Huge credit to whoever decided, "we're going to objectively review each piece of content instead of only highlighting stuff that sucks and makes us look smart." Thanks for having faith in the audience that we're interested in seeing good execution, too, and that your commentary is helpful REGARDLESS of the quality of the movements being demonstrated. Good content doesn't have to be critical of other people's works, it can be in support of it. Amazing job.

I tried that booty band pushup. I have hypermobility and struggle with keeping form and injuring myself during pushups, whether they're on the knees or on the wall or whatever. My shoulder blade is feeling pretty good on the band pushups. Hopefully I can work up to doing real pushups, but if not, its still more ideal than injuring myself and giving up on them. Its pretty comfortable and does not ride up with the fabric kind.

[@ElCubed]

I also used the band assist to rehab my pushups! Eliminated my elbow pain and allowed for better form, while building confidence in the movement doing more reps. I also used inclined pushups to add more volume with less load, and finally got back to a full strict pushup! The band was a good regression for me when I struggled so much and hated pushups- now I want to train for higher volume and harder variations in the future, love that it is an exercise I can do anytime and anywhere!

I really like how her page hits all of the checkboxes for being something not only young people new to fitness, but really anyone new to it could get into. 1. She's clearly a down to earth human with no ego at all. Her content, and she as a person that she puts out there 'feels' real, which means real people will gravitate to it, and want to listen and absorb. 2. Her advice is pretty simple and accessible for anyone, with any budget, and most importantly, largely damn sound advice minus a few exercises that aren't as necessary. and 3. Her form on exercises is just really, really good. I think he's definitely right about the high volume for legs. It's almost like she's a young Platz, and has been so obsessed with legs for so long, that they are just cyborg legs at this point that can handle more volume than the average person training.

In regards to doing squats starting heavy, a trainer that I had for a while had me do a warmup set, then 3x working set for squats, and then after the third set, immediately drop weight down as far as I needed to and bang out 20 with no rest between. That was by far the most effective leg workout I've had - he had me do it with squats, leg press, etc.

[@eschelar]

I always get people started with a basic bodyweight squat routine. Typically get them working on it for 3 weeks. It builds some basic muscle mass and endurance as well as helps stretch the ankles and knees and builds good movement patterns and balance for when we get the bar on their back. Most people I train are barely able to handle the bar at a useful depth on day 1. Bodyweight squats for 3 weeks, every other day, adding 1 rep each time, starting with 4 sets and whatever they can handle comfortably and every time they hit 26 reps, dropping 5 and adding 1 set... Most people can handle 40-60kg on their back after that, even females.

Hey doc, I came up with a great pullup variation for intermediate beginners struggling to get their pullups. They’re called box pullups and you set a height where you lightly rest on your toes and pull with your upper body and only until you need the assistance start applying pressure through your legs to help complete the rep, that way you don’t lose the tension from the bottom of the rep, and have that extra layer of assistance!

I just found out about your channel. I don't really know what I'm doing, but thankfully, steady-state cardio is simple and I've been seeing good weight loss results. I was drinking a few times a week and NOT just 1 or 2 drinks, but many and I've been living that way for 15 years. From that experience, I consider myself a professional on how you shouldn't deal with the loss of loved ones. I'd think "They wouldn't be proud of how I'm living now, but that doesn't matter - they're gone", which fueled my self-hatred, which fueled my drinking, which fueled my self-hatred and so on. For years, I've wanted to quit drinking and focus on my diet, exercise and to reach my goal of having a healthy body that makes me proud of myself in the mirror instead of dodging my reflection when I go into the shower every day. I only just started my life without alcohol, but already, I feel motivated and I feel proud and when I think on what my lost loved ones would say, I hear them in my head, saying "Finally woke up? About time. Now, go be who you actually are. Go be who I wish I was still around for. No more running away. It's time to run forward." The 'bottle' is poison and I hate it, but I no longer hate myself. I'm 34, 6'3" tall and I was at 310. Now, I'm at 279 (just weighed this morning), moving toward the 210 - 220 range. I'm 1/3rd toward my goal. It's so much easier to exercise every day than it is to hate myself, but it was a major struggle to finally decide to stop running away. If you read all this, wow (this was more for myself than anything), but if is helpful in any way to anyone, it was worth sharing. I know I'll always love and miss those I've lost, but now, those losses are my strength and I'll never allow them to become excuses ever again. This community is where I belong.

Your voice is so calming I can imagine being able to absorb info really well in a class

[@momchilmilanov4312]

The sense of hummor made me sub. Love watching gym content mixtured with good amount of hummor makes it even better, keep the content coming.

[@RichXVIII]

As a research scientist I love these kinds of videos - it's basically peer review!

[@benr5983]

I nominate a random calisthenics workout to be reviewed next. PS: Love those episode. Very entertaining and informative at the same time.

[@deannad3308]

Good to know about the assisted pull-up machine being better than the bands. I've been told by a few pepole that I should be using the bands instead. So this was really helpful!

[@michealton]

Hi, I wouldn't mind talking to you. I have been teaching High School weight training for 20 years and the social media workouts have been giving me fights for a while now. I love your science biomechanical explanations. Great video and I am glad I stubbled across it.

[@TehRealChruZ]

Hell yea! would love to see this with other fitness influencers

[@NickMasseyRideon]

as an older gym nut I use pre-eshaust a lot, as I have gotten into my mid sixties, for me it help minimize the chase of injury later on in the sets and reps

[@MadmanJnr]

I'm impressed by the quality of the review( always great) and the surprising lack of innuendoes....

[@JennidavismakeupHouston]

😂❤ What a great video! This is my first time watching your channel. I am a leanbeefpatty follower and had to check this out! I really enjoyed all the honest feedback plus the quirky comments. You just gained a new subscriber yourself! 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@DDuffy143]

Lean Beef is my favorite, because I can see her processing and thinking things out like I do. We've soaked up all this knowledge on weight lifting, but we all have our own little ways of making the workouts best for "us". We all have different body types and genetics. The same thing that works for her, may not work for you.

[@yvonnesanders4308]

Good point. There is an ideal exercise position as we all have a different rom and where we feel the muscle

[@channelpolite]

Question for you doc, for the deadlifts. Bending the knee tends to give me more glute activation and reduce lower back irritation. And I look to the ground to maintain a neutral spine. From your professional opinion, what cues/posture would you recommend to maintain these benefits while doing it?

[@sherrypatrick5642]

Thank you Dr. Mike 🙂 sending love from Neosho, Mo

[@omnione12]

You ever discover someone amazing through another amazing person you just discovered. I am loving the Dr. Israetel advice

[@Garblegox]

13:10 looking at her feet on that plate made me imagine flicking a coin across a table. Made me so nervous 😂😂

[@Alex-vi6iz]

Never knew about the smith machine facing thing, trying it in my next workout tho

[@AngieCee1]

Great explanation of these exercises. I've been working out for a few months now and it's super interesting to know how certain things work (or don't).

[@chrisvanderwesthuizen7153]

Dr Mike, dude, you definitely make exercise info not only informative, but also very funny and entertaining. I've watched quite a lot of your videos in the last few days and let me say this: 'Sir, you are a legend. I suppose your qualification speaks for itself.'. I'd love to have you as my trainer.

[@halfchickenhalfegg]

3:44 i think the soft knee SLDL was meant to be more for the glutes than hamstring. for this year i've done SLDLs RP style with a lordotic spine and by golly my hamstrings have grown since but now i've felt my glutes lag a bit. i've screwed around with SLDL to be more hyphotic and the slight bend in the knee and i can use my glutes better through the exercise. i'm aware of the dr. mike deficit glute deadlift exercise but i'm still working on technique for that doesn't make me feel it so much in my lower back and even quads. i might be going too low at this point but what Patty is demonstrating seems to be more for the glutes.

[@TheGreektrojan]

If I wanted to emphasize the glutes more in a RDL/SLDL I'd follow the Jeff Nippard cue of treating the top of the movement like a vertical 'hip thrust' and focusing on contracting the glutes.

[@mattoniy2840]

Everyone is different, for some her technique is perfect. She will have the mind muscle connection to make that assertion for herself

[@smeaglerG]

No she's just not dialed in with the technique. Don't make excuses for her lol.

[@frankb5728]

@@mattoniy2840 Her technique isn't perfect. She pulls with her upper back instead of hinging, it's a small adjustment but there's a little work to be done.

[@pricerowland]

I'm super impressed by those handstand pushups. I've been focusing on calisthenics for a year and a half and wish I could do them as easily as her.

[@fredfredburger5150]

Really? I assume from your profile pic you're a guy, can't you just pop a handstand and do them? I was doing them as a teenager in 1997 (after seeing Nic Cage do them in Con Air) and I was not big or strong at all back then.

[@endermanofficial]

don't shame a lad like that. he'll get there eventually if he has the right mind set. you're not helping. but hey, best of luck in all your pursuits and have a great day friendo@@fredfredburger5150

[@JasonThaiKennedy]

Dr. Mike is not only a legend in the workout game. But also ****ing hilarious. The world needs more Dr. Mike.

[@TheFman2010]

I enjoyed watching your commentary. I learned a lot and laughed at lot at the same time.

[@BattleOrder]

Need to get LeanBeefPatty in for a workout

[@elwynn1230]

god please no.

[@molecularmage5443]

No

[@PotatoSlices]

No.

[@1brunner699]

I don’t follow or know anything about her so I’m curious why everyone is saying no…

[@utkarsh2746]

​@@1brunner699Because even a great channel as this one has a depressing number of incel followers.

[@firet101]

Lean beef patty is one of my three go-to fitness KZbinrs for motivation she's quirky and fun but when she hits the gym she's straight bad ass I have mad respect for her
