that's so dumb. All those girls have no glutes from the begining. Then they start dieting to unhealthy BF level and lose even more glute muscles... That doesn't make any sense! Look at pro athletic women sprints and jumps. They have double the glute mass but nearly the same BF level !! If deadlifting 1.5x BWfor reps and/or broad jumping 1.5x height is barley doable. You have not much muscle on your backside!
@@Leonidas-eu9bb Bro she's not an olympic sprinter nor a jumper, she's a bodybuilder. You have to get lean for this sport, what the fuck are you talking about?
I do not think pro athletes have bodyfat this low, this is grainy with intramuscle separation visible, and BF this low is unlikely to be conducive to optimum muscle development or performance.
@@Leonidas-eu9bb I see it the same way. Women like this could rather gain some mass, before starting to flex. In the other hand doc here probably knows better than me.
Having Dr. Mike as a trainer like this probably squezzes 20% more work out of you than you thought you had in you. I wasnt even doing the he lifting and i was like "wtf man what do you mean two more reps because that last one had bad form!!!".
This channel changed my life. After 20 years of training, I haven't felt the progress butterflies in so long. After binge watching these videos my workouts have come back to life and I am so excited to lift again ❤.
Same here, I literally lifted for about 10 years now but it felt pointless. Now I've been watching Dr Mike for about 2 months and became more invested in my training and diet and wow.. things are changing in 2 months more than they ever did in all those 10 years.
I've been lifting for about 7 months. I've been so focused on progressive overload that I've neglected other things like going slow in a movement, pausing and doing full ROM. I'm going to dial the weight a little back so I can do full ROM and really take it slow. Thanks Dr. Mike.
Same dude. I’ve now been focusing on slowing down the movement , pausing at the deep stretch and full ROM and it’s already giving me results after years of lifting.
I have been coming to TH-cam for body building knowledge since I was literally 15 years old. Ive watched everyone and there is nobody that creates content that gets me as excited as yours does. I love & watch & like every single video & i look forward to meeting you some day.
OMG thank you so much! I've already "met" you but the police say that me sitting in a dumpster across from your house all night with a periscope doesn't count as me "meeting you" but does count as "a series of misdemeanors and potentially a felony or two."- Dr. Mike
Another episode example of; Dr.Mike: You don't always have to go to failure and can get great gains through moderate rep ranges of intensity, and don't need to be sore after a workout.... Also Dr.Mike: I will TAKE YOUR SOUL, and YOU WILL SUFFER until RHABDO CONSUMES YOU!
The training sessions are also always the peak ones, with the highest intensity because that's the most entertaining to watch, no one trains with this intensity everyday. He has another video where he mentions this, because he was doing a video with someone not at the peak, so they where training very far from failure.
I would love to see Dr. Mike train regular folks. You can learn so much from these videos but I would like to see how to deal with people that never placed a foot in the gym.
You really don't wanna train hard for your first few sessions. Just two hard sets will leave you crippled and sore for five days. I have a feeling it'll be a radically different level of effort. And yeah, that would be cool to see.
@@espenstoro I suspect you are right. I just followed along with the video and my legs are squiffy and my upper body has Parkinson's shake. The following days will tell whether I was mistaken or not.
I just want to take a moment and thank you for having me be done with hip thrusts. Once I got over 300 lbs on the bar, I started having shooting nerve pains in my left hip.
Same!!! Once I did 300 I started getting insanely painful nerve almost like sciatica pain in my lower back / glute tie in - and just realized hip thrusts aren’t doing it no more!
@@wildthang9355 LITERALLY. When you realize you can have a gorgeous dump truck without losing your common sense, OR GETTING injured, it's fun isn't it?????
Thank you for bringing amazing and strong women on your channel! So motivating!! I have been having issues with deadlifts and RDLs hurting my back, so seeing your setup and tips during the workout is so helpful!
Hold on … How do you know she identifies as a woman??? Of course I’m joking. I just always like to point out how ridiculous liberals sound by using their own talking points. 😂
My life mission is to train with Dr.Mike. I got close by winning top 10 in the RP transformation challenge , but another Lithuanian beat me to it . Well done! And amazing shout out to Lithuania! 💪💪💪
Front foot elevated lunge is one of the best glutes exercise ever, if not the best. It’s definitely my favourite of all time! Thank you Dr. Mike and RP for introducing me to this movement and providing excellent demonstration of it and also comprehensively explaining why it works and how it works. The stretch I get from it is just amazing and it makes me get way more out of less weight. I also pause at the bottom in the deep stretched position. I really focus on stretch mediated hypertrophy as you recommend and I’ve improved immensely. I get really sore every single time after doing only around 2 sets of them. I’ll definitely add more when I’ll need more but for now 2 sets work like a charm. Really appreciate your presence in the fitness community because without you I wouldn’t have made as much gains or improved as much and would’ve been training in a quite suboptimal manner. Fitness community need individuals like you and Jared to guide them in the right direction with the best and most suitable training philosophy for hypertrophy. You’re very appreciated and I’m very grateful to you. 🙏👍💪
I think this is my favorite dr mike video format, every single time I just want to go hit the gym and try all these!!! I've been doing the sump deficit deadlifts and it feels crazy!!!! You can really feel the science hahaha 😊
I literally pr’d on dumbbell bench incline since I’ve started training with your intensity. It’s definitely not as intense as this but I now know what training hard looks like for the rest of my life. Also my pr was 65lbs for 8, not much but a lot for me
Hell yeah! Congratulations, that’s great work. Unsolicited advice: drop that “it’s not a lot” from your vocabulary. It undervalues your success and passes implicit judgement on folks weaker than you. You can choose to be a force of positivity for yourself and those around you.
Nerds feel free to correct me but this is the type of training you would do at the end of an accumulation phase, it's not a sustainable level of training to do all the time you will 100% burn out and not make progress if you try it (unless you take lots of drugs)
Dude your fuking ques are gold. Seriously. That chest up shit is really legit. I mean i always hear you say it in your videos, but when you actually hear that shit and tell yourself to do it look forward to you almost always find some energy and you just get up. Legit! Love it!
Poliquin used to talk about the power of tempo a lot and I never fully understood it until watching your videos. I now see what you can do with it, even more so than volume.
Nothing gets my glutes pumped better than high rep hip thrusts. If you don't ego lift on hip thrusts and go for sets of 25 reps, then they are excellent.
A huge upgrade to my leg days is realizing how much weight I actually put onto the non working leg. Most bodybuilders can't even do a good pistol squat. So working on entirely single leg movements even with extremely light weight had me gain so much during the last few months!
Yeah... my smaller leg its much stronger than my big leg. The difference in size its getting very noticible. Ive to start to do more unilateral work See it if gets more equal size.
What are some of your go to movements for unilateral work? I have a bunion in my left big toe which causes significant pain when placing pressure which makes it hard for me to do lunges 😔
Being so close to competition and so lean, I wonder how many calories she's on for this. I know this shit is hard af even without that extra difficulty of being low on fuel!
Her glute development is just amazing especially for how lean she is. Good for her to push it that hard so close to a competition, it’s not easy as you’re just so hungry at that point
Front foot elevated lunge seems like a wonderful exercise. I seriously can’t wait to try it out. I’m a hundred percent sure that it’ll feel amazing and stretch on the glutes and quads will be fantastic. Can’t wait to make awesome amount of gains with that movement. Thanks! 💪
@@breki92 I loved it! I did it while holding a pair of dumbbells so the stability demand was a little bit higher as compared to the smith machine version. Smith machine version is definitely superior for hypertrophy as you can really focus on the mind muscle connection and not have to focus a ton on balance. I did it with dumbbells as that’s what I had access to because I’m currently training at home gym. I stacked a few plates on top of each other to elevate my feet. The stretch on the quads and glutes is like no other. It’s seriously out of this world. I started with only two working sets for each leg so I don’t get too sore and focus on mastering the technique with high quality work only. It’s a great exercise. Just focus on a slow and controlled descent and pausing at the bottom so you can get more out of less weight and make better gains. 👍
I’m so excited for this. I have the same issue as her as far as judges feedback and the Division- quads are right at the cut off so I should/need to just *maintain them* while continuing to build my posterior goodies. Its a challenge, most lunges (even glute focused ones) my quads take over
I followed along with the foot elevated lunge & some of your other recommended exercises from another video. All I can say it’s wowwww - soooo good and brutal! 🙏❤️🔥🔥👌
Ive used the split leg rest rule with single leg exercises for a few years. You notice your balance and effort improve immensely, plus with dumbbells it recovers your grip.
The most incredible thing about this is that she’s barely breathing hard. Her fitness must be off the charts good as most people when doing that kind of work suck so much wind. She sort of melted into a puddle mouth closed. That’s amazing
Dr Mike! I'm a new subscriber to your TH-cam content and man! I love it! I was an avid watcher of another chanel for the past two years and now they just annoy me with their polished more entertainment less fitness approach. Thanks for re-inspiring me. I only wish i had saved my money buying their programs and put it towards your app which looks amazing. Love your humour too man. Thanks again for your no nonsense content.🙏🏼
Great video. Thank you for all the work! At about 5 minutes and 50 seconds in the video, she's doing an exercise that seems a bit like a squat instead of what he's saying is a deadlift (deficit deadlift). If someone could explain it more, that would be really helpful.
Yes, this may be one of my favorites. She is at such a low body fat percentage, every single major and minor muscle shows through. Strength wise and body type , this is exactly where my body is at, we don't need to lift 750 pounds, but just the intricate slow, perfect concentric and eccentric movements are everything. And being fortunate enough to have a coach like this, just wow. What results can be achieved 😮
I've been enjoying the videos focusing on female training, especially lower body exercises. It would be great to have more content about female training splits and how to maintain a smaller upper body. I've noticed that even with leg exercises that engage the upper body, my upper body muscles tend to become dominant. I've even been injecting Botox into my traps, biceps, and triceps to keep them from growing, but I'd like to find a more effective solution without sacrificing training.
That's a terribly unhealthy mindset to have for your fitness goals. The only way you're going to make progress is by changing the way you think about it first. As a female, your upper body is not going to get very muscular whatsoever. Botox in your biceps and triceps though? Come on...
You will never have a bigger upper body... THINK. I know its hard for some. But men want to have big upper body, all they do its upper body, and still majority are small.
@JackgarPrime 😂 May as well be turned into a baking show at that point lol. They're just naked wearing only a an apron and they bake a cake and show off their cakes 😂
So many people are too soft to handle a trainer pushing them to their limits. I fricken LOVE seeing how tough she is and willing to be pushed far beyond what is comfortable
I thought I'd like to do this workout, but then you mentioned she's Lithuanian, and so am I, so now I HAVE to do this. Will be thinking about the blood of our enemies 🇱🇹
Definitely going to be replacing hip thrusts with some of these. If nothing else, it'll mean that setting up for glutes doesn't take over a half dozen plates any more, lol
I removed the hip thrusts from my glute workout after seeing a video from Dr. Mike explaining about the poor hypertrophic value. I was so hard to set it up!! Sometimes I wonder if we're the crazy ones though, I see all girls doing it!
Each to their own. It is still rated a good exercise. He says it himself. Seems like people are now bashing the exercise when science shows its effectiveness.
Dr Mike reminds me of the exceptionally good coaches I had when I was young, lesson always is when you do something, do it fkn right! Beautiful stuff Dr Mike, I’m rejuvenated with the Full ROM and constantly in pain from the workouts! If it ain’t hard it ain’t worth it!
Only as hard as you know you can recover from for the next workout and not overly stress the body so much that it accumulates excess water. It's definitely a tiptoeing game at that point. - Dr. Mike
Dr Mike, I noticed in most of these videos there are 3-4 total exercises per session (and sometimes the whole session focuses on one muscle). How is it possible to reach the top end of MRV (e.g. +20 sets/week) on all the other muscles with this amount of exercises and especially if frequency is like twice a week? Or is it because its the beginning of a meso/other muscles or deprioritized? Would love to understand this bit
I think a lot of these videos are really highly trained individuals on gear who are coming in for a peak week workout with a deload coming afterwards. I don't think this is representative of an average training session or an average individual
I think the answer the answer is just that +20 sets per week is NOT the top end of MRV for many muscle groups when you train in the way they train! Jared's MRV for hamstrings is around 7 sets for instance.
@@antoinebonzon6151 that's a great point for me it's funny enough 0 I'll did a light leg day once was so fed up afterwards I couldn't move for 3 days, to be fair I'm cycling (with a bike) around 2-4 hours every day on a high fatigue lv so I'll just can't train legs (they are growing and looking great from The cycling but extra training is just to much) and yes I'll know that isnt optimal for muscle growth but that isn't my goal for legs ;)
A lot of times that much volume isnt needed. Its more like 12-20 anyway on average and often decreases as you get more advanced. For myself after 6 years of consecutive training and the last 4 being RP style most of my mrvs are 8-10 sets per week. Obviously it's on a case by case basis though
Doesn't matter what sex someone is...I get so fuckin jazzed up seeing someone work their ass off in the gym. It's so sick how hard she'd push every set. What a lifter.

I only wish i had saved my money buying their programs and put it towards your app which looks amazing. Love your humour too man. Thanks again for your no nonsense content.🙏🏼
Thank you so much! It's great to have you here! - Dr. Mike
I love this girl, I follow her channel, glad to see her on RP!
Love this video. Great workout, Ms. L looks fantastic. Love her effort. One of my all time favorite videos, I LOVE leg training. Cheers! :)
Great video. Thank you for all the work!
At about 5 minutes and 50 seconds in the video, she's doing an exercise that seems a bit like a squat instead of what he's saying is a deadlift (deficit deadlift). If someone could explain it more, that would be really helpful.
It’s a sumo deadlift, it’s probably just what she preferred to do over conventional
This girls got muscles in her legs I don’t even know existed
Hahaha, i bet i gained more after this session 😅💀 FIRE
Great Coach and great mental strength of the girl working out. Both very impressive!
She's in insane shape.
Yes, this may be one of my favorites.
She is at such a low body fat percentage, every single major and minor muscle shows through. Strength wise and body type , this is exactly where my body is at, we don't need to lift 750 pounds, but just the intricate slow, perfect concentric and eccentric movements are everything. And being fortunate enough to have a coach like this, just wow. What results can be achieved 😮
Some legs! WOW!!
I visited Dragon's Lair last time I was in Vegas. What an awesome gym.
I've been enjoying the videos focusing on female training, especially lower body exercises. It would be great to have more content about female training splits and how to maintain a smaller upper body. I've noticed that even with leg exercises that engage the upper body, my upper body muscles tend to become dominant. I've even been injecting Botox into my traps, biceps, and triceps to keep them from growing, but I'd like to find a more effective solution without sacrificing training.
That's a terribly unhealthy mindset to have for your fitness goals. The only way you're going to make progress is by changing the way you think about it first. As a female, your upper body is not going to get very muscular whatsoever. Botox in your biceps and triceps though? Come on...
You will never have a bigger upper body... THINK. I know its hard for some. But men want to have big upper body, all they do its upper body, and still majority are small.
@@ArantyrDarkhandbro what the fuck are you talking about
Very inspiring. I need to hear what pushes her to keep going. (outside of this video, since the trainer was spectacular)
Dr. Mike, what are your thoughts on side/lateral lunges for building glutes and/or abductors?
I'm also curious about this
Got a V-shred ad on this video Mike. Closest we will get to a Vshred/RP Collab or is this a teaser. Cant wait
I need a long-form debate between Dr Mike and Bret Contreras on glute training
Nobody needs that 😂
The entire debate should be them showing off their own glutes and whoever has the better ones wins.
@JackgarPrime 😂 May as well be turned into a baking show at that point lol. They're just naked wearing only a an apron and they bake a cake and show off their cakes 😂
There is no 1 truth as every body is different. Just use what works for you and take what helps
A 5 hour video😂
Thanks!
I've never seen more athletic glutes in my LIFE, you can see the seperation of the medius and maximus I'm blown away, what an athlete!!
She is crazy diced for a woman! Also the intensity of Dr.Mike's workouts elevate my HF
13:55 "You're not helping...!"
I feel you Laura lmao
So many people are too soft to handle a trainer pushing them to their limits. I fricken LOVE seeing how tough she is and willing to be pushed far beyond what is comfortable
She has an absolutely GORGEOUS body! Props to her for the hard work and discipline she has endured to reach such a phenomenal physique.
Both the trainer and the lifter were amazing in this vid! She put the work in and he got the motivation and push for Max effort
I thought I'd like to do this workout, but then you mentioned she's Lithuanian, and so am I, so now I HAVE to do this. Will be thinking about the blood of our enemies 🇱🇹
Go kill it 🇱🇹😁💪🏼
Thanks for everything lately Coach Mike.
She was not ready for this. Good job surviving the workout.
I was expecting it to be hard, but it was BRUTAL🤣🤌🏼
@@stalinkeviciute I bet that's what a lot of people think it's gonna be until Mike goes SLOW SLOW SLOW! BULSHIT, DO ANOTHER ONE 🤣
this has been a very helpful video, i'll for sure will incorporate these exercises in my next leg routine
I wanna be on the channel and I actually will cry!!!
Great information and demonstration as always. Thanks.
Definitely going to be replacing hip thrusts with some of these.
If nothing else, it'll mean that setting up for glutes doesn't take over a half dozen plates any more, lol
I removed the hip thrusts from my glute workout after seeing a video from Dr. Mike explaining about the poor hypertrophic value. I was so hard to set it up!! Sometimes I wonder if we're the crazy ones though, I see all girls doing it!
@@trixbibi right? Of the 5 platforms at my gym, I swear 1-3 of them is being used by women doing hip thrusts on any given day, haha.
Each to their own. It is still rated a good exercise. He says it himself. Seems like people are now bashing the exercise when science shows its effectiveness.
Nooooo! hahaha why! hip thrusts/bridges are your best bang for your buck, deadlifts don't give the same hypertrophic results as hip thrusts/bridges
@@trixbibi Look up Paul Carter, it does not have poor hypertrophic value at all..... quite the opposite
Dr Mike reminds me of the exceptionally good coaches I had when I was young, lesson always is when you do something, do it fkn right! Beautiful stuff Dr Mike, I’m rejuvenated with the Full ROM and constantly in pain from the workouts! If it ain’t hard it ain’t worth it!
"you can cry on camera it's ok. You won't be the first nor last" an excellent line for shows like RP Scientific Training and The Casting Couch.
Insane striations
She actually has the most balanced legs I think I have ever seen on a human.
This might be the most savage video yet. Holy shit what a trooper
I will do this tomorrow and enjoy the pain 😄
Trust me- it will be DEADLYYYYY🤌🏼😂 But this is what we love right?😅
@@stalinkeviciuteit was great 🎉😂
@@tanjakaiser6452 Hahaha, i am sure!! keep killing it😁🤌🏼🤌🏼
Best videos! Been watching for over a year know and have passed you forward to my buddies…
Thx,
Al
If I was doing this with a hoodie on I would pass out
This is so cool.
she looks sickly
damn that description is something else. Love the guide for being non hip thrust based
How hard should you go if you're only a few weeks out?
Only as hard as you know you can recover from for the next workout and not overly stress the body so much that it accumulates excess water. It's definitely a tiptoeing game at that point. - Dr. Mike
That looked BRUTAL! 👏
Now we can find out if I'm the only Lithuanian to watch this channel. Also it's always a treat to watch literally everyone butcher our names lol
LIETUVA! Ziuriu is Vilniaus. Taip, sunku jiems(visam pasauliui) istarti musu pavardes.
kas svarbiausia kažkada visų Indo-Europiečių kalba buvo vienoda :D
Does half latvian count too? 👀
@@TheChosenOne_ Pure breeds only.
@@TheChosenOne_ ofc. I'm simple Lithuanian, I see a Latvian, I support him
Video description is on point
Dr Mike, I noticed in most of these videos there are 3-4 total exercises per session (and sometimes the whole session focuses on one muscle). How is it possible to reach the top end of MRV (e.g. +20 sets/week) on all the other muscles with this amount of exercises and especially if frequency is like twice a week? Or is it because its the beginning of a meso/other muscles or deprioritized? Would love to understand this bit
I think a lot of these videos are really highly trained individuals on gear who are coming in for a peak week workout with a deload coming afterwards. I don't think this is representative of an average training session or an average individual
@@jamesh7469the gear doesn't matter it's just peak week and specialisations most of the time
I think the answer the answer is just that +20 sets per week is NOT the top end of MRV for many muscle groups when you train in the way they train! Jared's MRV for hamstrings is around 7 sets for instance.
@@antoinebonzon6151 that's a great point for me it's funny enough 0 I'll did a light leg day once was so fed up afterwards I couldn't move for 3 days, to be fair I'm cycling (with a bike) around 2-4 hours every day on a high fatigue lv so I'll just can't train legs (they are growing and looking great from The cycling but extra training is just to much) and yes I'll know that isnt optimal for muscle growth but that isn't my goal for legs ;)
A lot of times that much volume isnt needed. Its more like 12-20 anyway on average and often decreases as you get more advanced. For myself after 6 years of consecutive training and the last 4 being RP style most of my mrvs are 8-10 sets per week. Obviously it's on a case by case basis though
Dr. Mike . Today i did this rutine and i'm shaking !!! Thank uu !!!
She needs to bulk for like 5+ years
Heading to the gym and about to try all tips. Thanks!
Just saw the preview and those that sign up to do a session with Dr Mike are in for serious pain.
Doesn't matter what sex someone is...I get so fuckin jazzed up seeing someone work their ass off in the gym. It's so sick how hard she'd push every set. What a lifter.
Do you really want to push this hard so close to a competition? Can you even recover from this while in a near death state before a contest?
Nice I want to try the slow eccentric stuff. She did a great job.
I am pretty sure my wrist is bigger than her thighs lol
