4:09 into this video, Mike, your Harp looks like a Violin. How dare you :P lol

[@itsmyboardwhotalk]

Sled work: When I was younger I played on a pretty high level football (the real one, not the one where a "ball" barely touches the foot ;) and we did something like sled pushes almost every week. Bc of injuries I had to stop playing and stopped doing sled pushes. I still was able to go to the gym and doing that since 10+ years and did my squads and lunges etc. My muscles grew and I got stronger on the exercises in the gym, but my atheltic abilites decreased. With 19 I was running 100m in 11,1 second and on a good day I could dunk. I couldnt do that for a long time. Then I started to integrate seld work into my workouts and now I got a lot of this explosive power back, not like with 19, but pretty pretty close. Thats why I cant understand, why Mike hates the sled work so much. Would be nice to have a video about it, especially in comparison to kneesovertoe (who also trains top athletes), bc like that I have the feeling, that a great exercise is doomed not because its a necessarily bad exercise but bc Mike wants to hate hollywood. or maybe Im completely wrong and its just a strange correlation.

[@SuperRaceCarBoy]

8:51 I nerded out on isometrics for a while. isometrics are great for a variety of reasons. Specifically overcoming isometrics. The strength carry over is 15 degrees either direction so as long as you’re training 3 joint angles in isometrics you’ll have strength in the full range of motion. Also great for tendon strength/recovery if you’re doing longer holds 20-30 seconds at about 80% max effort. Overcoming isometrics is a great way to essentially max out with much less risk of injury since you’re not actually moving. They’re not great for actual muscle building if that’s your goal. But for strength it’s a great way to get stronger without getting bigger. Great stuff. Not taking anything away from dr Mike I just thought isometrics weren’t given the love they deserve. It’s a large topic and can be specific for some goals so I get why he criticized it here for Jakes goals in training. Much love ❤️

Bruh: the offset loading is DIRECTLY transferable to FIGHTING especially when you are picking men up & throwing them head first into the ground! Cease thinking about most efficient way to grow a muscle & start thinking about the application of your knowledge for different sport specific activities. Your foundations would be the squats both single & double leg, then lunges & step-ups during off-season, during camp you will still do the aforementioned but with greater emphasis & transferable techniques such as off-set lifts: Olympic Weightlifting; or squats, deadlifts, bench-press contrast training supersets, reflexive strength training, dynamic trunk control yes the aforementioned requires this yet you can improve this essential life movement more by focusing on it at the end of a workout. I hope this helps! Peace & Love!!!

[@bigl6322]

He did recommend to spend some time in an mma gym, doing mma drills for those sport specific skill sets. I believe he was making the point that trying to get multiple benefits out of one activity can diminish the other possible benefits of said activity. At least that’s what I got out of it. He was definitely recommending both activities as optimal.

[@johnwebb4292]

If Conor is on gear that's some crappy gear. I'd expect better results for my money... Jake looks better than Conor and there's no dorks using the force saying he's on gear. He's been keeping his weight low purpously for years due to him fighting and cutting weight regularly. He's getting older (not just in age but miles on the clock) this makes it harder to keep weight low and Since the injury he's probably been lifting alot probably to keep himself from going completely insane through inactivity (debatable how successful it has been). He has probably also never been a big lifter until this part of his life becuase being a high level pro mma fighter takes a lot of time and most of that is skills and live sparring and supplimentary conditioning making up a small part of his overall training hours. So now he's a bit bigger and probably lifting regularly all of a sudden he is on gear?! He removed himself from the Usada testing pool for reasons only he knows. If I had to guess it would be that he had no intentions to fight during that period and therfore why subject yourself to constant testing at silly times and having to report your whereabouts to them all the time whilst in the testing pool. Plus he may have used growth hormone to help his recovery from a knarly injury. Staying in the pool is a bit unnecessary and intrusive if you have no intentions to fight. It's not rocket science.

[@gnikdroy]

Have been waiting for you guys to cover this ever since I saw it. Great work as always, mike.

[@steefa_wav]

hey doc, I agree with you completely BUT I will say that pulling and pushing sleds is excellent for helping strengthen your knees if you have weak ligaments (for example my injured MCL) and is a great first step to knee recovery, if that's your goal. But yeah, aside from that... I dunno.

[@danielkanewske8473]

What do you mean by "strengthen your knees"? There are no muscles in the knee. Do you mean strengthen the muscles which articulate the knee joint? Let's go with this assumption. If I want to strengthen my quads, post injury, are there exercises which target the quad muscles superior to the sled push? Yes, so do those and get a better result. This argument applies to all muscles when recovering. If you enjoy pushing a sled, then push a sled. It's an ineffective hypertrophy exercise but who gives a shit if you enjoy it.

[@steefa_wav]

@@danielkanewske8473 absolutely agree it’s not hypertrophic. I use it to help me recover from an MCL injury, and help me work my way up to other physical therapy exercises to increase my range of motion for that ligament (and others that surround my knee) as well as condition it to avoid future injury. If you’re interested in learning more, kneesovertoesguy has a few videos that go further in depth with the research and functions of the exercise. im no PT, nor do i have an education in sports science or anything, so i am way out of my depth on this. nor is this a hill i care to die on - its just something that has done absolute wonders for my knee pain.

Then my gym installed turf and brought in sleds. Lessened machine work and added pushing & pulling sled work, fast, slow, heavy, not as heavy, forward, reverse, pole handles, chains.

[@Bchristensen]

Yea I agree. Sled work works. It’s also fun to change up the routine and do things that are different. I did sled work at a Muay Thai gym for a day of strength and conditioning and I thought it was a powerful training tool for my athleticism. It probably isn’t a good tool for hypertrophy since there are better movements to train legs. But when it comes to athletic training, working in the sled can challenge the body in different ways that you can’t get from barbell squats and deadlifts.

[@brycebaird8613]

Sled pushes can be okay at the right weight and intensity, for developing power. They do not however promote much muscle growth because there is zero eccentric portion of the exercise. He usually ends up crapping on them in the videos because they do not do them correctly for what the purpose of a sled push would actually be.

[@JackgarPrime]

His issue is people doing sled work when training for physique. Sled work is very useful if you partake in a sport where being able to explode in that motion is important. Such as, of course, football. But if your goal is a good physique, which is what should be the goal for all of these actors who have to get ripped to show off on screen, your time and energy would be better spent on other movements.

[@itsmyboardwhotalk]

@@brycebaird8613 yeah the intensity is pretty shitty in most videos. since I started with the sleds I also would say my muscle grow, but maybe its because the strength from sleds translate to a bigger stimulus plus Im less fatigued (bc of the eccentric only sleds) and balancing out the fact that sleds have a low muscle grow stimulus compared to other exercises. man I wish I would have a Dr. Mike AI I can ask all the questions I want^^

[@THEANPHROPY]

Thank you for the upload Brother! With the greatest of respect I have to disagree with your assessment of wrist muscle training. When you grip a bar as tight as you can & maintain that grip strength throughout: it generates a far greater neural drive then using wraps from the start of the lift. This also leads into other physiological cues for the correct lifting set-up take the squat as an example such as: shoulder alignment; latissimus dorsi stacked, stomach braced for intraabdominal pressure generation during the lift. Force of grip strength is important & needs to be considered as a main lift at some points during periodisation & as an accessory to make major improvements at other stages of periodisation. Consider the general muscle fibre type that the wrist muscle is composed of & factor in how this can be improved & why it will tire a long time after the shoulders or the latissimus dorsi if you have trained them correctly! As an analogy to prove you wrong: the heart walls are composed of cardiac muscles; so ting, yet they NEVER tire & stop functioning in a healthy human being, your wrist need work not just for strength but also for recovery whilst exercising so they can continue working at a high output which is what they are design to do e.g. tool making, precision & finesse all these things require ENDURANE ergo STRENGTH endurance. Now cease & desist ridiculing people training their body for all round Health & Fitness & not just hypertrophy & suggest how to do the former better in order to improve the latter!!! Peace & Love!!!

10:55 If you run into someone in the gym trying to train mid-back strength and shoulder stability, they're probably a baseball player.

[@forkmuffin8954]

Pushing a weight load that is so heavy than you are slower than a walking pace is just inefficient. He either needs to try harder or lower the weight to properly train sleds

[@GR0BLER]

care to show us your PhD?

[@Repienk]

Ive been waiting patiently for this

[@kennypowerz1267]

Does dr mike think everyone should look like arnold in the movies? Does he think all nba athletes should be bench pressing? Imagine steph curry 300 lbs of pure muscle😂😂😂😂😂. Wake up dr mike. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stripo9650]

He talks about specificity in the video. Given the actor had a hypertrophy phase, critiquing the routine with the criteria of hypertrophy is relevant. You may have been asleep while watching the video yourself.

[@mike444nice]

Oh shit, first time I’m like Dr. Mike, WTF!?!? Pushing a sled should be the real king of exercises.

[@himeshsinghshishodiya]

I knew this was coming when I saw the video on Men's Health. People were already commenting in that video saying "Dr. Mike's gotta respond to it." 😂😂

[@skolghar]

Finally a Versa Grip sponsor after praising them for so long? Good for you! Good for them! Good for everyone!

[@Lfcme]

I started lifting because my physio and doctor recommended I do rows for shoulder stability. It was a suspected tear but scans came back clear! I know this is a very rare case but it's absolutely why I'm a serial rower

[@RichsOnlineRSO]

Dr. Mike videos make me laugh my a$$ off. Every time I'm going in thinking it's a serious breakdown (and IT IS) but the lines he drops are just comedy gold. Much love Dr. Mike.

[@keanuwick6923]

Great content Doc! Learned and laughed a lot on this one 😂😂🎉🎉 For that Sir, I immediately subscribed 👊 Thanks! 🙏

[@adrianromero5629]

The way you integrate ur adds is the best I’ve seen haha

[@justinallen1383]

Always fun to watch you critique workouts.

[@SMABEL-RS]

As someone who does compete in Boxing, Jiu Jutsu and trains in MMA. I can say I actually do like the movie, like a lot! It’s not Good Will Hunting or Dead Poets Society BUT it is a movie you can turn your mind off to, if you’re only there for Good Music, GREAT Fights and a Western, then you’re in a damn good place!

[@paulshearer9140]

Thanks. Most guys over 40 have some kind of shoulder stability issues.

[@thegoldenfret123456]

aye congratulations on the versa grip sponsorship dr mike!

[@pqlr8763]

Since no one is mentioning it, I'll say it: it was a really good movie for 2024. Felt like something out of the 90s, that's for sure. And had more overall charisma than when the Rock did similar projects in the mid-2000s. I really enjoyed it. Conor is fucking hilarious as well, like a hyper-real version of himself.

[@younes6458]

Was waiting for this ever since the workout video was shared 🤣🤣

[@megriley9841]

How is this the first ever Dr Mike vid I have watched, you’re hilarious!🤣 subscribed 🙌

[@ABC-bm7kl]

Love your channel, Dr Mike! Just wanted to make the observation that for the “heavenly harps” comment you played air violin while a choir played in the background 😄 You multi-layered man, you!

[@richardmeeker2378]

New viewer, first commenter, former massage therapist/chiropractic assistant here. 1. I LOVE your hot takes on this shit. Your perspective is a breath of fresh air. 2. You sound like a god damn tourist. It’s pronounced nuhv-ADD-uh. Not Na-vah-Duh. 3. Seriously I am glad to have access to this content. You and your team are up there with Huberman in my book. Hit me up when your in Vegas and I’ll get you some tickets….can you do that? I have no idea how any of this Internet shit works. Hopefully I get stopped by creepers that want tickets now. 😂

[@ColinHarvey78]

Love these videos. Great entertainment where you also learn a massive lot, sometimes by watching how not to do it! 👍👍👍

[@pennedefalco]

I would argue for partial motion for arms in martial arts, as it builds short quick motion, which is needed for explosive movements. Plus a punch only activates the pectoral half way through the extension.

[@Haulinoat]

I think one thing Dr Mike didn't take into account is that the trainer is probably trying to keep it interesting for Jake. He had a full year to get ready so they definitely had time for some fuckery but really, no actor is going to remain completely engaged doing traditional push/pull/legs and mma for that long

[@omdcarsandairplanes]

Been waiting for this!

[@MasonPelt]

11:02 Re mid-back strength and shoulder stability. I ended up wrecking my shoulder in a car accident years ago because of the seat belt, and I did find a lot of benefit for training to specifically strengthen one shoulder which encourage some degree of atrophy in the time following the injury. Not arguing it makes sense here but, sometimes I feel like statements get so broad they exclude reasonably common injuries

[@jamegumb7298]

Always practice grip. Every morning, every workout, along with the golden 3. I have this thing thjat hangs on the door, tip from a mountainclimber. Go down each time if you can, hang 5 minutes. It really works.

[@adrianacisneros3000]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@mrcommonsense9145]

Jim Wendler loves the sled work - it's right throughout 5/3/1 - it would be cool to see you break down 5/3/1 and talk it through with your thoughts and critique.

[@athlecticAI]

"The fight would be over right there" true wisdom there 😊

[@ausaafsiddiqui2004]

Ohh yeah baby. We all were Waiting for this day when dr mike will critique jake Gyllenhaal's workout routine for his latest movie roadhouse. I love it!

[@DasGeorgei]

I would really love it if you guys could create more videos on athletic performance. Many KZbin coaches still recommend sled work and isometrics for increasing jump height.

[@bladenovak]

Bravo to the butlers for learning to edit this well!!

[@MultiStarboard]

Im not trying to brag or anything but I've been watching your videos for 4 months and today was the first time I was able to correclty write your channel name by memory 😎
