Hi Dr. Mike, on a future episode could you address scoliosis and bodybuilding symmetry? I have a slight curve in my back which means there are muscle imbalances. I am sure there are others with more severe cases which may benefit from a discussion, not just from an aesthetic POV, but from a health and functional one. Thanks!

“The reason why we science folks don’t do bro shit is because we found a slightly better way of doing things” omg the burn is so subtle, so diplomatic, so expertly delivered. 😂
I found Dr Mike recently and absolutely love it. Due to health issues i cannot train like i would love to but the knowledge combined with entertainment is just fantastic. Thank you for all the great content.
Mike, you keep making these workout review videos and you just might make a name for yourself on the youtubes. Jokes aside, I really enjoy these videos! Thanks for the info and the laughs!
Good - consequences have gone forgotten in 2024 lol I am really digging the possibility of all the checks that need cashing coming back with a vengeance :D
Fantastic. Love the tren twins for bringing the raw workout videos to generate hype but as a 34 year old, the RP critique really balances it out for my brain to download as a more mature content. Good stuff!
I had fairly slow eccentrics already, I slowed down even more studying to be a personal trainer, after watching your videos I'm dropping weight and making normally light weights feel well like... heavy weights lol. Strict form and proper engagement of muscles makes things very different thank you for the info
Nice man, but don't try force light weight to feel heavy. You need to be using weight that challenges you within the 6-12 rep range to create mechanical tension which is the main driver of muscle growth btw
12:30 Dr Mike, If we have a single pool for recovery and heal, isnt wrong to workout with muscle pain even if the pain is exact opposite what muscle group we working? Like PPL system we workout three times in a row. Yes we damage different parts but are our body able to heal that all once without a off day? Sometimes I avoid to train while my muscle groups are in pain even that my training program is aims different groups that day. Im watching your educational videos everyday and thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Im just obsessed with the “healing and growing” period more in my life. Maybe we need more recovery than we need?

That was DEFINITELY way too much volume for one workout. It works when you're younger, but as age goes up and injuries start to creep up on you, the amount of exercises will destroy you. I have a messed up pec/shoulder from a car accident a few years ago, which impacts how much chest work I can do. I would have to call it quits after about 2 exercises, and they did 10. Definitely better to break this workout up into 2 separate days.
depends on overall volume and intensity, you could do ten exercises (if felt the need for whatever reason) at one set each and that's only 10 sets. That and everyone is different. some people make better gains with more volume even whilst using a lot of intensity, others can get away with less
@@timarnett3548 gear would help alleviate the muscle fatigue for sure, but it does nothing for your joints, ligaments and tendons. Which is why alot of those guys who jump on gear get major injuries, their muscles outgrew the rest.
@@FiFiFilth I feel you bro. I was pushing hard, almost got to a 315 bench, now I can't even bench my bodyweight (185 lb) without EXTREME pain. Thankfully, Dumbbells and cables don't aggravate it TOO much, though there is still a limit.
100% Big chest is usually a decent indicator of "gym bro/gear head who thinks they can fight but can't" and the people who actually want to mess with you are usually insecure people who want to bully other to prove how tough they are. Don't get me wrong, being big overall will reduce chances because of sheer physics but its not the big chest thats doing it.
I'd like to see Dr. Mike plan out a training plan for a celebrity taking on a superhero role. Someone that wants to do most, if not all, of their own stunts too. Wolverine, Batman, etc.
Please for the love of god do a Sam Salek workout critique. It is an absolute shame the pontential he has and how much he squanders with his awful technique😔🤦🏻♂️
He does what works for him so I don’t really see a problem 🤷♂️ you don’t need to do every exercise with “perfect scientific musculature engagement” or whatever
@@callumdoolox6498I mean all said and done until he gets a serious injury from it. He should prob learn to do full ROM on his lifts instead of jerking the weight to failure
Dr. Mike, I have a question about the whole muscle density thing… there is a difference between hypertrophy and hyperplasia in the muscle, right? And there are some pretty clear as day cases of somebody with significantly smaller muscle volume being an order of magnitude stronger than somebody with HIGHER muscle volume. Even though I know that other things factor into that like motor unit recruitment etc.. But I thought that there was actually a pretty general consensus that there IS such a thing as muscle density… could you perhaps elaborate further on that? Or is that a thing where science hasn’t necessarily uncovered the inner workings of that, or? Anyways, I would appreciate a response. Am pretty interested in stuff like this. Thank you in advance.
There is variety in density between different people. He's saying that density wouldn't give the visual effect that they are saying they want from looking "dense." It would basically have the opposite effect, visually.
I love your info on the close grip, I would put my hands close but would feel it in my shoulder and it would pop and was so uncomfortable. I just thought that’s how you do them. But thank you for explaining
When it started with those no reps on smith I thought it was gonna go way different, but props to these guys for being helpful at best and pretty harmless at worst. Cool of Dr. Mike for not forcing attrition for clout, not that he would ever but we can't take it for granted haha
If we can make recommendations then I have to shoutout the natty kings: Geoffrey Verity Schofield, Alex Leonidas, Bald Omni Man and Natural Hypertrophy.
I follow both parties. This video was hilarious. I watch the Tren Twins, and think most people do, for motivation and their bro comedy. I doubt people watch for “scientific” explanations. Whether or not their methods are “correct” or not, and what they are taking, you have to admit their physiques are well built. Loved the video and was entertained from start to finish
You can tell they're geared when they can do 8-10 exercises even though the technique is somewhat lacking toward the end. You just recover so much faster and have more stamina to keep going longer when you're juiced (based on what people who are on gear say, I have no experience here)
Not really. They could be doing exactly the same natty. The diff between on gear and natty is the muscle growth and strength triggered by this session, and how they'll be able to perform (ie recover) on their next session. Also the pump they get from any session and how their nutrients are mostly utilized in building muscle instead of fat storage. Basically... the difference is nothing you'd notice from just watching one session with someone not showing perfect form or degrading form.
I have lifted weights for 8 years, I am now 24 years old, with 18" arms, at 225lbs bodyweight, lean with abs, shoulder striations, etc... so I'm guessing around 15% bodyfat. Most people irl ask if I'm natty, and yes, I am. I also do a sh*t ton of volume, 8-10 different exercises in a session, and I seem to grow from it just fine. Mind you, I'm in a huge calorie surplus. I love to experiment. The body doesn't understand sets / reps / numbers... What it does understand is hard work. Just the other day, I felt like hitting 10 sets x 20 reps on preacher curls, and no one can tell me I'm doing too much when I'm bigger than 99% of the population and even mog the majority of juicers in my gym, who have also questioned my natty status in the past. There's no such thing as a natty limit.
I've never done anything other than trt but I grew every week no matter what doing the same thing as before trt where I had weeks of plateau every year.
@@jakobdekim6458 That's where you're mistaken, brother. I listen to my body and know when enough is enough. I have my limits and I respect them. I only do that type of training from time to time and it doesn't affect my recovery. But you must seek adversity in order to grow. As long as ego doesn't get in the way, you're right.
@@n7Andy I agree. Although Ive never done steriods from my decades of training (16-45) In terms of volume and intensity it makes little difference of what ive seen whether juicing or natural, peoples recovery is different based on many factors. Something Ive always said and the late great John meadows even said much the same in a video. Most people hold themselves back or cheat themselves into thinking less volume and or intensity is 'smarter' then they just accuse any natural making significant gains of juicing because they are essentially taking it easy and not realising their full potential. Muscle whether natural or enhanced recovers pretty damn fast, it's the CNS you have to watch out for when training hard and trying to avoid overtraining and steroids have zero bearing on your cns. And even then relative to diet, sleep, lifestyle and many factors the amount of volume and intensity one person can put on their cns week to week will vary from one to the next
@@HeadCannonPrime haha it was a fair comment in context if these guys. He's not wrong, doing endless junk volume into your 30s and above is a horrible idea
Man, I am loving all you stuff. Guess I need to get the app. Can you throw some sarcastic comments in the app to get us pumped up! Keep up the good work

I have a messed up pec/shoulder from a car accident a few years ago, which impacts how much chest work I can do. I would have to call it quits after about 2 exercises, and they did 10. Definitely better to break this workout up into 2 separate days.
Not if your on gear lol
depends on overall volume and intensity, you could do ten exercises (if felt the need for whatever reason) at one set each and that's only 10 sets. That and everyone is different. some people make better gains with more volume even whilst using a lot of intensity, others can get away with less
Messed up my shoulders in my mid twenties. Now I have to train super carefully and it fucking sucks.
@@timarnett3548 gear would help alleviate the muscle fatigue for sure, but it does nothing for your joints, ligaments and tendons. Which is why alot of those guys who jump on gear get major injuries, their muscles outgrew the rest.
@@FiFiFilth I feel you bro. I was pushing hard, almost got to a 315 bench, now I can't even bench my bodyweight (185 lb) without EXTREME pain. Thankfully, Dumbbells and cables don't aggravate it TOO much, though there is still a limit.
First time coming to this channel. Glad to see Mike Israetel doing these reviews. Much needed due to the fodder that's online. Thank you Dr. Mike!
In terms of "nobody want to mess with you": traps, shoulders and arms >>>>> chest
100% Big chest is usually a decent indicator of "gym bro/gear head who thinks they can fight but can't" and the people who actually want to mess with you are usually insecure people who want to bully other to prove how tough they are. Don't get me wrong, being big overall will reduce chances because of sheer physics but its not the big chest thats doing it.
I mean ears is the absolute top of the list
For me it's forearms. Gym going or just some good old fashioned farmboy strength you don't fuck with the guy with Popeye forearms.
I'd like to see Dr. Mike plan out a training plan for a celebrity taking on a superhero role. Someone that wants to do most, if not all, of their own stunts too. Wolverine, Batman, etc.
Please for the love of god do a Sam Salek workout critique. It is an absolute shame the pontential he has and how much he squanders with his awful technique😔🤦🏻♂️
Also this ^^^^
He does what works for him so I don’t really see a problem 🤷♂️ you don’t need to do every exercise with “perfect scientific musculature engagement” or whatever
And dude looks so tired, unhealthy and....week before intensive care unit hospitalization
It also really doesn’t matter what the fuck he does, exercise or technique, he’s on so much shit he’ll grow regardless
@@callumdoolox6498I mean all said and done until he gets a serious injury from it. He should prob learn to do full ROM on his lifts instead of jerking the weight to failure
Mike, this is pure gold. Thank you!
Dr. Mike,
I have a question about the whole muscle density thing… there is a difference between hypertrophy and hyperplasia in the muscle, right? And there are some pretty clear as day cases of somebody with significantly smaller muscle volume being an order of magnitude stronger than somebody with HIGHER muscle volume. Even though I know that other things factor into that like motor unit recruitment etc.. But I thought that there was actually a pretty general consensus that there IS such a thing as muscle density… could you perhaps elaborate further on that? Or is that a thing where science hasn’t necessarily uncovered the inner workings of that, or? Anyways, I would appreciate a response. Am pretty interested in stuff like this.
Thank you in advance.
There is variety in density between different people. He's saying that density wouldn't give the visual effect that they are saying they want from looking "dense." It would basically have the opposite effect, visually.
I love your info on the close grip, I would put my hands close but would feel it in my shoulder and it would pop and was so uncomfortable. I just thought that’s how you do them. But thank you for explaining
I think I've lost a few brain cells listening to them. Thank God Dr. Mike got them back for me.
they lift for the soul not for optimal bodybuilding
@@zachk2060Then they need to spend some time in the Word, cause their souls don't look too great here.
@@zachk2060 Meaningless word salad. You should run for public office.
@@Mutiny960 are you illiterate? Which part confused you
Respect to dr.mike repping the Bronx not a lot of popular TH-camrs from here
When it started with those no reps on smith I thought it was gonna go way different, but props to these guys for being helpful at best and pretty harmless at worst. Cool of Dr. Mike for not forcing attrition for clout, not that he would ever but we can't take it for granted haha
"Forcing attrition for clout" is an awesome way to describe
The best advice I’ve learned from Dr Mike is how important controlling the negative
If we can make recommendations then I have to shoutout the natty kings: Geoffrey Verity Schofield, Alex Leonidas, Bald Omni Man and Natural Hypertrophy.
How could you forget Jason blaha the Texas monster himself?
The commentary is awesome. Especially the ones made under your breath.
9:17very demure
I love this guy. Happy to find you. Good content haha
I like what he said about missing 455. It's never your fault when you miss a weight. Wonder if he knows that Mikey hit 500 at 198 bodyweight though.
Good job explaining the eccentric movement! I also bro lift and move faster when I get tired. I appreciate the focus, nicely done!
I follow both parties. This video was hilarious. I watch the Tren Twins, and think most people do, for motivation and their bro comedy. I doubt people watch for “scientific” explanations. Whether or not their methods are “correct” or not, and what they are taking, you have to admit their physiques are well built. Loved the video and was entertained from start to finish
Is it comedy? From what I can tell, they are genuinely cretins, it's not an act.
I like the fact that he didnt use the fact that these guys use TREN to critic them; like 90% of TH-cam guys usually do
Watching this after Mikey’s pec tear😔
First time I’ve ever watched you. This stuff is great. I had to sub
This aged well
Why? What happened?
We don’t deserve this collab, we needed it ❤
You can tell they're geared when they can do 8-10 exercises even though the technique is somewhat lacking toward the end. You just recover so much faster and have more stamina to keep going longer when you're juiced (based on what people who are on gear say, I have no experience here)
Not really. They could be doing exactly the same natty.
The diff between on gear and natty is the muscle growth and strength triggered by this session, and how they'll be able to perform (ie recover) on their next session. Also the pump they get from any session and how their nutrients are mostly utilized in building muscle instead of fat storage.
Basically... the difference is nothing you'd notice from just watching one session with someone not showing perfect form or degrading form.
I have lifted weights for 8 years, I am now 24 years old, with 18" arms, at 225lbs bodyweight, lean with abs, shoulder striations, etc... so I'm guessing around 15% bodyfat. Most people irl ask if I'm natty, and yes, I am. I also do a sh*t ton of volume, 8-10 different exercises in a session, and I seem to grow from it just fine. Mind you, I'm in a huge calorie surplus. I love to experiment. The body doesn't understand sets / reps / numbers... What it does understand is hard work. Just the other day, I felt like hitting 10 sets x 20 reps on preacher curls, and no one can tell me I'm doing too much when I'm bigger than 99% of the population and even mog the majority of juicers in my gym, who have also questioned my natty status in the past. There's no such thing as a natty limit.
I've never done anything other than trt but I grew every week no matter what doing the same thing as before trt where I had weeks of plateau every year.
@@jakobdekim6458 That's where you're mistaken, brother. I listen to my body and know when enough is enough. I have my limits and I respect them. I only do that type of training from time to time and it doesn't affect my recovery. But you must seek adversity in order to grow. As long as ego doesn't get in the way, you're right.
@@n7Andy I agree. Although Ive never done steriods from my decades of training (16-45) In terms of volume and intensity it makes little difference of what ive seen whether juicing or natural, peoples recovery is different based on many factors. Something Ive always said and the late great John meadows even said much the same in a video.
Most people hold themselves back or cheat themselves into thinking less volume and or intensity is 'smarter' then they just accuse any natural making significant gains of juicing because they are essentially taking it easy and not realising their full potential.
Muscle whether natural or enhanced recovers pretty damn fast, it's the CNS you have to watch out for when training hard and trying to avoid overtraining and steroids have zero bearing on your cns. And even then relative to diet, sleep, lifestyle and many factors the amount of volume and intensity one person can put on their cns week to week will vary from one to the next
I don't know what triggered your video to pop up on my phone, but I'm really enjoying hearing you talk.
“When you get older, 25”
😢
me
😂 i must be dead already 😅
33, one foot in the grave basically
@@BrofUJu 46, I already died, and am just a zombie shuffling metal plates.
@@HeadCannonPrime haha it was a fair comment in context if these guys. He's not wrong, doing endless junk volume into your 30s and above is a horrible idea
Gotta watch their new videos
I genuinely had a 30 minute existential crisis over the in the head thing you said, thanks Mike!
came for the content, stayed for the insane camera quality and grading
Manic mike and dr mike need to do a work out vid
Man, I am loving all you stuff. Guess I need to get the app. Can you throw some sarcastic comments in the app to get us pumped up! Keep up the good work
Now the pec tear happened
So many gen z kids screaming at their monitor right now.
I see that wisdom pouring out of their eyes lol. Or I'm simply too old for this modern times "sophisticated" social media content 😂
Love your content mike! Keep it up!
