In a 7 day week we have a 5 day training split of 3+2 days with a 4 day eating split of 17 out of 20 meals being good and 3 meals for living. Write that down!
I am a woman and agree that a character like Wonder Woman should have more muscle. Also not be running in 6 inch heels as if Gal needed them to look like she had long legs! As a woman I was really dissappointed to have her character heralded as a wonderful portrayal of a strong woman given what real female athletes actually look like!
I would have picked Katlen Touhouy for Wonder Woman and used Hollywood magic to make her taller. She’s crazy muscular for a long distance runner. Katelyn Tuohy
Ma Gal Gadot sa recitare, è molto espressiva. Dove la trovi una reale atleta capace di recitare almeno discretamente? Tutte le alternative "muscolari" a Gal Gadot che ho visto erano ridicole.
Yeah, saying high blood sugar has no effect since the body works its hardest to bring it down quickly is a bit loony. We can measure this: for the same glycation level, a more even blood sugar results in fewer new blood cells, ie. stable blood sugar results in less glycation damage and longer lived blood cells. IIRC there is also evidence that high blood sugar spikes negatively affect the walls of the arteries too, but I cannot remember the specifics
I just discovered your channel and am equal parts impressed with your insane level of knowledge and entertained by your (slightly inappropriate) sense of humor which is a fun combo. Looking forward to consuming all the content.
@@ibrahimtastekin275I can't blame them when you look at these acclaimed trainers and they tell you to do the most absurd and alien movements possible.
tbh being in shape is mainly about diet. even if your fucking around in the gym if your workout isnt completely trash and your diet is excellent your probably gonna look decent, and they seem to be better on nutrition than training
Love the "nordic accent" you do! Magnus is swedish, and as a swede myself you sound sooooo finnish 😅 I get that it sounds different to you, but it cracks me up. Thanks for the laugh! 💕
Nah, you're not going to feminist hell for saying they should have put more muscle on Godot. My mom, born the same year Wonder Woman was created, always wanted to BE Wonder Woman as a little girl (also met my father in a weight lifting studio way back in the 50s) exclaimed upon first seeing Godot when we went to see the first movie together, "But...she's so...skinny?!"😂 (Won my mom over by the end. It was a fun movie for mom-daughter bonding.)
It’s so funny because she lost me by watching the film. I went into it thinking she was gorgeous and if she got in shape she would be a fantastic Wonder Woman. Then she ends up not getting into shape, and her acting was wooden (completely lacking any emotion), and at the level I would expect of the best actress at your high school. I completely lost interest in the WW films after seeing her in the first one.
First, I’m a woman, also, and I agree! I was expecting Wonder Woman to be jacked and was excited about that idea! She’s gorgeous of course, but I wanted someone who looked like a superhero.
I agree with the Wonder Woman comment. She’s beautiful, looks great for someone who goes to the gym everyday for Zumba and maintains her weight with lean cuisine’s but Wonder Woman Should have a bit more muscle density and shape.
Thank you doc for all the free information you put in the internet. Have been training my little 15 year old brother and your videos helped me a lot in explaining and planing his hypertrophy workout !
I love that you made this review. When I saw Wonder Woman, it bothered me so much that Gal Gadot didn't look absolutely jacked. Someone told me- "Well, Wonder Woman doesn't have to look strong, she's a super hero, she can just naturally do that stuff". And my response was maybe a bit extreme but it pissed me off.... Let's name all of the male super heroes that look jacked AF: HULK, Superman, Batman, Thor, Aquaman, Black Panther, Captain America, Wolverine, Vision....I can keep going!! The only female superheroes I ever see looking strong AF are the Dora Milaje. Wakanda!! But really, it would be awesome to see more female superheroes who actually look the part - not just thin with tight pants.
I mean yeah, man superheroes are jacked, yet they all too lean also. If you want optimal general hero-style physical performance, i guess it's be better to have 15-20% bodyfat and not to have 6-pack abs. Again, it's just Hollywood and they trying to put beautiful attractive people to fulfill the masses and not made an realistic apperience.
It's a lot harder for women to get "jacked" then it is for guys. They have a fraction of the anabolic hormones in their bodies naturally as compared to men. And the side effects of gear for them are more extreme and risky since its even further away from being natural to their bodies--excessive body and/or facial hair, enlarged clit, various health and mood issue potentials, sky rocketing sex drive, etc. (Note, not all gear will have those effects though). This is real life, not a comic. Because of these innate issues of biology, I'm a little more tolerant of female actresses playing super heroes not being jacked. But there are some women out there that are jacked (don't know how many are completely natural). I think Gina Carano would have been a good person to play Wonder Woman. She's attractive, dark haired, tallish, and definitely more muscular and physically trained in combative sports than Gal Gadot.
Mike's comment about the "cheat" meals is so spot on. I've been a bodybuilder for over a decade and as I got older my capacity to lose weight while having cheat meals drastically went down in my 30s. In my 20s I could eat pretty perfectly Sun-Fri, and then "anything" I wanted on Saturday and still see weight loss. In my 30s anything more than a few slices of pizza/more than a few drinks is enough to basically reverse any progress from the week. While I get what the trainer is saying, for most people, if you want to lose weight it's more like 90/10. (90% of your meals should be flawless, 10% you can indulge a TINY bit.) The problem is it's a really slippery slope. A really bad cheat day (or even a really indulgent cheat meal/too much alcohol) can literally reverse 6 days of perfect dieting. What works for me is if I'm genuinely trying to hit a weight loss goal, I have one cheat meal, that's it. And usually it's still pretty clean. (like I might have a few slices of pizza or something but ensure my calorie intake is much lower on that day) It's honestly much easier to just always eat clean until you reach your goals. It takes more discipline to manage eating poorly every once and awhile than just being aware all the time. It's SO easy to over indulge and have your week go from 2 steps forwards to 1-1.5 steps back.
I mean yea, it's even more simple to just always eat healthy regardless but I think people just like food that isn't healthy? Like Bread or maybe like some ice-cream.
What kind of defecit are we talking on the diet per day? And how big is your cheat meal? Because if you're on a 500 cal/day defecit you'll have to eat a 3000 cal cheat meal to offeset it.
Cheat meals are the only thing that keep me consistent. With that being said I still don’t go absolutely nuts with my cheat meals, i portion control like crazy . Different strokes
Iv been lifting at a high level for 17 years. bodybuilding at the pro level is a horrible idea. The drugs involved etc. eating clean like you mentioned all the time is not optimal. Period. You can not eat and lose weight to doesn’t mean it’s heathy. Plus health shouldn’t ever come out of pros mouth when they are on the needle 💉. It’s a complete contradiction
i love that mikes' shirt says "partial reps don't count" but he also has a video about how partial reps done correctly can be more effective for muscle growth than full reps
I'm a skinny woman, so I know it's hard to put on muscle naturally, but I'm also not being payed millions to look the part, and looking at these exercises, now we know why Gal doesn't look a bit more like WW in the comics. Her arms should look like Linda Hamilton's arms in Terminator 2, that's actually my personal goal.
no her arms shouldn't look that way, Wonder women is a literal demi god with supernatural strength, why would someone whose strength is by definition not natural look like a body builder?
@@houseofactionCounterpoint: Superman, as well as every male hero/villain with superstrength. WW, at least, can be argued should be divinely perfect including her muscles.
@@houseofactionlegit one of the dumbest things i've heard. the others already gave great counterpoints to your argument (superman etc), so im just gonna add, she doesnt have to look like a fucking bodybuilder. but she literally looks like she doesnt lift weights. she looks dyel. absolutely pathetic for a superhero role
@@houseofaction To build on what @institches2750 already pointed out, Wonder Woman is a being based out of Greco-Roman classical mythology--Greek more than Roman, and the Greeks were obsessed with the athletic physiques and aesthetics, something that's enormously evident when studying Greco-Roman art, and in the first Wonder Woman movie many of the women who were playing the various Amazons definitely fulfilled how the Greco-Romans portrayed their war and warrior gods and goddesses--far more than Gal Gadot herself. She was definitely "fit" by Hollywood standards but not by what would fit the bill for an athlete--again the women playing the various Amazons (because they were actual athletes and strength trainers) looked the part far more.
I love your videos and critiques on people feeding the world BS. I grew up with bodybuilders as family members, college physical training, and science education. You are so spot on and wish more people would follow. Thank you for keeping us and me safe and healthy.
9:00 Dr. Mike, I luv yuh, but Organic is *not* a "scam" . . . The confusion going on here is caused by folks (PhDs included) mistaking who/what Organic practices are meant to benefit. An Organic tomato from a local farmer's market vs a GMO tomato from the grocery store confers *zero* nutritional difference. You can go out & buy a GMO tomato seed, grow it Organically in your back yard, & yield identical nutritional results. -that is hard truth. Instead, Organic typically confers (is aimed to confer) a *world* of difference in the way the land, the growing plants, the adjacent wildlife - the ecosystem - are treated. This crucial detail is even *more* pronounced when it comes to Organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised beef, chicken, turkey, etc.; there is a *world* of difference between how those cattle are treated vs. how factory farmed beef are treated (mistreated & *misfed, quite horrifically), & in the case of meats the nutritional advantages to grass-fed & pasture-raised are very real. TLDR : Organic produce moderately increases the odds that the grower actually cares for the land, the lifeform, the ecosystem, & the end-result (the quality of the food product), & Organic meat *significantly* increases those same odds. Buying Organic is an *ethical* position, *not* a nutritional one, insofar as it is well-informed.
Problem is organic didn't mean no pesticides, it means non-synthetic sure to lax regulation. Non-synthetic is often worse for the environment because it's better spectrum and kills everything, instead of being targeting to specific pests.
While I agree with the sentiment, the issue is that people infer that you go organic for a nutritional benefit, rather than an ethical one. I suppose an argument could be made that the average food "quality" of organic food is better, but that isn't always the case and you're paying insanely high prices for that additional quality. If you feel the extra perceived quality is worth it, and you can actually afford it, then great. However, it's nutritionally identical to the non-organic equivalent. Organic food is not some magic bullet that is going to make you infinitely healthier.
Magnus has done the research, 9 out of 10 is too strict for most to follow and 8 of 10 is way too lenient so you end up fat. All hail the magical 17 out of 20 💪
Dr. Mike I sometimes make the mistake of watching your critiques while working out....the finishing on my knees crack killed me....I had to restart my set lmao love your vids! Absolute legend!
I had the exact same thought on Wonder Woman's physique. When I think of 'Wonder Woman', I think of a beefed up (yet lean) Amazonian goddess. Gal is just kind of like normal-slim? Maybe toned is the right word? But either way, not what I envision when I think of a warrior princess. But hey, that's just me. She's a fine wonderwoman, but I just wish she looked the part a little bit more.
Personally, I really do find more attraction in slim, toned, women more than any ripped or super skinny chicks, I'm talking as to where I can see bones, I don't like either of those extremes. I do like a woman who is fit, and in shape, and who can do kinda the same stuff as my athletically.
Totally agree. Gal hardly looks like an Amazon goddess. She looks like she was going to break in half. Way too fragile and delicate and skinny. Not super hero material.
@@zaynes5094 sure but a female superhero role should maybe be based more on contextual correctness and not attractiveness to straight dudes I feel like
You are not wrong obviously, Amazonian warriors train like a mf day in and day out, at least get me some solid shoulder mass and i'm sold. "But that wouldn't sell so much" - some old deluded mf in Warner Bros probably.
@@mydavegabicycle that makes sense - stunt people would train for actual performance, strength, athleticism, not muscles. Only the stars should be training looks via bodybuilding. The training for the two are fundamentally different and nothing Dr. Mike talked about in this video would apply to stunt training.
I’ve learned so much watching your videos. Picked up a couple bad lifting habits from HS coaches that just stuck with me, but your videos helped improve and correct🔥
I've learned the hard way not to take a sip of my drink while watching these videos, there is a very good chance I will spit it out with laughter. Thank you for the good advice and laughs.
I screen clients where i have them go through different motions so i can see where they are strong or weak. What type of injuries do they have or had, and i look for muscle imbalances. This also helps me determine if i can train them or if they require someone with better knowledge like a physical therapist. I mostly train older people so theres a lot more things to consider. When im training someone younger with no major injuries its a lot easier and the programs look similar. But for those types of clients (young and healthy) i try to only train with them hands on for as little as possible. Once they learn proper technique i tell them they should be able to carry on by them selves and to reach out whenever they have questions. As a trainer i like training people who require more thought. I dont want to be a babysitter or motivator for someone i want clients that i can really turn their life around Hopefully one day ill be a physical therapist Love your videos and i wish i was at the level of knowledge that you are. Hopefully one day.
Mike I hope Hollywood ever gives you the chance to transform one A-list celebrity, and watch the world be wow'd with the real results you'll get for them with proper coaching. We're rooting for you! Thanks for being a bastion of good information sir.
Don't know how it is in the USA but here in Europe Dietitian is a protected term and nutritionist is something everybody is free to call themselves. So when you hear "I'm a nutritionist" it basically means (s)he flunked school and is googling stuff you ask.
Dieticians are definitely licensed in most places in the US, but every one I've ever worked with on a patient's care plan has been about 40 years behind the curve and are giving diabetics, in particular, terrible, terrible dietary advice.
Those Magnus Norwegian impressions were hilarious. A jacked wonder women would of been great. Would be fun to actually see some muscly women in movies that look like they are strong.
My wife is at a pre/menopause stage of life and is about 2 or 3 months into a workout routine. I tried showing her your channel to mine for inspiration and help, and her response was that a man doesnt know anything about her age group and needs. Can you point me to content to help her?
As a female, I'd rather work with you Mike. I want REAL workouts. I LOVE this video! Keep busting those myths. And may I add, most bikini competitors look more like Wonder Woman than Gal Gadot who is beautiful but not particularly tough looking.😊
"Wonder woman is suppose to be jacked" thank you Dr Mike, someone FINALLY said it. Gal Gadot did a fine job but I wish they did the same as they do with the guys. Get them to really bring up their physiques.
To be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was the best that they could do for Gal. She is a naturally very skinny woman, if you’ve seen her early modeling appearances or her role in Fast 5. Some people are just not genetically suited to gaining much muscle so she was never going to match the character’s look from the comics and it was probably a challenge to even get Gal to her onscreen Wonder Woman physique,
Why? It's about what's perceived as beautiful for the sex in question, not about being jacked. It's about getting max value individuals, attractive to the audience. So in that sense, they DID DO the same as they did with the guys - got an actor that's close to the ideal for their sex (and species 😄). Why apply male standards of beauty to females, egalitarian?
Zena was the only female television character who actually looked like she could kick butt... not sure why they think we want to see a frail chickadee fictitiously whip everything in her path.
Nobody with actual knowledge and anything resembling a conscience should be wasting their time even listening to Joe Rogan. Nevermind being on his shitty podcast.
As someone who is 5 foot 6, and at 128 pounds, and having been training at home and at the gym for competitive Arm Wrestling, I am very curious to see a video of you possibly reacting to how arm wrestlers train. Just to see if there is by any chance a different, better, or safer way to execute certain exercises.
Really armwrestling training in and of itself is not inherently dangerous, you just have to be careful about overloading, particularly when it comes to heavy partials and when training the hand. I made the mistake of going way to heavy on wrist curls at first as I was already pretty strong and ended up fucking up my wrist for a few months
Man, that's 22 minutes pure comedy gold right there :D I laughed so hard every time they put the viking hat with the blond pigtails on Mike's head, got me every time
For those of you who were disappointed that WW looked thin and terribly muscle-starved type, my observation is that nobody really appreciates bulging muscles on females outside of the bodybuilding/fitness enthusiast community. If you compare the types of female athletes on Bikini Competitions vs female models in bikini catalogs, they are worlds apart. The commercial bikini type is for the thin, toned, non-muscular type because that is generally what is socially desirable. Just an observation, not a personal opinion. Also whenever I show female bikini athletes to non-athletes, 99% of the time these people have an adverse reaction on how terrible these athletes look in relationship to desired attractiveness.
Sure, but the main point of super heroes' muscles isn't to be sexy in the first place. Thanos isn't a disgustingly jacked, lean slab of meat for sex appeal after all. It's to show that he's strong. Sex appeal is good for sales, but I'd bet most people want strong-looking heroes.
To everyone who’s mocking the “4 day cycle” the reason a lot of us do that in entertainment/ modeling & even corporate training is for 2 reasons: (1) psychologically it’s much easier because if you’re doing only 1 cheat day (5 meals) per week (7 days), the client often can’t make it thru the other 6 days. There are many reasons for this but suffice to say, psychologists agree that 3-4 days is about the max most people’s food-related willpower can work over long periods. (2) food prep is often done in 4 day cycles. With a cold setting on your fridge most meats & veg you prepare will last that long, but that’s the outer limit. You’re going to have to prep again if you’re eating a lot of fresh/ unprocessed food
The mountain climber reminded me of yoga move, from downward dog with a leg raised, bringing that leg to the opposite elbow. My initial thought was the kick (as long as not done fast/hard) adds strength and flexibility to the hip. Also kind of reminded me of a side plank with a leg raised as the load has to shift more to one arm to maintain balance and the hip carries that extra load. I think I'll try this in a tabata on my next hiit workout, alternating normal mountain climbers with this just for (lol) kicks.
"I'm not just a mean person", then immediately saying Magnus would be great as the actor for the next Wonder Woman. Every single video, SO many laughs. Favourite fitness channel now, by a mile.
Your end comment about Gal Gadot got me. I actually have come to love her in the role, although WW84 was nightmare awful in a way only the 80's could have loved, but in reality, Wonder Woman should be more like Gina Carano. SHE is built to be WW in the same way that Henry Cavil perfectly, at least physically, represents Superman.
As A Norwegian I am now more in love with you since you made fun of swedish people extra points for you lol. IF I ate only a fist of everything I would starve though , unless I am misunderstanding what he is trying to say
16:40 agreed. i rotate my spine all the time when working out. I have a few somewhat sketch work outs that i do when im strapped for time that are basically just swinging dumbbells back and forth in different motions. If anything my back feels great after the audible pops happen lol
Mike trying to do a Swedish impression sounds more Icelandic. It almost sounds like Björk (the artist) at times! Especially the words with "R" in them. Our English accent is not like that here in Sweden. (Says I, another Magnus from the same country). But it was funny!
I used to wonder why I didn't make it as personal trainer in Hollywood. Now I understand. You can't just learn from Mike, the viking and expect to be called by Hollywood. They don't want overqualified staff.
On a binge watch - have to chime in on this one. They ARE training a marathon and have to be stupidly fit and healthy for a film shoot. You're looking at 16+ hour days with on site food and no down time for months at a time. We only see them do 1 move on screen, but in reality that could have been 30+ takes. So they don't just walk on set and do it, they have to do it over and over and over and over again. They can't just roll up fit enough to do one performance like someone in regular sports might. It's the difference between boxing in a match and boxing 10 matches back to back
Recently started watching your videos and am enjoying them so far. When you mentioned the diet it made me wonder what your recommended diet is for someone looking to lose some fat while gaining muscle. Generally I try to eat cleanly, mostly whole foods, higher protein when incorporating strength training. My coach had suggested a diet predominantly of meats, rice (limiting brown rice and preferring white rice), fruit, and leafy greens. Honestly, I haven't tried it fully yet, but have considered it as a diet to help reduce inflammation (I tend to get that from training jiu-jitsu 6-7 days/week)
It's or maintaining weight or increasing to gain muscle. Or you first lose weight and then when you are done start gaining muscle. Only starters in the first year can decrease weight and gain muscle. I have spend way to much time trying to lose weight and gaining muscle at the same times. It's not how the body works. If the body thinks you are starving it's not going to start building muscle
Just increase your protein intake. Track your protein intake and calories overall. Train hard with weightlifting and progressively overload. You'll see results for sure.
As a woman who looks up to and is working to be a strong looking woman the physique for Wonder Woman really disappointed me, there are so many women who work out and look ripped out there who would have fit the role perfectly.
Yeah, I felt like she looked too scrawny for the role. I’m not exaggerating when I say my arms look more jacked than Gal’s and I only just started my fitness journey because I have a few years of hard labor from jobs under my belt. So I lost weight and my arms were already looking quite good 😭😂🙌🏽💪🏽
hes right, wonder woman is one of the few female hero's/villans there are not supposed to look like supergirl or catwoman, she is supposed to look like a beast. beautiful yet built and jacked, like someone from conan the barbarian
Most of what Dr Israetel says is right but in terms of food, sorry mate not always. In a recent video about sweeteners, you suggested that Stevia is not any better/safer than Aspartame. Unfortunately the WHO declared that it is maybe carcinogenic (group 2B). So for fact, healthier than Aspartame (until proven the contrary). Also organic food is not a scam, not perfect, but at least it is regulated for more ethical and responsible products. Yeah I'm one of those who values staying "naty". Sure not all natural things are healthy but in the long term i'd rather trust nature than biproducts built to save money for the business in a commercial context. By the way, steroids are probably carcinogenic.
Biggest takeaway I'm getting from the celeb vids is this: Most of these trainers know what they're doing, but their clients are potentially insisting on the superfluous dynamism et al. They're probably bored, and assume that the more complex a move seems, the better it is for them overall.
The Viking edits killed me everytime lmao You forgot to detract for the silly standing row but nobody cares about the scores, just like Whose Line Is It Anyway? Editing was on point today too
As a woman, you will never go to 'feminist hell' for saying a woman needs more muscle. We need less men telling women to 'be carefull lifting, you may get bulky'
I gotta' say, I did magnus' ab workout routine, in which those leg click mountain climbers are part of it. It actually did work after a couple of months of consistently doing this routine and I did see results. My core wasn't very strong to begin with so perhaps these were beginner gains in that area.
Chris Bumstead said on Chris William’s ‘modern wisdom’ podcast that training lower abs (which he said can be done with leg raises) can help to pull your gut in and make your belly flatter, I’d be really interested to hear your take on this claim
The degree of control you have over the transverse abdominus will assist with making your lower stomach appear flatter when flexed, as well as being able to vacuum. Lower ab movements tend to favor this muscle a bit more than the rectus abdominus. There's nothing magic about it, it's just targeted training like anything else.
You might be able to make your abdominal muscles a little "tighter" and tense but unfortunately that can never change your gut. All the visible fat deposits sit above the muscle.
@@iz2333 I didn't say anything about becoming smaller. I said it can appear flatter by having better control while flexing. The transverse abdominus isn't a round muscle - it's a band. It will increase in size with training, but it will also get tighter naturally and be able to become even tighter with flexing. The posing in bodybuilding is just as much about the illusion of proportions as it is about biology.
Hi, Dr. Mike. Long time watcher, first-time commentator. I'm curious, how is it that celebrities manage to achieve decent results with ineffective workouts? Is it just proof that even a sub-optimal routine will give you results if you stick with it consistently? Or do you think the trainers/celebrities are lying about what the routine is to give the impression that it's utilitarian focused instead of physique-centric? Or do you think they are doing sub-optimal routines, but they use special supplements that make it easier to gain results?

My mom, born the same year Wonder Woman was created, always wanted to BE Wonder Woman as a little girl (also met my father in a weight lifting studio way back in the 50s) exclaimed upon first seeing Godot when we went to see the first movie together, "But...she's so...skinny?!"😂
(Won my mom over by the end. It was a fun movie for mom-daughter bonding.)
It’s so funny because she lost me by watching the film.
I went into it thinking she was gorgeous and if she got in shape she would be a fantastic Wonder Woman. Then she ends up not getting into shape, and her acting was wooden (completely lacking any emotion), and at the level I would expect of the best actress at your high school.
I completely lost interest in the WW films after seeing her in the first one.
W mom
How did your Mom grow up as a WW fan yet not know that she was always skinny? This story just sounds made up.
@@waleedabbas4996 huh? Wonder woman was jacked, not skinny.
Except it's wrong
First, I’m a woman, also, and I agree! I was expecting Wonder Woman to be jacked and was excited about that idea! She’s gorgeous of course, but I wanted someone who looked like a superhero.
100% agree
dude I'm way more jacked than she is and I'm only 115 right now lol but I got 11 in biceps
I think she would look gorgeous jacked.
Now we know why she's not jacked
same.
I agree with the Wonder Woman comment. She’s beautiful, looks great for someone who goes to the gym everyday for Zumba and maintains her weight with lean cuisine’s but Wonder Woman Should have a bit more muscle density and shape.
She's basically a god so doesn't really need muscle.
@@Pochi1She’s 39 dude, a good 39 admittedly but she’s creaking…..
@@Caneandunable ? I wasn't talking about Gal I was talking about Wonder Woman.
@@Pochi1 In that case she certainly needs muscle 💪 and why she was trying to build it up 6 months before shooting began.

I love that you made this review. When I saw Wonder Woman, it bothered me so much that Gal Gadot didn't look absolutely jacked. Someone told me- "Well, Wonder Woman doesn't have to look strong, she's a super hero, she can just naturally do that stuff". And my response was maybe a bit extreme but it pissed me off.... Let's name all of the male super heroes that look jacked AF: HULK, Superman, Batman, Thor, Aquaman, Black Panther, Captain America, Wolverine, Vision....I can keep going!! The only female superheroes I ever see looking strong AF are the Dora Milaje. Wakanda!! But really, it would be awesome to see more female superheroes who actually look the part - not just thin with tight pants.
people saying she doesn't NEED to look super jacked are also completely ignoring that she is, in fact, super jacked in the comics
I mean yeah, man superheroes are jacked, yet they all too lean also. If you want optimal general hero-style physical performance, i guess it's be better to have 15-20% bodyfat and not to have 6-pack abs. Again, it's just Hollywood and they trying to put beautiful attractive people to fulfill the masses and not made an realistic apperience.
I pointed that out through out the whole promotional activities and the second film. But was shut down by people who thought I am jealous.
Me too! I thought the exact same thing. She's pretty... and tall... and... ... ... ... ...
It's a lot harder for women to get "jacked" then it is for guys. They have a fraction of the anabolic hormones in their bodies naturally as compared to men. And the side effects of gear for them are more extreme and risky since its even further away from being natural to their bodies--excessive body and/or facial hair, enlarged clit, various health and mood issue potentials, sky rocketing sex drive, etc. (Note, not all gear will have those effects though).
This is real life, not a comic. Because of these innate issues of biology, I'm a little more tolerant of female actresses playing super heroes not being jacked. But there are some women out there that are jacked (don't know how many are completely natural). I think Gina Carano would have been a good person to play Wonder Woman. She's attractive, dark haired, tallish, and definitely more muscular and physically trained in combative sports than Gal Gadot.
Mike's comment about the "cheat" meals is so spot on.
I've been a bodybuilder for over a decade and as I got older my capacity to lose weight while having cheat meals drastically went down in my 30s.
In my 20s I could eat pretty perfectly Sun-Fri, and then "anything" I wanted on Saturday and still see weight loss.
In my 30s anything more than a few slices of pizza/more than a few drinks is enough to basically reverse any progress from the week.
While I get what the trainer is saying, for most people, if you want to lose weight it's more like 90/10. (90% of your meals should be flawless, 10% you can indulge a TINY bit.)
The problem is it's a really slippery slope. A really bad cheat day (or even a really indulgent cheat meal/too much alcohol) can literally reverse 6 days of perfect dieting.
What works for me is if I'm genuinely trying to hit a weight loss goal, I have one cheat meal, that's it. And usually it's still pretty clean. (like I might have a few slices of pizza or something but ensure my calorie intake is much lower on that day)
It's honestly much easier to just always eat clean until you reach your goals. It takes more discipline to manage eating poorly every once and awhile than just being aware all the time. It's SO easy to over indulge and have your week go from 2 steps forwards to 1-1.5 steps back.
I mean yea, it's even more simple to just always eat healthy regardless but I think people just like food that isn't healthy? Like Bread or maybe like some ice-cream.
What kind of defecit are we talking on the diet per day? And how big is your cheat meal? Because if you're on a 500 cal/day defecit you'll have to eat a 3000 cal cheat meal to offeset it.
compaing BREAD with ice cream is crazy omfg @@kiraphobia222
Cheat meals are the only thing that keep me consistent. With that being said I still don’t go absolutely nuts with my cheat meals, i portion control like crazy . Different strokes
Iv been lifting at a high level for 17 years. bodybuilding at the pro level is a horrible idea. The drugs involved etc. eating clean like you mentioned all the time is not optimal. Period. You can not eat and lose weight to doesn’t mean it’s heathy. Plus health shouldn’t ever come out of pros mouth when they are on the needle 💉. It’s a complete contradiction
i love that mikes' shirt says "partial reps don't count" but he also has a video about how partial reps done correctly can be more effective for muscle growth than full reps
I was thinking the same thing lol
Hahaha, my thought exactly 😂
I'm a skinny woman, so I know it's hard to put on muscle naturally, but I'm also not being payed millions to look the part, and looking at these exercises, now we know why Gal doesn't look a bit more like WW in the comics. Her arms should look like Linda Hamilton's arms in Terminator 2, that's actually my personal goal.
no her arms shouldn't look that way, Wonder women is a literal demi god with supernatural strength, why would someone whose strength is by definition not natural look like a body builder?
@@houseofactionCounterpoint: Superman, as well as every male hero/villain with superstrength. WW, at least, can be argued should be divinely perfect including her muscles.
@@houseofactionlegit one of the dumbest things i've heard. the others already gave great counterpoints to your argument (superman etc), so im just gonna add, she doesnt have to look like a fucking bodybuilder. but she literally looks like she doesnt lift weights. she looks dyel. absolutely pathetic for a superhero role
@@houseofaction To build on what @institches2750 already pointed out, Wonder Woman is a being based out of Greco-Roman classical mythology--Greek more than Roman, and the Greeks were obsessed with the athletic physiques and aesthetics, something that's enormously evident when studying Greco-Roman art, and in the first Wonder Woman movie many of the women who were playing the various Amazons definitely fulfilled how the Greco-Romans portrayed their war and warrior gods and goddesses--far more than Gal Gadot herself. She was definitely "fit" by Hollywood standards but not by what would fit the bill for an athlete--again the women playing the various Amazons (because they were actual athletes and strength trainers) looked the part far more.
Yeeeeeeessss! I loved Linda Hamilton's physique! I neeeed her shoulders!
I love your videos and critiques on people feeding the world BS. I grew up with bodybuilders as family members, college physical training, and science education. You are so spot on and wish more people would follow. Thank you for keeping us and me safe and healthy.

9:00 Dr. Mike, I luv yuh, but Organic is *not* a "scam" . . .
The confusion going on here is caused by folks (PhDs included) mistaking who/what Organic practices are meant to benefit. An Organic tomato from a local farmer's market vs a GMO tomato from the grocery store confers *zero* nutritional difference. You can go out & buy a GMO tomato seed, grow it Organically in your back yard, & yield identical nutritional results. -that is hard truth.
Instead, Organic typically confers (is aimed to confer) a *world* of difference in the way the land, the growing plants, the adjacent wildlife - the ecosystem - are treated. This crucial detail is even *more* pronounced when it comes to Organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised beef, chicken, turkey, etc.; there is a *world* of difference between how those cattle are treated vs. how factory farmed beef are treated (mistreated & *misfed, quite horrifically), & in the case of meats the nutritional advantages to grass-fed & pasture-raised are very real.
TLDR : Organic produce moderately increases the odds that the grower actually cares for the land, the lifeform, the ecosystem, & the end-result (the quality of the food product), & Organic meat *significantly* increases those same odds. Buying Organic is an *ethical* position, *not* a nutritional one, insofar as it is well-informed.
Problem is organic didn't mean no pesticides, it means non-synthetic sure to lax regulation. Non-synthetic is often worse for the environment because it's better spectrum and kills everything, instead of being targeting to specific pests.
While I agree with the sentiment, the issue is that people infer that you go organic for a nutritional benefit, rather than an ethical one. I suppose an argument could be made that the average food "quality" of organic food is better, but that isn't always the case and you're paying insanely high prices for that additional quality. If you feel the extra perceived quality is worth it, and you can actually afford it, then great. However, it's nutritionally identical to the non-organic equivalent. Organic food is not some magic bullet that is going to make you infinitely healthier.
Dang that’s why I’m not seeing results, I’ve been focusing on nutrition only every 8/10 meals.
Making it 17/20 is gonna make all the difference bro.
That 5% is important
@@IosifStalinsendsyoutoGulag RIGHT BABE?

This was me when i was thinking just do hanging leg raises instead of the weird super set and then Dr. Mike said hanging knee or leg raises haha
LEARNDING DING DING DING!
I wish Dr.Mike would make a review on street lifting/calisthenics athletes and their training regimen
He’s got that interview with Daniel Vadnal. I dream of the day RP has Daniel as a guest for a workout
I forgot the channel but it is these two black dudes with crazy physiques all of street pullups and pushups , they eatmainly vegan too crazy shit
Dr. Mike I sometimes make the mistake of watching your critiques while working out....the finishing on my knees crack killed me....I had to restart my set lmao love your vids! Absolute legend!
I had the exact same thought on Wonder Woman's physique.
When I think of 'Wonder Woman', I think of a beefed up (yet lean) Amazonian goddess. Gal is just kind of like normal-slim? Maybe toned is the right word? But either way, not what I envision when I think of a warrior princess. But hey, that's just me. She's a fine wonderwoman, but I just wish she looked the part a little bit more.
Personally, I really do find more attraction in slim, toned, women more than any ripped or super skinny chicks, I'm talking as to where I can see bones, I don't like either of those extremes.
I do like a woman who is fit, and in shape, and who can do kinda the same stuff as my athletically.
Totally agree. Gal hardly looks like an Amazon goddess. She looks like she was going to break in half. Way too fragile and delicate and skinny. Not super hero material.
@@zaynes5094 No one asked what you were attracted to though? The point was supposed to be what suits Wonder Woman as a character, not your dick
@@zaynes5094 sure but a female superhero role should maybe be based more on contextual correctness and not attractiveness to straight dudes I feel like
You are not wrong obviously, Amazonian warriors train like a mf day in and day out, at least get me some solid shoulder mass and i'm sold.
"But that wouldn't sell so much" - some old deluded mf in Warner Bros probably.

@@mydavegabicycle Haha, ofcourse he did
@@mydavegabicycle that makes sense - stunt people would train for actual performance, strength, athleticism, not muscles. Only the stars should be training looks via bodybuilding. The training for the two are fundamentally different and nothing Dr. Mike talked about in this video would apply to stunt training.
I’ve learned so much watching your videos. Picked up a couple bad lifting habits from HS coaches that just stuck with me, but your videos helped improve and correct🔥
I've learned the hard way not to take a sip of my drink while watching these videos, there is a very good chance I will spit it out with laughter. Thank you for the good advice and laughs.
Magnus is fleecing Hollywood. Have to give him credit for that I guess.
100% guaranteed he got the job because he's BFFs with some big shot producer. Or maybe his boyfriend.
I screen clients where i have them go through different motions so i can see where they are strong or weak. What type of injuries do they have or had, and i look for muscle imbalances. This also helps me determine if i can train them or if they require someone with better knowledge like a physical therapist.
I mostly train older people so theres a lot more things to consider. When im training someone younger with no major injuries its a lot easier and the programs look similar.
But for those types of clients (young and healthy) i try to only train with them hands on for as little as possible. Once they learn proper technique i tell them they should be able to carry on by them selves and to reach out whenever they have questions.
As a trainer i like training people who require more thought. I dont want to be a babysitter or motivator for someone i want clients that i can really turn their life around
Hopefully one day ill be a physical therapist
Love your videos and i wish i was at the level of knowledge that you are. Hopefully one day.
Mike I hope Hollywood ever gives you the chance to transform one A-list celebrity, and watch the world be wow'd with the real results you'll get for them with proper coaching. We're rooting for you! Thanks for being a bastion of good information sir.
Don't know how it is in the USA but here in Europe Dietitian is a protected term and nutritionist is something everybody is free to call themselves.
So when you hear "I'm a nutritionist" it basically means (s)he flunked school and is googling stuff you ask.
It’s the same way in Canada at the very least. My sister is currently studying to becoming a registered dietician.
Dieticians are definitely licensed in most places in the US, but every one I've ever worked with on a patient's care plan has been about 40 years behind the curve and are giving diabetics, in particular, terrible, terrible dietary advice.
I'm a feminist and I agree she looks skinny and wonder woman should look exceptionally strong.
Those Magnus Norwegian impressions were hilarious. A jacked wonder women would of been great. Would be fun to actually see some muscly women in movies that look like they are strong.
My wife is at a pre/menopause stage of life and is about 2 or 3 months into a workout routine. I tried showing her your channel to mine for inspiration and help, and her response was that a man doesnt know anything about her age group and needs. Can you point me to content to help her?
Report her for a hate crime.
As a woman that is peri-menapausal I don't understand her logic.
As a female, I'd rather work with you Mike. I want REAL workouts. I LOVE this video! Keep busting those myths. And may I add, most bikini competitors look more like Wonder Woman than Gal Gadot who is beautiful but not particularly tough looking.😊
"Fist your way to success!" My favorite advice I've ever heard.
"Wonder woman is suppose to be jacked" thank you Dr Mike, someone FINALLY said it. Gal Gadot did a fine job but I wish they did the same as they do with the guys. Get them to really bring up their physiques.
To be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was the best that they could do for Gal. She is a naturally very skinny woman, if you’ve seen her early modeling appearances or her role in Fast 5. Some people are just not genetically suited to gaining much muscle so she was never going to match the character’s look from the comics and it was probably a challenge to even get Gal to her onscreen Wonder Woman physique,
Why? It's about what's perceived as beautiful for the sex in question, not about being jacked. It's about getting max value individuals, attractive to the audience.
So in that sense, they DID DO the same as they did with the guys - got an actor that's close to the ideal for their sex (and species 😄).
Why apply male standards of beauty to females, egalitarian?
Zena was the only female television character who actually looked like she could kick butt... not sure why they think we want to see a frail chickadee fictitiously whip everything in her path.

As someone who is 5 foot 6, and at 128 pounds, and having been training at home and at the gym for competitive Arm Wrestling, I am very curious to see a video of you possibly reacting to how arm wrestlers train. Just to see if there is by any chance a different, better, or safer way to execute certain exercises.
Really armwrestling training in and of itself is not inherently dangerous, you just have to be careful about overloading, particularly when it comes to heavy partials and when training the hand.
I made the mistake of going way to heavy on wrist curls at first as I was already pretty strong and ended up fucking up my wrist for a few months
I’d like to formally request a training video where Dr Mike puts Magnus through a shoulder workout so he can get capped delts

For those of you who were disappointed that WW looked thin and terribly muscle-starved type, my observation is that nobody really appreciates bulging muscles on females outside of the bodybuilding/fitness enthusiast community. If you compare the types of female athletes on Bikini Competitions vs female models in bikini catalogs, they are worlds apart. The commercial bikini type is for the thin, toned, non-muscular type because that is generally what is socially desirable. Just an observation, not a personal opinion. Also whenever I show female bikini athletes to non-athletes, 99% of the time these people have an adverse reaction on how terrible these athletes look in relationship to desired attractiveness.
Sure, but the main point of super heroes' muscles isn't to be sexy in the first place. Thanos isn't a disgustingly jacked, lean slab of meat for sex appeal after all. It's to show that he's strong. Sex appeal is good for sales, but I'd bet most people want strong-looking heroes.
Agree
That was a quality Scandanavian impression😂
To everyone who’s mocking the “4 day cycle” the reason a lot of us do that in entertainment/ modeling & even corporate training is for 2 reasons: (1) psychologically it’s much easier because if you’re doing only 1 cheat day (5 meals) per week (7 days), the client often can’t make it thru the other 6 days. There are many reasons for this but suffice to say, psychologists agree that 3-4 days is about the max most people’s food-related willpower can work over long periods.
(2) food prep is often done in 4 day cycles. With a cold setting on your fridge most meats & veg you prepare will last that long, but that’s the outer limit. You’re going to have to prep again if you’re eating a lot of fresh/ unprocessed food
0:27 It's okay Mike, nobody is perfect.
How did i not find this mans channel sooner
The mountain climber reminded me of yoga move, from downward dog with a leg raised, bringing that leg to the opposite elbow. My initial thought was the kick (as long as not done fast/hard) adds strength and flexibility to the hip. Also kind of reminded me of a side plank with a leg raised as the load has to shift more to one arm to maintain balance and the hip carries that extra load. I think I'll try this in a tabata on my next hiit workout, alternating normal mountain climbers with this just for (lol) kicks.
Best channel ever! Thank you for keeping it real and for making me laugh hard at all the ridiculous Hollywood workouts!
"I'm not just a mean person", then immediately saying Magnus would be great as the actor for the next Wonder Woman.
Every single video, SO many laughs.
Favourite fitness channel now, by a mile.
I would love to see what you think about Katee Sackhoff’s training with Steve Zim.
Your end comment about Gal Gadot got me. I actually have come to love her in the role, although WW84 was nightmare awful in a way only the 80's could have loved, but in reality, Wonder Woman should be more like Gina Carano. SHE is built to be WW in the same way that Henry Cavil perfectly, at least physically, represents Superman.
As A Norwegian I am now more in love with you since you made fun of swedish people extra points for you lol. IF I ate only a fist of everything I would starve though , unless I am misunderstanding what he is trying to say
16:40 agreed. i rotate my spine all the time when working out. I have a few somewhat sketch work outs that i do when im strapped for time that are basically just swinging dumbbells back and forth in different motions. If anything my back feels great after the audible pops happen lol
Mike trying to do a Swedish impression sounds more Icelandic. It almost sounds like Björk (the artist) at times!
Especially the words with "R" in them. Our English accent is not like that here in Sweden. (Says I, another Magnus from the same country).
But it was funny!
Mike's imitation if Magnuss had me dying of laughter
I used to wonder why I didn't make it as personal trainer in Hollywood. Now I understand. You can't just learn from Mike, the viking and expect to be called by Hollywood. They don't want overqualified staff.
Love these vids, thank you for keeping it real.
On a binge watch - have to chime in on this one. They ARE training a marathon and have to be stupidly fit and healthy for a film shoot. You're looking at 16+ hour days with on site food and no down time for months at a time. We only see them do 1 move on screen, but in reality that could have been 30+ takes. So they don't just walk on set and do it, they have to do it over and over and over and over again. They can't just roll up fit enough to do one performance like someone in regular sports might. It's the difference between boxing in a match and boxing 10 matches back to back
Recently started watching your videos and am enjoying them so far.
When you mentioned the diet it made me wonder what your recommended diet is for someone looking to lose some fat while gaining muscle. Generally I try to eat cleanly, mostly whole foods, higher protein when incorporating strength training. My coach had suggested a diet predominantly of meats, rice (limiting brown rice and preferring white rice), fruit, and leafy greens. Honestly, I haven't tried it fully yet, but have considered it as a diet to help reduce inflammation (I tend to get that from training jiu-jitsu 6-7 days/week)
It's or maintaining weight or increasing to gain muscle. Or you first lose weight and then when you are done start gaining muscle. Only starters in the first year can decrease weight and gain muscle. I have spend way to much time trying to lose weight and gaining muscle at the same times. It's not how the body works. If the body thinks you are starving it's not going to start building muscle
Just increase your protein intake. Track your protein intake and calories overall. Train hard with weightlifting and progressively overload. You'll see results for sure.
I can watch your videos forever just for your humor & reactions.
I'm so glad I found this gem of a channel on TH-cam. It's inspired me to start taking better care of myself and exercise. Also, Mike is funny as hell.
Clicked for the title. Stayed for the accent 😂
3 cheat meals out of 20 throwing you off is so true. Magnus doesn't realize my cheat meals are 5 fists of fat.
Those are rookie numbers
Ive injured sooo many times following workout programs while having hEDS and having slipped disks. Love these break downs
As a woman who looks up to and is working to be a strong looking woman the physique for Wonder Woman really disappointed me, there are so many women who work out and look ripped out there who would have fit the role perfectly.
Yeah, I felt like she looked too scrawny for the role. I’m not exaggerating when I say my arms look more jacked than Gal’s and I only just started my fitness journey because I have a few years of hard labor from jobs under my belt. So I lost weight and my arms were already looking quite good 😭😂🙌🏽💪🏽
hes right, wonder woman is one of the few female hero's/villans there are not supposed to look like supergirl or catwoman, she is supposed to look like a beast. beautiful yet built and jacked, like someone from conan the barbarian
Most of what Dr Israetel says is right but in terms of food, sorry mate not always. In a recent video about sweeteners, you suggested that Stevia is not any better/safer than Aspartame. Unfortunately the WHO declared that it is maybe carcinogenic (group 2B). So for fact, healthier than Aspartame (until proven the contrary). Also organic food is not a scam, not perfect, but at least it is regulated for more ethical and responsible products. Yeah I'm one of those who values staying "naty". Sure not all natural things are healthy but in the long term i'd rather trust nature than biproducts built to save money for the business in a commercial context. By the way, steroids are probably carcinogenic.
Nah you are wayyyy over interpreting that, to the point you seem in bad faith.
Please give us Chris Hería's routines review, that will make us happy :)
That would be hilarious, I support this
Agree!!!!
Biggest takeaway I'm getting from the celeb vids is this: Most of these trainers know what they're doing, but their clients are potentially insisting on the superfluous dynamism et al. They're probably bored, and assume that the more complex a move seems, the better it is for them overall.
The Viking edits killed me everytime lmao
You forgot to detract for the silly standing row but nobody cares about the scores, just like Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Editing was on point today too
These "celebrity trainers" are the biggest broscientists ever.
Pro scam artists tbh.
Mike, dude, I don't train a ton, but I have to admit that your vids make me happy in a weird, quiet, passive-aggressive kind of way.
"they're called standing rows because he's sure as hell not bent over"
There's always at least one line every video that kills me
As a woman, you will never go to 'feminist hell' for saying a woman needs more muscle. We need less men telling women to 'be carefull lifting, you may get bulky'
I gotta' say, I did magnus' ab workout routine, in which those leg click mountain climbers are part of it. It actually did work after a couple of months of consistently doing this routine and I did see results. My core wasn't very strong to begin with so perhaps these were beginner gains in that area.
I like Magnus 😊
i love how he always drops the weirdly icelandic and finnish accent when doing any nordic
i'd actually like to see how stuntspeople train since they do the major part of the stunts
Chris Bumstead said on Chris William’s ‘modern wisdom’ podcast that training lower abs (which he said can be done with leg raises) can help to pull your gut in and make your belly flatter, I’d be really interested to hear your take on this claim
Logic tells me it would make you belly bigger. Because your ab muscles get bigger. But this requires a professionals input.
The degree of control you have over the transverse abdominus will assist with making your lower stomach appear flatter when flexed, as well as being able to vacuum. Lower ab movements tend to favor this muscle a bit more than the rectus abdominus. There's nothing magic about it, it's just targeted training like anything else.
You might be able to make your abdominal muscles a little "tighter" and tense but unfortunately that can never change your gut. All the visible fat deposits sit above the muscle.
@@ericclose6897What you're proposing isn't like anything else, no part of your body will ever become smaller by growing muscles.
@@iz2333 I didn't say anything about becoming smaller. I said it can appear flatter by having better control while flexing. The transverse abdominus isn't a round muscle - it's a band. It will increase in size with training, but it will also get tighter naturally and be able to become even tighter with flexing. The posing in bodybuilding is just as much about the illusion of proportions as it is about biology.
2:37 im deeeead☠️😂😂😂😂
It's weird just seeing Magnus describe the regimen but we don't see Gal anywhere in the video performing anything..
That Magnus immitation at the start was amazing.
Imagine if Magnus did a Jewish imitation for Dr. Mike. Cancelled in an instant.
David Draiman and Dr. Mike look so much alike - just in the face. Is it just me?
Hi, Dr. Mike. Long time watcher, first-time commentator. I'm curious, how is it that celebrities manage to achieve decent results with ineffective workouts? Is it just proof that even a sub-optimal routine will give you results if you stick with it consistently? Or do you think the trainers/celebrities are lying about what the routine is to give the impression that it's utilitarian focused instead of physique-centric? Or do you think they are doing sub-optimal routines, but they use special supplements that make it easier to gain results?
Roids, Ozempic, plastic surgery,.. They usualy leave out this part.
Anavar, lipo and diet
Magnus: We knew Gal can't act to save her life, so we at least had to make her training program legitimate.
She only gets roles because she is hot and Israeli
