I've been recomping for around 4 months. I've greatly increased strength and lost 19 pounds. My secret was starting off weak and fat!

Your head isn’t misshapen, it’s just a recomp of a normal skull…

[joshua.r]

Thank you dr mike for being there for me, the father I never had.

[kiraridegen]

just ran across this channel after his collab with dr mike.

He is sharp, humble, positive, empathetic, understanding and just an overall fascinating person to listen to.

fear not for his misshapen skull bros, for doctor mike sacrificed his hairline from his studies and his skull could not contain the massive hypertrophic gains of his brain.

Total newb to weight lifting. I weigh 250lbs and have a height of 5ft 9in im basically a fat s*it. Sorted out a calorie deficit. I walk 5 mile every morning and do 1 hour weight training 5 days a week. Hopefully this will get my life back on track. So glad i found this channel. Alot of real talk and no bullsh*t. Thanks Dr Mike 👍

I started off with little muscle and a lot of fat. Been over a year and I’ve lost 15 pounds while gaining very noticeable amounts of muscle. I don’t count calories but I stay away from processed and high fat foods and focus on eating vegetables and lean proteins and I plan to continue it for a few more months thanks to this video!

I did nearly an exact 1:1 body recomp over the last year. I started around 190lbs at 20+% bodyfat in May 2023 and am currently 188lbs at ~12% bodyfat. Based on how my transformation went, I would recommend the boy recomp strategy to anyone who is overweight and wants to get jacked. The amount of weight I can move has increased nearly every single week, and I look better every week at the same time, seriously the best of both worlds.

Ahh I needed a video like this, I’m a beginner and it’s very confusing to know if I should bulk/cut or just eat and train hard. Thank you for clearing up the differences !

[RedfishCarolina]

My own experience about recomping. The #1 obstacle is your appetite. Most of us who need a lot of fat loss have pretty robust appetites and I'm convinced it's partly a physiological addiction. There's some dopamine hit, or something, you get when overeating.

Hitting that slight calorie deficit is damned hard. It's way easier to just go balls out calorie cutting but doing that for more than a few days often results in one of those days where you don't give a shit anymore and you eat a whole weeks worth of calories in a day.

4 months into taking my health seriously and recomping. At least from a beginner’s standpoint it’s nice to see improvements from both ends. Way better motivator than starting with a bulk.

Hi Dr. Mike! I would love to see a video or series on body recomp for very overweight people. I started off about a year ago with about 100lb to lose. I'm halfway there focused on recomping throughout, but I haven't been able to find much on special considerations for people who have a huge body fat percentage to drop. Thanks for all the incredibly informative content. You've been a great help to me on my journey.

[iRelentlessEnergy]

You know, I can’t say this about most channels. But I find myself watching Dr.Mike’s videos to completion. I learn something new almost every time and get a kick from his humor. Absolute entertaining information.

RP is the best place for information like this. Just by following the free advise available on this channel, I lost 154lbs in 14 months. Also I was able to add .5 inch to my upper arm. Thanks Dr. Mike!

[MrHhhhhhhhhgf]

76th day in my recomp, 25lb down, in constant 300 calory deficit, amazing muscle and strength growth so far, training 5 days per week, was originally very pessimistic but the results already achieved are truly amazing!

[anubhavpatnaik]

I lost about 51 pounds and gained muscle after a year of training, all thanks to Dr. Mike for being here. every word of this man's mouth is pure gold folks. If you follow what he says consistently you will get results. Love you doc ❤

[БорисШувалов-щл]

I love how you address this topic with such honesty.

[CosmosGamingChannel]

I love you so much Dr. Mike. I had PsA really bad which left me nearly immobile for 3 years. Remicade saved me. For the past 10 months, I’ve been on a deficit diet, bodyweight in protein a day, resistance training 4 times a week, boxing twice a week, and one rest day.

I’ve put on solid muscle and went from 225 to 182. I feel amazing and watch your videos religiously.

[pleasehelp]

I've been trying to lose weight for 2 years. I got a job that requires me to be on my feet for 8hours a day and over 22 months, fixing my diet, and walking at work I lost 60lbs (from 265 to 205). I started serious weight training and watching this channel 2 months ago and already lost 17lbs more (205 to 188)and started to build some muscle in my legs, shoulders, arms, and chest.
I have more energy, I feel happier, I'm more confident, and I'm lifting heavier than ever.
Your advice has really helped my technique and knowledge.

[DeBedschbacher]

Oh boy, talk about brilliant timing...

[kylepienaar]

Dr Mike, you inspired me to get my fat ass working out. I'm a couple weeks in and can say the newbie gains are for real.
Keep up the good work, and keep inspiring.
