    Another quality vid Mike! Straightforward and factual. It was really helpful to see your progress from 16 onwards. Puts it all in perspective and hopefully puts an end to the debate about whether you are natural or not. Clearly you have great genetics and also have worked consistently hard for 10 years. Cheers mate!

    Mike its first time I decided to write a comment on your Video, cause I feel like it is totally important to appreciate everything you do for people who love and care about their healthy lifestyle... I've found your channel about 6 months ago and it has totally changed my attitude towards numerous details which are immensely vital for building a perfect body. You have mentioned to try and find a way to enjoy the process, and believe me, your videos are key motivation for me (and thousands like me) to enjoy the process and never stop progressing. Thanks for everything you do for us and best of luck!

    Always quality info from the Thurstonator. So right about the time frame yes you'll see changes at start but not till my third year untill things started popping out left right and center. As you get more advanced you gotta take it to next level constantly too. All about angles and time under tension and hitting all range of motion for me. That's what gets me most growth.

    Despite all the haters that get in these comments just talking about “steroid this” and “steroid that”, I still think this is one of the best, most well informed, and most well put together fitness channels on CZcams. Even if he was taking steroids, do you really think that physique is easy to obtain? Are you fucking nuts?! That’s countless hours of busting ass in the gym and a crazy strict diet. Mike- I just want you to know, a lot of people appreciate the content you put out. It definitely helps a lot of us out and inspires us to get off our asses and hit the gym. I’m still new to this so my calorie counting and eating habits leave a lot to be desired, but your workout videos have truly helped me out in the beginning stages, so thank you for the effort 🙏!
