How do know what’s real and not in the health and fitness space. I like DrMikes content, I like Rogan and a lot of people he has on.. so the immediate argument of sugar being bad or not, or really any topic, there’s so much back n forth, every expert has an opposing expert, and then it boils to “what’s best for you” but I want to know really, REALLY, what the right answers are
Dr.Mike I wanted to ask you about side effect of TRT and exogenous testosterone that everyone keep out of the sight of average Joe's that want to jump on it. And that side effect is infertility or inability to conceive a son. If you look up - almost every bodybuilder have only daughters, actors who jacked on gear is also mostly have only daughters. Do you have scientific explanation of mechanism behind that?
@@thesnowspeaksfinnishwhen Matt Serra, Dana White, and Joe Rogan were doing the Dana White contender fights together, they literally looked like three different heights of the same clone 😂😂😂
Functional exercise really does depend on what you do day to day. I’m a welder which is why I have a heavy focus on isometric abs. Being able to be completely stable in an uncomfortable position is very important as a welder. I’ve had to weld in a side plank position before and being able to hold that for a even a minute helps so much
KEFIR. 2-3 hours before bed and you sleep like a baby, you don't wake up several times a night and you wake up refreshed. But since you Americans don't know what kefir is (well, maybe 0.000001% do), that's why it's still legal. Americans can destroy everything that is good and that is why you are the most obese nation on earth. You're welcome.
it's melatonin. it controls the mtDNA which controls apoptosis and autophagy that make us recover day to day. Unfortunately most people mess their sleep up with fake lights a t night, technology and wifi.
I think this is the most simultaneously intense & calm person I've seen. Guy looks like he's about to explode at any moment or chill out with some tea at the same time.
Public Health grad student here. I just wanted to mention my POV on sugar. I agree with Dr Mike on the everything in moderation but think it is important to acknowledge: a) Sugar intake should also be modulated according to an individual's insulin resistance. b) Having no sugar is okay because our bodies make enough. 9 times out of 10 reaching for something with less sugar but equivalent in other aspects is better (excluding when a very fast carb is needed like during a marathon).
I’m certain that’s very true. Some folks seem to have completely forgotten that sugar is a nutrient. It’s just been massively over-supplied to us and we’ve massively consumed it as a species over the last 9 decades or so.
Jup, fully agreed. Sugar isnt inherently evil. But we live in a society that makes it actively hard to NOT consume too much of it. If we lived in a system that forces 500 grams of pure protein down your throat when youre not looking, protein would become 'harmful' too in most situations even when protein itself isnt bad for the body.
I only use candy during runs. And I’m talking about half marathons atleast every 2-3 weeks. In moderate runs 5-8 miles I still use candy. The point is….. sugar is fuel if used properly…
The term "thumbnail" is really fitting in this case, because it looks like a before and after image of what happens to your thumb if you hit it with a hammer.
Maybe not the best for muscle growth but with proper form, it is an excellent exercise for core stability through a wide range of different body positions. Personally, I have found it really helpful to help prevent back injury as I lift heavier & climb harder routes.
@@AyoLeger It's completely established to be a lesser movement to things like cleans, deadlifts or barbell shoulder presses if you want upward pushing strenght. In theory is should work, but the problem lies in (what Mike explained) the fact that your shoulder gives out before your core or whatever else you wanted to strenghten. So you are effectively limiting your gains because the core doesn't get worked enough.
Do it with a barbell then it's called a gardener lift. It's a great display of strength because 1st you have to master the one arm clean and jerk . Even just 50k is quite challenging. It's nor for body building its an exhibition lift . I.a.w.a sometimes throw it into competitions .
Joe takes Ayahuasca as pre workout. Multiversal entities train him in the gym. They promised him that he will be able to defeat a bear once his training is complete.
My own experience with sugar. using it with small amounts to recover after training, and huge amount while sitting in front of your tv is very different. Big shock! It can be your little helper or your worst enemy.
Dude, same. I was a loader at FedEx for like 6 weeks before I decided I didn't like being crushed to death, and my boss decided he liked it better when the trucks actually got out on time. But in that 6 weeks, I lost like 30 lbs and got way stronger. My job after that was making pizza at Domino's for 2 years, and that had the opposite effect.
Anyone who has never done this job, doesn't understand how physically taxing it is. I went into that job at 18 years old with a six pack standing at 6'3" and weighing about 220. I played football, basketball, and ran track my whole life year round. I thought I was "the man" and was in really good shape as I was serious about weight training, diet, and running at the time. That job kicked my ass every single day. Humbled me for sure. I never fully adapted in the year and a half I did it. It was seriously a challenge.
I used to be a sorter. The douche manager hated me for flirting with the few girls we had, so he would always have two trucks unloading to my spot. Once, he even had two guys in each truck. It was crazy hot in there.

I'd love to see Dr Mike doing a JRE podcast and then one of those videos destroying him at the gym.
I went on TRT on 39, had testicular cancer when I 25 so got one ball and actually needed it, it was a pretty noticable change but a way more noticable change was quitting alcohol, sleeping betterer, eating well and starting to train 4 months prior to going on it. Alcohol is fucking terrible for your mind, body and soul, quitting drinking should be tried before TRT
Im not gonna say alcohol is healthy, but just my personal experience, i was drinking a lot of alcohol in 18-23 yo, and my test was in the roof. But i was eating healthy and working out hard from 14 yo too, so yes i dont think that alcohol so much supresses your test, i mean yes it causes hormonal inbalanace for like 2 days after drinking (libido up, propably estrogen peak) but then it comes back to normal.
Lady here! I agree with you totally about the kettle bell thing! Honestly, I started to add subtle weight lifting when I was in my early 20's. I tried kettle bells first for weight lifting because I heard about them on a Joe Rogan podcast, not only was I really winded from the motion and more concerned about making the motion than actually building strength, but I was noticing a lot of clicking and pain and found ranges of motion awkward, simply because I wasn't used to lifting or moving weight 15 pounds plus. So from experience, I can tell youm dumbells are wayyyy better for a beginner. You really have to think about posture, movement, you can feel where pain is, where weakness is. You build speed and confidence and reps slowly. Unlike with kettle bells, where they make your mind more focused on momentum. They are better for people who already change and want to change range of motion up. But a simple cheap dumbell from wall mart at home and a bench is literally all most woman need to get a real burn! And you can buy dumbells with exchangeable weights to save money! There are so many videos that help you with form too! Just more effective and safe!
I would argue the awkwardness and clicking you experienced is a sign of not having functional strength. I landscape and so I have to do those kettlebell exercise type motions all day.
You can do the kettle bell swings with dumbbells! I go to the gym so at home I have minimal equipment... 3 sets of dumbbells (light, medium, heavy), a box to jump on, and that's about it. I can go to the park down the street to do pull-ups. Sure you can get a burn with dumbbells as a beginner but there's going to be a point when your joints are a limitation and you need to expand on your repertoire of exercises so having access to a gym is kind of necessary to gain the type of strength you want beyond beginner.
Have you ever thought that you’re not doing the exercise right lol. Kettlebell is for conditioning aka useful for fighting. Dumbbells and barbells are good for what this guy does and that’s to look like a juiced up ninja turtle lol
@@BenjaminSanders-v9x Yes, it's easier to use dumbbells, which is why for people working out alone at home with no feedback should use dumbbells. If it's causing you pain and you are doing this alone at home, that's a good reason to stop and use something else until you have the resources to get trained on using them without pain.
Dr. Mike, I have one criticism and that is the Turkish get up is effective for training standing up while holding a squirming toddler. That's all. Continue, good sir.
Wow. That is soooo true. Lol. He started blabbing about old Hebrew text and and the masonic religion. And after growing up in middle east going to school learning just Hebrew and religion then going to university to do studies I realized he talks like he knows but completely confused. But so right. Good spot
joe rogan is an excellent entry point for the online nazi pipeline, He has just enough deniability on platforming nazis under the umbrella of being open minded. jordan peterson and ben shapiro has far less.
Take it from a rock climber if you want to increase your grip strength. Dead hangs. 10 second hangs. Two minutes rest. 10 sets. 3 times a week. Use a pulley system To take off if it’s too hard or weight belt to add weight if it’s too easy. It builds insane forearm arm, strength and grip.
10 second dead hang then 2 minutes rest? isnt that too easy? sorry im just confused. i could deadhang for 2 minutes, and do it like 3 times a day. i didnt even have strong grip, just quite normal
@@januar2741 I might be wrong but it doesn't seem like hanging for 2 minutes straight out the gate is super normal. It's something a ton of people have to work towards.
@@ozwaltreacts4709 I'm not a rock climber, and I weight 210lb, but I can dead hang for at least several minutes given the right bar. The owners of those carnaval dead hang challenges hate me, must be my big ass hands or something
I was diagnosed with hypogonadism at 30 years old (my level was 165 ng/dl). Going on TRT was life changing. I can't even begin to explain how beneficial it has been.
You hae a pre-existing medical condition that was alleviated by going on TRT. At least I hope it was on doctor's orders. in any case, that's a world of difference to the meatheads who use it to get swole...
But please not when he is on his extreme high test lvl for competition, he is a little less chill and a littel less fun. The Doctor Mike podcast was a great example I think he just talked and talked and I think he should have taken it slower.
Lmao at the Joey Diaz part....The funny thing is, if you know his background and hear some of his old stories, it's actually a miracle that he's still alive. He might be the king of longevity.
It’s eerie that I clicked on this video when I did. I was just thinking how I wanted to get my test levels checked because I had gained 30 pounds in the past year, eating like shit, drinking too much, and was getting uncontrollable panic attacks. Go in to the doctor’s with my BP at 167/112. He puts me on BP meds that make me feel like shit. I stopped taking them after a week, built my diet/ exercise program and kept it on point. 3 weeks later at my follow up, I’m down 17 pounds, BP is at 132/89, panic attacks are gone, and I am certain that I don’t need TRT.
Good job man. Similar story for me. I tried therapy and antidepressants for my anxiety/panic attacks. Nothing helped. I fixed my diet, stopped drinking on weekdays, prioritized getting quality sleep, and hit the gym 5x a week. Fixed everything.
Yeah, BP goes up and down and doesn't mean you're any better at all just because it looked better at the doctor. I've had mine look good too and the next visit back up to the same higher BP.
Never did roids in my life been lifting since was 14. Wound up with ball cancer and lost my ball at 43 years old. Test levels went down under 100. I get 1 CC a week and now back to a normal / nice 800-850 after a year and feel like a new man. Wasn’t a bad trade off 😂
I have one testicle. It was removed when I was 3. I wonder if it has affected my testosterone levels. I don't feel like they are low, but who knows. I was always under the impression that having a ball missing didn't affect it. 🤷♂️
@@petereames3041it probably doesn’t if you lose it so early. Your body probably overcompensated and gave you a super testicle, producing enough testosterone to keep you at healthy levels through puberty and as an adult. I base this hypothesis on 0 scientific data.
@@Benny.13 Facts! I'm a doctor and the amount of people that show up in the emergency room with acute seed oil poisoning is alarming. I perscribe 100 ml of moose cum to reverse the damage, 50ml for oral application and 50ml for anal application.
@@navnnavn1226 I’ve learned from multiple videos by legitimate Doctors and nutritionist on the subject of seed oils for years . I don’t have FB or any social media other then YT.? Lol ,swing and miss!
I'm glad Mike is addressing the "functional" strength stuff. People really like to shit on anything barebell or body building related despite those two things being really really good for size and strength.
I think most people's idea of functional strength is being able to move things from awkward angles or just different angles rather than traditional lifting with fixed exercises. So basically anything that has more of an emphasis on stabilizing muscles along with the main group being worked.
@@ThompsonBriartraditional strength training already covers this. Powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongman training will all make you stronger in those niche situations than just squatting on a bosu ball with a kettlebell in your mouth. Reason is because you can load astronomically more weight on those tiny muscles with a regular low bar backsquat than with some weird position you can't properly load to failure and use progressive overload on. The weight the more stable traditional backsquat allows you to move will simply outweight the fact that you can't quite get in that ultraspecific position with it. If anything you're better off training them separately. You train the big 4 as heavy as you can and then you can go and teach that strong muscle to neurologically learn whatever athletic movement pattern you want it to go through. Calisthenics guys do this a lot. They train with weights for raw strength and then they go and harness it on the monkeybars
@@chumbucket6184 Extremely niche training focus, but one of the contestants from Alone (solo nature survival show on History Channel) went into detail about her training that did involve lots of the funky movements and stabilizing work because moving trees and rocks across a forest requires lots of weird movements and unnecessary muscle mass is detrimental when you might go weeks without eating.
Why would anyone wanna rip on bodybuilding or bodybuilding exercises. Just because they don't have the genetics for it... bodybuilding is one of the best sports on the planet 👏 not too say functional training or anything else isn't but bodybuilding I'd the best also being one myself I am biased
Can we get a sources page at the very end of the videos? As someone who is critical of every fitness video, having a sources page would be greatly beneficial
@@paulbarclay4114 no I’m not saying that at all, seed oils and sugar are perfectly fine, I just want to see the sources because I like looking at the data for myself
I think what JR actually means is the movements traditionally associated with kettlebells transfer better to athletic pursuits better than a bodybuilding focused routine. Explosive and leaning towards endurance due to rep count. As the man said, you can do all that with bars.
Well at least most of the exercises could be performed with bars/plates. However, the more explosive the exercise gets, the less practical it is to use traditional weights
@@polkhigh_33 I'd compare it more to something along the lines of kettlebells better simulating real world use. Take a jacked gym rat who uses the bars, stick him out on a farm, and watch him get his ass whooped by farm work while the country boy keeps working until sun down. That's what I think of when I hear the term "functional".
I need TRT because of a pituitary brain tumor. Im 36 and my free T was in the low 100s because of the gland being shut down. Now im at 785 off of just applying a gel and the difference is night and day. I feel like Im 21 again and it has transformed my life.
Could you do David Goggins next? I always admire his drive and discipline (although extreme). But I always sees everything he did will do more harm than good.
@@pierrex3226 Honestly, I saw goggins as another, more disciplined version of liver king. Not the fraudulent part (I think goggins just a monster), but the questionable methods. I saw somewhere on Joe Rogan's podcast, Goggins force this one dude on a sauna for hours without any drinks, when he wanted to go out, Goggins tell him not to. And you guessed it, the guy fainted on the spot and hospitalized. To be fair though, unlike liver king, Goggins never asked people to do his "special" training regiment. He want people to step out of their comfort zone and workout.
@@Savirezzgoggins' seal career is fraudulent though... his heart condition is very questionable and suspect as well. 15 years on the seals during active conflict, 1 combat deployment, early, and never again. Heart condition... marathon runner... like, guy, pick one.
I have been on a keto diet for 15 months to lose weight and went from 321 to 202 lbs while simultanously gaining muscle. I LOVE this diet for weight loss, however I observed exactly what you are saying at the end. I run, I bike and I do weights. I am on Keto for 6 weeks and then off, moderately eating healthy carbs, for 1-2. During the pauses my performance, especially running, is no comparison. I can run 1 minute per kilometer faster at the same heart rate during the pause. It feels like flying up the hill on the bike. During the Keto phases it is much harder.
What I like about turkish getups are the awkward loading angles and combinations of joint stabilizations. However, as far as carryover effect, TGUs make you better at TGUs, and thats about it. It is a fun way to test your shoulder mobility and balance, and I like to use it for conditioning drills paired with swings.
Doing Turkish get-ups does make you better at Turkish get-ups, because...you improve the related kinetic chains and other athletic parameters that this exercise depends upon. While i do consider it as a "less essential" exercise - yet i'd rather be able to do a Turkish getup effortlessly when i'm 80, than lifting some heavy shit, while not being able to get up from the floor at that age.
I am on TRT (my levels were at 93, so it was needed) and it helped me greatly. Mike forgot one important fact, if you start on TRT without needing it, your body will naturally stop producing it, so you will have to take it for the rest of your life.
Incorrect. Your body will (almost always) start producing test again once the exogenous test has cleared, given some time. Drugs can also be used to accelerate this process.
I think that kettlebells are mainly nice because the way they load weight for certain motions and exercises. Dumbbells are totally useable and great, but certain movements the kettlebells feels a little bit easier to manage and get through a proper range of motion. For example, the Turkish get up. I did some variation of this for my injured shoulder maybe it's called a windmill, I can't remember, but it was similar in concept. Stabilize shoulder. While it's a minor gripe, it was slightly better with a kettlebell vs a dumbbell on my wrist, allowed me to keep it straighter, which is a nice advantage when we're talking healing an injury, every little thing could be a game changer.
Since the weight hangs down from the bar, the bells have a lower center of gravity per pound over the dumbbell. This means less leverage, so less “balancing muscle” strength is required. Using a lighter weight with a barbell is identical. It’s like being “explosive” with a higher weight to feel stronger, rather than making slower movements with a lighter weight that actually challenged your muscles better. It’s a trick to make you feel stronger (or demonstrate strength to your friends/girl) rather than doing what actually makes you stronger. I was a certified strength training coach in the 2000s. The myths in weight lifting are there to make clients feel better. Showing them the truth is much harder if what you care about is money vs results. I quit because educating clients was almost impossible.
@@JasonJrake I totally understand what you're saying, and in my case specifically, it just felt better on my wrist. Perhaps I would have benefit from just a lighter weight as you said and going slower. What I did notice in my experience, was that I was in fact comfortably able to control more weight and get a better connection to the target muscle, just because of where the center of gravity landed and how it felt on my wrist. Perhaps you could argue I needed my wrist examined, but it wasn't chronically in pain, or anything like that
@@stevencosta7248 your reasoning makes sense. The whole “functional strength” fallacy has caused people to not understand the point of exercise. It’s to target muscle groups precisely. And anything that works for you is better than all the ideal theory in the world.
Im 52 and do HRT for about 8 years. Get blood work done every 6 months. I also work have worked in trades for about 25 years and have weight trained most of my adult life. I notice the recovery times the most, its awesome.
@@johnmachter40 Testosterone helps repair and build muscle tissue. When your Testosterone is low, you're damaging muscle fibers by working out (good) but then not repairing them quickly enough to workout in even 48 hours later. I was around 300 previously and now around 1200 and the difference in recovery is absolutely noticeable.
IDK man, I’m building muscle naturally at 41 and it just seems like most TRT proponents on the internet are just people who used steroids who want to make excuses for still using steroids.
Im nearly 40 and just as strong as i was in my youth. I may have lost a bit of energy and stamina but not much. I do everything he mocks; eat lower glycemic diet etc. bros on trt look impressive but cant come close to my strength level.
Total misconception from you, and it’s okay. Influencers and fitness models on “trt” are normally at Supra physiological levels.. aka beyond normal which will cause problems down the line for MOST men. Congrats on building muscle at 41, maybe look back at your blood work for test levels when you were 24-35… most likely they’ve gone down. Mid you’re not experiencing any low test symptoms then you’re alright. Trt is like Botox for men, in the way that oftentimes well to do or individuals who have the money can invest in. Trt however will boost most areas of life not just aesthetics.
I know you can overeat carbs, fats and even protein, but for me and it would seem many others it's a lot easier for me to regulate my intake of Rib Eye or potatoes than it is for me to regulate chocolate, sweets or soft drinks. I feel like sugar is the enemy for sure but it's psychological, I'm probably not going to overeat steak and eggs but I'll definitely overeat the crap out of some chocolate.
It is also, most junkfood is calorie dense. If you eat berries yes they have sugar in them, but you have to eat a whole lot of berrys in order for it to make you fat, and at that point you'll at least be sated. Where as a chocolate bar has a lot more sugar within one bite, and you still won't be satisfied.
Sugar has the quality of giving you an injection of insulin, a short burst of energy, and then a crash. This crash signals the hunger parts of the brain. Additionally, the caloric availability of sugar is super high and foods containing a lot of sugar are calorie dense. These qualities are a recipe for disaster for most people trying to control weight which is why "avoid sugar!" is good advice for the health-conscious.
Spot on, potato's, chips, bread, crackers, I can't stop. Steak I have to practically force myself to finish eating it. But then I feel good afterwards. So hard for me not to just know to stay away from carbs and suger🤷♂️
My Senior Marine Instructor lives by the Turkish getup. He said it helped for getting off the ground with a heavier load with your hands doing something else, like holding a rifle or when you have a ruck sack on. I enjoyed the functionality

@@movestattoo4561 Not sure if it got rid of my other reply, but IBJJF only tests Blackbelt Adult divisions at worlds. So one tournament and only a few divisions at that tournament. The athletes know when they'll be tested so for anyone invested enough it's easy enough to pass that test. Even then, some of these athletes still fail (Mica Galvao failed a test while still being a teenager after winning black belt worlds)
Oxidized linoleic acid is indeed unhealthy and does cause inflammation. It's not necessarily seed oils themselves but it's the process around it, processing, high temp oxidation etc. The latest studies were just published on it.
Hard agree. The problem with the nutrition community is that it seems like you can find a study that supports your perspective on either side. Its a bit frustrating in that regard. On this topic, I looked through some of the studies Dr. Mike pointed to and the conflict of interest alone is a pretty big red flag.
As a trainer for decades, who loves weight training, I've seen a lot of people get ripped and seemingly fit lifting but can't run a block and have zero flexibility or stamina. Please rotate weight with cardio and calisthenics. You'll thank me later.
Dr. Mike is very calm in this video. He is also not making fun of Joe Rogan like he do for other people. Dr. Mike don't want to loose his chance to get on JRE 😂😂
Nah, after the seed oils blow up Dr Mike knows how dangerous and awful it is to mock the far right online. They will spend years brigading Mike's content and lying about him the moment he makes fun of one of their idols
The reason why people dislike seed oils are mainly 3 things. 1) Their history is shady. They were invented as a way to utilize overproduction & waste of machine lubricant oils, in the same way that Fluoride was for example sold as beneficial because it was just a waste product from aluminium production. That alone is not proof that it's bad per se, but it's admittedly suspicious. 2) Seed oils are mostly extracted by petrochemicals. Any residue left behind in the final product will be detrimental to health in the long run. 3) Chemistry. Seed oils are unsaturated fats, which are healthy but chemically unstable. What happens when you heat unstable chemicals? They degrade. In the case of seed oils, heating them up (cooking) will produce a ton of toxic or even carcinogenic substances which will be detrimental to health. All of that is common knowledge and 7th grade basic chemistry knowledge. Frankly none of this is even debated. There is a reason why traditionally human cultures use saturated or mono-unsaturated fats for cooking (olive oil, coconut oil, lard, butter, ghee, etc), and that is exactly because of 3), because they are chemically more stable and will degrade less under heat.
On your last point, you say that human cultures traditionally don't use seed oils because they're more chemically stable, but you also say that seed oils were only invented to prevent machine oil wastage. Surely we're talking about two massively different time periods, no?
@@acojo8205 Up to the 1900s, seed oils were not used at all. The reason they were not used for cooking is because they are chemically unstable, meaning they turn toxic if you heat them, and also they go rancid very fast. You can store natural fats weeks to months at room temperature without them going bad. In the 1900s, seed oils were first used, because they were a waste product from cotton production. Seed oils were used to oil heavy machinery like tanks. Then some decades later, eventually people started chemically processing them in order to sell them to people to eat. They still are largely unhealthy however, especially when heated.

Same here. Currently on that journey. After changing the diet, I lost 30 lbs. started this channel and decided to start working out. The combo of the dietary change and workouts I’ve gotten down to 5.3, lost 50lbs and have been gaining a lot of muscle mass. Best thing to ever happen to me was learning I was pre diabetic.

When I go on strict no processed sugar diet, and get my sugar only from fruits and honey (sometimes maple syrup) I drop weight rapidly and feel way better and think sharper.
@@verbon47 processed sugar gets absorbed faster and spikes your insulin resulting in crashing of your blood sugar, less stable energy. you are forced to feed on sugar all day long, thats how you gain weight. better eat carbs that are more complex and get absorbed slower!
First time watching your videos big fella. Been going gym for 18 months, never been fat or skinny, sort of middle of the park, I'm 44 and looking at test, going to get bloods done Tuesday and see where I am.. Thanks for the info, could listen you all day mate...nice one. Subbed 💪🏼

LOL, in the UK we're less squeamish about names and just call it "rapeseed oil" - you can but it in any supermarket. Fun fact: The name "rapeseed" comes from the Latin word "rapum", which means "turnip." Rapeseed is part of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes turnips, mustard, cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables. Ok, not that much fun. But still a fact :D
The town of Tisdale, Saskatchewan used to have the slogan “the land of R… and honey” because its biggest exports were rapeseed and honey. It even has a 16ft tall statue of a honey bee. But they had to change it. Not cause they were forced to though, more they just had enough of tourists being confused. It’s now “Opportunity grows here”. Which is actually pretty good tbh. But I miss the confusion. 😂

I tried Turkish get ups and everything Rogan is true. They promote grip, balance, stability and stamina. If you don't use the free hand to get up or sit down they definitely are difficult. I started with 15 lb kettle bell and it's a great addition to my process.
In the first clip on Turkish get ups, Rogan was talking to Pavel Tsatsouline. It would be great to hear Mike's take on Pavel's training philosophy. This might not work with clips since he's not online much, but a review of his books, such as Enter the Kettlebell, Power to the People, and The Naked Warrior, could be insightful. In fact, a series of videos reviewing popular fitness books could be an excellent addition to the channel.
Was thinking this exactly. I would pay $1 to hear dr mike talk about pavels routine and approach. Totally up to dr mike if he wants to make money or not
@jmat7000 F$%k a WHOLE ASS DOLLAR?! Damn he would be such a fool if he passed up this once in a lifetime chance to earn a dollar, especially your dollar :D
Yup, I was wondering that for a while now. Pavel seems like a dude who's teaching a lot of make believe and doesn't seem to be very jacked or strong himself 🤔 or, at least I didn't see anything of him lifting heavy
Yeah, I'd love to see him defend something like Rapeseed Oil with actual science. It literally comes from an inedible plant, and gets ultra processed before it ever makes it to the store. I'll pass on that. Also, saying sugar is fine as long as you are counting calories is such bull. He needs to be more specific than that. Are we talking fruit? Table sugar? Corn syrup? Honey? Huge difference between the type of sugar, and honestly I just try to avoid all of it as best I can.
@diesel_tech_three4332 Jacked 5'-5" guys dont really impress me. I know some and they get jacked doing 1/4 the work. Now show me the 6'-2" lanky fellow that gets jacked. Now that's impressive.
He has always talked highly of sugar and seed oils. I like his training stuff but i would not listen to anything he says about diet. When it comes to diet he only seems to consider calorie in calorie out and it doesnt matter what those calories are. I keep sugar at minimum since i know its bad and i dont need it. Same with seed oils, there's enough signs that suggest its bad for health so i avoid it as much as possible. I avoid ultraprocessed "food" in general.
Small thing about the secret to kettlebells - The true advantage comes when you get to where you can hold the kettlebell out instead of letting it hand, because it fires your stabilizers way more through different movements.
Sleep apnea is an absolute T-killer. I used to have this, but it doesn't seem so bad now. But I clearly remember about 10 years ago, I travelled around the country in my Explorer and slept in the front passenger seat, reclined about 45° (cos that's as far as it would go). What was crucial about that detail, was it was just at the angle where my breathing was unaffected when asleep. My health improved rapidly as I slept well for the first time in decades. At 45 (warning: overshare incoming...) I started having wood almost all night, while sleeping. Eventually, THAT was a bit of a problem, lol. (I did warn you. 😄)
I mean, there are concerns involving the intake of sugar. Clogged arteries, increased risk of diabetes, etc. But these risks are from overindulgence, not general use.
@SkippytheMagnificentBeerCan sugar in-itself does not clog arteries. Sugar CAN contribute to cardiovascular issues if it is a cause of caloric surplus.

On the TRT, Dr. Mike hit the lifestyle point so well. I had low Free T and doc said it was probably lifestyle. First, I tried TRT to great effect but then I started fixing diet (especially adding more protein), sleep, and stress. I then stopped TRT and kept making huge gains and my Free T stayed in the normal range. It turns out that endurance athletes (even non-competitive marathoners like me) can depress their free testosterone if they don't jack up protein consumption similar to what Dr. Mike advises for bodybuilding. Research shows this negative cycle is accentuated in men as they age if they do a lot of long distance running/swimming/biking. I haven't taken TRT since I learned all this. I'm still getting stronger and building muscle.
Isn't the problem with seed oils about highly-processed vs cold-pressed? I thought that makes the difference, and that the 'processed' ones are the unhealthy ones but I might need to look into this more as it seems. I hope this guy doesn't just completely ignore this aspect because I really like him.
What highly processed means to do you and why do you think it must induce negative things to the food? Ever seen how cheese is made? Whey protein? Yet both are great for the body. You need to start looking at things for what they are. Energy drinks are processed and bad. Milk is processed and good. Poisonous fruits are organic and non processed and bad. Other fruits are organic and non processed and good.
None of these commenters or even this doctor seem to be big on the nuances of nutrition. Saying cheese is great for the body is a joke, as well as seed oils. The studies they talk about aren't sited, and they're probably funded by food companies who depend on using seed oils
I mean yeah if you're eating shit loads of oil and poor protein sources. No shit. Luckily whey is a pretty good source, lean or even fatty meats are great and beyond a good balance of fats, you don't really need much more fat than you'll get through meats and some dairy or nuts/etc. a bit of seed oil doesn't do shit if your diet was good to begin with.

Functional exercise really does depend on what you do day to day. I’m a welder which is why I have a heavy focus on isometric abs. Being able to be completely stable in an uncomfortable position is very important as a welder.

Public Health grad student here. I just wanted to mention my POV on sugar. I agree with Dr Mike on the everything in moderation but think it is important to acknowledge: a) Sugar intake should also be modulated according to an individual's insulin resistance. b) Having no sugar is okay because our bodies make enough. 9 times out of 10 reaching for something with less sugar but equivalent in other aspects is better (excluding when a very fast carb is needed like during a marathon).
I’m certain that’s very true.
Some folks seem to have completely forgotten that sugar is a nutrient.
It’s just been massively over-supplied to us and we’ve massively consumed it as a species over the last 9 decades or so.
Jup, fully agreed. Sugar isnt inherently evil. But we live in a society that makes it actively hard to NOT consume too much of it.
If we lived in a system that forces 500 grams of pure protein down your throat when youre not looking, protein would become 'harmful' too in most situations even when protein itself isnt bad for the body.
I only use candy during runs. And I’m talking about half marathons atleast every 2-3 weeks. In moderate runs 5-8 miles I still use candy. The point is….. sugar is fuel if used properly…
There is absolutely no benefit to added sugar.
Do you have any info on the effects of added sugar compared to saturated fat? I believe I’ve heard saturated fat is still worse

"the Turkish Get Up is like the parlor trick of lifting" is the most solid and on-point thing I've heard today
Until you do a hundred with 60lb kettlebells.
Even the Russian judges chimed in and said it was a quality burn.
Maybe not the best for muscle growth but with proper form, it is an excellent exercise for core stability through a wide range of different body positions. Personally, I have found it really helpful to help prevent back injury as I lift heavier & climb harder routes.
@@AyoLeger It's completely established to be a lesser movement to things like cleans, deadlifts or barbell shoulder presses if you want upward pushing strenght.
In theory is should work, but the problem lies in (what Mike explained) the fact that your shoulder gives out before your core or whatever else you wanted to strenghten. So you are effectively limiting your gains because the core doesn't get worked enough.
Do it with a barbell then it's called a gardener lift. It's a great display of strength because 1st you have to master the one arm clean and jerk .
Even just 50k is quite challenging.
It's nor for body building its an exhibition lift . I.a.w.a sometimes throw it into competitions .

My own experience with sugar. using it with small amounts to recover after training, and huge amount while sitting in front of your tv is very different. Big shock! It can be your little helper or your worst enemy.
Best “functional strength” exercise I ever did was working unloading trailers at UPS.😂
Farming is pretty good too.
Dude, same. I was a loader at FedEx for like 6 weeks before I decided I didn't like being crushed to death, and my boss decided he liked it better when the trucks actually got out on time. But in that 6 weeks, I lost like 30 lbs and got way stronger. My job after that was making pizza at Domino's for 2 years, and that had the opposite effect.
Me too brother for 7 years never again
Anyone who has never done this job, doesn't understand how physically taxing it is. I went into that job at 18 years old with a six pack standing at 6'3" and weighing about 220. I played football, basketball, and ran track my whole life year round. I thought I was "the man" and was in really good shape as I was serious about weight training, diet, and running at the time. That job kicked my ass every single day. Humbled me for sure. I never fully adapted in the year and a half I did it. It was seriously a challenge.
I used to be a sorter. The douche manager hated me for flirting with the few girls we had, so he would always have two trucks unloading to my spot. Once, he even had two guys in each truck. It was crazy hot in there.
I'd love to see Dr Mike doing a JRE podcast and then one of those videos destroying him at the gym.

I went on TRT on 39, had testicular cancer when I 25 so got one ball and actually needed it, it was a pretty noticable change but a way more noticable change was quitting alcohol, sleeping betterer, eating well and starting to train 4 months prior to going on it. Alcohol is fucking terrible for your mind, body and soul, quitting drinking should be tried before TRT
💯
One ball 😲
Needed to hear that, thanks mate!
Im not gonna say alcohol is healthy, but just my personal experience, i was drinking a lot of alcohol in 18-23 yo, and my test was in the roof. But i was eating healthy and working out hard from 14 yo too, so yes i dont think that alcohol so much supresses your test, i mean yes it causes hormonal inbalanace for like 2 days after drinking (libido up, propably estrogen peak) but then it comes back to normal.
Also note that im from eastern Europe so maybe we are build different
Lady here! I agree with you totally about the kettle bell thing! Honestly, I started to add subtle weight lifting when I was in my early 20's. I tried kettle bells first for weight lifting because I heard about them on a Joe Rogan podcast, not only was I really winded from the motion and more concerned about making the motion than actually building strength, but I was noticing a lot of clicking and pain and found ranges of motion awkward, simply because I wasn't used to lifting or moving weight 15 pounds plus. So from experience, I can tell youm dumbells are wayyyy better for a beginner. You really have to think about posture, movement, you can feel where pain is, where weakness is. You build speed and confidence and reps slowly. Unlike with kettle bells, where they make your mind more focused on momentum. They are better for people who already change and want to change range of motion up. But a simple cheap dumbell from wall mart at home and a bench is literally all most woman need to get a real burn! And you can buy dumbells with exchangeable weights to save money! There are so many videos that help you with form too! Just more effective and safe!
I would argue the awkwardness and clicking you experienced is a sign of not having functional strength. I landscape and so I have to do those kettlebell exercise type motions all day.
You can do the kettle bell swings with dumbbells! I go to the gym so at home I have minimal equipment... 3 sets of dumbbells (light, medium, heavy), a box to jump on, and that's about it. I can go to the park down the street to do pull-ups. Sure you can get a burn with dumbbells as a beginner but there's going to be a point when your joints are a limitation and you need to expand on your repertoire of exercises so having access to a gym is kind of necessary to gain the type of strength you want beyond beginner.
Have you ever thought that you’re not doing the exercise right lol. Kettlebell is for conditioning aka useful for fighting. Dumbbells and barbells are good for what this guy does and that’s to look like a juiced up ninja turtle lol
@@BenjaminSanders-v9x Yes, it's easier to use dumbbells, which is why for people working out alone at home with no feedback should use dumbbells. If it's causing you pain and you are doing this alone at home, that's a good reason to stop and use something else until you have the resources to get trained on using them without pain.
Dr. Mike, I have one criticism and that is the Turkish get up is effective for training standing up while holding a squirming toddler. That's all. Continue, good sir.

It’s eerie that I clicked on this video when I did.

Go in to the doctor’s with my BP at 167/112. He puts me on BP meds that make me feel like shit. I stopped taking them after a week, built my diet/ exercise program and kept it on point. 3 weeks later at my follow up, I’m down 17 pounds, BP is at 132/89, panic attacks are gone, and I am certain that I don’t need TRT.

I'm glad Mike is addressing the "functional" strength stuff. People really like to shit on anything barebell or body building related despite those two things being really really good for size and strength.
"People" referring to Mario Rios & his fans amirite
I think most people's idea of functional strength is being able to move things from awkward angles or just different angles rather than traditional lifting with fixed exercises. So basically anything that has more of an emphasis on stabilizing muscles along with the main group being worked.
@@ThompsonBriartraditional strength training already covers this. Powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongman training will all make you stronger in those niche situations than just squatting on a bosu ball with a kettlebell in your mouth. Reason is because you can load astronomically more weight on those tiny muscles with a regular low bar backsquat than with some weird position you can't properly load to failure and use progressive overload on. The weight the more stable traditional backsquat allows you to move will simply outweight the fact that you can't quite get in that ultraspecific position with it.
If anything you're better off training them separately. You train the big 4 as heavy as you can and then you can go and teach that strong muscle to neurologically learn whatever athletic movement pattern you want it to go through. Calisthenics guys do this a lot. They train with weights for raw strength and then they go and harness it on the monkeybars
@@chumbucket6184 Extremely niche training focus, but one of the contestants from Alone (solo nature survival show on History Channel) went into detail about her training that did involve lots of the funky movements and stabilizing work because moving trees and rocks across a forest requires lots of weird movements and unnecessary muscle mass is detrimental when you might go weeks without eating.

I think what JR actually means is the movements traditionally associated with kettlebells transfer better to athletic pursuits better than a bodybuilding focused routine. Explosive and leaning towards endurance due to rep count. As the man said, you can do all that with bars.
Well at least most of the exercises could be performed with bars/plates. However, the more explosive the exercise gets, the less practical it is to use traditional weights
@@polkhigh_33 I'd compare it more to something along the lines of kettlebells better simulating real world use.

I saw somewhere on Joe Rogan's podcast, Goggins force this one dude on a sauna for hours without any drinks, when he wanted to go out, Goggins tell him not to. And you guessed it, the guy fainted on the spot and hospitalized.
To be fair though, unlike liver king, Goggins never asked people to do his "special" training regiment. He want people to step out of their comfort zone and workout.

That’s why we need a Dr. Mike. A shit ton of health gurus, doctors and other fitness influencers recommend TRT just because of age threshold
Having your testosterone elevated all day every day comes with a lot of side effects. Not good for longevity.
I have been on a keto diet for 15 months to lose weight and went from 321 to 202 lbs while simultanously gaining muscle. I LOVE this diet for weight loss, however I observed exactly what you are saying at the end. I run, I bike and I do weights. I am on Keto for 6 weeks and then off, moderately eating healthy carbs, for 1-2. During the pauses my performance, especially running, is no comparison. I can run 1 minute per kilometer faster at the same heart rate during the pause. It feels like flying up the hill on the bike. During the Keto phases it is much harder.
What I like about turkish getups are the awkward loading angles and combinations of joint stabilizations. However, as far as carryover effect, TGUs make you better at TGUs, and thats about it. It is a fun way to test your shoulder mobility and balance, and I like to use it for conditioning drills paired with swings.
Doing Turkish get-ups does make you better at Turkish get-ups, because...you improve
the related kinetic chains and other athletic parameters that this exercise depends upon.
While i do consider it as a "less essential" exercise - yet i'd rather be able to do a Turkish
getup effortlessly when i'm 80, than lifting some heavy shit, while not being able to get up
from the floor at that age.
I am on TRT (my levels were at 93, so it was needed) and it helped me greatly. Mike forgot one important fact, if you start on TRT without needing it, your body will naturally stop producing it, so you will have to take it for the rest of your life.
Example: Larry Wheels.
Incorrect. Your body will (almost always) start producing test again once the exogenous test has cleared, given some time. Drugs can also be used to accelerate this process.
Also not true if you run HCG or similar things alongside, as you don't get shutdown
@@judgejudyandexecutioner.5223if you can survive the depression, usually, yes.
Wrong.. but it takes around a decade to get the body to produce it naturally again
I think that kettlebells are mainly nice because the way they load weight for certain motions and exercises. Dumbbells are totally useable and great, but certain movements the kettlebells feels a little bit easier to manage and get through a proper range of motion. For example, the Turkish get up. I did some variation of this for my injured shoulder maybe it's called a windmill, I can't remember, but it was similar in concept. Stabilize shoulder. While it's a minor gripe, it was slightly better with a kettlebell vs a dumbbell on my wrist, allowed me to keep it straighter, which is a nice advantage when we're talking healing an injury, every little thing could be a game changer.
Since the weight hangs down from the bar, the bells have a lower center of gravity per pound over the dumbbell. This means less leverage, so less “balancing muscle” strength is required. Using a lighter weight with a barbell is identical.
It’s like being “explosive” with a higher weight to feel stronger, rather than making slower movements with a lighter weight that actually challenged your muscles better. It’s a trick to make you feel stronger (or demonstrate strength to your friends/girl) rather than doing what actually makes you stronger.
I was a certified strength training coach in the 2000s. The myths in weight lifting are there to make clients feel better. Showing them the truth is much harder if what you care about is money vs results. I quit because educating clients was almost impossible.
He talked about the Turkish getup in this specific video...
@@teekue uh, yeah dude? That's why I specifically mentioned it lol
@@JasonJrake I totally understand what you're saying, and in my case specifically, it just felt better on my wrist. Perhaps I would have benefit from just a lighter weight as you said and going slower. What I did notice in my experience, was that I was in fact comfortably able to control more weight and get a better connection to the target muscle, just because of where the center of gravity landed and how it felt on my wrist. Perhaps you could argue I needed my wrist examined, but it wasn't chronically in pain, or anything like that
@@stevencosta7248 your reasoning makes sense. The whole “functional strength” fallacy has caused people to not understand the point of exercise. It’s to target muscle groups precisely.
And anything that works for you is better than all the ideal theory in the world.
I am a long time professor of comedy and I like talking about working out ! I love the whole show for its comedy and learning
Im 52 and do HRT for about 8 years. Get blood work done every 6 months. I also work have worked in trades for about 25 years and have weight trained most of my adult life. I notice the recovery times the most, its awesome.
Your going to have cardiac problems... There is no way to avoid it.
@@syberspy9why? Because of hrt?
What do you mean by "i notice the recovery times the most"?
@@johnmachter40 Testosterone helps repair and build muscle tissue. When your Testosterone is low, you're damaging muscle fibers by working out (good) but then not repairing them quickly enough to workout in even 48 hours later. I was around 300 previously and now around 1200 and the difference in recovery is absolutely noticeable.
@@syberspy9 depends on usage
IDK man, I’m building muscle naturally at 41 and it just seems like most TRT proponents on the internet are just people who used steroids who want to make excuses for still using steroids.
Im nearly 40 and just as strong as i was in my youth. I may have lost a bit of energy and stamina but not much. I do everything he mocks; eat lower glycemic diet etc. bros on trt look impressive but cant come close to my strength level.
Total misconception from you, and it’s okay. Influencers and fitness models on “trt” are normally at Supra physiological levels.. aka beyond normal which will cause problems down the line for MOST men.
Congrats on building muscle at 41, maybe look back at your blood work for test levels when you were 24-35… most likely they’ve gone down.
Mid you’re not experiencing any low test symptoms then you’re alright. Trt is like Botox for men, in the way that oftentimes well to do or individuals who have the money can invest in. Trt however will boost most areas of life not just aesthetics.
@@Jooseppeetotal misconception from you aswell but it’s okay.
Hahahaha you have bout a year or 2 max before you hit the wall brother make the most of it now
Exactly correct. They just want a short cut, and then they have to take testosterone for the rest of their lives.

Joe Rogan is the kind of dude who will literally try ANYTHING if you claim it's gonna make you healthier
Two-legged glossolalist social-algorithm parasite
So open-minded his brain fell out a long time ago
He'd probably eat his own dung
Then why didn't he take the clot shot?
Joe is an idiot.
Wait a minute, we don't have drug testing in JiuJitsu LUL
Scrolled a hot minute to find this comment 🤣 Gordon and a lot of other guys talk about their drug use
I know you can overeat carbs, fats and even protein, but for me and it would seem many others it's a lot easier for me to regulate my intake of Rib Eye or potatoes than it is for me to regulate chocolate, sweets or soft drinks. I feel like sugar is the enemy for sure but it's psychological, I'm probably not going to overeat steak and eggs but I'll definitely overeat the crap out of some chocolate.
It is also, most junkfood is calorie dense. If you eat berries yes they have sugar in them, but you have to eat a whole lot of berrys in order for it to make you fat, and at that point you'll at least be sated. Where as a chocolate bar has a lot more sugar within one bite, and you still won't be satisfied.
Sugar has the quality of giving you an injection of insulin, a short burst of energy, and then a crash. This crash signals the hunger parts of the brain. Additionally, the caloric availability of sugar is super high and foods containing a lot of sugar are calorie dense. These qualities are a recipe for disaster for most people trying to control weight which is why "avoid sugar!" is good advice for the health-conscious.
Spot on, potato's, chips, bread, crackers, I can't stop. Steak I have to practically force myself to finish eating it. But then I feel good afterwards. So hard for me not to just know to stay away from carbs and suger🤷♂️
There's just SO much sugar in everything, it's super easy to over consume sugar.
I can go whole life without chocolate or candies, but I'm absolutely addicted to potato chips, that shit has ruined my life
Both guys have great insight.
Congrats on 2mil.subs 🎉👏
My Senior Marine Instructor lives by the Turkish getup. He said it helped for getting off the ground with a heavier load with your hands doing something else, like holding a rifle or when you have a ruck sack on. I enjoyed the functionality

we don't have drug testing in jiujitsu, everyone is on steroids even the teenagers
Have the rules changed? When I competed everyone who competed in IBJJF was subjected to testing.
@@movestattoo4561 They only "test" adult black belt winners at worlds, so one competition and only a few divisions at that competition. The jiujitsu world is rife with steroid usage, most the athletes can pass these specific ibjjf tests as they know when they'll occur.
@@movestattoo4561 Not sure if it got rid of my other reply, but IBJJF only tests Blackbelt Adult divisions at worlds. So one tournament and only a few divisions at that tournament. The athletes know when they'll be tested so for anyone invested enough it's easy enough to pass that test. Even then, some of these athletes still fail (Mica Galvao failed a test while still being a teenager after winning black belt worlds)
that's one reason why I think BJJ is pretty trashy (obviously extremely effective)
@@kevinb123b oh wow, so that’s practically no testing at all 😄so yeah, everyone is saucing there as well.
Guy goes so smoothly from criticism to ad sale I have to check if it's the same video.
The ad read is gold!
Oxidized linoleic acid is indeed unhealthy and does cause inflammation. It's not necessarily seed oils themselves but it's the process around it, processing, high temp oxidation etc. The latest studies were just published on it.
.
yep, they are literally chemically bleached and deodorized in industrial vats... look at Dr Mercolas work on this... not fit for human consumption
Hard agree. The problem with the nutrition community is that it seems like you can find a study that supports your perspective on either side. Its a bit frustrating in that regard. On this topic, I looked through some of the studies Dr. Mike pointed to and the conflict of interest alone is a pretty big red flag.
@@star-warsienAre there any seed oils you know of that are good to cook with? Thinking stir fry etc.
Coconut or liquid coconut oil. You can use olive oil but add water to the pan to keep the temperature down.
dude why has mike not done a joe rogan interview yet

Dr. Mike is very calm in this video. He is also not making fun of Joe Rogan like he do for other people. Dr. Mike don't want to loose his chance to get on JRE 😂😂
Nah, after the seed oils blow up Dr Mike knows how dangerous and awful it is to mock the far right online. They will spend years brigading Mike's content and lying about him the moment he makes fun of one of their idols
He made a rude comment about Jews. That was FKD up.
lol, that was a super smooth ad transition
The reason why people dislike seed oils are mainly 3 things.
1) Their history is shady. They were invented as a way to utilize overproduction & waste of machine lubricant oils, in the same way that Fluoride was for example sold as beneficial because it was just a waste product from aluminium production. That alone is not proof that it's bad per se, but it's admittedly suspicious.
2) Seed oils are mostly extracted by petrochemicals. Any residue left behind in the final product will be detrimental to health in the long run.
3) Chemistry. Seed oils are unsaturated fats, which are healthy but chemically unstable. What happens when you heat unstable chemicals? They degrade. In the case of seed oils, heating them up (cooking) will produce a ton of toxic or even carcinogenic substances which will be detrimental to health. All of that is common knowledge and 7th grade basic chemistry knowledge. Frankly none of this is even debated.
There is a reason why traditionally human cultures use saturated or mono-unsaturated fats for cooking (olive oil, coconut oil, lard, butter, ghee, etc), and that is exactly because of 3), because they are chemically more stable and will degrade less under heat.
On your last point, you say that human cultures traditionally don't use seed oils because they're more chemically stable, but you also say that seed oils were only invented to prevent machine oil wastage.
Surely we're talking about two massively different time periods, no?
@@acojo8205 Up to the 1900s, seed oils were not used at all. The reason they were not used for cooking is because they are chemically unstable, meaning they turn toxic if you heat them, and also they go rancid very fast. You can store natural fats weeks to months at room temperature without them going bad.
In the 1900s, seed oils were first used, because they were a waste product from cotton production. Seed oils were used to oil heavy machinery like tanks. Then some decades later, eventually people started chemically processing them in order to sell them to people to eat. They still are largely unhealthy however, especially when heated.
It's so nice seeing someone talk about fitness who is knowledgeable and well researched instead of just roasting people
I took a low carb and low sugar approach and my A1C went from 6.6 to 5.3 in 6 months. I got rid of bread, rice and soft drinks.
Is that a huge difference?
@@mattleonard5268 Doctors use the A1C test to check for prediabetes and diabetes. A range of 5.7-6.4% suggests a person may have prediabetes. Over 6.5% indicates diabetes. Yes, it is a huge difference.
Same here. Currently on that journey. After changing the diet, I lost 30 lbs. started this channel and decided to start working out. The combo of the dietary change and workouts I’ve gotten down to 5.3, lost 50lbs and have been gaining a lot of muscle mass. Best thing to ever happen to me was learning I was pre diabetic.

LOL, in the UK we're less squeamish about names and just call it "rapeseed oil" - you can but it in any supermarket. Fun fact: The name "rapeseed" comes from the Latin word "rapum", which means "turnip."

Love it thanks
There are more seed oils than rapeseed.

I tried Turkish get ups and everything Rogan is true. They promote grip, balance, stability and stamina. If you don't use the free hand to get up or sit down they definitely are difficult. I started with 15 lb kettle bell and it's a great addition to my process.
In the first clip on Turkish get ups, Rogan was talking to Pavel Tsatsouline. It would be great to hear Mike's take on Pavel's training philosophy. This might not work with clips since he's not online much, but a review of his books, such as Enter the Kettlebell, Power to the People, and The Naked Warrior, could be insightful. In fact, a series of videos reviewing popular fitness books could be an excellent addition to the channel.
Was thinking this exactly. I would pay $1 to hear dr mike talk about pavels routine and approach. Totally up to dr mike if he wants to make money or not
Dr. Mike would have a field day with that "military" style workout video Pavel has
@jmat7000
F$%k a WHOLE ASS DOLLAR?!
Damn he would be such a fool if he passed up this once in a lifetime chance to earn a dollar, especially your dollar :D
Comrade, observe! loved ETK, would be hilarious to see it being reviewed nowadays.
Yup, I was wondering that for a while now. Pavel seems like a dude who's teaching a lot of make believe and doesn't seem to be very jacked or strong himself 🤔 or, at least I didn't see anything of him lifting heavy
The transition into the versa grip ad read...lmao, well played
Mike says, no problem with sugar and seed oils...trust me.
He'll have to come to the argument with a little more data than that.
Agreed that was a horrible take.
Well, rather than just 'trust me bro', he did say there's overwhelming research consensus and that literature is publicly available on PubMed.
Yeah, I'd love to see him defend something like Rapeseed Oil with actual science. It literally comes from an inedible plant, and gets ultra processed before it ever makes it to the store. I'll pass on that.
Also, saying sugar is fine as long as you are counting calories is such bull. He needs to be more specific than that. Are we talking fruit? Table sugar? Corn syrup? Honey? Huge difference between the type of sugar, and honestly I just try to avoid all of it as best I can.
@diesel_tech_three4332 Jacked 5'-5" guys dont really impress me. I know some and they get jacked doing 1/4 the work.
Now show me the 6'-2" lanky fellow that gets jacked. Now that's impressive.
He has always talked highly of sugar and seed oils. I like his training stuff but i would not listen to anything he says about diet. When it comes to diet he only seems to consider calorie in calorie out and it doesnt matter what those calories are. I keep sugar at minimum since i know its bad and i dont need it. Same with seed oils, there's enough signs that suggest its bad for health so i avoid it as much as possible. I avoid ultraprocessed "food" in general.
Small thing about the secret to kettlebells - The true advantage comes when you get to where you can hold the kettlebell out instead of letting it hand, because it fires your stabilizers way more through different movements.

On the TRT, Dr. Mike hit the lifestyle point so well. I had low Free T and doc said it was probably lifestyle. First, I tried TRT to great effect but then I started fixing diet (especially adding more protein), sleep, and stress. I then stopped TRT and kept making huge gains and my Free T stayed in the normal range. It turns out that endurance athletes (even non-competitive marathoners like me) can depress their free testosterone if they don't jack up protein consumption similar to what Dr. Mike advises for bodybuilding. Research shows this negative cycle is accentuated in men as they age if they do a lot of long distance running/swimming/biking. I haven't taken TRT since I learned all this. I'm still getting stronger and building muscle.
Ahhh, makes my day, another perfectly intergrated, totally unexpected versa gripps ad 😊
Haha thank you Alana!!!
Isn't the problem with seed oils about highly-processed vs cold-pressed? I thought that makes the difference, and that the 'processed' ones are the unhealthy ones but I might need to look into this more as it seems. I hope this guy doesn't just completely ignore this aspect because I really like him.
What highly processed means to do you and why do you think it must induce negative things to the food? Ever seen how cheese is made? Whey protein? Yet both are great for the body. You need to start looking at things for what they are. Energy drinks are processed and bad. Milk is processed and good. Poisonous fruits are organic and non processed and bad. Other fruits are organic and non processed and good.
seed oils will kill you if you have too much!!! oooooh no, just like every other oil lol
Cheese is good for people who enjoy having heart disease
None of these commenters or even this doctor seem to be big on the nuances of nutrition. Saying cheese is great for the body is a joke, as well as seed oils. The studies they talk about aren't sited, and they're probably funded by food companies who depend on using seed oils
All that processed protein bars and seed oils keeping you big as hell
I mean yeah if you're eating shit loads of oil and poor protein sources. No shit. Luckily whey is a pretty good source, lean or even fatty meats are great and beyond a good balance of fats, you don't really need much more fat than you'll get through meats and some dairy or nuts/etc. a bit of seed oil doesn't do shit if your diet was good to begin with.
