These hypertrophy videos are a lot better than any typical bodybuilder videos. Please do them for the rest of the body.

“You are going to want to hit the back from at least 2 angles” - Dr. Mike Israetel

Usually I speed up the videos to like 1.5 but with these videos I find myself going back again and again. Man is dropping jewels.

This is the best series of videos I've seen on how to develop a program with volume considerations. Its explained very well. Ive been weight lifting for 27 years and its great to still learn better ways to train.

Dang...I'm obsessed....this is my new favorite channel. You're an awesome coach... thanks for providing so much info.

Don’t understand how a video like this can have any dislikes. So much valuable info in here. Thanks Mike!

The fact that Mike had to point out that the last part was a joke is hilarious. He is the king of sarcasm!

dr mike is like the jesus of lifting¡¡¡ your word is law men..following your advices.. not just me but the people that i train have improved a lot¡.. guys this is too good to be free..thanks so much for all you guys do at juggernaut.. :)

3:30-4:00 So important. That’s all you need for a program right there.

God I wish this series was around when I started lifting. Best breakdown of work needed to grow I've listened to. Really easy to follow and helpful for creating your own programming.

Heavy high rack pulls, heavy cheat rows, weighted pullups, unilateral variations (Meadows row, dumbbell row), occasional cable vertical pull (such as neutral grip lat pull). If you do each of these types of movements once per week you'll get all the stimulus you need to continually grow (that is, if you're intermediate or advanced; beginners should stick with a simpler setup with linear periodization). I split volume & intensity into separate days as well as upper & lower, so it's 4 days a week overall. Examples of my back work: Intensity upper - include heavy cheat rows and weighted pullups Intensity lower - include high rack pull after deadlifts Volume upper - include unilateral variations and cable assistance work, but most weeks do a barbell rowing movement at least Volume lower - back is hit as a stabilizing muscle group (when performing any of the lower body exercises I include) That's 3+ days a week of back work and when overall volume is managed and exercises rotated, you can make continued progress without plateaus. If you're a natural lifter, you have to focus on continually getting stronger to get back development. Bodybuilding style pump work has shown little effect in my experience. I did that shit for years and saw hardly any results. I just didn't realize how strong and resistant the back is relative to other body parts when it comes to growth (for those not in the genetic elite). If you have access, might I add that any strongman movement is great for back development (unconventional pulls, log clean and press, keg carries, farmer's walk, etc.). I'm at a commercial gym but I'd love to someday train with these implements.

This series is a gem

Seriously though, this channel rocks! Real shit, good shit, fucking working for me like crazy, getting serious gains! Thanks for being here and giving us your knowledge!

Really can't believe all this good information is getting uploaded free to youtube, thanks guys!

I feel like dr. Mike and Lee priest would get along really well when it comes to form and training!

This is so thorough, concise, and intuitively organized. Very helpful, thanks a lot!

so glad i found this channel these guys know their science and have a ton of useful knowledge. keep up the great work!

Please do Legs next. Thank you.

Woah. I'm blown away by the quality of info in these hypertrophy guide episodes. Thanks!

I usually do 8 hr arm workouts,I'm I doing to much?

It's a baby Dr Mike!

Brofessor Mike yet another superb video your info is spot on I have followed all your hypertrophy videos and they have more than paid off I'm 41yrs old and your knowledge has gotten me so much gains I'm as big and strong as any 20 something year old if not bigger and stronger thanks to Dr Brofessor Mike again I can't thank you enough everybody out there listen to the man he knows what he's talking about thank you Dr Mike much love and respect

Great stuff Dr. Mike! Can't wait to see more training methods and ideas on how to train smart and continuously make growth. ty :)

Shoulders Hypertrophy Guide?

I love these videos. Mike is clearly an intelligent and learned human. It makes it easy to have faith in what he says.

best series for my programme ever

Very good guide for beginners! Simple and basic stuff which has been helping athletes over the decades to get gains. There is too much bullshit online thanks for posting real and informative video.

This man is so generous 🙌🏼

This was very helpful ! I’m going to apply these ideas to my programs !

Haven't watched a fitness video that told me something new in a while, thanks dude.

Awesome vid... looking forward to future Hypertrophy Guides to all the body parts! Also a video on a hypertrophy split that is better than the 'bro split'. Fantastic video

been doing upwards of 50 sets of back a week for over a year, at this point my back always feels fresh going into a training session and it’s by far my most developed muscle group

Cant wait for the rest of this series!

Hope a hypertrophy guide comes out for triceps soon, since my biceps have blown up thanks to the bicep hypertrophy article.

I can’t believe this shit is free

Rows for hos! :D

Monday = 3/4 sets of chin after chest ; tuesday = 3/4 set of bbell row after legs ; friday = full back session with chin deadlift dumbell row

I’ve always felt deadlifts works better for me on Leg day... great video

Great video Mike. Always following your stuff

Where are the other parts? Articles are great, but videos are even better. You seem to stop at this episode :(

Please do glutes and legs! Not only for women but for men also!

awesome ! thanks a lot mike ! been havin awesome results programming that way

omg i want that latpulldown machine plate loading instead of weight stacks with the weirdest weight jumps

brilliant. cant wait for next one. thank you Dr :)

Grade A knowledge and production guys. Good work!

As always great clear and concise information from Dr Mike

Amazing work you guys!

Thanks so much for your insight..I never know what is working for back.

quick question... why should you not train always at your MAV (assuming you know it)? why do you need to slowly increase sets? Can you not always do the same amount of sets and THEN slowly go up in weight for those sets every week?

this Channel it the shit !🔥 so much great information presented by a man who knows what he's talking about. just awesome. keep up the great work ✌

Does he mean the whole back with the lat and traps or only the lat muscle?

Leg and glute guides would be sweeet

Yeeesss, I was waiting for this one!! Thanks!!!

Amazing work as always Mike! Thanks to everyone at JTS

Absolutely awesome video!

Excellent guidelines. Thx

This video is gold👍😀

Great video thank you!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great video Mike

Thanks for the evidence based guide doc!

Not many people speak about frequency which is important for us beginners

love this guy. he seems so nice

So useful information really thank you.💖💖

i tend to get confused pretty easily and these videos have helped me a lot ,but i have a question, can you do strenght and endurance videos in the same way for all the muscles so i can develop a good periodizated program? I´d really appreciate it Doctor.

Please do biceps and other parts of the shoulder please next

That's way too much work! What are you using very ought weights?

6 years later still going strong

Great vid, However do these figures apply to the entire back or would it be separate for lats, upper back ?

thank you for this 👍💪

simply the best of the best !

you already have plenty of wonderful book on strentgh training from juggernaut and RP at juggernaut , will you also make books on the hypertrophy subject in the future ?

Love these videos

Finally a mike video where he talks slow, so I can watch it in 1.75

love these videos

Great video. UncIear on a two things: Does rear DeIts factor into this? and Iower back/Iumbar? Just asking as video and exampIes given seemed very Iat focused

Great stuff!

this was a great video

Awesome content! Can we have Delts next please?!

Thank you Dr you're amazing. However, I would like to say me how should be during a mesocicle??
