[@sirloin17]

The comment section is already repeating every comment from the last Cbum video.

[@dexterm2003]

I do physical queuing for myself on some exercises like single arm triceps extensions to help focus on the isometiric hold muscles that stabilize the movement. IE I hold my lat so that I can better focus on the stretch of the bicep and not allow my scapula to float and take emphasis off the the triceps. I agree that touching the contracting muscle does very little most of the time unless someone is new to an exercise and is struggling to connect with the movement.

Added one arm cable rows to my back training with a super crazy stretch at the bottom and it has been AMAZING. I get crazy sore throughout my back and it is crazy to find the very bottom of your lat insertion and be able to target nearly the entire back. I am going to be doing more single arm back exercises for sure.

[@keiths6639]

Yo Dr Mike ! I broke my wrist recently and can’t train upper body for the time being and want to know what’s the best way to maintain my muscle in my upper body during this period ? If you and that smooth head of your could make a video on that, that would be splendid 😊

[@322aareyn]

buy some cuffs that you can place around your forearm and you can still do a bunch of upper body exercises. Basically takes the wrists and hands out of it

[@Bdavis2475]

Maintain high protein and maintenance calories

[@utkarsh2746]

Is swimming possible for you?

[@mikkelholst96]

You know those wraps/straps that people put on their ankle for cable kick backs? you could try and strap those just above your elbow and attach them to cable machines and such, which allows for doing a variety of pull and push exercises on those without putting strain on your wrist. obviously, the load won't be as heavy and the stimulation for biceps and triceps is quite low but it's still an alternative.

[@Ouopa.]

Riddle me this... 7:27 if forced reps are a bad idea, then why would partials 10:51 be any different? For the same reasons that Mike explained about tracking progression and fatigue.

[@darrellgrant7615]

He said he liked the partials because they were partials in the bottom stretched position which is the area that produces the most growth. As far as tracking yes it’s the same problem.

[@GrosseBrueste]

[@BradfordElliott-z3y]

I like Dr. Mike's recommendations, but Hany Rambod has 24 Mr. Olympia championship wins as a trainer. Unless Dr. Mike can produce that many championships, I think I will keep using Hany's training techniques. It's kinda like a physics major teaching Michael Jordan how to play basketball. 😮

[@jaijaiwanted]

Bro ask Hany to explain half the shit he does with his clients in the gym. You may be disappointed, he’s not a god, humans have all sorts of biases errors that make us extremely inaccurate, that’s exactly why the scientific process is a must.

[@BradfordElliott-z3y]

@jaijaiwanted I agree that he's not a God. I also agree that people make mistakes and aren't perfect. But his record still stands. I can't make that up. Nick Saban won the most national college football wins, however he is not perfect. The good thing about life is the fact that perfectness is not required to be good at something. Records speak for themselves. I'm just the messenger. Please don't shoot me.

[@msa7933]

You should use Hany's teachings. Assuming that your genetics for building muscles is better than 99.99 percent of the population and you're abusing steroids every day.

It's nice seeing a pro bodybuilder using controlled eccentrics and a deep stretch. CBum has great technique and if you were new to lifting, he'd be a good person to model your technique after. I like Jay Cutler and you can't take anything away from him, but he's not a great example of good technique and I see a lot of people in the gym lifting like him lol.

[@lecobra418]

Yeah sure. But you gotta admit it's completely S T U P I D to put Cbum in a cambered bar machine only to put his hand on his chest making it impossible to go to full depth and completely destroy the purpose of the cambered bar. :)

@@lecobra418 you have no idea what his intentions were there...Hany routinely puts his hands on his clients chest to feel the body part working...in fact everyone I've seen post a video while working with Hany have said it's the best workout they've had...how many people have said that about RP (sure they say it's hard but yet to hear anything about it being the best).

Dr Mike, I tore the clavicular portion of my pec major 3 years ago. Time of injury to repair was 4 months bc the doctors sucked and couldn’t figure out what I’d actually done since the sternal portion remained. Due to muscle atrophy it feels like the muscle is still shorter than it should be, that said I feel strong enough to finally bench again. Problem is the other parts of my pec call me a sissy when I’m over here benching a plate and less, what’s more is I feel like I’ve done nothing afterward. What can I do to re- develop this muscle? I won’t be giving up but injuring it again is something I wanna avoid. Thanks man love yalls content
