This was so clear and straightforward for a beginner. Appreciate the breakdown!
Greg didn’t make a video on how to train for strenght so I had to betray him harder than last and greg my isreatel seventiii NOYYYYYYYNNN times
how do bulk and cut go along with stength and hypertrophy phases?
It's retard to wear a mask
For advanced athlete working all the time 80 – 90% can cause injury and other problems. Most of the elite level athletes use weights about 65 – 75% most time, to develop general strength, using progressive overload and each 6 – 8 weeks recalculating RM. 80 – 90% loads are used only gor peaking.
Should all the sets be taken to 0 RIR
How many masks should you wear for your thumbnail?
my dumbass did the math the. u stated the exact amounts of reps im able to do with 80% and 92.5%
Absolutely the only video without bs that actually works
how is this free?!
I love that I’ve watched so many of these videos that I can tell what phase Dr. Mike is in.
Here's what. Here's why. Now it's on you. Love it.
yeee
I don't know how heavy, but I do know that mask don't work for covid
Sound advice
Should use reps in reserve with the sets of 3-6 reps?
Just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos, currently in a plateau. Hope I break through it these next couple weeks with these tips:))

Dude, fuck college! All I need is RPU! 😤😀
Honestly this series is a godsend. I've been trying to build workout plans and exercises to build strength for months now and I've been left with a ton of questions and they're all getting answered cause of this guy. Absolutely love it.
Hi! Can you please make a video about autoregulation? Thank you!
Great series
What about RIR? Do we start at the beginning of the meso with 4 RIR and we go down to 0 RIR at the end of it? Do we approach strength training like hypertrophy training from RIR stand point?
Sets of 8 on skullcrushers wont make your triceps bigger?? Only stronger?? Hmmm 🤔
Trying So Hard not to sound like a Fan Girl 🤡 That being said..Thank You so Much Dr. for your advice! I’m a performance athlete aka Aerial / Pole / Hip hop dancer .. I’ve been told pole dancers have no Booty and it’s best to keep your legs “light” .. These videos are priceless! Do you by chance do any coaching? Thank You Again & Merry Christmas 🎄! Love&Light! Sheri Morgan✨💗💗
Another great video!
Thanks for the awesome content Mike👍
But point of this industry is "HaRdEr ThAn ThE lAsT tImE".
Dr. Mike is the real G.O.A.T. !
This man sounds (and to an extent, looks) like Jocko Willink
Listens intently in joint pain
Another damn solid, super clear and accurate video. Amazing work man, your channel is a gem
Awesome new intro!!!
Imagine being able to go back in time and train an ancient army with all the stuff we know now
Good points mike . I first week into a new 6 week cycle.. I do. 60% plus / first 2 weeks then go up 70 % next 2 weeks then last 2 weeks I do 81% Plus //. And I still doing high rep sets .. at present and then a deload week .. I just trying to keep it simple in gym . Cause it a community gym .. I prefer a private or home gym .. but I take what I can use for now .. body feeling great //. Injures settled down a lot lately too which is very nice .. so going for gains now .. because injuries have quite down at present.. balance getting better to after a head injury few years back to which is nicer to be more stable on feet ,. Be nice to see in 6 months from now .. @marcus
I would like to smack the grandmothers of the two people who disliked this video
Good info
Two weak people disliked this video.
We do not deserve this man
Training at 5×5 at approx 90% was the quickest and strongest I ever got, but as Mike notes the amount of joint and ligament stress builds up. 12 weeks was my limit but I got really strong doing that consistently in bench, DL and squats
Great content. I have literally learned so much watching Mike over the last few days..
This series is brilliant 💎
I learn more here than my college classes 😂
doesnt 75% of 1RM build great strength gains?……
Discipline and commitment
don't watch the video
@
HEAVIER THAN THE LAST TIME
Succinct and very informative, you are frickin amazing!
Whoever disliked this video is weak
I dont have to watch this one, i will stick to my fahves
Short, sweet, and to the point. Good content as always 💪🏼
While watching this vid (thanks for it btw) a question arose in my head and I felt confused (rarely happens: sarcasm) and could not answer by my self.
I used to believe we could do both hypertrophy and strength training (in a cycle), but I lost the mental clarity to explain it to my self, how can both be done, neural, myofibral, sarcoplasm? what? playdough is playdough, how much can one mould it?
Doesn't one training change the state established by the other training?
Thank you in advance if you get to answer this Docs.
