Mikey Likes You with Mike Catherwood

I've known Jay Campbell a long time. He is a very good man. He is well known as an expert in Testosterone and Hormone Optimization. In the last few years he has become an actual spiritual icon for me and many others. I could talk to Jay about sets and reps for hours, but we decided to discuss society and our collective consciousness instead. I really recommend listening and go to https://jayccampbell.com and check out all his amazing info and books. I loved "The Metabolic Blowtorch." Also...

I answered a lot of questions and I did it quickly. I did this pod right after leg day and I might have been a little over caffeinated. Oh well. You all gave me some good questions and I did my best. Fat loss and muscle gain, best type of protein powder, poop etiquette, details of my personal diet, healthy life while traveling and a bunch of other good stuff.

I definitely went in an unexpected direction this week. I recently realized my own mortality in a vivid dream. I went nuts and started thinking about the mass suffering and the horrible vitriolic slander we've been throwing at each other. Modern times have created a world that leaves us empty and yearning for purpose. It seems like when we try and find it, people start criticizing. I don't know shit about shit, but hopefully you can relate to some of the things I say in this pod Privacy...

Hey bro!!! So I asked you to ask me questions. That part went very well. I have done my best to answer said questions and that's what is on this pod. How much training, rest intervals, fat loss, getting a six pack, creatine, concerts and donkey shows...plus a whole lot more Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

Go Hard!!!! It's exhilarating. It simply can't be done with out adequate recovery to balance it out. Most people in the fitness world, are happy to get into the details of training and food, but they phone in the discussion on recovery. I will not phone it in. I will pod it in. Here it is Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

I have started to notice little things around the world that I think warrant a conversation. There are small mistakes and minor concerns that Im seeing people struggle with, and I wanted to take an episode to address them. Lifting straps, training footwear, squat and bench form, diet confusion, breathing technique and a bunch of other junk. I wanted to clear up some stuff that I think needs clearing.

Sal from Mindpump @mindpumpsal chats with me about his new book, "The Resistance Training Revolution." If you're familiar with my view or this podcast, you know that I am part of this revolution. I want everyone to understand the importance of weight training, and the misconceptions of cardio. Don't be scared of the weight room. You will not be a hulking bodybuilder or a vulgar, veiny animal. You will get lean and sculpted and you will continue to be disappointed with how you look and feel...

I've blathered on over and over about the importance of diet and weight training. These two factors are ALL you need to look better and improve markers of health. That doesn't mean that you can't do more. I know that many of you are still buying into the adage of cardio being better for your health but oh well. It isn't. It can be a useful adjust to training if you are wise and precise. This episode I give you a breakdown on how to be just that. The best way to implement cardio training for...

I said, "hey give me your questions." You all went, "totally." So I collected all of those questions and tried my best to answer them. This was the best collection of questions that you've sent in. Lots of really interesting and useful stuff. Motivation, inspiration, muscle gain, fat loss, and where to begin if you're a total beginner. Take a listen, and subscribe. It's lovely.

There are plenty of mistakes made when it comes to getting leaner. As many misconceptions as there are with building muscle, there is considerably more with proper dieting. I dive into the major myths about weight loss and fat loss, and also the straight truth that lives behind them. Cardio, weight training, diet, lifestyle stuff...its all here baby.

Don't tolerate anything less than your standard. Our life gets molded by what we tolerate. Maybe it's little stuff and maybe its major issues, but you shouldn't be forced to tolerate mediocrity. The standards are getting lower and we must fight it. Look at Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman https://youtu.be/FaWwG41_A9k. This was the standard for an action star in the mid 90's. That shit is awesome. I get a little edgy on this episode and I don't mean to sound condescending. I just want us all to...

Ive talked at length about exercise selection and amount. This podcast is about exercise performance or form. It is the most important factor when it comes to training content. Having fundamentally sound movement patterns means that you're actually doing the exercise, as opposed to demonstrating something. Take a listen, I hope you like it.

So I went on my insta. I asked you to provide me questions. You guys gave me questions. Now I answer them on this podcast. How long to rest between sets, how to prep for being a fireman, how to construct a 5 x 5 program, movie recommendations, balancing weight training and jiu jitsu, how to grow them legs and much more. Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

I really want you to make the change, if you want to make the change. Constructing a training plan is not easy. The waterfall of misleading info that splashes across your eyes and ears is endless. I try my best to give you the tools to put together your training plan to make a real change, and get the results you've been searching for. Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

All the so called "experts" have sold you marketable fitness propaganda for far too long. "If I blame carbs, insulin, sugar, gluten... people will buy my books." You end up paying the price financially and emotionally. All these myths have become true through repetition, and you end up confused. I break down reality and myth when it comes to eating for fat loss. I won't make any claim that I can't back up, and I am more then willing to eat crow if someone can refute these claims. Be warned,...

Through 6 weeks of my patreon service, I've had an increased ability to listen to the listeners. Ive gathered up the most common points of misunderstanding, and consistent areas of confusion. On todays episode I try to tackle these issues as best I can, in order to best help. Fat loss, performance and it's relationship to appearance, obsession with weight on the scale, consistency, overcomplicating of training and nutrition plus some more stuff. Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

I didn't intend on this being an embarrassing episode. It just ended up that way. A lot of folks have asked about motivation. So I intended to discuss motivation on this episode. As I got into it, I started to get emotional, while recognizing my limiting beliefs and my shameful past. So...Good times Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

Nick Hardwick was an 11 year NFL lineman who retired at over 300 lbs. Since his retirement, Nick has grappled with adjusting to regular person life, in both a physical and emotional capacity. He's now devoted to health and wellness with his excellent podcast, "Hardwick Life", and his fitness program, "Lose Like a Lineman." Nick and I have an excellent conversation about weight loss, mental health, identity, and so much more. Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

A few Patreon members made it clear, they wanted more insight into my actual routine. I was reluctant, because I don't want to give anybody the idea of copying my workouts or eating. Unless you're ready to do so, in which case, you probably wouldn't need my advice anyway. I detail my current eating and training, and my goals for my birthday this March.

I am not anti- cardio. I believe it is tremendously misunderstood. If you want to compete in most sports, then you should be doing lots of it. If you want to look good naked then you probably shouldn't. When you do decide to do it, you should do it right. I get right down to the nitty gritty about aerobic vs anaerobic, heart rate zones, high intensity training and much more on this new episode. Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.
