Dr. Mike shouting "CONTROL! CONTROL!" is what I imagine to stop my FREQUENT premature ejaculation

[@leehomer6642]

But it always has the opposite effect

[@ReizokoRyu]

Yeah... Relatable! Sometimes I ejaculate prematurely just seeing a new training/critique from the good doctor!

Congrats Mike! 8 Months pregnant and you're glowing 🥰

That's mean lol

[@BradSchoenfailed]

Lyle McDonald said it best. Mike has 10+ years of training and gear abuse and can’t even get into shape.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

​@@BradSchoenfailedGod awful genetics and loose skin would do that to anyone. At least he's the best he can be.

[@suppressor6172]

I'm 100% sure this is in good spirits, but for those other idiots out there: The body you got is the body you got. Mike is not only objectively strong as fuck; he's done great with what he has. Keep it up king!

[@juliannachname6833]

Mad respect to Kyron, that much effort and the willingness to endure pain is impressive. And respect to the others for pushing a pro to his limits and giving so much mental support.

[@Doombotino]

its not really that hard, i trained harder than that when I was 14, the harder you train the more you get used to it but he has great genetics so he probably doesn't have to train like tom platz for him to grow. I think he's just a bit spoiled because some people train way harder than he is in that video but he's bigger just cause he's on gear and his genetics are better.

[@hadooshi]

I want to see Dr. Mike do a mashup with Tom Platz on one of these leg days.

[@Mymle]

@@jessebrown1400 I would love to see that, it would be intense :)

[@C0d0ps]

Same, would love to see Cbum here

[@BaconManBruh]

​@@C0d0psDunno, CBum won't really let anyone touch his technique or even programs since he's Mr. Olympia he has to be at that top level so i don't think he'll be on here anytime soon. One day once he retires maybe.

[@braga_6850]

That would be awesome! Or Ramon training with Dr.Mike too!

[@amandacatherine793]

Wow, Kyron is a colossus. I like how he always listened to the coaching, was humble, had a nice sense of humor, and worked hard. He’s awesome! Please have him back on again for more training.

[@lesbetesdelamer]

This might be the best training vid you've done. Kyron is a monster!

[@crenshawshank]

Was just thinking that

[@kiltification]

yeah this one is a banger!

Dr. Mike throwing Jared under the bus *"He's good but not as good as you"* 🤣🤣🤣

I mean as cool as Jared is..... he ain't wrong though

[@Answeriz42]

Lots of respect to Kyron. They pushed him hard and you can see how much pain he was in and took it like a man and didn’t give up.

Jesus, nicks legs are insane!!!

[@TanThighsYum]

Bro I don't even know how that's... feasible? possible? wtf!?!?!

[@gagesavant]

I've met Kyron on a few different occasions now. He's a super friendly and genuine dude, had no problem taking the time to talk to me and asked about my own competitions. He even helped me with my posing which was super cool

[@DevKumar-ex6zb]

Kyron's one of the best Men's Physique competitors out there. The man's got some crazy work ethic.

[@TwiceBorn420]

"U got Nick Walker watching he invented control"😂😅🤣🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@DadBodsRUs]

Nick Walker’s legs, especially his calves, are actually fear inducing. That dude could kick a hole through a person.

[@domepiece11]

The veins make me want to puke a bit though, honestly. I like Kyron’s aesthetic physique better.

[@crenshawshank]

Such a great example of how true masters treat the craft. Kryon has more competitive success yet is so humble and coachable to these guys, even through a leg workout meant to extract international security secrets. Crazy respect for the effort and insight put on display by everyone in this video.

[@thor498]

He is gone win spmething big sone no ego just a great guy

[@nockianlifter661]

I felt those hack squats.

[@akbananachucker2441]

Yeah I agree. They need to get that one in for leg day as well. Very nice legs. Wonder who that is?

[@brandoncardwell6145]

Na. It was nice until I saw the tripod.

[@richowen2597]

Can’t believe an ad for fucking v-shred popped up in a Mike Isratel training vid! 😳

[@franchescoli1904]

i love kyron holden he used to go to my gym, he is the most focused humbled guy, youll ever see.

[@RA.Repertoire]

S/o to team full ROM on incorporating the latest studies with the partials even though it may go against what full ROM was all about to an extent

[@tjrocha7732]

I like it cuz the whole thing with it now is you do full ROM till you can't do full ROM and then you do those stretched partials

[@Itsmekvn]

its not against full rom

[@russianbeginner643]

The only acceptable way to use partial reps is after being tired from full rom reps.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Dr. Mike elaborated this in an interview. Even though I personally don't completely agree with the whole lengthened partials thing.

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

Leg day is the most satisfying mentally, knowing you're working those huge muscles

[@skuxxskits]

8:32 Absolute savage of a joke xD Mike was cooking that one up the whole video for sure.

[@ReizokoRyu]

Damn, Dr. Mike looking like a badass sitting on the machine debriefing Kyron after the hack squats ! Spitting that truth! Gospel!

[@kman8749]

Kyron is great! Really took the coaching well. Great mindset and approach. Much respect

[@RoyalBack]

I physically can't look at Nick Walkers legs. MASSIVE respect for the man, but jesus christ does that not look healthy

[@ReizokoRyu]

Yeah... Like GIANT drumsticks riddled with abnormal veins!

[@DogginsFroggins]

I'm surprised he isn't dead honestly, the is just one varicose vein at this point.

[@meatball8992]

Leg day tomorrow, will be using some of the tips here! Thanks dr Mike!

[@MD30474]

AMAZING video, one of your best. Man trained like a beast. Also Nick saying "Trust me you're gonn need that rest" goes so fucking hard.

Not a good idea. You might go all psychotic and start eating plates.

These are the best, motivation, typically shows RPs fav exercises and sets intensity expectations for a final week in your cycle.

[@michaelsiemasko9395]

More like final week of your last meso in your entire block before you deload, dr mikes final weeks dont look anything like what he has people do in these videos, mostly just for views.

[@ReizokoRyu]

That's the power of Dr. Mike, baby!

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

If you're looking to actually get strong, Dr. Mike's techniques with actually hamper growth. His training philosophy is oriented towards extremely advanced people looking for hypertrophy exclusively. Beginners won't see a lot of PRs from this.

​@@user-he4ef9br7zi thinl he's just looking to get big. In which case Mike's q's are gonna be helpful regardless of training exp.

You and me both. My gym has 5 different chest machines, but no hack squat.

[@Vincent_Beers]

If you're in the US, look for a YMCA fitness center, they are nationwide and most have multiple rooms of equipment, both isolation and free weight. Never been to one that didn't have hack squat, leg press sled, multiple squat platforms, etc.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

You can achieve more or less the same effect with a smith machine, feet forward. Still not ideal, but it's the technique and intensity that matter not the equipment. Plenty of people with enormous legs who never touched anything other than a barbell. Plenty of people with huge legs who've never squatted a day in their entire lives.
