I'm sorry but we need a hypertrophy guide for every muscle group now including jaw and eyelid musculature. I finally want to be able to visibly flex my temporalis.
Don't even have to think about it. Compounds and curls for biceps and you will get forearms by accident. If not, then underhand grip forearm curls for the meatiest part.
i know this is a year old but do not train your neck directly. this is not a good idea, your neck is hyper sensitive to loading and you will hypertrophy your neck muscles just by loading your spine with deadlifts and squats. a disproportionately hypertrophied neck, i.e one that gets both squats/deadlifts AND direct work, puts you at a very high risk for migraines as well as sleep apnea.
@@phantomcreamer very specific athletes benefit from direct neck work and it's a serious trade off to consider between sleep apnea and neck hypertrophy and if you DO need it, you likely already have a knowledgeable coach in your corner as you would be a professional MMA fighter or NFL football player who would guide you on it, this is not a question you should be seeking through the internet. your neck will grow without giving you sleep apnea from squats deadlifts and any shoulder work, it's hyper sensitive to any stimulus at all.
@@frodothehobo9938 You're overstating the sleep apnea. Most fighters are highly conditioned athletes, and their necks aren't so swollen that they can't breathe
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
I could’ve used this 3 years ago. Holy shit man, I appreciate it Mike. Hypertrophic work was actually what got my abs to grow not the cavaliere high rep stuff. (No hate but I do have a chip on my shoulder over his programs.)
The problem in the fitness i dustry is that everbody wants to watch some stupid athlean x , v shred and tik tok bullshit and nobody watches dr Mike. No but seriously i learned more about fitness in a week of watching dr Mikes videos than i learned last year
Would you recommend for beginners to train abs or just focus on getting the main muscle groups like back,chest,quads,hams and shoulders strong and big?
Yes, if you are beginner and start to squat/deadlift you progress very fast. But your core progress is not so fast and that increases the risk to develop an inguinal/abdominal hernia.
If you're doing the big three and most of your barbell/dumbbell work standing then you're golden and just need to lower body fat. If you're trying to be an about model--listen to the last 2/3rds of the vid.
I personally cant do squats or deadlifts due to legit health issues, (i have a bone tumor on my pelvis, and herniated discs) and i know everyone says abs become visible from diet and reaching a low bodyfat percentage. But i'm just not buying that you don't need to directly work abs, I think its good you offer some progressive overload/hypertrophy exercises for them, a lot of people wanna grow their chest, shoulders, quads, and biceps, and do exercises to isolate these muscles, idk why the common consensus is that isolation exercise has no use for something like the ABS. i've come across so many youtubers proclaiming they don't need to be worked, and while i agree if you're on a powerlifting compound lift routine, you don't really need to focus the abs cause of the isometric contraction, there has to be some exercises designed to progressive overload them simply as an isolation movement. Unfortunately i've heard very bad things about weighted seated machine crunches for the spine.... I've also had problems with leg raises in the past on my spine. The abs are a tricky one for me because i work my back, chest, and legs, every week but my core just kind of gets ignored. I'm also very tall so i think there's a ton of torque on my joints from doing ab exercises. I really would like to see them pop out and grow like my chest, shoulders, back, and legs has. very difficult to do.
Rushikesh pawar not a qualified individual at all! What has interested me are old strong man routines and they really focused on that. Quick look around will give some recommendations
I've been waiting for this awesome video but everytime I do ab work I get cramps like crazy. Does anyone know how to avoid these crazy cramps? (I also eat enough potassium)
Definitely need to try machine crunches, cable crunches with half my body weight or more(or even less) get kinda unstable and grip, as well as space for the arms can be an issue
Hey Dr. Mike, pretty sure you don't need to hear this but just in case, you are fucking huge my dude, learned a lot from your videos, a true inspiration. I hope you reach your goals and find continual success, much love bro.
Im surprised Dr. Mike didn't mention breathing, for me the exercises become more challenging and engaged when exhaling and contracting in any of the abdominal exercises.
But why can I do 250 on the cinch machine for 15 reps. I’m decently big. I work out with the 100s on bench but like I feel like my abs are abnormally strong
Thank you! I needed this. Although I don't really have access to a nearby gym with machines for ab work. They all seem to stock up on machines for everything except abs. Probably because everyone goes for the high rep stuff like crunches or planks just like in the video.
Kirk Reinoso yes. He metioned a couple times this is aimed toward bodybuilding/physique and aethestic athletes. For performance athletes, there is no need to have big abs. It is important to focus on stability of the core.
I disagree with Tyler. How would doing a plank for lets say 2 minutes contribute to core strengt during a heavy lift? It wouldn't, cause it's short bursts of strengt, and therefore i would argue that heavy machine crunches are in fact better. Also on a side note, if your anterior superior iliac spine is very prominent, it can be an annoyance while wearing a belt. Slightly bigger abs would help with that, if you are a "skinny" lifter.
I'm sorry but we need a hypertrophy guide for every muscle group now including jaw and eyelid musculature. I finally want to be able to visibly flex my temporalis.
You can actually do it if you go low enough with BF, mine temporalis shows when i flex it
I like supersetting my temoralis curls with plotapyos extensions gives me a really good burn
I know I am kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new tv shows online?
I need jacked eyes.
This guy cant flex his temporalis.. weak... lol jk kl

1. Eat clen
2. Tren hard
Lol
3: Anavar give up
TEST their limits
Be decacated
most of them do direct ab work tho.. especially when going into a show. direct ab work will make your abs pop way more.
Forearms
So what is left calves and glutes?
yes
Santiago Trestini That last one is important though
There isn't one for calves
Muscles
Adductors missing
Yeah...I'll train these after calves and cardio
So never
@@Gabriel_JudgeofHell 2 years later and i still dont have abs or calves…wonder why

forearms buddy
I was literally about to write the exact same thing. Dr Israetel is the best, can't wait for those two!

@@loganhanson1917 Forearms is my favourite body part, I hope they'll release a video on how to get popeye arms 💪🏻
Yeah i Need dat too.

The hypertrophy guides are pure gold,. Thank you!!
25 sets of abs per week? Are ye sure??? Isn't it way too much? How can ye fit that in a 4 days per week schedule??
Transverse abdominus for the win. Not easy to hit that girdle muscle. But vital as we age.

Yes, if you are beginner and start to squat/deadlift you progress very fast. But your core progress is not so fast and that increases the risk to develop an inguinal/abdominal hernia.

Farmers walk, double overhand deadlifts, chinups/pullups and hammercurls. And get those grip training handles, captains of crunch or something.
Filling my notebook up with all three lessons man. Great info. Pace. Explanations
This guy trains hard and blinks hard!
Jack Livingston III gotta train those levator palpebraebsuperiorii amiright baba?
What about the AB Roller if done with strict form?!
Really appreciate the info Dr Isratel.

Dr. Pillsbury Doughboy! Compare him to Steve Reeves and Vince Gironda, they had physiques!
Where have you been all my life? I absolutely love your channel.
Is squats and deadlifts not for the abdominal wall rather than the actual"6pack"?
A bigger abdominal wall pushes the abs out
Add nine inches to my abs now, thanks.
"I like ravioli in my abs more than I like ravioli in my stomatch" You, probably
Mike you're such a G. thanks
We need a shoulder hair hypertrophy guide. Quit holding out Izratel
I can't believe iam this early. Great video series you got there, congratulations from India.

Olha só, outro BR
Beleza
Is it ok for hypertrophy to train abs every day, one exercise, 3 sets of 10-20 reps?
Holy shit its vintage Dr. Mike
Maybe a serratus anterior/intercostals guide? Not sure if it's worth making a video on lol
Jim Jones I'm currently doing isolation work on them just to see what happens
gracefool I'd be interested to hear how it goes for you
Ring dips and weighted push ups with a really slow eccentric works for me
OHP is the best for that imo
what about weighted planks?
Hey Dr. Mike, pretty sure you don't need to hear this but just in case, you are fucking huge my dude, learned a lot from your videos, a true inspiration. I hope you reach your goals and find continual success, much love bro.
Im surprised Dr. Mike didn't mention breathing, for me the exercises become more challenging and engaged when exhaling and contracting in any of the abdominal exercises.
Ok, Im doing 3 sets a day for 5 days, 30 sec plank, 100 side bends and 100 broom handle twists... is this too much?
Voidfoxx too little intensity (too high reps) if size is your priority
I'm speaking of all of us watching this video, please do calves next
Glutes next week, Calves the week after.
Younger mike gets me hot
But why can I do 250 on the cinch machine for 15 reps. I’m decently big. I work out with the 100s on bench but like I feel like my abs are abnormally strong
Anything about forearm? Please? My grip is forever weak and I can never do pull workouts without using straps
Nat Cole Heavy barbell holds, duh
we want calves we want calves #teamnocalves
Danny Guy Calves is 90% genetics right?
ua-cam.com/video/ISePfnmknYY/v-deo.html You're welcome.
pls post the glutes next. aka I need help (not) programming deadlifts
Can you build up your abs for 4-5 months and then Just maintan them by heavy coumpunds?
So, should I not be doing 8 sets of 25 on the ab crunch machine every night? 😬
I hate abs workout. Reliefed to hear that you are just fine if not doing them at all.
I came here for the first 3 mins and to see if he talked about obliques, especially about how much truth is there on the purely genetic theory
I am not sure if this guy thinks i am a moron or is he genuinely really nice person :D
MV/MEV 0 sets. That’s all I need to know
I must have pretty shit ab genetics because compound movements alone don't grow my abs. Direct and heavy ab training does
Lift and do heavy back workout for bigger forearms
Watching this after a 3min plank. LOL
Funky Pigeon? I'm so gonna steal that.

Do you think for powerlifting planks would be a better idea then let's say a machine crunch?
Kirk Reinoso yes. He metioned a couple times this is aimed toward bodybuilding/physique and aethestic athletes.
For performance athletes, there is no need to have big abs. It is important to focus on stability of the core.

I disagree with Tyler. How would doing a plank for lets say 2 minutes contribute to core strengt during a heavy lift? It wouldn't, cause it's short bursts of strengt, and therefore i would argue that heavy machine crunches are in fact better. Also on a side note, if your anterior superior iliac spine is very prominent, it can be an annoyance while wearing a belt. Slightly bigger abs would help with that, if you are a "skinny" lifter.
Kirk Reinoso they would but you should add plates to your back so you can only do sets between 30-60 seconds
intro music name please
Best. Serie. Ever.
Mike needs his own channel
dont think this guy and his body type can comment on how to do abs....epic fail
im 3 years late but he was bulked in this video, have you seen him super lean? also he has a phd in exercise science

"Biggest abs in the world"
I hope you're not talking about the GH guts, because that shit looks bad
can you do a video for forearms please
What about vacuum training?
It's very hard to find videos like that on internet, Awesome
What is about lower back?
If abs are type 1 dominant then don't they require higher reps of 20-50 to fatigue them?
No
Dude you make me laugh 😂
What is the name of the intro song?
Thank you so much!!
Dude you rock.
Amazing quality, subscribed!
I will watch this again to put it in my program Thanks Dr. Mike!!!
Click bait
✅ Fantastic comment about the ROM on knee raises and people "phoning in" their ab work. I'm off to hit my MEV on abs!
Also, thank you for applying a rational approach to training!
Masterful.
