Gaining 10 pounds of muscle mass requires an approximate caloric surplus of 35,000 to 40,000 calories, given that 1 pound of muscle is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories. In a 2-hour period (length of the video), this would mean an energy expenditure of around 20,000 calories per hour, 40k cal in total. If you weigh 70kg, you'll have to do 200 hours of continuous, intense pushups to reach a total energy expenditure of 40,000 calories.

The thing Dr. Mike did excellent here, even better than in their own channel, is adding nuance to everything. He made sure to specify which things are the fundamentals/major building blocks. And that the other things are also important, but in the grand scheme of things they are minute details. This is a crucial aspect missing in much of the fitness content, the explanation of how much difference a variable makes (ideally in percentages) for hypertrophy. And that’s a bad thing because, the explanation of how much difference a variable makes provides beginners with a clear overview of where to focus their efforts initially and what to perfect later, avoiding overwhelm. To put it simply, imagine studying for an exam where 90% of the questions come from chapter 1 and only 10% from chapter 2. Naturally, you’d make sure to spend all the time needed mastering chapter 1. And then after, if you still have time left, you spend the remaining time studying chapter 2. Without this information, you might divide your time equally between both chapters, which would be a mistake if you knew the importance of each chapter’s content.

This was ridiculously good and informative. Now that I'm 62 years old, I've had to dial back on the total number of sets per week, and can't go real heavy; I keep my reps to15 for my warmup, then a weight that lets me rep out around 10-12 reps about 2 reps from failure, then add weight and try for 3-4 more sets at 8-10 reps, 6-8 reps, then whatever I can pump out for the final set to failure (usually 4-6 reps.) At this age, injury avoidance is the absolute number one goal; if I'm injured, it takes a LOT longer to recover, so controlled, smooth reps, with fairly slow eccentric motions to finish. This was an really great, science and evidence based conversation, this is one of your best.

I must say, I didn't even know bent row could train hamstrings. Never noticed. Williamson asks really solid yet short questions. Like just hitting the nail on the head at every turn on what's interesting and important and was left out. And his grinning is just enjoyable. My favourite part of the interview was "I'm just gonna stfu" "yeah! :D" I've been listening to Dr. Mike for years and while he's open to new thoughts and discussions and in practice is far more lenient in what he considers good stuff, his teachings can sound sometimes slightly restricted and absolute even on things we don't have much evidence in. All of his teachings work, nothing away from that. The beautiful thing is that when you've learned most of what he has to teach, you can expand your horizons over to other exercise scientists and hear different interpretations and applications, and S&C coaches who have a whole different perspective despite also reading and following exercise science development. It's always good to remember that most of what Dr. Mike says comes from bodybuilding perspective. You're not necessarily stupid if you do some things he doesn't approve, you might just be looking for different benefits than bodybuilding, since just bodybuilding is not very holistic world view. It's effective in making people function well and improve their longevity, but you might also desire certain level of athleticism and sports or strength sports type of things. Say he will absolutely roast you for doing heavy dumbbell cheat rows, but you might be a judoka and wish to build resilience to being heavily tucked from the shoulders or sleeves (it might sound like an excuse, but the heavy eccentric does train your tendons and ligaments better than controlled lower weight while still being rather safe way to train, and by resilience I mean shoulders being able to take it). And you might benefit from the powerful pull as well. Or you might do some balance work (feet on stable ground) or after injury to teach your leg some missing proprioception (balance boards, even bosu balls maybe but never combined with weights like he said). Even box jumps or depth jumps or battle ropes. And it perhaps warrants noting that Dr. Mike is not stupid as everyone probably understands, being a PhD in the topic and coaching athletes and having been one or still being one, he acknowledges these applications at times, but usually he's critiquing people who do them for no reason or apply them nonsensically, and you might get the impression that you're an idiot doing a similar exercise. And in the end he would also point out that whatever gets you exercising and to the gym is valuable, even if it's not optimal (like in this interview as well). Ps. Don't look up what medical doctors or Dr. Mike say about supplements like LMNT or AG1.

What I truly appreciate about this is the motivation aspect. Mike explains it perfectly and has such a healthy, nuanced take on it. Enjoy your training. "If you really love deadlifting, f*ck all the optimal sh*t, go do some deadlifts"

Yeah, I love his mix of being both very detail-oriented and science-based, but also seeing the big picture that if you aren't bodybuilding as an actual sport, you don't have to be optimal. Like, for a while now I've been using a band/bar/plate system (X3 in my case, but there is Harambe, etc). I have some sense of where that may not be optimal (more systemic fatigue from pushing harder at the strongest ROM while less force in the stretched position), but isn't as bad for hypertrophy as it could be (since X3 recommends you keep doing partials in the stretched position after failure of the full ROM). And at least for the moment, I can judge that the ease of a quick workout at home, and safety for things like squats, is worth it for me right now. I know if I had to go to a gym each morning right now, I probably wouldn't stick with it. But I have the tools now to judge what aspects of it is working and what I might want to change from the default program or supplement with other kinds of exercises.
