Bloodsport? You sob, I'm in.
Do training from the original Baki first season. Wondering if I should fight a huge gorilla or not
Well damn, I just typed in a suggestion for No Retreat, No Surrender. I'm impressed that RP video guy even knows about it.
Having a specific video analysing the exercises they do in dragon ball z would probably blow up in popularity
Baki and one punch man
The only realistic thing about The Karate Kid is that Mr. Miyagi was a genius...He had basically a slave for two straight months and got everything done at his house all to teach 4 moves that would not work LOL Brilliant
Lmfao
"Gotcha, kid. Here's a life lesson for you, chump." - Dr. Mike
@@RenaissancePeriodization You're the exact person I have been looking for. Will you Please 🙏 do a video on The Knees Over Toes Guy and his methods?
Wax on wax off.
The movie didn't even explain that's shaolin buddah palm 98%-100%. Karate doesn't even use buddah palm afaik
@ShawnJonesHellion, it's called Kake-uke in goju-ryu karate
Wild to see Dr. Mike breaking down the gym scene between Johnny Sins and his female co-star.
Say what?
Timestamp???😮
Am I weird for wanting to watch that?
@@ChefofWar33 Not at all…not…at…all.
Cool idea for a video Dr. Mike. Personally think it would be cool if you did videos critiquing old athletes/bodybuilders workouts/diets. Thanks for the great content.
Golden era front raises 😁
just don't critique Arnold or fanatics will make this channel banned
He def swiped this idea from GQ’s channel but I’m not hatin I liked it
I would loooooove this
I have fish and a rice cake. Then my next meal is uhh...fish...and a rice cake. Then I have some fish and a rice cake.
I spent most of my childhood trying to catch flies with chopsticks. Understanding the science behind the impossibility of it is extremely validating. Thank you, Dr. Mike.
If you move your hand really slowly over top a fly, and lower it slowly down on the fly, the fly won’t even detect that your hand is in motion, and you can get right down on him before he knows what happened. It’s not as cool as catching one wth chopsticks, but maybe you can exercise those childhood chopstick demons. Give it a try!
I know, right? What a ripoff! - Dr. Mike
Now I just need the science behind why I’m not motivated to go to the gym to make me feel better about that too
Also ur female so ur (hand-eye) coordination and reflexes are far inferior.
I always just swooshed my hand above a fly basically taking advantage of it having no central processing and just flying away from the surface it was sitting on and flying right into my hand.
Oh my god I lost it at "the cumulative fatigue of getting hit by wrenches". That sentence alone is worth this entire video
Pain and Gain was enthralling. Terrible situation, but how exciting to have gym life feature so centrally in a film. Loved it. Time to rewatch it 😂
I like it. I like the rock and mark together in film. They. Good to watch
@@bigchungus1848 yea. Why do I feel that movie. Pain and gain. Is just taking the pist out of me. ..hey I got lots of Hollywood friends and. They told me. Some disturbing stuff about that moive and how they laughed while making it. And my name was bought up. Yea. Guess that part. Not so funny.
He should have watched the movie first and then talked about the training scenes. Of course he couldnt know, but many things were there for joke purposes (Adrian winning the contest or the Jew dude being ignored by Mark)
it's super funny
Still blows my mind it was a true story.
No matter how ridiculous the movie training was in rocky IV. You have to admit that Sly was definitely in his best shape ever.
Bro.... AMAZING shape. Both him and Dolph were out of this world! - Dr. Mike
I personally think he looked better in Rambo 3!
Dolph was amazing at kickboxing as well.
Most movie stars have no martial arts experience.
I can’t imagine the CTE of tanking Dolph’s or the big black guy’s punches.
@@C0d0psStallone tanked one of Dolph's punches to the chest and ended up in hospital for 4 days
Although they were both so dehydrated and so low Body fat to be that ripped that in a fight would be terrible.
Hearing Dr. Mike say "Кардиограмма" in perfect Russian when reviewing Rocky - warmed my heart! ❤
To be honest, I was blown away 😂 It was so unexpected and so perfect, almost without any accent, that I just went "WTF?!" 😂
Yeah, same here, was sooo surprised😂
Kardiogramma! I like the word! Recently started learning Russian!
“To the untrained eye it looks like flashing lights but to the TRAINED eye…. It looks like flashing lights”
😂 instant classic. Just like Rocky.
I never thought I'd have Mike Isratel explain why getting hit with wrenches for training is bad 😂
The fact that when Dr. Mike talks about the effects of friction, back end of the kinetic chain, GRF, etc. and I actually understand EXACTLY what he's talking about, makes me feel like I've actually learned something from my graduate program in Athlete Development. Good times.
as someone who has no qualification in sports science, i also understand. are you sure you learned anything you couldn't have accessed outside of a degree?
@@ruutjormun2262 no. It's quite possible with the access to information today to gain all of this knowledge (although some of this information is bunk). However, the benefit, for me at least, is that the standard education is structured and builds each week. Not knowing where to start can be a daunting task in the fitness world. For example, I just finished a project for advanced biomechanics where I had to analyze a swing in baseball. Every joint in the body, internal and external forces acting on the body, muscles responsible for moving the joints, and then make recommendations for improvement for my sample athlete. Without having exercise physiology and motor learning prior to this course, I would've missed a lot of details. Something seemingly simple turned into 10 pages. So, it's possible. But it's likely difficult.
Very cool man! - Dr. Mike
Hahah I got lost at "back end of the kinetic chain" :(
"The cumulative fatigue of being hit by wrenches is unsustainable"
Dr Miyaki
I LOVED the Batman v Superman training scene. I’d honestly give it a 9 myself. So glad you went over it and mostly agree
From what I remember he did his workout right before he went into the fight which I thought was a counterproductive.
*All the dude in the video's nitpicks made no sense.*
Agreed. Except that Affleck is s pussy.
@@bufflatino5121 exactly 🤣🤣🤣. 90% of the stuff, he knows absolutely nothing of what he’s talking about 😂🤣
@@CeeWorld69 Could you kindly elaborte ? Not trying to be rude , just curious
It's really a good idea to do videos like this! I love it!
This legit is the perfect combination of entertainment and education 👌
These are going to blow up
Great video! For the next you should include Patrick Bateman's workout routine American Psycho.
You know all the channels that I follow that are starting to do larger pitch content like this, this is the best I have scene at feeling like a natural outgrowth of content, and being fun without feeling too simple or boring for hardcore/knowledgebale fans. Really good work!
Awesome job Dr. Between this and the advanced hypertrophy lectures, the Q&A and more, my subscription is worth it!! Thank you RP :D
You should do one in the movie Never Back Down. Some stupid training, but motivated the hell out of me in Middle school haha
I think the movie Warrior is a pretty good depiction of a fighters training leading up to a fight
Seeing Tom Hardy’s character train in Warrior inspired me to workout and also train in Muay Thai, Tommy Riordan was such an iconic character
Really enjoyed this change of pace in content. Thank you for posting! 🎉🙏
Dr. Mike talking about overloading dodgeball throws and catches. Going to add that to my back workout. Thanks, Dr.
Please do more. This was absolutely amazing and I learned a few things in the process while cackling.
Currently finding a way to incorporate this into my class lecture.
Also, did you negotiate to choose you own professorial title Dr. Mike?? “Professor of Advanced Training Theory” sounds way cool.
I was an extra in the Batman v Superman movie when it shot in EL. In one scene (that didn't make the film), Affleck shoulder-checks me out of the way as he's running toward Gal Gadot. Dude was built like a line backer. I was both impressed and shocked by how he transformed his physique for that movie.
...but he didn't knock me over though. I had my Superman socks on.
Roids
@@TheInterestedObserver I hate that.
Dude busts his butt for months to get in great shape. And all you can say is, "Roids." That would be like looking at a jacked guy and going, "Lots of protein and water." Yeah... getting into great shape takes a lot of work, nutrients, dedication, etc. Who cares if he took roids? They don't do any of the work for you, they just aid recovery.
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 He was impressed and shocked at the transformation. Hard work, diet and Roids, take away the roids and he would not make that progress that quickly. You might not care but that is the reason in answer to OP's shock.
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 you lack intelligence. Roids don't only aid recovery..they literally inhance your physique you idiot.
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 They do more than "just aid recovery"
This is the science based review we didn’t know we needed
please make more of these 🙏 absolutely fantastic!
This was amazing! Keep em coming!
This was some of my favorite content from Dr Mike
"That is a preposterous amount of drugs" I almost friggin passed out 😄
I've enjoyed watching this so much and I blast laughing on Rocky 4 review. Also when you said кардиограмма in Russian, that was suprisingly accurate pronounce.
Yeah, I've noticed it too as I understand he was actually born in Russian and moved to US as a child
One thing about the Rocky IV montage, that kind of bugs me, is Rocky lifting the cart with 3 people in it.
They basically sit on top of the axle and the beams he lifts are quite long meaning he has a lot of leverage.
In reality it’s not heavy at all.
You do it then if its so easy😂
This was fantastic! Tons of fun and hilarious, please do more!
PLEASE PLEASE DO ANOTHER this slaaaaaaaayed me thankyou doctor mike, the rocky IV was the best, your humor worked so well.
Love the mainstream style, super entertaining haha, I feel like finally Mike 's humor is put to real use😝
One of my favorite videos!!! Do lots more of these!!!
“Night at the Roxbury”. You HAVE to check it out. There’s a scene in the gym about 15-20 minutes into the movie where the trainer for the two protagonists publicly SHAMES them for not being TEAM Full Rom. Look it up!
That movie was so hilarious
12:04 Damn. Dr. Mike with the hard hitting relatable content.
Great topic. I would really enjoy a series like this
The roasting of the sham that is a "Rocky" film, especially by you- had me LOLing.
These are awesome 😂 keep them coming!
Sick need to break down more epic scenes for sure! 🔥
this is why i love this channel. Detailed analysis of a fly's cental nervous system vs humans and probabilities and The cumulative fatigue of being hit by wrenches...
Patches O’ Hullihan or however you spell it is the greatest coach ever in a movie. Every line he says was just brilliant 😂
Rip Torn RIP
8:14 this Jay Cutler reference is GOLD
Great video. We need more story time with Dr. Mike.
My gym's owner idolized Stallone in that period (he was a kid then), but he competes in NPC shows now. 12 on a 10 scale is how Rocky's biggest fans would score the movie.
The ultrasound of the heart while training - absolutely hilarious! It‘s hard enough to get a decent picture when a patient is simply lying down! 😂
Perfect content. Can't wait the next one
That was pure gold! Loved every second of it XD
Please do more of these!
Please do Taxi Driver, American Sniper etc
Literally bawling 😂😂, your workout reviews are second to none!
extremely entertaining as always dr mike
Would love to see a rundown of Stalone's makeshift gym in his semi truck in Over the Top.
Dude, yes! Maybe next time. Hint: NOT GOOD lol. - Dr. Mike
❤ LOVE THIS ❤ Dr. Mike's training and physiology wisdom combined with his humor juxtaposed with Hollywood's training scenes = hilarity and absolute joy. More, PLEASE, MORE!
This was great, Dr. Mike 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Hustle (2021) better be in the next episode of this! That training montage was 🔥
This guy has a great sense of humor , love it
It took me a depressing amount of time to learn that training on an unstable surface doesn’t translate into stability on the surfaces that I played sports on. I needed this video ten years ago.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these breakdowns! Almost as much as You Dr Mike. 😉 Thank you for this.
Great video! Please more of these 😁
In my younger years, I used to smoke, on a break I spotted a fly, flicked my lighter, and lit its wings on fire - it spiraled down like a WWI biplane that lost a dogfight. In my later years, I won a full-contact International Sanda competition, so torturing flies as a training aid does in fact translate to martial arts prowess:)
I cannot stop laughing at, "This is a preposterous amount of drugs." It's been like three minutes of giggling.
Rocky 4 will forever be the best training montage.
Plz do more!🙏🏻 That was hilarious!
No retreat, No surrender
That is a damn good training scene.
Hilarious!! Please do more of these!
Great concept, can’t wait to see more
Absolutely do more of these!
Karate kid was written by a Goju black belt. The founder of Goju was “Chōjun Miyagi” from Okinawa. That is exactly how you block in the soft part of Goju. The way the bad guys train is very familiar to the hard part of Goju. It’s like they split the style in two for the film. Also all the beach training is not for technique really, we all know that kick is not really performed like that, as does Miyagi, what he is learning is to overcome his primary weakness as a fighter: lack of focus. We see that in the scene before, with all his jumping and fooling around. By making him balance on something he has to stop all that shit. This is excellent focus training.
It’s more an 8 out of 10 for stand up fighting.
Love it!!!!! Yes indeed Professor Mike keep them coming on these Hollywood training and workout movie critiques! Not only do I love the calling them out on what works and what ineffective and a complete BS waste of effort exercise(s) or training method; I especially love your wicked sense of humor commentary in all your posted vids Coach Mike. It’s so stimulating loml! Damn… you can make a mofo chuckle until their sides hurt. My dude! 💪🦾
Dude, you're the best. I laughed so hard on the Rocky IV part. LMFAO. Thanks. 😆
I enjoyed this way more than I should've 🤣 Thanks Dr. Mike lol
This was entertaining as hell! The other Rocky and Creed films are an obvious choice for the next video.
Great content Dr. Mike!
Please do Undisputed 2 and 3, these are very good!
Thank you for highlighting the silliness of training on unstable surfaces.
"The cumulative fatigue of getting hit by wrenches." Best line.
Man, that Pain and Gain analysis. I'm kind of a newbie in training, but to get better, I hire a trainer, which I like. I train seriously and I think we are doing great, but man, I recognize myself a bit too much in the bad relationship described by Dr. Mike. We always start by a chat while I'm on the elliptic to warm up (low intensity cardio), and then, I just see myself often talking too much to him in the following trainings. Yikes !! I hope my trainer is OK 😬
EDIT : No worry guys, we're currently crushing it in the gym lately me and my trainer!
Set concrete, measurable goals. If you don't reach them, your trainer is not OK.
Nothing wrong with a chat while warming up. It's supposed to light enough that talking isn't challenging. But if you're chatting in the middle of reps, especially for compound lifts then, yeah, you might not be pushing as hard as you otherwise could
A bit of chatting is totally cool! Just as long as you stay on task as much as the time is worth it to you! - Dr. Mike
@@RenaissancePeriodization Yeah, our chats doesn't help by any means the narrative of a movie! We have serious training talks; cause I'm an educated guess, haha!
I love our content, thanks for the reply !
Dr. Mike reading cyrillic that effortlessly is a little detail that most people didn't notice. He is full of surprises.
Oh my days, this was the best RP video to date.
The Karate Kid was ahead of it's time - doing training moves in pointlessly unstable positions *decades* before TikTok.
As a russian native speaker, the way Dr. Mike flawlessly said "кардиограмма" made me spew my coffee. It was like "WTF? Is this a part of the video?"
Absolutely loved this video!
I LOVE THIS SERIES! My suggestions:
Coach Carter
Remember the Titans
Warrior
Little Giants
I think you were a bit too brutal on karate kid but I'm also a karate practitioner. Wax on wax off wasn't to make him do a perfect block, it was to build muscle memory as a foundation of learning to block. Karate also does use blocks like that but they involve two hands and more nuance. You're right about the balance part, except he wasn't only trained for competition. He was training balance mentally, spiritually, and physically. This is an important concept in traditional martial arts. That's why a traditional martial artist is gonna say something along the lines of, "it's more important to know when to fight than how to fight."
Yeah Dr. Mike is extremely knowledgeable but I don’t think he was looking at those things in the right way, rather he was looking at it in the scope of just physical fitness
As a trainer in a commercial gym I agree 1000 percent with the analysis of the Pain and Gain scenes.
Sometimes I catch myself completely zoning out in the middle of spotting a set of standing overhead presses while listening to a rich (or so they want you to believe) man/ woman talk about “how they made their first million.”
I know it’s wrong but after hour 4 plus (or 8 clients plus) it’s inevitable 😂
I love this video btw and you should definitely do more in this format!
Brilliant commentary! Too fkn good! 😆
"Crushing your opponent's picture is critical to success, everyone knows that" = highlight#1
"Hitting all time PRs for boxing is some combination of irrelevant and a terrible idea" = honourable mention
YES DUDE! More of this. More Rocky. Awesome!
I love pain and gain its hilarious
At first I thought he’s Dana White 🤔
Omg, I might look into membership just to see a breakdown of bloodsport and drunken master!
Yup he's definitely a great sports scientist. Brilliant video. 👍🏻
*Batman actually had FOUR 45lb plates on those weighted pullups.* 🦇
Pain and gain was a sarcastic movie that made the characters look dumb and out of touch with reality.
It was based on a true story and facts. Yes it was definitely blown out of proportion for film enjoyment reasons but it definitely has roots in truth.
Not only do personal trainers in commercial gyms actually “train” people the way that is shown in Pain and Gain, they also sometimes have the audacity to approach random people (not their clients) and tell them they’re doing something wrong. That’s when I know videos on the internet can sometimes teach a person how to do something better, than the education those trainers had.
I just had a random trainer tell me I’m squatting too deep…
I love it. I wanna see you review Dragonball Z training videos 😂
Although not like in Karate Kid, you can absolutely block or redirect punches in real life. In Boxing it is called parry.
Holy crap. When he got to Rocky I actually cried laughing. That was the best 5 mins ever 😆
Oh boy, great lunch break content 😂💪🏽
I just stumbled across Dr. Mike's channel and I cnannopt get enough of this stuff!!!! So good. It's funny because it's so painfully true.
