Mikey Likes You with Mike Catherwood

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.

I met Steve Zim about a decade ago, when he began training my wife at his Culver City Gym, A Tighter U. I quickly learned why movie studios and professional athletes trust him to create the bodies worthy of big paychecks. Steve is unbelievable smart and practical with his methods, and he is one of the kindest people in the fitness industry. He now has a online portal to train you from home with any equipment, including zero equipment. www.atumobile.com

I have been training my wife for five weeks. I don't want to brag, but the results have been stellar. I have zero problems promoting my skills, but my wife, Bianca Kajlich, does. She has been very resistant to allowing me to be her trainer. She finally relented, and she has been startled at how effective three short workouts a week with some practical nutrition can be. Bianca and I discuss our journey along with other physical, emotional, and spiritual trials.

I have often promoted ideas that I think are useful. Now it is time for me to say, "Hey, don't do that." Here I breakdown some things that people like to do, that I feel are useless or harmful. Happy Holidays to everyone. Love, Michael D. Catherwood

I put out a stellar video asking you all to submit questions. You did so. I tried my very best to answer these questions. Its a rather simple formula. Its good stuff about, steroids, power building, fat loss, cardio, parenting, sweet love making and a whole lot more.

Jason Ellis is one of my closest friends. He is also one of the greatest radio performers ever. With that in mind, It's strange that Sirius Xm would cancel his show unexpectedly. Being a special and resilient fellow, Jason is ready to grow bigger and stronger in the face of this challenge. This is a man who has beaten the odds with courage, grit and a shit load of crazy. Please listen to our conversation about dealing with trauma, insecurity, faking it till you make, and recognizing love....

The holiday season is upon us. That means NFL, family and bad eating decisions. I have tried really hard to find the middle ground between enjoying festivities and destroying my diet. I provide you folks with some tips to make it through the holidays as happily as possible. Plus, my close friend @culobreaker Rudy Cisneros calls in to give his some insight into his health and wellness.

Regardless of who you are and where you may be, the lockdown sucks. Now it's varying levels of suck, but it's suck nonetheless. Over the last 8 months I have made radical changes in my life and I assume most of you have too. This episode chronicles the practices that I totally think help me during the lockdown, and the ones that absolutely harmed me. Let's do it.

I go back to the well of great questions that you all send in. Plus, I get a tough hitting interview with my six-year-old daughter, Magnolia. A lot of exciting questions are asked of my daughter and me. I think we both do a great job of answering them. Topics include Testosterone replacement, training through injuries, calorie deficits, overhead pressing, motivation, finding romance, good moods, and much more.

Stan Efferding is the man! He's the strongest professional bodybuilder in the world. He also has a deep understanding of physiology. His "Vertical Diet" has helped everyday folk like myself and some of the greatest athletes on earth to improve their physiques and performance. We have a very insightful conversation about fat loss, muscle gain, health within the fitness world, cutting vs. bulking, and finding the right diet/routine for your personal needs.

Oh, man. The nutritional supplement industry is a crazy one. Magazines, websites, and IG accounts are always trying to sell you on the newest pill or powder, that's purportedly the missing element in your health journey. The truth is, it's all bullshit. There are compelling products that can help you, and there is a minimal amount of items that can be considered essential. This episode is devoted to clearing up the substantial confusion surrounding supplements and hopefully aids you to make...

I try to be as open as I can to help people who struggle with similar issues. I haven't dealt with anxiety much in my life, but my amazing wife, Bianca, has a long history with it. She thought it would be useful to spend an episode discussing how anxiety has harmed her and how she has successfully and unsuccessfully dealt with it. Because we are husband and wife, we have meaningless arguments and quarrels as well. It turned out to be a delightful conversation, and I think you'll see why I...

I wanted to cover some of the most common mistakes. These are mistakes that I've personally made over the years and ones that I frequently see others making. These missteps can easily discourage you and I'd love to prevent or put an end to them.

I am a drug addict and alcoholic. I've always been reluctant to directly create content based on addiction and recovery, but I'm happy to talk about it if someone inquires. Judging by my DM's and emails, A LOT of people are struggling with addiction in some form. This episode is simply my experience and understanding of recovery and addiction. I don't have the answer or secret solution to anything, let alone addiction. What I do have, is a nice collection of successes and failures that can...

I'm half way through the 12 week program from "The Maximus Body." The author of the book and the creator of the program, Bobby Maximus, joins me to discuss my progress. Bobby ends up enlightening me on so many different aspects of life. I always encourage you to listen to my Maximus episodes and this one is particularly informative. We end up chatting about relationships, mindset, framing and perspective, plus much more. www.bobbymaximus.com

Its a nice round of question and answer. I touch on some really good stuff, thanks to you the mighty listener. Topics include, being liked by girls, density training, creatine, getting back into training after a layoff, my personal diet, calorie surplus and how much, trap training and much more. I do in fact like you

Dr. Drew Pinsky has been my professional partner on the radio and television for a long time. Through our professional partnership we've developed a beautiful friendship. Drew and I get right into Covid talk and I sincerely feel its a different conversation than the one you're commonly hearing. Drew is not only a board certified MD, he's also a member of the media. Because of this, he has some of the most insightful views on how this pandemic is being handled. This is not a divisive, agenda...

So if you listened to the last episode with Ryan Bader, you may have heard me talk about the 12-week program I am doing. It is from the "Maximus Body" by Bobby Maximus (aka Rob MacDonald). The book is fantastic and I recommend it to you all. There is a six month program that is very comprehensive and well programmed. There is also a 12 week program that is gnarly!!!! I chose the latter. Its 6 days a week, two workouts a day, for 12 weeks. More than anything, it asks you to really get to know...

I have a chat with Bellator Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champion Ryan Bader. A very nice man who is so good at wrecking people. We talk about balancing work and family, diet and nutrition, raising boys in modern America, keeping motivation after finding success and much more. Ryan puts his light heavyweight belt on the line August 21st on DAZN and Paramount Network.

Its an awesome sesh of question and answer. We talk about dealing with urges when in recovery, regrets in life, training music, creatine, fat loss and muscle gain, giving up on love, cellulite, morning routine and a whole lot more. Oh and send your nominations for my new intro song to @mikeylikesyou1. I love my weekly Ween but I want to keep it fresh.
