Ultra buff Joe Rogan criticising normal buff Joe Rogan 😳😳

No way dr mike is finally critiquing himself

I once heard a sports scientist make a comment that if you could bottle the effects of proper sleep, it would be a banned substance.

Take it from a rock climber if you want to increase your grip strength. Dead hangs. 10 second hangs. Two minutes rest. 10 sets. 3 times a week. Use a pulley system To take off if it’s too hard or weight belt to add weight if it’s too easy. It builds insane forearm arm, strength and grip.

I wanna see Dana white, Joe Rogan, and Dr. Mike all in a room and everyone else try to figure out who’s who

My main focus is non-functional strength. Train hard enough and you can't do shit. I feel great

"the Turkish Get Up is like the parlor trick of lifting" is the most solid and on-point thing I've heard today

I was diagnosed with hypogonadism at 30 years old (my level was 165 ng/dl). Going on TRT was life changing. I can't even begin to explain how beneficial it has been.

Jamie, pull up that clip of a bear critiquing my exercise routine.

Joe takes Ayahuasca as pre workout. Multiversal entities train him in the gym. They promised him that he will be able to defeat a bear once his training is complete.

Your wrong on seed oils mate. Ive studied youtube videos for years.

I know you can overeat carbs, fats and even protein, but for me and it would seem many others it's a lot easier for me to regulate my intake of Rib Eye or potatoes than it is for me to regulate chocolate, sweets or soft drinks. I feel like sugar is the enemy for sure but it's psychological, I'm probably not going to overeat steak and eggs but I'll definitely overeat the crap out of some chocolate.

My 6yo saw the thumbnail for this vid and said, “can we watch old man wrestling?”

I get up all the time and I’m not even Turkish

Never did roids in my life been lifting since was 14. Wound up with ball cancer and lost my ball at 43 years old. Test levels went down under 100. I get 1 CC a week and now back to a normal / nice 800-850 after a year and feel like a new man. Wasn’t a bad trade off 😂

Bro… if you cite again bogus reviews of sugar and seed oils paid for by big food and big pharma money…. you will lose all respect. Did they pay you to say that shit?

I think this is the most simultaneously intense & calm person I've seen. Guy looks like he's about to explode at any moment or chill out with some tea at the same time.

I'd love to see Dr Mike doing a JRE podcast and then one of those videos destroying him at the gym.

Could you do David Goggins next? I always admire his drive and discipline (although extreme). But I always sees everything he did will do more harm than good.

lol, that was a super smooth ad transition

Best “functional strength” exercise I ever did was working unloading trailers at UPS.😂

The term "thumbnail" is really fitting in this case, because it looks like a before and after image of what happens to your thumb if you hit it with a hammer.

IDK man, I’m building muscle naturally at 41 and it just seems like most TRT proponents on the internet are just people who used steroids who want to make excuses for still using steroids.

Back when my sister did High School Basketball she and her team used to eat peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches before practice, specifically for a combination of both some protein, and a lot of carbohydrates and sugars for spontaneous energy burst. I don't like grape jelly. So I took this idea and replaced it with a peanutbutter and raw honey sandwich before my workouts instead. Works wonders. ^.^

Dr. Mike, I have one criticism and that is the Turkish get up is effective for training standing up while holding a squirming toddler. That's all. Continue, good sir.

Dr Mike - your channel is super entertaining and really good to learn from. I am not a body builder or athlete, but rather a 56 year old husband, father and soon-to-be grandfather who likes to work out frequently and eat healthy. Just to stay in shape. You have great info and the way you deliver the info is very entertaining :)

Would like to hear Dr. Mike’s review of Pavel Tsatsouline’s methods.

Ever notice everyone loves Rogan until he talks about something you actually know about...

This guy has a fitness channel, he commentates the UFC, and he runs a pawn shop in Las Vegas and you never know what is gonna come through that door.

I just love this Doctor's sincerity and his mode of talking

Burpes and dips for 30mins straight for the last 2yrs. Best i have ever looked.

Get Dr Mike on JRE asap!!

The minute he said he had weak forearms I knew it was a versagrip ad.

Thanks for the info Dr. Mike! Always enjoy your videos.

The positivity here is heartwarming. Thank you, everyone!

Cant understand why Mike hasnt been on JRE yet. He`d be a fantastic guest. Get on that shit Rogan!

I'm 53 and have been a kettlebell adherent for over a decade. I also mix in bodyweight exercises. For me the thing I like most about KB is the sheer amount of different exercises I have in my repertoire. I get bored with dumbells. I will say though that KBs do come up short in bicep and tricep exercises, so I use machines or free weights for that. I recently had a physical for work and the nurse asked me how I was so healthy. I assume she meant for my age. I credit good sleep, no drinking or smoking, no wheat or sugar, and a good kettlebell program. I think all that matters is that you get in the gym and do something. That works for most people. (Also I agree with Turkish get-ups. I do a modified partial get-up that seems to work for me.)

Very nice to see someone straight up saying it. Diet/lifestyle is a huge part of test levels. This is sometimes why you will see people in their 20s with bottom of the bucket levels and 80 year olds who are still hard as a rock. If you drain your body constantly and feed it garbage, your levels will suffer greatly.

Hell, the journey from simping over Versa Gripps to actually being sponsored by them makes the ad SO satisfying.

Can we get a sources page at the very end of the videos? As someone who is critical of every fitness video, having a sources page would be greatly beneficial

Dr Mike is often wrong, this is one of those times.

Kettlebell swings are great cardio exercise, maybe the best for me. You can dial them in weight and speed to be a great HIIT or a steady cardio that involves a lot of muscles.

I went on TRT on 39, had testicular cancer when I 25 so got one ball and actually needed it, it was a pretty noticable change but a way more noticable change was quitting alcohol, sleeping betterer, eating well and starting to train 4 months prior to going on it. Alcohol is fucking terrible for your mind, body and soul, quitting drinking should be tried before TRT

It’s eerie that I clicked on this video when I did. I was just thinking how I wanted to get my test levels checked because I had gained 30 pounds in the past year, eating like shit, drinking too much, and was getting uncontrollable panic attacks. Go in to the doctor’s with my BP at 167/112. He puts me on BP meds that make me feel like shit. I stopped taking them after a week, built my diet/ exercise program and kept it on point. 3 weeks later at my follow up, I’m down 17 pounds, BP is at 132/89, panic attacks are gone, and I am certain that I don’t need TRT.

Lol, Dr Mike: "kettlebells are pointless, dumbbells are better". Also Dr Mike "I don't know why, but I've got poor grip", May I suggest more kettlebell? :)

I've come across some studies that suggest there might be issues with seed oils, particularly concerning inflammation: 1. **Dietary Omega-6 Fatty Acid Intake Modulates Inflammatory Response to Physical Activity** (Journal of Nutrition, 2018) - This study found that higher omega-6 intake was linked to increased inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-alpha. 2. **Effects of Dietary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Cardiovascular Disease and Inflammatory Markers** (Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes, and Essential Fatty Acids, 2020) - Participants with high omega-6 intake had higher levels of inflammation compared to those on a Mediterranean diet rich in monounsaturated fats from olive oil. 3. **Dietary Fatty Acids and Inflammatory Disease: The Role of Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio** (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2019) - A high omega-6/omega-3 ratio was associated with increased inflammatory eicosanoids, exacerbating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. More on the story... Excessive sugar consumption is linked to numerous health issues, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lesser oral health, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cognitive impairment, and potentially certain for cancers. It can also contribute to mood disorders and addiction-like behaviors. Health organizations like (World Health Organization (WHO), American Heart Association (AHA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Dietary Guidelines for Americans, National Health Service (NHS) UK) recommend reducing added sugar intake to improve overall health and reduce these risks. These studies indicate that the balance of fatty acids in our diet is crucial and that excessive omega-6 intake will contribute to inflammation. Hence, seed oils aren't "just fine" get your facts right before you just try and justify your diet for body building where you need to consume excessive amounts of calories and are forced to ingest non healthy foods like sugary foods, fried foods, fast food, and bad oils just to match your daily caloric intake and then tell people it's okay.

Lmao at the Joey Diaz part....The funny thing is, if you know his background and hear some of his old stories, it's actually a miracle that he's still alive. He might be the king of longevity.

I'm glad Mike is addressing the "functional" strength stuff. People really like to shit on anything barebell or body building related despite those two things being really really good for size and strength.

i would love to see you talk to dr ben bikman or dr paul mason about sugar and seed oils

I just finished your video on 90's gym commercials, and now I see this 😂

I cut out sugar and seed oils and all the joint and scar tissue issues i have had for years were gone within 6 weeks. I Stuck to it for a couple years, I tried to add things back in a couple of times but when i started adding them back in again the issues all started again within a couple of weeks? Took them back out and they stopped again. I don't need a scientific study to tell me they are bad for you, my experience is all the the study i need.

"Don't Kill me when the revolution happens"🤣🤣

i’m always learning from your videos

4:16 The drug testing in Jiu Jitsu cannot be taken very seriously if our good Dr. is competing in it. 😁

Wait a minute, we don't have drug testing in JiuJitsu LUL

I don’t understand his position on seed oils. He should know that seed oils have an imbalance of omega 6, most of us are getting enough omega 6 from standard American diet and can lead to all sorts of health issues including inflammation. Also cooking with seed oils are way more prone to oxidation (I’m not 100% sure that this means an Increase in trans fats) however in many cooking conditions can lead to free radicals and other nasty things that lead to cell damage and inflammation as well. The use of olive oils is clearly shown health benefits. I’m not sure what he is seeing in pub med but the counter to this argument is pretty well acknowledged. I’m sure you can find studies on pub med that would agree with my statements above. If anyone knows different or if I’m wrong please share. Thank you.

There should be a talk about grass and fitness on your channel btw really informative what drMike says.

From one five foot three guy to another 😂

Dr. Mike reeeeally wants that Rogan guest spot so he's being super gentle.

I weight trained for pure bodybuilding purposes for about 15 years. As soon as I started concentrating on fitness and functional movement, my mind and physical condition improved to no end. If you want quality of life, flexibility, mobility and functionality, functional exercises are the way to go. What the hell is the point in being as big as possible? Screw that, I cba for it anymore. MOVE! Thats PURE movement! Life is about movement and health, not being as jacked as possible.

I’m not working out like I should and my schedule changes a lot but, Mike is definitely a regular spot when I have some time to watch whilst eating or whatever. Dude is hilarious. If I could afford to work with him in person I’d be there.

I think what JR actually means is the movements traditionally associated with kettlebells transfer better to athletic pursuits better than a bodybuilding focused routine. Explosive and leaning towards endurance due to rep count. As the man said, you can do all that with bars.

What I like about turkish getups are the awkward loading angles and combinations of joint stabilizations. However, as far as carryover effect, TGUs make you better at TGUs, and thats about it. It is a fun way to test your shoulder mobility and balance, and I like to use it for conditioning drills paired with swings.

I feel like the taking a stance against the “sugar is bad” comment was unnecessary, considering Rogan was most likely speaking about processed sugar. Which to my understanding is not good for you. I guess dose makes a large difference in this, but there are many foods especially in good old USofA that are just fckin sugar bombs, liquid and solid.

We need Dr Mike as guest on Joe's podcast

This mf said that’s why we drug test in JJ then said Gordon Ryan

Ahhh, makes my day, another perfectly intergrated, totally unexpected versa gripps ad 😊

I'm unreasonably happy RP finally got the Versa Grip sponsorship

That was one of the best ad reads ever heard in my life

You watch Dr Mike for genuinely the best fitness advice one could ask for, I watch Dr Mike for the absolute top tier smooth and seamless transitions into ads for the RP Hypertrophy App. We are not the same

That’s why we need a Dr. Mike. A shit ton of health gurus, doctors and other fitness influencers recommend TRT just because of age threshold

That is the best explanation of a Turkish Get Up

Turkish Get Ups are cool for a full body exertion with a weight that will challenge you but I'll not a replacement for everything else.

I am on TRT (my levels were at 93, so it was needed) and it helped me greatly. Mike forgot one important fact, if you start on TRT without needing it, your body will naturally stop producing it, so you will have to take it for the rest of your life.

When I go on strict no processed sugar diet, and get my sugar only from fruits and honey (sometimes maple syrup) I drop weight rapidly and feel way better and think sharper.

Dr. Mike, please critique the Ed Coan deadlift and back workout. Ya know, the one where he’s injured and still pulls 705 (before passing out) and then goes on to do rows, pull ups, and what I assume is an impromptu posing routing, followed by Q&A. Such a classic gem of old school powerlifting.

Just found your Chanel, recovering from a motorbike crash , tib fib and pcl . Went from training muaythai regularly to now only doing physio but also started doing more and learn about weights and machines and even though I'm not better yet the rest of my body is stronger than ever before. Your Chanel has so much good information and busting bull shit you hear on the internet ! Thank you !

Oxidized linoleic acid is indeed unhealthy and does cause inflammation. It's not necessarily seed oils themselves but it's the process around it, processing, high temp oxidation etc. The latest studies were just published on it.

I think that kettlebells are mainly nice because the way they load weight for certain motions and exercises. Dumbbells are totally useable and great, but certain movements the kettlebells feels a little bit easier to manage and get through a proper range of motion. For example, the Turkish get up. I did some variation of this for my injured shoulder maybe it's called a windmill, I can't remember, but it was similar in concept. Stabilize shoulder. While it's a minor gripe, it was slightly better with a kettlebell vs a dumbbell on my wrist, allowed me to keep it straighter, which is a nice advantage when we're talking healing an injury, every little thing could be a game changer.

As a seed oil avoiding tgu afficionado i approve of most of ths video

I think watching you and joe Rogan in a podcast would be a blast

Mike says, no problem with sugar and seed oils...trust me. He'll have to come to the argument with a little more data than that.

Joe Rogan is the kind of dude who will literally try ANYTHING if you claim it's gonna make you healthier

Great channel. You ever looked into the articulating your wrist in a bucket of rice for forearms?

Im 52 and do HRT for about 8 years. Get blood work done every 6 months. I also work have worked in trades for about 25 years and have weight trained most of my adult life. I notice the recovery times the most, its awesome.

Congrats on 2mil.subs 🎉👏

Barbells and dumbbells makes you stiff and slow, Cattle bells makes you explosive and functional. All Great Soviet wrestlers and athletes always trained with cattle bells.

Damn, you need to research gordon ryan a bit there, hes pretty primal to say the least.

Dr. Mike is very calm in this video. He is also not making fun of Joe Rogan like he do for other people. Dr. Mike don't want to loose his chance to get on JRE 😂😂

LOL, in the UK we're less squeamish about names and just call it "rapeseed oil" - you can but it in any supermarket. Fun fact: The name "rapeseed" comes from the Latin word "rapum", which means "turnip." Rapeseed is part of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes turnips, mustard, cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables. Ok, not that much fun. But still a fact :D

12:07 Carbohydrates can be simple or complex. Come on bra', you're a PhD in Sport Physiology! All joking aside, great work and awesome content! I first listened to you on the Modern Wisdom podcast and since I was listening during work hours...I was able to catch the episode twice that day. It was that good. Nice job and cool to see some sarcastic humour in this field. And yes, Canadian.

My cpap is my TRT. Shit changed my life.

Lots of research indicating the huge problems with frying foods in seed oils, due to their low oxidation point and high linoleic acid content which causes massive amounts of inflammation and an unbalancing in omega-6 fatty acids.

Bro this video is so instructional. Sick video

As an average Jill weight lifter I can say, for me, mastering the turkish getup was goal I achieved that I take pride in. It really did test my stability and strength and it took a long time for me to get there. I love them!

8 videos in and again I have learned more from this channel than my previous 55 years on this planet. Awesome.

In the first clip on Turkish get ups, Rogan was talking to Pavel Tsatsouline. It would be great to hear Mike's take on Pavel's training philosophy. This might not work with clips since he's not online much, but a review of his books, such as Enter the Kettlebell, Power to the People, and The Naked Warrior, could be insightful. In fact, a series of videos reviewing popular fitness books could be an excellent addition to the channel.

Dumbbells and barbell can have changeable weights. Cheaper to set up for home workouts.

Best diet I've ever had and best I've ever felt physically was during my Military Service in Poland. I did Kyokushin since I was 8y, I'm 41 now and still feeling great but food in the army in 2002-2004 was like designed for my best performance. Never felt low energy during my service.
