Man, I’ve found myself watching videos 2,3,4 times for the smallest tips to help. These things aren’t learned once and I appreciate that tips so much Mike!! Have a great week ahead brother!! 👊👊
Your pressing videos have helped huge Dumbell press today and the contraction was unreal Never felt it like that before I see what you mean by lifting/building now I was FARTing big time
@@bevnaeBest exercise that I found that helped me develop my rhomboids is an altered seal row. Instead of using a barbell I use dumbells, and and I row from my elbows with arms close body/bench, but the aim is to row the elbows as high as possible, sure the lats gets some thickening, but the aim is to hit the rhomboids and they get hit very well. You just have to make sure you use your grip as mere hooks and make sure you do not grap the dumbells so as to activate your forearms and brachioradialis and row from your back, not biceps, and make sure each repitition you row your elbows as high past your back as you can, so you get more bang for your buck for the rhomboids. Give it a go, they are amazing. I recommend you start of with a flat seal row bench or make something like that, but start of with a flat surface. In time try adding a 45 plate on the rear leg, and another time instead of the rear leg add the plate on the front legs, this way you can do slight adjustments on which part of the rhomboids (upper lower) you like, without getting your upper traps or other parts too involved. Don't go more than a plate of two in height difference. Best wishes.
"Meth Straight Away ruin your life " How does your videographer keep the camera still , I'd be laughing my ass off . Thanks for the great content Mike !
I literally just used the foot pads this morning on the row machine and couldn't figure out why I couldn't stay upright like in your videos....wish I watched this video a few hours ago. Thanks for the great content.
This is the only criticism I have of this video but you could have told us about not using the foot pegs on the row machine a long time ago. I’ve been doing it wrong for months. 😂. Thanks for the nuance Mike.
You should know what feels right though, without someone telling you. Dont copy people, do what feels right in the muscle u r trying to hit! Experiment with movements and how u sit on every machine. Find the position that u get the most tension in the muscle u want to hit. Maybe that comes with time? But have fun, learn your body and what each muscle feels like specifically
Coach Mike - any cue to get me to not lock down & tense my shoulders when trying to brace for bicep movements? Idk when/why/how I developed this habit, but I can’t figure out how to break it.
Man that makes so much sense about the foot pads on the row machine. It always seems stupid to have them there because I couldn’t leverage with my chest when my feet are so far forward
I’m new to weightlifting and have no real mentors but can you do a video on bench pressing and the different variation like incline? Would be cool and helpful
If you are beautiful and have good genetics, you can get people to follow you, because they want to be like you. Just now a "little" bit more than someone that follows you , and be blessed, you will have followers
“Those are the reps that count the most” “WE DID IT TOGETHER MAN” My exact thoughts, people are so stupid. This is why I prefer to workout alone. Not glazing Mike or anything but I love his style of training. My chest has never felt bigger ngl.
I've definitely came to that same conclusion here recently about people who constantly post on Instagram thinking they're "helping people" with their exercise and nutrition advice, literally just doing it to feel important. It's especially hilarious when it comes after their modeling or fashion doesn't take off. Like yeah posting your basic exercises with pretty shit form, that will definitely get you noticed.. Same for the "I'm thinking about competing" dudes too that constantly post pics and videos of them posing with extremely average genetics 😂
It is so sad to see people at the gym doing such horrible movements, especially with all the information available today. I am pretty much in a zone when im at the gym that i don't even hear the music. But it is so hard no to watch these people doing crazy stuff
Step in and take 2 minutes rest and ask if you can lend some advice. We are all there to better ourselves and alot of people get overwhelmed with all the different contradictory articles and videos and I'm not trying to be a dick please don't think that
@@aaronallstun2989 I would love to believe me, it pains me to watch. However, I have done that in the past and more often than not they act as though I'm bothering them. Maybe it's the age difference (I am 48). If they ask me, I gladly give some pointers, but I don't approach anyone anymore. I remember when I was younger, you looked at the older guys in the gym for pointers or just tried to emulate what they did. Those days are over.
You keep talking abt tension and how everyone’s back movement is sh*t but I already know that. Can we talk abt how to train calves and use tension the right way on those instead. I struggle with my sh*t tension but I want old white man calves
It's ironic that your intro jokes about being the "shortcut channel" when in reality this channel is a shortcut to gains simply due to bypassing all the bullshit most other channels promote.
the filming is for their ego. we all know that and they know too. i would say its time to ban cameras and cellphones but this is a dangerous road that can lead to censorship.
"The reps you don't do, are the ones that matter the most".........man alive, that's it all wrapped neatly for everyone to hear! Thanks Mike!!!!!! 💪
That should be on a shirt.

“Spend the time on set ups”. There’s the gold right there. 👍
That feeder set shit drives me nuts too
Your pressing videos have helped huge
Dumbell press today and the contraction was unreal
Never felt it like that before
I see what you mean by lifting/building now
I was FARTing big time
Disney Ride. Fuckn hilarious 😂
Motion vs Tension well said
I’m not just here for the tips,comedic gold😂😂😂😂🇯🇲
Its cool to see that your shoulder isn't so annoying anymore
Cool. My chest growth exploded into another dimension and back again after implementation of your advice.
Simple but the truth as always
The more I developed my rhomboids and rhomboid control the more I enjoyed mind muscle connection when pressing.
Nice man. What exercises did you feel helped with this rhomboid development/connection.

@@KenanTurkiye amazing man, thank you.
@@bevnae Cool. Thank you and take care.
Awesome
Love you Big Mike , you always make my day 😂
Smart people use their heads.
"Meth Straight Away ruin your life " How does your videographer keep the camera still , I'd be laughing my ass off .
Thanks for the great content Mike !
Pure gold information. Thank you 👍
Thank you for the cues you give to help achieve the correct position.
I literally just used the foot pads this morning on the row machine and couldn't figure out why I couldn't stay upright like in your videos....wish I watched this video a few hours ago. Thanks for the great content.
Love this guy hes a beast look him up from years ago he was a real beast look at old pictures

You should know what feels right though, without someone telling you. Dont copy people, do what feels right in the muscle u r trying to hit! Experiment with movements and how u sit on every machine. Find the position that u get the most tension in the muscle u want to hit. Maybe that comes with time? But have fun, learn your body and what each muscle feels like specifically
He talks a lot about putting your weight on the pad which automatically puts your feet on the ground
Quality channel
Awesome Mike can’t wait to see what your both look like 😂
Saucony, eh? Love it.
Thanks coach
Can you do a series of videos on ‘setups’
I WISH I had tyrannosaurus traps, I only have the arms of a tyrannosaurus
😂😂😂
Thanks
Whole entire video had me laughing my ass off man… i swear I say all the shit when I’m talking shit it’s so funny hahaha 😂😂😂 my man haha
A Disney ride 😂😂😂
ight guysss

Man that makes so much sense about the foot pads on the row machine. It always seems stupid to have them there because I couldn’t leverage with my chest when my feet are so far forward
Yup, I always did the one foot forward thing. One arm at a time. It just felt right, nice to hear I was doing it “right”
What Saucony's are those ?
Disney Ride😂😂😂
I’m new to weightlifting and have no real mentors but can you do a video on bench pressing and the different variation like incline? Would be cool and helpful
He has one that kind of addresses it but generally, he doesn’t touch the bench press or it’s variations
I HAVE INSTANTLY USED MIKES BODY SET UPS FOR CHEST PRESSES AND GOT INTANT PUMP IN SPOTS OF NEVER HAVE BEFORE. NO TREN EITHER. LOL
Okay being from Indiana which is meth country 😂 his analogy was amazing hahaha
Noted
Lol, I use fuckin as a sentence enhancer as well. Thanks for the tips.✌️the fuckin tips.
FUCKIN LEGEND. EVERY SINGLE VIDEO IM CRACKING UP. MIKE IS VERY EFFECTIVE AND FUN Y AS FUCK❤AUSTRALIA
Slide in… I understood that one 7:55
Has anybody else been trying all the key pointers on the db chest press but still having trouble feeling it in their chest??
Are you trying to keep your chest up and real big throughout? That helps me
Try fly press to teach you to squeeze the chest
Also hold at bottom for a second feel the stretch
Slow on the way down touch your outer shoulders with dbs and pause then push and squeeze the chest in
13:00 😂
When is mikes conspiracy theory of what is. going to happen
Look at those 25 inch pythons!
