I don't care if he is natty or not, this guy is impressive either way.

[@matthewjones6089]

Yep

[@chrisallen758]

Absolutely

[@Beastking1107]

Exactly

[@Rekt-Training]

He’s grown quite a bit from this video till now. Look at shoulders traps and overall thickness.

[@fakenattypolice8317]

thats what PEDs will do

[@SuccessMindset2180]

1. The weigths are huge in mass 2. Spotter can be helpful for beginners 3. Full range of exercises is key for better technique

Did he just say combinate @ 1:32?

You had me at natural bodybuilder!

[@bigpapaadam1]

I have known a lot of guys over the years that were super super strong and had some good size and were natural. Genetics, discipline, and consistent meal intake have a huge role on their strength and size. With this combination, many with get amazing results even natural. Some guys are just stronger… it is what it is. Most natural guys have to train pretty heavy to gain size like I do.

[@bringitdanny1694]

10 years later he still looks the same. Actually much better at age 51

[@michaelloughrie5519]

His advice is great I just wish he'd be honest about his PED use he's extremely impressive regardless so why not just admit to them.

[@GaeasBlessing]

@TheLeilisa The average height for a pro is 5'5 to 5'10. It's really hard to fill out a larger frame which is why you don't see that many guys over six feet. One thing I've noticed is some guys like Shawn Ray like to lie about their height. Not sure why. It's not like anyone would respect him less for being 5'6 than 5'7 but guys like to lie about their height in general so why should bodybuilders be an exception?

[@XxowendanxX]

That's not the only thing guys lie about

[@whosjohnny1]

If I had to say, he maybe on test. Hes not blown up like Phil Heath. No matter what, Mike O Hearn, looks more natural than any of those competitive body builders. He's probably stronger than the majority of them as well. I love how he works out.

[@ffryan]

I've seen numerous break. Often it's the end cap that snaps off along with the threads. I've ever seen one sheer right off at the handle. Dumbbells are pretty resilient if you drop them straight down. It's when you are dropped at an angle, which is how most weight lifters drop them after a set, that's when they break. It's why you see more makers designing theirs a bit loose so there is some give to the bar.

[@realityfighting]

I do a similar training routine. But not quite exactly how he does it. If you notice he is not constantly going "heavy" the entire workout. Its only for the first working sets. The other sets and exercises are done in the usual 8-10 rep range. If someone asked me, "do you do light or heavy?" Id have to honestly say "Both!". I cant do just one or the other. Numerous heavy sets, and then finish off with numerous light high reps seems to work best for me.

[@basicbodybuilding]

That's the way i go, if it's chest day, then I'm doing heavy low reps of incline first. Then alittle bit higher on Dumbells, then higher reps with machines

[@realityfighting]

@@basicbodybuilding Yeah definitely, so it sounds like your doing also a similar training routine/concept here. Weight training routines can be so individualized per person according to the athlete's specific goals as well. I think this is something that the average gym goer does not quite understand.

[@khristopherbryson8722]

Love this one man's dream is another man's treasure thanks for all you do brother 💯

[@fit4lifept24.7]

@mikeohearn respect, the pb routine has made enabled me to hit my max on squats, deadlifts and bench for the last 6 years in a row 🙌🏼

[@Thesleepwalker00]

He is really inventive with his workouts.

[@m1ghty_angel530]

Thesleepwalker00 yea

[@steveb6718]

and 12 years later, Mike is way bigger and more lean than ever compared to this and still all natural....................................... what?

[@CogitoErgoSum2024]

@ninininjak He does not train to failure. Nor do most powerlifters. It isn't needed if you are getting the volume with many sets.

[@TheVerytiredPerson]

For biceps and triceps its fine. If you want for shoulders you can add in side laterals.

[@theidentity838]

Literally the best intro ever😤

[@BEASTRACING]

Randomly click like i say top tier body in the world i see many of them no one even close to him pure hardwork

[@sbonel3224]

wow people should listen to you more man you seem very smart.

[@noname-eg2gs]

So he’s doing 315 on the incline for sets of five and it’s not a piece a cake. Now seven years later he does 405 for three reps on incline?! In this video there’s no way he could do 405 even once but he’s all natural?! What a joke!

[@DemiGod00023]

That is very true. Thank's for the added input.

[@therealeffect]

so I just have to ask. Is he sure that this program will provide enough training for biceps, triceps and shoulders?

[@MichaelSimmons.]

I've been working out for more years than I want to remember. If you have the right genetics, you can definately get his look. Especially with the type of intense workout that he's promoting. Look at guys like Herchel Walker, or Bo Jackson, With the right genetics, it can be done. Also with the proper diet, think how much better you'll look if you just drop 10lbs. of fat, and replace it with 10lbs. of muscle. Anyone can do that.

[@Manstopper90]

@Manstopper90 What I'm trying to say is that your body has limits that it cannot go beyond naturally and you can train for as many years as you want, you'll never go beyond that limit.

[@Almadanim]

I agree with this aproach. Makes all the sense

[@TheAfroknight]

love this..i'm a fan now of this powerful all natural body builder!!

[@ninininjak]

On How many of the sets would you go to failure ? if you go to failure on alot of them would you risk overtraining ?

[@Jafaku]

I think he said cowbelly, but the y just was without sound. I. e. he means that it's okay to have an arch (arching your back => belly might come out a bit) and we have further evidence of this since he pulls up his shirt a little implying he is talking about whats underneath -> his stomach.

[@Syrpens]

Can someone tell me what in the hell he means at 1:53 when he says “cow bell”

[@TheScrodom]

I was wondering the same thing. I think he means when your chest is so big your shirt doesn't touch your belly, resembling a cowbell.

[@TheScrodom]

Nvm. It's a reference to the SNL more cowbell skit. Will Ferrell's belly starts to show.

[@Syrpens]

Hollly shit lol. I wasn’t even thinking that deep. I thought it was some goofy Bodybuilder term that I didn’t know similar to how they call the triceps “horseshoes”

[@TheScrodom]

Lol Mike likes to toss in some old references here and there to keep you on your toes.

[@dontpanic4295]

Mike is my new weight training inspiration

[@LaybowWoo]

@menz40 Hate to burst your bubble but he isn't natural. You can tell by the density/fullness of the muscle. But either way he's a good guy.

[@Gymrat-1985]

In incline press it shows he's doing 80lbs dumbells and then when he reps it they turn into 100lbs . Then after the reps he puts them down and they are 80lbs again.... I think they added a clip or messed up an edit lol. mike o Hern is a beast for real though !!!!💪

[@AdR1aN43]

from this i guess the split wud be; chest, back, legs, delts n arms heavy dls followed by higher rep excersizes heavy squats followed by higher rep excersizes heavy military presses " " " " cnt wait till it comes out on bb.com on the 15th :)

What does he mean with cowbell?

[@mountiescorner]

It’s been 7 years and I still don’t know.. like maybe your big chest is making your torso look like an upside down bell 🔔??? I have no clue

[@KenCheng]

@ 3:23 THAT, people... is how you finish dumbbell presses. NOT throwing them down

[@Ravi-ut7kk]

disagree power building is more like 4 to 6 rep range. he is doing a traditional bodybuilding rep range

[@IRONMANpirate]

the guy in the background @ 3:28 looks at Mike finish with those huge dumbbells and he looks like he says "to hell with it, Im going home"

[@MichaelSimmons.]

You also get a much better stretch at the bottom of the movement.

[@prince2525160]

Can anyone tell me this...So , does he mean here to press the same weight(the weight started) for each exercise for 5 reps ?? For example , if im incline pressing 100lbs for the first set , i shud do it for the next 4 sets with that weight itself , then for flat db press 60lbs , for remaining 3 sets agian 60 lbs itself ?? If it is like that , how can it make growth , bcoz we should increase weight at each set to increase muscle tension na ??

[@julioeboli]

What movie he stars that's showed in the begining of the video?

[@philamato4794]

what is the song at the start of this video, sounds sick to work out to :D

[@aidanburlingame-lee9154]

Falling by Staind

[@jjjuhg]

I didn't grow much with 15 to 20 reps. Increased the weight and did 5 to 10 reps , each set to failure. Natural. Between 6 to 11 sets per muscle is always enough. All to failure. If not to failure, of course you could do 20 sets plus.

[@JoelP1961]

Do use use a percentage of your max for you sets of five on inclines?

[@abhijit921]

This guy is a monster!

[@snowbird7706]

Smart man good idea to throw in the incline flys

[@JerryHandler]

I rewatched and laughed hysterically for some reason

[@xIVIoNsTeRzZ]

@TheLeilisa Typically between 6'0 and 6'4. They're usually fairly tall guys, but sometimes you'll get a shorty like Hidetada Yamagashi (he's Japanese, so he has an excuse. :P)

Dumbbells use more muscle really. Cause you have to use stablization muscles to blalance and keep the steidy.

[@chiach3]

This guy is a beast.

[@bigbobabc123]

@nardpuncher nobody can pause 315lbs on incline mid rep at the end of their set and speak whilst doing it.

[@Manstopper90]

I don't know if Mike is on steroids or nor. He could be natural. If he says he is, I'll believe him. He obviously has good genetics and flawless diet and training plus lots of supplementation and probably lots of prohomormones. But what really annoys me is when people say you can get even bigger naturally if you train for a long period of time.... come on, you can progress maybe first 5 - 7 years if you're doing everything right, but after that you'll stop growin no matter what you do....

[@AndreiDuduc]

@Veniaminee actually he deosen't look like he's taking roids i have 2 guys in my gym that are natural and they are pretty big

[@AndromedaIX]

love the way he teaches! reminds me of Tony Horton from P90X

yeah, I think it would be more appropriate to ask for Zydrunas Savickas, Vytautas Lalas, Dereck Poundstone, A young Bill Kazmaier, or Benedikt Magnusson to walk in. Those are guys with maximum strength.

[@MetalMeLike]

could be wrong but I think its slang for when your shirt comes up and you can see your stomach lol

[@gearsofwar2112]

Don't get me wrong now. I know everyone lies but I pride myself on taking people's words and giving them the benefit of the doubt. With that, midway through he said "I'm a natural bodybuilder, always have been..." As fans, don't we owe him the respect to believe his words when he says he's natural? Maybe it's just me but until I see a failed drug test or actual admission of use from Mike himself, I am going to take his word.

[@frblaze2]

so phil heath is natural since he hasn't been proven wrong

[@alexanderchamitoff3295]

Nah i agree @JohnRueter Of course he could be lying, but he has none of the visual side effects, and has been training for what? 30 years or something?

[@gatsbylight4766]

*"Owe"* ?! Why would I "owe" anything to Mike OHearn?? If my mind's opinion is that he is not natural, that's perfectly fine. Now, we're not talking about me cancelling Mike's pro card, or fining him for not being natural - without any evidence of a "failed drug test".... because, yes, that would be unfair. But that's the only thing that I could "owe" anybody.
