[@FR5DDY]

Love that Dave is just there doing the exercises as if he was not being recorded, he respects his coach enough to not take the spotlight away from him.

[@Oneoneone111One]

He seems extremely humble

[@PinguinoRodriguez-hd8bw]

Also respects him enough to actually record with him. Most of these are "train like Chris Hemsworth! (here's some random dude doing an ab workout)".

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

Actually Batista was always a very quiet guy before he got big in wrestling. Ohio Valley Wrestling is what taught him to have a personality

[@knightshousegames]

@@NewNormalWorldOrderI'd argue it was later than that. He was even pretty quiet in his early days in WWE even, as Decon Batista and his days in Evolution, he'd mumble in his backstage segments and was almost never on the live mic. I'd say it wasn't until his program with Eddie Guerrero on Smackdown, thats where he really came out of his shell and found his voice as a performer. I don't think Batista would have made it in Hollywood without sitting under the learning tree with Eddie, who was an incredible talker, but was also quiet outside the ring.

[@pierrea3094]

Dave is a damn solid dude. Underrated actor too

[@mr_wright_official_]

I have actually been on set & spoken with Dave, he's actually super soft spoken & very considerate

[@christianc.christian5025]

I’m just repeating stories I’ve heard in interviews (but one of them did come from Bautista himself) but he supposedly underwent a significant shift to his approach and general demeanor after his backstage “incident” with another pro wrestler, Booker T.

[@iconicstudios5611]

He is extraordinarily humble

[@JanGottschau]

and an actual sensible workout as well 😊

[@leonro]

We have had many other celebrities, but they don't have actual workouts in them. To be fair, those celebs don't look like they lift either, so it's pretty much the viewer's fault if they think that those activities are effective.

[@strongguy1231]

"He knows enough to where everything I say there goes against him is like ny educated guess against his" thats a very humble statement coming from someone as knowledgeable as you. Probably one of the reasons your channel is my favourite. Very educational , funny and very humble too. Keep rocking Mike 💪

[@kahashikun]

Refreshing to see an A-list celeb's trainer that actually knows what he's talking about and doesn't care about looking flashy/different. I always hate seeing Hollywood trainers that make up nonsense or promote terribly inefficient work outs to "set themselves apart from the rest."

[@nesamdoom]

I had high hopes and it's nice seeing a workout being focused on the workout and not like hold this medicine ball while doing one foot jumps onto a balance board with chains over your shoulders... I haven't seen that yet, but it sounds like the hollywood trash ideas.

[@leonkennedy9739]

A lot of these will put out a lot of BS to entertain people who have never been to the gym before in their life. Dave's exercise is very good and people who exercise will understand it. Chris Hemsworth exercise video is worthless to make him look as he does with such crappy work he's probably blasting more gear than most IFBB pros, but he probably does real weight training but the training video he did that Dr.Mike covered was garbage. Also I doubt Chris Hemsworth doesn't do roids to play Thor even with proper weight training.

[@SuperheroRockstar]

I think it's likely because of Batista's actual experience with lifting, he can tell who is legit and who is full of crap.

[@jadengonsalves1333]

That’s because the trainer from this video trains Olympia competitors like Terrence Ruffin. He’s very knowledgable, his youtube is Hypertrophy Coach

[@SkarrGaming]

Bautista > The Rock. I don't care much for WWE stuff but as far as the acting goes, Bautista is far better. Unlike The Rock he actually seems to take on different, more interesting roles whereas Dwayne just plays the same character in every film he is in.

[@CobaltMilsim]

I agree, I feel like the rock just plays himself in every movie he's in.

[@JackgarPrime]

The best way I could describe it is that Bautista is an actor, and Rock is a movie star. Rock's actual acting ability isn't the draw, it's that he has a big name and is extremely photogenic. Bautista, on the other hand, while also being a big name and looks cool on screen, is someone you get when you want more of a proper performance. Especially if there are some character subtleties you want to get across. Even as Drax, an obviously extremely over-the-top literal comic book character, he was able to bring a lot of subtext in his performance, strong, but subdued emotional beats, all those sorts of things that can create dimensions to such an exaggerated character. Being able to take a character like that from "haha funny comic relief" but adding enough to show that no, there's actually a lot more going on with this guy, is a talent between the writers, directors, and actors, and not something I think is as much in Rock's skillset.

[@MrBeckenhimself]

The same is true for Ryan Reynolds but nobody wants to admit that. He also plays the same character over and over again. But Yes Batista is a better actor than Dwayne.

[@elen5871]

he was the best thing about blade runner 2049 and he was only in it for a few minutes. acted his shrivelled lil nuts off.

[@Etat7]

@@MrBeckenhimself You're 100% right but also kind of missing what I feel is how most people feel about Reynolds. Before Deadpool all I ever heard was that he was the same character in everything, genuinely likeable and funny but very one dimensional. So what did he do? Went and claimed the IP that's essentially a super hero personification of his personality. Reynolds is born to be Deadpool, up until then I heard MANY people say he was overrated and one dimensional, but that's just my experience with it. My friend/colleague circle could have been way different than yours. And yeah Dave smokes the rock in acting lol.

[@ChrisLott-p2r]

Not sure what i love most about this video. The tips, Dave being all around amazing, or the mike shitting on v shred.

[@Asperion27]

Always loved Bautista's hulking physique as a kid watching WWE. It's only gotten better since!

How so? He's not nearly as big now as he was then...your comment makes absolutely no sense.

[@himeshsinghshishodiya]

Maybe they like the smaller physique more? Since it isn't "too big"? I could be wrong.

[@Asperion27]

Definitely true, I didn't add enough context. I like his proportions more now than before. Not as hulking, but I like it better personally
