Mike is such a good speaker. I have heard him say everything at least 3 times but never get bored of listening to him!

[@Chaosdude341]

Yes! I wouldn't have known to say it like that, but that's 1,000,000% true.

[@ChefBlairSilva]

I don’t know which is more astounding -the fact that all of this information is just floating around Mike’s head or the fact that we have nearly unlimited access to it at the click of a button. Excellent work gents.

[@Vintage_geek]

Whether you like them personally or not, the amount of actionable info that Dr. Mike, Menno Henselmans, Jeff Nippard, Dr Pak, Milo Wolf and a few others put out for free is just amazing. Not to mention that, as good practictioners of science, they also have no issues to talk about what they got wrong and why, and why they improved their perspectives on any given point. ❤

[@CrashMetaReligion1996]

Mike always has really good analogies for everything. Dude is also funny as hell and very knowledgeable

He's a brilliant guy who knows his shit so well he can explain it to the average person. This is a fucking super power. There's far too many people who are the opposite, they're dumb fucks who 'talk science' to build credibility.

[@FreshTopEnd]

That is very calculated and intentional for social media entertainment purposes none of his videos from a few years ago were presented this way. That being said I enjoy it was well 😌

[@deltaalpha74]

I love these Table Talk sessions because Dave knows how to listen to his guests and interject and guide the conversation just enough. Makes for incredible interviews.

[@mattearly3429]

Excellent episode. Dave’s skill at keeping on topic while allowing for conversations to go places that were originally unintended is exceptional. I hope to see Dr. Mike back again.

[@jdata]

I really enjoyed Mike's take on "most people just want you to succeed" when it comes to family and friends being skeptical about career choices. It's true that most of the time the concerns our loved ones have come from a good place. However, their concerns are really their problem. If you're passionate about something and have done your due diligence on researching your options in life....take that risk and pursue what you feel can give you an amazing and fulfilling life.

[@dylanwarner3041]

I love Mike's comments on problem solving and engineering. I feel that to my core. As an engineer, the problem solving and learning for lifting has always made sense to me. It's the nutrition thing I can't solve for, likely, multiple reasons.

[@Wetterwet]

Sometimes dreams come true. I have read just about everything RP puts out. RP diet 2.0 and the scientific principles of hypertrophy book for the win! RP has completely changed me approach to training and how I approach training others.

[@JuicyOcelot]

All I can say is wow! This isn't the content i ever expected to see. Freaking awesome. I wrote this before watching the video.

[@jebwaldoharrilal]

Agreed! What a collab!

Seems rather stupid to praise something before seeing it.

You can’t help but love Dr Mike. He’s such a laid back guy with an incredible amount of knowledge and experience, plus he has a great sense of humor.

[@zbronstein3901]

Wow! Please have Dr. Mike on again! Such an informative podcast; It gave a better understanding of how I should be structuring my training as a novice lifter and I think it will allow me to enjoy the process considerably more (focusing less on the weight and more on getting a proper stimulus with ideal form. Also there is so much more conversation that could have been had. Dr Mike didn't talk about nutrition at all! This could have been an 8 hour podcast and I would have listened to all of it.

[@Inzane8]

He has a ton of videos about nutrition on the RP KZbin channel. Def worth the watch

[@Wetterwet]

Less is more !

[@Eplemos4Life]

Search for renesaince periodization on youtube. Ur welcome

[@Tonali211]

Read his book 'the scientific principles of strength training', it'll be a game changer as a novice in regard to learning how to properly structure training.

[@emmang2010]

Guys literally amazing. Just follow RP at this point. Best fitness channel on any form of social media

[@AndJusTIceForRob]

Two of my favorite lifting knowledge-givers getting together. And each bringing a different perspective to the table. I always have questions about both of their approaches, and putting them at the same table has helped clarify A LOT. Thanks!

[@artv4nd3l4y]

Love Dave's content, makes perfect sense to talk with Mike.

[@eliteftsofficial]

such a great combo

[@artv4nd3l4y]

@@eliteftsofficial Indeed, I've also been getting into the JM Blakely content lately. I also watched the videos on using chains and they were really helpful for making my own. You guys are a rare breed seriously, I learn a great deal from you all keep up the great content.

[@BigFreak52]

Mike’s a great guy to get his point across. Knowledgable with the academic and physique/experience to back it up partnered with a great sense of humor

[@nathannielsen8061]

Fantastic dialog, I always love watching Dr. Mike when he can explain stuff freely and without barriers.

[@bigpicturegains]

Recently reached 200 lbs and pretty lean compared to the average individual. I give a lot of credit to Dr Mike for helping my training become more optimal. I keep packing on muscle 💪

[@Raulb6728]

I never knew this background info about Mike and I was always curious, so glad he was so open. I personally feel he could also be a great comedian. Loved this podcast.

[@Fluggrugger1]

Definitely one of my favorite episodes. Mike is great and speaks the unfiltered truth on everything 🙌 It’s absurd this content is not more popular because it’s top notch.

[@eliteftsofficial]

That is very much appreciated🤘

[@cameronbatko]

Podcast so long I had to stop watching so I could go workout. Can’t wait to finish it. Best season! If you want to support people you can join the team via Glow!

[@faggianogeuiseppi5135]

Dr. Mike, it’s great to listen to you. Dude is so much smarter then everybody lol

[@charliehaskell1926]

What an absolutely amazing collaboration. Best Tabletalk in a while.

[@salvatoredivencenzo2046]

I’ve watched this episode so many times, Mike drops so many gems I have to rewatch every couple months

[@randmgenericname5077]

Anything that goes unnoticed for the normal person drop here

[@AppalachianAnglingAdventures]

I relate to Mike so much when it comes to getting into lifting. I started because of football, but year after year my interest for football decreased as my interest for lifting increased.

[@bobboberson6664]

This made me love Dr Mike even more

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

Brilliant conversation! Absolutely some of the best information available. Another great interview.

[@mikereynolds2313]

Always been a huge fan of dr mike but after listening to the beginning of this podcast and where he came I've gone from fan to someone to look up to

[@TheArizonaRanger.]

Dr. Mike is awesome. Another guest that would be a gift to the community would be Dr. Andy Galpin. Both him and Mike are wizards of the fitness community.

[@broscons6415]

I love Dr Mike so much, very knowledgeable very easy to understand and his journey coming to the states is very inspiring, especially to me as a Greek who wants to get out of my country.

[@Snap_Crackle_Pop_Grock]

Killing it with these guests

[@Psilocin-City]

Mike is a gift to the fitness world, the GOAT in my honest opinion. I think he deserves a head at the fitness Rushmore

[@azulsimmons1040]

Cool. Greg Nuckols to Mike I. Some of the OGs of evidence based fitness on my favorite Meathead Podcast. I did not realize Dave and Mike knew each other.

[@drewstein5403]

Dr Mike is one of the best in the game. A great pod Dave 👍🏻

[@Chaosdude341]

Thank you for this interview, Dave. I read a lot of your articles while I was in the Navy, and you actually helped me to find Dan John! And I know you know what a game changer that is. Keep up the great work, and stay healthy! You're a monolith in the community, and I want you to outlive Ozzy :)

[@BrianDBacon]

Being from San Antonio tx I cannot even begin to understand how any gym ever needs to be heated.. of course I’m that douchebag of saying duurrrrrrr it’s so hot here yall have no idea what’s going. But Truly wanted to come in to the comment section to thank these two amazing humans for having this conversation Both gentleman are so fully related to any chance I had at becoming bigger stronger leaner faster and I couldn’t have done it without them and this free platform. So incredibly satisfied with the content and I just wish it never stopped. Love everyone on here. Best of luck to all of you and I hope to meet you soon. Puro pinche San Antonio, tx

[@LeeH3nson]

Plan on listening through Spotify, just stopping in here for algorithmic reasons

[@SerratusAnterior]

I think this single video taught me the most about how I should go on with my training this year

[@Fletch_and1]

Epic episode! Maybe the best I’ve seen with Mike

[@fastingfrugivore]

Terrific conversation this ! Thank You Dave n Mike !! On On !!

[@brandongreen5884]

In reading Chinese Weightlifting Technical Mastery and Training the section that talks about bodybuilding states the goal is to have a "smooth" eccentric and "explosive" concentric when executing "bodybuilding" movements! do you happen to agree with this?
