[@user-wn3wv5bx5e]

@@joe94c I would say probably. Even beginners wouldn't be introduced to this channel no matter how informative it is, simply because the information, even though accurate, can be hard to swallow. I myself had to start out with zumba thinking it'd gain me any muscle. At the very least it built up my endurance and shedded some of my weight. Although I think because of that, it got me more into fitness, and eventually informative fitness. It can be a slowburn for people inexperienced, especially inexperienced people without much time for fitness, but if things turn out well and they continue their fitness journey, then they'll definitely improve.

[@graemebland4169]

@@joe94c I think it was mostly because he had a very similar body to mine. I also had very little muscle and felt like the fitness (or lifting/ bodybuilding/ strongman) space wasn't for people with a physique like mine. I already watched Felix's content quite avidly and seeing someone who resonated so much with me go through such a transformative process was incredible. It allowed me to see the real "before" - let's be honest, we don't get to see the real "before" from most influencers in the space. So yeah, in a way, he made it attainable. And as @user-wn3wv5bx5e said, there's not a huge influencer market for people looking to dip their toes in the space. "Beginner" in the fitness space, particularly the lifting space, typically translates to: "I've been lifting for a year or two and I'm looking for more focused techniques/regimens/ etc"..

The best kind of training is the one you enjoy and can stick to. It might not be the optimal intensity or the bet exercises, but as long as you're consistent and not doing anything that will mess up your joints you'll get results.

That demystified working out for me and now I’m on my third week in a row of doing 3-4 workouts a week.

So thank you for helping me take the first REAL steps toward losing weight and getting healthy.

Yes Mike hop on twitch! Hafthor streams, martins has a channel, and Knut is “the guy” with bodybuilding on Twitch.

It would be AWESOME if you went to twitch. Not only could you game but you could maybe show us you exercising live? Would be epic!

You sound like a dad that doesn't understand the new generation, but tries either way to blend in with his kid.I love it.

[@ParvParashar]

Excellent video! Really loved all the advice on getting a deep stretch and the comprehensive explanation on why it’s very important and how to get it efficiently and benefit from it. The video is extremely entertaining and informative from start to finish! Phenomenal stuff. 👍💪🙏

Agreed👍

[@pamelaberry6875]

This is exactly what I needed! I only have a bench and dumbbells in my house and I wasn't sure if that was enough to build a sufficiently fit body. After watching this and taking in Dr. Mike's advice I'm more confident in it now. Thanks!!

[@CL-JEF]

I have the same setup, actually I bought it because I saw pewdiepies video a year ago. Can confirm you can absolutely build muscle with the setup

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

Ironically hypertrophy needs less equipment than increasing total strength. If your goal is to get the strongest possible legs the dumbells quickly run into a problem of being very annoying to rack for heavy ATG heel elevated front squats. Even from just the floor, the barbell ends up being easier to rack for this.

[@aca347]

I've been working out for a year and I don't have access to a gym all the time. A pair of dumbbells is really all you need if you want to shape up your physique. Maybe as you get more advanced get a pull up bar and some resistance bands but beyond that you really don't need anything else. You don't even need a lot of weight on the dumbbells either. There are plenty of techniques and form changes you can do to make an exercise more difficult with the same weight. Hell, plenty of people built really good-looking bodies with bodyweight exercises alone. "I don't have the equipment at home and the gyms are far away and expensive" is an excuse.

What’s good dr Mike you should review track and field athletes workouts next I love your channel though you helped me get in the best shape of my life

Yeah someone like Galen Rupp or Kippchoge would be great.

Just a bro helping out another bro, while being respectful and refreshingly original and funny. Wholesome gold. 🎉

[@omgurheadsgone]

6:05 - Hahaha, that’s pewdiepie’s own brand of gaming chairs by the way, he made that chair and the company, and one of the main selling points he would always meme was that it can basically recline to completely flat hahaha, and I love that he was right, people love that feature!

[@RealCrashGaming]

He didn't make the chair or company. The chair has his branding yes, but it is a brand deal with the company. he doesn't actually own the company.

[@Ryan-gb3ik]

You’re just completely wrong hahaha. All he has is his branding on the chair via a brand deal but he didn’t make it and he doesn’t own the company.

[@omgurheadsgone]

@@Ryan-gb3ik okay thanks for correcting me… sorry that I don’t know the legal details in regards to pewdiepie’s unique gaming chair he sells. Because of the way pewd’s would always make sure to mention it (aka market it) each KZbin video, I just figured that pewd’s owned the company selling the gaming chairs so that he was making maximal profit from each gaming chair sale. I guess whatever his contract is with the gaming chair company that’s making/selling his unique gaming chair design + pewdiepie’s brand / KZbin persona, it basically must be way too expensive to try to start a gaming chair company from scratch, so after punching in the numbers, he figured out it would be way to much work / way to expensive to do it all by himself from scratch. So he partnered with clutch chairz for the project, as they already have all the infrastructure set up and ready to go, only needing to input the chairs pewdiepie graphics, and tweak the desigh so it can recline all the way to flat / 180 degrees. All that stuff is besides the point though, because it doesn’t matter if pewds started a chair brand from scratch or if he collaborated with an existing chair brand to create a unique pewdiepie branded gaming chair… at the end of the day, pewds does have a unique gaming chair piece of merchandise he can advertise and sell.

[@Ryan-gb3ik]

@@omgurheadsgone bro wrote a whole essay just because he was corrected.

[@malcolmsilva]

Some context on the pewds. The reason for the dumbbell only setup is cause Felix tries, to a point, to be minimalist. On top of that he was waiting to move to Japan, but borders were closed due to covid, so he didn't want to keep buying stuff when eventually he was going to move. Now that he has moved, his setup isn't much bigger, he has a bench, dumbbells and a power rack(?) for some barbell work and pull-ups. For gfuel, it's probably his biggest sponsor and it's a powder energy (140mg caffeine*)(supplement, so big *). Usually it's pretty clear that he's joking when he makes inane claims, like you can't say "you will win 1 million dollars", but you can say "you might win 1 million dollars" and give away nothing, because then it's a statement of chance, not necessarily of a giveaway. So usually I expect he'd say "drink gfuel and you might get 10% muscle growth" while making a face that makes it pretty clear he's joking, or saying something before or after that shows he's about to or just made a joke. But honestly I watch him enough and turn off my brain when sponsors are mentioned so I wouldn't register it if he didn't do it. All the bias. Either way, finally a workout reaction to someone I follow, so figured I'd chime in, haha.

[@Tom-fl8eh]

I think there have been some studies of how caffeine can potentially help working out. Don't know how true it is though.

[@meodrac]

it boosts energy helping you work out more, that's basically it @@Tom-fl8eh

[@hat8694]

Nerd 🤓 His dick must feel like a hoover deluxe lol

[@OnionNinja]

​@@Tom-fl8ehLol ofc it does. Caffeine is a stimulant and its in every preworkout you can find.

[@carlosmspk]

You really overexplained his joke about G-Fuel hahaha. Of course it was a joke, and the way he says it so "plainly" with no facial expressions, is part of the dry delivery that he does a lot.

[@vanguarded3264]

Mate, your impression of nords is spot on and so smooth. God damn!

[@BrentMalice]

that was the single best ad-transition of all time

[@haellm9192]

Mike acting like a child seeing the gaming chair is so funny

[@Osprey1994]

Felix started practicing stoicism a while back, and he has really tried to avoid having a ton of material things. So this is probably part of why he has such a spartan setup.

[@sammckenzie6760]

I think he's gone too far Should 100% use a basic squat rack set up

[@beardyjesus4591]

I don't know, his living room looks quite fancy for a minimalist. I guess, he doesn't really need more, but I think a rack with a barbell and pull up set up would be cool

[@baronvonhoughton]

Stoicism? Doesn't fit that context mate.
