What's Jow Forums's opinion on this guy?

A lot of the faggots on this thread are saying he is stating obvious things with a veneer of scientific jargon but they are wrong. How many of you faggots know about volume cycling and that the best way to bring up a lagging muscle group is to put everything else on maintenance volume (not gaining or losing muscle) and gradually increase the volume on the lagging muscle group?

He's like the Jordan Peterson of fitness but not gay.

he's a jew you cretin

Russian Jew*

Sure he doesn't invent the wheel, but he's popularising high-end scientific methods you faggots wouldn't be bothered to read about otherwise. I for one love the whole Juggernaut crew and once I'm finished with juggernaut 2.0 program, I'll hop on a bodybiulding split with the careful mesocycle programming like Israetel says. I think it's the key for long-term progressing without stagnation and injury.

hes a racist bio-truths spouting libertarian ayn rand worshipping jew
nah jk hes real smart

They worked for me.

he lifts heavys and does bjj. hes cool by my book

Should have keeped the beard

Mikey lookin W I D E

congratz man that is awesome

He is great and you should listen to some of his talks you'll learn a lot.

what is even the point of saying "hurrr he is just spweing basic shittt durrr" ?

>anti bro splits
>understands the importance of training volume, and how optimal rep ranges exist

He is the only steroid user that knows how to train natties.

His training advice is alright, there are many ways to skin a cat. His diet advice is typical low fat dogma, which I think smacks of "unnatty advice for natty lifters" given the steroid era rise of low fat diets in fitness and my own experiences as a small fry coach. But what REALLY makes me dislike the guy is that he CONSISTENTLY refers to lateral deltoids and the "medial delt." In medical terminology, medial means the exact opposite of lateral, you cannot use the two interchangeably to describe the same structure. For someone with a doctorate, this immediately makes me suspicious of everything else that comes out of his mouth.

If I had to pick a "fitness guru" to follow of the lot these days, it would be Menno Henselmans, the Bayesian Bodybuilding guy. He seems to be one of the few truly scientific guys around, rather than "scientism" practiced by guys like Israetel and Nippard.

Here's a vid showing off his sick dance moves

his rant about rack pulls on coach blahas video from yesterday was funny

Flying squirrel mode lol

as a rule of thumb I don't trust people with eyes like that, tend to be sociopaths

Jow Forums doesn't like people who use "scientific terms" they would rather listen to manletdestiny or some shit.

>Bayesian Bodybuilding

Guy's alright, but his brand name makes me cringe.

based as fuck
His hypertophy specific persiodization and progression model is a game changer.

Here is a short summary and sneak peek

He's alright, but he's a jew. I'm getting mixed signals.....

Even the bodybuilders from the 50s-60s looked better than this faggot and they had no idea about all of this garbage. They knew how to have a decent diet and work like animals for their goals. I swear to god I fucking despise all this nerd shit thrown around the internet. Just pick up some weights and shut the fuck up. It doesn’t have to be optimal. You don’t have to track every calorie and every rep. Just lift heavy and do it long enough to have some actual results.
Also
>roiding for this

retard none of that is as useful as it is made out to be by him to promote his shitty shit

Hurr durr making training systemic is bad. You sound like a complete idiot.

>I swear to god I fucking despise all this nerd shit thrown around the internet. Just pick up some weights and shut the fuck up. It doesn’t have to be optimal

Fuck you. I'm gonna plan my training in mesocycles and eat my macros down to single calorie, just to spite your sorry ass

>Even the bodybuilders from the 50s-60s looked better than this faggot and they had no idea about all of this garbage

google "confirmation bias" you brainlet.

Bodybuilding is 97% genetics. And you only get to see pics of the best looking guys around. You have pics in your head of the 3 elite looking guys in the "50s and 60s" and form your opinion around this

is there any evidence that low carb diets are as good as low fat diets for hypertrophy?
legit question not being an ass

not to mention those guys consumed barbaric amounts of drugs for the results, making schematic training just as useless for they could not train in the human level

Carbs replace muscle glycogen faster and are generally easier to consume

I despise all these faggots saying: "oh, you don't need to structure or plan your training, just lift heavy weights up and down" - either you faggots use steroids, or you are weak, dyel shits.

It’s a great way to spin your wheels.
Looking forward for the n’th “why I’m making no gains” thread.
It’s not just genetics you mongrel. There’s also symmetry, conditioning, posing, proportions and whether you like it or not, facial aesthetics. The faggot in question has none of these yet acts all high and mighty as if he has the holy grail of bodybuilding.

Yeah but that doesn't seem to be an issue unless someone trains multiple times a day.
Do diets high in fat and low in carbs when controlling for calories and protein actually do as well as high carb diets in terms of muscle protein synthesis?

Based brother

>It’s a great way to spin your wheels.

You fucking retard. You NEED to take systemic approach to your training if you want to lift more than 1234 as a natural.

eeer I don't have a dog in this fight but I got to 5pl8 dl in 13 months by just doing a 5RM every week.

Short term carbs are the way to go but long term I wouldn't know. Pretty much all professional athletes eat carbs to get the immediate edge on their opponents

Everyone in the gym that’s big finds out what works for them, regardless of what internet ‚gurus‘ say. Everyone on Jow Forums follows these ‚gurus‘ program of the month and makes no gains. Hmm

You don’t need more than increasing the weights once in a while and add isolation work where it’s needed.
You need a basic plan. What Israetel is doing is complicating a simple concept to the point it sounds fancy enough to sell to gullible idiots like you.

fuck off
It is his interpretation of practical application of training principles from studies and meta analysis on hypertophy.
And the training principles he reffers to are well established in sports science and even most of Jow Forums follows them in some way or another:

1. Specificity - have a clear goal for your training (running won't gain you size)
2. Overload - do more over time aka have a progession
3. Fatigue Management - don't overtrain or you will get hurt and lose gains
4. Stimulus-Recovery-Adaptation - basically train, eat, sleep, repeat... even rippetoe uses this faggot
5. Variation - don't do the same shit for years on end (muh 3x5 squat is stalling for 3 months bro)
6. Phase Potentiation - have a specific training phase for different goals (strength specific training is different from just getting as big as possible)
7. Individual differences (your body is unique in the sense that some muscle parts will come naturally to you while other need more work and volume... some people have big biceps with training arms once per week, some need different approach)

A lot of Mike's interpretation of scientifc literature is based on Brad Schoenfeld btw

Congrats but you are an outlier

So basically, dressing up common sense in scientific terms to sell to morons who want to feel smarter than the average gym goer. Got it

>You don’t need more than increasing the weights once in a while and add isolation work where it’s needed

Yes, this will get you 90% of all natural gains.

But Mike Israetel coaches elite athletes and national champions who wants to gain 100% and place first in powerlifting and bodybuilding shows. He was nutritionist for American weightlifting Olympics team.

How do you know he’s an outlier? Maybe he just did what worked for him rather than following a shitty internet ‚strength‘ program, when most people here do these shit programs then complain they make little gains?

or just you know, justifying the common sense with some background of scientific evidence

Cope brainlet. All trues seem obvious once they are discovered. go ask some random for advice because it's "common sense" then

Kek how is this a strength program?

I don't think so. I have tiny fucking wrists (7.5"), short as fuck arms (lock weights like half an inch below my balls), and honestly 5pl8 after a year or so is pretty average I think. If anything I have below average genetics for deadlifting, I think most people can lift more if they apply themselves.

look at not mutt enough, guy's pulling 600+ after less than a year deadlifting, and he can't be that heavy. that's an outlier.

I've just noticed that most novice don't push themselves at all. not even novices, most gyms regulars never get to the point where they struggle, and it just so happens these are the people who never progress.

from what I've read, up to a certain point, maxing out is the optimal way to gain strength. (and by "up to a certain point" I mean "unless you're a world class powerlifter")

don't know about bodybuilding though, it's probably different. Dr. Mike Israetel strikes me as the type of guy who knows his stuff.

Yeah, that’s why the soviets and the bulgarians crushed americans in the olympics for so long. Look, I’m not anti research. I’m anti bullshit and this guy is full of it. Even for an elite athlete “do more of this” is enough sometimes. Look into the bulgarian method. It’s just crazy frequency done for years and years. Nothing really special about it.

If that's the case and you think it's just a mindset you are an outlier on that front.

As you said most regulars don't hit those sort of numbers so quickly.

Stay strong brother

So the best way to improve shitty muscles is to prioritize training them? Whoa you just blew my fucking mind you goddamn troglodyte.

you are fucking stupid

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I've always been confused what do in regards to after the first deload. The MED increases but what about the weight you are using, does that increase?

The point is if you let the rest of your body maintain and only blast that one lagging area over a training block. you allow your body to recover from any built up fatigue.letting your body fully focus on repairing the area that's receiving the most amount of damage (the lagging area)

If you want to throw insults that's fine but don't tell me I didn't try to explain. If you actually want to learn something about the other side go listen to mike israetel himself instead of hearing about it from a second hand source

needing a roiding manlet to tell you, using "smart" and "scientific" terms, to increase the effort you put in, back off when it gets too much and eat and rest
bet you retards lick up all his shit he spews out too

I'm indifferent to this argument but who do you listen to?

That's not the question to ask, as it assumes low-fat is inherently superior. It should be a two-tailed test: is there a significant difference between low-fat and low-carb diets for hypertrophy? I don't think that's been proven, not a bit. Plenty of guys in the pre-steroid and early steroid (before insulin, IGF-1, etc) era got huge on low carb diets (

he's great but his training methods would kill a GDE like me

t. Henselmans

>PhD practices scientism
Yeah okay.
>refers to lateral delts as medial delts
I haven't heard him do this. Are you sure you aren't thinking of Athlean-X?

Perhaps I judge him too harshly, but he does seem somewhat married to his ideas. Not quite Nippard tier (visible cognitive dissonance when discussing training frequency, lol), but that is my impression. Also: Layne Norton is a PhD too, not the highest bar to hurdle.

The delts thing was on the Revive Stronger podcast, he's been on there a few times.

Left with a shaved head would look better
