If Things Aren't Adding Up, Start Subtracting - My Newest Program 23.10.2024

I always like to give advice or guidance from a place of certainty. I am not a learned man, so I prefer to draw from experience and indisputable content. This is what I did when designing my new Apex program. It can be summed up as, "When it's not adding up, you must start subtracting." Do me a favor and like/subscribe so that I can be happy. If you're interested in more detailed assista...

The Hormone and Peptide Show 24.09.2024

Medical technology's involvement in the fitness world has never been more ubiquitous. This usually involves hormones and peptides. Considering their popularity, It's concerning how few people understand these compounds. On this episode of "Mikey Likes You," I give you an understandable yet in-depth breakdown of what hormones and peptides are and how you should or shouldn't use them to ac...

Questions Get Answered 19.09.2024

So, I solicited questions for a question-and-answer session and took over an hour to answer two. The reason being that they were two rather important questions. The first question was how to deal with an aggressive sweet tooth, and the other question was about addiction. I hope you enjoy this episode. Please like, subscribe, and tell a friend. Thank you.

The Best Pod I've Ever Made 05.09.2024

There is an idea of Michael Catherwood—Some sort of abstraction, something illusory. That was a line from "American Psycho," and I do not feel it applies to me. I focus this podcast around it, and as the title says, it is the best pod I've ever made. That is subjective, but I can certainly say this is the most meaningful and authentic podcast I've ever made. Do me a favor and like/subscr...

Lose Weight and Get Stronger Part 1 30.08.2024

Following my adage, "Lose weight and get stronger," you will have a better-looking physique. This is not debatable. Many people will try to debate this, but they're dumb. I feel so profoundly sympathetic to people who are motivated to change their physique but are also confused by the contradicting voices in the new fitness world. Lose weight and get stronger at the same time. Everything...

Sustainability, Acountability, Adaptation other Fancy Words 07.08.2024

This episode is very good, but I don't know if it's good. I also don't want to pretend I'm very invested in it. I am deeply and sincerely invested in providing useful or entertaining information, but I don't desire to do what I do now. I have met two dozen people in the last year alone who tell me everything I need to do to make this podcast grow. I silently acknowledge that all of these people ar...

Me and My Girl 13.07.2024

Inviting my ten-year-old daughter Magnolia to be on the show was a bit of a risk. She felt confident that she would perform well, and she absolutely did. We discussed healthy eating, body image issues, viral stars, addiction, and more. I was very proud of my little girl, and I think you'll enjoy the show. I would really appreciate it if you would like and subscribe, as well as leave a comment and...

Question and Answer Part 1 05.07.2024

De'Wayne is Ahead of the Game 26.06.2024

De'Wayne is a very talented young man who makes music that's hard to classify. That's often strange but in this case I mean it as a compliment. We discuss life, Little Richard, being sexy, Texas, L.A. and lots of girls. I highly recommend you listen to this conversation and check out his music. yeahdewayne.com and @yeahdewayne on instagram Do me a favor and like/subscribe so that I can be happy. I...

Music and Fat Loss: I Get Down To Business 14.06.2024

Do me a favor and like/subscribe so that I can be happy. If you're...

I'm Only Good at Two Things 07.06.2024

In life, i've only succeeded in two areas. Fitness is one of these areas and that's why I do this show. I don't think people are lazy and I don't think that I am particularly hard working. Please listen or watch this podcast and tell me if you agree with my take. I'm @mikecatherwood on instagram and the show is @mikeylikesyou1.

Health Comes First and Gains Come Later 30.05.2024

If youre desperate to change the way you look, it's understandable to makes choices that will speed up the process. Unfortunately, some of these choices can have negative impacts on your health and they're most likely not sustainable. Thats why I devote this episode to discuss how your health should always come first and then aesthetic changes will come as a byproduct. Melin hats are unique, and t...

The Non-Negotiable's to Getting Results 29.05.2024

I don't want you to waste time or energy on the thousands of things that don't matter. Mainly because there are about 5 things that really do matter. I cover, finding a caloric set point to meet your goal, macronutrient breakdowns, an optimal training program, and the rare supplements that might actually be worth your money. Whether you're just getting going or a seasoned vet, this podcast will he...

The Manly Man Man Show 21.05.2024

It wouldn't be prudent to do a Ladies Podcast if I didn't follow it up with a Men's Pod . Just so you know, both the mens and women's pod are very suitable for all listeners, each simply focuses on issues that are often gender specific. This episode gets into the cardio curse, fat loss and muscle gain, hormones, neck and forearm training and much more. Melin hats are unique, and they're perfect fo...

Hey Ladies!! The Episode for Women 18.05.2024

You women tend to overly focus on certain things and not focus enough on others. That is not meant as an insult, it's just an observation. SO this episode is about correcting the course for all you ladies out there. Nutrition and training is relatively similar between the two sexes, but there are a couple small details that I have seen far too often for me not to strike down. I hope you like this...

Kick Ass Q and A Part 3 15.05.2024

In the third and final installment of this question and answer episode, I bring it all together.

Part 2 of an Excellent Q and A 13.05.2024

Part 2 of my Question and Answer session. I dive into adjusting macronutrients, cutting behavior vs. bulking behavior, becoming a firefighter, improving pull-ups, frequency of number 2, (yes that's what you think) and much more. It's another really enjoyable exercise and I really hope you like it. My Melin hats are amazing. Right now you can get your own antimicrobial and waterproof hat for 30% of...

Excellent Q and A Part 1 09.05.2024

I have done question and answer sessions before, but none as good as this. I had to split it up into three parts because I received so many darn good questions.
