About me: I'm a Canadian natural pro bodybuilder and internationally-qualified powerlifter with a BSc in biochemistry/chemistry and a passion for science. I've been training for 15 years drug-free. I'm 5'5 and fluctuate between 160 lbs (lean) and 180 lbs (bulked).

Who should I do an overrated/underrated video with next?

[timzeiske]

These two guys together are definitely underrated

Mike doubling down on his thoughts on training to failure was awesome.

[cap]

The way Dr. Mike breaks things down is incredible. For example, "If you're not progressing, trying to get sore is probably a good idea" is so simple and concise a way to elucidate his stance. Love him.

[connordillivan]

“You have to know what failure feels like.” Love that sentence specifically

[rustyshackleford]

My only problem with gym filming is when people get upset when you walk in front of their camera. You're in a public space, this isn't your personal studio.

[Riptyphoon]

Love the part 4:19, when Dr. Mike says "no one read the study, " and Jeff just smiles and laughs. Instead of editing out this moment or changing his answer, Jeff chose to leave this bit behind. Shows that Jeff is humble to admit he may be wrong in some things and isn't arrogant enough to pretend to know everything. Nothing wrong with not knowing everything in a given topic. Everyone should strive to continue learning.

“Filming” isn’t the issue, it’s basically just all the problems with social media and turning spaces away from their intended purpose towards the all-consuming purpose of “content creation”

[hippothehippo]

I think the primary reason I dislike filming or even snapping pictures in the gym is that unless you’re alone you’re inevitably posting people who may be feeling vulnerable for the world to see. It’s easy to brush it off with the bro answer of “just ignore the negativity” when we’re already making progress, or already look good but honestly, a huge reason a lot of people who really need the gym avoid it is that they’ve been put down and mocked their entire life. Exposure therapy doesn’t work for everyone, we already know this, and to me enabling a space people may be afraid to be in to begin with become the breeding ground for further mockery even if they’re just in the background is selfish. “High end gyms” might be more okay with it, as I’d expect only the super dedicated body builders etc are in there, but commercial gyms are supposed to be where people get started and if they have a provable reason to avoid going in at all, we’ve failed them.

[cflingo]

The problem I have with filming in the gym is the time it takes for people doing it to set up their shots. The in between checking of the shots. The retakes they do if not getting the perfect shot. And finally and worst of all, the attitude they get if you bomb their shot while going about your routine. In a commercial gym, with limited equipment, it's bad etiquette to camp out on that equipment because you think you're the next IG or TikTok fitness phenom.

[amanda_fit]

I am LOVING the fact that both of you are very respectful of each other's answers, based on separate experiences and knowledge base. It's rare to see in a world run by socials where people will agree with popular opinions just to stay relevant and well liked. LOVE THIS.

I actually see the value in natty or not videos. When I was a teenager, I used to lift with a guy in his 30s. We would do the same workouts together but he would see great results, and I would typically get injured, or so sore that I couldn't recover in just a week. I've been an athlete since I was little, and I was a 6'2 180 pound teen. I really though I had bad genetics until he revealed that he was on juice the whole time. I had body image issues for years after that, it's good for people to know what is and isn't possible without drugs. A lot of people, especially young people, think you can outwork someone on steroids and even the playing field, when in reality you literally can't "outwork" someone on steroids, the whole point of the drug is it makes you recover quicker

[KaptainKerl]

"as long as you don't disrespect other people who maybe don't want to be on camera". ever thought about that maybe nobody in the gym WANTS to be on camera?!

[SaturnoMovement]

The contribution of you both to the fitness industry is absolutely priceless. Thank you for all your work Mike and Jeff! A loyal supporter from years and years back ♥️ -Gabo

Being filmed in the gym is not the same as just existing in public spaces. Someone just seeing me in public won’t have a record of me to then share with as many people as they like. The number of videos being uploaded to TikTok where assholes film other people and accuse them of creeping, or just mock them… it almost makes me never want to go again. So maybe it’s great if you’re already super jacked, but as a beginner and old lady, letting people film me in the gym, even incidentally, feels horrifying.

[jamesyoung]

Thank you guys. This is super helpful! This format gets right to the meaty questions without beating around the bush. From two guys who are jacked in their own right, it feels great to hear this advice.

[tymarmaras]

The issue arises when people occupy multiple spaces to film, shame others for watching or posting their content on social media, mock unconventional workouts shared online, or get upset when someone passes through their filming area. In a public gym, everyone has the same rights to space. While I'll try to be considerate around cameras, I prioritize my own workout and expect the same respect in return.

[Hobbitberrry]

The thing about filming in Gyms is you can not expect people to not walk in front of your camera. That's the core issue. As joey swole as shown, so many influencers get so mad when someone else exists in the gym. Those influencers are the problem.

[noahconstantine]

Love the part he just said about psychologically draining yourself. Of course I am psychologically drained after a good workout, but I feel like sometimes on sets if I just breath out, or calm down and focus on contacting the target muscle, instead of just trying to freak out as hard as I can to put myself into an even higher level of hyperarousal, helps create better gains too.

[frazerkrohn]

The transition to discuss the training to failure update was elite!
