@b-sideplank 4 ай бұрын

Gaining 10 pounds of muscle mass requires an approximate caloric surplus of 35,000 to 40,000 calories, given that 1 pound of muscle is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories. In a 2-hour period (length of the video), this would mean an energy expenditure of around 20,000 calories per hour, 40k cal in total. If you weigh 70kg, you'll have to do 200 hours of continuous, intense pushups to reach a total energy expenditure of 40,000 calories.

@Jonathan-uo6ui 4 ай бұрын

The thing Dr. Mike did excellent here, even better than in their own channel, is adding nuance to everything. He made sure to specify which things are the fundamentals/major building blocks. And that the other things are also important, but in the grand scheme of things they are minute details. This is a crucial aspect missing in much of the fitness content, the explanation of how much difference a variable makes (ideally in percentages) for hypertrophy. And that’s a bad thing because, the explanation of how much difference a variable makes provides beginners with a clear overview of where to focus their efforts initially and what to perfect later, avoiding overwhelm. To put it simply, imagine studying for an exam where 90% of the questions come from chapter 1 and only 10% from chapter 2. Naturally, you’d make sure to spend all the time needed mastering chapter 1. And then after, if you still have time left, you spend the remaining time studying chapter 2. Without this information, you might divide your time equally between both chapters, which would be a mistake if you knew the importance of each chapter’s content.

This was ridiculously good and informative. Now that I'm 62 years old, I've had to dial back on the total number of sets per week, and can't go real heavy; I keep my reps to15 for my warmup, then a weight that lets me rep out around 10-12 reps about 2 reps from failure, then add weight and try for 3-4 more sets at 8-10 reps, 6-8 reps, then whatever I can pump out for the final set to failure (usually 4-6 reps.) At this age, injury avoidance is the absolute number one goal; if I'm injured, it takes a LOT longer to recover, so controlled, smooth reps, with fairly slow eccentric motions to finish. This was an really great, science and evidence based conversation, this is one of your best.

Mike has been the first “influencer” since beginning my training 6 years ago who has had such a drastic and dreadful impact on my training routine. His work is so awesome and I’m happy we have access to the knowledge explained in an understandable and interesting way.

One of the smartest and most helpful fitness content creator out there. Changing the game, as Chris pointed out. Thank you Dr. Mike

Dr Mike is such a great guest. He educated us on how to gain muscle and simultaneously gave Chis a 2-hour ab workout.

The distance Dr. Mike takes his innuendos is absolutely monumental. He makes Chris laugh like a little kid.

Though still worth watching some of his other playlists especially for diet. Goes into so much depth on bulking vs cutting vs maintenance, mini-cuts, etc. Not just macros but how quickly and how long to do phases, how to order the phases. Found those videos super helpful.
