Day 1358. I forgot what deloads are. I still vaguely remember what brought me here. Dr. Mike said in one of his videos to really try to go to above MRV once, just so see what its like. That point never came. I am up to 69 sets per muscle group per workout. I have to bring my own plates to my gym now because they dont have enough for me to get an adequate stimulus. After yesterdays chest workout in which i benched 1000 kilos for 20 reps with two barbells, one in each hand, my wife called me crying and told me she cant take it anymore. i havent been at home for over a year because my workouts take so long. I don't need her. All i need to do is find my MRV. I have become muscle. I have become hypertrophy. Thanks Dr. Mike.
Holy shit at 7:30 you can see the thickness on Mike's lower back like jesus christ the cheer size on a push day with 0 pump shows the years and years of dedication
@@stdavis22 sad thing is if you took steroids you'd look as shit as you still do regardless of steroids there hard work and genius bodybuilding advice has gotten him there
It's actually relieving to see dr. mike's abs in dipping and see that not all the people have perfectly lined up poster abs like some channels do. Good luck guys in the competitions.
I really like that Mike is always making bodyweight exercises part of the priority. Like his fitness faqs interview. U get the balance and strength of bw work and it can help ur lifts bit.
Yeah. I used to feel bad about not bench pressing anymore, because I noticed that my shoulders were getting absolutely ravaged by the end of each meso cycle. I switched to a machine chest press, and the stimulus to fatigue is so much better, while allowing me to train to complete muscular failure safely. I still use barbells, but for stiff leg deadlifts or squats intermittently.
That's the hardest part for me, I don't have anyone like minded especially in hypertrophy around me so I don't even have a training partner, the only person I have that's into fitness around me is my friend who's "CrossFit and only CrossFit bro, you ain't shit unless you do CrossFit" and he only intakes like 1000 calories a day, and is very condescending about everything, so I stay the hell away from him, but anyway, this channel with Mike, Jared and Charlie has really helped me out a lot, has really got me pumped and looking forward to my sessions again
This video corrected a lot of thinking and execution i implemented... the check hypertp man that was insane but I learned sooo much to implement in my program change a lot for the better
If you're achieving adequate stimulation for each muscle group, that is way too much volume for a natural. Unless you're on the ol' juice of course, in which case.. godspeed I guess lol
Hey guys! Thanks again for the great content! I'd like to ask a question about the 20+ rep sets. I train in the 6/12 rep range cause I think it's a closer to correct measure of my abilities over time, theoretically. I also get, that when you get really strong and developed these might be more productive but do you think high rep sets, even done rest pause style are a good way to track progress or is this more of an a intensity technique to avoid injury pre contest cause you guys are so strong?
I don't get how myoreps work. If you have to do 3 sets of Inverted Skullcrushers and you got 25 in the first time, you gotta do do 25 reps in each following set resting a few seconds? Set 1: 25 reps Set 2: 15+5+5+5 reps Set 3: 12+5+3+3+3 reps It's that correct?
Myoreps itself just means clusters of reps spread apart by about 3-5 seconds tops to create one total set. You don't necessarily have to total the same number of reps in subsequent sets. Mike is doing that in this video as an intensity technique to get the proper SFR for his final week of training before his show.
Joining the private Team Full ROM Forum gives you the ability to ask and get answers to these types of questions and how to incorporate them into your training.
At about 5:45 i realized I'm watching some buff bald dude grunt it out to a instrumental version of "truffle butter"... i ask myself "what am i doing with my life?"
Like all lifts, it’ll depend on the individual and how well they can perform that particular exercise in terms of getting the best contraction, stretch, ROM etc. for whatever they’re trying to achieve by doing that exercise
@@mcdermott9656 I've done it for bicep and tricep training so far. I don't think it's been long enough to notice any significant change visually or with the measuring tape however I will say that it does seem to make the same volume of work more impactful (I actually get mild DOMs using this method, my arms hadn't been sore in years prior) which I guess is a good indicator that stimulus is occurring. It's a good way to hit more high intensity reps per session without drastically increasing overall tonnage.
Dr. Mike: what do you think is the reason people such as myself have the complete inability to gain any upper pectoral development? Not that it matters so much to me these days now I'm a little older, but I never really understood why no matter how hard I train or what type of exercises I do, I don't get the pec split down the sternum and the upper half of my chest remains flat as a board. Is this just shitty muscle insertions and poorly aligned clavicles? I never liked doing bench press because I couldn't get any chest activation in it either. 5'10, 188 lbs caucasian so not skinny or unable to build muscle generally, if that helps.
7:45 look at Mike's back and tell me wtf is that bulge of muscle protruding out of his back like an alien egg. Is it the ql (quadratus lumborum) or the spinal erektors? I'm baffled!...
He's basically releasing his shoulder girdle and getting extra stretch on the pecs. You can see his hips move down with his head but his shoulder girdle is pretty much locked
Can somebody tell me how many total reps they r doing on the myo reps bicep curls. If I get this system right its 22 for a straight set. Than rest for how long? Than go for 22 rest/pauze myoreps stalen again. After that rest and then again 22 ? So 66 total reps?
@googas yeah I understand that but I want to now how the set scheme is setup, lets say I do 16 for the first straight set how do I continue the 2 myorep sets and what is the rest period in between the 2 myorepsets
You do 15-20 reps, as much as you need to come near close to muscle failure, thats your activation set. Then rest 5-10 seconds, do 3-5 more reps, again rest 5-10 seconds, do 3-5 more reps. Thats your two mini-sets. And that basically counts as if you did three sets. You can do 2-5 mini-sets. Its a way to do a lot of work in the gym in a short amount of time.
Hey Dr. Mike, excuse my ignorance, but I just bought the new 5 day custom template and noticed it only had two exercises for a specific muscle per session (2 of chest and 2 of back on their respective day). Wouldn’t you think that’s too little for such a big muscle ? I’d have to do 5+ sets. Thanks
Just one thing - Charly must or rather should focus a bit more on...mid section control. In some shots (like dips) - Jeez man...Alien/baby wants to come out immediately! But - Definitely it's not an hate. Overall physique is impressive, massive and standing on stage, everything seems to be immaculate and on point! And I'm huge fan of whole RP crew so...
Thanks for the feedback! Turns out he was eating a bit too much fiber and sugar alcohol. Once Jared reduced those in Charly's diet, his midsection came in completely! - Dr. Mike
@googas an outlet is an umbilical hernia. I never had an outie until the weights got heavy and I exerted myself. Mine doesn't stick out near as much as Charlie's, an a little less that dr Mike, but it is a minor hernia. If you research it, you'll easily be able to confirm that is is.

It's great to see that lifters can find balance, and know when life gets in the way of lifting 👍
This is the quality commentary I've come to expect
Is this true?

Dr. Mike should do standup shows, would be lovely to watch him go all out on the comedy/mimicry !

@@bonkersdonkers7381 I found a similar thing with Squats. Traded them out for hacks & haven't looked back as far as my leg/quad development goes.
Dr. Mike, you are truly a beast and an inspiration, thank you!

Great stuff Dr. Mike love the threads they are channeling Hulkamania

Thank you.
These edits are legendary!
Good work Dr. Mike! 🤩
I always do my forearm work in the shower
Howcome to the chest press machine strictly and not dumbbells or free weight chest press in general ?
I want the dogs' full days of training 😭😭
Question about the cable curls… why do you bring the bar all the way to your forehead? I’ve seen you do this in the past
that bit with the dogs just fucking around… highlight of the video
yo Dr. Mike, does Hulk Hogan know you're wearing his colos?!? 🤣
i miss Charly 🥺
Mikes shoulder tattoo 😂😂 love it
Woah, joe rogan and bobby lee are jacked AF now!
damn charlies muscle separations is great
Was Dr. Mike trying to look like the second to last boss in a Hulk Hogan video game?
Is there evidence behind converging chest machine being “better” vs parallel chest machines (like the one used in the first exercise)
Like all lifts, it’ll depend on the individual and how well they can perform that particular exercise in terms of getting the best contraction, stretch, ROM etc. for whatever they’re trying to achieve by doing that exercise
Looking huge af bro, keep it going!
Where can I find this music?
Would love to see you debate Paul Saladino about nutrition
I might try the RP approach to myo reps for smaller movements. Intuitively makes sense. 👍

On TH-cam they aren't called money shots they're called thumbnails
I still struggle to understand the differences between MYO reps and Giant sets.
Easy: myoreps only give you a few seconds rest between mini-sets, and they don't always have a total rep goal. - Dr. Mike
DGG 4 LYFE!!!
I feel blessed
