[@BadwulfGrey-ef2zj]

People won't admit the truth about PEDs. Its not that they super charge your workouts - they raise your baseline muscularity. This is why things like the traps and such grow - muscles that you might not even work normally. They did a study where people literally doing nothing gained more muscle then people working out - provided they were on roids. Of course if you lift and do steroids there is an additive effect. You get the gains you would have made lifting and the gains that you get from starting in a much better place.

[@Bale4Bond]

@@Fr0gSplashh Once Marco Pierre White (three Michelin stars and Ramsay's teacher) realized that he couldn't uphold the standard of his restaurants, due to not being able to cook in them simultaneously, he showed integrity by taking his name of those restaurants and handing back his stars and pretty much retiring from that point forward. It is sadly common for most celebrity chefs to plaster their names onto restaurant, but that just shows a lack of class and respect for the craft.

[@Fr0gSplashh]

@@Bale4Bond At the end of the day it's just business. They're just building a bigger cash cow for their companies. That's how the world works. If the executive chef is good enough to have stars, he'll get stars. If he's good enough to keep them, he'll keep them. Eugénie Brazier was the first person to ever get 3 stars. Guess what ? She actually had 6 stars, because already back then, 70 years from now, she had multiple restaurants. Robuchon and Bocuse did it. Ducasse still has 17 stars to his name. They're legendary french chefs. Would you dare say the very guys who created the legend don't respect the craft ?

"Peak nonsense" very accurately describes sooooo much of the bs nowadays that we see online. Well said sir

[@xxz3phyr88xxs9]

I was in a program for kinesiology where you could get NASM certified alongside the coursework and one of the things they pushed was upper cross syndrome and corrective exercise. They showed pictures of gamers and people with “neck problems and postural deficiencies” that needed to be corrected by targeted stretching and strengthening. One of the things they mentioned were these peoples’ inability to stand up straight. I called bullshit in class and, admittedly anecdotally, referenced my time in the military as an example why it was nonsense. I’ve seen so many people of all ages who would qualify under NASM’s criteria for upper crossed syndrome jump to absolute attention when a Colonel walks in the room. Postural issues immediately disappear. Anyway, I stopped chasing that degree path.

[@Bdavis2475]

It only took me 3 days to get nasm certified

[@Novafan]

yeah things like kinesiology really are all up to the teachers and school in how up to date and how little bullshit will be in there

[@helentran]

I think these things are generally about teaching awareness not necessarily capability. Like, for sure, if you did a bunch of stuff with your neck and thought, "Hey, I'm going to stand up straight from now on," you definitely stand-up straight. Of course, they just leave out that you could simply decide to do that at any point in time and that would be far more efficient. 😂

[@Scoobings720]

As a new PT, I came to the comments to read what people were saying about this because I found it pretty puzzling. He mischaracterizes the entire concept pretty blatantly. How it was taught to me, and how I treat my patients who do in fact stand in an upper crossed posture... it's not that they CAN'T move out of that posture it's that they DON'T. The exercises are there to get them to break those patterns, and to adjust passive tension in the muscles. So it's not's that your pecs are "on" it's that they've got greater passive tension from staying in a shorter position relative to the lengthened postural muscles. Could you fix your posture by just having better posture? Yeah! and I try to teach them to do that too. But acting like upper crossed syndrome isn't a real thing is just... very confusing because I see it literally every day in my patients. Maybe the difference is he's talking about athletes and healthy people and I'm seeing pathological cases I suppose. I dunno. But even in my short time as a PT I've seen tons of cases of upper crossed posture.

I know from a physical standpoint, in nose and out mouth is worthless. But, and only for me(not advocating anything) it's always helped me focus. While useless physically, the act of forcing your thoughts to the "front" has helped me tremendously in various situations. Whether it's de-escalation of something, being 40ft up w/o a harness (my job), adrenaline dumps(when in the Army / EMS), and so on. It sort of forces an individual to be wholly present, and that presence allows you to keep from spiraling or w/e else. Again - just for me. I use it all the time. I'd wager that as this point, some of it is just placebo for me.

[@Flipflop437]

As someone who only seriously started weight training about 1 year ago, Dr. Mike’s videos have been an absolutely amazing resource to help cut through the BS in the fitness world. Without an actually knowledgeable resource like Dr. Mike, fitness/dieting seems so confusing. I still have a lot to learn about weight training, but I’ve discovered that the basics are really not that complicated. Eat enough protein. Don’t eat too many or too few calories. Use good technique. Stick to exercises that can be progressively overloaded. Rest and recover so you can improve next session. Pretty logical stuff tbh. But casual gym goers see stuff like these Hollywood training videos, and you just assume that an actor who makes tens of millions of dollars for looking attractive on TV would use an effective training program. Apparently not. It’s just “chicken, broccoli, rice” and a whole lot of PEDs off screen.

[@TheActualSage]

I'm right there with you. I started 8 months ago. A lot of this exercise science bs is great critical thinking practice. If you're training your front delts why would you want to be limited by an uneven base? Makes complete sense when you think about it. So happy he puts this stuff out there.

[@NotaNazgul]

Well. I am sure this is a great expert on hypertrophy. For staying healthy and functional, I would more look into other sources. Like yoga, functional fitness, pranayama, swimming, kettlebells, you know. That woowoo bullshit that, if you widen your view more than angry expert, trains your balance, makes you move well, lets you use your strength in good posture in unpracticed scenarios. That "endless warmup" is just a great session for overall fitness. And breathing techniques, as science more and more confirms the "new wave woowoo" and old teachings, are some of the strongest means to controll our mind (see huberman labs for some research podcasts). Hypertrophy is just one stone in the wall of your health and happiness. Have fun training!

[@clamdigger1602]

@@NotaNazgul No one's bashing warming up. They're criticizing these ridiculous exercises and movement choices. The exercises he chose for a "warmup" were borderline humiliating/demeaning, they were so nonsensical. Also, if you're training an actor to be "fit" for a movie, you're training their physique. The studio doesn't care about their balance or posture or cardio. They want a jacked dude to show up super lean and starving for filming. That's bodybuilding/conditioning, which is what Dr. Mike is an expert in. None of this work is optimal for hypertrophy - hence the criticisms.

[@patrickokeeffe4787]

​@@clamdigger1602I agree with the warm-up...a bit overkill and it shouldn't be demanding and taxing or ridiculous. Being an older guy with injuries and who only use kettlebells for fitness, I just move the joints to lube them. Things like shoulders rolls, prying squats, hip, wrist and ankle rotations ect. Usually about 5 mins from head to toes and I'm done. I like the concept of just doing a few reps of the exercise that you are doing too with light weight when i was doing barbell work. We have to be practical too and understand that we may be called upon to use all our strength without a warm up in a life situation. As an older guy also, the single DL is an important exercise. It would be funny if you are able to DL 300lbs but you can't put your pants on standing up! I dunno why they need a band on not uses a kettlebell/dumbell though. Can't understand either why they do barbell press when they have access to a bench and a whole gym. I don't have access and I wouldn't even use the kettlebell for a floor press. I prefer a standing press with bands. You get a super stretch and you have to engage the whole body to keep you stable. I think that was a very poor workout and it's hard to see how Mark got his body from that....he must be genetically gifted.

[@NotaNazgul]

@@clamdigger1602 I partially agree. But your assumptions about the requirements for stars are totally wrong. Many of them are educated in dance, ballet and such. They move graciously, with little effort, only balance can do that. If they had the stiff back of 50 years old who only focuses on hypertrophy, they would look and move clumsy. Not attractive.

​@@opabiniaregalis6197 Lordosis, Kyphosis, the famous forward head or "nerd posture", etc. They're all real. Pelvic tilt -posterior or anterior, rounded spine, an inability to maintain your lombar spine or cervicals upright because of a lack of mobility (often caused by years of a sedentaty lifestyle) or muscle atrophy in the posterior chain. Here's your usual suspects for a why. Different causes and different solutions for different postural problems. But they're all real for sure.

[@YunisRajab]

@@opabiniaregalis6197 I'd define as posture that makes you continuously get shorter as you arch more and more OR posture that's causing pain anywhere. Other than those two measurable issues it doesn't matter what you look like

I love the last shot where he's pushing the Torque Tank with a bunch of people on it... unlike a sled that relies on weight to generate friction, resistance on the Tank doesn't increase with the the load placed on it, it is controlled by magnetic resistance.

[@AlexS_983]

I've run the push/pull split as you described it here and I loved it, but almost no one makes content about how to construct those splits or even brings them up as a viable option. Would love to see a video where you train someone on a split like that, although I know it's probably not that common

[@ThaKKatt]

I've even seen it called flexion/extension split, which is an interesting way to look at it I think

[@zarante5640]

you could probably find more info on it as just high frequency full body, which it technically is depending on the definition of “full body”

[@epruno3583]

Yeah I love a deadlift/hamstrings and shoulder day. The deadlift helps my shoulders feel more open and.stable, and I get to work again my back, quads and other pushing muscles a little bit.

Works great for me who can only do a maximum of 4 gym sessions every week. You hit the whole body twice and can get pretty good exercise variety as well. Fantastic.

[@ericwoodard5706]

So grateful for Dr. Mike's comments regarding posture. This was all new information for me, but I never understood the old explanations since I have a much more developed back but still horrible posture. And it always seemed like chefs, etc. would have that syndrome that everyone attributes to texting - but the many chefs I know (worked in restaurants forever) were always looking down and always had great posture (and very healthy egos 😆).

maybe chefs have good posture cuz if they dont their back starts to hurt so they pay attention to it? idk

[@IP1kachuI]

5:25 this is interesting, because when i'm running or sparring i find that actively focusing on my breathing (and controlling it manually instead of letting my body do whatever, especially when running) helps my cardio immensely. it's not even a tiny difference, when I focus on my breathing in sparring i'm able to go almost twice as many rounds before fatigue sets in. so i'm guessing you mean breathing techniques like breathing in on the way down in a bench press and breathing out when going up? I'm a bit confused here. thanks a lot if anyone could clarify

I went into the Marines at 19, 142 lbs, unable to do 25 pushups. Came out of boot camp 3 months later 200 lbs and could push for 4 hrs. Once i got into my actual unit, everyone was super fit and muscular. We'd hit the gym for PT instead of the other useless crap other platoons were doing. Its what got me into fitness in the first place!

[@zHop3]

@@soulus25 curious what years did you serve? I was army 2017-2022. I was super skinny when I joined and got into decent shape during my time. However when comparing it to the progress made training myself in the gym it’s a complete joke. Take an average joe and have them train consistently in the gym for 5 years they will look way better and be way stronger than the average soldier doing PT.

Not US military, but where I served the physical training was also a bunch of bs. I wonder why they let that fly considering the physical capability of a soldier is detrimental for any mission.

I am a therapist and while I enjoy your content I can say that I've treated many people with very weak posterior chain and many types of pain and furthermore I have seen adaptive shortening of antagonistic muscle groups.

Hey Mike. I'm wondering, you often talk about doing the exercise itself lightly as a warmup. I often found with squats that mobility was a bit of a limiting factor for me and that mobility warmups helped me keep good form. I'm wondering what's your perspective on mobility drills before a workout?

I am not Mike but if its working for you to get the mobility you need it cant be a bad thing

Any specific video you watched from him regarding stretching??

​@@alexc7789 with "stretching" i mean stretch under load, not stretching routine before the exercise but rather the exercise itself. No, i dont remember a specific video, but he talks about it a lot

[@CptnBillHarris]

Yup. I always had issues with my hips and lower back. Stretching did alleviate it but turns out lowering the weight enough that I could Squat to full depth rather than half squatting and then building the weight back up has done more to permanently fix any stiffness I was dealing with.
