THE MINDSET SHIFT THAT TURNED MY WEAKNESSES INTO STRENGTHS | MIKE VAN WYCK

[@mattjohnson8972]

“With half the work and half the genetics”😂

[@joejoenata]

I cant believe how much my back has changed and developed since finding Mike a year or so ago. Biggest thing is full range of motion, fully opening your lat and keeping shoulder locked down, initiate movement with elbow crack. Oh and weight on your feet to keep your arch locked. Lets not forget head position. Mike is the GOAT.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Thanks for the videos. At 56 yrs old, never had a gym membership in my life, not touched a weight in years, spent a year doing everything wrong. Went from 14" arm to 14 1/4" after a year of hard work but not smart work. BUT NOW, after a year watching your channel now have 15 1/2" arms, less body fat, bigger thighs.... Nothing big in the world of 20" arms but made me happy. Thanks 👍

[@orlandotorres359]

The realest Guy in the game. Want to just say thank you for all the advice you give and even more how you keep it real.

[@zackbutler950]

Your brutal honesty is such a relief lol.

[@tazdingod3001]

The intro is pure gold. Thank you Mike.

[@justinmetts647]

Legit best intro ever.

[@tonyK_72]

Mike is the one true god. Im probably only getting about 20% of his advice right, but last night I felt every part of my back like never before, would call it even a pump. And I did it with bands. Fairly light bands. (you definitely cant have an ego playing with brightly coloured rubber :) Unbelieveable. Used my actual back to pull properly, probably for the first time ever. Although he's very humble, Mike seems to be unique and I am inspired by his style, wisdom and approach. I find myself questioning everything even more, in all sorts of subjects. I find myself thinking "what would Mike do?" . God bless this man.

[@rsgski2777]

Keep these good videos coming. Mike has definitely changed the way I work out. Got to toss that ego out the door!

[@NicHasegawa]

Thanks to the shortcut channel, I now have bulging lats, a pair of tyrannosaurus traps, and have become a Dorian Yates in half the time AND half the genetics!! Thanks Mike from the Shortcut Channel!! I recommend 10/10

[@joelstork6989]

BEST INTRO EVER!!!!

[@donyellmcgee8236]

That's why I left deadlifts alone years ago because it was developing and strengthen my erectors and I had to abandon deadlifts and develop my lats and mid back with various exercises and the results were astounding after that!

[@Sonny1065LV]

I've learned so much on this channel, can't say thank you enough for the knowledge.

[@gordonwho]

Another master class from Mike! Something wycked this way comes!

[@iomegaprime2.087]

“My back needs to grow now I’m deadlifting twice a week” 🤣🤣. OASN I’ve learned to lighten the weight and focus on the movement and working the target muscle properly. My legs are tiny and I wish I had this information when I started lifting. Thanks for all you do Mike!!

[@Marvincoley-k9w]

It's amazing how less weight and the right form have made such a difference in my workout and muscle development. Mike I appreciate your videos and advice on form and the small things that make a big difference.

[@gporr7004]

I dropped the weight since watching him and my back today is sore as hell from about 6 sets of rows. Full extension opening my back. Huge difference

[@michaelmeyers4950]

This might be your best video ever. People need to see this!

[@brenden229]

the intro had me lol

[@robertmalet956]

Thank You for sharing your knowledge. I’m not a bodybuilder, just a middle aged guy with MS that has enjoyed lifting weights since childhood. I’ve learned more from binge watching your videos than ever before. You know a lot!! Thanks!!

[@MichaelJin74]

Great video. Always learning something and laughing at the same time. 😉

[@Whatacomedian_]

Coach mike preaching!🙏

[@daniellascozzi8429]

Are you on f"'king coke?!?! I'm weak 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 everytime I see one of the gymshark guys at the gym doing that I'll be thinking of that phrase 🤣🤣

[@TrainEatSleepRPT]

Imagine the amount of people that think that intro is serious 😂😂

[@stuappleby6571]

The barbell row demo looked so good! Made me rethink mine haha! Next back day a lot lighter and more bent over!! Another great video! 👌🏽

[@ivanvitanov7710]

Agree with every word you said , no brain no gain , Respect for spreading your knowledge and experience Mike much appreciated !

[@MattFlyFisher]

Excellent info as usual. Much appreciated. Angles of attack. Yessir

[@MamboJamboGamer]

Mike I just wanna say your channel is comical and informative and I have developed so much watching your videos and executing your exercises. Your lateral raises get me some funny looks in the gym but wow they have my shoulders on fire, can you please do a short video of what you do for front delt please? Keep these videos coming dude

[@bobbymcculley807]

Big mike teaches us the gospel all we have to do is listen

[@tofu-warrior7948]

Drop the weight, drop the ego and then you'll see results with consistent work performed correctly. I know the people that Myke is rightfully aiming this at because this is me. I've been doing stuff wrong for years and have an incomplete physique.

[@rubenkramers5222]

Great advice. Action Bronson looking good.

[@mikehammer2408]

It's a lost cause Mike. Only those who get it will reap the rewards. F the other 99%!!

[@TheBaitShopGuy]

8:45 holding a dumbbell in midair while curling the other dumbbell. I agree with Mike that the hold is dumb and a waste. Charles Atlas sold over a million of those static contraction/hold/isometric courses over 75 years ago and it didn't work to add muscle. So my point is F all extra holds with weights.

[@mike.jmcclain]

i do lateral raises hanging from the ceiling fan to keep the blood circulation to my delts

[@delmarmeadows3305]

Thanks coach

[@user-vc1lb6hb8z]

best bodybuilding channel

[@johnhansen6136]

You help me whit kne pain.. whit you rocking teknic whit leg training.. thanks brother 🙏

[@DoggMannTru]

😂 I love this channel so much now glad I found it.

[@LucasGage]

Dorian did his Yates rows at a higher angle which you demonstrated, but it wasn't to target the lower lats; I think he said it was more middle and upper back thickness.

[@halo2time]

“Tyrannosaurus Traps” 🤣😂lmao. Wycked wycked.

[@priceperez6058]

This intro kills me every time 😂

[@user-xs4rm1ti8f]

So glad you called this out. Too many zombies working out. Maybe a new shirt? Too many zombies not enough humans. ❤

[@codyschnuriger6743]

Too many zombies, period.

[@dmay4433]

I like how much trouble Mike had trying to do a bad dumbbell row. It still looked half-decent.

[@NAVEENCHAURASIYAA]

Coach mike giving gold nuggets

[@mikeduly248]

I respectfully disagree RE: cuff laterals. For me, since doing them in whatever variation, the size of my delts has increased a great deal, and my shoulders feels healthier. I can’t argue with those results, or those of Jordan Peters, Cuba C, Jamie the Giant’ etc. Just my personal opinion and preference

[@supersavage6260]

The Cinematic Intro Be Intense And Funny As Hell 😄

[@7mustang2011]

Hey can do a video on lower trap exercises. And watch y’all your videos . Can do a list of favorite Lower lat exercises and then your upper lat exercises

[@paulburgenstock9795]

Lol intro is so great!!!

[@bobbywoll7942]

This was a good one lol

[@nancap]

Still trying this technique trying to get it right

[@SXMSXTXN999]

“double ass back” 😂😂😂😂

[@stevestake6438]

Mike, I have never liked barbell rows. Will cable rows with a straight bar attachment hit the lat the same way?

[@omegaman_]

Hunter Labrada use’s wrist strap’s for lateral raises..😂

[@TruthFLA]

I haven't finished the video, So I don't know if he addresses this. But what about laterals within a functional trainer when you're standing. I know the laying down option is he described it is less than optimal but what about standing within a functional trainer?

[@DropshiRick]

This is the short cut channel 😂😂😂

[@stevenmyt7941]

need to drop your fitness app asap

[@Reddog08]

Are you on coce..... hahahahha love it. Don't know why people have to reinvent the friggin wheel.

[@TDZone70]

[@danielf6734]

[@thecastle09]

Obsession with variety caused by IG.

[@blakemoore1905]

The intro is so fucking funny

[@Vividproductions1]

Please keep this intro indefinitely

[@GPXironczech]

What are your thoughts on rack pulls?

[@theelement6255]

He just covered that in a video…I believe it was a short?

[@HarryHarrisonUK]

Not a fan of The Hypertrophy coach's Y raises with cable then?

[@cflargofan]

yeah i am on fucking coke mike what’s the problem it’s fucking amazing

[@Peter-ts4hs]

11:05 "If you have a poor back, don't make the part of your back that's actually developed better, MAKE THE SHIT PART GROW" 🤣 Mike's the best! "Make the shit part grow" merch coming?

[@ismailali53]

No bullshit

[@Undjetzt1]

666 👍! 😉

[@bnelski0257]

Why are all Mike’s videos sarcastic? It’s like he always pissy LOL😅😅😅😅

[@tofu-warrior7948]

Rightfully annoyed with seeing exercises done incorrectly for years and seeing alot of frustrated people not developing their physiques how they would like them.
