GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF WIDTH THIS CHRISTMAS | MIKE VAN WYCK

[@seses2806]

The cue “shoulders back while chest goes up” changed the game for me, my back is on another level. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and Merry Christmas Mike!

[@NeverSarcasticMan]

Same here, I wish I would’ve discovered Big Mike about 25 years ago

[@Slaprox]

Same, same. He's done wounders for my back.

[@killerboyak]

Can you elaborate please, do you pull your rear delts back? What cue do u use to trigger the shoulder pulling back?

[@hkguitari]

Exactly

[@ADAMGILBRT82]

Thanks

[@joskyyebo]

Lmfao when he said just go help your friend move shit in his apartment 😂😂💀💀

[@chipfull9114]

All time favourite bodybuilder.

[@MattFlyFisher]

My back was already decent prior to discovering the Wycked Way. But since it has absolutely blown up. Thanks Mike

[@benrader4112]

7:59 is when Mike starts ti talk about back.

[@daryldelp8232]

Best comments ever!! I love it when he calls out this goofs getting these tats on their legs and wearing the short shorts. Someone gotta call them out so why not Mike. Absolutely perfect and that's half the reason why I watch this channel.

[@SuperDappa100]

Best pod on here for information. I've been training 35 years. You can learn every day. Been watching mic from the get go, Yes I'm a sted head 2 😂. Happy Christmas big mic

[@HulkSmash318]

Whats insanely impressive to me is how i can be sitting down watching these videos…. And while Mike is explaining form i can visualize changing my form and swear i can feel activation of whatever muscle hes explaining! Especially locking on lat by just changing my grip and posture!

[@markgauckwin4673]

I thought it was just me and I was insane, literally every video I feel like I'm getting a pump from watching his cues.

[@HulkSmash318]

@@markgauckwin4673yesssss bro!! Love it

[@WILD__THINGS]

That's impressive. Might indicate you have a great connection with your muscles.

[@mikefreeman6799]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 The shorts tattoo rant is BY FAR my favourite 🤣 holly fuk! Mike needs to do 1min stand up on Kill Tony!

[@rstev8647]

Killed me with that face “ur just standing there” 😂

[@killerboyak]

“What do i do? Drink water dude”

[@MR_Nerd_2U]

LMMFAO!!! He is talking about Greg Ducet and when He was talking about Jonni Shreve! It’s sad but very true but love the info! Don’t like bully’s nor trolls‼️💪🏾💯

[@jackedbyjade]

Just got back to my home gym today after 3 months of working out at a different one in another city. It was cool to get back to mine with the different lighting and seeing the changes in my back. My back got massive in the last 3 months because of Mike.

[@Yoshi.337]

“like a fuckin dolphin” 😂😂😂

[@adminicredabase3731]

Mike, Thanks for the knowledge. We need more like you in the industry.

[@Knightmare02]

he said IM BIGGER WITHOUT EVEN TRYING! lmaoooooo Mike van savage! 💪

[@bobnoxious719]

Question on cues. When doing wide pull downs, do you elevate the scapula at the top for stretch or keep them depressed? Also wide grip rows, do you protract the scapula?

[@kenlowell9862]

It is rather funny to hear tattoo advice coming from Mike. lol.

[@ADAMGILBRT82]

Always enjoy the mixture of awesome training advice and the ranting

[@KenanTurkiye]

the question is: what is a dumbell ? and..... what if a dumbell had a rep counter and a intrarep rest period timer/alarm etc built in it, would that make it a smartbell ? (ok there's a business idea, you can thank me when you get rich) ;)

[@christophertownsley6763]

Appreciate you Mike! understanding that the body works synergistically for moving heavy loads relates to POWERLIFTING, not bodybuilding style of training. Ie. What Mike teaches

[@Marvincoley-k9w]

Appreciate you Big Mike! Merry Christmas to you .

[@jeremeylochridge7911]

Anybody know who he was talking about regarding the rear delt movement critique?

[@N8_Dogg]

I was wondering the same thing. Have a couple of ideas, but I don't wanna just throw names around. I'm going to go back and see if they have any videos about the subject matter...

[@klb1718]

Facts Big Mike...Super FACTS!! 💪🏾✊🏾

[@MrDernell]

Yo the thigh tattoo rant for no reason for me dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@fatboitino2]

Those little thigh tattoos are mad sweet. Can’t believe guys are getting those. Different generation

[@Ninjersey1]

Damn I just did back this morning,gonna try these next time

[@The_MKUltra]

Thanks Mike, Merry Christmas!

[@oppuss36]

Thank you Mike for all you good info 💪Roger from 🇳🇴you are the best, I tried your triceps exercises for a few months and I see how triceps melt against real delts, you are the best and I have seen a few thousand youtube videos, Thanks 😊

[@NeverSarcasticMan]

My Favourite short cut channel

[@NicholasCate999]

SHORT SHORTS FOREVER BABYYYY

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Mike that was a GREAT teaching momemt, I learned I've been doing bicep curls completely DUMB for years now, and it just msy be one of the biggest reasons I've never really gotten bigger arms.

[@stephen686]

I’ve always wondered why I cant get my upper outer lats sore. Finally had someone explain what to do.

[@gamer_with_gainz]

D**m just when I was about to get the date that I started watching this channel 😂 dolphin legs. Love your advice dude

[@paulmurphy5510]

Man, I’ve had a tribal band for 30 years….. guess a head tattoo in the new year! Merry Christmas Mike 🎉

[@VeeTaperTemplar]

“With Their Less than Manly Legs” 😂 I save these for 4ams before work

[@ottomanbeatsofficial]

he 100% correct. if you cant make adjustments on the spot by looking at the people youre training for their own benefit. YOU DONT KNOW WTF YOURE DOING

[@jakezaragoza6091]

Big Mike telling it like it is!💪🏽

[@Max_bulk]

lol at the boat anchor rant dude loves to complain about everything … I’m with it .

[@Professional.Bro.777]

I would pay to see big Mike set a tripod and literally talk to the camera for a entire video

[@MissionJesus370]

I figured that out instinctively that rounded pull downs I feel the lats better. Save retraction for a seated row or somthing

[@Slazbob]

Basically, he’s saying if your financial advisor is just living paycheck to paycheck, don’t listen to him. Haha

[@Gregory_Poise]

Merry Christmas Mike and Laura.

[@thehaptiK]

fuck i just got a WYCKED TRAINING thigh tramp stamp too!

[@robertrob5976]

what about pullups? please

[@delmarmeadows3305]

Thanks coach

[@philipmathews7678]

Merry Xmas Mike...

[@antoniodiciacca2949]

In fairness , the best analogy you’ve ever used was a golf swing. Nobody I had ever listened to compared it to that. Incremental improvements over time and sometimes you fuck it up but it all clicks.

[@Lloyd_SK985]

Please can you make a video on shoulder impingement

[@mikeholmes6183]

Realest guy

[@alexfafoutakis]

The leg tattoo rant 😂

[@arc0006]

Can you do more videos in free weight movements?

[@birdman1325]

More than just lifting advice today.

[@connorsmith7666]

That’s a common argument. Dudes with no gains educating people about fitness. Then the top bodybuilders in the world don’t talk to anyone. Crazy how confidence is more important than ability

[@seanc77339]

Greg doucette??

[@MrJocky82]

Mike is bang on the money here. Why would you take advice from someone who only knows about training through books, over someone who has been in the trenches for years?

[@VenomousVillain]

Anyone else feel when Mike looks at the camera, and his eyes scan up and down that he's judging your shitty pecs... or is it just me? Lol

[@jayvastine6641]

Movement. I never thought that stiff was the way it should be done. I see trainers all the time and just shake my head

[@jesusguzman1421]

Who is the baseman troll he's talking about

[@supersavage6260]

I Have Face Tattoos, It's Acceptable By The Wycked Few, Merry Christmas Mike Longevity And Prosperity To You.

[@KenanTurkiye]

It is interesting that Christmas is condemned even in the bible it self. How come most Christians not know this? Jeremiah 10:3-5 "For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good.''

[@KenanTurkiye]

Here's a different perspective you most likely did not know before either. Jesus Christ the Messiah (peace be upon him) was taken to Heaven by Lord/God/TheCreator because some wanted him dead, so God saved him. The word christ comes from the Greek word 'christos' meaning chosen, the word messiah comes from the Arabic/Hebrew word 'messiach', again meaning chosen. Jesus did not speak Greek or Arabic or Hebrew, he spoke Aramaic. So, Who chose Jesus? TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord did. To do what? To convey that there is TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord and only ThatSupreme power should be worshipped and prayed to and NO idols/conjured up god/s by human kind, be it a man, a spirit of a man, a sun, a star, a moon, a tree, an animal etc etc be worshipped in any way. Anything that is worshipped besides TheGod is a god, that is false god, hence with a small ''g''. There is one Creator, hence why TheGod, the only One deserving of worship. What does Allah mean as a word? It means TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord. What does ''elaah'' mean as a word? It means any idol or conjured up god or gods that are false and do not deserve worship of any kind, hence why Islam rejects all gods but TheGod/TheCreator/TheLord/Allah. Why are all religions in opposition of Islam? Because they have a god or many gods but TheGod that is worshipped in someway or another. Have you ever read a Quran from start to finish? That you can answer for your self. (I recommend the Sahih International english translation, it's good). Best wishes. ------------------------------- .....btw..... Jesus did preach to worship the OneGod/TheCreator and not anything else, and so did his followers, peace be upon them all. This unsettled the Roman Empire because this idea of Monotheism went against their pagan beliefs where the emperor was both emperor and god. They persecuted the followers of Jesus and even attempted to kill Jesus, even a Roman Empire servant Saul of Tarsus was out to kill Jesus. Saul never managed to meet Jesus in real life but after Jesus was taken up to Heaven Saul said he saw a dream and said he will now preach the teachings of Jesus. Saul of Tarsus is also known in todays christianity as Saint Paul, so todays christians are actually on the teaching of ''Saint'' Paul which brings in trinity and godhead figure of Jesus and rejects Monotheism. -Jesus was commanded to preach Monotheism, which he did and early followers were Monotheistic believing people, which later changed with the Roman Empires paganism spreading -Jesus was commanded to preach ONLY to the Israelites, which he did, but after him Saul of Tarsus aka ''saint Paul'' started to preach to the Gentiles, which is the foundation of todays christiandom. -Jesus was commanded to rule for the circumsicion which he did, but it was taken out after he left -Roman Empire in 325 AD held a council, with empire alligned 'scholars'' to decide and VOTE on whether Jesus was to be worshipped or not, they VOTED that Jesus be accepted as god (in aliagn with the pagan beliefs of the Roman traditions) and ever since the trinity became the 'christian way' (not what Jesus preached), and sinc that time the Church has chronicled how many times the ''Bible'' has been changed, verses removed and verses added to SUIT this altered idea of trinity!

[@KenanTurkiye]

......and my apoligies if that was a bit in-your-face and confrontational, not meaning to be either and/or rude, just want our Christian brothers in humanity know the devils confusion they are in. But of course everyone has the right to live their own, just sharing some knowledge from a different perspective. Again my apoligies if any of that came across rude, wasn't the intend. Best wishes. ;)

[@KenanTurkiye]

......I'll just hush-up now and watch Mike's vid silently in a corner. :))) Take care and llllliiiiiiifffffffttt. :)

[@aidenpryde50]

GD it I hate you...But you absolutely right!!

[@chiksdigclowns]

Full of excellent PSAs 😂

[@jayvastine6641]

Who’s Mike talking about? I really only follow Mike and a few others

[@MR_Nerd_2U]

He is talking about Greg Ducet and when He was talking about Jonni Shreve @jayvastine6641.

[@reitudichabe1351]

I was thinking Greg too until he called him a kid. Greg is older than him by more than 5 years so it’s probably Jonni. 🤔 or what if it’s Leonidas

[@MrSkeppy22]

Should do a video with the kid! ⛓️

[@nancylorenzutti3453]

Hello, I agree with rant, first lay person can’t retract and depress scapula, hasn’t stood in a room and done the same exercises like I did to become a professional dancer, doesn’t understand if you can’t create resistance in your own body you are not Ready to use a weight, when you choose a weight or an exercise it has to be for a reason, they are just lifting and lowering the weight and don’t know why , they don’t even know why they are at the gym , maybe socialize and play with the phone, Mike, they can’t even bend their knees , name a sport where you don’t bend knees, ok maybe mahjong (spelling?),😂 you are absolutely right maybe one person has exercise or physio degree, you tell them that if they work out without a teacher, they are actually lowering their level of resistance, one more thing , I promise, they don’t understand that gains don’t happen IN the gym , you are just trying to create micro tears in the muscle , so it can repair itself that’s my rant, sorry. N

[@embracethechase3539]

Tell em again big man!

[@juoutlaw1of15]

Lol he sounds just like that😂

[@welldone8235]

you've probably seen them, some people in the gym do walk front relaxed all the time :)

[@NeverSarcasticMan]

I WISH I had tyrannosaurus traps, I only have these tyrannosaurus arms

[@mgho34]

Merry Christmas 🎄 😂

[@saucedobrian14]

Strongly believe he’s talking about Jonni Shreve 😂😂

[@KSG593]

No he's trained with jonni before

[@MR_Nerd_2U]

He likes JONNI BUT the troll he is talking about is Greg Ducet @saucedobrian14.

[@nancylorenzutti3453]

Hey, you are an excellent trainer, when you correct somebody there is no guarantee they will be able to do it, even strength training requires talent😢

[@Easybreezy3257]

Trolls under bridges with emphysema

[@charliehoffmaster4696]

It’s Nick Trigili clowning DJ Sal Money on a video December 1st on his Instagram. Sad thing is there are some pros in the comments agreeing with Nick.

[@KR-or8de]

2inch thigh tattoo, better pop some numbing cream on for that bad boy 😆

[@PittsburghWelder]

And I like what you said about the smaller guy being more developed haha that’s usually me most of the time when bigger dudes think they are better than me… they’re actually just chubby and moving weight around the gym for no reason… like why don’t you just go to the supermarket and help people carry groceries, cause that’s all your doing, basically nothing

[@zekeanthony]

Lolllll tryin to mate with eachother man nahhhhh

[@fresnodarwindog]

A wide back the gift that keeps giving….

[@KenanTurkiye]

Not unless you are trying to fit into jackets that have your width but that are too long for you. Not a good ''giving'' you wanna be getting. : ))))

[@cszabo8899]

There are people who do walk around like that. The unfortunate effects of ILS.

[@laddy2737]

[@PittsburghWelder]

700th like 😂 anyways… some dude wanted to fight me one time on the topic of gripping sooooooo fucking funny … he was a Goldberg tattoo guy stuck in the 2000’s 😂 Definitely don’t need to squeeze shit. That’s actually the worst thing you could do. FUCK MAN, even when I’m “lifting heavy” I have a loose grip.. I figured this shit out years ago befor you even had a channel. It’s funny these mfs are now just getting it lol maybe 😅

[@codyrountree2517]

Classic 90% complaining..just teach stuff bro. Who cares what other people do. I had to like fast forward most of this

[@redstang70]

[@HerbanFarmer420]

[@stopdropnrollablunt]

so true on the tatts... i just dont get it... someone gets the weirdest dumbest tattoo and is like yeah i got tats, it doesnt hurt... its like dude ur tattoo took like 20 mins to do.. try sitting for 8 hours for a real tattoo you'd be crying. People ruin their bodies with terrible art lol.
