I really like these insights in other peoples consideration for programming. Not for copying, but for getting hints and ideas what I could try to implement
I got to the exact same split as Dr. Mike, and yes you get from 4 to 6 wo a week. It feek amazing to be able to not go to the gym if you are sore or tired or busy and not feel like you are failing. Psychologically helps a lot to stick to working out
Myorep match for small muscle groups is genius. You get the same volume load as straight sets with long rests but in less time, and equal if not more gains. No sytemic fatigue to worry about either, as long as its done with lateral raises and such
LOVE the floating/asynchronous split. Shout-out to Tom Venuto. His members website has several of floating programs for intermediate/advanced trainees. Tom responds to DMs super quick and in depth too! One point of note, floating splits don’t have to be low frequency, nothing stopping you from training back on 4/6 workouts in the microcycle, for example.
I run a variation on a floating split that situates within a fixed week. I do this because of my work and family obligations coming before my training. Here’s how it looks: Saturday and Sunday are fixed and are my harder days of the week. Push biceps shoulders on Saturday pull, legs on Sunday. The floating component of the schedule comes during the week. Monday and Friday are typically off. Tuesday push triceps shoulders. Wednesday: pull biceps RDLs. Thursday quads, shoulders, chest, triceps. Thursday is my “float” day. It’s very flexible and generally has less volume and easier movements. I leave it out if my week was tough and I can move Tuesday and Wednesdays workouts around during the week. Volumes are on the lower end: 7-12 sets per body part per week for upper body. 3-4 for hams and quads (RDLs, SQ, lunges: that’s it).
I’ve seen other interviews with Dr. Mike. I don’t know if it’s just me, but he seemed more relaxed and maybe more enthusiastic to speak on this topic. Great interview
Floating splits work great for me with a physical job that varies in intensity and my tendency to do random long bouts of cardio. It doesn't make any sense to skip leg day just because you missed you Friday workout. Better to just pick up where you left off in the split.
53:04 Well... I managed to crack/bruise a rib whilst digging in too deep on one of those chest supported rows that is super heavily loaded at the bottom.
Alright UA-cam comment section, rate this split and stuff you would Change. 1. Chest and Biceps 2. Legs 3. Shoulders and triceps 4. Back Rest 5. Shoulders and Chest 6. Legs 7. Arms 8. Back Rest repeat
I don't ppl but arnold split instead 6x if i want i change the last three days example biceps and back anyways this was helpful info got a few pointers bring his son too.
Can you write out the rock split and also I notice you never add rear delts in the splits. Also nice split by dr.mike, now I do something similar rotation split. 4 day split is what I do for 4 week-6 week deload
Re the lying biceps curls. The crazy DOMS and pump do wear off once you're past the 'novel stimulus' phase. With the deminished loading potential i wonder how a long term comparison with the regular curls would pan out

Super cool breakdown! Thank you Dr. Mike and Dr. Wong!!
Myo reps is great as in intensity technique, I agree with Dr. Mike on this one.
Awesome one. Love Dr. Mike. Always enjoy hearing what he has to say

Weekday workouts last 40-50 minutes and weekends are 60-75 minutes. All done in my home gym: cable stack, power rack, dumbbells, rings, bands.

He probably just had his carbs 😂😂😂😂
Its the perfect optimal science split

Does changing the amount of reps and rest times keep the muscle sensitivity active? Instead of the extra rest?
Great vid !
Never thought of a lying dumbbell curl. Sounds extremely painful so that means I cant wait to try it! 😈
53:04 Well... I managed to crack/bruise a rib whilst digging in too deep on one of those chest supported rows that is super heavily loaded at the bottom.
I don't let chest supported rows stretch me too much or I get clavicle pain near the AC joint.
Alright UA-cam comment section, rate this split and stuff you would Change.
1. Chest and Biceps
2. Legs
3. Shoulders and triceps
4. Back
Rest
5. Shoulders and Chest
6. Legs
7. Arms
8. Back
Rest repeat
Not bad i like it, its a fun and effective at the same time

15:56 UFO
Finally Mike doing some leg extensions haha

Mike is cray crary
17:00 not kidding I thought Mike was in his late 40s
Steroid abuse

Let’s goooo
❤
So many fuc**ng ads . Goddamn!!
Sounds to me like mike is coming around to the Doug brignole style of training 2 years after he mocked it. With age comes wisdom and experience.
Doug? Whose that
Love this, only thing i will say negative about mike is the lock out bullshit and deep stretch i heavily disagree. Extremely harmful for injuries
how
Based on that picture, gear is included.
wow you must be a detective.
No he is a natural born competitor
WAIT WHATTTT NO WAYYY
Omg you might be right
@@ryderliftz I know man. I was was devastated when I first figured it out.
