IS USING MOMENTUM CHEATING? | MIKE VAN WYCK

[@davidjohnstontrainin]

Sincerely, this might be the single most-valuable, smartest explanation of “proper lifting for hypertrophy” ever made- that I have ever seen in 20 years as a bodybuilder. I have been trying to explain this to clients for years- working as a trainer since 2004. All the kids criticizing Coleman, Cutler, Branch over the years- please see this video and take notes. Thank you, Mike, for putting this out and explaining it so eloquently.

[@LucasGage]

100% agree. Now I look at those pros training and see they are literally moving *with* their muscles, but I was always thinking they had bad form or are training "wrong." Ever since switching to Mike's "rocking" reps, I find not only do I feel the muscle better, it's also easier on the joints as well, and I don't need a fuck-ton of weight.

[@jacobbornowsky4013]

Exactly!! I’ve had similar thoughts for a while now but Big Mike has the words to explain it

[@tyd9458]

Nothing makes my day better than a 20 minute video from Mike! 💪🏽

[@toddlandess6845]

I have been attempting to switch to your way of lifting. Old habits are hard to break. But I have felt more in my back and chest than I ever have before. Thanks for passing on your knowledge!!!!

[@timyeates4866]

So glad I found this channel. I'm learning how to train effectively without hurting myself, yet still grow. And at 63, that's priceless. Thanks Mike.

[@mattadams6639]

The “Horrible Shit”, that I’ve learned to recognise through your amazing and intuitively shared knowledge, is absolutely everywhere…I was guilty of it and thanks to you my training has come on so much, thanks Mike heal soon 👊

[@theelement6255]

Facts. You see it all the time and it’s depressing 😂

[@telltheworldyourstory]

Wish I could train with Mike. The difference between "this is how you should be doing it" and "this is shit" are sometime subtle watching the video alone. I still wonder if I'm doing the movements correctly. Great channel, regardless.

[@juoutlaw1of15]

A 7 year old can have an outstanding understanding of what bigMike is describing.

[@sveneezy2059]

15:22 Glad to hear that I was doing something right. My knees into the kneepad sometimes made the machine lift but I was on the right path!

[@sk8rfromGA]

Mike...your ad libs while you're moving weight are killer. I spend half my time watching your videos rewinding because I laughed through some of your advice. I love your content. It's crazy informative.

[@jessebradford7130]

I've never seen or even knew that you could lift with grace. Talk about professional lifting.

[@KenanTurkiye]

1:15 onwards No wonder I get all sorts of upper back and neck pain when I use the seated chest supported row machine at the gym I go to, the thing has no where to place and dig your feet, so I just realized I was shoulder imbalanced when using it. Thank you Mike.

[@steffan952]

It's the concept of quality movement & connecting on muscle which has helped me so much

[@mikemarshall9157]

Ohhh my god I laughed so hard about the birth statement bro 😂😂😂😂. Ty for saying what most people think anyways Mike. Keep doing your thing we all love the content!

[@dobbzmotorsport3939]

Started working the triceps with the cable alternating overhead and bent over and the stimulus is unreal using your technique. This channel has helped me so much with the movements, now im just loading correctly and going to form failure. One of the best cues for the lat row machine is that downward pressure, so key for feeling the low lat. Cheers!

[@rawrmusic55]

Appreciate the thoughts as always, Mike. Hope the hip is feeling better/things are moving along. Wish ya the best and will continue to integrate your concepts into my workouts.

[@joshuaschultz4666]

This fucking guy cracks me up every video. Always lookin forward to the new gem drop of the day/week. Keep em comin Big Mike! 💪

[@TruthFLA]

This dude is pure gold

[@jonathangreen9077]

I started watching your channel a week or 2 ago after watching Johnni Shreve, and the amount of understanding I get from your content is gold. Thank you for doing this🤝💪

[@jasonleindecker815]

I look forward to watching your videos when they come out and you never disappoint. So much knowledge. Appreciate all the content you put out.

[@josebeltran3948]

Great advice bro.. I caught exactly what you’re saying about power through the feet

[@LJ-ed8os]

Awesome advice Mike! You’ve helped me understand movement and actually feel the lifts. Thank you! Also…that last part you said was hilarious 😂

[@dom5648]

The question that ive had but been confused about for the last 15 years has finally been answered.

[@pheonixx5322]

I wish I could train with you if even for only a couple minutes, your training method has helped me so much.

[@C-24-Brandan]

Appreciate the great advice and content you put out, your advice/tips have actually helped me a lot with a few exercises and the mind muscle connection

[@MuhdIsa]

Thats how u can differentiate between bodybuilding and powerlifting. He is ocean of knowledge, take out as much as you can from him.. Thanks Mike ❤ That 18 minute 27 seconds part of lats posing was literally awesome 😂😂

[@MrKratosin]

amazing video the tips are impressive thanks mike have a good recovery

[@DaniilIshchenko76]

Great, man! Thank you. Little hints that work in my gym with me and free me from the shit I was fed over the years. The last 5 seconds made me hysterical. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Awesome video!!! Absolutely, great workout at home without fancy machines. 95% of the guys of the world would love to look like Larry Scott.

[@elizabethdawkins5797]

Thanks Mike like always great advice ♥️

[@kenkungle5950]

I’ve been in bodybuilding ever since the late 80s and one thing it always bothered me was seeing people with attitudes I mean really who are you there to impress. It’s like a competition just in the gym.

[@kamacausey]

Big Mike, Always keep the conversation going!!!!

[@michaelbaca7155]

🙏🏻💪🏼👍💪🏼 🥇All I can say is Your philosophy is top notch and I wish this is something I would’ve incorporated when I was younger I am 48 now and with your method I have actually gotten bigger faster than I did when I was a young buck continue the great content, And please don’t stop making videos the rest of the world needs to see this and understand this type of philosophy and training method🙏🏻👍💪🏼👍🥇

[@fitness_mcgee6353]

A trainer at my gym, Patrick Diesel, really reminds me of you. When I told him that he laughed because you two have been friends since back in the Animal days

[@meganaguiar3163]

The ending tho 😂😂 but thank you for the great advice. So helpful 🙏🙏

[@muzzaanddrewsyoutubechanne7320]

Top man.. another very helpful video.

[@christopherbradshaw7054]

Mike is the new Rich. Love ya buddy!

[@klb1718]

Development of 14-year-old haha. Big Mike kills me!!😂

[@SXMSXTXN999]

“ i mean ARRRGH “ 😂😂😂 15:56

[@wendyn3256]

Love your content and love that tee you have on Mike!

[@donyellmcgee8236]

There are 2 former bodybuilders today that I know how to work out and move properly training is yours truly BIG Mike & Branden Ray. Look him up!

[@oppuss36]

Thank you for Good info 👍💪💪Roger 🇳🇴

[@johnjgrecojr6014]

I totally agree the misinformation that goes around is crazy , 😂😂😂 I seen exactly what u were talkin about other people tryin to tell someone else how to lift not even knowing what the hell they were doing. I shake my head a lot at the terrible form being performed

[@17jnewman]

Blocks under your feet will extend the machine so you can fully stretch before it bottoms out. Just make sure they're sturdy and not flimsy

[@edgarcovarrubias1012]

I love this guy 💪🏼🤣

[@anthonydelaroza7728]

You speaking all facts OG! You funny too bro! lmao

[@mikehammer2408]

Hell Yes 20 minutes of insults I love it

[@rubenvilla8863]

Another great video coach. Now how can we get one of those shirt please send info thanks again

[@kD_5555_]

[@amarkfitness]

[@aneldahattingh]

Love this channel👌

[@mateotahirovic9212]

This man is underrated

[@oldsoulabode]

If nothing else, today I learned that men can give birth.

[@brianhemmert9394]

As long as momentum gives me results!

[@justinskamanis9340]

Where can i get the clothes he wears? I'd love to get my hands on that wycked krispies shirt!

[@kelbaznouba695]

Best wyck🥇🎖🏅🏆👍💰👑our greetings from Algeria 🇩🇿

[@cadrillion]

These fkn guy’s “errrrrr” lol 😂

[@daryldelp8232]

Where do I find that tshirt?

[@clark650]

Anyone know what brand of shoes Mike is wearing in this video

[@matthewramos8314]

Such a silly funny man @15:54

[@Elde0002]

Lol... "wait till we get comments about that"

[@EMJ30034]

lmaoo 3:47 killed me

[@JNM9397]

I really want that shirt

[@eaglessixersfankeepingitre3247]

Brother Mike, maybe that seated row was designed for the Wee-people, Leprechauns?

[@guillianojanvier3343]

I always enjoy these. I see so much of this crap in the gym. Just as Mike explained, you'll see a group of people working out wit each other doing shitty form. Then be high fiving and chest bumping each other as if they've done something. Smh

[@delmarmeadows3305]

Thanks coach

[@curkaszcukrasz5093]

Your current Split?

[@nickadams5620]

Thank you

[@bettercallpaul3608]

LMFAO 3:50 🤣😂😅

[@joeboyd3274]

Looks good to me, that is how my body wants to move.

[@kencarey6483]

“ giving birth “ 😆

[@dondulah]

I love your videos #1 for advice. But a close #2 is how you make fun of stupid practices.

[@duddy707]

Not if it feels good for you. Everyone’s body is different and feels movements/momentum differently

[@nate123450]

When will we be able to support you by buying your sick shirts??

[@user-wo6qb1jo8o]

[@wyatt5542]

19:30 did they have a boy or a girl? cigars for everyone

[@City_Homesteader]

Stop feeding the trolls. People dedicate their miserable lives to make your life miserable. And if you didn't finish the video, the funniest thing MVW has ever said was missed.

[@jonwick5824]

Mike, I'm shocked to find out you didn't know that men could have babies.

[@rockstarszo1015]

😂🙌🏼💯

[@kasper52173]

👍🏾

[@rogerforde6065]

laryngitis 🤣🤣🤣

[@justintuttle137]

I'm sure HD muscle appreciated you taking shit about their equipment.....

[@dr.philgoodtv146]

USING MOMENTUM IS CHEATING, EH?

[@dr.philgoodtv146]

YES EH

[@callmeslick2977]

Haters are ai

[@r.b6170]

I don't think that you could pass yourself of as a 'doctor' .... ( Not a good example this time, sir)

[@Team_Banchamek]

The way I see it is Branch Warren and Johnny Jackson use momentum in every session and they’re elite body builders. Debate over.

[@jeremiah0813]

Just show us how to do it properly Mike Forget the bs

[@jordandrumb]

You make yourself an easy target. You make your videos for such a small percentage of people where you just waste your breathe. These could be 3 minute videos but you rant about one specific thing that you saw that no one has any idea what you're talking about.

[@corneliusparkin2401]

No, how he’s doing them now is just fine. That percentage is less tiny than you probably realize. There is a reason he is sky rocketing up in regards to followers and views. He has a great character which is enjoyable to listen to. He also gives tips that are great for even advanced athletes. Without becoming so detail focused that it’s hard to implement what he’s talking about.

[@sixman99]

We know exactly what he's talking about. The "what not to do" part is now vividly clear when he's making fun of these idiots. Mike's content is truly unmatched. We'll take it however he wants to present it.

[@prestoncassise4813]

Hey you wanna come over here with me, now we can do horrible shit together 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fkn love Mike!
