I would pay $9.99 a month to see exclusive videos of Dr. Mike and Jared feather going to different influencers and online coaches and putting them through a leg workout similar to this.
Big shout-out to Ethan for having come so far (and being this brave), and to the crew -- this was wonderful. Mike's looking rather lean, wondering when the show's gonna be? As always, great work, guys.
@Democrats are cunts deciding to change your life and losing more than 250 pounds takes something most people don't possess. Call it grit, bravery, determination, whatever you want. When you reach the point where you're more than 250 pounds overweight it's more than just some flippant "putting down the Twinkies" and you know this. What he did was hard and most people couldn't have done it. The guy deserves the credit and not the dismissive bullshit.
@Democrats are cunts nobody is perfect contrary to what your opinion of yourself may be. We all create problems for ourselves of all shapes and sizes. People deserve credit for recognizing them and actively working to change themselves for the better. Basically every other living human with even a modicum of a soul agrees. You're of course entitled to your cold hearted high and mighty opinion.
I never cease to be in awe of the skills of coaches who seem to be able to tell, just using their hard-earned trained eye, whether a client (often even a new one) really is on the edge of failure. When even the client himself doesn't know, let alone anyone else. Without this skill all you have is dumb cheerleading. (Not that that's always entirely without its place.) I have no ability to do this whatsoever. But then again, neither does nearly any strength coach I've ever seen!
whenever I feel like giving up in the middle of a set, I hear Dr Mike's voice "that's bullshit" also, what a transformation for Ethan Suplee, holy shit what a difference
This is awesome! I always really liked that actor. I was worried about his health because he was so big back in the day. It is so cool to see him happy, healthy, and strong all these years later.
Ethan you are my inspiration! You look awesome! I weigh 387lbs. I have been trying the chicken and broccoli diet. Hoping to get down to 240. My workouts are with light weights until I get my weight down.
"You're training, not moving" - i think it's the smartest advice i ever heard, i have a feeling my quality of training just gone up just by knowing that
Just watched Ethan’s weight loss vid, dude looks like he is adding years and years to his life. Good thing since they looked like they died a little in that workout.
Best quote ever - Charlie = 13:01 - If you feel like you're done, finish off strong - don't throw away the last reps. That's it, just do it. You can cry about it afterwards.
1 of the greatest things I look forward to when watching Dr Mike’s videos is his Grade A Top Shelf Intros 😂 they’re freaken epic 👌 oh yeah the training is also out of this planet 🤣 hope I get to meet the RP 1 day 😊
My man Mike said "Find more reps somewhere".... The look on their face was like just tell me where I will buy some!!! Fantastic video like always you guys are amazing and good work you guys hustled hard!
I didn’t recognize Ethan until he smiled.lol Also I’m enjoying the deadlifts and Mike’s cursing. That’s brutal! Good form! Deep deadlifts. I guess I’m doing legs tomorrow.
12:00 when you suddenly notice that Jared has giant ass hands. You know how Tom Cruise had prosthetic hands in Tropic Thunder? That's what it looks like.
God damn I had to google Ethan Suplee to realize I know his face very well. What a difference. Acting is tough job on body holy shit. And he is one tough guy to go through that change.
I have no idea why I'm like six months late watching this, but this was hilarious and I laughed out loud multiple times. Best part by far is Ethan curled up after the squat to body weight squat super set. Amazing.
I can't believe how great Ethan Suplee looks. I saw him all jacked in some other videos before and he seems to only be improving, but for those who may not remember him and how big he was, you should look him up and it will ring a bell. I just saw the movie Evolution on tv this weekend. He's pretty damn big in that one. Of course you also got American History X.
Does anyone know if there's a disagreement between Dr. Mike and Eric Helms about what to do (specifically for hypertrophy, if it makes a difference) with athletes whose performance drops off dramatically from set to set? Should we let the reps drop down below the target range, with the idea being that dropping the weight would result in sets not, indeed, being done at the proper and true assigned RM, and even being potentially "junk volume"? Or should we drop the weight to match the assigned reps, with the idea being that what actually matters is the pattern of fiber recruitment characterized by sets of a given length (done to an appropriate RIR, of course), so that, for example, sets of only a few reps would not give a sustained enough fiber recruitment opportunity for maximum hypertrophy? I believe I have seen Dr. Mike defending the former position on his "junk volume" interview video; whereas Dr. Eric seems to defend the latter in his book. I've always thought this was something given strangely little attention in general.
Mike is definitely of the 'keep the weight the same' and lets the reps per set fall where they may based on RIR mindset. He's mentioned on a podcast before that large rep drop offs are likely indicative of a higher ratio of fast twitch to slow twitch muscle fibers, and that there isn't anything wrong with large rep drop offs assuming target RIR is met.
My honest opinion is that as long as you keep getting a very high SFR it doesn't really matter if your reps are dropping. Well as long as they don't drop down to like 1,2 or 3. This happens to me a lot actually. And I still haven't seen any issues with progression.
@@schonsense I seem to remember mike saying something along the lines of keep the weight the same unless you drop below the target rep range, in which case you drop the weight enough to stay there. But also as Daniel Dimov says, it probably doesn't matter much (if at all) unless you're getting into really low reps.
Interesting! I thought so. But elsewhere Dr. Mike in characterizing heavy versus light training had characterized heavy sets as delivering a much bigger stimulus to muscle fibers compared to lighter sets, but doing so for fewer fibers because there isn't time in the set to recruit them all as they become needed as the set wears on. If this is true then at least *this* aspect of the frontier between the “strength” and “hypertrophy” ranges is characterized not by *intensity* (and only incidentally by actual rep count), but rather by the rep count *itself* . So this aspect at least would suggest you drop the weight when fatigue separates performable reps from RM; you sacrifice the RM not the actual reps, if you do the reverse you might not be spending enough time under the weight to get the thorough hypertrophic stimuli. Importantly, note that there really isn't anything more in keeping with the RIR mindset with either choice! Even if you choose to drop the weights, you're still using the RIR method to tell you where to stop the new lighter set. It's the assigned *RM* that you've moved off of; indeed, Dr. Eric himself is an RIR advocate and recommends using RIR in just this way for the “drop the weight” protocol. I still don't know what to think! Again, I can't believe this isn't one of the most prominent discussions in all of strength training; it seems to be staring you right in the face every time you pick up a weight.
Funniest most inspiring thing I've watched all week, and it's leg day for me today.... I'm gonna die. Whether it's in tears from laughing right now, or later today from my workout, I'm not sure yet.
I'm feeling that pain with the nauseous leg day nonsense. I could train any other part of my body all day long, I get into those legs and my stomach wants to make an appearance.. One thing has helped is rotating between a leg exercise and a big upper body exercise like pull ups to try to move the blood back upwards.
Today is my first leg day on this meso cycle trying Dr. Mike hypertrophy training, I don't have access to any machines so I'm doing Good mornings Romanian (stiff leg) Deadlift Lunge/Hack Squat s.s. Back Squat Standing Barbell Calf Raises Seated Calf Raise with plates Weighted Side Crunch
Such an inspirational transformation. Glad he's actually getting advice from some of the best of the best with so many shit personal trainers out there in Hollywood.
I didn’t subscribe before because it was always him talking about science I didn’t understand shit what he was saying now with the training videos I subscribe this is what I like to see . Less talking more action
Mike has come such a long way with his company. I remember watching those recorded lectures from many years ago.
Apollyon right? He’s awesome, deserves more attention.
Nice profile pic.
Same with like 10k subs
Mike: "You're gonna lose to an actor? He's faking all of this!"
hilarious and brutal

07:36 let us collect ourselves for squatting - i would've puked right than and there
Haven't seen a bodybuilding video with this intensity in a while. Good stuff.
Tom plats would approve
4:10 "So essentialy we're flirting with Failure..." Mike dropping us pickup tips!
Am I the only one that also remembers him from American History X?
Love that movie.
@PogChamp watch it again, it's great
@? *starts eating jellybeans off the coffee table like an ingrate*
@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. wow that's a lot, is it your favourite film?
Damn I didn't even recognize him at first
The movie Butterfly effect is another one, plays the Goth student thumper.
whenever I feel like giving up in the middle of a set, I hear Dr Mike's voice "that's bullshit"
also, what a transformation for Ethan Suplee, holy shit what a difference
“I feel so vulnerable right now” from Ethan had me dying. 😂. Such a down to earth guy
Watching the workout videos is like watching a new saw film
This is awesome! I always really liked that actor. I was worried about his health because he was so big back in the day. It is so cool to see him happy, healthy, and strong all these years later.
I watched this while doing warm up cardio.
Motivated as hell now.
Let’s see how I feel after.
I remember him from My name is Earl, great show.
I been rewatching it lately and holy shit he looks amazing right now compared to then.
"its all relative" Hat offs!

Congratz on the 100k milestone ♥ to a million soon ♥ keep up the great content guys !!
Tbh, the advice about just doing it and crying about it after really got me, thanks.
That was AWESOME!!! Mike, your coaching and pushing was perfect. Well done!
This was great. So much inspiration. I need to have someone to tell me "Did I stutter?! 4 more fuckin' reps!"
“Let us collect ourselves for squatting” lmaooo Mike is a fuckin comic
They got Charlie puking but his quads are perfection 👌🏽
LOVE this training videos!
Just watched Ethan’s weight loss vid, dude looks like he is adding years and years to his life. Good thing since they looked like they died a little in that workout.

So often do they train legs at this intensity? Once a week???
More of these please
Omg I’m so scared he’s gonna break his leg locking out like that
Nah.
Actually the whole knee leg press thing is kinda a myth. The people that get their knees destroyed usually have hyper flexible knees
Its a combo of hyperflexible knees and people doing quarter reps with stupid amount of weights that they cant actually do properly lol
