True , this whole conversation itself is pointless . Nobody wants a lawsuit on them . Trying too hard to portay a clean image of being a celebrity trainer

Dude says he wants bloodwork on his clients, then goes into how one had a heart attack and needed a stent. I mean... I could see high cholesterol being an issue, but what in someone's bloodwork shows signs of an impending heart attack? I genuinely want to know. Otherwise, he's FOS.

Was literally pointless of Mike to indulge this nonsense.

@@nicholastotoro7721troponin levels

Agreed. Don't blame him but the ignorance defence works agains him. Even if he didn't use them, why wouldn't he know about them. A hobbyist mechanic may not know how to pull apart an F1 engine BUT sure as hell knows what fuel it takes.

Great interview though I really enjoyed it

😅😅😅

Who says he isn’t?

😂😂 Thanks for pointing that out.. Now I can't unsee it..

You can get there bro

Keep in mind these are people that think being chalked with straps and a belt and knee sleeves sumo stance is still deadlifting

I’m interested….who are his parents?

​@@MrCk1234567890 and did they close? He targeted folks with $$$ and was successful. Only need to leverage that success once

Don't think training rich people is lucrative? Go ask trainers who specialize in equestrian and sailing how much they're pulling a month

@@samwroblewski748 Yes the work is lucrative but the fucking question was how did he get the funds to open a private gym in New York with a 15 year lease in the first place?

That was what I took away too. His clients have doctors that can prescribe that stuff. They don’t need him for their gear.

Its like a few years ago when the MLB had the steroid scandal and all the athletes were like "oh we had know idea we were just going to a health clinic. " And then they just sorta swept it under the rug

He also says he has a team including doctors...

this guy isnt an honest narrator though.

😂

Hahaha 😂

more like brother?

Thank you! Trying to listen to this guy is driving me nuts!

He could get into politics

@@claytonmutchman4527Same thing here! And for me, I feel it’s mainly because he likes to talk about himself a little bit too much. Are you feeling the same? Peace!🙂

I thought i was the only one jajaja pointless video.

How else you think he’s in Hollywood…

You got it. He's putting up with the bs in hopes of getting a foot in the door

See that sweater? "This video brought to you by Pfizer."

yeah, this guy is not an honest narrator

@@frankmc5112omfg not Travis swift 😂😂

The deadlift thing is not actually that impressive. Maybe for the average person but not for a serious, super experienced lifter. Have to account for the fact he's been training hard consistently for 20+ years, and is rich. He can afford the best quality food, supplements, doctors, physical therpists, massages, and all the best cutting edge fitness equipment and fitness related modalities. Do that for that long and anybody can hit that deadlift

bro I could do like 10 reps at 430 right now and I'm not even really deadlifting much these days.

@@user-uy3tm9ee5l430 isn't that impressive but 20 reps though? i'm not saying it's impossible but the world record for 405 is/was like 50 reps so 430 for 20 seems pretty wild. Happy to eat my words if it is there is a video floating around.

​@@user-uy3tm9ee5l Absolutely delusional.

Yeah I don’t think it’s that crazy either.

Is that a Seinfeld or Louis CK joke or something

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You pay $20 a month? Is it only a weight room they got? They have basketball courts? Swimming pools?

Yeah I was curious if he was gonna get into it and clearly didn't. Trying to say people need to own it, lol okay.

He trained hugh for the first xmen movie, hugh looked like shit in that movie and got on gear for x2

@@brendanjahoda5450 He said for Wolverine and Australia, not X-Men 1. Given that Australia came out in 2008 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine was 2009, I'm guessing he meant the origins movie, not the 2013 "The Wolverine". Hugh wasn't very big in X2 either. It was during the timeframe when this guy says he trained him that he basically doubled in size. He was super jacked in Australia as well.

Hugh was like 6’1” 185. He was never big at all. He just looked big on screen because he was lean.

Hugh Jackman is also 6’3 190-205. If anyone thinks that’s unnatural you’re delusional. He’s not that strong, he doesn’t have a tremendous amount of mass…he’s just shredded. It’s not that hard to get shredded if you know what you’re doing.

Yeah not a lot about this. Just nebulous " Drs" and "creatine". I don't know anyone that randomly takes bloods. During the conversation, he brings up Chris Hemsworth as a "this guy has trained for a long time" sidestory. Amazing.

@@wesleylang172 He was talking about creatine when he was talking about Ryan Reynolds, who is imo unlikely juicing. The fact that he doens't know anything about steroids can 100% be true. Obviously he knows some of his clients are juicing but that doesnt mean he is involved in that aspect. He is a coach. Also when Mike brought up steroids I kinda feel like he had this "I cant really talk about this, but I know what you're trying to say" energy

⁠​⁠@@wesleylang172had a good laugh to consider Chris hemsworth never had any background with athletics other than having a modeling career before acting. Than here’s the fact that he gained a godlike physique in his late 30s while his prime he’s just, tall and normal physique. Trained for a long time is the dumbest someone can ever say without being specific. No matter how long you’ve trained you don’t get an Arnold physique naturally nor build muscles with that mass and be toned within a year without enhancement

Yeah, I'm not sure what this conversation had to do with steroids. I would have to say click bait.

@@dendrien Not time to watch this but did the bald guy say that Hemsworth didnt take streoids?

He's a bullshitter. He's was handed daddy's money to start gyms and then got lucky his buddy knew Hugh Jackman and passed him off to him. I'm sure he's an OK trainer(not saying much considering most trainers are shit) but he's probably worried that Mike would go in depth on actual training. He would be exposed as mediocre, lucky Mike was more focused on the topic of the celebrity training industry itself instead of actual training.

I thought the same thing. There's something fake about this guy. Classic Hollywood.

It is not his fault ok? He is from NY

he SCREAMS "im from LA". Everything about him screams industry... especially the way he speaks twice as loudly as Dr Mike during the whole thing, despite being mic'd.

Lol, armchair psychologist and body language expert. You know that even 'experts' in detecting lies don't perform much better than chance, right? It's a pseudoscience. You have zero idea whether he's hiding something.

He had to wear that sweater :)

And a personal trainer

and Smarms

And 6 workouts a week😂😂😂

Yeah was think the same thing

I kept waiting on him to explain how, but...

@@celerywarrior6493 we know how, TRT

ayo wtf for real

that number isn't that amazing, it might be if he was 60

I'm not one of them, but I have seen several people who think big studios like Marvel have doctor on the payroll for this kind of thing. The actors finding their trainers through word of mouth makes more sense, but with how controlling studios can be it's not unreasonable to assume they handle that as well.

The studio doesn't literally provide them with a guy, but they do have the contacts for guys who and give them gains they need to make that sure don't look natty.

Facts lol

Ok? Mine was over 1200 at 42.

When you do enough things right, natural T levels can be easily over 1100, even in late 40s (like me)

100% I was about to comment the same thing.

@@User-54631 Excuse me sir it's called a power bloat

@@User-54631 If i knew who you were personally, i would bet you my life savings I could inject a gram of test a week and eat mcdonalds and win a BB competition. Once youre blasting synthetic test or on some kind of other anabolic, all you gotta do is track macros and bust ass in the gym and you will be 260 with an 8 pack. I'm lifetime natural and i am 245 at 6'2 with a 6pack and I eat fastfood sometimes twice a week, sometimes more. You people are brainwashed about steroids, thinking they arent as powerful as they really are.

I stopped watching when this dude said the most in shape guy from 300 would place dead last in a natural body building contest. Like, come on those dudes had great physiques. It's why they're all shirtless instead of wearing historically accurate chest plates for armour.

Yeah hes a proper wrongun

Buddy was asking why would he do it twice?

Its deadlift tho

Even at 15 reps that's an estimated 645 1rm. If people think this dude can DL 645 at this bw while "natty", I have beachfront property in Arizona to sell them

@@--SPQR-- At that many reps a 1RM calculator is going to be pretty inaccurate, so 645 is definitely not his 1RM. To his credit he looks built to deadlift and he's on the skinnier side, so 430 for a lot of reps may not be too much of an exaggeration. Especially if he focuses on the deadlift the most, as many skinny guys do, because it's the only lift they're naturally good at. Has California finally broken off, leaving a cool refreshing breeze rolling in over Arizona Bay?

"Sure, sure. Sure, sure, sure." lol :D

1rep calf are garbage I could barbell row 225 for 12, 235 for 6 and couldn’t move 275 They don’t work

Ayo ? 🤣

Glad I'm not the only one

430 for 20, just a specimen of a man

Mine are over 1100 at 48, all natural. I get a lot of sun, my diet is on point every single day, my micronutrient regimen is dialed in, lots of walking and lifting, good sleep, rarely drink alcohol, etc.

@@CameronDayDYT Is this even medically possible? 🤨

The fact that he said it increased 300 points in the past year due to things like being more calm and doing cold plunges is even more comical. I WISH!!!

​@@otgod6694bro said he gets lots of sunshine, of course 😂.

No shit Sherlock. Mike brought up the steroid question on another video and why it's acceptable to lie about it

This is not the "Sauna is the same as eating vegetables guy"?

I'm sure a lot of things that makes people say "Wtf is this trainer doing" may sometimes come down to the fact that these trainers are often dealing with super eccentric people and actors, who just think they know better, don't actually want to be told what to do, or just dont't wanna work hard at all in the gym (The Kardashian "workout" comes to mind) Also a bunch of actors who are ripped previously stated they have no desire for the sport or fun in it and only see it as a job/must. I'm sure that's a factor too

"Only"? Shot yourself in the foot when you used the term PEDs and not steroids. There's no way that a bunch of them haven't been on Clenbuterol.

Tell me your politics without telling me your politics. Lol!

Title of this one is also misleading. This guy is 1) on TRT 2) won't admit it 3) didn't say anything relevant about drugs in the industry.

Or "works with spec ops" 🤣

@@DarthNoshitam Haha, I have never seen this one, but I totally agree.

@@DarthNoshitam IE this one special forces candidate trained at my gym for some studio space once.

Don't forget, Marvel movies are marketed as being wholesome entertainment your kids can watch. No one wants their kids imitating their favourite actor by doing steroids. The studio stands a lot to lose by admitting it.

Quite interesting that someone can blatantly lie for that long?

Well assume you have a business doing that would you openly admit to I'm assuming breaking a law and getting the reputation for not being trusted by your clients, not saying your wrong

There's definitely a shit ton of people on gear, but I think you sarcastically brought up a good point that a lot of people don't consider. "Somehow all the Hollywood actors just magically have 98th percentile genetics"-doesn't that... kinda make sense that that would be true? Millions of people flock to Hollywood to try to make it big, and then Hollywood gets to winnow that down to the best of the best. Since they're selecting for good looks and fitness is a huge part of good looks, it follows that you're incidentally selecting for good fitness genes.

@@bryanlewis5233 except that most of these actors were selected before they had any physiques whatsoever. You can't select for a trait that's not observable. It'd be like trying to crossbreed roses for a particular color but none of them have ever flowered before.....so you can't know what color they are to even attempt to breed a new one. In the same way prettymuch all of the Hollywood fitness actors today did not look like anything when they became famous except the Rock. Hugh Jackman had a Dad-bod in the first X-men movies. Kumail Nanjiani in his older movie roles was a stereotypical nerd build that has never set foot in a gym. Et cetera and so on. They were all average to even below average before they suddenly blew up in almost no time at all.

Why would you shoot yourself in the foot in a reputation business? The amount of people shocked he didn't throw his clients under the bus when PEDs are a federally controlled substance

@@taylorhillard4868 Right, but you just mentioned the people that are 100% obviously geared to the gills. No argument from me there. But that doesn't mean the Hollywood system doesn't also naturally select for good genes. I'm absolutely not trying to cover up or deny that gear is RAMPANT in Hollywood, just trying to argue that maybe it's not so crazy to think famous celebs are in fact high percentile for genetic predisposition to fitness because they literally work in a field where people are selected for their desirable qualities like they're dogs being bred. Maybe we're talking past each other a bit. It seems like you're mostly talking about the Marvel types who are making these wildly unnatural transformations (and I totally agree that's 99.999% down to gear) whereas I'm talking a little more generally (and I'm not arguing the people you're mentioning are the ONLY people on gear either). Ultimately I think we're both on the same side that it's silly for normies to try to use Hollywood training as some sort of model to aspire to because it's not accounting for the other massive advantages these people have-certainly gear but also money, time, and (I'd argue) good genetics-that aren't being talked about in whatever random shit Men's Health is trying to get trending this week.

Right?! Most actors don't have Eugen Sandow genetics and if they did they'd look like that just walking around.
