    You are a born teacher, I started working out the moment Loz said you won, (dropped down and did push-ups i haven't done that in over 5 years) and I've been doing something physical -even if it's 1 set of situps, every day since then. You have broken me out of a really unhealthy place and I am gonna keep coming back here for more motivation. Thank you so, so much❤

  • @ChristopherSalisburySalz

    I wish I was just always calm and collected and things didn't bring me down. People like this generally accomplish big things in life because they are likable, they don't give up on a task, and most importantly they don't give up on themselves. I have realized over my 44 years on earth that I am my worst enemy. Often I give up on myself before anyone else even thinks about giving up on me. This applies to business - maybe a new position overwhelms you and you feel like you are failing and you step down. The next guy might not do any better in the beginning but he doesn't get down on himself and just keeps on going. Believing in yourself and tolerating stress well are 90% of being successful in business and life really. I've gotten a little better now that I know I do this to myself.

    One of the things I love about what you've brought to the sport of strongman is an evidence based approach which is a breath of fresh air. I remember watching the giants live podcast with you and Darren last year after group stage and being really intrigued by what you had to say. It has changed the way I view strength training and fitness, so thank you for that.

    Was Mitchell really born in 1995? Holy shit he is young! Makes me even more confident that he can dominate for some time in strongman, if he keeps it up and does not get injured.

    @roberte289 Před rokem +1

    I dont think transient spikes in testosterone and especially growth hormone affect hypertrophy. At least not directly in the case of growth hormone. Training at a high intensity in low rep ranges still results in plenty of tension in the muscle overall so if you accumulate enough volume you could noticeably gain muscle....or so i think

    This is maybe a strange question/topic but maybe you better than anyone would have a good answer or input. I have often found that going for a run greatly improves my recovery, in particular after deadlifts. I know you used to run and I was wondering if this makes sense to you or if you have ever experienced something similar.

    • @Ont785
      @Ont785 Před rokem

      I have found similar results from running and swimming.
      I find that with heavy weights, my body adapts very well with the cardio conditioning.
      Basically, I don’t get as tired and can recover quickly between sets

    • @sagebauer1077
      @sagebauer1077 Před rokem

      I noticed something similar (as long as the run was relatively short, no more than a couple miles).
      My best guess is that it just causes a lot of blood to pump through your legs.

    • @connorlewis6442
      @connorlewis6442 Před rokem +1

      doing light cardio after lifting is a form of active recovery (which he mentions in the video) and is proven to help you recover faster. google can tell you more.

I've been in the hospital 3 times because of it so far.. i try to keep working out but all the doctors and specialists ive seen have no clue on whats going on, i need help. I want to keep working out but i don't want it to kill me. I am a Canadian that lives around 5h drive from your clinic, i wonder if any of you guys could help me in any ways or recommend me to someone. Sorry if i sound a bit desperate but it is cause i kinda am. My entire life i've done sports and enjoyed working out and now this happiness of mine is weirdly difficult to do now and kinda taken away.

I don’t have much appetite, usually get down a steak and 2 cups of rice a day while working. Try to stay hydrated and maintain the routine. Come home and try to be in bed by 8:20-9am at the latest. Thanks Mitchell
