I think i might be in the top 500k percentage😂💀
Well said champ , amazing info as usual, my only criticism here is the juice 🥤, it is a very very important part of the story , I understand u can’t promote it , nor speak freely about it, but without advice on it I believe 50% of the advice is missing, I respect u highly plz don’t mind my comment
#1 to #10 one is not taking steroids
@mitchellhooperstrongman You are such an ambassador for professional sport and an inspiration and role model for young men. Big respect to you for the humility, grounding and positivity you bring. Regardless of your insane feats of strength, you have earned the respect of millions around the world for the quality human being you are. Big up to you, legend 🙌 👏
Hell if Athlete's are willing to change gender 😂to win why not just have the surgery and make themselves stronger like you are saying here just reattach this muscle 💪 a tiny bit over!
An from the physical activities of my brother the DR has already told him square it with yourself you are going to have to have surgery on your arms.. football small guy Rudy but 100 nothing 😁🤘 5 nothing gets hit 😮 wow his arm dislocated in the air then popped back in 🤣 when he hit the ground and dislocated the other arm and shoulder all in about 3 to 1 second 😢😢
Hurting yourself is improvement 💪 unfortunately a reality 😔 a lot of people face my body under X-ray 🩻 shows if I can just break 🤣 my other shoulder in the same place I will be right ha ha ha 🤣 but I don't think I can break my Elvis pelvis in the middle to fix the way my legs grew sleeping in the same bed 🛏️ for 20 years Which is why they tell people to change your mattress when 😂 about every 8!
As usual great advice. Congrats on your recent strong man win too. 👍
I prefer to listen to people who didn’t cheat to become strong you’re a step head you might be a nice guy but you take steroids you’re not strong
I am the strongest man on Earth. Yo imagine wtf
If someone is obese then surely 1g per 1lb is too much, no?
You forgot sleep.
Congruent….@8:44. Great video and great word!
I'm essentially a beginner, coming back into the gym after ~7y off.
But my progress is very good as of late. I have applied these general principles in a similar hierarchy.
Getting into the gym is below being relatively low stress and taking plenty of moments to chill out and nap.
My diet is basically calories +/-200. Protien 100g minimum, 120g target. 150 being perhaps "ideal" but there is no discernible difference in gainz. Honestly the science shows 0.42-0.6g per pound of bodyweight. Fat weight does not need protein. So Perhaps 0.7g per pound of lean mass is actually fine. The recommendation only arrives at 1g per pound of overall bodyweight are for very lean, advanced lifers on various mounts of who knows what. And then apply two standard deviations to the scatter in the data, which nearly doubles the number. That is where 1g/lb came from.
You're dead wrong about over training.
My God how could you not love Mitch. I am 150lb wet and what is the point in comparing myself to a 350lb beast. I am old now in peak terms at 47, always been natural and at my peak managed 1 rep at 100Kg on the bench, with insane grind after failing week after week took me 3 years to hit that after a major deload, now we hear, 'all gym guys should be able to press 100kg' what bollocks.😂
This is yoked shane gillis
Forgot to mention you also take steroids, duh
Look a talking thumb
Ive made this comment on 3 different videos now because i need help
I was bedridden for 8 months and loat all my leg muscles, couldnt even walk on stairs without my legs shaking
I begun to train again 3 months ago and its been going pretty well, but now i got signed to play for a low leauge soccer club, and i told them what ive been through, but anyway, i have a couple of months bow before the season starts and i need to get my overall leg strength up as fast as possible. And i dont really know the best way forward, if i do alot of sets on a single workout i cant train my legs for like a week so ive been playing around doing lighter days, heavier days, but not alot of sets each time. Does anyway know the best way to go forward? I do appreciate every answer no matter what.
Two points from my experience (as natural yet consistent lifter been in GYM for decades):
1. I really like to rollerskate and am also kinda fond to cycle around time to time even longer distances (30km+). Yet I consciously try to avoid cardio (typical session would be 40 min to max 1.5h hours in a tempo I can easily manage, recovery is say 5-6 out of 10) as my legs are just shot afterwards for 2-3 days and my leg exercise weights do go down quite a bit e.g. if I would squat 140 kg for 8 reps then after cardio + 1-2 days rest I would battle 130 for the same rep range.
2. I am not sure if that is the age thing or am I doing something incorrectly, but I actually switched to 2 (with rare exceptions 3) GYM sessions per week as I could not live normally with 3-4 workouts per week as
a) I felt like s#$# all week long as it was either workout day or heavy recovery day
b) I just felt like my muscles could lift but my brain just shut down and did not move the weights / after such workouts limited my excitement to do anything in daily life = I would call that overtraining? or at least I feel like I cook my brain/CNS before my muscles
Like I do not get too sore rather just totally unmotivated to go to GYM / even when I get there I just can't focus on lifting heavy again.
Any comments / suggestions?
Great video. Simple, no bullshit, purely honest.
Good stuff Mitch!
Well said
Always enjoy your guidance and encouragement Mitchell. I have done some kind of bodybuilding training for a lot of my life. I started strength training at 78 and am 84 now. Have a runners body and genetics but love to get strong. Glad you reminded me to be proud of my gains. Struggled to get 3 reps with 135 hexbar deadlift and now do 235 for 5 and a 265 single. I know how far I have come.
You strike me as a man who is also very strong and stable emotionally. I lift and care about strength, but I can assure anyone that all the strength in the world isn't that great without emotional strength. Getting physically stronger made me undestand I need to improve there. The benefits are worth the effort.
Before I watch I wanna guess at a few of these….at least these have been true in my experiences
If you wanna get strong:
First and foremost move heavy weight with control.
Be athletic in your movements. If you're gonna do box jumps, then do them as if you needed to jump to save your life.
And my biggest tip, sometimes lower weight for faster reps per set are more beneficial to strength than higher weight at a slower rep speed.
This is just in my experiences. My bench went up faster when I focused on 185lba and building sets at a faster pace and increasing reps every week than I did just trying to do a 5×5 with small increases.
Also you dont need 2 hours. You can 100% get a completely toasted workout in 30 minutes…intensity is king
