Hi Dr. Mike, on a future episode could you address scoliosis and bodybuilding symmetry? I have a slight curve in my back which means there are muscle imbalances.

I had fairly slow eccentrics already, I slowed down even more studying to be a personal trainer, after watching your videos I'm dropping weight and making normally light weights feel well like... heavy weights lol. Strict form and proper engagement of muscles makes things very different thank you for the info
Nice man, but don't try force light weight to feel heavy. You need to be using weight that challenges you within the 6-12 rep range to create mechanical tension which is the main driver of muscle growth btw
honestly it needs to be said. ive learned more in a couple of videos from you mike then i have on all of youtube i feel like. and im loving the analysis of there videos lol

Won't lie that's my MAIN motivation for getting a bigger chest. The goal is to have my chest stick out more than stomach at higher BF ratios. This is not a drill - that's my actual goal. Glad to hear it being validated. :D
The biggest take away that’s helped me improve on technique and muscle growth has been getting that full stretch and controlling the pace. Only through that have I seen the biggest improvements

When it started with those no reps on smith I thought it was gonna go way different, but props to these guys for being helpful at best and pretty harmless at worst. Cool of Dr. Mike for not forcing attrition for clout, not that he would ever but we can't take it for granted haha
It's not about the size or shape of the muscle cells. It's about the color. Most people have red or white muscle cells, but with the correct training you can achieve blue muscle cells, which improve your swimming ability and allow you to access the underwater parts of the gym. And if you really dedicate yourself, you can even achieve the vaunted golden muscle cells, which allow you to fly and access *all* parts of the gym.
"You put a human male on a barbell, they're gonna go to failure." Men are so cute 😂 Men-at-the-gym energy is my favorite male energy. It's just so wholesome.
I literally can't help it. I'm early 50's, so clearly I should be focusing on slower reps, less weight, protect the joints, longevity, etc. But once I get to the gym, all of that careful planning and forethought is out the window! I get excited and have to tell myself to chill out (using inner voice, I don't say it out loud...haha)
I'd like to see Dr. Mike plan out a training plan for a celebrity taking on a superhero role. Someone that wants to do most, if not all, of their own stunts too. Wolverine, Batman, etc.
That was DEFINITELY way too much volume for one workout. It works when you're younger, but as age goes up and injuries start to creep up on you, the amount of exercises will destroy you. I have a messed up pec/shoulder from a car accident a few years ago, which impacts how much chest work I can do. I would have to call it quits after about 2 exercises, and they did 10. Definitely better to break this workout up into 2 separate days.
depends on overall volume and intensity, you could do ten exercises (if felt the need for whatever reason) at one set each and that's only 10 sets. That and everyone is different. some people make better gains with more volume even whilst using a lot of intensity, others can get away with less

If we can make recommendations then I have to shoutout the natty kings: Geoffrey Verity Schofield, Alex Leonidas, Bald Omni Man and Natural Hypertrophy.
they did shortened partials(Contraction to half) which hasn't had backing for any significant growth for some time especially in experienced lifters or beginners which could still get some growth but not as much as full ROM or lengthened partials(stretch to half). If I misunderstood your comment let me know because I'm not trying to come at you.
I love your info on the close grip, I would put my hands close but would feel it in my shoulder and it would pop and was so uncomfortable. I just thought that’s how you do them. But thank you for explaining
Dr. Mike, I have a question about the whole muscle density thing… there is a difference between hypertrophy and hyperplasia in the muscle, right? And there are some pretty clear as day cases of somebody with significantly smaller muscle volume being an order of magnitude stronger than somebody with HIGHER muscle volume. Even though I know that other things factor into that like motor unit recruitment etc.. But I thought that there was actually a pretty general consensus that there IS such a thing as muscle density… could you perhaps elaborate further on that? Or is that a thing where science hasn’t necessarily uncovered the inner workings of that, or? Anyways, I would appreciate a response. Am pretty interested in stuff like this. Thank you in advance.
There is variety in density between different people. He's saying that density wouldn't give the visual effect that they are saying they want from looking "dense." It would basically have the opposite effect, visually.
I follow both parties. This video was hilarious. I watch the Tren Twins, and think most people do, for motivation and their bro comedy. I doubt people watch for “scientific” explanations. Whether or not their methods are “correct” or not, and what they are taking, you have to admit their physiques are well built. Loved the video and was entertained from start to finish
100% Big chest is usually a decent indicator of "gym bro/gear head who thinks they can fight but can't" and the people who actually want to mess with you are usually insecure people who want to bully other to prove how tough they are. Don't get me wrong, being big overall will reduce chances because of sheer physics but its not the big chest thats doing it.
@@HeadCannonPrime haha it was a fair comment in context if these guys. He's not wrong, doing endless junk volume into your 30s and above is a horrible idea
Man, I am loving all you stuff. Guess I need to get the app. Can you throw some sarcastic comments in the app to get us pumped up! Keep up the good work
Jeff Nippard, Mike Isratel, and Jeff Cavalier all pretty much align on the science topics. I've been on a Athlean-X program for 3 years and its almost exactly what Dr. Mike says. The only thing is that Athlean is more of a whole body athlete performance coach rather than a growth/bodybuilder focus like Mike and Nippard. So you get a lot more corrective and mobility exercises than straight hypertrophy growth. For example an Athlean program may have you do explosive box jumps some days instead of heavy squats.
Nice to see Dr. Mike critiquing two of the finest intellectuals of our time.

I love your info on the close grip, I would put my hands close but would feel it in my shoulder and it would pop and was so uncomfortable. I just thought that’s how you do them. But thank you for explaining
I genuinely had a 30 minute existential crisis over the in the head thing you said, thanks Mike!
Dr. Mike,
I have a question about the whole muscle density thing… there is a difference between hypertrophy and hyperplasia in the muscle, right? And there are some pretty clear as day cases of somebody with significantly smaller muscle volume being an order of magnitude stronger than somebody with HIGHER muscle volume. Even though I know that other things factor into that like motor unit recruitment etc.. But I thought that there was actually a pretty general consensus that there IS such a thing as muscle density… could you perhaps elaborate further on that? Or is that a thing where science hasn’t necessarily uncovered the inner workings of that, or? Anyways, I would appreciate a response. Am pretty interested in stuff like this.
Thank you in advance.
There is variety in density between different people. He's saying that density wouldn't give the visual effect that they are saying they want from looking "dense." It would basically have the opposite effect, visually.
I follow both parties. This video was hilarious. I watch the Tren Twins, and think most people do, for motivation and their bro comedy. I doubt people watch for “scientific” explanations. Whether or not their methods are “correct” or not, and what they are taking, you have to admit their physiques are well built. Loved the video and was entertained from start to finish
Is it comedy? From what I can tell, they are genuinely cretins, it's not an act.
The commentary is awesome. Especially the ones made under your breath.
Glad to see your channel blowing up been subscribed awhile. Havent been watching lately this was entertaining
In terms of "nobody want to mess with you": traps, shoulders and arms >>>>> chest
100% Big chest is usually a decent indicator of "gym bro/gear head who thinks they can fight but can't" and the people who actually want to mess with you are usually insecure people who want to bully other to prove how tough they are. Don't get me wrong, being big overall will reduce chances because of sheer physics but its not the big chest thats doing it.
I mean ears is the absolute top of the list
For me it's forearms. Gym going or just some good old fashioned farmboy strength you don't fuck with the guy with Popeye forearms.
2:15 this didn't age very well
What happened?
What’s that even mean
Manic mike and dr mike need to do a work out vid
I hate how much good information you have. Overall an amazing video made me sub.
came for the content, stayed for the insane camera quality and grading
Watching this after Mikey’s pec tear😔
“When you get older, 25”
😢
me
😂 i must be dead already 😅
33, one foot in the grave basically
@@BrofUJu 46, I already died, and am just a zombie shuffling metal plates.
@@HeadCannonPrime haha it was a fair comment in context if these guys. He's not wrong, doing endless junk volume into your 30s and above is a horrible idea
I see that wisdom pouring out of their eyes lol. Or I'm simply too old for this modern times "sophisticated" social media content 😂
Good job explaining the eccentric movement! I also bro lift and move faster when I get tired. I appreciate the focus, nicely done!
I don't know what triggered your video to pop up on my phone, but I'm really enjoying hearing you talk.
So many gen z kids screaming at their monitor right now.
0:18 “…bro repS” 😏
9:17very demure
Mike, this is pure gold. Thank you!
Man, I am loving all you stuff. Guess I need to get the app. Can you throw some sarcastic comments in the app to get us pumped up! Keep up the good work
Now the pec tear happened
Let's see you bring Will Tenneson into the gym!
I would love to see that! Will's ultra positive vibe and Mike's no bullshit would be a really good combo.
Just proves that as long as you have good genetics it almost doesn’t matter how you lift weights.
We don’t deserve this collab, we needed it ❤
the pausing when doing any workout works for me and i feel it in my muscles
The part where he mentioned injury did not age well 😬
This aged well
Why? What happened?
You should review your fellow science based fellow Jeff Caviar from Athlean X
Jeff Nippard, Mike Isratel, and Jeff Cavalier all pretty much align on the science topics. I've been on a Athlean-X program for 3 years and its almost exactly what Dr. Mike says. The only thing is that Athlean is more of a whole body athlete performance coach rather than a growth/bodybuilder focus like Mike and Nippard. So you get a lot more corrective and mobility exercises than straight hypertrophy growth. For example an Athlean program may have you do explosive box jumps some days instead of heavy squats.
@@HeadCannonPrimeidk how you could be so god damn wrong lol mikes literally taken shots at Jeff for some of the really dumb things he’s said
Honestly im just here for the free learning, always appreciate some free science i love this channel lol
I love the Jersey shore, music edit every time you cut to the twins talking
Muscle maturity is just collagen leaving the skin 😂
Jesus saves!
