It's still insane to me that y'all were so instrumental in Rich's success. That must feel quite good as a company! I hope I can have as positive of an impact as you guys have.
Thank you so much. I think Rich would have been just fine without us, but we love that we were able to help, even if it's just a little! - Dr. Mike
@@RenaissancePeriodizationcan you do a video like this for hamstrings? I have a hard time finding a hamstring isolation besides what’s on the app (leg curl) because I don’t have a gym membership.
@@jnewnam88 if you have at least a barbell or dumbbells do Romanian deadlifts (RDLs) and watch some of RPs videos on those exercises.
@@jnewnam88 Good Mornings are awesome. Even at the end of my mesos 2 sets of that very close to failure cook me up.
@@floriancazacu4504 SLDL + DEEEP good mornings will leave you unable to walk right lmao
Mike: "How'd that feel?"
Rich: "Yup"
Rich immediately proving to be the most trainable athlete. Dude is insanely impressive
Cardio not becoming a limiting factor on 20 rep squats was inspiring. I train bodybuilding but if I’m ever doing high rep squats or pause squats, my heart rate is through the roof 15 reps in. Shows we can all learn something from the different disciplines and training styles
I regularly go straight barbell for a 100 reps, no putting the barbell down during rest periods. I can usually smash it out in around 9-10 mins. Get a killer leg/back workout and cardio all in one, on good days I'll add 10-15 lbs 😁
15reps???? 5 take it or leave it.
@@haramlasagne66853 sets of 5 , ad 5 pounds a week and drink a galon of milk a day
They are elite crossfitters. It would be surprising and even would question the whole philosophy of crossfit if cardio was limiting them on 20 reps squats with 185 lbs
@@bertrandronge9019 Exactly this guy's words.
I am a non elite powerlifter and I could easily do 185x20 multiple times in a workout. It would take a toll on my cardio but nothing crazy. 225-255 lbs would really push my cardio to the limit or beyond. But again, I don't really train cardio except for a 5k run maybe every month.
So awesome to see someone as seasoned as Rich completely willing to learn. That's humility and that's why he's the GOAT.
Read richs book, he STUMBLED upon crossfit and dominated within like 2 years
Fraser is the GOAT@@coltonkosto98
I know it's just become a phrase that gets used a lot nowadays but calling someone the "G.O.A.T." in a sport that's less than 20 years old will never not sound ridiculous to me.
Funny he only dominated in the early years. Would be a different story today.
“The Purpose is the Pain.” If that’s not a T-shirt already, you guys totally need to make it.
Big facts
id buy that merch !
It’s backwards though, unless it’s actually supposed to mean “the purpose is the thing that hurts”. This seems nonsensical and unlikely. “The pain is the purpose”, i.e. “The pain is the goal and point of what we are doing here” makes infinitely more sense
Legit
@@LAK_770 bro shut up
I would love to see Dr. Mike and Brian Shaw working out together. The personality, the humor, the knowledge, the work ethic, ... It'd be too much for 1 video but still I'd like to see it happen!
throw eddie in there and we have a new comedy series in fitnessyoutube coming! :D I'd pay good money to see that
@@olobur_h oh damn you're absolutely right!
Dr mike and Brian Shaw... pleeeeeeese!
YESSSSSS omfg
@@olobur_h omfg YESSSS Mr whole
a lot of ppl mock CrossFitters. but these guys and gals have insane work capacity.
Yeah the concept of crossfit is amazing and at the elite level most things are really good to be fit. Things like butterfly pullups just give it a bad reputation which is sometimes deserved. Also the glorification of rabdo is just stupid no matter the context. When I retire from powerlifting I will likely do a crossfit style of training just without the stupid parts to stay fit and healthy. But until that day comes: Fuck cardio
@@guntera3845good luck man. you can see iron wolfs content. his conditioning is just out of this world
Pretty close to everyone that mocks CrossFit is DYEL compared to crossfitters. - Dr. Mike
@@guntera3845 My stance as well. I'm bodybuilding to get my base (goal is closer to a Froning level physique rather than Dr. Mike in terms of mass) and then I'll switch to a more cross-fit/maintenance lifting/cardio long term focus.
Have you been to the average crossfit box? You would never have guessed they touched a weight before
One thing that has always impressed me about Rich, is how he just goes full Terminator mode in situations like this. No emotion, ignores all pain. Just gets its done. Great video, easy like and Subscribe
Kudos to them for not relying on speed and using controlled technique when Mike cued them!
Seemed like less than 1 second on the eccentric for every lunge they did and then they pounded squats.
I mean I’m not talking shit, because they’re in better shape than me, but he was saying slow and they were dive bombing those body weight squats
Amazing that Froning is still in this sort of condition.
His ability to take instruction is excellent.
Now I wanna see Rich put Dr Mike and Jared through a CrossFit workout!
Rich was the first CrossFit athlete that got me into watching the sport. It's great to see his lack of ego when working out always shines through, no matter the setting or tasks involved. Always appreciate your channel for the thorough explanations and alternative to simply blasting through a session. Much love.
Sport hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHahahahahahahahahahahHahahA
@@Skwid-Lives It must be exhausting to endlessly live with negative energy, and to feel the need to incessantly spread it to others. All the best to you in your future endeavors.
@@Skwid-Lives If PingPong counts as a sport then CrossFit is a sport no matter my own personal biased opinions about how goofy it looks at times
@@cartier13 Yawn, snarky opinions on the internet are so tired and dated.
@@cartier13 I guess I dont because I dont personally consider IE: competitive video games (e-sports) pingpong, bowling, billiards or even Golf really *sports* but my whole point is my own personal bias doesnt matter for greater societies definitions. The general consensus is if theres any physical competition no matter how small then that thing can be considered a sport.
I have a lot of respect for Rich and Mike. Great seeing you guys doing a video together.
Been waiting for this one for a while. Very 😎 to see this
It's nice to see Rich taking you up on the quad destruction. Been following him for a long time and he's a warrior.
Mike I saw you ignore the dog who wanted pets 😡😡😡
Unforgivable
pets or pats?
@@nokafisher2771 yes.
@@steveloge8119 🤣😂
Yeah but that dog's depth was shit during the lunges. Only deeeeeep lunges get pets and pats.
It’s nice to see different disciplines of the iron come together and respect each other
Good stuff
Bros this is a such a cool video. Mad respect for these two literally churning that workout out like nothing. You can tell Mike has mad respect for them too. Absolute units!
I like the respect shown between the 2 disciplines/ sports and the insights gleaned from such a collaboration.
I’ve been binging these videos as a guy who just got back into lifting (the wife and I invested in a nice home gym) I was terrified of squats because I remember how bad they hurt. But watching and learning from all these content creators has me getting more and more confident in my back squats! Feels amazing!
Mike is funny AF as always. "Top 10%?" "I would say Top 10."
It’s insane to see elite level athletes dropping to such low weight to accommodate the change in tempo.
Yep. Squatting in a way that maximizes quad stimulus can be pretty humbling! - Dr. Mike
At that tempo and volume, those are huge weights.
I laugh at all the ego lifters who don't train like this with never ending injuries haha
Where is the video of “Dr Mike” doing Fran?
While I’ve stopped doing CrossFit (after owning/operating a CF gym for 8 years), I always loved how Rich leads by example…the truest form of leadership.
Mad props to you, Rich, for being a true leader. Talk is cheap.
I'm a former dancer, turn fitness enthusiast and taking correction in the fly is an everyday thing for us. While dancing, I also loved taking beginners classes to get back to the basics.
Now that I've retired from dance, Crossfit took its place. Love it!
Those fellas sort of shrugged off your workout and were planning to do more when you left. Much respect to those two
No they weren’t 🤣
Trust me, they were. They do a shit ton of volume at Mayhem, may have not been a leg workout but definitely something else.
No trust me, I’m a random on the internet
@@amateurhourresearchofself4714yeah rich said hes going to be sore until friday.
@@andrewwallace8534 yes they were, like ALOT more
That is the most calm I have ever seen from those Doc is torturing!!! I think you may have found friend candidates!
As a personal trainer and up and coming sports performance coach, I really learn a lot from your channel. I like that you show your whole workouts so we can just follow along and do them on our own. A lot of channels only show glimpses and try to get you to purchase a program to try to mimic the workout. I also really appreciate that your workouts are not over complicated/too long. I’ve been getting really bored in the gym lately and don’t feel like doing 8 different exercises. Your workouts are efficient as they are effective. Thank you!
This was such an amazing collab! Really inspires you to push yourself to your limits. Rich obviously is a machine but Tyler was super impressive as well. Hung in there with every movement and zero complaints. Dr. Mike, you sir, are the gym Devil, but in a good way. Great video and great workout.
Rich is the man! Total respect.
Preach - it takes a lot of courage to be an expert in your field and yet be humble enough to play the student role on camera. Good lesson for all of us.
@@mdgrech absolutely. That is why Total Respect for this guy.
Why do people include everyone in their statements? Good lesson for you! Not all of us. You don't know everyone else on UA-cam
I like that it's the basics, nothing fancy, just getting it done. The best part is that I'm getting reminded that my squats could use some work, and that I need to get back to the basics as well.
I have never wanted to train with Dr. Mike and RP more than RIGHT NOW!
Always dope to see high level athletes like Rich taking coaching tips still
Dang that was very humbling for Rich , pretty amazing to watch them go through that workout. Much respect for the both of them
LOVE seeing Rich!!! Great collab Doc!
I wish this was done with the hack squat or pendulum squats to really throw them off their game, but i'm also glad elite crossfit athletes are getting the respect they deserve.
Explain how that would throw them?
Yeah they honestly seemed unfazed by this routine!! Not trying to be negative or anything but squats and lunges are things I’m pretty sure they are already used to doing
@@PickleThePig Like the other comment said adaptation is a very real thing, Rich has been doing lunges and squats for many years very consistently. Going to a machine type of squat whilst on paper should be easier really isn't if you follow Mikes Q's like Rich was. Like Mike said at the end of the video they tended to revert to an athletic type of lift once they started to struggle which isn't as possible on a pendo/hack squat.
This workout looked brutal. These guys are beasts!
Wow - getting Fronin on is gonna be your best video ever. The form is just artistic. Incredible episode.
Nice to see crossfitters on the channel. Would love to see them do some RP style workouts in Dr. Mike's gym.
Yea. Was waiting to see this one.
Rich is an absolute machine and a freak of nature. Also and insanely humble and fun dude to be around.
This was awesome. I love the critique videos but it’s even better to see a good form! These guys are super human
Watching them lunge and have someone tell them slower.... has to be more painful for Rich than the acid in his quads. From decades of GOGOGOGOGOGOGO to slooooooow down.
"The purpose is the pain." Great quote.
Great video!! Awesome insight on another variation for a leg workout 👍🏻
This was fascinating! You legends are absolute machines. Power houses. Strong AF 🤜🤛 #inspirational
Man, I gotta say, Crossfit people (and especially women), are something else. I started with rock climbing, did martial arts and then went into powerlifting with a dip into strongman stuff. And I have met men, much shorter and skinnier than me, that did crossfit, and they could compete in categories that I specialized in. Especially martial arts training. I was exceptionally positively surprised how them guys held their own against me.
CrossFit gets a bad rap, EVERY single dude I’ve met who openly talks about his CrossFit background is a damn unit . Beautiful form on squats and Olympic pulls .
@@ci6516CrossFit athletes are truly exceptional, but their training doesn’t look like what you’d find at an average CrossFit box
I love Rich's response to crappy things. "Yep"
Slow and steady gets the job done. Love the lifting with intention.
That was great interaction. Mutual respect from different domains. Great sense of humor
YESSSSSS THE CROSSOVER I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!
Great exercise info @5:02, plates on the floor to take some load from hamstrings to the quads is exactly what I needed to hear to improve legday!
Can’t believe you were in Cookeville! I work literally across the street from CrossFit Mayhem. Rich Froning sponsors our workplace fitness center. Super cool!
Would love another one like this, this was so cool to watch 🙌🏿
CIA: uses sleep deprivation and loud noises to interrogate
Coach mike: SQUATS and LUNGES!!!!
Dr. Mike needs to pet the damn dog!
He’s locked in
Dude, my dog fucking walks under me when I'm lifting. He's got no clue. Can't have him there unfortunately.
“How’d that feel?”
“Yep.”
Felt that
Now I understand the reason of inclined squats! Thanks guys
Curious to know how long their rest times were, but yeah 100 reps of squats and THEN finishers 😅 Insane volume.
They back-to-backed the squats, and then we took about 30 seconds between each lunge/squat set. Unreal. - Dr. Mike
@@RenaissancePeriodization That would hurt so fucking bad, just wow.
Now we want an Upper body day with Rich
Dr.Mike is on point on his 2 days later pain comment. The 2nd day, DOMS GALORE
Great video! It's amazing that Rich has been retired from individual competition for years now. He looks like he could still compete!
The one thing for me that really helped me on my squat was the plates under my heels. Someone showed me that one day and I realized that I could do a lot more without my back aching as much or even at all and after a while I didn’t need them anymore. It’s a great tip
Isnt there shoes thats just for this purpose?
@@100Predatoryes
yes.. lifting shoes... but its better to go barefoot.. something i learned from my coach and now squat university youtube channel said something similar in recent years..
but dont take my words seriously.. check for urself if u r interested... whatver squats i did was for my boxing training (light weight, high rep)... i just do leg presses and lunges at gym now @@100Predator
More CrossFit athletes! This was great!
Wow doc i've enjoyed thiw video so much! Keep em coming! 💪
Great video and I really enjoy techniques I can apply to my training.
The pupper though is really the focus here.
Rich does this for how many years now? The guy realy is a living legend.
“How do ya feel”
“Yup”
ive been waiting for this collab!!
All time. Love Mikes directions.
Elite crossfitter's engines are fucking crazy.
Dr. Mike i swear that Crossfitters are the most open minded community in all Iron sport fields. They willing to learn everything without complaining because they're aware that their sport is misunderstood by most people.
Lol it’s crossfiters that misunderstand how to properly work out
@@ChrisSmooth24, funny how that comment didn't get any likes yet...
@Palle Kjær Laursen funny how that doesn't make a difference? Popularity of a statement has nothing to do with its validity. Did you drop out of school in grade 3?
Crossfitters are easily the most meat head community of the entire athletics world
@@adilchaudhry3272, you just keep telling yourself that.
@@pallekjrlaursen8388 I don't need to. You quickly proved it in our exchange here. Although it's anecdotal, this is the vast majority of my experience with cross fitters.
Awesome! Thank you!!
Bro, they killed that work out. I was suffering just watching them do that. Definitely need to get to that level of fitness.
The GOAT's collide: I love it!
Those men are machines
Not too dissimilar from the squats I was doing, but I was only doing 4x15 reps. Slow down, pause, explosive, up. The weight under the heel seems like a good add for me. Just needed squat rack so I didn’t have to lift the weight over my head for every set. I would combine this with the same barbell and do 30 lunges between the squat sets.
Say what you want about CrossFit but rich is a gent. Mike wanting to share his expertise with CrossFit guys is so cool too - great attitudes all round
I love seeing Crossfitters getting their flowers in these comments. A lot of ppl don’t really appreciate the demands of their sport until it’s shown in contrast with athletes and ppl from other athletic communities. These guys are definitely machines and this is a perfect example of it
3:15 He was talking to the dog
Two great guys!!! Fun to watch!
I'm from cookeville, trained at crossfit mayhem a bit, even with Rich a few times. Great gym and great dude, couldn't be more humble.
Crazy to see that it didn't even look like cardio became an issue at the end, it was literally complete muscle fatigue lol
It would be useful if your cameraman could frame the legs of the people squatting so we can watch technique and the way knees track etc. whenever you have squatting exercises, the legs are never in the shot. But otherwise a very interesting video.
So Rich was on to something with his “Bring Sally up” challenge. Also, this provides a lot of time under load. Good stuff.
This was awesome. I love/respect weight lifters & body builders, but I'm more on a calisthenics program so this was enlightening.
"I should do this more" said Fronning after workout.
Wow cool! I'm interested in watching your channel
Renaissance Periodization/Perhaps for me one of your best video/very well done thank you
Love this. More please
Can we get more CrossFit + RP strength videos like this???!!! Best video maybe ever! May most favorite forms of fitness and GOATS within them rolled into one video is FIRE!!!! I have to watch this again.
Question: do you really only train one target muscle per session with 2 workouts like that? My RP template has me doing like 8 movements!!! I don’t go hard enough but that’s due to time constraints mostly. How long did it take them to complete all of those reps!!!!
The other amazing thing is how rich is able to tolerate all this work well into his 30s after so many years training and competing at such a high level
Gotta love that eccentric load, concentric explode training! Their anaerobic capability is top tier.
Always thought Rich would be a beast body builder. There is zero quit in him.
Let’s see mike Jared and Charley do a cross fit workout next
Nah they won't,
Props for them going through this "bodybuilding" workout, I've never seen an actual bodybuilder crank out full depth high bar squats 5x20
That was a fantastic video, bravo to the 3 of you
I loved this ! Awesome !
What the hell kind of cardiovascular capacity is that? Jesus Christ
was jst thinking that
If gym bros took their cardio as serious as the weight training, they too could squat for 20 reps without blacking out. He is certainly in good shape, but his VO2 max would likely not win him any medals in pure cardio sports.
For real....they were less gassed than that other guy Mike put through an arm workout.
In person, it was absolutely WILD. - Dr. Mike
@@obi-wankenobi9871 pure steady state cardio bros would have been trashed
Different types of conditioning
Smaller than I remember him, but still a damn machine.
The dude used to be yoked when he was at the top, didn’t he? Top quality athlete whatever.
Good WOD, I think it’s important to focus on specific muscle groups too.. blessings
Loved the ‘lessons learned’ bit 👍
