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 yo…

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 ho…

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. Than…

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 …

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 g…

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. …

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 l…

It's been some time since I did a question and answer episode. I really enjoy these episodes because it gives me some objective proof that I am dealing with topics you actually want to hear about.

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.

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.

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 get…

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 mo…

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 ofte…

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

It's another really enjoyable exercise and I really hope you like it. My Melin hats are amazing. Right now you can get yo…

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.

I start this show by stating that I don't really like putting out content that doesn't, at least somewhat differentiate itself from other content. Even though I would get much more traction doing a show about hot-button fitness topics, it pains me to do it. So, today's show is about matching your motives to your goals. Oftentimes, I have matched my…

I created a new program exclusively available at my patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2666345&fan_landing=true. This Program is called SIMPLY THE BEST PROGRAM.

Listen. I am not an angry guy. Most people that know me on a personal level would support that claim. I do have a threshold, and when it is reached, I tend to lose my cool. Well, in this episode, my threshold was reached and I absolutely lose my cool. I stumbled across a fitness "influencer" who thinks it's ok to mimic and ridicule a developmentall…

I loved doing this episode because it really did come from the heart. I'm angered by the recent response to the episode I did with Judd Lienhard. Judd showed great wisdom and an open mind, yet people flamed him for it. Many people believe the world is binary. There is a right and wrong in their view, and I find that ludicrous. The human experience …

Judd Lienhard is a rare mix of awesome physique and high level performance. I loved talking to Judd because he has a very thoughtful approach to not only fitness but to life. Mixing speed, power and mobility in with hypertrophy is very wise but certainly not easy, so I enjoyed hearing how everyday folk could go about it. Follow Judd on Instagram an…

I really go hard in this episode. I want to hammer home the importance of diet. Far too many people ask me questions about training, which is important, but it's irrelevant if you can't eat properly. I think I do a service in this episode to those of you that want to look good naked. Do you want to look good naked? If the answer is yes, listen and …

It's never easy to make a big change. Not only do you find it hard to change your habits over a long period of time, you also have to decipher the most effective way to do it.

I liked the last Question and Answer session so much, I decided to do it again. Actually, I just got so many good questions that I a didn't have room for just one episode.

Cardio training is so misunderstood. Professional or competitive athletes have tricked us into believing that cardio is better for fat loss than other forms of movement. I'm not saying cardio is bad or shouldn't be done, but it needs to be at the bottom of the tier when you're trying to look good naked. In this episode I give you the nuts and bolts…

I am not going to bemoan the entirety of modern, digital content. I myself, create and utilize social media and digital outlets to build my career. I do strongly believe that the modern fitness culture is greatly distorted and the real victims are you who just wants to make better decisions. On today's episode I breakdown all of my issues with fitn…

Watching what you eat seems to become exponentially harder once Halloween hits, and that added pressure doesn't subside until the New Year. The holidays are festive. There will be more social gatherings and communal fun, and with it, reasons to stuff that face. I do not recommend abstaining from the increased culinary fun, but I also dislike the he…

Jay Campbell is a friend of mine and is undoubtedly one of the most prominent voices, if not the most famous, in the hormone world.

I've had the luxury o…

Who is an expert? This question has never been harder to answer. With very high appeals to authority and very little barrier of entry to the title, information in fitness has become dubious at best. I try to clear up the blurry mess that is modern fitness info and I address the new developments with the poor Liver King. Do me a favor and like/subsc…

I am a pretty even-keeled fella. I rarely get too worked on things, but I talk about three things that bother me greatly in today's episode. The fitness industry has tricked you into believing things should or could come quickly, and also, your sense of realistic body image is quite distorted. Lastly, I dive right into a critical issue: steroid use…
