TOPICS OF TODAYS POD How to train and eat when you're "skinny fat" - Training for busy Dads - What to do when your protein shake disgusts you - Proper chin up and over head press grip - When you just can't seem to lose the "belly fat" - and much more If you want step by ste...

Yes sir! It's the new episode of "Mikey Likes You!" I call this that's my shit episode because I address things that I personally feel are important. These aren't necessarily foundational pillars but things that I've found a lot of people tend to get confused by. For instance, "what is TRT?" I get into TRT and what it is, how it's different from the common idea of "Steroid...

I posted a pic on instagram recently https://www.instagram.com/p/CWV6vMYLOga/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link I stated that this is my progress on a leaning phase to end out the year. Many folks wanted to know just what that meant. So in this episode I breakdown my exact training and nutritional approach, and give you tips on how to implement it. Yeah Buddy!!! If you'd like some assistance or just mor...

I am always a bit hesitant to talk about mental health, because I am a dummy. In my opinion, there are far too many people giving advice and guidance in the world of mental health, that shouldn't be. I am certainly someone who has and does suffer. Depression and addiction are part of my fabric. It is this familiarity that inspires me to do these episodes. I am scared that most of us are all too fa...

Funk Roberts is an awesome fellow. At age 52, Funk looks better than most of us could only dream of looking at any age. Of course there is discipline and hard work that leads to his amazing physique, but to me, the most impressive aspect of his success is his attitude. He's very well respected in the world of fitness and sports conditioning and he is an invariably authentic and positive force of e...

I love doing these question and answer episodes. You all do a great job of asking important and meaningful questions. I hope I give equally meaningful answers. This episode touches on meditation, caffeine, staying on your diet at restaurants, optimum fat levels, weight belts, bass players, misinformation in fitness and nutrition, and crazy Russian shit.

Everybody loves my wife. Judging by the numbers and comments, most listeners like her more than me. I'm ok with that because I am going to use her for my own selfish gains. She joins me to talk about our move to Texas, the uncertainty of life, parenting, dealing with self doubt, developing confidence and much more. It's always a blast when I have my wife on the show. I truly love her and we have a...

It could be "Bro Science" or "Man Bun Science." Either way, it's mostly bullshit. Most of the fitness and health world has been coopted by hippies and meatheads, all trying to advance their agenda and or increase their wealth. You're probably drowning in information, and I want to be your lifeguard. Let's dive into some serious bullshit and pick it apart. I sincerely want to help. Join me on patre...

Jared is the front man for the "Dirty Heads." I've known him and the Dirty Heads crew for a long time, because of my time at KROQ 106.7. Jared is a fantastic talent and a very good man. He opens up about dealing with addiction, ego, creating a better man in the mirror and finding authenticity. He describes how exercise has been a foundational asset in building a better life. A really insightful fe...

I am so upset at the idea of diet wars. Vegans yelling at carnivores and vice versa. Keto crew is ready to throw down with the low fat folks. Its stupid and not constructive.

In the words of the great Victor Fuentes (Google his 911 call) "too much information." There is just too much gosh darn information out there. That's why I wanted to devote this episode to giving you a breakdown of what you should and shouldn't focus on. There is a handful of very important ideas that will greatly impact your health and physique. There are way more irrelevant ideas that will just...

She gives a very thoughtful breakdown of her past hesitance to engage in "bodybuilding" style training and her attachment too many common misconceptions about nutrition. She...

I'm trying to toggle back and forth between Question and Answer Episodes and regular ones. I get a ton more positive feedback and engagement with these Q and A's. I want to give you what you want. This was a great session with great questions.

I've known Jay Campbell a long time. He is a very good man. He is well known as an expert in Testosterone and Hormone Optimization. In the last few years he has become an actual spiritual icon for me and many others. I could talk to Jay about sets and reps for hours, but we decided to discuss society and our collective consciousness instead. I really recommend listening and go to https://jayccampb...

I answered a lot of questions and I did it quickly. I did this pod right after leg day and I might have been a little over caffeinated. Oh well. You all gave me some good questions and I did my best. Fat loss and muscle gain, best type of protein powder, poop etiquette, details of my personal diet, healthy life while traveling and a bunch of other good stuff.
