Mike israetel is easily my favorite person in fitness. Listening to him speak teaches me about training and motivates me to train harder with more volume. Thanks for the good work Mike and Steve

[@ReviveStronger]

Thanks for the support mate and I totally feel the same :)

[@RewDowns]

My worst fear as a natty lifter is leaving gains on the table

[@markdelej]

Sometimes i wish i could leave gains on the table. My arms are too big and chest and legs too big. I want to stop growing. I do 3 bicep curls and just grow its so annoying.

[@DiskoKDiskoL]

@Tim Hanselbach you too? I always thought I'm the only one cursed with that

[@suhwateezea.214]

Lol

[@jsmithes]

Praise the hypertrophy gods

[@threethrushes]

[@ReviveStronger]

[@johnsortais2471]

Love all the q&a with mike Israetel. My favorite ones to listen to. Better than audio books!

[@ReviveStronger]

And there are lots for you ;)

[@johnsortais2471]

Revive Stronger Yes! It’s fantastic! Your channel is a Gold mine and I’m so happy I stumbled upon it! Thank you for the awesome content!

[@jeroenf1848]

Absolutely priceless info on female training methodology, thanks! I wish there would be more on that issue.

[@ReviveStronger]

Thanks for listening to many episodes over the past days Jeroen :) - Pascal

[@SSSJC]

Great Content as always!

Glad you think so, thanks for watching! - Coach Jess

[@DJcs187]

[@nickangelovski4358]

Mike is king!

[@ReviveStronger]

He is! - Pascal

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Good vid. Mike rules.

[@ReviveStronger]

Mike is a save bet - Pascal

[@barbarianna6216]

Fantastic as always!! Thanks for touching on the female athlete 😊

[@ReviveStronger]

Shaaaaari, hehehe

[@Soulshineranch]

loving these QnA with dr mike ... he makes me laugh more than any fuckin comedian lol...and i get jacked

[@ReviveStronger]

Man, you can't imagine of how often I laugh by myself when listening to his stuff :D

[@user-qb4eb8vq5u]

As a female, even though the period goes away..I unfortunately, still experience all the other changes (mood changes, bloat, water retention, strength loss) slightly less severely, but it still happens. Just wanted to mention that since it can still be an issue for females even if their period stops.

[@ReviveStronger]

Absolutely, amenorrhea has mostly to do with hormones where's all the other things you've mentioned aren't purely based on hormone levels.

[@djmileski]

Your the best Mike

[@ReviveStronger]

He is! I agree!

[@tristans907]

You have far too few followers for the quality of guests you have. Awesome channel dude.

[@allanlaubeau2462]

Excellent ! Learnt so much as always, thank you !

[@ReviveStronger]

Thanks and this is why we're doing it :)

[@kingdavey87]

Damn, nice video, great info here!

[@ReviveStronger]

Thanks buddy!

[@naskrajuciszy]

it kinda feels like it's a response to lyle's raging posts about mike's weight gain recommendations.

[@ReviveStronger]

Nah, Mike isn't like that :)

[@kamilzajac9938]

I AM watching IT like third time or something

[@ReviveStronger]

THAT is THE way! - Pascal

[@chrisbrydon3438]

Same!

[@segason6]

The facepalm at 20:40 lol

[@ReviveStronger]

Hehe, Mike is simply the man

[@traingear9578]

"that shit is not sold at stores" .. actually my local walmart is where i pick up my insulin over the counter

[@ReviveStronger]

Hahaha, amazing

[@kaycee5031]

Methyl test, are you talking about MENT?

[@torbit]

Big thanks for the female training tips

[@ReviveStronger]

As mentioned, more to come soon ;) - Pascal

[@iloveallparties]

Please find a way to get Lyle McD back on... thanks

[@justinsmith542]

Yeah I agree Lyle is great value... it's funny though, I suspect the interviewers would save themselves some frustration if they just fired a starters pistol and yelled 'go' lol

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

Justin Smith lol I notice that too. Lyle is like a hurricane of info and he moves through topics himself

[@ReviveStronger]

Totally agree!

[@ReviveStronger]

We're working on it ;)

[@gamerchristina1079]

💪💪❤️❤️‼️

[@ReviveStronger]

Thank you! - Coach Jess

[@lobster353]

How long should a massing phase last before minicutting ?

[@ReviveStronger]

There's no "should". As long as you feel comfortable and still make reasonable progress.

[@lobster353]

Revive Stronger ya but whats the minimum for a beginner that you would recommend ?

[@adityawakhle]

Ziisis HyY Somewhat of a rough guideline: in the video Mike recommends not going beyond the point where you can no longer see your abs.

[@nqmame1988]

Usually a 4 to 1 design is used. Depends on fat level and training level.

[@traingear9578]

One of the reasons women respond well and can handle more frequency then men is the lower strength and testosterone levels. A man generally produces way more homeostatic stress in his workouts then a woman and thus needs more rest. example, a man benching 405 for 5 sets of 6 reps is way more volume and stress in a single session then a. woman benching 135 for 5 sets of 6 reps . the woman can hit bench again two days later cause her volume (weight accounted) is actually much less then the mans (even though reps and sets were the same). Due to strength and higher testosterone levels his volume is much higher because of high poundages of weight being pushed.

[@ReviveStronger]

That's true :)

[@kaydrummond7007]

Also because women have much more estrogen which is actually very anabolic and anti catabolic contrary to popular belief.

[@RandoBox]

What kind of coaching does Mike get from Broderick?

[@ReviveStronger]

About his special sports supplements - Pascal

[@TheMr0450]

Steve .. the best reading source for knowledge on the dark side?

[@ReviveStronger]

Contact Dr Broderick Chavez :) - Coach Jess

[@joshwilliams6517]

43:36 lmao

[@ReviveStronger]

Hahaha

[@FunnyFlirtTalks]

Why do females recover faster is it because they’re producing smaller loads or does estrogen have help with recovery?

[@ReviveStronger]

One aspect of it, yes

[@dandypants1983]

I think another aspect is the fact that they generally don't have as much muscle mass. Smaller muscles require less recovery time. Maybe that's an oversimplified theory. I'm not a doctor. Lol

[@FunnyFlirtTalks]

Danakin Skywalk3r hence my first statement they’re exerting smaller loads.

[@dbsllama6042]

Savage Boi those are two different statements, both are true, your statement does not include the other one

[@greatsea1457]

Abs are made in the kitchen - Socrates?

[@ReviveStronger]

Haha aren't they indeed?! Thanks for watching! - Coach Jess

[@pelataan69]
