Whilst I was in Dubai I had the pleasure of training legs with the man himself Ben Pakulski.

Audio isn't great.. If this gets enough likes I'll add subtitles.

[@leesmart2250]

I was talking to a colleague at work about your videos and I also mentioned Ben. The two guys a watch on utube. After work I click on utube nd you guys have partnered up!!! You guys are reading my mind!!!

[@leesmart2250]

Great video by the way

[@crackerdnzl]

Audio is fine, bro.

[@capoditutticapos19]

michael how many bishes have you tapped in your life?

[@mattdavies5012]

How many working sets of quads and hammies was this workout mate?

[@komaddog]

That warm up on leg extensions was basically a workout. Lol

[@gurukevy]

That is not a warmup

[@AdubsMMA]

That's what I thought man. Exhausting them to failure for a warm up doesn't seem right. 🤷‍♂️

@Ze TheGame Ahhh mate, stop fucking whining

[@bradycampbell5944]

When your lifting partner is yelling during warm ups, you know it's gonna be a long day.

[@nathangibbs711]

hahaha yup

[@ChispaMotivation]

Holy moly, I thought Mike was gonna pass out during that leg extension.

[@phantom5185]

I don't mind the workout. It's needing to go do a client's home roof, 3-days after, and can't walk. That's what sucks, about doing legs.

[@valsflor1686]

Ben Pakulski is one of the most knowledgeable retired bodybuilders out there. Props to you Mike for enduring his style of training.

[@brandoncollin1960]

@FitzChivalry Farseer up the dose bro.

[@xdmuscle]

FitzChivalry Farseer he really not an idiot just doesn’t actually understand what’s going on in the body internally. He’s giving all the right cues as to what to do in the movement but truly doesn’t know the purpose as to really why. The fact he said don’t worry about feet placement on the back squats made me cringe tho... just something he skipped because he didn’t mention it first I believe.

[@maximalsakerhet7930]

@Horacio Nelson Mike actually isn't on gear he just has really good genetics and have been working out for a really long time. And fucking Jason Blaha that dude is just straight up a fat hater. He talks shit about other athletes but take a look at the dude who would want to look like that?

[@danielsmith7324]

Horacio Nelson Jason blaha 😂😂😂😂😂 are you serious? He took tons of gear and looks like shit and he’s a proven compulsive liar

[@mattfarthing9564]

Awesome video, Mike! When I see someone as advanced & knowledgeable as you continuing to learn and level-up it inspires me👊🏼

[@philosophyexplained]

Bro love how humble you are always, with all your knowledge and experience yet always willing to learn. Obviously why your one of the best. All round one of thebbest physiques also. You smashed this session on another level bro. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in for us viewers its really appreciated. Learned so much and been inspired time and time again by your videos.

[@runningnigerian9558]

4:05 Mike's head turned into a tomato.

[@phantom5185]

Cause he's not breathing. I know he's fit but can't seem to remember to breathe, well you're doing the rep. Vince Delmonte did the same thing when Been and Vince form the workout program cd H - Max. (It clearly was Ben's knowledge, not Vince, even though this video, it is Ben.)

[@patrickeddy.]

Absolutely killer. Best leg workout video I’ve seen in a long time. Props to mike for pushing through, that warmup alone made me wince from imagining all the lactic acid in his legs

[@peterraj256]

Ben with the Knowledge + Mike with the proper execution(form/speed) = Well worth the watch.

[@HaydoNFFC]

Mike's summoning the demon inside to get through these reps. Look at them eyes roll back!

[@ryanaldho]

Mike, not sure if you'll see this mate. But thank you so much for everything. This is one of your best videos and they're all of top quality. Amazing work.

[@nikosxeimaras5204]

today's video is the reason i subscribed to your channel. The context is unreal, i mean there is a meticulus analysis, an unprecented step by step plan for everything and a perfect form, which is one of the more sensitive and crucial facts concerning working out with weights! Great job keep up the good work!

[@sammy778]

The chick goes full autism when the dude bumps into her at 5:51😂

[@harshivam208]

Im dead😂 wtf is she doing

[@cryptonomous888]

Lol. Weird movements 🤣

[@tchoopee5143]

Lol she was tryna flex for the camera

[@angrybirds719]

Lmao this comment

[@eliowo9561]

She was activating her hip flexers for a full workout

[@riconater3215]

This video shows that intensity makes all the difference. I noticed my gains slowed and when I started watching my favorite fitness youtubers train, I realized I got comfortable and stopped training like a man possessed. That is the best way to progress. Like Mike said you think you train hard, but compared to who. There are always people who train harder. Great video man. Very informative!

[@jeremyw4858]

Mike. Great video. You asked great questions and that was very useful. Thanks!!!!

Oh my god, this is awesome! Pakulski knows his stuff, followed him for years. Great seeing you go through the pain barrier here Mike. 5*

Notice how Mike was suffering way more in the beginning. Shows how fast he increases his mental fortitude to adapt to heavier physical strains!

After your first set your face said it all 😂😂 had to laugh, beasted!!!!

[@WitNicky]

Lmao this is what it’s like when any of us normal people workout with you. This dude is on another level

[@WELLZY_]

8:18 this guy really locking his legs out? Madness

[@icebomb30]

Got to give it to Mike, been doing this for a long time and still never edits the parts where they talk about his weakness. In fact he brings it up which makes me feel like we can all work on things to be better. Experience with room for improvement is a good thing!

[@zippiedoo3583]

The more I see Mike the more I admire his mindset and just his personality! Keep getting it Mike! U really inspire me

[@G2020-]

I'd be crawling back to the hotel in tears after that warmup.

[@Ericdj15]

Now thats a trainer I wish more people would push their clients like that!

[@g3tafix]

Training with all the legends, Dorian Yates, Ben Pakulski! I think next you need to step it up another notch and train legs with Tom Platz.

Man im about to move to dubai simply to attend this gym because of the music and the music only. Quality 90s east coast rap blasting through the speakers compared to 2010-2015 greatest pop hits they've been playing 50x in a row in my gym.

they're playing "I love my 90s hiphop" playlist on spotify, I recognized the track list

amazing video Mike. Love to see more with Ben if you're able to. He probably has the next best legs behind Tom Platz. Fantastic to hear and see hid thinking behind each exercise and the execution.

Its scary to know that you alwasy can train hardder

[@spacetime3]

Great session and so much knowledge gained. Amazing the considerations such as the knew roll at the bottom of the leg extension. Also really interesting explanation of mike's shaking being related to the body detecting instability makes so much sense. Your ability to contract hard depends on your stability at various points of the movement, mind blown!

Most knowledgeable dude in the game... love his podcasts too

As much as i respect ben, the choice of creps for this session is absolutely criminal

Converse are great for lifting though as they are flat.

what's wrong with them? he's been wearing these same shoes for like 7 years now lol if u watch some old videos on elitefts channel he's wearing the same type of shoes not sure if they're the same pair though lmao

[@AllTheGo0dNamesRGone]

you're kidding right? converse are by far the best choice of shoe for lifting... runners/joggers/sneakers whatever you wanna call them are quite literally the worst thing you can wear unless you are actually running.

[@TheRealBruceLee]

Whistralian yeah I’m surprised Mike is wearing those shoes and not something like converse, I thought it was well known within the industry that they are the best for lifting.
