The deadlift thing is not actually that impressive. Maybe for the average person but not for a serious, super experienced lifter.

He would be exposed as mediocre, lucky Mike was more focused on the topic of the celebrity training industry itself instead of actual training.

@@--SPQR-- At that many reps a 1RM calculator is going to be pretty inaccurate, so 645 is definitely not his 1RM. To his credit he looks built to deadlift and he's on the skinnier side, so 430 for a lot of reps may not be too much of an exaggeration. Especially if he focuses on the deadlift the most, as many skinny guys do, because it's the only lift they're naturally good at. Has California finally broken off, leaving a cool refreshing breeze rolling in over Arizona Bay?

He is right about the celebrity trainer thing in terms of how you become one. It's the same thing when a martial arts place claims they "train law enforcement". That is a cop came to your gym and purchased self defense lessons, so you technically trained law enforcement and you are free to advertise that.

Dr Mike love the content on your channel-one thing I’d love it if you could cover with a short episode-how do lifting mechanics differ based on lever size ie do certain exercises hit taller and shorter people differently? are taller athletes more subject to lifting injuries? I know you’re 7’8" but some of us shorter 6’6” lifters (yours truly) would love to hear your thoughts on the subject. Thanks for all the work you do (and for keeping it so entertaining)!

I once saw Hugh Jackman on a UK chat show where mentioned he hated getting fit for a role. I think he hinted that was the reason he was glad he wasn't doing XMen anymore. Its been a while for him but now he's on Deadpool 3. Possibly his last role that requires a jacked physique.

I'm sure a lot of things that makes people say "Wtf is this trainer doing" may sometimes come down to the fact that these trainers are often dealing with super eccentric people and actors, who just think they know better, don't actually want to be told what to do, or just dont't wanna work hard at all in the gym (The Kardashian "workout" comes to mind) Also a bunch of actors who are ripped previously stated they have no desire for the sport or fun in it and only see it as a job/must. I'm sure that's a factor too

I really appreciate the portion where he spoke about the obese clients with whom he is working for years to make a lasting progress. About a year ago, I was 450 lbs, after about 300 days I began to plateau at around 385 with just intermittent fasting, so I began powerlifting (because I enjoy it and I have the requisite equipment in my garage). I'm still around 385 but I am much stronger and my measurements are going down. It is frustrating to not see the weight loss but it helps to see and feel the strength increases. It's also nice to know that slow progress is still good progress. That really helps. Thank you.

Is this a viable form of cardio and how does it work with our strength training. Maybe you talked about it somewhere before. Thanks.
