I highly doubt Mr. Jared ever had a problem with glute activation.

"Youre not a fucking gymnast, you're trying to get jacked" The best doctor advice I have EVER heard.

Gentlemen, we MUST stay focused.

It amazes me how quality information like this is given for free. Thank you Dr. Mike and RP!

I get a dopamine blast every time I see one of these videos pop up

I appreciate the time you take to give these topics a thorough treatment. In the quest to keep things under 10 minutes, other videos leave out most of the nuanced tips you provide.

#2 definitely changed things. Never really did these because I never felt them in my hamstrings. Did feel them tons in the good-morning. Never put 2&2 together. Glad I found this channel through a Juji Mufu video. Great channel. Big fan.

Jared is CAKED UP in this video.

Tried SLDLs the way Dr. Mike describes them in the video and I really feel my hamstrings while doing the movement now. Thanks! 👍

I love how rubbernecking is explicitly mentioned as something that can injure you. On theme for Dr. Mike.

This channel is extremely underrated.❤️

Thank you the thorough explanation. I was doing this at the gym yesterday and couldn't get the right fatigue level on my hamstrings. This definately helps.

Best videos of this kind. No other channel goes this deep into the exercises.

That's 160 degree que was great for me. Totally transferred the tension from my lower back to the hamstrings. Thanks Doc and Jared 👍💪

Holy Shit! This guy is good. Insanely thorough without getting me lost from too much info. I instantly subscribe and will check out the rest of his stuff now!

I'm so grateful for these videos, SERIOUSLY, THANK YOU

An insane amount of information in 28 minutes. Thanks guys

Not sure about #3, Ed Coan puts the bar quite far away, near his toes. RDL=floating during the set SLDL=pauses on the floor each rep Weightlifters stayed extended just because they're....well...basically always training to be in that position. Respect that shout-out to KK though. You all are real students of the sport and I respect the hell out of that.

Dr Mike I would be interested in a video about Nordic ham curls. What the hypertrophic benefit and possibly the STF ratio is!

These are great videos. I am newer to the FPT and these are very helpful. Especially as we are all working out at home. Keep all the amazing free content coming!

I knew I was doing it all wrong. The bit about inconsistent reps was spot on!

The cue that did it for me was a video where the lady said to "emphasize the negative movement" going down. Once I understood that you need to stretch i. e. lengthen the hamstrings, I was able to feel and activate. I love these!

Pro Tip: Lifting in Crocs :-)

It's amazing how long I could be doing the wrong thing. Always thought knees had to be straight. I pulled it off but will no great strength gain. Junk as you said. Tried this, and low an behold I felt it. Even old dog can learn something new. To compensate over the years I guess leg curls made up for it despite the perils I hear people speak about now about leg curls. Anywho, great video, tx 4 the lesson learned

Good stuff.

Jared can sldl with perfect form while he is sleeping, very good

Swear to god this is the hardest thing for me to do correctly

Thanks so much for this, I was trying to follow "partial reps don't count" and using too much ROM. I was thinking to myself I should set up some stops but didn't want to limit my ROM. Then I see this video and then it all makes sense.

I love how you explain the difference between being strongest versus whats best for the hypertrophy of the targeted muscle!

Good stuff as always! Thank you. One question: Jared is starting and finishing his reps at the top. Wouldn’t that be considered a Romanian Deadlift? I have always understood that a Stiff Leg Deadlift is pulled from the floor every rep, and the Romanian Deadlift starts at the top and typically goes down to mid-shin or so, but not touching the ground.

6:45 Jared is literally so caked that his ass is in frame even when he isn’t

I would like a video discussing the mistakes people make on the overhead press (dumbbells and barbell)

One of THE best fitness channels.

Thanks so much for these technique instrumentals. Exactly I needed.

Great video! would love to see Bent over BB rows, flexion rows, dips, leg Press, bench Press variations (Incline, flat, wide or close grip etc.)

I'd really like to see one of these videos for the flat bench and the conventional deadlift.

Love this how to fix videos, find em very helpful. Greetings from Mexico.

This channel is just too good! Salutation du Québec!

Love you technique videos, Mike. Thank you:)

But, to be honest, who gives a shit how flexible you are? You’re not a fucking gymnast, you’re trying to get JACKED!” Lmao i love this man

Was Jared in the movie Prometheus

Thank you for this lesson

This video has the most beautiful explanation comparing RDL to SLDL, I never understood the difference until now, thanks so much!

I would like a video on performing regular dead-lift for back development

Great Video, easy to follow and love the personality in this.

Awesome video! Could you also make a video about Sumo DL?

This one was really helpful. SLDLs are a massive staple for me for the foreseeable future. Any plans do to a high bar squats mistakes video in the future?

I really appreciate these videos yall. I really wish I could get one of yall to coach me during my sessions lol

Well done guys 👊

Excellent video excellent content as always Dr Mike!!👍👏😎💯

Amazing video, Dr. Mike! I would suggest you teach us how to do a deadlift for lower back. Is it true there are 3 types of deadlift? Best,

I use wrist straps for RDL's for grip on the actual exercise, yes, but also because I'm starting a pull workout with RDL's and I need some grip strength left for a bunch of rowing exercises later on.

If you want a dip and close grip Bb video like here.... Nice video Rp!!

I'd really like to see a video on dumbbell rows.

Really great instructional video thanks

I always thought that it was important to keep the pelvis neutral during SLDL and that anterior tilting the pelvis would shift the tension to the low back. I once hurt my low back badly by letting my pelvis slip from neutral to anterior tilted in a rep. Maybe it's just the way my body works but I feel a shift away from the hams to my low back when anterior tilting my pelvis

This was actually so helpful! Thank you!

GREEEEEAAAAT EXPLANATIONS AND EXCELLENT INFO!!

ithink bench press incline and flat deserves a video, best content regarding exercise technique

Can you do the same with a normal deadlift? Thank you for the awesome videos

Ultra good video. Thanks!

absolutely great video!!!!!

Thanks, great tips

Awesome! Please good mornings next!

We need a standardized name for this exercise. I've always called these-stiff leg, starting in the lockout position-Romanian deadlifts. I've assumed stiff leg deadlifts were very similar, only starting from the floor.

I can plant both my palms on the ground and only then can I feel a mediocre stretch in my hamstrings, so this exercise wasn’t stretching my hamstrings sufficiently for the longest time. I realized that putting 2 25lbs plates on the ground and then leaving the heel on the floor and the other half of the foot on the plate and flexing the foot so the toes go in the air gave me the best stretch of my hamstrings in my life. If anyone is too flexible I highly recommend that. I didn’t watch the whole video yet but if this tip isn’t in there I hope this helps.

Much appreciated!

"don't turn your head to look in the mirror. That's fucking stupid." lollll. this guy is great.

Was ready to comment I wanted to see a good morning vid, they already know

Mike lowkey showing off his quads!

Dude, this is awesome

"Who gives a shit how flexible you are, you're not a fucking gymnast, you're trying to get jacked" Haha another hilarious clinical pearl from Dr. Mike

I bet Dr.Mike does a hell of an Arnold impression

Thanks!

Great information.

The stretch on this excerxise is out of the world no other muscle stretches like that lol sometimes I’m scared my hammy will just rip right off even though it doesn’t hurt.

I've just tried SLDL just now and for me I feel a better strech in my hamstrings with a nice wide stance with the toes pointed out compared to a narrow stance where I feel my back working more and not much flexibility in my hips

Lifting in crocs hahah

leg day upgrades unlocked

Dr. Mike Lowkey flexing his own Quads explain about Knee Bend

I get debilitating knee pain, which I believe comes from lateral knee movement/external rotation of the knee (right knee only). It’s worst during the SLDL. Is this a hamstring problem? A hip problem?

every time i watch a video on any lift in general on how to do it or common mistakes, i feel like being at the gym and testing the lift myself incase im doing any of the stuff wrong or whatever lol.

Thats an amazing tank top, with a fantastic historical reference

Dorian Yates does a great demo of this…basically, you should be able to feel the stretch without the bar. You don’t have to go down as far as you think. Keep the pelvic tilt, and shoulders back to keep the tension. Don’t chase weight, cause it will pull your shoulders forward(at least mine does)

What is the best weight for RDL? Is it somehow correlated to deadlift 1RM? In my program RDL goes right after back squat and while I’m doing warmup sets I feel my hamstrings working, but when I use working weight (approx 80% of deadlift 1RM for 3x8) I feel strong pain in tailbone area as if something tearing in there. What could be the reason for that?

I just want to know how to build my posterior like Jared 🍑

Thank I never fully understood the mechanics.

Always great

Bro, I love how you move the hands....

The straight legged deadlift isnt a bad exercise. It's probably bad for hypertrophy but for hamstring flexibility isn't one of the best exercises you can do. Loading Stretching

God man Jared's calves are insane!

Push your bump back against “your imagination “ 😂

Is there videos that go into more depth with the to hypertrophy app?

Thanku coach

28 minutes into the video and that dude is like fuck that $50 wasn't enough

Could we get a video on dumbbell, machine, or cable rear delt flys?

So who is correct? Alan Thrall or Dr. Mike?

A video on rack lifts for the back?

Three secondy centric!
