Thanks for asking him about the egg study, I asked about it over on an RP webinar but I doubt it’ll get answered there. I think the calories were equated though, so it’d be interesting to hear some theories on the mechanisms there.
Holy shit, the last question is EX-FUCKING-AXCTLY what I am wondering for weeks now after my first meso and watching the RP training video. You are the man, Steve!
Mike really puts out great and fantastic information. I learned so much from him. If he could just admit that training to true failure involves bar speed slowing, we are on the honnest path again
There is a study that matched calories in full fat milk (237g) vs an isocalorically matched fat free milk (393g) and the full fat milk still resulted in higher protein synthesis even though the fat free milk was higher in protein, carbs and leucine. Elliot et al 2006 is the study
Tyvm for the last question, i was frustrated with RIR and just burned myself faster before i even hit Peak week, now i will just go with "Mini PRs" and just follow the plan 👍🏼
Well. I'll be honest, you weren't my first, but you were the second BB podcast I started watching. First was Sigma Nutrition podcast, sorry :D But I haven't been following his podcast for years already nowadays, but instead yours is the number one I do listen.
I actually put my leg training on the back burner to focus on my upper body as I'm trying to be a competitive armwrestler. Luckily my legs grow and maintain their size easier compared to my incredibly stubborn arms.
Ive been lifting for 6 years now kind of like a complete scrub that makes a new program every week xD and this video literally changed every thing ive ever based my training around. i hope this stops my fully body plateau XDD
Can steroids potentially be a healthier route to go if you want to get decently big? At least healthier on your joints and overall skeletal structure since you don't have to lift as long or hard to achieve results
I would think it's the opposite since aas are really good for making your muscles big and strong, but don't do much for your connective tissue: much stronger muscles + same joints -> snap city; and that disregarding a whole host of side effects of aas
In response to you at around 10:20 - I started training in 2019 at 19, was the least 'sporty' p[erson through school (you can imagine how in UK state schools its you either like it or hate it), but got turned on to training at uni to just lose weight initially. I'm lucky that i'm naturally a very analytical person and honestly couldn't go into a gym without learning actually what to do (maybe I get that from a background in snooker). So in my first month of training I was already watching Mike Israetel, Yourself, John Meadows, etc and absorbing as much as I could. I know now that a lot of the minutia went over my head initially but the key principles stuck, and I think even listening to stuff that would clearly go over me helped initiate myself in the more nuanced way of thinking about this stuff. Physically, I'm no way near anything impressive and definitely don't look like I love this stuff as much as I do - 5'7 at 150lbs around 15-17% bf but if I just compare my own progress to now I'm doing well IMO!
That's amazing to hear man, you're definitely starting with an advantage being a critical thinker and being analytical! Thanks for watching! - Coach Jess
The way Lyle insulted Steve who's genuinely the nicest person in the world was just despicable so chances of having him on are extremely low (aka it'll never happen^^) - Coach Jess
What is Dr.Mike's take on not "feeling the target muscle working" even though the exercise is biomechanically impossible to do without the target muscle contracting? For example if someone were to do barbell bench press with good technique and proper programming but would not really feel his pecs all that well, would you still recommend this exercise for someone? Because to my understanding it is impossible not to use your pecs when performing the bench press/chest press machines when using proper technique. So how much of a factor is "feel" when choosing exercises for hypertrophy if the exercise is otherwise sufficient? Love this podcast and Dr Mike! Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the question, Otto! You can ask this question on our Facebook group, Steve will make a post to submit questions for the next Q&A with Mike :) As to try to answer your question, I think it's about the magnitude of MMC. So you could have near perfection technique but not feel your pecs much on a bench press, which would still provide some hypertrophy. But there could be another exercise or variation like dumbbells press that could give you hypertrophy and a better MMC, which I would almost always advise then! But Mike would have a better answer haha! - Coach Jess
Would how close you train to failure and how much volume you can handle differ in comparison to naturals and enhanced ? I’ve been a long time subscriber ever since Mike first came on the podcast and to be honest with you I feel as if Naturals need to train closer to failure to induce muscle growth, where as enhanced individual are in a constant state of being anabolic. What do you think ?
I'm not too sure and I'm sure of only one thing it's that it's also probably very individual dependent, definitely a question to ask for the next Q&A! - Coach Jess
Hello all, if you put legs on the back burner, and just work it within the strength rep range, would you still train quads first in a session? Or save them for after your more prioritized muscle groups? Arms then quads(same workout)?😅
As a guy that lives in the 3-4 rep range (been training for 14y now)..this makes me sad. My goal was always to use strength to get to say - a reasonable bench weight (315lb) then simply keep that weight adding reps to make it more hypertrophic. Simply doing high rep high volume of 225lb bench 2-3 reps shy of failure doesn’t seem as hypertrophic as opposed to 315lb.
After 2 years of lifting I was 286 lbs/130 kg (it was the creatine lol). Now (after taming insuline resistance), about 220 lbs/100 kg lol and have abs and serratus showing.

Strength rep ranges will most likely leave you very fatigued, neurologically too. So if you prioritize something, put if first :)
