stop leeching from ufc fighters ur shameless

Your thoughts on Lazar Novovic

Thanks for that perspective. That label gets thrown around a little too much; some peeps work hard and grow and deserve props. Love the channel, I'm pushing it on my son and his friends. Peace

Its a viking press I think

All right doctor mike i get it, you inspired me to workout even though my lower back hurt. Haveing imaginary friends like you just sucks, but thanks inspirational speaker doctor mike.

Definitely 😂

Common mistake in imitation

Yup. :D

Sounded more like Paddy😂

@@kurasaki81 nah, it sounded scottish

As someone from the Colonies, British/Irish accents sometimes seem so hilariously specific. "You sound like someone who was born in Birmingham to parents from Brixton, moved to Bath at the age of 5, went to uni in Belfast, and who now lives in Bristol. I can tell by the way you pronounce potato, crumpet, boot, and dirigible."

@@matthewcreelman1347 they are unbelievably specific 😂 even within regions some of the accents are vastly different.

Well he has a Scottish surname, lol.

It's true. They are that specific. Conor has a Drimnagh, Dublin, Accent.

To be fair - when he said 'states mate' he did the right accent

I do believe it. I'm obviously not an expert but does it also make your chin go wide like gigachad?

@@ltmcolen1000%

I would because i did the same after i stood competing in wrestling a started weight training people think that I'm on geer because of the muscles i gained it's actually hilarious 😂

thats why i take a minimalistic approach to my mma training. a couple well timed and structured training seshes a week where for one i spar and the other i work on weak points specifically. its about quality over quantity; i only train like 2-3 hours a week and i count it as my cardio. for some reason most martial arts classes think the best way to get good is to do it till you drop as oppose to being methodical and calculated. weight training has improved my power and speed like crazy, and i still hear people saying dumb ass shiz like "weight training will make you slow bro".

I trained muay thai for just over 2 years 5 days a week until I was dead everyday. I couldn't gain weight no matter how much I ate. The cardio and training is way too intense for muscle building.

💯 I submit Dave MacLeod as the guy to review. Besides, he hardly has to change the accent from this video. It'll be a smooth transition.

He was small AF before. Hopped on gear and gained like 10 lbs of muscle. So fucking what

@@erikberry6408 Ummm…… has a PHD in this field of study? Do you think “exercise science of this caliber” means “I took roids so I know things?” Lmao what are you yapping about small fry

He only uses big names in the headline for clicks to sell as space

For sure. People will think Magnus but Adam Ondra has some of the strangest training I have ever seen.

He has a long video on BJJ training, look it up.

Bodedos sound pretty good tbh

probably depends what the goal is, I think it helps endurance more than strength but that's typically the goal rather than increasing top end strength.

@@BigBADSTUFF69 absolutely. Circuit/HIIT is great for improving metabolic fitness and the anaerobic energy systems. High levels are required for comp and often a goal. I think, and it's just an opinion, that non-periodized training (which statistically is common) in trained athletes (have been doing this for a year+), and who are commonly in a caloric deficit, the only noticeable (not technical) advancements will be to anaerobic fitness; not strength. It can be argued that power improves, but in trained athletes that is unlikely as many circuits will vary and progressive overload may possibly be non-existent. That's what I've seen in the research and with limited work with ammy and pro MMA athletes at local gyms. Some of them have bought in so we'll see if the changes I've implemented yield noticeable results over the next year. For most of them, circuits are limited (if at all) and traditional training techniques are being used (similar to what Dr. Mike said; split physical and technical training).

Circuit training is for endurance under load. It definitely helps me.

Guessing circuits could benefit the fact you constantly switch muscles, like in a fight you would be switching muscle groups for every movement without being able to rest

If you actually participated in these sports you would know how untrue that is. Conditioning is paramount and mental toughness as well. This type of training is suboptimal for pure power development yes but in fight sports you are always being pushed to the limit Conditioning wise so its important to train exactly the way he is training. All serious fighters train this way as a part of their training. Your basically saying they are all idiots smh.

How good was that video, unreal from Mike

Congratulations solider.

Started that program a few weeks ago. Enjoying it.

I'm on my first deload week in the Thor program. I'm loving it so far but I had to add some sets for my stage. I think I will do 3 cycles before I have to put a real leg day back into the rotation.

Nice work. "Stay Strong, Chase Excellence Brothers." - Godspeed

I'd note though, that Conor is known for gassing out in his fights, so for him specifically the emphasis might be more on stamina/endurance across the board.

Definitely, i was wondering optimal strenght training for combat athletes for a long time and just couldnt find any reliable information

I`m still looking for an example of strength training routine that works in favor for combat sports athletes

He may be on gear (because why wouldn’t he be), but he’s always been small and still isn’t that big. I don’t understand all these people assuming he’s on gear just because he bulked a little. He has elite genetics and he’s probably still smaller than most natties watching this channel.

@@flabio7074 yea definitely top tier genetics too, I agree the size increase shouldn't just instantly be said it's because of gear. But Joe Rogan should know that that guy was probably already on gear anyway. Just a foolish statement from him in general

​@@augustinasvilkasRogan also insists that it's common knowledge that you need at least 1.7g of protein per lb of weight every day to get bigger so maybe he just has no idea what he's talking about ever

​@@greyXstar1.7/pound wtf even .8/pound is more then enough. He probably meant per kg

0.8 is definitely NOT more than enough. Thats around the minimum range for growth. Why would you want to do the minimum when growing? You hit the higher end if not even more than that because that guarantees that you are getting the protein you need for growth. Doing less than that doesnt guarantee optimal intake. You might be getting enough, but you also might not. Always better to error on the surplus side when it comes to protein intake.@@cuteminired6550

Yeah so basically circuit training are total BS, there is some gains to it such overall conditioning and muscular endurance, I think!

@@KnuffelBear No basically circuit training are not total bs. And you even contradicted your statement by telling the benefits lol. His argument was a strawman and he supposed Conor was training for power through circuit training and used thast as an example of: why not train power separately for optimal benefits. Doesnt he know about power endurance and strength endurance? Training those is exactly why circuit training is so useful. You do explosive movements with a little rest time and that's what happens during competition also. Doing just cardio like running on a treadmill wont increase, Im prettu sure atleast, your upper body power/strength endurance. Point is to simulate what happens during matches. If you purely train power and running well ok but what does that tell us about your upper body endurance. You might gas out after few explosive movements.

@@TheJimLahey its was sarcasm, idiot, Im not fan of circuit training but I believe there is def. benefits to it. obviously it might not be the best for solely power training...

​@TheJimLahey Exactly! You gotta train sport specific.

@@TheJimLaheywell said

Yes, yes it is.

Dude, you came to witness Dr. Mike talk shit about other people's training.

be just a bit patience...the humor is part of his program

slap on a wig and have him be caits stunt double 🤣

How can you be trapped if it's open?

​@@espenstoroThis is a powerful dad joke. Your children are in safe hands.

It’s called an escape bar

Rippetoe will throw it in the garbage

overhead pressing trap bars is weird. Just use a neutral grip bar if you must.

Haha😂😂

ayoo

Everything reminds him of her...

yeah except their new drug testing partner is even more strict than USADA. The UFC fired USADA for 2 reasons. The first was their complain that USADA was showing up to fighters homes at 5am on fight days which is pretty shitty. The 2nd one is that USADA was mad about the contract negotiations between them and the UFC so they let it slip out that the UFC was planning on removing them. Dana caught wind of this and granted them their wish.

It's pretty obvious from the facial changes. His jaw is alot bigger and face looks alot more bloated. Surprised Mike didn't pick up on that.

When you've been on the sauce as long as Dr Mike these things just seem normal

@@dannytqhe’s gone that unmistakable leathery juice look, and the bridge of the nose widens for the caveman/macho man Randy savage aesthetic

@@dannytqwhat type of drug causes that? HGH?

I think if not for the face growth it would be natural growrh​@@dannytq

It’s more just the commitment to mobility and fluid movement, than the retarded shit Ido had him doing

Not mike's wheelhouse?

Conor fell off when he dropped the movement training from being his main focus from a training point of view

That nonsense has been debunked many, many times over. It is some Joel Seidman fluff. Just stretch and do full ROM movements, footwork drills for the rest.

@@Ryan-Horgan No Conor's fall came from a lack of focus on combat sports training and competition, greater focus on other aspects of his life such as business, and greater focus on detrimental (in regards to sports at least) aspects of his life such as partying, excessive alcohol intake and likely substance abuse. Conor was a very skilled martial artist far before he incorporated Ido's help and training, and it may have even been a detriment to him when he fought Diaz the first time. Leading up to that fight he was doing lots of upper body gymnastics training with Ido rather than martial arts specific training. After that fight he said he'd overworked himself with that type of training during fight week.

Its some proper bodybuilding bullshit 😂😂😂 Just does everything for 4x20, doesn’t train legs and does 3x the volume on biceps than any other body part. You can get away with seriously dumb shit when you’re a genetic freak.

and he’d well be consider well into advanced level with how his body composition was with many years of mixed training before the leg break. You’re lucky to get 2.5 lbs of muscle in a year when advanced. 30 lbs in 2 years naturally would make sense if he started from a McLovin base-could happen in a year if really locked in-but 30 lbs after having been a ripped experienced athlete for so many years is bull-shit.

I don't think that's how it works. You don't just magically become "advanced" just because you've been in the gym. Dudes who skip leg day while building upper body will get newbie gains on squats when they incorporate them in.

@@chayneznfayme yes and no, if his weight gain of 30 lbs was from a weigh in from having cutting weight for a fight and then 2 years later after the leg injury that was his weight without cutting that would make sense of 30 lbs. Getting 15-25 lbs in a year as a brand new lifter is the average, and if you're someone with a McLovin skin and bones frame getting 30 lbs in a year is not unrealistic if they really locked in training and nutrition. McGregor has been an athlete for YEARS, and wasn't a lanky skeleton prior to the 30 lbs he gained, so it seems more likely to be from some pharmaceutical assistance than natural.

That's not the reason he'd be juicy, the fact that he's a top tier athlete is enough. Reminder you can look like Paulo Costa and not pop under USADA and currently whatever they are using

Be like water.

Not based

Uh, plenty of people here talk like that mate. Maybe you just dont interact with anyone with a working class background.

@@EVO6- I know plentyyyy of people from all around Dublin. And of course some people sound like this, but damn he plays it up a lot

Pretty standard dub accent , Conor's accent doesn't strike me as, unusual for a dub.

American "Irish"?

😂😅😂

If he's on gear then Tren wouldn't be it I think. Who the f does tren except body builders anyway?

​@@b.benjamineriksson6030 armwrestlers

@@b.benjamineriksson6030 pretty sure hgh is the bees knees in combat sports cuz bone density or something.

Its not crazy any normal person that can be disciplined for two years of weight training will see similar change. And eating in a caloric surplus. And don’t forget cardio because you don’t want to be fat.

Would be hilarious if the entire video was censored and his narration was very vague and suggestive

I had to scroll down a long way to find this comment.

@@CMCMTTTV didn’t know that, thanks for the info

Geographically speaking, Ireland is part of the North Atlantic Archipelago and not part of the British Isles.

@@cuchulainn7984 It is part of the British isles simply google it but sometimes this is referred to as a North Atlantic archipelago

@@cuchulainn7984 it is part of British isles geographically one google will show that they are the same thing just different names

Dr Mike would tear that guy apart- his workouts are ridiculous, in a bad way

I think Dr. Mike's approach still applies here. If you want to improve your power and endurance, you can use sport specific drills separated from your weight training. I.e. rounds of strikes and combinations with 90%+ power.

​@@jasonmack2718clearly he's never trained MMA. Lol you don't just do circuits. We would always do a warm up. Circuit for an hour with breaks. And then hit bags/pads for a good hour or two. Then finish with like 10-15mins of explosive body movements all in one session.

​@@evictioncarpentry2628 I think he trains BJJ. But yeah, I don't think he trains MMA.

​@jasonmack2718 the thing you guys don't understand is that strength & power are not that important when compared to conditioning and fitness in the lower weight classes. You don't see most guys lifting heavy weights all the time unless they are on gear.

The irish government doesn't recognise that term though so it's use would still be controversial in Ireland

@@Grumbo91 Yeah well they'll do fuckin' nuttin'.

Kosovo is Ireland

Ummm… *Snores* actually 🤓☝️

Momentum is very important, but so is impulse, pressure, torque, physiological weak points of the head/body, and opponents eye status.

And now he's the best athlete I've ever seen in longevity

@ckpalmeiras1318 Just google it professor.

To be fair, Ireland is part of the British isles, if he’d said Britain that would be a different story.

@@scottf75 Agreed. Geographically and historically spot on. However, culturally, Ireland sees itself as very much not.
