Mikey Likes You with Mike Catherwood

Doug Brignole is one of the first people to positively influence me. He has been at the top of the fitness world for close to 50 years. This man is utterly devoted to resistance training and physique development. It was a real pleasure to sit down with him and chat about proper exercise selection and technique. I highly encourage you to familiarize yourself with his work at DougBrignole.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 stress you out and drain your motivation. Take a listen and hopefully we can make love later. Wait...I meant chat about it. Yeah, that's what I meant.

Kyle Kingsbury is a retired professional MMA fighter and now the Director of Human Optimization at Onnit. He was nice enough to chat with me inside the Onnit Academy in Austin Texas. I really like and admire Kyle and you'll hear why if you listen. We chat about insecurities, the shadow self, progress, adversity, modern masculinity and so much more. I highly recommend this pod my friends. kingsbu.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know the deal. You provide the questions and I do my best with the answers. A great session once again. Just some of the topics we hit on...Trying to lose fat when you're naturally skinny, not seeing eye to eye with your partner when it comes to eating, the amount and frequency of weight training for your goals, walking for cardio, what to do when you plateau, meal replacement shakes, workout music, dick size (yes for reals), trouble with pull ups and much more.

Bianca Kajlich is a superb actress and an eye catching beauty. She is also the luckiest person on earth because she is my wife. Bianca and I discuss her new found love and excitement for weight training, and its many benefits. 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 also eloquently explains the positive emotional effects of this new approach to the lifting and eating. In a little under a month, my wife has achieved amazing results and transformed her outlook on food. Bikini Olympia Champion Janet Layug (@janetlayug) built her programming and Bianca sought out lots of thought provoking information regarding diet. She has leaned heavily into animal based eating and to even her surprise, loved the results. This is one of, if not the best podcasts I've done under the Mikey Likes You banner. My wife is a special person and if you listen, I think you'll agree.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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. How to begin with weight training, the nuts and bolts of fat loss, info on SARMS, German Volume Training, gaining muscle without getting fat, how my training has changed as I've aged, how I remain motivated to train hard now that I'm an old fuck, weighing food raw or cooked, plant based protein and much more.

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://jayccampbell.com and check out all his amazing info and books. I loved "The Metabolic Blowtorch." Also take a look into what he has to say about spirituality. There is way too much info out there hoping to upset us. It's very marketable these days. Why not invest the effort into someone trying to uplift and heal. He has a hair and cosmetic company https://aseircustom.com and they make the best products on earth. If you put in the code "MikeC" you can save 15%. His hair regrowth stuff is better than anything else.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

I definitely went in an unexpected direction this week. I recently realized my own mortality in a vivid dream. I went nuts and started thinking about the mass suffering and the horrible vitriolic slander we've been throwing at each other. Modern times have created a world that leaves us empty and yearning for purpose. It seems like when we try and find it, people start criticizing. I don't know shit about shit, but hopefully you can relate to some of the things I say in this podSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
