I've really started to adopt Mike's way of going slow and really feeling the muscle contract during the exercise and it's so much better then just trying to gogogo This guy's got good advice.
The pause / press / negative. Definitely learning to train with lower tempo / lower weight / higher engagement. My joints are thanking me and leaving the ego lifting in the rear view. Never felt better 👍
As an old man of 50 looking to stay healthy for as many years as possible I cycle / run for fitness & to keep my heart pumping, and do weight training to try and preserve muscle mass for as many years as possible. MT's videos very helpful on form for exercises / ideas for new exercises on the weights. Would love a video aimed at older folk trying to stay healthy - it may already be there. Couldn't give a monkey's if MT enhanced or not - his video content is delivered well and very helpful to my health goals
47 here, just started like 3 months ago, watched athlean-x's dumbbells exercises (only have dumbbells, to poor to buy other stuff) now i'm mixing the two i am morbidly obese, heaviest i weight 155 kilos at 176cm height, bmi of ~50 so i need to before my body says "do it yourself, i'm done" already seeing a lot of progress/growth in chest, shoulders, traps and back, pretty proud.. but the belly man ... and bottom pecs, hard when you only have dumbbells and no bench but i'm pushing on good luck, we need it if we wanna keep up with these youngsters ;-)
Greg Doucette said what you’ve done with your body is remarkable. I couldn’t agree more. Love your videos, I’ve been following your channel for a long time now. Well done Mike!
11:35 Reasoning behind the machine as opposed to dumbells for machine lateral raise is spot on. I always enjoy hearing perspectives as to why certain people do certain exercises as opposed to the contrary. Looking great man!
Greg is an absolute tool. He predicted mikes body fat to be 6 percent but anyone with minimum bodybuilding knowledge knows that he has way more than that. Mike could be on steroids but out of billions of humans out there I think that some people can reach this physique without steroids.
Thank you for these videos and descriptions. It’s helpful to be shirtless because we can see the actual muscles which are involved in the exercise. You are very inspirational.
Loved the session. Wrote everything down and doing it today. Thanks for a ll of the pro tips. Will definitely apply the 3 second negative today, I have been doing slower negatives but not quite 3 seconds, cant wait to apply all of the tips today. Thanks Mike!
Man the music clips when working rear delts 14:58 and shrugs 15:42 are amazing can you also write them in the description please? I notced them for the first time!
At 4 minutes I always thought about that too. If how we train while in our teen years effects the way our body develops long term? I think it's partially true, I didn't have a squat rack and it took me a long time to even get close to balancing out my upper and lower body. But I'm also barrel chested with small calves and long achilles tendons so the foundation genetics are also a factor.
It sure is a good thing u all don’t see what I look like shirtless walking around outside on the beach at 9% fat. You would all be saying I’m obese as I’m not as lean as Mike. The last video I did on Mike was comparing Mike Thurston to Mike O’Hearn in order to show people how obvious it was that Mike o Hearn was not natural by saying look at the comparison of these 2. Of course it’s possible that he’s natural there’s probably a few dozen guys in the world that could look like this natural if you want to believe that he’s one of the two dozen people in the world it could’ve potentially done it natural then be my guest.
I can't be the only one who thinks you overrated how unlikely it would be to achieve this physique with the use of PEDs. Saying only a few in a million would achieve this on PEDs is a big step from saying you thought he was natural 10 months ago.
Love love love Mike Thurston. He’s the MAN!. Haters go to another video keep your negative comments to yourself & take a look in the mirror starting at your pelvic line & start going up your body that should make you shut up. NO one cares if he’s natural or not. He’s truly a male specimen. Get used to it!
Dude...you're such an inspiration to me as an NPC Men's Physique Competitor and fitness coach. A lot of people could learn from you. You're one of the best and in my Top 3 for sure.
I appreciate your content. I think your the best on TH-cam! You’re not full of shit like the majority and everything I’ve seen has helped me tremendously! Thank you!
If someone asks me: Pick which body you wanna have, without hesitation, I'd says Mike's. For me, you have the most aesthetic physique in the world. Period.
Always watch his videos before going gym i come home after work after 12 hrs of work as a labourer tired asf and when i watch mike make me wanna train .
I believe he is right about a boost in muscle growth if you've trained them since children/teens. I started training delts and biceps as a kjd so they grow fairly easy compared to the rest of my muscles
Yeah I have issues pressing correctly, always using my shoulders. I dunno why I can't keep my shoulders back. I just don't get it. Fml 😢 Although last chest day I ignored pressing cause of that and just did floor chest flys and pushups. That's it. Did each until failure with very short rest between. Chest was more sore than after any other day I've exercised for past 6 months (partially because any pressing I've done has been pointless cause my shoulders take over).
Watch chris Jones video on retracting the scapula, for incline bench press the video is literally called retract the scapular, it will change the way that you train.
The good thing with watching Mike train is that he is so ripped, that you can see the muscle he's working no matter which one it is..sick content man!!
Micheal, i would need some help. in an older video, you talked about training splits, one of them that I liked was Monday: quad focus, Tuesday: Chest & tricep, Wednesday: Rest, Thursday: ham focus, Friday: back &bicep, Saturday: weak point. and Sunday rest. So my question for you is: what about training shoulders and calves, and what about training muscle groups 2x a week?. i Would love for you to answer this British man
Appreciate that about keeping shoulders back, only doing this consciously last couple months and helping a lot, not sure if I was doing it before or not ( past 7 years lol )
Mike, I would say yes on your thoughts about the first muscles trained --> easiest to develop. I did arms like crazy, then at the age of 20 i completely stopped, now at 30, 3 months in - i do arms twice a month or I will look unproportional, well.. triceps 3 times. And that's like with everything else in life the longer you do it, the more you master it.
I saw Mike At St pancreas international’s station few months ago and I swear he looks bigger in real life, like my god his huge. Sadly i was too shy to ask for a picture or something cos he was getting some breakfast at some place so I didn’t wanna disturb him. But yh he is genuinely huge 🎊🎊
Loved the little joke at the beginning of the video 😂 nice touch Mike 👌🏻 another informational and entertaining video as always, keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 best in the biz
@Mike Thurston, since your next video is going to be about rest day, please include how you spend time at home. For example, if you're gonna watch a movie, what is your sitting posture. How to fight laziness. Also please discuss how underweight ppl studying at college should balance out diet/weight goals with education goals.
I've got a problem with Push day. It's too long. My workout is: 1. Dips, 2. flies, 3. incline, 4. flat, 5. decline bench press, 6. Rope pull down, 7. Skull crushers, 8. overhead rope extensions, 9. Shoulder press, 10. Shoulder raise, 11. Delts, 12. Crazy eight. According to the mountain dog you should never do more than 7/8. I don't know what to cut.
Take out decline bench. (Works same as dips). Alternate between Incline bench and shoulder press each push workout, there is no need to do both in the same day. Superset your triceps with your lateral raises to save on time. And do you actually do them all in that order?? If so what is your reasoning for dips AND flies before a pressing movement? I'm guessing you are going to say pre exhaustion.
Hey Mike...thanks for great content and advice. I need to lose around my stomach area. I find it very difficult everything else is starting to shape up well.
strange one with the overhead barbell shoulder press because they say when you finish at the top it should be behind your head but the smith machine doesn't perform that action.
Did you ever try the most common split? (e.g. chest Monday, legs Tuesday, back Wednesday, rest Thursday, shoulders Friday, arms Saturday, rest Sunday) If so, why’d you change it?
I think there is some truth to certain body parts becoming a strong point if there were trained in early age. When barefooted I automatically used to walk with my heels up as a kid (still do this) and did stuff that was taxing to my calves and now they're overdeveloped compared to my other muscles. My arms are only 16.5 inches but my calves are over 19 inches despite almost never training them directly.
Mike holding 2020 by the collar and giving it a can if whoopass! What an inspiration. God bless you Mike,and really really appreciate the fitness videos that you have shifted back to again. So much to learn from you. ✌🏻♥️
its true, my chest is the most dominant muscle, cuz when i started training it was push ups only, and in the gym at 17 years i trained chest like 3 times per week :D, so now whatever i do chest is always like the one thing u notice first, still my fav to train tho but i do like 3 or 4 exercises max lol. So theres definetly something in that, wish i trained properly when i started , 24 now btw doing push pull legs regiment right now, 5/6 days per week
Mike I really appreciate this series. The tips and advice are really valuable. I am wondering if you have muscle soreness after your workout and how would u handle it because I am still sore when I am starting my new workout
Saw his first video of him doing the tomorrow land video. Thinking this bastards so lucky to have a good body ... And of course now u see the work and dedication
I have watched quite a few of your videos and I find them super interesting and fun but I was wondering, do you have a gym etiquette video or tips for starting at a new gym?
“REST DAYS” for me are very difficult as my job is 8-5 and I’m a window fitter so my cardio is still high and lifting/carrying is still very intense so I still eat the same amount of calories and my body sometimes doesn’t feel I get enough rest unless it’s weekend and I don’t go out. could you recommend a higher calorie or good cheat meal what I’ll feel that my body has got the most out of a rest day as in during the week without lifting my own weights due to my home gym ?
JOIN a gym mate and go before work so go 6am, that will sort you not feeling like you're getting your rest, beat the shit out of yourself and I promise the rest of the day you fitting windows will be a dream you will feel high. Eat 2 chapattis with kidney bean lentils and main you see what happens the next day - eat it 1 hour before bed, when you go gym at 6 you will notice a surge in power. 2 chapatis and a bowl of delicious kidney beans with a glass of chilled milk will; get you 900 cals and 75 gramms of protein.... If you dont look ugly in the gym then you aint training right..
Just realized this was a full week..... I'm sitting here telling myself if I do more than 4 lift variants I'm exhausted, and then here you are doing like 10+ 😂😂😂

Eat 2 chapattis with kidney bean lentils and main you see what happens the next day - eat it 1 hour before bed, when you go gym at 6 you will notice a surge in power. 2 chapatis and a bowl of delicious kidney beans with a glass of chilled milk will; get you 900 cals and 75 gramms of protein....
If you dont look ugly in the gym then you aint training right..
You the real magic mike 💪🏽 beautiful man keep up the good mahi 😂👍🏽

Just realized this was a full week..... I'm sitting here telling myself if I do more than 4 lift variants I'm exhausted, and then here you are doing like 10+ 😂😂😂
