This just secures brady for the GOAT status in my mind. Imagine being an elite athlete for years while doing housewife workouts. Absolute chad.

[garak]

You know, I always wondered how Brady could simultaneously be an elite athlete and look like an accountant but now I kind of understand.

[Secretfire]

I need a 4 hour video of Dr Mike doing banded rows until failure 😂

[davidlakes]

“As he screamed in frustration, he felt something deep within… He felt his core engage.”

[OJC]

I had a weight training class in college and there was this jacked dude that I buddied with. He was a personal trainer and I remember him saying once "I have to have a good physique because it's the best advertisement for what I know and can achieve" that always struck me as very sound logic. I don't know how Tom Brady, a guy that's been at the pinnacle of the sports world for so long, can look at this trainer and think "Yeah, that's the guy I need to be getting advice from". The trainer has the physique of somebody that's been doing only banded exercises his whole life.

[TheHaiku]

By "do banded rows to failure" what he really meant was, do them until you decide to stop.

[JohnSmith-yxkf]

One quote that stuck with me after watching dogshart training in athletes was "a lot of pro athletes are so gifted that they succeed in spite of their training, not because of it".

[darrianweathington]

I was really impressed by Dr. Mikes ability to keep his core engaged for 18 minutes straight

[Jestokost]

The editing on this was hysterical.

For my sanity, I’m choosing to believe that these aren’t *really* the celebrity workouts, they’re what you get when the trainer (poorly) tries to adapt whatever they actually do with their clients into something a housewife could do with minimal equipment.

[rontellem]

When i was a new trainer, I remember taking over a client because a senior trainer had been hospitalized. He had education and experience over me, but his clients couldn't do basic movements. I really started looking at trainers differently after that

[XekTOr]

This HAS to be a joke, I mean even the guy demonstrating the exercises does them so comically I can't take it seriously.

[tonybernard]

I tried this workout, and like they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Unfortunately, I died of boredom. I don't think a professional chess player could survive this workout without suicidal thoughts, and they're trained to sit still for 5 hours straight.

[nickchorizo]

Dr. Mike asked at the start of the video how long we thought the warm-up would be. Little did he know, the entire workout would be a warm-up. Splendid!

[Michael-rkiw]

Its so nice to have someone ripping all these nonsense exercises apart and getting to whats real. Your videos and philosophy saved me a lot of time, and I really appreciate it

[rmps]

I could watch a dozen of these videos in a row...friggin hilarious!!

[RisingMoon]

Boy, what I would pay to see these trainers reacting to your videos. This is a MIGHTY NEED

[spyhunter]

Would love to see a “Training the Perfect [Pitcher, Linebacker, Point Guard, etc]”

Would be fascinating to see how Mike would prescribe the balance of sports specific movements vs strength training vs cardio etc.

[sonnieoj]

As Elgintensity once said "pro athletes make gains in spite of their idiotic form, not because of it."

[noproofforjesus]

I can’t stop watching these videos. Dr. Mike is hilarious. Please keep doing these.

[AvenEngineer]

Tom always struck me as a gifted QB surrounded by people who only cared about themselves. I often wondered why Tom never looked like a Terminator in his NFL career, now I know.
