is it expensive?

[@zacgarcia7164]

@@mohamadhariz9613 Probably. It's like having your own coach and on top of that it's someone in high demand so he can charge a lot for it and people will pay it. If I could afford it I would sign up

[@rasalresid9147]

This is a great workout, thank you for sharing with us! I am already doing something similar. Will add the rest of these exercises for sure. Btw I always thought I was eating enough and was disappointed because my weight stagnated. Then I got my first diet plan created on Next Level Diet. I realised that my previous food intake was way below my needs, although I thought I'm good. At the beginning it was hard to eat 2700 kcal in a day, but I got used to it. I started noticing real gains and it felt amazing. I wish I'd understood the importance of diet earlier.

[@lucaknezovic776]

Mike! No question, but your new training split so far has been a lot of fun to try 💪🏻💯

[@jeroen6856]

At 14:06 if you put safety clips for a barbell between the part of the machine you are pushing and the area where it rests on, the starting position will be higher which is easier on your shoulders.

[@shantanurajsingh2206]

Have been following you since 2 yrs. Not a gym douche but your videos are helpful and refreshing. Thanks for the videos.

[@gymbroski4783]

I really needed this split, I have the same problem as you my chest is overdeveloped compared to my shoulders. Also my back and legs need to improve, so this split is perfect.

[@joshualuke6235]

Mr Thurston, please I beg you drop a white THRST dri-fit / Quarter zip

[@dougkelly1779]

I am really enjoying this series of videos, they are very informative and they are reminiscent of your early videos in that they are packed with useful information. At some point could you give us your thoughts on training principles for your older followers like me ( 65 years of age ) but still passionate about resistance training, however now starting to get aches, pains injuries etc.. You are now a very polished presenter no matter what the subject matter is, keep up the good work. 👍

[@_matthas559]

100% agree with the pec fly machine; so many people just bring the elbows down to get the rep out. The neutral grip is boss!

[@zmitch88]

Your back looks phenomenal. So does THAT and THIS.

[@Jesse_Ghost_]

I really love watching your vids Mike even though I can't gym at the moment I am storing up info for when I can much love from South Africa

[@kuurizzo1896]

My current split is similar. Chest/Back. Legs/Shoulders Arms. I will alternate the higher sets and heavier loads. So for Chest I might do heavier weight, more sets for a few excersizes. Then for Back I would do lighter weight sets. (so no deadlifts that day) or exercises that use not so heavy of weight. Focus more on high reps. The next Chest/Back day. I would start with Back becasue that's going to be my heavy stuff, then finish with some lighter weight but high rep chest exercises. The heavy day stuff I always try and do 3-4 exercises, just looking for to really push myself. Lighter day body part I always do 4-5 exercises and I'm chasing the pump there.

[@applecharm6025]

Can you share your exercises + sets/reps? Am doing chest/back/triceps, legs/biceps, shoulders/arms. Felt like I’m training my chest more during my chest/back days.

[@djg1821]

Just started Mike's split today, let the gains continue 💪🏼

[@niclasjr]

Can you send me the workout plan brah💪

[@chadmaskell]

Working 70 hrs a week on nights with 6 hours sleep a day leaves no time to train and live this glamour life we keep being sold 😥..... Time to make some changes 🙂

Only just recently got into watching Mike and I’ve learnt so much. Brilliant videos 👏🏼👏🏼

[@calebormsby6351]

Epic reasoning behind hitting your chest only once a week Mike! Very logical reason and smart!! Thanks for sharing👌🏾 10:17

[@pododododoehoh3550]

Yeah just a shame I came here for his chest secret formula as Mikey looks like he could model a bra haha 😄

The shoulder vascularity is intense man. Physique is killer

[@johnphelan5265]

I love that mikes walking around with no shirt on being followed by a whole film crew and no ones even noticing. If i was there id be seen in the back ground of evey shot just standing there smiling.

Thoroughly enjoying these latest videos. Great stuff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnphelan5265]

Been a subscriber for ages and always enjoyed your vids but this was next level brilliant

[@Jyotiprakash_Jena]

Every Detail was on point from if core activation is necessary or not in T bar to Not much activation at the top in Dumbbell flies.

[@_Kavika]

I don't know what's harder.. recording this video or lifting weights. You make it look so damn easy.

[@Jimminityjabooboo]

I like to bench with elbows at a 45* angle with wider grip, and I want to feel like I am “scooping” with the pec, from stretch, scooping with the pec, to peak contraction. If I go with elbows flared to the side, I get a better stretch but less on pec for contraction.

[@nicolas4130]

Mike: "If you go heavy, don't flare too much:" Also Mike: "Shall we get the 50s?"

[@mrbartuss1]

Strength is relative

[@andrewverran3498]

at the end of the day you do have great back exercises.probably the best video of yours i have seen.Also , these days peoples lazy forward kyphotic postures require more back and less chest exercises.

[@chriscurrington1980]

Really enjoying these workout vids, it’s educational, right to the point and as ever u always make them fun and interesting to watch. With regards to chest exercises, I’ve heard chest up, head up especially on upper chest, and on peck deck exercises, but I notice u don’t do this, do u think this helps all or is it not necessary?

[@retabiyo]

luv ya man, you great

[@_igfitness]

Classic uncle Mike workout video. Watching this after working out but makes me want to go hit chest and back 🤣😤💪🏽

Amazing series Mike! I like that you picked a quite gym, it’s easier to hear you and much more easier to follow, you should do it more often.💪🏽👍🏽

[@ManateeGamingRunescape]

legit question, what amount of test do you need to run to build similar to this? Im not interested in becoming the hulk but whatever Mike is on seems to be the right amount.

[@VoiceOfThe]

He honestly doesn’t need to hit his chest each week it’s so developed. Once every two weeks and I bet he’d still look the same.

[@monopolimusic]

Anyone else pick up on the fact that this gym must have their playlist on “best of Akon” LOL
