I thought 10k, Mike is always so carefull with his exercises I normaly dubble it, just to be sure!

​@Bradley Puppies just make sure to do it in the squat rack, then your quads get jacked by locality awareness

Bro wtf 😂😂😂😂

You should totally do that while taking up the squat rack at the gym. Fastest way to make friends.

@@tehphoebus i keep seeing a guy doing deadlifts on the squat rack and I wanna punch him

Yes! Also we have wraps and oils or whatever to sell you! - Dr. Mike

He also said „I gained a f**k load of fat“😂😂😂

I think I heard that if the swearing isn't in the first 30 sec of the video it doesn't get demonetized. Edit: Just checked and it seems to be true.... You can turn on ads for this content: Abbreviated, censored, or light profanity (like “hell” or “damn”) in the title, thumbnail, or video. Moderate profanity (like “shit” or “bitch”) used in the video. Infrequent usage of strong profanity (like the "f-word”) after the opening or up to twice in approx. the first 30 seconds of the video; or strong profanity in a music video.

Well done with all the hard work!

Not quite there yet but thats the path I'm on too.

Awesome. Is that because your building muscles to fill out the loose skin or do you think the skin is just getting tighter?

@@uzah88 its probably likely a mix of both

@@vondoom2876 Thank you.

He‘s one of the most competent personas in the scene for sure. I had to watch ONE video of him to see that. Every other video that followed in the past few years just completed it for me. So - although it seems a joke - its a bad one since it‘s too close to the truth man ;)

And if he wanted hair he would just grow it like a muscle.

"God prays to Dr. Mike." I don't know about that... Mike is jewish, but I don't think he considers himself to be THAT jewish.

nice try Mike's mom

Hey! Let's fight for him! 🧡

Maybe it is because it is more muscular as well.

This shit is why I always read the comments in Dr Mike’s videos….🤣

Going to look like Quagmire in family guy when he discovers Internet action lol

it’s ok i got the reference bro

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You forgot the 2222 push ups and 10000 Cals.

And your natty

Add that with a cup of celery and you get to 3% BF

So excellent to hear this! Gaining some muscle can really make like easier and more enjoyable just on its own without the aesthetic aspect. I am very happy for you.

Good luck on your journey ❤️

Moral of the story, don't eat 10,000 calories a day when you're pregnant

pregnancy is that good of mass gainer?!?! Im jealous, i wish i could gain that amount in such a small time, i could bulk up and have the most legendary cut

​@leviathan903 at least 20 to 30 of it is the baby, placenta, and extra blood volume. So in reality she put on about 45lbs or so.

Can you fix the grammar in your post? I’d like to be able follow more clearly

@@videogazer801 done!

He did one where he spoke some about older weightlifting strategies. I watched it a while back

If 175 has little definition and 165 is "really well" but hard to get to then split the difference and do 170.

Which RP video did you watch that gave you the idea to bulk that hard and/or that long? To me the message has generally been pretty clear: 8-16 week bulking cycles, gaining

Not only don't take it a gospel, it isn't supported by any serious research (and in fact doens't really happen). More so, that magical link between fasting and autophagy is something spectacularly blown up over how autophagy actually works.

I've been doing this for years. It doesn't work. Also, I don't know how they'll recruit people for this. Heavy weight training after days with 0 carbs and 0 protein is horrible.

I had almost the same experience. Decided to compete in physique class (1st show, I’m 63 and 6’ tall), got into a prep regimen, lost 20 lbs in 2 months (200 to 180), amped up my training intensity, etc. - then crashed. I’ve kept the weight off, used the lessons I learned during my aborted prep and have maintained my weight at 180. Feel fabulous and still have the muscular, lean look that I want. I have a bit of loose skin around my navel area which is kind of annoying but I get a lot of positive comments from 20-somethings at the gym so I’ll take the bit of loose skin with no complaints. Take care.

I've heard the fasting thing, too. Jason Fung claims that his patients rarely, if ever, have loose skin after losing weight by fasting. I can say from personal experience that loose skin from time-restricted eating is definitely still a thing, but maybe full-on long-term water fasting is different? His position was that the body will prioritize the extra skin to breakdown for protein before it starts chewing away at muscle tissue. No idea if there's actual proof to back that up, though.

@@greghill158 dry fasting is apparently what will take care of loose skin, not water fasting. "Hard" dry fasting is supposed to be even more effective than regular dry fasting. This is an unsafe practice though with no studies as far as I'm aware. Not something I'd expect any science based fitness KZfaqr to talk about, for good reason.

@@mohawk1623 I've never seen even the most ardent fasting fanatics recommend extended dry fasting since you'll die within a few days without any water at all. Certainly Dr. Fung doesn't recommend it and he made the claims about fasting fixing loose skin that I've seen. Maybe we're defining our terms differently? To me, water fast means no food at all, just water and maybe some salts and vitamins, and dry fast means no food or liquid at all.

@@greghill158Sorry, the fasting terms as I know them are: Water fasting - no food, only water with salts. Dry fasting - no food and no water by mouth. Hard dry fasting - no food, no water by mouth or even external contact. No brushing of teeth, no showers or baths, no washing of hands. I don't recommend either of the dry fasts for anyone, especially people trying to build muscle. Never thought I'd be discussing fasting on this channel lol

Yep. The low study number and high study heterogeneity leads me to avert tentatively concluding on collagen for the time being until further research is conducted. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30681787/ - Dr. Mike

Yes you notice women who take T develop a more male pattern fat distribution

Possible, but I'd need a whole lot more replicated, direct research to hang my hat on it, so to speak. - Dr. Mike

The fat in an area is liquefied... 😂

No, your body pulls fat as energy from all over your body regardless of body part worked You are completely missing steps from how the body burns fat Is it possible that doing bicep curls burns fat from the bicep area, I guess but also by same logic aren't you burning fat from your triceps, front delts and forearms too? So this logic doesn't really help the spot reduction claim, as in order to burn fat from your stomach you'd also be burning it from parts of your back and any other body part that is required by the particular ab exercise you are doing It just doesn't make sense logically to me regardless of the fact these studies haven't been reproduced and therefore the data is fairly low quality and doesn't mean much in my eyes

Just lose the weight to see how loose your skin will be. No matter how much loose skin you'll have, it wont matter because being leaner is healthier and should be the only thing that matter. Just expect the worse, you'd be happier that way.

Not sure on redistribution, but definitely helps to build some muscle. - Dr. Mike

You look great bro

@@CookiePire thanks bro, that comment literally made my day

Shredded to the bone

Great point. I'm wondering about how non-invasive it is. Check this out, entry on cryolipolysis is a scroll down: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_removal_procedures - Dr. Mike

I gotta be completely honest here: I'm not aware of any beneficial claims fasting advocates HAVEN'T MADE lol. But for real: possible, but let's get some more (any?) formal evidence first. - Dr. Mike

for what it's worth I lost 80 pounds eating one meal a day and over a year later there's still a ridiculous amount of loose skin.

​@@RenaissancePeriodization I'll add my n=1 as someone who undertakes extended fasts and also has significant loose skin from losing 50kg of fat. My loose skin is primarily on my abdominals and butt. I have not noticed any measurable reduction in loose skin after nearly a dozen extended fasts. If anything it makes the loose skin worse as extended fasts have dramatically reduced my waist size*. Given that I haven't noticed any increase in ab definition I hypothesize that extended fasts preferentially target visceral fat over subcutaneous fat. This may be due to dramatic changes in insulin sensitivity. While it doesn't reduce loose skin I have noticed that extended fasts do change my skin texture. Starting several days after breaking my fasts I notice my skin is unusually soft and smooth. My fasting protocol: - 4 times a year - 5-7 days duration - 0 sugar, 0 protein - 400cals / day comprised mostly of essential fats and fiber (to try to preserve gut biome) *I'm 6'2 and my waist is almost comically small for someone my size, despite the fact I have virtually no ab definition.

@@wingsofracism8882 they said extended, not intermittent. So 4-5 days every few months.

All true. But first and foremost, genetics.

he said it was complex and that its partly your choice and partly not.

I'm not familiar with the "t.r.n.g." program and google didn't bring up anything useful so can't help you.

@@jayw900 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p56RqaWDl7DSfYE.html

I lost 200LBs more or less fasting (600 calories/day for 9 months with no breaks or cheat days). Reasonable amount of loose skin, probably on the low end, but I'm only 27 and have decent genetics. Make of that what you will.

@@LunchThyme i was meaning fasting for 24h or more. But thanks for sharing your experience anyways.
