I’m 54 and have lifted weights my whole life. You have been the BEST at providing advice from a reality standpoint!! You’ve taken the EGO aspect out of your teachings, which keeps it all in perspective! It’s not about lifting harder (aka the most weight possible), it’s lifting smarter (movement and control). Love what you do!!
Great info as usual. You remind me an ex bodybuilder here in my country who always said "train with brain". He used to say similar tips years ago but I ignored it by ego lifting. Years later I realised how useful it would be If i followed his advice. Less injuries and more muscle for sure. Keep more videos coming
ABSOLUTE GOLD: on decline press machine“Keep your shoulders down as if someone is pushing down on them, squeezing elbows”. Felt my chest fire so much better. Thank you Mike 🙏
The content and information you are providing is priceless!! I am grateful and appreciative of all the corrections and micro explanations you share. Some of us are not so young and been through several injuries in life and your method of training solves many of the issues we face in the gym. Keep doing what you’re doing 🙏
Thanks again for another great video it's been about 3 years since the 1st time I saw one of your videos and over the course of that time I've learned so much I had really bad shoulders but following the ques you use has improved them drastically and workouts have off the freaking wall most of my training I did at home and was limited so didn't see much change but just recently joined a gym again and the improvement has been drastic since I have more equipment available so thank you for what you do keep it up love it bro have a great day crazy chest day for me
What lead to the eye issue brother? Sorry to hear. Though Im sure you will treat it like every other injury and just power through. I know I would. Blessings to you my friend, you have given me a lot of confidence to lift light (correctly) again in a sea of ego lifters and Im seeing the best gains of my life!
Mike as always great info. On a totally different topic I'm curious if you have any thoughts on old school Mike Metzner HIT? Training to complete failure w precise movement. Obviously you have to know how to properly move weight before doing this type of training but would love to hear some insight. Personally I've trained well over 25 years & competed on a novice level but but like everyone else was always on the thinking that more was better. I did make what I thought was enormous size gains w that training but it wasn't until I began HIT total failure & beyond that my growth really took off. BTW I'm 55yo now Appreciate your time.. 👍🏼💪🏽
Love these videos Mike, it's great advice even if you don't have mobility issues. Do more videos with beginner/intermediate lifters if possible I find your advice makes more sense, your the man!
this video is for stupid old people like me. It’s good just to be reminded the importance of warming up or even what warming up means, especially a critical joint like shoulders. If whatever joint is sore/don’t feel right even after warming up, screw it, skip that body part/movement for another day.

I'm 48 and have been training my whole life too and I wholeheartedly agree with you!
Agreed.

Great tips and great car analogy re: priming but I have to say my favourite part of this video Mike was your laser shooting tripod glass eyeball.
Man for someone who struggles with chest activation.. this fkin cleared up everything.
I'm 51 and have degenerative disease in both AC joints from years of hockey and lifting . I'm definitely going to try this method .

I watched this right before my chest workout and it worked a treat for some one with bad Shoulder mobility 🙌🏻
Always the correct information sir love it
Shut up and listen class is in session with big mike💪💪💪
That's why I take all his advice,he limited to what he could do, and look at his age first and physique!👍🏾💪🏾💯
Man, that’s some game! Thank you!
cant belive we get this information for free. Thanks alot
At 50 this is some great advice and I will keep listening to it. Like you said, too many just lift, why not build why you are lifting?
Mike as always great info.

Hope everything with your eye improves buddy, a lot of people really appreciate these kinds of videos.
Calistentics , weighted dips , weighted pullups? Whats your thoughts ?
Pretty good advices bro bro
Thanks coach
I'm 60, couldn't agree more
Hey Mike, How do you feel or what are your thoughts on ARX machines or isokenetic machines??
You're comment about waking up after sleeping in bad shoulder position is a nightly struggle.
Wycked wycked. This video energy level seems to be low. Maybe a bad edit. Still informations are gold. 🤘🏽
💯
I just pop a tadalafil and do a few push ups 🙂
😂😂 that’s hilarious
Haha Gold!!!
💪🏾

Not a direct quote but he basically said “train your muscles, not your ego”. Dude…
