18:52 Love that you admit to lacking knowledge in a specific area. Many established companies your size would just make something up to seem more knowledgeable.
The fact that these videos are free is just insane. I spent so much time in the early part of the last decade aimlessly chasing mobility without improving my flexibility (or my strength for that matter). Yet in 24 minutes this video clearly delineates what they are, what is feasible, and what is not. If only RP and these types of guides were given to me and made available back in high school. But alas....the internet was only full of misinformation at that point in time.
No kidding. With some of the webinars with Drs. James and Mike there will be people asking very technical questions about MRV, etc., that are *16*. Phenomenal the head start kids can have now.
Great advice here! Especially the part of doing an exercise you already have good mobility in and you can load a lot for the first exercise (Hack-Squat machine or back squats) and then doing the mobility focused exercise second (front squats or RDL/SLDL). Using this principle I felt comfortable with lower weight on exercises that I lacked mobility for that I otherwise wouldn’t have done at all or way too heavy due to the embarrassing weight it took me to start with front squats or good mornings.
What about inter set stretching? I saw a video where Jeff Nippard talked about a study that showed it can increase flexibility and hypertrophy results (compared to the non stretching group) with no apparent down side. I saw another article on it where they talked about other studies that showed inter set stretching also had no negative effect on strength during the workout and no loss in strength gains over time.
I CANT BELIEVE THIS!!!! I was just thinking about my mobility problems and how I should dive into RP and see if Dr. Mike had any information I could learn. Such a freaky coincidence!! I’m going to play the lottery now brb to watch the rest of the video and fix all my problems hopefully P.S. Thanks for everything!!!
Wow great video. This info is what I needed, it’s great to know that part of my problem with gaining muscle could just be improper technique and mobility issues / lack of focus
I’ve been doing yoga for both hip mobility and for the meditative cardio for a could years, and I love it. I’ve seen some carryover into my leg training, but I don’t assign causation to it.
Thank you for this video, I have had tightness in my hip area when doing squats, I am excited to use your "settle at the bottom" to increase my range of motion. Thanks again!
Your content is gold man, I first saw you on the first discussion you had with coach greg a long time ago and got the wrong impression, I've seen the recent vids you guys did together and enjoyed every bit
Very interesting point in the SLDLs. I’ve done the slow pauses squats and now I can get below parallel every workout. On my conventional deadlifts it’s a real struggle to get into full extension. Will work on the SLDLs to hopefully get a better starting position.
I can get deep in the squat, the problem is my mobility is limited due to an old disc buldge, disc height loss and an extra disc. It sucks if I go past parallel but tbh research shows quads can recruit the same amount of muscle parallel vs below. Glutes and hips get hit with glute bridges. Sldl can be annoying as well so I found ghr or nordic curls work better.
prehab is a thing. I'm going to have surgery in may. Dr said to get as strong as possible before the surgery such that when I have to be bedridden for like 2 weeks, i don't end up skinny legged. He called that prehab.
I disagree with the mobility training statement. Granted I agree with you that in regards that it has no real benefit in terms of increasing strength in weight lifting. However, I do believe it helps your body become less tense through out the day and more flexible. It’s really a preference on how you like to feel and if you don’t mind being tense as long as it doesn’t affect your lifting. I use to be a hardcore runner so personally I know it has plenty of benefits with flexibility and range of motion, just not so much when it comes to lifting weights. Just cause you work on your flexibility or mobility doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, quite the opposite. Especially if you lift, plus it can deter potential injuries. P.S your videos are awesome. This has become one of the most knowledgeable channels I know.
The youtube ad algorithm ran a foam roller advertisement immediately before Dr. Mike says foam rollers are a mobility fad/myth. Hah! They got their money's worth out of that ad placement.
Most pro's don't use full range of motion. Full range of motion was something pushed primarily by powerlifters because they need to be strong within the full range of motion. And then it became like a dogma thing where other guys would call you a pussy if you didn't do full range of motion so it became a thing. But in pro bodybuilding lots of champions use partials because it keeps more tension on the muscle.
@@thecoachestrayner You saying that its just their genetics without doing any scientific research to back that claim up is you using correlation to find causation. 2nd You think you know more than pros? Correlation may not always equal causation, but they all have better physiques than you and a lot of them do partials. You are also making a claim that they all made gains on their genetics alone and you have zero evidence for this. So stop acting scientific when you are clearly biased.
@@chrono8233 I’d also absolutely love you to pull me up a research paper (since you mentioned research) where partial ROM beats Full (muscle fibre size etc). I think I’d be waiting a while..........
Hey Dr Mike. Where do you draw the line between 1- a lack of ability to keep the exercise form ( say heels down on squats for example ) so you just pick another exercise and 2- ok no this lack of ability needs to be addressed ?
Try doing box squats, they teach the body to squat properly, you just sit back onto the box. Start with a high object (like a bench) and work your way down in 1/2 inch segments every 2-4 weeks. This will allow you to get strong and build up your stability, which will allow your body to be more mobile. Stability (a strong base) always comes before mobility.
Okay, question about the motorized dildo (AKA massage gun) - my guess is that it can help with recovery by stimulating blood flow to the target area. Am I off base? Or is there something to that?
No if anything it would help, they help you relax after a hard training session, which would lower cortisol and improve post-workout meal digestion. Also, stretching would relax the fascia which would allow more room for muscle growth. This may be bro science but I think it's true, seems like common sense to me.
Flexibility is extremely important in basketball, especially for the positions that need to very explosive. The more flexible you are the less likely it is that you tear something when changing pace, coming down from an unstable jump etc.
3:09 "if you can press a log overhead and cant do splits, you can potentially win worlds strongest man" "If you can't press a log overhead but you can do crazy splits you might win... worlds in gymnastics?"
I dropped out of school so I could focus on Dr Mike's lectures.
Imagine
Same here.
I quit my job so I can binge watch RP content
grind, they dont know you, son.
That seems like a good call. No sarcasm here. None at all.

Also many established companies his size are complete bullshit, he has good information and a good reputation.
Can't believe this is all free. Ive been taking more notes from you than i have ever done in school . Thank you for all you do my good sir !
Was looking forward to your thoughts on this topic.
Bro your account is 15 years old. Cool af
@@neznam1337 respect to the ogs. I dig it.
One of Mike's best lectures so far imo. Great humor.

"Your just fuckin weak" "you should cry about it" "go deep, shut up" 😆 the coach we all need
Dr Mike straight up killing it with the comedic explanations
So so helpful! Mobility can be a confusing topic even for semi knowledgable people. Thank you!

Dr mike to you
Definitely will be implementing some of these techniques into my mobility routine. Awesome work

20:15 pure dr. Mike here i love it 😅

Thanks 4 free content doc!! 💪🙏
Goal: To be the biggest most intimidating guy in my yoga class 😠
Are you trying to be the the drummer from Molly Hatchet
Dr. Mike is the professor of professors 👍 great knowledge 👏
Love and Respect 🙌 from India 🇮🇳
I have no problems with mobility but i can't help but watch the vid, the content's just too good
Mike, you read my mind sometimes
Jefferson curls, and mckenzie method is my friend
Excellent video! Really informative and helpful. Thanks! 💪👍🙏
The improving mobility using the blocks would be a good idea for a video.
thank you so much
Thanks Doc..💪💯🔝👍
Mike Isratael finds best topics.
Awesome insight as always Dr. Mike 🔥
I have been doing good mornings to pins these past few months and never thought to drop them a bit lower.
Thank you for this video, I have had tightness in my hip area when doing squats, I am excited to use your "settle at the bottom" to increase my range of motion. Thanks again!
Full ROM coming into reality check me! Noted!
Please make a video explaining, and showing the studies as to why streching after trainning interfere with hypertrophy 😃
I love getting VShred ads on your videos hehe.
I needed some to do effective front squats.
Squat University is a good one too...
Amazing video great dr mike
Mind blow. Fucking miracles. Love this guy.

Mike explained 2 years of my squat journey at 8:48. So much wasted mobility work and within 5 minutes of a real coach, boom squat just fine.
Dr Mike with some more knowledge!!👏👌👍💪😎
👌 interference with ROM would be where I stop
Just did 4x10 FULL ROM squats at like 30% and my quads are fucked 😂
Definitely appreciate this breakdown
Whew still training?
Have you recovered yet mate? 😂😂

Wow that Nicolas Vullioud guy he mentioned is freaky huge
Day 5 of asking Dr. Mike to do a Dragon ball Z video!
🔥🔥🔥
19:35 lmfao truth
2:08 is the noise my brain makes when I try to do a one arm pushup lol
"People making up bullshit to sell you stuff you don't need" UA-cam drops a ad in at this point....... 😂😂😂😂
Everyone on earth needs mobility work regardless of goals (if we care about being healthy)
“Doctor” Mike…”Losing fat is ALWAYS a good idea”
When do we get a Dr. Mike Israetel transformation video?
Yes, the answer is yes.
I was doing mobility and I suddenly saw the video

is not intense yoga post weightlifting good for muscle growth?
So if you dissolve your ego ahead of lifting and do it correctly, then mobility should take care of itself.
If I do dumbbell fly's and I stretch wide my shoulders connective tissues hurt me.
Can someone point me to a strength forJiu Jitsu Doctor Mike episode? Or can someone tell Dr. Mike to make one?

But bad mobility is an excuse to have shitty ROM. *insert think about it gif*

This guy is smart. Like if you agree
Pro bodybuilders Yes they need mobility work. Natural probably not.
No natural is going to become muscle bound to the point where it effects mobility.
me thinking about this question the day you posted this , hmmmmm
Dr Mike I do squats with 10lb dumbells :/
I can’t even squat anywhere near parallel and I have no idea why :(
Try doing box squats, they teach the body to squat properly, you just sit back onto the box. Start with a high object (like a bench) and work your way down in 1/2 inch segments every 2-4 weeks. This will allow you to get strong and build up your stability, which will allow your body to be more mobile. Stability (a strong base) always comes before mobility.
@@StrengthHacksCoaching Thanks!
Do you have long femurs in comparison to your torso?
@@Sealed_Chamber I don’t think so 🤔
@@MrMula81 So you don't bend over a lot when you squat?
Ronnie Coleman natty or not
Yes I do, I can't tie my shoes anymore
If your goal is to simply gain muscle. Guess what? Life has many more plans for your body.
Glad I never dildo-guned myself before my Bench!
how many sets should I do with each drill??
Okay, question about the motorized dildo (AKA massage gun) - my guess is that it can help with recovery by stimulating blood flow to the target area. Am I off base? Or is there something to that?
Would this be similar for strength training?
What are SDLDs?
Guys, does stretching and foam rolling after a hypertrophy workout hinder muscle growth?
No if anything it would help, they help you relax after a hard training session, which would lower cortisol and improve post-workout meal digestion. Also, stretching would relax the fascia which would allow more room for muscle growth. This may be bro science but I think it's true, seems like common sense to me.
