I come to this man's videos for both stellar advice and verbal abuse, i love it
Double whammy
Same!
Hello brother
What you’re referring to is a Jump cut. Influencers do this to keep the viewer more engaged because our gen z ass can’t watch a video longer that 15 secondlong unless theres a jump cut every 5 seconds🤣. Love the rants. Keep em comin, Mr Wyck.
I've always thought it's because they want to get the best possible take of every single sentence.
I started doing push downs the way Mike recommended. For years my tris were weak, flat in the back and little side development. My shoulders took over every compound movement for tris. Im 58 amd my tris are getting bigger than ever in my life with the isolation movement's Mike suggests. No close grip bench or overhead DB extensions etc. AND I got much stronger on the press down doing it Mikes way also- do it works on strength also! Thanks Mike! 👍🏻
Awesome
Control the Bar all the way to the chest .. I try to pull the bar like a row and when my elbows are behind me and scaps are together..pause 3 to 4 seconds in that "pined" position then I lift the bar under control with no arch and with a little leg drive .. to lock out . I learned this years ago and it works for me .
Consistency over time, proper form, I don’t count( to failure), weight that won’t brake your form. All of this is 100% correct.
Jerry Brainum said the same but on a more complex form.
Best thing for me was filming my sets and counting reps after my workout. Leaves me to not be able to cheese my way through it
It's weird but there are ppl at my gym who are 100% all about how much weight they can move. They have twigs for legs but can squat 405 lbs. I would rather build muscle and can only do half that weight but that's just me.
This.
Exactly, idc about how strong I am, only other dudes care about that 😂 I just want to look good
thats the difference between powerlifting and body uilding mindset. powerbuilding which is funny cuz the title is powerbuilding is bs but that idea would be to do both train both ways whether in the same workout or transitioning back and forth. i like to do both because i want to look like i can move weight and be able to move weight so ya idk rlly doesnt matter what you like to do just enjoy the gym dont hate on people help people out that need it and rerack your fuckin weights.
@@adamw7158 💯
That's why you gotra be clear on your own goals and work to acheive what you want
Mike should have millions of subs. Only reason I can possibly think of is that people are too soft to actually take his advice in the way he says things 😂
Huge fan , 48 yo man no pain anymore lifting on muscle. Getting bigger !!! When is the next merch drop? Who makes the wedge and the rope handle for triceps? You my man is the best love all the videos and the opinions. Thanks for changing my life BIG MIKE
Dynepic Sports spiral strength singles tricep rope & neutral grip handle I believe is what they are.
What people think powerbuilding is: Doing main lifts with hypertrophy focused accessory work. AKA powerlifting.
What powerbuilding actually is: trying to combine bodybuilding and powerlifting methodologies to optimize both training styles at once and being ineffective at both.
Powerlifters practice the lockout range as well because its very important to be strong in that range as the weight slows down or even gets close to stopping. Also, when he talked about the editing of "influencers" it made me realize why him, lee priest, rich piana and guys like him are the only ones I can stand watching.
This guy is one of the best voices out there right now. Definitely should have a podcast but don’t be like the rest and have mainstream guests…….get some different guests that we don’t see everyday. You’re awesome man. Love the information.
Mike, you are killing me!!! “Always chopping” I couldn’t stop laughing. Hey at 59 I’m certain you’ve helped a lot to improve and avoid injuries. Thank you.
Since i follow Mike, i am injury free and my joints feels good. Mind muscle connection is way better. Started training in the 70's with almost no information but some magazine and Joe Weider spring chest expander with the power twister bar lol. Diet of GOMAD and tuna cans. When is the new drop Mike?
I threw in powerlifting moves at the start of my workouts for years when I was casually lifting. But, when I started training more specifically for classic physique, I dropped them because they were taking up recovery energy. I grew for the first time in a loooong time and I think that was a big part of it. Funny thing is, I went back to deadlift the other day just to see where I was at after not doing it for a year....I was within 10-12% of my best, lol. Sigh, so much for specificity. I guess a bit more muscle in the right places, letting nagging injuries heal etc. idk. But, I'll be training for quality muscle here on in.
this is why i fuckin live pause reps. nobody ever does it, everyone is scared at the bottom of the rep.
Man, part of the reason I watch your videos is for the comedy you provide while clowning on the wannabes. #goodstuff
Thanks for all the info Mike!!!
Thank f**k I have come across Mike video’s, it has changed the way I am now lifting and I have had more benefit from mike teachings than years of lifting listening to others. However, I still watch Mountain Dog who will always be with us, I was doing one of the exercises Mountain Dog was passing on in reference to doing an all round Delt raises, I thought this one looks easy enough, here was Mounting Dog doing the exercise with what looked like 10 kg dumb bells and I couldn’t even do it with the 5 kgs.
But my excuse is I am 65 so I was punishing myself with the 4kg weight and thought no the form is BS and reduced it even further to 3kg but I have gone from the 8 reps dog said to do to 10 reps when I can achieve more reps then I will go up prior to trying 4 kg and this is when you see how strong people like Mike and Mountain Dog really are and their dedication to weight lifting.
I also like Mike’s movements because I have a replacement shoulder but using mike’s techniques he as helped heaps so from this old Aussie, Mike thank you mate, because my body is F**Ked after 35 years in the Australian Army and as I say at 65 year old I am making gains listening to you, lifting lighter using your angles and movements.
I do a hybrid style training high intensity training by Don Yates and Mike mentzer then month-and-a-half later I do a mechanical drop set 4 weeks I do not know if I'm right I want to focus on getting strong wear the most weakest at the lengthen range
Love these rants/talks. I gain so much knowledge from you brotha. Keep it up!
😂😂😂. Big Mike never disappoints!!
“Edit that out” 😂
Long time follow / subscriber and I have made much progress with just turning 40 this year. Thanks man for your help. Question on my trt been seeing my doctor for 5 years and it’s old school 200 ml every 2 weeks. Any advice about newer doctors ext’. Your the man an thank you
Bodybuilding Yoda you are Big Mike, indeed;-) Thank you for all the tips and tricks as to proper movement execution. You've often stressed the need to spend an appropriate while in the bottom position of an exercise (or let the weight "sink" in the lengthened / bottom position). Let me ask you a question as to whether one should relax the target muscle in the bottom position /use the stretch reflex in exercises like triceps pressdowns, presses for chest, leg presses or squats, etc. or should one keep "constant tension" (I might misunderstand the aplication of the constant tention principle but I feel that concentrating on keeping constant tension of the working muscle makes it hard to let the weight "sink" in the bottom position as the trainee gets too tight trying to keep the muscle tensed troughout the full range of motion). Thank you in advance and all the best from Poland
My dose of daily wisdom love it 👌🤌
Haters will always be haters.. but the truth lies within.. Wycked is the way as the infamous Mandalorian would say!
Damn don't tell Mike O'tren.
Out here spitting facts!
Thinking about installing a grab bar beside my toilet, for leg day. Fack!
I've spent years air f***ing. Not in the gym though. I do a lot of acid.
Have to have my Fix
not everything needs a label lol. “Powerbuilding” is what every powerlifter should be doing unless they’re close to hitting records in their weight class - focusing on getting stronger and bigger at the same time
The biggest guys in my gym are never the strongest, I've noticed that they train with moderate weight and focus on feeling the muscle.
The Man The Best BMVW 💪🏻💯
Thanks coach
It has gotten really bad. You can learn a lot from both but make sure you check who is providing the info. They are two different sports and I will never tell a bodybuilder what to do because I am a powerlifter. They need advice on powerlifting I will try to help but I will never say my way is the right or best way. Too many people don’t ever verify what people say and end up worse than where they started. In powerlifting so many of these kids being taught wrong and their going to have back, shoulder, and knee issues by the time they are 18 that could of been avoided. Most of the people teaching these kids are the people you are talking about. These so called coaches in the gym that claims to be powerlifters or bodybuilders telling the kids they are going to make them All American athletes has gotten out of control in our area. 100% agree with what you are saying.😂😂
Dude is yoda of form and movement
🔥🔥🔥
Air fucking 400lbs.....hahahahah. oh man. Love it
Mike!!’ Release a program already!!
Take my money and tell me what to do, Lady Sonia!
Eh, Mike!
@@michaelmeyers4950 exactly!!! Take my money! In Mike we trust
@@Bendertrickster Let‘s make Mike a religion so we can legitimately yell „Preach“ as if we were black.
Hell Imma do it now: Preach!
@@michaelmeyers4950 I f with it. PREAAACHHH
@@Bendertrickster Good Lord have mercy when we get this thing rollin.
What do we need? A pimp pur, square glasses and a diamond covered clipboard?
We gon‘ set headquarters in Louisana right?
I wish someone had told me this thirty years ago. Guilty of badly pushing lots of plates. And the irony is, not once did I ever get asked to lie on my back and press 5 20kg discs in each hand. Not once. A skill as useless as being able to peel the skin of a rice pudding with my feet. I feel mugged off. I later discovered, THEY HAVE MACHINES for that. Wow, who knew? No, complete waste of time. Although I have achieved the lofty heights of almost being crippled and now have a chest like a trifle. Woo hoo! How cool is that kids? Lessson: Listen very carefully to your uncle Mike.
I agree
How do we buy merchandise. . I need some in my life!!
I think Mike got some new.arm ink since last time I saw him
spitting nothing but knowledge here... btw why do people bench like that??? why yall arching so much???? whats the purpose there? lmao PERPLEXING
It cuts the ROM down and also helps with leg drive
@@baconblaster6422 interesting… that would have greater chances of fucking up your back though 🤷🏽♂️
@@MadsofMads I think they make sure their lats are extremely strong so it becomes a reverse row of sorts while laying on a bench. Done correctly there isn’t much risk of injury versus doing any other type of lifting. They pull the bar out of the rack with their lats and stay completely tight the entire time , versus a regular bench presser pushing the bar out of the rack and getting out of position , and pressing completely witn their shoulders and barely using lat drive to pull the bar to the chest. I’ve seen more injuries for regular benches than powerlifters but usually it’s their deltoid getting destroyed over time. Think more along the lines of torn pecs and torn rotator cuffs etc. I was a powerlifter for 10 years before switching to a hybrid bodybuilding approach
Correct
Did I miss the reasoning as to why "flat bench is useless for women." Do women not have pecs? Is there not a good percentage of women who may have to push a man off of them in self defense at some point? Do women not do pushing movements at their jobs, in everyday life, etc? I'd honestly like to know whether there's a legitimate reason for this line of thinking or whether it's just typical fitness misogyny.
Mike O Tren talk eh?
Yes power bodybuilding is fake
What does that mean?
@@christopherengland654 Power bodybuilding is Mike O Hearns style of training but probably more marketing bs
😂😂😂
What is power building?
💛
It only works if you eat duck eggs
Hahahhhaah
I agree100%
It’s like after the drake video, there’s always drake playing in the background 👀
He was drakes bodygaurd.
@@dewmontain123 I know bud, that’s what I mean - after he dropped the video with Drake, coincidentally there seems to be drake playing in the vids
I have been powerbodybuilding from the 1980s, doug Hepburn did it in the 1950s ,and he was from Canada, I usually love your stuff , but this time I think you missed the mark
no, youre a body builder who enjoys powerlifting lifts
Some of the best bodybuilders in the world also happen to be powerlifters. They go in sync with each so basically this shit doesn't matter. Both build up your body at varying strength levels regardless.
Yes and no
This is so wrong it‘s the wrongest.
what do you mean? who on the olympia stage is a powerlifter?
@@oooooba8343 to be fair, in the past, we can recall people like Ronnie Coleman. But you can listen to him talk about training and he’ll tell you that the only thing he took from powerlifting is the work ethic. Outside of that, it was all feel, squeeze, pump, etc
@@theelement6255 - RC is legitimately the human being who is genetically closest to being from Mars that science ever came across. And yet and still he had 370 injuries and 55 surgeries.
That is literally the worst argument ever trying to back the wrlngest thing ever written.
And I get to witness it.
So,… thanks, but no thanks.
No disrespect. But you came to to the golf court with the printed songtext of „She loves you“ (Beatles) and a pool noodle.
I disagree Mike, powerlifting really isn’t the ultimate test of strength. It is a very specific test of strength based on 3 arbitrary lifts with a barbell. Strongman is a much better test of strength.
"Unconverted Followers." Nice turn of phrase.
Anyway, some of us just want to air-fuck 400 lbs up, man.
You’d be more pretty too💐
Flat bench bar bell is absolutely useless unless used for power lifting only??? hmmmm
It is very useful…. For triceps and front delts😂. The point he makes is that flat bench is primarily a strength movement, not a pectoral hypertrophy movement.
but AthleanX would 100% disagree with you.
Powerlifting is a sport, if you’re lifting to get as big and strong as you can then your a power builder. Enough with the hair splitting, who cares anyway. People lift weights for as many different reasons as their are people.
It’s not splitting hairs when the protocol needed to achieve the desired results in bodybuilding vs powerlifting are literally exact opposites! i.e. making the lifting of a weight as advantageous as possible to move the highest number as in powerlifting VS making the lifting of a weight as _disadvantageous_ as possible (whilst still being safe) in order to trigger and achieve the most hypertrophy whilst using the most efficient stimulus to fatigue ratio to maximise muscle size as per the goal of bodybuilding.
They’re literal opposites.
@@johnjohntv1195 Yeah okay, I’ve known to many men who have been accomplished in both simultaneously to believe your theory.
Idk. Powerbuilding seemed to work pretty well for Johnny Jackson. Branch Warren. Ronnie. Johnnie Harris. Efferding. Spotto trained a lot like a bodybuilder after his heavy work. Coan ...Dorian went heavy....people are so stupid when they try to debate shit that's not that complicated. Go heavy then get a pump. Simple. Even if all you do.is train like a bodybuilder consistently you'll probably still be pushing more weight for sets of 8-10 than half of the kids maxing out. Too much hot air on the internet but people just want views and content for the sake of content
Idk if you actually listened to what Mike said in this vid. Your response sounds like your just reacting to the title
Ben Pollack is the GOAT powerbuilder. Insane total and great physique as a powerlifter turned ifbb pro
@@theelement6255 feel free to back up your point because you sound like you dont have one
You realize the views he got just from the title. He don't bench 135 lb and get a chest like that he ain't curling 20s for big arms
@@anthonycaruso5527 I didn’t make a point nor did I try to make one. I pointed out your inattentiveness.
Yeah for those of us that are not professional bodybuilders, power building is just not nearly as boring for a natty lifter
I disagree 100%
Which part?
Explain
Found the big bench guy
@@jasonsteen5282 I peed a bit 🤣
Don‘t touch the oven. It might be hot.
