Lets keep it real here.. substituting protein powder for tuna isn't the real reason why he gained weight.. especially not with those workouts Mike Rashid got him doing. Mike needs to make a surprise visit to ole boy crib and see whats really going on.
Hafa P. Ur right. He’s still eating crap, probably binging. I can relate, had to clean up the crap and eat clean, in order to lose the weight. Nutrition is 80%.
Nah, Mike's got him doing all of that heavy lifting. He's probably put on a ton of muscle which increases the weight. Big Mike will get slimmer before he loses pounds.
Love that Mike is taking in a real project as oppose to fake pre planned already know the outcome stuff ...you can tell this guy is challenging and growing Mike as a trainer ...super dope I love this as much as the alpha shred !!
I'm over 400lbs and just started my journey to get healthy about two months ago. I go to a gym and work out with a trainer 5 times a week. This video series is really inspiring. I feel like I need to give more effort to my workouts after watching you guys.
jpkp012345 negga I was kidding he should not waste mikes time fool in mike was to train my fat ass I’ll be fit because I’m going to follow his advice to the t that’s top level training fool
Take advantage of what God puts in your path!! It’s individuals who in or out of shape would move to Arizona to receive training from Mike! Mike God has this for you!! Don’t let it pass! Treat everyday as you trying to empty the ocean with a spoon. Greatness is the hardest commitment you have to dedicate to!!
I've started my journey with Big Mike too. Watching all these videos getting informed and puting this stuff into practice. Down 15 lbs so far. Yo, your helping a lot of people bro. Thanks!
You have a opportunity of a life time to train with a professional trainer. Don't let that opportunity go to waste. Millions of people would jump on this opportunity in a heart beat. I salute you Mike for pushing him even when he is fatigued.
Mike.....proud of you. Most people would see how much work you have to put in and once they actually do they quit. Keep on fighting. For those solo workouts, get some good headphones. They block out all outside distractions and let you put in that work.
Yeah.. All that cardio and bullshit he is doing. Just give him a decent nutrition plan and he will drop that weight. Something seriously wrong that he's gaining after all that!
Beno C I think the cardio with weight resistance is still good ( the more muscle you have the more fat you’ll burn) but it’s up to Big Mikes integrity to hold the nutrition side up when Rasheed’s not around. You can lead a horse to water.. you know the rest.🤷🏾♂️
@@championchuck777 sure it's good but what's even better is losing weight without doing anything just because you get your nutrition dialed. That's where he should start, then integrate the gym in a manageable amount.
Beno C I agree, but he’s already active. Stopping someone like him at his health stage to just focus on nutrition alone, would have him throw in the towel and binge. It takes dedication and discipline to see nutritional results, and it doesn’t come over night. At least the fitness part will expedite things a bit faster for him.
@@championchuck777 I don't think he should stop I just don't think the endless cardio is the way. It's clearly not helping because he put weight on? He's a strong guy, get him squatting heavy weight, that will still burn fat, keep him strong and burn cals without feeling like he's entering a torture chamber when he enters the gym.
Love this series! As an over the road truck driver I know the struggles of weight loss all too well! At 5 ft 10 255lbs I definitely have a few pounds to lose. Thanks for getting me off the couch!
I loved it! At 19:11 to see how red his eyes were. I fell on the floor laughing because I understood that type of pain and mental adversity against yourself. This is where trusting your coach in believing what he sees in you that can't be seen by yourself makes all the difference. Especially when all the voices in your head are telling and asking you "can you do more?, we can stop, you did a lot already, etc". tapping into the new you feels like it's suicide but, when you finish you can't help but ask yourself, "can I go a little further next workout"? Then somehow your coach becomes the voice in your head telling you like Mike "come on! I need more you can do it". That's a good friend and training partner. Thanks, Mike for sharing and friend for having the courage to go through the workout.
I’m 308lb so i understand what big mike is going through but the opportunity that he has right now what I would do to have mike rashid train and help me with diet I wouldn’t be putting weight on so soon
I'm a bigger man myself. I've already lost about 70lbs. Yeah i come from an athletic background playing football during high school and couple of yrs of college. I basically had to go back to the basics by just getting up and walking. Of course now I'm building upon that to do more athletic things that make me uncomfortable. Big Mike keep doing your thing and stay on the course you'll get your goal. Thanks Mike Rashid, this is helping many people seeing someone else struggle with weight and keeping them focused on what's on the other side once it is all said and done.
Yeah I'm better than I was, but I still got some more work to go before I'm satisfied. I appreciate the compliment. At the end It's all about building each other up in accomplishing our goals and holding everyone accountable.
That 300lbs ain't no damn joke. I was at 320lbs, I've lost 85lbs and bike mike is doing better then I am right now. This is a real trainer, he didnt make the excuse of the weight gain being turning fat into muscle. I'm gonna try the noise breathing only.
Good job Mike. I wonder how his mental state is at home? Does he struggle and we dont see it? Is someone checking in on him outside of him working out with you? Does he have an accountability partner? Losing weight is emotional and a struggle. If your mind starts to wander and slip, it effects your results. Hes doing great.. 💪💪💯
This is very encouraging stuff, Man training with Rashid is a rare opportunity. Big mike is gonna get in crazy shape with this type of intensity and he will take on a warrior mindset with Rashid's boot camp
You are the good at it all. Mental, physical, and motivational coaching. You believe in your clients and fans and you provide what is needed in all areas. But you are dead on... that mental shit will take you out of the game all the time. Thanks for what you do for the world to see.
I’m all for intense training, but personally when someone has 100+ lbs to lose, I think it’s better to give them 3-4 simple exercises per workout and put a majority of the focus on diet. These workouts are so intense that his appetite is probably through the roof. So he’s likely cheating on the diet and not admitting it. I also worry about joint health with all the running. Just my thoughts 🤷🏾♂️
I agreed with you 1000000000%. Diet is the key to weight loss, he could be in the gym for 24hrs but if the diet is not right he aint going to loss weight.
Completely 100% right. It's fucking painful watching this and the weight gain just confirmed exactly what I thought would happen. Mike knows how to get swole.. This dude needs to fix his nutrition before being tortured in the gym..
That's corny man. Intense workouts don't increase appetites for everyone, some people say it makes them not want to eat. And even if it is, it comes down to discipline. If you are super hungry, eat some low calorie veggies so you can pig out and not take in so many calories. Increasing your strength and conditioning is never a bad thing.
kobeballer As a former athlete, my appetite was wayyyy higher after tough track practices than it is now just lifting weights/some cardio. That’s not up for debate, its simple. You’re burning way more calories. And I can also tell you that even though you’re burning more calories, it often makes it even easier to overeat. Why? Bc after a brutal workout, especially for beginners the last thing you want to think about is eating tuna broccoli etc. You’re hungry af and you’re gonna go for that pizza or wings. I agree with your point about needing to be disciplined but I’m just saying it’s much easier to get to that point if you start with a more reasonable approach. There’s no need to have a 300 lb man running miles on top of an already tough workout filled with sled pushes and supersets. Focus on one thing at a time
No sugar coat. Big Mike I know you read the comments. This the first time as a fan of this series I was disappointed. You making excuses. My knee, Tuna, can't bend, etc. Bro you got this. Fix that diet and let's get this man! No more excuses!
@@coreyjohnson967 what? The channel is informative and ENTERTAINMENT. That's exactly what it is. You obviously didnt read my post. It was encouraging him, not downing him. Excuses are for the weak. Big Mike is gonna reach his goals. As I said, he got this. I'm encouraging him to stop making excuses and just get it done.
keep it going BiG MIKE. man we are rooting for you. Im a big guy to and im trying to incorporate a lot of what your doing in my workouts. and on my b day 9/24 . i did 225 for 6 count. and i hadn't done that since leaving the navy. keep up the good work
I wish I was being coached like this ! I cannot wait to see this mans finished product he will look really lean and chiseled ! I’m down 37 pounds on my journey to loosing 100lbs I was at 296 and now I’m at 259
I have been waiting for this sooooo long. Thank you Jesus! Have incorporated a few of his work outs in my gym routine. It’s tough! Luv u both. I would luv to see u train a plus size woman. From Montreal baby.
K G. I agree, like him I was working out for years and eating crap, fooling myself into thinking if I worked out I could continue eating whatever I wanted. I’m finally learning to eat better, and learning that nutrition is 80% of weight loss. I still have problems with binging but it’s tough. Lost 30lbs and struggling to get 20 more off. He will eventually get it about his nutrition. Many of us can relate to his struggles.
You may think you’re failing and making a fool of yourself on camera, but you’re doing the exact opposite you’re inspiring people everywhere including myself and I honestly can’t wait to see you in the best shape of your life!!! Let’s go big mike!!!
Mad props to you big mike for putting in the work..stay focused my dude..you were chosen by Mike because he saw the potential in you...you’ve been given a shot that a lot of people would kill to be in your place! You got this big dawg just keep grindin and you’ll get it!!
Mike Rashi this video made me laugh and at the same time happy to see such video, it reminded me of the three guys I'm training, I also punch them hard. As you said nothing easy, as I also tell them. You want result work hard and you guys will see result. One of them weighted 375 now he is at 360lbs. Hopefully today he should weight 359 lbs if not his ass is mind lol, I will work his ass harder then ever lmao. Once more thanks for you're videos, they rely help us to help others. My Regards from Dominican republic. God bless. Hope to see your next video soon, my respect.
Get'em together Mike! No excuses just results! Tear them mental barriers down! Lets go big mike, dont let nothing punk you out step to every challenge! This what you signed up for im rooting for you!
Big Mike I'm pulling for you, but coming from a personal trainer, I know when clients are slipping. That scale never lies. You're cheating on your workouts or your food if that number starts moving in the wrong direction. Let's go now, exercise discipline. You got this.
Big Mike, I'm rooting for you but I can see it in your face and the excuses your trying to give that you want to give up. I've been on all three sides skinny, muscular and obese, so I understand what's going through your head. This is when you NEED to REMEMBER why you're doing this and the GOALS you need to achieve. I am on my own 100lbs journey, I started at 341lbs and I am down to 330lbs in 10 days. You can do this man just remember DEDICATION / PERSEVERANCE.
Yo big mike putting in that work.👍🏾💯I wish I can workout with you. I've been moved by the vids. Your will to step out of that comfort zone. 💯I've lost 4lbs now I'm at 340lbs. Still working on that broke man diet.🤣🤣👍🏾💯💯keep up with the hard work🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾
Derrick 2Times goodluck with your weightloss. Look into intermittent fasting. Ive lost 20lbs so far and scale keeps going down. Not to mention i feel better. I would do it even if it didnt produce weight loss
I hope he know's how fortunate he is to have Mike Rashid take him own and share his knowledge, energy, time and provide the Ambrosia line to assist with him reaching his goal. True Jewels
C'mon Big Mike. I hope he isnt cheating. I dont understand how he's gaining weight. The water weight alone should've dropped him 20 pounds in these last 4 weeks. Edit: Big Mike i'm rooting for you man. Keep working hard.
2 things.. 1 he had said he started losing before starting this training.. so the initial water weight was probably lost. 2 he weighed himself in sweat drenched clothes after probably drinking half a gallon of water during workout.. gonna have a false reading. Now don't get me wrong.. a can of tuna alone ain't gonna cause a real weight gain.. so if he legit gained 3.2 pounds. Then he's either eating way too much salt and retaining water.. or calorically is iff.. either starving himself or going into surplus. If next episode he's down 10 pounds. Well know it was just a bad weigh in at gym.
@@mikozuna you don't gain weight starving yourself.. Especially not when you weigh 300+lbs. He needs to get his eating in control before slogging himself in the gym doing cardio that's just making him hungry.
Michael J. Schaefer Two things. One, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Two, Big Mike should be under 290lbs right now regardless. He’s doing something wrong. It’s been 4 week for christ sake. I’ve seen multiple people his weight drop 20-30lbs in 3 weeks eating in a deficit while working out. Big Mike is somehow gaining weight. His clothes don’t matter, stop making excuses for him.
Big Mike i'm proud of the fact that your not giving up.I know it's hard but don't give up my brother.I myself are doing the same workout and I know for a fact that it's hard as Hell, keep on pushing Big Mike!
I agree man. Hes destroying his knees. Joint strength isnt proportionate to muscular strength. Less jumping and running. The Bike machine would be better for cardio.
I’m with you on this journey big mike. Going for the 100 pounds lost. I started at 306 and already down to 296. You got this brotha, stay on track with your diet. Let’s get it boss man!
That's why we need to manage ourselves before we get too far gone. Eat well stay discipline food is the biggest addiction we all have. Keep pushing Big Mike!!!
Big Mike trying to BS. This breakthrough stage 1. Gotta push through. Mike had that look like who the hell you think you are to change the meal plan I put you on lol.
What ive learned from fight training is that a trainer knows when a client is slacking based on how they workout. Pushups shouldn't be a challenge right now Mike..Go hard all the time or Go Home.. Stop slacking You Got This
Get that 100 big mike. Stay strong and consistent. I finally got off the couch to start working out and I could barely do 5 push ups. It was a very humbling experience but I'm going to keep at it and stay strong and consistent like big mike.
Big Mike is a beast! Way to push through bro! I'm inspired to increase my intensity. Mike Rashid I appreciate this kind of content and look forward to seeing Mike's transformation! I like that you show the ups and downs. As with life, we will have set backs, but we have to work hard and push through even if we feel like giving up.
Look Mike -- I look forward to these videos every week. I was expecting to see you in the 200's by now. You inspire me to not quit. I get motivation just to see you push. Don't let us down man. I know you slipped this week with the weight gain. It happens! But I still belueve in you. Do what Mike Rashid tells you when he's not around push, push, push! You're motivating and inspiring a lot of people viewing this content whether you realize it or not. Mike hasn't given up on you and we won't I'm expecting a weight loss in the next video. Stay on that diet, dont slip. I'm hitting it extra just for you tomorrow in the gym...👍
Greek Physique Mike Rashid knows he's cheating. He just didnt say it. He's going to call Big Mike out sooner or later if that weight dont start falling off.
@ash leigh Ok ill give that a shot. Its wierd to because I went to a nose, throat, and ear doctor and they said everything looks normal. But yeah yiur right it maybe a dairy problem because I eat cheese like nobody's business lol
@ash leigh No I havnt seen those yet but im going to watch it right now on my down time. I have heard some pretty bad stories on milk production though. Thank you very much for the information as well, it should be very interesting to watch.
Buddy Rare sounds like a deviated septum. I dated a guy that didn’t know he had it, He couldn’t breath through his nose when we kissed, thought it was weird. After I told him, he had it checked our. It can be corrected with minor surgery. He breaths fine now, we still talk, but no kissing. He’s married.
ash leigh. I follow fledge fitness, tried the fasting with no luck. I’m with weight watchers, lost 30lbs. So far. Need to take off another 20lbs. Thanks for the suggestion.
ash leigh Lol. You follow all the right people. Fledge Fitness, Thomas DeLauer, (probably Dr. berg as well ??). They're all so magnificent and really informative. Sharon, Congrats on the weight loss!! Have you tried to figure out why IF didn't work for you? Because if you do and fix what went wrong, you might be able to use IF to keep the weight off. Next to benefitting from all the great and superb health benefits IF provides.
@@rdot980 keto doesn't mean starve yourself. He can start with just going keto but not a calorie deficit.. Get plenty of protein to help with the gym. He needs to lose weight first, built muscle second.
Rooting for you big mike..hang in there..it takes work, self discipline..u be proud with end results..keep pressing through and keep your head in the positive, if he says u can do it, u can do it..watching with admiration
I don’t think big mike is as dedicated as he portrays. There is no point in cheating, ur wasting both your time when you do. Especially Mike Rashid’s time that he’s taking because he cares enough to see it through with you. Get your mind right dude and train until it’s easy to train
You don't know this man's health history or his personal life you act like he's eating ice cream and cookies worry about yourself not his,weight-loss or Mikes time
@@Joelcebada why not. He can lose 2lbs a week like any one can if they have the correct calorie deficit. People lie about what they eat.. The only way you can control that is to lock him in a cage.
I believe in you Big Mike! You got this! I know you want it! You been a big inspiration for me and I’m here pushing myself because of you. So let’s go!
Lets keep it real here.. substituting protein powder for tuna isn't the real reason why he gained weight.. especially not with those workouts Mike Rashid got him doing. Mike needs to make a surprise visit to ole boy crib and see whats really going on.
Tuna is usually lower in calories.
Hafa P. Ur right. He’s still eating crap, probably binging. I can relate, had to clean up the crap and eat clean, in order to lose the weight. Nutrition is 80%.
Hafa P FACTS!
With these caliber workouts he should have lost AT LEAST 30 pounds by now
Nah, Mike's got him doing all of that heavy lifting. He's probably put on a ton of muscle which increases the weight. Big Mike will get slimmer before he loses pounds.

You can have results.You can have excuses. But you can't have both. Stop the complaining and cheating. Did deep and fight through this.

Hell yeah that's I do . it hurts it is hard but I will never stop.

Clicked on this so fast, Love this series! It motivates me.
I hope big mike get in the groove. Seems like he's goin off track when you re not around training him. Keep fighting Big mike!
I agree, wasting Mike Rashid time, Mike wants to c improvement, it's like going backwards, instead of forward with progress.
AB it could not have been said better. I came from 310 and now 270. For him to have gained weight he is eating hella food when Mike ain’t around.
Jay Robinson wait, I thought he said he gained 3kg

Chad is sad
I wish I was being coached like this ! I cannot wait to see this mans finished product he will look really lean and chiseled ! I’m down 37 pounds on my journey to loosing 100lbs I was at 296 and now I’m at 259
I have been waiting for this sooooo long. Thank you Jesus! Have incorporated a few of his work outs in my gym routine. It’s tough! Luv u both. I would luv to see u train a plus size woman. From Montreal baby.
K G. He’s doing his best, no judgement or criticism plz. He has taken the steps to becoming healthier. He needs encouragement not criticism.
K G. I agree, like him I was working out for years and eating crap, fooling myself into thinking if I worked out I could continue eating whatever I wanted. I’m finally learning to eat better, and learning that nutrition is 80% of weight loss. I still have problems with binging but it’s tough. Lost 30lbs and struggling to get 20 more off. He will eventually get it about his nutrition. Many of us can relate to his struggles.
Love to see big mike have a training session at iron addicts with CT and everyone shouting and willing him on 👍🏼
Some fine ass girls at that gym!

Credit to that man! Gave a great account of himself! showed heart and determination will lose weight and reach his goal in no time
This is what happens when you piss the trainer off lmao
You may think you’re failing and making a fool of yourself on camera, but you’re doing the exact opposite you’re inspiring people everywhere including myself and I honestly can’t wait to see you in the best shape of your life!!! Let’s go big mike!!!
Wheres episode 5?
@@MikeRashidOfficial thanks for the reply. Can't wait for it. Love this series
@@MikeRashidOfficial thanks Mike I've been watching closely with these episodes. This is good. I live in Arizona too.
Ok good shit I was just about to yell at Mike for burning us on episode 5 lol
@@MikeRashidOfficial Gotta upload episode 6 before episode 5 to confuse the viewers, right babe? Babe?
Mad props to you big mike for putting in the work..stay focused my dude..you were chosen by Mike because he saw the potential in you...you’ve been given a shot that a lot of people would kill to be in your place! You got this big dawg just keep grindin and you’ll get it!!
Mike Rashi this video made me laugh and at the same time happy to see such video, it reminded me of the three guys I'm training, I also punch them hard. As you said nothing easy, as I also tell them. You want result work hard and you guys will see result. One of them weighted 375 now he is at 360lbs. Hopefully today he should weight 359 lbs if not his ass is mind lol, I will work his ass harder then ever lmao. Once more thanks for you're videos, they rely help us to help others. My Regards from Dominican republic. God bless. Hope to see your next video soon, my respect.
Get'em together Mike! No excuses just results! Tear them mental barriers down! Lets go big mike, dont let nothing punk you out step to every challenge! This what you signed up for im rooting for you!
He should of been below 300 already. Specially by now that mike got him going hard. Something ain’t right mike !
Thyroid or diet.
YOU CAN DO IT!....in my water boy voice GO BIG MIKE!! PAIN IS TEMPORARY QUITTING IS FOREVER!!!
Big Mike I'm pulling for you, but coming from a personal trainer, I know when clients are slipping. That scale never lies. You're cheating on your workouts or your food if that number starts moving in the wrong direction. Let's go now, exercise discipline. You got this.
I don't think it's the camera... what I like about Mike it's passion for him. You could see it in his words as well as actions.
I've been spying on you bro lol...
Big Mike killed it this round. I know how hard it is to push when you’re completely out of shape. Glad that he went all in.
mike i dont think he took heed about breathing through his nose...but this is good money!!!!
Big Mike, I'm rooting for you but I can see it in your face and the excuses your trying to give that you want to give up. I've been on all three sides skinny, muscular and obese, so I understand what's going through your head. This is when you NEED to REMEMBER why you're doing this and the GOALS you need to achieve. I am on my own 100lbs journey, I started at 341lbs and I am down to 330lbs in 10 days. You can do this man just remember DEDICATION / PERSEVERANCE.
Yo big mike putting in that work.👍🏾💯I wish I can workout with you. I've been moved by the vids. Your will to step out of that comfort zone. 💯I've lost 4lbs now I'm at 340lbs. Still working on that broke man diet.🤣🤣👍🏾💯💯keep up with the hard work🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾
Derrick 2Times goodluck with your weightloss. Look into intermittent fasting. Ive lost 20lbs so far and scale keeps going down. Not to mention i feel better. I would do it even if it didnt produce weight loss
I hope he know's how fortunate he is to have Mike Rashid take him own and share his knowledge, energy, time and provide the Ambrosia line to assist with him reaching his goal. True Jewels
Dieting isnt a slope to your ideal weight...dieting is up and down and that is the truth of it..
Well it should be a slope if you look it over a monthly period.. It's only up and down if you cheat.
I waited all week for this. Notifications on and everything! We (the people) want to see more episodes more often than once a week
C'mon Big Mike. I hope he isnt cheating. I dont understand how he's gaining weight. The water weight alone should've dropped him 20 pounds in these last 4 weeks.
Edit: Big Mike i'm rooting for you man. Keep working hard.
2 things.. 1 he had said he started losing before starting this training.. so the initial water weight was probably lost.
2 he weighed himself in sweat drenched clothes after probably drinking half a gallon of water during workout.. gonna have a false reading.
Now don't get me wrong.. a can of tuna alone ain't gonna cause a real weight gain.. so if he legit gained 3.2 pounds. Then he's either eating way too much salt and retaining water.. or calorically is iff.. either starving himself or going into surplus.
If next episode he's down 10 pounds. Well know it was just a bad weigh in at gym.
@@mikozuna you don't gain weight starving yourself.. Especially not when you weigh 300+lbs. He needs to get his eating in control before slogging himself in the gym doing cardio that's just making him hungry.
Michael J. Schaefer Two things. One, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Two, Big Mike should be under 290lbs right now regardless. He’s doing something wrong. It’s been 4 week for christ sake. I’ve seen multiple people his weight drop 20-30lbs in 3 weeks eating in a deficit while working out. Big Mike is somehow gaining weight. His clothes don’t matter, stop making excuses for him.
Big Mike i'm proud of the fact that your not giving up.I know it's hard but don't give up my brother.I myself are doing the same workout and I know for a fact that it's hard as Hell, keep on pushing Big Mike!
Big Mike, I love you brother. But I think you substituted for more than just Tuna. Haha! Minor setback.
No kiddin'. He put a shit load of mayo in that tuna or something.
I agree man. Hes destroying his knees. Joint strength isnt proportionate to muscular strength. Less jumping and running. The Bike machine would be better for cardio.
I’m with you on this journey big mike. Going for the 100 pounds lost. I started at 306 and already down to 296. You got this brotha, stay on track with your diet. Let’s get it boss man!
Let’s go big mike !!!!
That's why we need to manage ourselves before we get too far gone. Eat well stay discipline food is the biggest addiction we all have. Keep pushing Big Mike!!!
Big Mike trying to BS. This breakthrough stage 1. Gotta push through. Mike had that look like who the hell you think you are to change the meal plan I put you on lol.
D.Remedy big mike bullshitting
I love the realness of this. I just find myself saying come one Mike or just one more Mike. Keep going.
Listen to rashid man he knows what he talking about
kungfu 32 no he doesn't 😂
Mike’s a great trainer! This series inspired me to lose weight and get better! Thanks Mikes!
What ive learned from fight training is that a trainer knows when a client is slacking based on how they workout. Pushups shouldn't be a challenge right now Mike..Go hard all the time or Go Home.. Stop slacking You Got This
Get that 100 big mike. Stay strong and consistent. I finally got off the couch to start working out and I could barely do 5 push ups. It was a very humbling experience but I'm going to keep at it and stay strong and consistent like big mike.
Big Mike made that 100$, good one big dog!
Went to Burger King with it
@@rillyjo5810 lol you hell bro
@@tenaceetwon2341 ion get why he struggling to do the pushups now, he wasn't before and he gaining weight. He ain't serious
@@rillyjo5810 he gonna get back at it , shits making for a good show though.
Man...I Love this series...Big Mike you are putting in the work...Respect...Keep Pushin'...And also great motivation and training Rashid...
You have to be accountable
Big Mike is a beast! Way to push through bro! I'm inspired to increase my intensity. Mike Rashid I appreciate this kind of content and look forward to seeing Mike's transformation! I like that you show the ups and downs. As with life, we will have set backs, but we have to work hard and push through even if we feel like giving up.
13:25 I swear to gawd if you dont finish that last rep🤬😡
fax!!! I was about to swing on a nigga
It got real right there 😂
Look Mike -- I look forward to these videos every week. I was expecting to see you in the 200's by now. You inspire me to not quit. I get motivation just to see you push. Don't let us down man. I know you slipped this week with the weight gain. It happens! But I still belueve in you. Do what Mike Rashid tells you when he's not around push, push, push! You're motivating and inspiring a lot of people viewing this content whether you realize it or not. Mike hasn't given up on you and we won't I'm expecting a weight loss in the next video. Stay on that diet, dont slip. I'm hitting it extra just for you tomorrow in the gym...👍
Mike where's Episode 5?????
It's coming they had some issues uploading i think
Keep pushing hard Big Mike. You are motivating me and others. Push hard everyday.
What happened to ep.5
That 100 dollars incentive is a perfect example of it's all in your head.
N 4 weeks he hasnt lost any weight im not haiting im asking???
Greek Physique he lost about 20lbs I he started at 324
Greek Physique Mike Rashid knows he's cheating. He just didnt say it. He's going to call Big Mike out sooner or later if that weight dont start falling off.
DeAndre aww yea, I was 315.... the first month of me dieting and working out I dropped weight quick
This actually give me hope I started same day he did and I didn't lose weight ether I only want to lose 44 lbs
Mike Rashid you always dropping jewels thank you so much, keep pushing Big Mike, picture your goal in your head black out and grind til the end
I can only breath through one of my nostrils properly through the day and my other nostril is always slightly stuffed. Then it swaps through the day.
Buddy Rare same here
@ash leigh Ok ill give that a shot. Its wierd to because I went to a nose, throat, and ear doctor and they said everything looks normal. But yeah yiur right it maybe a dairy problem because I eat cheese like nobody's business lol
@pito loco Yeah same here I had mines for years
@ash leigh No I havnt seen those yet but im going to watch it right now on my down time. I have heard some pretty bad stories on milk production though. Thank you very much for the information as well, it should be very interesting to watch.
Buddy Rare sounds like a deviated septum. I dated a guy that didn’t know he had it, He couldn’t breath through his nose when we kissed, thought it was weird. After I told him, he had it checked our. It can be corrected with minor surgery. He breaths fine now, we still talk, but no kissing. He’s married.
DONT SLOW DOWN BIG MIKE!! You got fans watching you
Mike have you tried putting him on a Keto diet. I have lost 40 pounds since July. He probably has insulin resistance.
Edgar Hall. I will have to check out Keto.
ash leigh. I follow fledge fitness, tried the fasting with no luck. I’m with weight watchers, lost 30lbs. So far. Need to take off another 20lbs. Thanks for the suggestion.
ash leigh Lol. You follow all the right people. Fledge Fitness, Thomas DeLauer, (probably Dr. berg as well ??). They're all so magnificent and really informative.
Sharon, Congrats on the weight loss!! Have you tried to figure out why IF didn't work for you? Because if you do and fix what went wrong, you might be able to use IF to keep the weight off. Next to benefitting from all the great and superb health benefits IF provides.
He won't be able to workout like this if he goes Keto. At least not in the beginning. He'll be dragging himself to the gym.
@@rdot980 keto doesn't mean starve yourself. He can start with just going keto but not a calorie deficit.. Get plenty of protein to help with the gym. He needs to lose weight first, built muscle second.
This man absolutely killed it! Great video
20:28 in the background... DAMN!!!
BRUH!
TheKMAz Clann straight up attention whoreing Lol
Rooting for you big mike..hang in there..it takes work, self discipline..u be proud with end results..keep pressing through and keep your head in the positive, if he says u can do it, u can do it..watching with admiration
Mike if you dont want it... HE CAN COME TRAIN ME..💪💪💯💯 IM READY. Dont waste this opportunity. Others want it!!!
Much respect BIG Mike that you are sharing your journey with the world! Pulling for you all the way from Abbeville South Carolina!
what's the chance the weight gain is due to muscle gain
Jsh ZERO! Big Mike is 300lbs+. He's cheating on his diet or workouts. The water weight alone should have him down atleast 20 pounds in 4 weeks.
Gaining that much muscle in 4 weeks is humanly impossible, guess he's eating too much...
@@DreTJ good point.
@@fvrs3411 good point
Jsh. That’s what I told my trainer. But a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. A pound is a pound.
Keep it up big Mike! You keep me in inspiration for myself! I'm on 125lb journey down 60 so far. Been working hard for it...
I don’t think big mike is as dedicated as he portrays. There is no point in cheating, ur wasting both your time when you do. Especially Mike Rashid’s time that he’s taking because he cares enough to see it through with you. Get your mind right dude and train until it’s easy to train
You don't know this man's health history or his personal life you act like he's eating ice cream and cookies worry about yourself not his,weight-loss or Mikes time
Enrico Collins You’re right. He’s not. It’s probably just too hard for him to stay completely honest!😂😂😂
Bro a man who's been fat for 35-40 years isn't gonna just shred weight like night and day over a one month span
He's doing good to me... He should have cheat days but don't go to extreme with it.
@@Joelcebada why not. He can lose 2lbs a week like any one can if they have the correct calorie deficit. People lie about what they eat.. The only way you can control that is to lock him in a cage.
When Big Mike hit that 21 after doubting himself... I got so hype!!! Looking crazy at my computer.
21 min mark thank me
That's love right there bro!! lol
errrm
thanks lol
Don't get these bihs who come into gym wearing nothing
I believe in you Big Mike! You got this! I know you want it! You been a big inspiration for me and I’m here pushing myself because of you. So let’s go!
