Does SORENESS = MUSCLE GROWTH? (ft. Dr. Mike Israetel)

I’m a simple man. I see Dr. Mike, I touch myself.

Dr mike on his own channel: 🩺🤡💪 Dr mike on other channels: 🧠

This was a great discussion but DAMN that background music is distracting

I think the background music should be lower it's a bit noisy Everything else is perfect

Drop the background music

A gentlemanly discussion between two hosses is most welcome. I appreciate the discussion, especially the acknowledgment of the difference in the tolerance for type 1 error between scientific and coaching contexts.

I see Dr Mike I click

Need more of these healthy debates

I agree with Dr. Mike Israetel on this one.

I love not being able to sit down without effort. 👌

To me, soreness is one of the best part of lifting. It's a reminder of my hard work and I has helped me a lot of time to analize how to bulld my program. For example, my bicep are extremely hard to fatigue and sore (and that's true for a lot of people), so i started working them more often and with a very full ROM. Now they're growing much faster, all thanks to soreness. From personal experience, the only part of my body that can be almost not sore while still growing a lot is my back, but maybe it's just genetics.

This is such a cool discussion to see 2 Ph.D.'s talk about the research in there field :D

I'll always like being sore after lifting lol.

background music was really annoyinh

Great discussion!

I only know that no matter if the hypertrophy occurs even more when I'm plenty sore all the time, I need time in my life when I can do other stuff than recover from gym. So autoregulating soreness when it doesn't subside at all and is too intense, becomes something that allows life outside gym.

Some muscles get more sore than others for me, but I do enjoy a good soreness. Makes u feel like u worked hard on that muscle and can feel good with what you are doing.

As a fast twitch muscle fiber athlete who played at the college level, I can attest that I get sore AF from lifting. Always thought it was because I was going harder than everyone else, but Mike’s explanation makes sense since I was the most fast twitch muscle fiber guy on the team

Amazing and informative video.

I've never made gains without being sore and I've never been sore without making gains. It's a very good indication. Chase moderate soreness
