This are the type of videos from back in the day, mike has been excellent in explaining how you can get in shape.
Keep in mind he’s one of the best experts out there before he was an “influencer”.
So if you want real advice no bs follow mike he’s the real deal in this industry 👍🏻
Fantastic video and perfect visualization of the process. Thanks
Great video Mike, really useful information. It would indeed be great if you would do a video explaining how to cycle effectively between, bulking, cutting and maintenance phases.
have you looked at carb cycling ?
Definitely
Have you looked at steroids? It's what all these youtuber body builders are using
Love the vid especially the wacky humour. The bits of funny are what make your vids a must watch for me. A step-by-step "idiot's" guide to bulking, cutting and maintenance, and main-gaining if there is even such a thing would be awesome. Ta Mike!
U know its a good day when the walking chest uploads
this is how you rate your day?
Underrated comment..
I can't believe I got this for free, thank you Mike, this is exactly what I need. The PT I have seen so far have just took me on a ride, not once have they broke it down for me even when I paid for their service, you are the MAN!!
This is by far the best video you’ve ever made! I watch you a lot and this has cleared so much for me and helped me! Please make another with more on the bulk, cut and maintain phase!
Really?
Mike thank you ,im 57 years old and i won’t stop working out because of your positive words numero 1#
Yeah man - make sure you don't stop compound exercises
Love this type of upload. Thank you
Brilliant video Mike and very simple methodology! I really like the spreadsheet meal tracking. Is this something that could be shared or even purchased for a variety of good meal recipe ideas?
You're an awesome dude Mike, great video again.
Great video Mike, appreciate you sharing your knowledge
Nice informative video Mike. Regardless of individual goals if you want to be natural or not fundamentally the calories and diet is the most important aspect. I can easily train but the food thing is hard to stick too.
Great video Mike
mike has literally become one of my instructors in this gym life
he's the og
He is why i set up my YT fitness channel !
Awesome video
We need part 2 mike . Lets go
This came out in perfect time 🔥
Pumping out that high quality info
Saw you on a Ritz beach the other day. Looking good ☝
You know when Mike whips his whiteboard out. We're in for a treat.
Thank you Mike!, i liked your advice 👍👍👍
Another good video mike
more videos like this mikeyyy, start seeing comments and ignore the negative natty comments and educates more:). there are lot of people like me who got benefited from your advice.
Temptation is to go super low carb and low calorie...especially after Christmas...which is OK in the short-term but not sustainable...great advice Mike!
A cycling video for bulk, cut and maintenance would be very useful to understand this approach. Would be good to relate it to the typical periods when people want to look leanest and put on size and when to start these phases. IE leaner for summer and put on size in winter
He's a roid head. Video over
I’d love to know about cycles too… Thanks for breaking it down Mike.❤
I want to know more about cycles in bodybuilding so yes Mike. Please make a video
It’s just me, but, at almost 50, I’ve never counted, weighed, or tracked anything that I eat. At all. I eat reasonably healthy. Everything in moderation. Have trained consistently getting compliments about how I look for my age with people thinking I look 10-15 years younger regularly. I’ve never had a six-pack.
Just my two cents.
Sounds like you have a lot of those things from the last board sorted. Keep up the good work 👍 I myself am a very thin guy and generally not overly interested in food so it's lent itself to having a good starting point. I'm now putting on decent weight of the good kind after ramping up the food. I didn't realise how much I needed to get down me to consistently put mass on
Super Video as allways
Such a good video, even for us girls (just different numbers apply)! Thank you.
Nice one Mike. Plain common sense approaches to dieting. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
Hello from California. Great lifestyles videos, Mr. Michael Thurston. Happy new year from our channel* Australian Parakeets Stars
Definitely would like the cycling video!
Thanks uncle Mike!
Hey Mike thanks for the knowledge. My main goal is getting a six pack of ive been cutting and lifting/cardio for a year and half now and have gotten very lean now but abs are still barely peeking, a lot of progress though since the last year. I dont want to bulk or over eat because I want my abs to come in but i also want out on more muscle. What do you recommend?
have you tried hanging leg raises ? you have to do them slow, Also look into l-carnitine to help shift some of that stubborn fat. i did a video on that
41years old, 3 kids, aged 7, 5 & 3, a wife thats lost interest in me! I could never be more motivated to keep in shape. Never tracked calories in my life. Consumed food in sensible moderation. I dont eat fast food. I limit my sugar intake an have never drank alcohol in my life. I should be ripped AF, but im not. Im just happy to work out as much as i can. Mike, you're a Top Man ❤❤❤
41 and never drank? Tf
Yep let’s hear more Mr T 👍🏻
t for testorone?
Thank you Mike:)
Hey Mike,
What about sleep/rest for recovery etc.?
Can I do three full body workouts a week and transform my physique this way?
I’ve cut out chocolate for 3 weeks now and have almost forgotten about it. Feels great and weight is slowly coming off
Natty or not who cares. Guy looks unreal and is dedicated to the sport and trying to help people but still people always try to find the negatives. Keep doing you mike n fuck the haters 💯 💪

You are missing the point.
Can you not appreciate the disconnect between the way Mike looks and what he preaches. The impression given is that he looks the way he does because of weight training and diet and its simply false.
You have to employe critical thinking in this age of social media otherwise you are going to get duped, left, right and centre.
@@andypicken7848 it's not false. He is a genetic freak, look at his body when he was 12 years old. He has less fat on his skin so his muscles have good definition (which also has negative drawbacks BTW). Mike's mate was always accused of being a fake but he did the blood tests etc n proved he wasn't. If he was legit Mike can easily be too.
Mike please do a video about training for symmetry
Mike do a how to bulkl video please! it would help a lot! I ve been strugeling for a while now to gain weight.
Eat more
At 45 i was as 'fit' as I've ever been - 13 stone solid lean cut captain of a winning 7s team in a national 7s - but 10 years later I'm 2.5 stone over and fat as a large piglet....v tough last 2 years in particular and as a rugby player, after a achilles injury totally lost motivation and my business failed then dad died....so watching Chesty Morgan is a great help....thanks mate.
Body goals!!❤🤩😍🤤🙏
Where can you get a spreadsheet like that from? That's immense.
Step 1: fix calorie intake and gradually increase to health levels of 2500 for the first 5 weeks.
Step 2: increase cardio and gradually decrease overall cal expenditure to cut weight?
Heeeeyyyyyy Mikey T in da HOUSE !
Skinny fat for me was too much and cardio and too restrictive with eating. Started lifting using push pull and eating more. Started to get really lean after 90 days
As I’m 70kg what would be the caloric numbers you recommend?
Bulking, cutting and maintaining video would be great please!
def do a further vid.
Is this gonna work?
Mike, when you say add 200 calories, do you mean per week or per day?
If I weigh 70kg then should I also gradually build up to eating 2.5k calories per day?
yes
I used to do bro split at the gym when I first started going but then bcuz of change of schedules I changed to PPL. Though it was more convenient I felt like I was losing muscles overall because I was kinda tiring my body so much in one day and me being slim I didn’t have that much reserve to take from other than my muscles.
Great upload Mikey
@Mike Thurston Where can I get a spreadsheet like yours Mike
Curious, would 2 full body workouts a week be enough to keep/put on muscle if diet is on point?
Theoretically if you were doing enough volume but it'd be far from optimal for gaining
bertiehart5173
Its more than enough for most. If you are natural you will not be able to weight train intensley more than twice per week
@@andypicken7848 That is absolute bs. You'll gain f*ck all as a natty training x2 a week. This why most ppl stay small because they follow bs programs. Only reason you should ever do x2 per week is if you're either 55+ yrs old or literally training like Tom Platz or Dorian Yates and pushing your body to the absolute limit. In reality, only a miniscule number of people have the mental capacity to push their training that far and if you do you're risking unnecessary injury.
My g mikey T
Mike can you do a video about the supplements. After 9-5 jobI’m always tired to go to the gym . I need to break this teach me how
‘The supplements’ 💉 😂
My current meals:
Breakfast: 3 whole organic eggs with carrots and swede (yes) and 3 scoops of Irish oats with Soya milk. Very filling.
Lunch: Chicken breast, rice and half a medium or large Avocado
Snack: 2 spoons of coca peanut butter and large banana
Evening: Salmon, roast potatoes, or rice.
Snack: 2 spoons of peanut butter with no added sugar and banana
No protein drinks I don't think it's necessary for me. And I don't track calories.
boring
Protein shakes are full of so much crap. Highly processed. They’re simply not healthy!
Fatty

I got fed better in prison
Soy boy
Come to Australia mate we have the best beaches
Have you ever Balanced your calories and diet plan with natural and organic foods while you grow your muscle.
Much Respect Mike From orange county.....we need to collaborate my friend......
Does that mean 2100 calories eating only healthy food? or can i mix it up with unhealthy things?
Do you ever run? or only walk?
Can you tell what kind of ur haircut is? I like it
I’m running 300 Test E and 20ml Var and its working well
First photo is actually a good physique your one is enhanced stop warping people's expectations.
Are they your t shirts ?
Can you tell me what brand of t-shirt you're wearing? Looks great!.. But I would definitely wear that chain on the inside otherwise you look too disco..
What brand is that white t shirt 👕???
MAKE A VIDEO ON BULKING VS CUTTING VS GAINTAINING
anyone that is clued in with tracking macros and are already their or further than others in their physique journey.. please answer me this question..
dirty bulk days.. idk, once a sunday every week or month, to eat what ever you want so that eating clean every day isnt as much of a struggle.
is this something that can effect gains or is it not recommended at all?
cheers to whoever responds 🍻
I don’t get it so after 5 weeks ya on 2,500 cals....so at week 52 I’m on a crazy amount of cals
What if you have acne and you have to eat dairy foods ?
I want to know more with bulk. Cutting . Best foods to eat
Never give up the cake
Does mike ever comment or give advice back to any questions from viewers in this section??or do you have to pay for that
I guess he doesn't
if you increased the protein you may find even better results, as Protein is more satiating and your body uses more energy to process it. A recent study of increased protein to 3x your body weight in grams showed more muscle mass and a leaner physique while on a slight deficit. Thermodynamics of increased protein shows nit not all sources of Macros calories as being equal. Its not as simple as calorie in calorie out. Protein can also play a great role in metabolism and energy expenditure of your body.
BS, absolute nonsense.
@@inferno4419 its fact fat boy
Where are your sources from? Increasing protein to x3 your body weight is insane, even x2 is excessive. Your information is most definitely not from a reputable source.
@@MR12AMAZING search google for 3 x protein study.
@@MR12AMAZING Here since your too lazy to search yourself and think im making things up.

Mike, we definitely want to know more about the cycling of the periods. Please tell us more.
im not even skinny fat but i still watch anyway
Rewatching just to hear Mike swear when the whiteboard doesn't stand up correctly 🤣
What's on Mike's wrist? It looks cool. At first I thought "I want that watch", but upon closer look, it might not be a watch...?
Whoop
@@nattygains2955 Thank you!
The thumbnail killed me lmao
thats a great advice but it takes a lot more time, naturally training for at least 5 -10 years to see solid muscle, thats only my opinion, good video bro, keep up the good work!
Lmao no it doesn't your biggest 60% of all gains you will ever make are in the first 1 to 2 years, every year after that is a tiny incremental difference, after 5 years you won't even be making any real gains. 8 years to see a difference, lmao wtf
@@Infern0121 I didnt say difference, I said solid muscle, go watch pro natural athletes, how many years they were training to get that physique.
@@Infern0121 maybe if you have low T 😹😹🚨
use the juice.
Tremble alone

Cycling video for bulk and cut
OK, so here's what I did over the last couple of weeks...I was on a low calorie intake per day (1,800) to try to get rid of that bloomin' belly fat. I'm 14st 12lbs. For weeks that weight has been up and down a couple lbs in either direction.
So I increased those calories to about 1900 per day, my weight training didn't change and my exercise didn't change but I put weight on, about 5 lbs.
I'm worried if I keep up increasing my calories to over 2000, I'll pack on even more weight. I didn't notice a change in my body shape, in fact, I felt and noticed my stomach was bigger.
I'm 55 yrs and I'm kind of happy with the my shape...I've been training for about 6 years and without sounding like a right big head, my shape is quite good, I've got all the lumps n bumps in the right places...but it's just my stomach where those lumps n bumps appear when I increase my calories....Breathing in all day isn't doing me any good LOL!!!
Any ideas you healthy lot?!
I'd say if your eating mostly carbs for those extra 100 calories you eat it will just be water weight. Either up your steps/cardio duration or drop cals by 50 then leave it a week or so and access... if no movement on the scale drop by another 50 as long as your protein intake is sufficient you wont lose muscle. It just takes alot longer than you think losing that last bit... in the end you will be sick of dieting hence most cant maintain it as your cals will be very low.
Thanks Peter. It's a right game this weight stuff, eh.
I wanna lose the belly blubber so I cut right down for weeks and still I stay the same, I eat less, train hard and do daily cardio.
So I increase slightly and I look like I'm smuggling a wok under my T shirt 😂😂😂😂😂
I'll just need to play around with my calories and cardio.... You're right though, this isn't an overnight thing is it!
@@georgegeorgiou2915 It is... Especially if your not enhanced in anyway you wont hold as much muscle as enhanced lifters will... the only way to get the scale to move is to lower your calories further or increase the cardio duration... and give it more time... like i said when you get there you will be surprised at how low your calories will be... if you want that really low body fat... i'm 5ft 6 and had to diet from 15 stone to 10 stone just to see my abs and even then i still had fat in places... my calories at the end of my diet where 1500 cals mostly eating protein and fats with some carbs too. Everyone is different so you might not have to go that far. Good Luck!
I'm an average dude weighing 76.3kg, been trying to bulk eating 3500+ calories a day and haven't moved the scale in weeks. Some guidelines obviously vary massively person to person
Surely you have your macros wrong. No chance are you eating over 3500 calories and not gaining weight at 76.3kg unless you're doing some extreme sports, it makes no sense. You literally eat more than Mike.
Tell me bout cycling MikeT
Let’s cycle 🚴🏻
love how a guy that could spend this time on making bank, he chooses to make videos to help people get in shape
Could you do the same plan for someone who drinks 25 pints of beer per week?
Add an hour of running everyday
Don’t drink the beer
@@slothniel8881 suits you sir 🍺
@@slothniel8881 Iv actually been running 3 times a week 5km, with weight training 4 times a week just hitting top half twice per week I get in the exercise bike every other day I’m not running and even with my poor drinking habit, (I own a pub restaurant) no excuse I know but hey ho, I like beer. On a positive I’m making decent gains and losing fat at the same time with a very strict diet. I’ll never look like Mike but I’m not trying to. 🍺🍺😎😎
Cycling video would be perfect bro
