Man I love these videos. Honestly just want more and a full unedited raw footage version. Something so satisfying just watching Dr. Mike train and talk with no music or special effects or anything.

[@Ice-Sik-ill]

Love this dudes sense of humor, always have. What a fucking legend though

[@ParvParashar]

Absolutely loved the video! It’s thoroughly entertaining and informative from start to finish. Dr. Mike is truly amusing. 🙌

[@nickybjammin7629]

Dude those lunges were straight up bad ass! monster lunges, well I know what I’m doing after all my squat routines now. I’m gonna throw em out there too. Notice how he barely clips…. there’s probably no clip in this whole video. I can’t edit, but I need to step up my game. I study the hell out’a Mike, not just for my physical health and badassery LOL

[@ParvParashar]

⁠@@nickybjammin7629I truly love Dr. Mike’s approach to lower body training. Doing bodyweight lunges after heavy compound movements such as squats and leg presses is a great idea. Bodyweight lunges at the end of the workout provides amazing stimulus to the quads and glutes while causing minimal amount of fatigue. It provides incredible pump too. I also started incorporating lunges and split squats after my primary squat movement. Though I use dumbbells with my lunges because I’m not as strong as Dr. Mike so my primary squat movement doesn’t cause too much systemic fatigue which allows me preserve enough energy to use light dumbbells with lunges. Dr. Mike is definitely someone who inspires me to work hard consistently. He’s my go-to guy for training and nutrition related information.

[@lodaboul1]

3-6 exercises 4-5 sets for your main. 3-4 sets for your accessories. ,High intensity with moderate weight, throw tempos in there 4 seconds up 4 seconds down. Time under tension is very important. Rep range 8-16 reps. Supersets. Keep workouts around 60-75 mins. Anabolic window. Always do some sort of activity on your rest days walking , swimming etc... for faster recovery and to combat soreness. Make sure you are fueling your body properly with a good diet. Plenty of rest. And allow at least 48-72 hours between leg days.

What's worse is he actually went to Ohio which is where the gym was. He probably has already committed multiple acts of vehicular accidents because of stray typhoons made by his multiple lamborghinis following behind him.

The secret is to just train them…

[@Jack-e5t]

Wow earth shattering tell me more

[@LatimusChadimus]

Your statement is incomplete, you forgot to mention that it has to be frequent, it has to be consistent, and of course there has to be both moderate and high intensity days

[@movestattoo4561]

@@LatimusChadimusehh not quite true. Frequent? Once a week is fine, consistent? Absolutely. And theres no need to switch between intensities if you don’t specifically want to.

[@LatimusChadimus]

@@movestattoo4561 to prevent burnout, and the need for a deload, yes, regulate intensity. Building the base is important and yes once a week is A frequency, but often times not enough. Consistently doing legs twice as month is A frequency yet also isn't enough. 2-3 times a week is best unless you play a field sport, then once a week strength training legs is enough. Squats are a skill and need higher frequency. The intensity can remain moderate until the skill moves towards needing maintained, then 1-2 x a week is sufficient yet folks skip legs so much that they need to up their frequency

[@Sonic_1000]

For forearms I do standing, heavy dumbbells, at my sides, and let the dumbbells roll to my fingertips and repeat until failure.

[@Thistooshallpass2]

The advice about getting hurt fuckin hit hard.. I got hurt once fucked knee up doing rom. straight leg dl. One leg though it was doing just a strait leg the other rom. And have never been the same since another time I was hitting a new pr bar bell squats and I dropped weight on hand ripping .y skinny off two fingers ( I mean I wrapped that shit up and continued workout ,cause this girl don't waist pre workout.. but have been scared to.push it ever since.. you are by far my fav muscle.head coach..lmao. and I watch everyone.! Thanks .. I'll now stop being a scared puzzy

[@gagedouglas5618]

Train anything frequently enough at any level and you’ll see progress

[@patrickploenzke489]

No way. Thats only a couple hours away. I have to go down and stand where Dr. Mike did.

I thought it would be a good idea to just listen to the audio of this while I did something else> I might as well just been listening too... Let's just say the audio alone is rather disturbing.

[@JoeJ_503]

Been there

[@Procharmo]

No. The secret is not to lock out at the top, no rest. This is what he is missing and what Neckzilla and Quadzilla did for years 🏋🏽‍♂️🏋🏽‍♂️🏋🏽‍♂️

[@NGUJZ]

Exactly what I needed going into Fall/Winter training.

Also climbing. I've never gotten a crazier forearm pump than in a bouldering gym. 10:50

Secret to training legs? He started with some activation warm up exercise, continued with lower back and did one superset for legs. Why does the title say that?

[@smith-fittraining2769]

Same for me on hinge movements, sore for 3-4 days

[@FN-Alpha-YT]

love this guy

[@evan3678]

Come to Dayton I wanna smell it

[@danielsadler4979]

I typically don’t train forearms directly I just use dumbbells and straight bar for shrugs and just go as long as you can hold. Lots of deadlifts and rows. My fingers would open slowly like a 1 minute negative and I would always try to curl again until I slipped my grip or felt sick. But I could hold 500+ at the top for 10 seconds at 170lbs lol I’m going to start more training with them though. I used to ride bmx and chop wood as a kid so I’ve always had great grip

[@Dewraxu]

Why are you not using an exercise with full ROM for the forearm? I mean i get you stretch your fingers a bit, but you could load it more in the dorsal fleksion direction, just curious. You just mention the muscle need to be stretched under load? Btw great video 😊

[@Justmyopinion761]

Mike makes the best faces ever

[@leila1662]

Full ROM shit talker. Love it

[@LaurenR187]

I did a lot of sprinting and jumping in high school so my quads and calves are huge and fairly strong even after a quad tear my junior year. Trying to get other muscles to grow, not super easy. The strength is coming along, there’s just not much that’s visible. Maybe that’s because I’m a female???

[@bagelman2634]

Women have a much easier time growing legs compared to upper body, so that’s probably it.

[@godly_strong]

The most insightful and funniest dude in the Iron game! Scientist and Comedian in one!

[@ryanboyce3365]

Are good mornings a similar movement to stiff leg deadlifts just with the weight on your back?

[@felixgohler3533]

Yes,both are hip hinges.

[@russellmuscle7434]

[@PatrickKinney-w5i]

Mike do those finger to wrist curl with a bar standing. You're missing out

[@Yupppi]

It's somehow insane to watch someone train isolated forearms and make gnarly faces. Like Dr. Mike said, you learn quickly there's whole another level to training (and being jacked). And I must say, Dr. Mike's "Jewish noises" are probably the funniest comedic expression. And let's be fair Tate's remarks are great match to Mike's jokes. Also Dr. Mike with long t-shirt reminds me of my grandma. If she was a bald man with legs the size of a teenager.
