STILL NOT GROWING? THIS IS WHY | MIKE VAN WYCK

[@WYCKEDTRAINING]

No shade to the hikers and kayakers. 😂

[@paulisacrazyfreak101]

Fuck bro the hiker comment....in defence of the part time bodybuilders/hikers I think it's good to realise that if bodybuilding isn't going to be a career, other hobbies out of the walls of the gym are important for mental health and ultimately longevity in a bodybuilding lifestyle. It's a long lonely road and a career only the elite will make money from...not all your listeners are ifbb pros. I agree with everything your saying, I'm sure you've ranted before about it but the biggest thing I've seen in gyms that has changed effort levels is mobile phone use

I love it giving it straight with no chaser now if that’s not motivation 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@chip2th]

can you do a video on how to train if you are 170lbs or beginner? Everybody says just do barbell 5x5 on the squat deadlift bench and chins for example. i’m curious your opinion

[@mattharwood1347]

This video isn’t just about bodybuilding, it’s life advice. People are accustomed to trying to find the easier way, instead of just putting the work in.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Amen. To that

[@conniecleary3257]

I appreciate these educational rants. I use them to check myself and remind myself of where I am. Thanks

[@johnnyryerson3661]

Man your rants are the best. Always makes me chuckle. Appreciate all the tips and insights. I have incorporated as much as I can and it has helped tremendously. I am 41 and have been training since 15 and you are helping me to continue learning.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Awesome to hear Johnny

“This is the bar for some people” - so freaking true.

“Bodybuilding is a marathon… not a sprint “. I tell people that all the time ! It’s a lifestyle! Love the rant brother !

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Thanks Ruben

[@jeffbruni2177]

It's a year old....but thank God man. This is why I love it. I'm 38 and I still after it, do the work, then bs or go home. Drives me up a wall all the exact things you said. My local gripe is the pajama wearing broccoli haired guys who crowd 6 guys to a piece of equipment for 2 hours and do 0 lifting🤬 keeping dropping your great vids man! Stay big!

[@douglasachaiba7885]

Tell them Mike ..... No substitute for hard work

[@morrislewis4241]

Hey Mike love the videos as a 50+ year old trying to add muscle you videos help a lot. Keep speaking your truth ppl are benefiting from your knowledge....thanks

Truth is all I know Morris

Totally agree mate I’m same age as you and totally agree with you, think he’s a top bloke

[@Reddog08]

Originally from Rhode Island myself, miss the days of grimmey gyms. Mike's no bullshit attitude hits it home for me. Well done

[@mangoMango-ck3et]

Mike,,the best advice anywhere,,,this rant needs to be put on the loud-speaker, and blasted thru all the Bodybuilding Gyms around the planet,,,,,translated obviously...keep em coming..

[@noobcannon826]

Absolute OG in the game, been a pleasure watching all these videos 💯💯

[@transam2002ws6]

All I hear is this man preaching the cold hard truth.

[@klb1718]

Lol. "Hamstrings flat as a board" Yo!! Big Mike I appreciate your candor. F*ck the outside noise!!! I f*cking love the rants. 😂 People rather go to the gym to be seen and don't want to put in the work!!

[@christopherbobin4268]

... "The idea is that this is to become normal to you" ... another great Wyck-ism! Your rant is justified: we live in a world of "hacks" e.g. there's some "secret" short cut to success, be it body building or otherwise. I find that if I don't fear the next set, I'm not setting the goal high enough. There is no hack; and failure is only a learning experience.

[@oldsoulabode]

Great point.

[@joshuaschultz4666]

Love this fucking dude! Tells it like it is, just get in and fucking train! Keep the videos comin man!

[@mrbecker187]

Bro😂💀..this was the funniest, most honest, and spot on shit I’ve heard in a while..I remember the good old days where you got kicked out of the gym if you wore a wife beater and weighed less than 200lbs lol

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Need to bring that back.

[@thehubcitydon]

This is the best bodybuilding/fitness video I’ve ever fucking seen! Straight facts and knowledge!

[@brysonstiller5654]

Big Mike is the best everyone should take something from this hard work is just doing the work and to be your best for you not someone else

[@carlosmantilla4018]

Total and complete RESPECT!

[@chrislockhart3585]

Mike your the best man !!!!... we think exactly alike....my favorite are the guy that wear long tights under their shorts ....the shit is ridiculous...it's like a fashion show or something here in Las Vegas NV. Please keep pumping out your amazing content ...it has helped me greatly.

[@haydenbridges9674]

Love this dude philosophy when it comes to training, so genuine! Keeping do what you do Mike we here for it 👏🏻

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Thanks Hayden

[@diabloblanco5737]

Brother your mindset, advice and practical demonstrations of how the body moves in order to better understand how to apply that to working form is outstanding. I found you a week ago and I’ve ran through your whole playlist and begun applying your techniques. I’ve been in the gym 20 years and I was guilty of some of the technique flaws you mention. Great stuff man and thanks 👍🏻

[@jamesrice3438]

I learned more from your rant than I knew before and as a result I have built more muscle. And if I don't sweat and pull that limit increase it doesn't feel like I worked the next day.

[@HSIathletics]

“Wrong. Don’t make it easier at the bottom. Leave it hard.” Lmao 🤣 I know that line catapulted someone into an all out hissy fit

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Oh for sure lol.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Appreciate that. Happy I could help

[@shaantewari6178]

Mike I have been working out for about 3 years now and your videos have helped me so much. I love your views on bodybuilding. Keep doing you and scew everyone who cant see the point your trying to get across becaue they are too focused on how their feelings are hurt. Not everyone has a sense of humor but thats their loss.

Nothing but respect for you brother. You're giving out wisdom and knowledge and it's awesome.

[@maxbyrd727]

Love it. People always have to troll feeling emotionally safe these day behind a keyboard feel insecure. Keep up the good work the ones that follow ur lead and appreciate ur logic are here! Unfortunately u have a generation coming into the light that want short cuts and things handed to them.

[@venom07786]

Every set is an opportunity to push past prior limitations and move into something more than I could do yesterday.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Precisely

[@dnafitnesslabz1819]

Love the honest words

"F" bro I love it. That's the old school gym mentality. Get in, do the work, nothing about it is going to be easy. The suffering though it, is the best part! 😆

It’s coming for sure

[@jasclarke9443]

Fully agree with you on this I go to the gym to train but have to wait for most people to get off there phone or to have half hour conversation’s while sitting on the machine I want to use. It’s not cool some of us just want to do the work and go

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Bingo.

[@donyellmcgee8236]

Listening to your valid information and I gym rants are SPOT ON! The gyms of today are like a social event versus reaching your goals to have a healthy and good looking physical body. The trainers of today are worse than their clients meaning why are you laying down on mat with your client on the phone while they're doing sit-ups?????? OMG....

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Trainers now a days are worth a shit. There are some great one still don’t get me wrong but majority just want to bullshit and hang out

[@mattspencer6154]

I love it. A friend of mine took it as disrespect. Some people just don’t know what it takes, thinks it’s easy, and does the typical bullshit. I’m gonna have salads and “sugar free” drinks. Lol. Then lifting heavy dumbbells like that’s gonna do anything but hurt your joints and tendons.

[@Madchris8828]

This video is fantastic. I appreciate the valuable criticism and the great info. I’m not the biggest dude, but I’m putting in work and have gained some muscle after realizing I was training like an idiot for a while 😂. Good stuff Mike as usual

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Thanks Chris

[@paulhiggins8634]

Another great video 👍 i actually laughed out loud concerning bands 😂. If I lived in Canada and wanted a coach it would be big Mike 💪🏻

This video will be the ultimate motivation for me from now on. I learn a lot from you man and i am trying to aplly what i have learned on my sessions. Thank you so much. Greatings from Turkiye.

[@tomcurtin7558]

Before anyone comments on my comment. I’ve been 240 with abs and im 5’11 . Im 31 been training since 17. Worked out 10 years on Long Island worlds gym with Dave palumbo and alot of real big guys. Grew up around them. We trained similar to branch and Ronnie. Very very heavy .. not the best form but always did 5-10 reps but real fucking heavy. 45 min . Zero talking. Almost throwing up. Grunting , yelling , bar bending weight. I stumbled along Mike and have been watching his video and I have changed how I worked out. I think the branch heavy / okish form is great style to build a solid core and base. Once you have that power and core this style of training is far superior . I’ve been lifting heavy for a decade , never hurt myself always got a good sweat and knew how to lift . over the last 4 months I have lowered the weights let’s say 315 every week for 5-6 incline press to 185-225 focus on form .. 10-15 reps , locked lat , head back push away. I have never had a chest pump like that in over a decade old lifting. Side delts- I used to do 40-50 easily for reps with pretty good form .. my delts would hurt for 1-2 day . I switched it up , caved in chest , shoulders over hips , throwing the weight out , with shoulder rolled forward . I did 20 lbs for like 3 sets for 12 . My delts were sore for literally 10 days. I think mikes football heavy training and my heavy training was a good base for beginners and I would recommended getting a good solid core . 5 sets - 5 reps - style and 1-2-3 year later do this style and you’ll be a killer PS I worked out 6 years before I did a cycle and I only did one cycle . 500mg of test for 12 weeks to break through a Plato All the young kids work out for a while before messing with peds . Mike keep up the good work , it was eye opening for me , and fuck everyone with an opinion. Your trainers need trainers. I work out in boca raton LA fitness. I see 155 lb trainers doing some of the most ridiculously Shit I’ve ever see. And everyone stay off your fucking phones at the gym , no one gives a fuck , no one’s impressed with a 225 back row. Who are the workout video for ??? And 16 year olds stop trying to deadlift 315 for 1.
