Dr Mike! It would be a treat to see you put Jeff Nippard through your workout. I know he gets shit for not training hard enough, so how's about you show everyone how fit he is?

How to spot a good coach ? Well, when the consigns are clear, while he's encouraging, whil he knows when you need to push and when you need to stop, and on top, when he's 100lbs bigger than you but still keep complementing you on your physique to pump you up. Love your work !
Deadlifts at the end of a back workout.... Never thought about prefatigue for something like a deadlift. Makes perfect sense to target more back and les Hamstrings and glute.
I questioned this too. I guess that makes sense. What about injury risk vs reward from the prefatigued back muscles? I’m interested cause I’ve always been told the opposite
@@j.o8707 if you see they were using very light weight, the second guy was using only… I think like 185? You definitely put way less weight on than you would at the start.
Akshually, the back hamstrings and glutes would take over more, the more fatigued the back is, but I guess that if the weight is low you can control it more so you have a better mind-muscle connection with the back.
I am extremely envious of people that get a training session with Mike. There's no doubt in my mind, that it is a life lesson and you will genuinely be a changed person afterwards... For the better. Blessed are those who are trained by Dr. Mike
The music and the soundeffects and the edits together with Mike's style makes me feel like I'm watching The Amazing Race (bodybuilding edition)! It's awesome 👌
I'm stealing this. Deadlifts for reps at end of back day is so smart. I usually do them first so i have more energy for them but it makes way more sense to light up your lower back when its already tired
Awesome video! It would be awesome Dr.Mike if you did a video for first responders about shift work and training. Some tips for sleep deprivation, eating and exercise. Thanks for what you do!!!!
Great video and I am very much looking forward to doing this exact workout. I am interested in your Renaissance periodization app but all that I could find was the diet app. Is there a different name I should be looking for? Does it line out with specific exercises on a six or seven day regimen? Could you do a video on TH-cam talking about exactly how to use the app the best way possible? Thank you for putting out such great content. It is very inspiring for a guy nearly 40 and looking to push the limits without injury. I also work in Fire and Rescue.
Dr. Mike, I like doing pull-ups at home starting with body weight, then trying to maintain the reps using heavier and heavier resistance bands. Smokes the lats!
Dr. Mike "Make sure to do warm-ups for your pull-ups". Never thought that's a thing, i've been jumping into weighted pull-ups without any warm-ups for like a year. Never really seemed necessary, although it's probably beneficial in the long run.
Great for injury prevention. Good for mind muscle connection too. Another thing you can do is do 2 or 3 reps with 110% of the weight you will be using. I've been doing this for this meso and it makes you feel like working weight is peanuts. Another tip from Mike.
Dr. Mike, today I started my deload of my 2nd mesocycle, during this meso I started doing front z-bar rows. I haven't stopped doing lateral rises, reverse flys, overhead press, however, for the first time in over a year I don't feel any pain in my shoulder(s). I can't claim that it was the front rows that did the trick, but I don't feel any pain neither in my shoulders nor in my elbows and that was the only new exercise I started. Maybe front bar rows have a bad reputation.
Dr Mike tries hard to kill two firefighters, but failed. They were too strong. No matter, as he killed the TH-cam chef yesterday! Intense workout. I'm sure they'll feel that workout tomorrow.
Regarding the cambered bar for row: I also have long arms, and it seems like I leave a lot of range of motion on the table on bent rows. I really only feel my back working on a row when I use dumbbells or do a Meadows Row. Would it be worth it to add a cambered bar to my home gym? I already get plenty of stretch with a standard barbell on bench, so I probably would be doing any pressing with it. Are there any other exercises that a cambered bar might be useful for?
Okay, but the Raptor also wouldn't just pop out and look at you for a second. It would attack right away and you wouldn't have the chance to turn and shoot.
When I tell people I use wrist straps on deadlifts I get so much hate, weak grip etc etc. When I reply, "Well by the time I get to 10 reps my grip's just about fried and my back's not even started yet. By the time I'm at 15reps my back's starting to burn, and by the time I hit 20reps my grip is just holding the straps on the bar". And they're like, "20reps for deadlifts?. Why not just 3?".
I think the Jurassic Park guy didn't shoot the raptor since he knew he was done for and actually respected the dinosaurs in a way. No need to kill one of them if he is 100% going to perish either way.
If I already have short arms, long torso, and relatively wide grip in conventional does my normal deadlift start to look closer to a deficit dead from a programming perspective?
So is the reason the last rep (and slow eccentric) are so good for growth is that the last of the unused muscle fibers are hitting their contraction stimulus threshold? I've heard a large portion of the fibers don't contract except in an emergency situation hence why people can lift a car off a child or whatever with insane nerve signals. Do those last reps close to failure make use of the those fibers that never fire on the first rep?
Bunch of good suggestions here. I do band or cable facepulls as a warmup for basically all my upper body work. Bands are really easy to use at home. You can also do banded lat pulldowns from the pullup bar, straight arm lat pressdowns/lat prayers with a band, or any rowing variation available to you. If I'm rowing to warm up, I like to go to a narrow grip / tuck my elbows so I can hit my lats a little better. I also like hammer curls to warm up the elbows💪
"horizontally, your boy's still at it" lol. legend
Dr Mike! It would be a treat to see you put Jeff Nippard through your workout. I know he gets shit for not training hard enough, so how's about you show everyone how fit he is?
Jeff quotes Dr. Mike enough: we need the Marvel cross-over!
After doing his programs, if he's doing them he most certainly is working hard enough lol.
Dr. Mike and Jeff Nippard are about the only fitness channels that actually do fitness. The rest are just click bait and drama bs.

Shoutout to Scott for the nice picture-in-picture editing, keeping Dr. Mike's joke going while showing the exercise. From one video guy to another.
Dr. Mike is just the best. Great info, great guidance, logical insight, and lots of laughs.
“Any shout outs? You guys in a gang?” lmao 😂😂😂😂
I’ve never heard the word “gentle” being used in such a visceral and intense manner before. Beautiful
Oh, I love Dr. Mike's explanation for why assisted pullups. Keepin' it real. 👍

Love for editor for the music when the lifting. Draws you into the video.
Inspiring, truly!

With a lighter load than normal, sounds good.

I can't believe this was Dan's first week of his meso; they both did incredible.
I absolutely love that the first words of this video are slow and gentle. I say that shit to my clients all the time
These training/punishment videos are the best on the channel and this channel is the best fitness channel on TH-cam.
This trainer is the real deal badass ! I love how he trains and is tough, no ego!
Welcome to RP! You’ll find a lot more like this here

Blessed are those who are trained by Dr. Mike
Killed it fellas. harder than any back workout ive done
Since my name is Collin it felt like Dr. Mike was yelling at me to do more reps. I enjoyed that.
These guys were awesome! Super humble and professional.
High rep touch n go deficit pulls might be the most underrated exercise ever, they're the best.
Dr. Mikes humor gets me every time.😂
The music and the soundeffects and the edits together with Mike's style makes me feel like I'm watching The Amazing Race (bodybuilding edition)! It's awesome 👌
I'm stealing this. Deadlifts for reps at end of back day is so smart. I usually do them first so i have more energy for them but it makes way more sense to light up your lower back when its already tired
I've had good experience with ending on deadlifts. Also, last thing I want to do after deadlifts for reps is literally any other exercise.
More of them, and Dr. Mike you have to do a fire workout with those guys next time in gear. Great stuff!
Can't wait to do this back workout!! 😤 Thanks Dr. Mike!
Just watching these guys doing Deadlift at the end and thinking about the pumped back it must be a awesome finisher
Love this new editing style of picture in picture. Very helpful.
Awesome video! It would be awesome Dr.Mike if you did a video for first responders about shift work and training. Some tips for sleep deprivation, eating and exercise. Thanks for what you do!!!!
Sometimes I drink 2 meal replacements to get my protein in :(
Not sure how bad that is but it’s that or nothing sometimes
Dr Mikes should record his voice and loop the track for us “Slow slow slow. Big stretch. One more. Rack”
"as if another"
Always new equipment in the background. RP doing goooood
Your sense of humor is amazing 😂 at the start of every guest video I wonder what you are going to say
He keeps you wondering 😂
I would do ANYTHING to train with Dr. Mike
Mike's cue to them to start talking about watching the channel and workout irl vs in the vids has ME ROLLING!!!
4:20 Tom Platz getting wreckt
hey doc i know there’s a “fix your sldl” video but will you make one for conventional/deficit deadlifts?
Great video and I am very much looking forward to doing this exact workout.

Oof, my joints ache just thinking about that. 😆
Dr. Mike is hilarious, love it!
Great stuff RP!
Seeing some special deliveries in the BACKground. Sheeeeit!
3:32 goated tip damn
This one is solid.
Best back workout so far🙌🏻
I find deadlifts or carries to be the best pullup
warmup for me.
WAIT….Is there a better fitness channel?
Not that I’m aware of!
💪 🏋️♀️
I need to work out with this man some day
10:19 people are probably freaking out, however that looks like kyphosis which is completely natural ! I have that same curvature
Dammit Mike. Unwrap those new machines and give us a full gym tour!
Good shit Pal
Goddamn nice work from both of them! Brutal
FUN STUFF! I love this workout but with mainly mechanical dropsets.

Cool story bro
Could be the deload
Nope, the pain went away 2 weeks before the deload
Not the first time I've heard Dr. Mike scream, "gentle!"
Dr Mike
I’m sure someone has said it before, but how about inviting David Goggins? Can he break?????
Dr Mike with the zingers today.
Erector = Dr. Mike
These are definitely the guys you want to show up when the gym burnin down.
0:22 The RP lore runs deep.
I love it when Dr Mike yells “SLOW, GENTLE”
I have a potbelly and despise deadlifts with a passion
6:38 Never heard Dr. Mike drop so many f-bombs. It almost sounded like he was rapping (repping in his case)
Saying "sorry" while grinning, very genuine lol
"my b" haha
New machines!!! Wanna see!!!!!
The seriousness, tension,and intensity getting broken up with the most random Jurassic Park rant was kinda of funny.
I could listen to Dr. Mike yell and cat call at muscular men all day long.
Great fucking episode!!
Awesome 👍
Dr Mike tries hard to kill two firefighters, but failed. They were too strong. No matter, as he killed the TH-cam chef yesterday! Intense workout. I'm sure they'll feel that workout tomorrow.
Can you do a workout for MMA and or BJJ
You can tell Dr. Mike is passionate when every other word is fuck
Just told my dying grandma, she is deadlifting her deathbed now.
high rep deadlifts to failure lmfao dr mike chill bro damn
2:06 😂😂🤣💀
Dr. Mike Is an incredible trainer!! Sometimes you need to know you're doing dumb shit!! lol, and the way he says it leaves no room for doubt!!
Where is the RP gym at?
If I don’t feel like the gym I just go in do shit like this makes me feel great. But brain gets a bit spacey afterwards like wtf did you just do.
damn i dont even need music i could go beyond failure hearing this 5:42
As much as the tren twins make me want to hop on gear, Dr. Mike saying that he was born in 84 just made me commit to lifetime natty
Haha I thought the exact same thing about the raptor in Jurassic park 😂
Regarding the cambered bar for row: I also have long arms, and it seems like I leave a lot of range of motion on the table on bent rows. I really only feel my back working on a row when I use dumbbells or do a Meadows Row.

If you can afford it, you might as well give it a try.
Holy F I want to see the Jocko Willink navy seal workout. He does jiu jitsu too. You guys would get along great
Watching again after some years. When did he got so good at trash talking😂
Fuck yea! To failure and beyond!
Okay, but the Raptor also wouldn't just pop out and look at you for a second. It would attack right away and you wouldn't have the chance to turn and shoot.

“Last one, I swear to GOD…..one more!”😂
I think the Jurassic Park guy didn't shoot the raptor since he knew he was done for and actually respected the dinosaurs in a way. No need to kill one of them if he is 100% going to perish either way.
@Dr Mike, off topic but why did you get into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu vs other martial arts? Just curious. Video suggestion?
I'm literally clapping at my computer as if I'm in the fucking gym with you guys lmfao these videos are so sick
while watching Dr Mike I laugh so much that my dorm mates wake up
great explanation, what brand of cambered bar are you using?
If I already have short arms, long torso, and relatively wide grip in conventional does my normal deadlift start to look closer to a deficit dead from a programming perspective?
Dr Mike talking about Jurrasic Park keeps making me feel older and older
I was absolutely hoping when Dr Mike said swear to god, last one he would say I'm a damned liar, do another!!!
Dr.Mike is hilarious I couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole video.
"We have run out of good news for today". Scary shit.
🎉GENTLE!!!! 😂

Do those last reps close to failure make use of the those fibers that never fire on the first rep?
For those us still working out at home, with barbell dumbbells and squat rack only, what's a good way to warm up pullups?
Pull up bar and bands
Get something to stand on and use legs to assist.
Rows or invest in some TRX or better yet some gymnastic rings
do inverted rows on your barbell. lie down under the barbell and pull yourself up that way. adjust the height and angle to whatever you can handle.
Bunch of good suggestions here. I do band or cable facepulls as a warmup for basically all my upper body work. Bands are really easy to use at home. You can also do banded lat pulldowns from the pullup bar, straight arm lat pressdowns/lat prayers with a band, or any rowing variation available to you.
