I hope you guys understand the difference between exercises that look good on IG, get the views, the likes etc. versus the ones that actually put on the mass. Don't run away from the basics because some 20 year old shredded kid looks good on ig claiming this is how he got the arms...
I know this may or may not be true, but I heard that genetics play a big role in bodybuilding and muscle growth too. I've been ripped but barely have any back or chest muscle and I'm only all core, triceps skinny biceps not wide or firm, and a whole lotta quads. Any advice for getting rock hard muscles, and biceps that have some width to them?
Put out some of the best content on Social media wish more guys my age would understand it’s the ones like you that’ve been around the block that they should be listening to. Thanks for all the great videos.
@@user-qr1qh5pj5i I've been weight lifting 22 years. For the first twelve years I never dieted correctly, and rarely took any protein supplements. I had guys ask me many times, or implied I was using steriods when I had never touched them. I now occasionally use testosterone injections but that's because a blood test confirmed my natural level was too low. However, I was able to raise my natural level to a normal level by taking a daily multivitamin and cleaning up my diet some.
@@spiraldynamics6008 just regular off the sheft from Wal Mart Centrum or either the Men's One-a-Day. I take one every night before bed. Vitamins build up in your body very gradual. It may take several months. I've also noticed other benefits other than a testosterone increase. Like my skin used to get really dry and itch badly in the cooler months. That problem decreased drastically. I also don't get colds as often and when I do, they don't last as long. Don't misunderstand me. Taking vitamins everyday is not going to boost your testosterone to abnormally high levels like the bodybuilders use, but it probably will give most people a slight boost.
There was never never a “secret” way to bigger muscles 💪 just strict basic movements and mind & muscle connection... time...... carry on gym warriors! 🥩⚡️⚡️
Love the "change the mind set" strategy. I did that...told myself I was not going to seek quick results and would simply work out my arms for the pure enjoyment of the journey. My arms have gotten bigger through time as a result of not expecting or constantly looking for fast growth.
You are an inspiration for your dedication to this game. It’s better to be consistent for years at a time then to go all out for a month and then get fed up and move on to something else. You got your head in the game sir!
Love this. I've been consistent and going HARD in the gym for 4 years now and can hang with my buddies who are taking "stuff" no problem. It's all about the hard work and consistency over TIME. Lots and lots of time... thanks for the great training advice!
You're the man!don't let other people bring you down.Steroids or not (i think not)you are one of the hardest working people i know.I appreciate you sir.
The power position is the best! I am an 18 year old bodybuilder and right now primarily only do compound movements and have gotten more results. Thanks for the advice💪🏻
So true! There's no quick fix! Be consistent. Be determined! Do both light-weight burning reps as well as your heavy lower rep strengthening sets. Get the nasty burn and get the heavies as well. It's nice when someone hasn't seen you in 6 months or a year and they notice you've gained size. Your body doesn't change day to day. I love listening to these guys talk.
You think mike is actually knowledgable from an exercise physiology perspective? I’m a student in this field and I assure you, no one in the business of improving athletic performance of hypertrophy trains like this lol. Mike sells an image to make a living, he doesn’t make a living based off of improving others results.
@@ryanhughes9397 since you are spitting so much hate on here and know so much about hypertrophy, mind showing us your natural results. We won't compare you to the juicers , just would like to see a decent natural physique or strength
The man Robby got a great voice. Also I have to admit I have been falling into the “pretty” workouts. I havnt been doing those harder workouts. Thanks Mike
Ive been training 20 years and i still start biceps with cheat curls, cheat curls with bands added now and the bands got me through a sticking point, u cant rush muscle growth its a long journey that u should enjoy, respect from 🇬🇧 uk
Love it when Mike says ( you wanna be one of the greats like me ) lol. Iv been bodybuilding for 12 years and I still learn things from these videos. Great content.
Mike is an OG. Anyone who does anything at an elite level for that amount a time must be emulated and studied. There are no secrets to this game. They’re all out in the open. Now you just gotta put in the work.
OG tips! Mikes inspired me to stay natty, 20 years old, 6’2 225 in decent bodybuilding shape but now my goal is too look good in my 50s and stay healthy and strong
Jonathan Sergei maybe in his later years but I just don’t think u look that epic and are that strong just because of steroids, I think he built an epic foundation
I’m so glad you made this video. My buddy and we’re in a competition to curl 200. But on the path of power curls my biceps got noticeably bigger in a short amount of time. And I’ve never had big arms.
I've always been an advocate of the old school style of training. Big compound movements to build strength. Use that strength to progressively overload my isolation exercises as well. 80-90 percent of my training is free weight old school exercises. Build the foundation, then if u need fine tuning for let's say better bicep peaks, then throw in something specific for that. But ya can't go wrong with compound free weight exercises. Add in super-sets, drop sets, negatives, and cheat reps/sets as u get more experienced.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate all the information that is out there for free like this video. Everyone, stop with all the damn hate. If you dont like it, dont watch it. Be open minded and take what can work for you. If it doesnt work then adapt a different method. Everybody's body is different and respond better with different grips, handling, position, range of motion, etc..
All these people give Mike shit about not been natty but I tell you now train how he does as a natural if you want to actually make gains and reach you genetic limit the guy knows how to train and the more you watch of him the more you will realise he is the real deal , heavy low rep compound moves is the best way to train. And giving him shit about selling supplements but then I bet half of the people doing so are buying Arnold’s mass gainer and rich paina bcaa drink . Mike knows his shit and he only wants to help people show him some respect
Mr. O'Hearn, you're the Einstein of bodybuilding. A person that shares knowledge to the world is the most beautiful person and that's you. By the way, I love the background song Urgent by Foreigner
Respect mike now you droping some good ass facts been telling eveyone the same thing for years who ask about my arms nobody wants to put in the work anymore they want a magic pill to grow
From American Gladiator to playing SUPERMAN, He is the REAL DEAL!! I watched a video where he trains with BATMAN_AWESOME~ You truly are one of a kind Mike.
Great information for young bodybuilders. I myself am a beginner and found this information very useful. Thank you for your valuable information. Focusing on basics rather than imitating some fancy isolation moves without knowing the basic building blocks.
Mike you are a true legend keep doing what you doing all the years and hard working in the gym and your mindset is what makes you look good Listening to you for all you have done and keep doing is a true motivation 👏🙏
Awesome video mike! Thanks for the tips, I have been doing too many isolation exercises and THATS WHY I have no freaking size :( I’m gonna do more of these ones from now on
A beautiful ugliness.... Mike's perspective on stuff is so different. I'll keep what you said in mind and I'll implement them for sure. Thanks man. This is why you're my idol
It amazes me seeing all the shit talkers in here. They never fail to talk that trash and try and hate when I doubt they have even put any hard work in their lives.
Everytime I watch your Videos for instantly I got depressed cuz about The gyms are still closed here in NYC but after I realised that I have The Titan Mike O'Hearn with me. Just chill...
Very heavy cheating curls and very heavy lying tricep presses is what I used back in the 50's and 60's to build big arms. I could do a strict curl with 175 at 195 in a contest. Arnold used to be able to do a single or so with 250 in the cheat curl.
What helped with my bicep, I had injury, rehabbing my bicep I just focused on reverse curl light, and hammer curl after I healed I saw the peak I wanted. Now time to add mass..lol
Good video....that's a fact as you gain experience in the iron addiction there is a subtle ugliness to overloading a muscle.....your pushing the body biomechanically past its threshold which will undoubtedly stimulate the muscles to grow to adapt....
I’ve been working out for whole year now. The nutrition is monumental to the process!!!!! I said it because I do good mon-Fri but comes the weekend is 🍕 and ice cream 🍨. So am not cut!!! Am frustrated but dam I can’t believe how just one or two days of yunk food can hold your progress big time!!!!
Thanks for all the great info mike! You don’t have to share this with us but you do! As someone who applies your training methods and advice thank you so much!
I hope you guys understand the difference between exercises that look good on IG, get the views, the likes etc. versus the ones that actually put on the mass. Don't run away from the basics because some 20 year old shredded kid looks good on ig claiming this is how he got the arms...
Mike it's about Time you Had a full workout video with Heath Evans 💪😈

Put out some of the best content on Social media wish more guys my age would understand it’s the ones like you that’ve been around the block that they should be listening to. Thanks for all the great videos.
You gotta EAT n REST n TRAIN them to GROW!
When Mike drops an arm video...you gotta watch. No question
watch, listen, apply.
Lol why just ask him where he gets his steroids why waste time watching whole video

Is no one gonna talk about how deep that guys voice is
He sounds a like alien from Men In Black lol
Cool 😆
lol that shits funny.
A whisper from Robbie is deeper than Larry's laugh
That “guy” is Robby Robinson, do some research. he’s a legend.
There was never never a “secret” way to bigger muscles 💪 just strict basic movements and mind & muscle connection... time...... carry on gym warriors! 🥩⚡️⚡️
Mike is so unselfish, he always seems to be promoting or pushing somebody other than himself.i love and respect this man.✊
Robby is the man. I love how he always wears sunglasses. One of my favorite bodybuilders. Still at it. Respect.
Love the "change the mind set" strategy. I did that...told myself I was not going to seek quick results and would simply work out my arms for the pure enjoyment of the journey. My arms have gotten bigger through time as a result of not expecting or constantly looking for fast growth.
That voice boost my testosterone levels
Cant wait to watch all of this!! Will CONSUME every SECOND of it!!
Most of beginners are doing almost just biceps and forgot that triceps are bigger part of your arms
Meaning of haters
H-having
A-anger
T-towards
E-everyone
R-reaching
S-success
EXACTLY CORRECT!!!
Or knowing what’s achievable naturally......
What does steroids mean?
Until God judges you on the sea of glass
You are an inspiration for your dedication to this game. It’s better to be consistent for years at a time then to go all out for a month and then get fed up and move on to something else. You got your head in the game sir!
ive seen it over and over...
Love when you go work out with Robby Robinson. Such a legend.
Idc what any one says, Mike and Robby are the GOATS
Yeah dude he has like 4 natural universe titles he’s the goat
Damn right!
Mike was born to lift.....period!
You say they are the GOATS on Steroids
Hmmm
B Hizzle agree with that
Mike is pure gold! Thanks brother! God bless ya! He loves doing this, learn from the master
Everyone needs to watch, listen, and then apply. Can’t listen to these IG “experts” you’ll only get behind
Wow. And what is mike exactly? The blind leading the blind.
Experience can bring wisdom. Thanks mr O'Hearn and Mr Robinson
Love this. I've been consistent and going HARD in the gym for 4 years now and can hang with my buddies who are taking "stuff" no problem. It's all about the hard work and consistency over TIME. Lots and lots of time... thanks for the great training advice!
Robbie sporting the zip up hoodie with a collar somehow all the time. Doesn’t even make sense. What a legend.
You're the man!don't let other people bring you down.Steroids or not (i think not)you are one of the hardest working people i know.I appreciate you sir.
Mike O’Hearn and crew and Mona are the best. Fun and sharing great knowledge. The Titan is a legend, I watched growing up.
No rocking, jerking, etc. straight arm strength!!! 15” bi’s, 13.5” forearms, moving on up💪🏽thanks mike I need you in my life!
The power position is the best! I am an 18 year old bodybuilder and right now primarily only do compound movements and have gotten more results. Thanks for the advice💪🏻
I have been present in the gym when O'hearn work out. Its impressive
So true! There's no quick fix! Be consistent. Be determined! Do both light-weight burning reps as well as your heavy lower rep strengthening sets. Get the nasty burn and get the heavies as well.

So much knowledge and information
Knowledge and information 🤦♂️

I'm not a huge fan of fake natty Mike O'Tren, but this video, unlike his natty status, is legit.
BASICS ARE THE BEST ROAD TO STRENGTH
Listen to Mike and Robbie, build your foundation first guys 💪🏼
One word, consistency !
This is perfect advice stick with the basic movements the meat and potatoes to get the size.
The guy with the glasses sounds like apocalypse lol
That guy is the black prince u fucking muppet
the guy is legend asswipe

Jonathan Sergei maybe in his later years but I just don’t think u look that epic and are that strong just because of steroids, I think he built an epic foundation
@@SeanWalsh1 No doubt the guy is a fuckin savage and looks amazing but it would be foolish to assume you could get to that level natural.
sean walsh Hes been on steroids since his mid teens, still it doesn’t take anything away from his hard work.
Great to see the living legend Robbie Robinson!! Lots of respect from Australia
I’m so glad you made this video. My buddy and we’re in a competition to curl 200. But on the path of power curls my biceps got noticeably bigger in a short amount of time. And I’ve never had big arms.

PLEASE keep up the content with Robbie! quality information & I've watched countless videos of him & his voice never ceases to amaze me. 😂
Great information for young bodybuilders. I myself am a beginner and found this information very useful. Thank you for your valuable information. Focusing on basics rather than imitating some fancy isolation moves without knowing the basic building blocks.
One of the best bodybuilder with lots of knowledge but hated by lots of people.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a trend "if it makes sense dont do it" .
Love when Mike talks to ET
Can agree ! I literally started programming a 5 by 5 heavy asf on barbell curls when I first started. You need the volume / tonnage for growth !
Thanks guys for the daily motivation. 58 yoa, staying strong.
Mike you are a true legend keep doing what you doing all the years and hard working in the gym and your mindset is what makes you look good Listening to you for all you have done and keep doing is a true motivation 👏🙏
I would love to meet this man! He is by far the real deal!!!
Great Advice, the building blocks..
Thanks Mike for all your Great Post .. I love all the content you provided. ..
thanks
Wow someone that doesn’t chat shit this is amazing 🙏🏼
Awesome video mike! Thanks for the tips, I have been doing too many isolation exercises and THATS WHY I have no freaking size :( I’m gonna do more of these ones from now on
This guy is the master at coherent dribble
Man I wish I could workout with Mike just one time. I Would get the best workout ever.
I would love a series where Mike just drops in on peoples IG videos like that “ok.....now here’s how you really do it”
its all about the fundamentals, thanks Mike
A beautiful ugliness.... Mike's perspective on stuff is so different. I'll keep what you said in mind and I'll implement them for sure. Thanks man. This is why you're my idol
Thank you guys much love.
You are legend man... Respect
how to gain size on your arms without steroids is the question
Best tip ever Mike, Test and GH😉
If you really want to grow, you listen to this master - having been around for 40 years or so. Master x 2, it should be noted!
It amazes me seeing all the shit talkers in here. They never fail to talk that trash and try and hate when I doubt they have even put any hard work in their lives.
Mike is a giant , I didn’t realise how tall he is . Robbies voice is deeper than vin diesel 😳

Q: why yur arms doesn't grow?
A: we don't take roids.

Up the dose, enough said, right Mike?
