Mike at the table = voice of reason: Taking every set to failure = too much damage and systemic fatigue compromising your next workout. Mike having a guest = Take every set to failure
but you notice he said, 2 sets per muscle cause he fatigues faster cause hes a bigger dude with bigger muscles. They are going to failure, but arent doing a ton of sets and causing real systemic fatigue. You need to find the balance between reps - whats failure- and how many sets you should do for your body to create enough stimulus without over compromising your system.
Since i discovered Dr. Mike's content on here a couple weeks ago my gains, pumps and physique has truly changed drastically, i literally watch nothing else, ive watched some videos multiple times, my technique, form, full ROM has improved to no end, im so grateful to have this experience
We really need to start talking about finasteride Monoxidil and hair transplants in the fitness world a lot younger . Damn shame this guy didn’t need to suffer this damn young
Blake, I post every day in r/bodybuilding and I never would've noticed this was you if someone on the daily discussion thread hadn't linked me the video of you directly. Good shit my man!
The muscle is cool but I'll trade 50% of that if that means I can keep my hair on my head in stead of my shoulders and the dickskin down below exclusively and not all over... That's not even talking about the tiny nuts and weekly needles. I also don't need 35 year old women to turn me down because I'm too old at 23
It's amazing from how many angles you can attack a muscle that is generally considered to move in only two directions. I will keep this in mind for my workout after work this morning. I've been getting lazier with age (pushing 50) and I really do need the motivation to get my shit together. I really need to start looking at training differently. There are just so many ways to fry a muscle and I've let myself get too complacent. I can't hit it like I did back in the day, but I can still alter my workouts to make them more effective. I need more videos like this to get my creative juices flowing. Thank you for the inspiration.
Great refresher. Saw your earlier video on bb scull trushers and implemented them into my routine. However, after watching this video I see that my form was daresay tf off. Good look Doc.
Blake is the man! I met him at the dragons layer and the dude is going to be a threat as a pro. Incredibly humble dude and I’m excited to see what’s next for him. 🙏
Dr Mike! Any chance of a video on whether you should do accessory exercises and cardio while deloading? Can you go to failure on , for instance, calf raises or bicep curls?
No direct video any time soon, but I will say this here: don't do anything hard on deload. Some cardio is ok, but going to failure on stuff doesn't help reduce fatigue. It's better to go hard in accumulation and go easy on deload. - Dr. Mike
Interesting form on the BB tricep extensions at the start. I would consider the JM press, how many people do it, to be 50/50 in terms of extension to press. The form you demonstrate seems to skew it say 70/30, with just enough press to mitigate the dodgy position of the elbow at the bottom
Definitely JM presses. I wonder how many people are familiar Johnmark Blakely from the powerlifting world though? Probably just easier to call them a skullcrusher variation or in this case, chin crusher.😉
Real shit I'm 25 and I've used gear and I look a decade younger. I hear some of the changes in appearance revert afterwards tho, so some of it may not be permanent
So glad you took a second to mention the weight on the incline dumbbell curls! Even when I’m fresh I do those with 25s and they KILL my biceps finishing on 15s or 20s.
Another comment on the skullcrushers! 95lbs using this form was a hell of a challenge for this dude with THOSE arms. Would it be fair to say that even the average gym goer should start off with literally only 30kg or so?
Watching this while knowing that i have mild tendonitis in my right arm by doing just 3 sets of cable wrist curls 2 days ago makes be a tiny tiny bit jealous, thank godness i took an active rest and that today is leg day. Tommorow is the back day tho, so it better heal by then otherwise it's not gonna end well.
What's recovery like after a workout like this? Are you supposed to go back and hit arms again 2 days later?. I feel like it would take me 2 weeks to recover from this. I'm usualy training 4 times a week
No way this is “close to failure” style. You’re not gonna tell me this isn’t an ultra failure with no reps in reserve workout. Absolutely love it, i’m gonna be sore for a week with this 👍🏻
I tell you what though, in my experience, if you do this type of training with low to moderate weight, you don’t get super sore. When I used to train heavy with looser form I used to get very sore, too sore, and my joints and tendons were always inflamed. Once I switched to this about a year ago I can hit them more frequently, get better pumps and my arms have grown and my biceps are way more vascular! I actually have bicep hose veins most days, especially when training and I’ve been lifting for decades! I never would’ve believed it possible!
Unless it is limiting your mobility or hurts I wouldn't mind it, just warm up elbows with a few light sets of pushdowns that really helps warm up the elbows and triceps.
7:55-8:25 that massive dude in the red sleeveless hoodie in the background doing curls...who is that? Is it Konan the comedian???? Would love to see him train with you guys sometime!
I'm wondering if I could swap the db supported push ups with controlled assisted dips...because of a bad right shoulder I can't do deep stretching push ups like this. Even full body weight dips hurt but assisted dips aren't as bad. These myo sets workouts are insane. I've tried both his shoulder and arm routines using minimal weights and have been sore for days on end. Just in the last few weeks ppl at work keep asking me what I'm doing other than the gym, as in gear lmao
Probably hand width, bar type, thumb vs thumbless, different rep ranges, technique (where are elbows). I think they made a video recently on this on the RP channel.
So when I don't hit the rep range I'm shooting for with x amount of weight, and I lower the weight to hit the reps but still can't produce the reps I need, it's okay to lower the weight to whatever it needs to be to get in that rep/rir range? And if so, how does one use that to judge their progression? The first set? Set by set?
Yeah if you're not hitting the rep range you want, the weight is too heavy for your program. So you count it with the weight you can do in the rep range not the first set.
Mike at the table = voice of reason: Taking every set to failure = too much damage and systemic fatigue compromising your next workout.
Mike having a guest = Take every set to failure
😂true but He also knows this guy is a pro bodybuilder on gear and can recover from it
but you notice he said, 2 sets per muscle cause he fatigues faster cause hes a bigger dude with bigger muscles. They are going to failure, but arent doing a ton of sets and causing real systemic fatigue. You need to find the balance between reps - whats failure- and how many sets you should do for your body to create enough stimulus without over compromising your system.

Saw Jared training with Nick Walker. RP’s getting some Olympia level awareness! A video with Nick would be huge
Where? I'm curious.
Nick's training is awesome. I don't know If there's any elite pro who goes as slow and controlled as he does. Fun to watch
And here I thought I looked old looking like a 30 year old at 30.
So true!

I can agree. Also Jeff nippard is pretty good also
He looks like what I thought 23 year olds looked like when I was 5.
I just did this workout and my arms went from 15.5 to 21 inches thanks jared and mike 😎
Just watching this video made me go from 4 inches to 6!

Way to go! Do it again next week and it will go from 21 in to 25 in!

This is by far the best teaching of all lifting! I❤ MIKE!
That is the most 45 lookin 23 year old I’ve ever seen. His 4th grade teacher was saying yes Sir in response to him.
Crazy phucking physique.
Thats what steroids will do to ya
Love that more mature muscle!!😊😊❤❤❤

if a woman turns you down based on appearance, you dodged a bullet though

Is that the world's oldest 23 year old bodybuilding subreddit mod
Found myself saying "holy sheet" on the last triceps set.
Love the negatives vs gravity
Dream client! So willing and positive!
You know how legit those bicep exercises are with how little weight those big arms needed!
Just did this routine, adapted to my level, and man are my arms worked. Good stuff 👌
The music choice is just absolutely brillant😄
Love how Santa shows up in the background 19:30😂
Jesus christ watching this intensity is hecking emotional

Dragons layer sounds like a fetish club.
I have a meso coming up where I will have an arm day thanks for putting this out guys!
The best content on this channel is training normal dudes like Adam Ragusea.........without a doubt the best collaboration on this channel.
It’s cannon that dr Mike was born 1843 now
one of your best workout vids ever!!!
This guy was good. He didnt try to ego lift adding too much weight. He did great reps. So coachable. No ego.
The stalker video angle 📐at 15:20 had me burst out laughing lol
23 years old, huh? Interesting
Inspiring 🔥🔥 What music is that at 9:00? Intense
I'll only try if Mike shows up to my crunch gym and motivates me.
Ok, Phil, see you tonight at 6pm! - Dr. Mike
@@RenaissancePeriodization it was 7pm when you typed this 🤔
😂
I appreciate that Blake took off his shoes so they wouldn't crease while doing the pushups :)
That stretch in the push up you just know is BURNING! Fucking love this shit.
i saw those jared curls on none other than Børge Fagerli youtube channel! great minds think alike
13:45 the waiter's curl using the EZ bar
19:10 Shout out to the white top guy in the back who went to get the door.👍

steroids they age u
Hopefully someday ill be able to get a brutal training session with these guys, that is my new #1 goals aside from competing in mens physique
This dude's arms prevent him from working out his arms. Wtf.
My elbows started hurting just from watching this
Same.

Look at that bomb TFR ad! Wow!
It's so good! Who made it???? - Dr. Mike
How do you determine when you need more reps so you drop the weight opposed to staying on higher weight and less reps?
If you are aiming for 10 reps but cant do it, maybe only 6, then drop the weight next set and get your 10 rep goal.
This cid got me fuckin hype. Good shit
How do you feel about alternating between tri/bi exercises, instead of doing all the tri exercises before doing the bis?
time efficient
Time efficient but not optimal. Since you will loose abit of energy doing super sets.
@@ardet1527dont know if he actually mean supersetting or the order of exercise though?
It's totally fine either way! - Dr. Mike
Trouble I have is biceps blow up then can't get full stretch on triceps, I have to do tris first then bis
Haha....Mike you SMOKED that dude! But he was a beast!

Throwing up from training arms? Savage.
Deep and explode, Mike favourite combination of words 🤣
What's recovery like after a workout like this? Are you supposed to go back and hit arms again 2 days later?.
I feel like it would take me 2 weeks to recover from this.

If they are recovered you train them again if not you wait

good video!
Do the two bicep excersizes compliment each other like wide grip ez bar and hammer curls?
Different profiles man...incline curls train the biceps at his lengthened position
sure !!
"You are here to collect the pain" - Dr. Mike 😂😂😂
bro looks 43 years old
This guy looks like he can slap a demon out of your body
Yea buddy! That’s that ARMO work ethic! I hope one day I can workout with Mike. We can talk so much trash in Russian or would be amazing. 🇦🇲
This would be a dream to train with you guys, would be so fun.
Christ. Quality skullcrushers with 50+ KG's. That's reserved for a small minority of people for sure.
Hey Dr Mike, can you make a video on flexibility and mobility programming, with some practical exercise selections as well. Thanks
Lol, yea ask the guy that can't skull crush or touch his back about flexibility lol
Why not superset antagonist muscles
You can do that as well
what is the name of song that is playing during the first exercise?
Nice to see a fast twitch guy in action.
What incline is that 45 I do 70 with incline curls feels like a more intense stretch for me
1 question how must rest must he take before the next hit
Are elbows popping during skullcrushers concerning at all?
No if not painful
Unless it is limiting your mobility or hurts I wouldn't mind it, just warm up elbows with a few light sets of pushdowns that really helps warm up the elbows and triceps.
If it doesn't hurt, it's no big deal. - Dr. Mike

Hey Jared, what is the “elbows in” cue for, or what does keeping the elbows in do for the curl?
It opens up the biceps. U can actually feel it if you try it

It's always the Jared technique thats money, whichever technique I experiment I come back to it.
I see some side delts development in Dr. Mike.
Do you have any videos explaining the diff between fast twitch muscle fibers n slow?
He's 23!? Fuck me he's had a tough paper round! 😂
What’s the difference between a JM press and a skull crusher
now that's intense!
Unfortunately doing intense movements like these are the only things giving me a decent pump anymore.
Devin Booker’s brother is jacked
Are there any adjustments that can be made with skullcrushers to lessen the strain on the elbows? Other than not doing them?
Incline instead of flat bench.
Probably hand width, bar type, thumb vs thumbless, different rep ranges, technique (where are elbows). I think they made a video recently on this on the RP channel.
Use dumbbells
Even with juice, being that massive at 23 is impressive. woah
Would this even be a viable program for someone natty?
Am I the only one who hears Mike in their heads throughout their workouts now? 😅
“ControlControlControl - SLOWSLOWgoddamnyou- as if another!”
What! it took me 40 years to get a beard like that he did it in 17 probably. Damm the testo on this guy must be massive
How long rest periods for arm training on myosets?
Going to have to try zapping the hamstrings first on leg day tomorrow
Jared's got a seriously great haircut here ...
16 set How? Its to slow move to failure
