic, I'd say he's on something, but he needs to do that to be as successful as he is because the whole world is full of abusers of gear. I love watching his workout bids (especially the recent ones) and all the best to both him and James.
If you think Mike is even close.to natural you need head examination
@@derekporter66 ok bro science. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. Who really cares? I'm just judging him based on his training advice.
@@Superzesh101 bro science. Stfu. You think someone at around 5 ft 11 can be 15 stone 10 ish percent year round ? Clueless. Enjoy your test booster supps.
These are the only 2 fitness dudes I watch.
Influencers making videos with other influencers to try & sell yet another zero value soft drink - beyond sad
Just 2 guys hanging out. No one needs to kiss🤗
I first heard Mike on a podcast before I saw him. I thought he was intelligent and articulate, good to listen to. I was actually disappointed when I saw him, everything influencer that I don't relate to - but that just shows my bias. Fair play to the lot of them
James, what's that peptide you were taking, i can't find that video. Did you take it down?
There one's dude in this vid who swears blind he's lifetime natty and, somewhat incredibly, it's not James.
He has really good form and attitude to training, speed of pressing is spot on. But i reckon he used maybe some test in the past hard work has kept the mass though. Fair dos
He’s on test and other compounds for sure. But still knows what he’s doing has good genetics good work ethic etc.
Only just discovered james recently great content, also anyone else think he sounds like chris eubank jr?
20:30 unintentional David Brent? 😂
Benching the bar with just clips on is a new one for me
12:08
@@jamesbaz28 thats too good 🗿
Ah, I like your stuff James but I'll give this one a miss. Thurston isn't my sort of bloke. It wasn't at all cool how he treated that lovely girl in Dubai. Look forward to the next one.
It’s damn near impossible to keep your scapulas retracted throughout the whole set of bench press lol. It’s perfectly safe and effective to let your scapulas protract and retract during pushing and pulling exercises
Just say you don’t know how to train with correct form
@@br-fitness Look up Mike from RP training he will explain it to you. No need to be ignorant.
Uncle Mike!
Must of been that jet lag 😂😂😂
Trains and promotes the very people he was against. Money went to his head, hope that AP and Urus makes you happy 😅
20:14 James trying to stimulate his ADHD brain during the conversation, that cracked me up
came to the comments for exactly this 😂
This comment section, deary me. Mike is great, one of the best fitness TH-camrs by far. Natty or not who gives af.
Dam James already deleting comments and screening his comment section on his community post so un professional as a growing YT channel Brits really cant take constructive criticism 😂😂😂😂😂 so weak
I like Mike's video's wether he is natty or not... It's his choice to take or don't take shit and to tell or not tell anyone about it... He loves his life and what he is doing, so whatever anyone types behind a screen far away doesn't matter...
Doesn’t matter what you think, lying about your natural status is morally unacceptable. It sets false expectations for young people and can lead them down a bad path.
24:47 my boi in the background swimming with weights
Not enough black t-shirts in this video
Got match Gym equipment
Oh James, you had us believing that you were a real human being. Then you drop an energy drink and a video with Mike Thurston in the same week..
Although I don’t particularly like it when people aren’t transparent about what they take. I don’t think we should discredit people (James) if they are associated with other people (Mike) who are under scrutiny about there physical progress. For all we know James could hold a sceptical opinion about Mikes physique.
And the drink product that James and Chris have made is a legitimate productivity supporting product. It’s got scientifically efficacious ingredients that aid in cognition. What’s so wrong with that ? There’s other people that promote much worse products that are full of false marketing.
That yellow hair dye leaked to his brain.
Coupla things:
What I like about James is that he promotes a life of finding happiness without excess.
Modesty/honesty/accountability.. Neither Dubai nor Mike Thurston represent that. Thats why this video doesn't feel like a good fit with James' brand.
Similar story for the energy drink. No one needs an energy drink. If productivity is a really problem in your life, then you need to address your lifestyle. Sleep, job, exercise, attitude, work/life balance.
Another reason why the planet doesn't need more energy drinks, is that packaged water/beverages are the worlds highest freighted commodity. This leads me back to my 'without excess point'. If were not all going to the crushed by tidal waves in 50 years time, we need to not all be trying to start businesses which pander to rampant consumerism. An energy drink company doesn't solve a problem, it creates one. Efficacy aside, and in terms of environmental impact, it's no different to Prime or CocaCola.
Same goes with flying all the way from Aus to Dubai for sake of 10mins of TH-cam 'content'.
Being a highly regarded personal trainer IS enough. Being a TH-camr IS enough. Without all the extra fluff. @@harrymawdesley8343
Dude when opportunity comes knocking you say yes and you iron out the details, your dislike in Mike and energy drinks is literally noted by no one bro, grow up, be better.
Remember, If it sounds like a horse, it's probably a horse.
Serious question. Did you have to pay him. I often wonder if a youtuber with lots of subscribers charges a youtuber with less subscribers to collab.
Nah I dont think so. Mike goes way back with Chris Williamson, and James is hanging out with Chris a lot apparently. Im guessing they linked up through Chris
James did you get his cycle details?
I’m sorry for saying this but… Mike IS NOT NATTY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?!
Sorry, just got a bit mad there. I still love you James 👍
Say whatever about Mike - but when to comes to lifting for hypertrophy, and maintaining muscle mass, he’s incredibly well experienced and informed, and gives great advice and tips, particularly on the mechanics and planes of movement. If he’s running Test so what.. he’s in his 30s. It won’t ever give you a body like his. The combo of great genetics, diet, and ridiculous levels of consistency and discipline will.
Reason for Mike having more followers than you James is he's more calm and confident and he also knows how to mount his microphone so we can hear what he's saying unlike in your case just fucking background noise. Love you anyway....
Called it
Twins!
Hypocrisy at its finest!!!
The White Can!!
25:00 guy in the corner. never seen that excercise in my entire life
This feels so awkward
Doesn't help that James has no idea what he's talking about 😅
"When you hear hooves"
Also just received 2 cases of Tropical Ice Neutonic and it's the pengest. Beautiful work!
No oil was hurt in the making of this video
why you not spoting bruh?
anyone know who that is at 0:40???
Mr life time natty..... in order of nattyness next has to come matt does fitness, simeon panda... then mike o'tren
I used to follow Mike, but not anymore as for me his videos just became one dimensional for me.
He’s actually pretty dull
Eat clen, Tren hard anavar give up
thanks for the intro to Mike, he actually looks like he does fitness - now I dont need to follow this page anymore Mike has some great tips on his page
Mike Thurston always says: "TREN hard. Eat CLEN. TEST yourself. ANAVAR give up!"
Anyone know which Nike shorts Mike is wearing?
look like Nike Dri-FIT Academy 23, but they look better if you have legs for fitted look
They’re from the kid’s department
@@JamesSmithPT They are actually women's, dead srs. See other reply on this thread haha
@@MrRedbonez123 Thanks! I'm 99% sure they are the women's version. The uneven length either side of the white stripe on the side is the giveaway. The men's version don't have this.
you know what, i thought the exact same!@@mattdj2752
Mike Thurstren. James has used steroids in the past and has decent muscle mass after discontinuing use with natural hormone levels or trt levels , still weight training. Yet how much bigger Mike the supposed natty is compared to James. A picture says a thousand words or so the saying goes.
Yeah, Mike is not natural. I hate when influencers lie and set false expectations for their audience. Stop being an asshole and tell us what you’re on, is that so hard?
Mike Trenston
I think you need to work on the taste of your drinks... Jokes aside, great and "refreshing" content as always.
Liberally everyone is wearing a plain black tee-shirt lol
try being injured.... indeed i have tendonitis in my right elboy and i have had zero progress in 3 months now. And i feel it will take another 3-6 for it to be gone if it will be gone... i was making great progress but i made the mistake of training 7 times a week i think. Either that or i fucked something else up.
James, you're done lol
Natty or not it is still a lot of hard work and consistency to maintain that physique.
No it's not lol
No it’s not lol
James, you need some legs and a tan.
Mike Thirston more like girls thirstin, very unlikely collab made likely. I'm all in for James growing his channel and getting it done with other influencers, well entertaining with some great advice by both men.
Love Mike but even Stevie Wonder could see this cnuts on gear
James would you consider living in Dubai?
No 😂
I don't actually know who this guy is.
waffler 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe Mikes mum is built like a Samoan because his dad certainly is not. This may explain his tanned skin.🤣🤣🤣
Mike is that 1 in a nation level genetics, he is the British version of Joel Kellet imo. Great vid James! Thanks for not bumping the weight up and embarrassing Mike during this session, truly gentlemanly of you sir.
Was the genetics part being sarcastic? Can't knock Mike at all, seems a down to earth great guy.. But him telling people he is natural is obsurd. It's a con the people that look up to him.. Honesty is key in his position.
@@Jrd-kn4dw Go look up Joel Kellet, he is a natural Aussie bodybuilder, people have dubbed him the 'natty arnold', he has crazy genetics, honesty and integrity seem to be a fundamental cornerstone of his personality, before i saw what he has achieved i would have said they are all lying and on gear but idk anymore, i believe mike could be natural. Like Joel he could have just hit the genetic lottery.
I believe him and Joel, the human genetic spectrum is absurdly large. 1 in a million genetics
JAMES PLEASE USE A MIC NEXT TIME
Honestly the fact that James didn’t even press with scapular retraction before mike told him Is embarrassing … this guy doesn’t know anything
2 Natty Legends!!
1 natty legend here, and it ain’t Mike 😂
Find him a bit of a big head... it's not jealously... ... honest.
When you see Uncle Mike at 00:57 - 01:15 in this video, considering just how often he trains and the fact he's loaded so probably has the ultimate in nutrition etc, does he really look like a fake natty? In fantastic condition and lean with top off but surely someone using roids would look much bulkier in that clip there.
04:00 - 04:15 would also say he's in great condition but not on roids etc. You see NFL players who are drug tested in that sort of condition so yeah.
LISTEN TO HOW MUCH DEEPER MIKE’s voice was on his videos 6 years ago, he’s defo not natural
Yeah Mike has a nice looking face
