[@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 ❤️

[@janisfarhat9935]

Something important to note I think is that Jake already played a boxer before (Southpaw 2015). So it would be easier for him to achieve this physique and these fighting skills in one year. I’m not trying to downplay his achievement though.

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.

[@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.

Plateaued on leg strength and mass for almost a year and didn’t want to put much effort in programming for more gains because I was happy with what I had. 415 squat, 605 deadlift plus a decent amount of machine work. 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. In 3 months I gained 1.5 inches circumference mid thigh and 1 inch above the knee. The rest of my usual leg training didn’t change but RPEs felt a lot easier with squats and deads.

[@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.

[@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!!!

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.

[@thalloutboy]

Sled pushes are absolutely great for athletic development. They have decent carryover to sprints but are less taxing on joints, and they build overall power output. There’s a reason so many athletes utilize sled pushes. As for training work capacity, it’s always possible to treat it like a cardio movement, though I think jogging or cycling would probably be safer for that purpose. With regards to grip training, I could totally see how forearm training could reduce the risk of overuse injuries from fighting movements. Many boxers/UFC/MMA fighters run into elbow and wrist injuries from repetitive punching, and strong forearms (not just big - strong on certain movement patterns) can really help reduce pressure on the connective tissue. I mostly agree about the offset-loaded lunges, but I can also see the utility of having a combat sport athlete do these for the purpose of training obliques, which are very active in rotational movements (such as throwing a punch). What it comes down to is that Jake Gyllenhaal was training to be an MMA fighter for his role, not a bodybuilder. It kinda makes sense considering how much money the studio would lose if he got injured doing a stunt and shooting got delayed. All in all, this is a pretty good training program for someone training to fight, albeit with room to improve I’m sure.

[@wandererstraining]

Regarding isometrics... I wouldn't use them for building muscle or endurance, unless it's a sport-specific demand, but short, maximal isometric moves at various angles can be good to practice recruiting muscle better. An example of that, for me, was the one arm chin-up. Isometric holds adaptations have a spill over in terms of the range trained. It's not huge, but I remember reading 10-12° on either side (which is a generalization, of course). Working with 5 different angles for 5 second holds on either arm in one arm chin-up was an effective way for me to progress in my one arm chins at some point. Only 2 sets per arm before doing assisted one arm chins for higher reps (I believe I did 3-5 back then), and whenever a hold reaches 6 or 7 seconds, I added more weight to the holds (because they had to be maximal. It's not practical to use that kind of technique for most movements tho. I think that it lends itself better to unilateral exercises for example.

Love the show man, i always think it strange though how we can criticise obvious results so to speak.

I enjoyed hearing from Kyle. I thought, finally someone with a cool mindset. I'd hear more from him on a regular basis, Mike

You are well educated in muscle physiology. I worked out with a trainer for a long time. I got form down pat and leaned out; however, I did not gain muscle mass. The routine was cookie cutter. How does one find a trainer who is knowledgeable and works with me as an individual?

A blockbuster is a movie that “busts” “the block” as in it brings so many people out to watch it that it can fill a city block or bust it wide open (and I tell her bring it back)

Ok,, when it comes to stability training, what’s your take and stance on the vibration plates more specifically the use of a Lifepro Rumblex 4d vibration plate? I have MS for over 27 years and am a bodybuilder as well.
