340: Latent Hypertrophy | Looking Best After A Diet - Mike Israetel

[@laurenjackson4314]

If you're not eating a bowl of full ROM-O's inside your Lambo while watching this vid why are you even here?

[@ReviveStronger]

Hahaha, accurate^^ - Pascal

[@urizen2000]

Amazing! Dr. Mike and Dr. James answered my question (about DR. James' experience with latent hypertrophy) about this exact topic in an RP Member's video. I'm SO stoked to watch a long-form discussion on this cause I'm just finishing a cut!

[@ReviveStronger]

Enjoy my man - Steve

[@tazRenegade]

You guys have such good rapport, will always give these a listen 👍

[@ReviveStronger]

Thanks so much - Steve

[@lukeamartins]

I'm reminded of a Morpheus quote. 'What you must learn is that these rules are no different from the rules of a computer system: Some of them can be bent. Others can be broken.' Training "rules" and principles are only reliable to the extent that they subordinate to more robust and fundamental principles. As in physics, so in physiology and training. Wisdom in this case is the ability to recognise weak heuristics, which are usually unconditional (e.g., "more of X is always better") or deontic ("you must never do Y"), and take a nuanced view based on superordinate principles, even if there is no direct empirical literature or consensus, while using personal experience to systematically verify what works best for oneself.

[@coldshivery]

Oh yeah am digging that Morpheus quote. Also everything following it is spot on.

[@ReviveStronger]

Very well said and pretty much agree! - Pascal

[@JuliusCaesar103]

Mike is the coolest guest

[@ReviveStronger]

He is Mr Cool - Steve

[@billycarlile6378]

Perfect timing. I just got to work and started looking for a podcast. Was bout to go to RP for a Q&A but this will be better. Thank you

[@ReviveStronger]

Hope you enjoyed it! - Pascal

[@jackryan5766]

I just finished my diet and meso yesterday. So timely, as usual. I can't wait to dive in!

[@ReviveStronger]

Here we go ;) - Pascal

[@AMLFLA]

@Dr. Mike - I am going on a cruise and stressing about the diet. Needed to hear this about chilling out on cutting and going to maintenance

[@emmang2010]

Another great one. Thanks Steve and Dr Mike

[@ReviveStronger]

Thanks a lot Emma! - Pascal

[@ColeDano]

Glad to hear the ROM conversation, I’ve been going that way in my training for a while as well, I’ve just been getting amazing pumps since not getting hung up on pausing or fully locking the non-stretched position. That, and just letting my tempo be more natural vs artificially slowing reps down.

[@ReviveStronger]

Nice one Cole! - Steve

[@tomwaitsfornoone1182]

I noticed this with calves too, when i do them super strict i don't get much metabolytes, but when i bounce up its burns like crazy.

[@cyclist5000]

@22:10 love all of Mike’s analogies 😂

[@ReviveStronger]

You have to! - Pascal

[@Plumjabiiiify]

Thanks for the upload Steve. Always really insightful and interesting chats with Mike!

[@ReviveStronger]

Thanks a lot for listening! - Pascal

[@EverybodysDarrling]

Such an enjoyable listen this one - thanks guys!

[@ReviveStronger]

Thank you for tuning in! - Steve

26:15 (Fear of stacking fat on during maintenance) - I had this for a while, and I think the problem was that I’d never actually maintained. I’d do well for a few months and make progress, then I’d lose focus and drift back to where I started. It’s easy to get the impression that those are your two options, forward or backward. And I had it rather easy. I’d imagine that fear is worse for those whose lose/gain cycles were more numerous and greater in amplitude, like the ladies who grew up on fashion-magazine diets.

[@ProphetFear]

I will say over and over that barbell high rows with thoracic rounding working tranverse abduction are the best weighted stretch possible on the side delts. It doesn't bother me that I'm the only doing them, you don't win by giving away the secrets anyway.

[@ReviveStronger]

Upright rows are underrated IMO - Steve

[@ProphetFear]

@@ReviveStronger I would say they're appropriately rated. The real diamonds in the rough are Gironda high pulls and tranverse abduction rows. Not everyone wants to go past mainstream.

[@romankoller7150]

No one has better analogies than Dr. Mike 🤣

[@ReviveStronger]

He is good, that's for sure - Pascal

[@bigpicturegains]

Coming more from a health and longevity perspective, even if muscle growth is a bit better with partial range, I don’t want to only be strong in a partial range. Strength seems specific to what is trained, I desire functional muscle. Full ROM is way more functional.

[@ReviveStronger]

For sure depends on your goals - Steve

[@notacrew69]

For the algorithm!

[@emmang2010]

[@ReviveStronger]

Much appreciated! - Pascal

[@dionthomidis]

Greatest fucking analogy ever!! 🤔literally!!

[@ReviveStronger]

Haha glad you enjoyed it - Steve

[@Witchblade112]

Mike & Menno have the most wholesome disagreements.

[@ReviveStronger]

Respect is mutual - Steve

[@yogi5482]

Trying to stay close to failure, that's why they're in my bubble!

[@ReviveStronger]

I hope that's good! - Pascal

[@tomwaitsfornoone1182]

I'm convinced dr mike built skyscrapers in another life.

[@ReviveStronger]

Lol, truth! - Steve

[@yushy5816]

mike for pres

[@ReviveStronger]

He has my vote! - Pascal

[@KenanTurkiye]

The audio is just ear scratching, it's like he's using a kids walkie-talkie under water in a kiddie pool. :/

[@ReviveStronger]

Sorry you felt that way - Steve

[@KenanTurkiye]

@@ReviveStronger Thank you Steve, nevertheless enjoying your efforts in great content and knowledge and as a host you're doing wonderfull with your guests, more good success to you guys (all the team).
