What's really cool about mixing resistance training with fat loss is how it goes beyond just changing numbers on a scale-it's about personal transformation. When you start to see those changes, not just in muscle tone but also in how you carry yourself, it's a huge boost to your self-worth. It’s like, you’re not just working out; you’re building a stronger, more confident you. And that kind of change affects more than just your physical appearance; it seeps into how you view yourself and your abilities.

[@tl0470]

How long after starting strength training will you see fat loss??

[@ThePhilippines]

It's true. I just finished my weight loss a couple days ago. 12kg in a couple months and 22kg over 6months. My confidence is much higher now especially because I had been resistance training the last 7 months

[@dennisnielsen6293]

​@@tl0470 if you're not in a caloric deficit, you probably won't. As Mike said, you don't burn a ton of calories through resistance training. But if you are in a constant deficit, you should see some fat loss weekly🙂 The bigger the deficit, the bigger fat loss. But don't go crazy low on calories, that's not healthy at all, and potentially a bit dangerous for your body. Hope it helps.

“All women are hypo-gonadal… You’re not a candidate for rapid muscle growth”… Never heard that argument phrased that way and is very on point

[@wombat5252]

Oh women can build the muscle just as quickly. The thing is that women generally don't train as hard as a man does. You'll often hear and see men screaming and groaning through exercises and pain just to push through the sets. You'll barely see 1 out of 10,000 females doing the same to achieve the muscle growth. Not to mention, they always use too LITTLE weight. They're afraid to put on weight heavy enough to make them groan and push hard. You'll see countless women at the gym leg pressing just 1 or 2 plates but they easily do 20+ reps like nothing. Hardly ever do you see them pushing it by adding so much they struggle.

[@BigMac8008]

@@wombat5252that’s an interesting take, but scientifically false. Women can certainly get strong. A girl I used to date, can deadlift almost 455lbs. A woman can’t get strong as fast as a man. Biologically; scientifically; factually - it’s not possible. It has nothing to do with their effort in the gym. They just can’t.

[@wombat5252]

@@BigMac8008 I never said they can't get strong. I said that the majority willingly don't TRY to train to be stronger.

[@embodyhealthuk]

I don't believe it's true to say all women are hypogonadal... the gonads don't just refer to the testicles, it also refers to the ovaries. If a woman has Hypogonadism, her ovaries aren't producing hormones correctly.

[@andytheguitarist472]

Ive started doing wheight training after loosing over 110 pounds. I had a lovely time running. Running was impossible at my wheight, so being able to run, jump, and not feel pain? It was like a dream. Couldnt belive it. Ive been runing half marathons in an alright-ish time. Nothing special, but for me it is. Now Ive shifted to resistance trainig and I can deffinitely feel som different benefits. Im still losing wheight. One of the benefits I never really noticed, was how much better my back has become. Didnt realy think it was that bad with pain, but it apperently was. Just a month worth of resistance training and high strectching (wanted to do the splits and im getting there) has made an almost unreal difference. Wheight loss alone made a huge difference, but already feeling much more agile and less fragile after a couple of months is wonderfull. I dont think im growing all that much, but it feels like Im gaining controll, power and become more and more atuned with my body. I know I can trust it to actually do things without breaking. Back rows, deadlifts, even a few modest pullups with good form is possible. I know its nothing special, but 4 years ago, I had lost all hope at even walking painless.

[@Pfanta76]

Same story here. Almost word for word. About two months ago I switched from running 2-3 times a week to lifting weights just because the gym is on my way home from work and at that point until now I have no commitments after work. It was the second best decision of my life. Of course, the best decision was to lose so much body weight. Keep it up.

@@StenBackstrom you are joking right? Why do you think when you diet you lose massive amounts of weight in the first few weeks but then you stop losing weight suddenly? Because the body burns the water weight first which is about 7-10kg then it starts to burn the fat very slow. Losing only 5 kg in 3 months is absolutely just the water weight. Now it will be a different story if she first lost the water weight and then 5kg that is ok-ish..

The reason why people don't change after 2 to 5 years is cuz they just don't work out hard enough you have no idea what you're capable of without drugs but you have to push yourself and it's not pleasant. You get used to what you do everyday and no one really pushes to that next level that your body needs to shock it into change.

Anecdotally, I had been dieting for the year of 2023. All dieting, little exercise. ( I had knee issues. Which have been corrected) I lost about 100 pounds. In January of 2024 I got a dexascan to get my baseline, and started 3 day a week full body resistance training. I have consistently lifted 3 days a week and walked 10k steps minimum 6 days a week since. I had my second dexascan at the beginning of June 2024. I have added 6lbs of muscle and lost 45 lbs of fat in those 6 months. I feel like if I wasn't leaning so hard into the weight loss, I could have put on more muscle. But as it is, I am very happy. It can be done. I hope this helps.

Sure can. If you have lower hormone levels its going to be hard to recover. Hes in his 50s. If you think thats a big portion of his success go join the millions of people on trt that never lose any weight and are still fat and visually unimpressive. For every person that thinks trt/steroids “get in shape with less or no effort” theres a dozen laughing that people still think that in 2024. Are you afraid of touching the same door handle as a gay person and winding up gay? Cuz thats how silly thinking trt is an ace up your sleeve for citing it as an excuse for results of a physical transformation. I have a 45 year old client who has been on trt for a year and has been “training” that looks like fkn trash. Weve been working together two months and his waist has shrunk 4”. He said he hasnt worn 36s since high school. The difference? I make him actually train. I write diet plans for him. Those two things changed his body and life in 8 weeks. Being on trt didnt do any of it unless there was a spot where i worked him a bit too hard. The correct hormone levels kept his recovery moving is the only difference.

As a post-menopausal woman, I'm living proof that Dr. Mike is 100% correct. I'd gradually put on about 20 pounds of fat and felt like crap. I tried various approaches because jogging and yoga wasn't cutting it like it used to in my younger days. I used to lift weights in my 20s and early 30s, and getting back into weight training is what my body needed. I work out harder now (with dumbbells--nothing fancy) than I did when I was younger, and after about a year I can "really* tell the difference and feel amazing! I honestly didn't think I could feel this good at my age. It's very motivating to keep going. I try to run sprints once a week, but other than that it's just being consistent with weight training that is so important in body recomposition.

[@johnstevens1575]

Look at your protein intake, essential vitamins and nutrients, electrolytes, sleep quality, and time and frequency of training. If you use caloric restriction, ensure you are consuming enough protein for energy and muscle building and reduce the carbs, because carbohydrates and sugar can contribute to lethargy and fatigue levels. Another concern might be related to when you eat in relation to your workout time and sleep.

[@dalcow1101]

Sleep at least 7 hours and 80% protein grams in relation to your weight. No caffeine after 11am..

[@Chevsilverado]

Make sure you don’t eat stupid amounts of protein. My first cut I kept protein levels the same and reduced fats and carbs. So I ended up with like 200g protein and almost zero fat and a bit of carbs. felt like shit. Zero energy and sluggish. Traded some of that protein for fat and some extra carbs and I felt wayyyy better. Kept to 0.8-1g/lb protein and made sure to hit my fat target each day, then filled the rest with carbs. Night and day difference. Eating a ton of protein doesn’t help anything. On a bulk it doesn’t matter since you have tons of calories to play with, but on a cut you need to make sure you save room for healthy carbs and fats because they’re essential for your bodies function and energy.

Used to be low carb as well. Until I realized you can eat whatever you want as long as you are disciplined with portion sizes and counting macros. No need to be on an elimination diet to be healthy.

great video, also if lost fat and gained muscle equally scale may not appear to change at all

[@cantmaskthetruthterlesky8713]

Like the Bad Omens shirt too!

[@deansilva8401]

Mike's advice changed my training for the better. I've had nothing but progress since

[@cantmaskthetruthterlesky8713]

I have worked out for 38 urs. Mostly weights, powerlifting, and anytime i increase my strength my clothes get looser and have way more definition

[@gutsssz]

Im 6’1 225 pounds right now, when I was 235 pounds I was benching 215 for 5 reps, and now at 225 I can barely bench 205 for 4 reps.

[@phr33k4z01D]

I started working out consistently about 18 months now back then i was around 160lbs skinny fat sloppy. As of yesterday im 218lbs and all i been doing is dumbell/bodyweight workouts this whole time. I feel like my skinny fat belly is going away but thats literally the only place on my body where fat is visible. Everything besides my belly is pretty much muscle at this point. My biggest problem now is the 3k calories i need to eat daily...irs not easy at all 😂

[@edwardtalerico9041]

I am 51, 5'9" and 202 lbs. I lift 4 days per week, about 1.5 hrs per session. I have gained a lot of size, but I am also 25 lbs overweight and I can't shed it. I have absolutely no idea what to eat. I have been told I don't eat enough (I use my fitness pal to track my calories and keep my intake to just under 2,000 calories a day) but that seems counterintuitive. I know once I drop the weight, all of the muscle will "pop", but I don't want to stop lifting and replace it with cardio and I'm afraid to eat more like some say. What in the actual fuck do I do!

[@timtill1791]

Dana got on TRT and hgh, lets be fucking franck here

[@rightfeelI]

in his own channel Mike talks about this actually

[@josipX]

and ozempic

[@BigTyronie]

That has jack shid to do with anything. If youre fat youre going to be fat on trt and gh. In fact if youre that outta shape they wont prescribe it. If you think getting on exogenous drugs is a cheat code youre in for a rude awakening. The work is a constant in this equation. And before you start dreaming up a rebuttal, yes there are tons of people on full blown courses of peds that are fat and look terrible. Thats a personal issue not drugs. Getting huge and ripped even on gear is more work than 90% of the population is willing to exert which is why about 5% of them have it.

[@gordonshumway1857]

Yes, that doesn't change the fact of his composition difference, Mike has discussed Dana's TRT usage on his review of his workouts

[@Woodskill23]

True , but even on trt u still have put in the work

[@dankelly]

Can you link to his app and the other thing he mentioned near at the beginning, please?

[@Mananon88]

Dr Mike seems like a really cool guy. 👍

[@bobcantstandzyobitz9778]

I (almost completely) stopped working out for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Did a cut. Trying to get my abs to really show. I'm pretty sure I lost a few lbs of muscle, and I don't have much to lose. I'm 6'2 and between 170 and 175 usually. I was pushing 175 and weighed at 168 after. I was noticeably weaker on my workouts, had to drop down a notch in weights and didn't even get the same reps. I hate my body, or maybe everyone has this problem of losing muscle so fast and taking months to gain any strength. IDK, either way, gotta keep at it, consistently.

[@DancinGrizzly]

Nah it’s not just you, that happens to me too. Lifting while trying to lose weights is rough, the workouts are way harder.

[@dredubz5825]

I appreciate the information. I’m wondering if as a woman, I can still build muscle with zero testosterone in my body? I’ve been very sick and had to have my ovaries removed. I take synthetic estrogen, and have tried taking testosterone gel, but it didn’t absorb for some reason. I gained a lot of weight from the hormone loss and being sick and depressed. I’m trying to lose it now, and have started doing some weights and Pilates. I have very low energy and muscle aches from the lack of testosterone. Just wondering how hard it will be for me to build muscle and keep my bones strong. I’m only 42 year old.

[@timothyrussell1179]

Most of us dont have time for the extreme precision. dont get too far over 15% body fat on your bulk and don't cut too far below 10%. Thats what's worked for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@brianpistolwhip]

I was looking for the link to his app in the video description XD

[@woozychoo]

How I can do it with varicose veins? It's just depressing cuz I should't do weight training at all....

[@crucifixgym]

2:00 Dana White did it on TRT though

[@Jourifouler]

In my expereince, people are able to both lose weight and gain muscle because they eat enough calories to still build muscle while also in a deficit to lose weight. Once they get around 2500 calories to maintain it gets alot harder.

[@Tom-wk6pv]

That head vein looks like Zues' thunderbolt

[@cjlewis5455]

Great video, always top information from you guys! However £100 for 30 days supply of the Sleep Pack is insane 😳.. pharmaceutical drugs are much cheaper 😢

[@EL-em3mn]

Question, if i drink/eat more protein but cut calories so i am I'm a deficit will i keep the muscle i have or even gain muscle through weight training while in that caloric deficit?

[@Teachingfashion]

Can you do one for bulking I am lean and have all my cuts but I need mass on it

[@TheShavedleggs]

Use the answer machine "perplexity" and enter the following questions: - what role does leucine play in protein synthesis - what does leucine threshold mean - how much leucine is in 3 eggs, 100g dried peas and 15g parmesan - how many kcal do 3 eggs, 100g dried peas and 15g parmesan have -- - which trace elements are involved in protein synthesis - which foods are rich in zinc, iron, copper, manganese, selenium, iodine - which vitamins are involved in protein synthesis - which foods are rich in vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 -- -100 meter sprint, aerobic capacity and the afterburn effect - VO2max and fat burning - how do I determine my VO2max - how do I determine my FATmax -- - Are Pull-ups effective for biceps

great video thanks

[@ceelavs]

This advice is pure gold - just lost 30lb over 6 months thanks to the knowledge Dr. Mike and the RP Strength crew share

[@ThePhilippines]

Music to my ears. I lost 12kg in a couple of months by cutting out sugar and fasting but luckily I had already started resistance training 7 months ago. I am 10kg weaker on bench though. Great advice. Thanks!

[@elit4780]

Does training with kettlebells counts as resistance training?

[@louisehamer9083]

Can we please stop bashing the ‘steroid use’ so what. Do you all think you wake up with larger muscles and lower body fat. NO. people on steroid still work hard. It still requires all the discussed. Just gives a helping hand. Haters

[@blackmage567]

I know i probably should hire a trainer or visit a Nutricionist, but imma ask anyway. I've lost 20 kgs mostly by running. I also was extremely sedentary (and actually still am, but i lift weights. other than that im sedentary). I am probably around 22-23% body fat. I dont look muscled at all ("dont look like i lift" unless you see my naked arms which kinda do show some muscle) How do i decide if i want to lose a bit more bodyfat or just focus on building the muscle? If you "dont look like you lift" you'd guess that i am undermuscled enough to gain muscle while losing fat? I've been training "going through the motion" for a while, but started actually putting in intensity/effort (and neved missing a session) since the beginning of the year. I gained around 6kg since then and definitely gotten stronger but still look like shit (too small sometimes, but definitely a lot of fat there) Im pretty sure the training intensity is OK for now because as i said i have gotten stronger and for example in my arms when im moving them around, or showering etc i see night and day difference. I also get sore almost every session on pretty much every muscle group. But i want to get rid of the fat and dont want to look like im sick or lose whatever little muscle i've gained

Chris: I thought it was impossible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time Mike: nuh uh

[@alexquinonez8443]

Weight training protein rich diet to build muscle, cardio and lpw carb diet to kill fat.

[@ryanomalley7710]

Dam i didn't know Jocko Willink's brother was doing weight lifting advice now?? ;)

[@nickybjammin7629]

I was hoping it goes like this! My damn love handles feel like they want let me finish them off!! I’ve only done a cut once so far and the fat came back but not as much and I got more muscle. I just gotta annihilate what’s left of my love handles. ….and as I continue to work out it’ll be nothing but awesomeness forever 💪🏼

[@dylangoodfellow4778]

Lost 46 kg last year while gaining strength and muscle predominantly through resistance training and a insanely high step count my pressing movements platued eventually but I was consistently able to overload on and pulling and leg movements throughout the process

[@mattanderson6672]

Thanks

[@QueensNativeNYC]

If somebody is morbidly obese the best thing to do is to just get the weight off by any means possible.. If I guy is 5'10 and 300 pounds of blubber and has a goal to lose 100 pounds in a year building muscle tissue shouldn't even be a priority in my opinion.. Once you get all the blubber off you can build muscle and reshape your body

[@lancejacobs.]

Want muscles= working out and good diet Looking bad = working out and bad diet Looking bad = cardio and bad diet Loooking good= cardio working out and good diet Looking good = no working out no cardio and good diet according to height and body weight... But this is just my 5 years of research what do i know🤷‍♂️

[@saccaed]

Tracks exactly with both times I put in the effort to lose fat and build muscle at the same time. Both times there was an flip in appearance from fat guy look to guy who works out but is a bit overweight. In my case it was arms and legs first, abdomen last. First time I did a lot of endurance training thinking it would help burn calories. It helped but the benefit I most got out of it was getting to a point cardiovascular that I could do a lot more even when overweight. Having the cardio endurance made activities more enjoyable as I was not always out of breath.

[@emmang2010]

Dr Mike is just amazing

[@AlonewithAnkit]

How to reduce belly fat and still gain muscle? Can someone help me? I am male and 37.

[@jarrad5723]

Heya mate! First step, track your macros. You need to be in a calorie deficit for the amount of work you are doing, and you can't just eyeball your food as you very easily be eating in a surplus by accident. Watch Jeff Nippard videos on what to eat and how to train. Watch Sam Sulek videos on a good training intensity. Do cardio and lift weights at different times, making sure you eat before you lift weights! Also, cut any alcohol out, it will make a huge difference!

[@AlonewithAnkit]

@@jarrad5723 Thank you so much sir for your efforts to help me understand. I am just eyeballing. You are right. I am overeating. I realised this lately.

[@Hedgeflexlfz]

isnt using dana white a bad example since he was clearly not solely natural?

Lean mass loss in dieting is not equal muscle loss.
