I prefer ice cream, Mousses are too sweet for me

i want all of them

You could use some bro

I wanna build musk-skulls

Mussels are for fish 🐠 only meat builds meat 🥩 💪🏻

Nice

No, YOU’RE a great video 😡

Alooooon

@AlanThrall while you're on your current bodybuilding journey, I think it'd be so cool for you to experience a workout with Dr. Mike, if that's something you can arrange. Would be great content for both your channels and a good learning experience.

Jason blaha is coming for you mr thrall. You’re in ay-lot of trouble. Non negotiable.

He has severe autism

i rate as the best tbh

@@GuaridoNutri Dom Mazzetti is funny 100% of the time, Dr Mike is funny 98% of the time, because he has to be serious at times, to teach us

@@drip369I think the seriousness is what makes him funny. A hypertrophy related tangent turns into how many Lamborghinis he’s sunk in the river. The other guy isn’t as funny to me because he’s always playing the character and there’s no contrast. To each their own of course!

@@tragiceso5121 EXACTLY!

True evidence he knows it so well that he can condense and simplify it to his audience/ us mere mortals

This ain't rocket science folks

i wish i could spend a week with mike in the bedroom

I wish I could spend a week with Dr Mike in Olive Garden's bathroom...

Why? He’s terrible

Working out, right? RIGHT?

Those 99 problems are all Lamborghini-related 🤣

@@94EyeEagle those are problems not for Mike, but problems for his numerous butlers

You don’t just add weight or do more reps, progression is evidence of growth not the cause. Saying get stronger is literally no different than saying get 18 inch arms

There's also the individual factor. You are still you and unique genetic material. In the end, you can't escape your own experience and your own knowledge of your body. There's no "cheating" or "techniquing" your way out of doing the time in the gym, year after year. I'm still learning shit after 12 years of lifting.

@@1nfty- Yes an individuals uniqueness is yet another puzzle piece. Even when you think you totally know your own body, you get curveballs. Your body may be fighting off a cold, yet you aren't feeling it, but your recovery from the last workout is slower because of it.

Yea, they’ve both made this video before. (Watches intently)

I mean, they clearly have a gym, so it can't be that bad.

Yup. Think he made a speaking error there

10 Reps in reserve? thats effortless

You just start where is your current rir 3 for the choosen weight and rep-range. Should be higher than last first week meso? yeah it should .. but every meso you start with your current 3 RIR intead of thinking how was your last meso, this simplified things a ton

For most people who are unenhanced, sometime between 35 and 45, assuming you've been training for at least 5 or 10 years.

That's a lot of shell fish for one sitting.

The traditional way is to get to about 12 reps , the old 8-12 reps thing, then if 12 is too easy add weight. Depends on goals tho.

@@geraldfriend256 Sounds reasonable. I'll go back to 75's until I can comfortably do 10 t0 12 reps.

Maybe your tendons are tired too. Deload and work your way back up from 65 to 80

Go buy a set of magnetic fractional plates. They allow you to go up 0.5kg at a time

@@john_m3619 I have considered this option. Perhaps I should. 5 lbs is too heavy increments to move up with.

I mean. Protein is absolutely necessary. Carbs are helpful.

Given that this video is Dr. Mike's explanation about how to achieve real actual muscle hypertrophy, why ask about keeping sarcoplasmic hypertrophy?

Your body can produce energy from any of the big 3 macros. Your body can only get protein from the protein you eat. So protein is the most important, however, a little bit of carbs helps you build muscle a lot better. Time it so it's right before and after training. Eat protein every 2-3 hours and you should be ok lean bulking.

Stronger for reps with good form and yr weight is going up or its staying same and you seam to be getting stronger or you are super fat losing weight and getting stronger

Yeah but that’s just the thing. Telling someone get to x strength standard is no different than going get to 18 inch arms, 27 inch quads, etc. You can’t force progression (and I mean real progression not manipulating the exercise to make it easier) it’s evidence of growth not the cause

Thanks for saving me the time of watching it all 😀😀

Not sure if this is a joke comment but assuming it’s not, no, it’s not true and I would never listen to Rippletoe for muscle building advice. He is ridiculously dogmatic about sets of 5 because that’s what his biggest product is built on. That’s it. There’s nothing magical about 5 reps though it is technically within the hypertrophy range. Doing them in a starting strength way will only wear your joints down over time, however, and lead you to plateau rather quickly. 8-15 reps will be a lot easier on the joints, allow for more flexibility within your training and rarely let you plateau, simply because you have the option of adding reps instead of just weight. Also some exercises, especially isolations, just suit themselves better to higher reps which is something you don’t want to neglect

​@@nomongosinthaworld great answer

I get all the time compliments on my arms and they are barely 15" so idk what talk about. Maybe you need to focus on other stuff like shoulders

Well first off, that’s because you are thinking of progressive overload as only adding weight and reps. There are many different ways to overload. Focusing on switching variations of the exercise, tempo, cheap reps, etc. I also don’t know what you mean by “even for reps.” If you can bench 200lbs for 5 reps, then working up to 20 reps is effective. And when you can do that, then do 205lbs and do it again. It’s an exaggerated example, but my point is it’s pretty endless. A good example of this is the KZfaqr Geoffrey Verity Schofield. He’s a natty gotten huge over the years, and his max lifts are relatively low compared to his size. It’s not bc he’s weak - he’s big and he could easily switch focus to strength. But his focus is hypertrophy. So while he does overload, it’s not with the focus of just moving bigger weight. Second, you wont encounter that problem unless you’re some sort of pro strength athlete or something. What will happen is you will experience diminishing returns, which means your strength - and muscle gain - with come slower over time. Adding just 5 lbs to a lift can take a year or more when you are advanced. Third, bodybuilders actually do encounter that problem. Thus why they use a lot of advanced methods: drop sets, super sets, working beyond failure, etc. These methods are to cause the muscle damage without using typical working set using weight that, at their level, is too much to use regularly. It’s also unclear of what you are talking about. You mention it’s an issue with “peak strength.” We are talking about hypertrophy. The more experienced you are, the more mutually exclusive they become. If you are talking about peak strength, then yes, there is a limit. Bc we are human. And trust me, you won’t hit that limit. That’s not a concern for you. I don’t know you, but I’m pretty sure you aren’t a top pro strength athlete trying to break world records. Finally you can sustain your muscle and strength. In fact, maintaining is WAY easier than building up. So no. There is no “issue” with progressive overload. No offense, but the issue seems to be you not understanding what it is, and how to properly utilize the concept as you become more advanced.

How far are you in your training? Have you hit the intermediate strengths standards? The methods for breaking through walls that are being hit, do very based on where you are in your training journey.

This simply isn’t true. Why do you believe this?

@@robmarsh918Geoffrey isn’t weak at all. He has been referencing that 250 bench for years same thing with ppl referencing outdated numbers for NH. His chest is one of his worst body parts (he himself agrees with this) he’s arm dominant. Strength comparisons in general are a clusterfuck because the forms are often different and there’s a genetic factor+sometimes leverage influence I think GVS also agrees with this from what I’ve seen that there’s no such thing as getting bigger without getting stronger for most naturals. Some outliers might be naturally enhanced and grow from fluff and puff like drug users but if you increase your lifts by 10% (without altering the exercise to arbitrarily move more weight tired of that straw man lol) then you’ll see a 10% improvement in your physique What the other guy said has some truth. I don’t believe in a natural limit outside of time but you can only do so much volume which is why progression becomes so slow. First we grow from just 1 set then 2 8 12. Then you move onto to adding more exercises. But eventually you’ve capped

If only it were that simple.

@@wowitsfrostygames155 the thing is.. it is that simple. All these experts and scientists are making it way more complicated than it needs to be. Do the basic lifts close to failure. Eat enough food to grow. Sleep well. And enjoy the process.

True. But what is being discussed is the finer nuances of progressive overload, which can be complicated

Maybe watch the video again, without a bias

@@RussellviewsNot really

What study has found this exactly? You should stop watching so much TNF and Paul Carter man, their dogma is bad for your brain

He actually has lots of videos on roids you can consume!

he does share it

He doesn't say exactly what he takes, but he does advocate staying away from tren from a harm reduction/safer use perspective

@@shane_rm1025 I've seen him say what he takes day by day, every drop on his contest prep video. Dude is super clear about it

Sure Mike is 250 lb at 5'6 with veins all over the place, he is indeed small

@@alaaentabi7879 Mike is on roids ..

I can see that you are a science expert

@@stonersstone1575 did you read my new Study on stupid commants ?

well check natty mike then@@djjankov6667

Genetics are a huge factor as well, he's trained multiple people into their pro card

He placed second at nationals I wouldn't fall that a complete failure

His genetics are terrible for bodybuilding, not sure why he risks his health for that

@@jeffm5099 self actualization 🤷

You don't need to win a body building competition to be a hypertrophy expert.
