It was an absolute honor being featured 🙇‍♂️ That being said, I will be placing a restraining order on you effective immediately 💋

That leg press technique actually left my mouth agape. If your leg press ROM is limited by your legs running into your fucking shoulders, you know you're going DEEP.

[DRDRADSA]

This guy is an absolute MONSTER holy shit.


And Erik is pretty big too

[phantomfire]

Can I train my scalp muscles to look like yours

[Piebunion]

It’s nice to see someone training effectively rather than putting in a show for social media. Genuinely inspiring.

I’ve actually spoken to Eric, and he takes to you for a lot of information and guidance. When I asked him for help, he directed me to you. I hope this comment gets pinned because people won’t know otherwise really, and it’s pretty interesting. He’s a lovely guy too just to add - great dude you know

[_Turrkey]

That was a perfect transition to the app. Well done

[tomlazoriksuccessfitness]

I figured you’d appreciate this bloke! His obsession with the deep eccentric stretch is something to behold 🙌

Sometimes I'm listening while I lift and I like to pretend Dr Mike is giving me the validation i never got from the father who was never there. Thank you Dr Mike for all that you do for this community

[Coach-Eddy]

When he starts doing dips and Dr. Mike says “Holy crap”….. shits gettin real 😮

[kurtchapman]

Eric has changed my style of training and I can tell I am so much more mobile and less sore from the gym. I can also see my muscles growing. I appreciate him for sharing and for Dr. Mike featuring it.

[GaZa]

We NEED an Eric and Dr Mike workout collab.

[Connor_Kirkpatrick]

Oh my GOD S+ for this guy. I’ve never seen a better training session in my life

[JoeAuerbach]

It's so rare that we see one of these videos where the guy knows what he's talking about that I almost didn't know what to do with this

[richardcaraballo]

Don't sleep on those deficit pushups, I did them a few weeks back out of necessity because I was traveling and the hotel gym only had 50's, but did those wreck my chest, the pump was insane as well. Definitely an underrated tool.

5:30 This is an important distinction when following advice from an advanced bodybuilder and a normie -- don't just follow the advanced guy because he's on the elite level which requires different methods. Newbies don't need to pre-fatigue themselves.

Careful when using a Leg Press like that with as much ROM. Your blood pression can go up x4 on this machine since you have the head lower than the legs.
Now I only use the hack squat, or do bulgarian splits squats. I would only use this press at the end of a leg session to finish off with lighter loads or 1-leg at a time. No more heavy sets, ever.

I had an accident with that. I used to go as low as possible (however I am not as flewixible and my knees would be more on my torso. At the bottom, it would compress my abdomen as I was performing a valsalva manoeuver to brace the core.

One day while doing a new PR, I experienced sudden headache on the back of the head, had a black veil about 2-3REPS before the end of my set and had to stop training. I never felt a pulsating headache like that and it was quite frightening honestly. I thought I had burst a pipe on my engine.
For 2 months my headache was coming back every time I would do some effort that made my blood pressure vary (workout, stairs, cycling uphill, pick up something on the floor, even sex) I tried once or twice to do some sport but felt my issue coming back and I didn't want to impact negatively my recovery.

Due to a disappointing medical journey, i first saw a GP that sent me to a physiotherapist, then angiologist and I didn't meet a neurologist until 6weeks after the injury so I didn't do MRI early enough.
They suspected some spasms on the veins, or something else but didn't really find the cause for sure

The most convincing explanation I found is a carotid artery dissection, which is not that uncommon, but risky enough to be one of the 1st things to check. It was probably overlooked or already healed enough when I saw the specialist.
Several conditions can weaken the blood vessel walls, but I think that in my case a bad combination of factors lead to the injury. (high load, compressed abdomen, blocked respirartion, head lower than legs)
In conclusion. I kinda liked that machine, but don't use it to do PRs or some Ego lift.

Glad you did this vid Dr Mike. I like how Eric Janicki trains and his training looks much like what you preach! 👏🏽💪🏽 Solid critiques.

Would love to hear your perspective on the knees over toes guy and the exercises his channel promotes!
