I'm sorry but we need a hypertrophy guide for every muscle group now including jaw and eyelid musculature. I finally want to be able to visibly flex my temporalis.

“Ravioli on your abdomen.” New life goal.

Only calves and glutes missing for the hypertrophy guide. Are you going to release them? This series is awesome!

The hypertrophy guides are pure gold,. Thank you!!

I could’ve used this 3 years ago. Holy shit man, I appreciate it Mike. Hypertrophic work was actually what got my abs to grow not the cavaliere high rep stuff. (No hate but I do have a chip on my shoulder over his programs.)

the proper saying Dr. Mike is "thick, solid, tight" lol

This guy just knows too much. Thank you Dr. Mike!

Hypertrophy guide : Shoulder Hair Sets of exogenous testosterone 3 reps a week

Forearm guide?

Where have you been all my life? I absolutely love your channel.

Transverse abdominus for the win. Not easy to hit that girdle muscle. But vital as we age.

Neck Hypertrophy guide

Ifbb pro’s have huge abs, how do they do it? 1. Eat clen 2. Tren hard

Big fan from Brazil, doctor Mike! Props for this great system!!

I like this guy. Seems very approachable and nice guy. Great info and great delivery. Had to sub for more 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼💯💯 Nice one Doc

Filling my notebook up with all three lessons man. Great info. Pace. Explanations

Hey Dr. Mike, pretty sure you don't need to hear this but just in case, you are fucking huge my dude, learned a lot from your videos, a true inspiration. I hope you reach your goals and find continual success, much love bro.

"they have huge abs, biggest abs in the world!" accidental Trump right there

I can't believe iam this early. Great video series you got there, congratulations from India.

This guy trains hard and blinks hard!

Mike you're such a G. thanks

Big popping and JUICY

Really appreciate the info Dr Isratel.

Mike looking like a thumb again, LMAO

It's very hard to find videos like that on internet, Awesome

I personally cant do squats or deadlifts due to legit health issues, (i have a bone tumor on my pelvis, and herniated discs) and i know everyone says abs become visible from diet and reaching a low bodyfat percentage. But i'm just not buying that you don't need to directly work abs, I think its good you offer some progressive overload/hypertrophy exercises for them, a lot of people wanna grow their chest, shoulders, quads, and biceps, and do exercises to isolate these muscles, idk why the common consensus is that isolation exercise has no use for something like the ABS. i've come across so many youtubers proclaiming they don't need to be worked, and while i agree if you're on a powerlifting compound lift routine, you don't really need to focus the abs cause of the isometric contraction, there has to be some exercises designed to progressive overload them simply as an isolation movement. Unfortunately i've heard very bad things about weighted seated machine crunches for the spine.... I've also had problems with leg raises in the past on my spine. The abs are a tricky one for me because i work my back, chest, and legs, every week but my core just kind of gets ignored. I'm also very tall so i think there's a ton of torque on my joints from doing ab exercises. I really would like to see them pop out and grow like my chest, shoulders, back, and legs has. very difficult to do.

I will watch this again to put it in my program Thanks Dr. Mike!!!

Thank you! I needed this. Although I don't really have access to a nearby gym with machines for ab work. They all seem to stock up on machines for everything except abs. Probably because everyone goes for the high rep stuff like crunches or planks just like in the video.

I was so confused about what candlesticks were so went and looked them up. I like when they're called Dragon flags instead. Lll

brb obtaining a super blocky waist by applying these principles to my obliques

Forearms

Forearm's next please..i do judo..want to max my grip strength..tips are appreciated in comments 🙏

Thank you, I appreciate all the free content!

What about the AB Roller if done with strict form?!

Definitely need to try machine crunches, cable crunches with half my body weight or more(or even less) get kinda unstable and grip, as well as space for the arms can be an issue

"I like ravioli in my abs more than I like ravioli in my stomatch" You, probably

Amazing quality, subscribed!

The problem in the fitness i dustry is that everbody wants to watch some stupid athlean x , v shred and tik tok bullshit and nobody watches dr Mike. No but seriously i learned more about fitness in a week of watching dr Mikes videos than i learned last year

Im surprised Dr. Mike didn't mention breathing, for me the exercises become more challenging and engaged when exhaling and contracting in any of the abdominal exercises.

It's crazy how much bigger Mike's gotten in the past few years

Loving these videos!

Holy shit its vintage Dr. Mike

We need a shoulder hair hypertrophy guide. Quit holding out Izratel

Would you recommend for beginners to train abs or just focus on getting the main muscle groups like back,chest,quads,hams and shoulders strong and big?

Maybe a serratus anterior/intercostals guide? Not sure if it's worth making a video on lol

been waiting for this one

Thank you so much!!

damn doc that upper chest is POPPIN, no clavicle action going on

Mike needs his own channel

I'm speaking of all of us watching this video, please do calves next

Rectal hypertrophy guide

So what is left calves and glutes?

Is squats and deadlifts not for the abdominal wall rather than the actual"6pack"?

Best. Serie. Ever.

Dude you rock.

what about weighted planks?

Been a long time coming lol

pls post the glutes next. aka I need help (not) programming deadlifts

I've been waiting for this awesome video but everytime I do ab work I get cramps like crazy. Does anyone know how to avoid these crazy cramps? (I also eat enough potassium)

Funky Pigeon? I'm so gonna steal that.

Great video

As others have said, looking forward to calves.

Masterful.

Thanks for the awesome content as always. Tell Chad I say hi

The russian bear has spoken

✅ Fantastic comment about the ROM on knee raises and people "phoning in" their ab work. I'm off to hit my MEV on abs!

Man yoy just look like dr mike drom resistance traning 😮

I love these so much Dr muscle father

Add nine inches to my abs now, thanks.

can you do a video for forearms please

You just ruined your chance to say ravioli on your abdominoly

Adductors missing

Is it ok for hypertrophy to train abs every day, one exercise, 3 sets of 10-20 reps?

Lift and do heavy back workout for bigger forearms

Please do a hypertrophy guide for calves, forearms and traps

Strongest doctor ever I swear 😂

Best of the best

Anything about forearm? Please? My grip is forever weak and I can never do pull workouts without using straps

Hey Dr. Mike, Can you make a video on how to do progressive overload? Or do you guys JTS already have a video on that?

Yeah...I'll train these after calves and cardio

Why modified candlesticks and not real candlesticks?

One arm dumbbell presses work abs pretty good. Really any kind of imbalanced exercise where the abs have to make up the difference to bring balance back.

Hairy muscle daddy!

Ok, Im doing 3 sets a day for 5 days, 30 sec plank, 100 side bends and 100 broom handle twists... is this too much?

volume numbers applied for natty lifters same as juicy lifters?

Can you build up your abs for 4-5 months and then Just maintan them by heavy coumpunds?

So, should I not be doing 8 sets of 25 on the ab crunch machine every night? 😬

Dude you make me laugh 😂

But why can I do 250 on the cinch machine for 15 reps. I’m decently big. I work out with the 100s on bench but like I feel like my abs are abnormally strong

Not a fan of cable crunches?

I am not sure if this guy thinks i am a moron or is he genuinely really nice person :D

What about vacuum training?

Do you think for powerlifting planks would be a better idea then let's say a machine crunch?

What is about lower back?

Approaching my deload week after a moderate meso progressing with MEV. Should I reduce weight and keep sets? or reduce sets and keep top weights?

deadlift please

and juicy?

What about the ab wheel?

cool ✨👍🏽✨

I came here for the first 3 mins and to see if he talked about obliques, especially about how much truth is there on the purely genetic theory
