most of you won't be able to do that. In fact, I would damn guarantee I'm stronger than you. You're probably in better shape than you. I would actually recommend most of you people start you people [Music]. Hey folks, Dr. Mike here for Renaissance Critization, the creator of the RPI Pertrophy app, and a professor of sport and exercise science at Lehman College in the Bronx in New York City, in Manhattan, in the world. And guess who else lives in that world? Mr. Andrew Tate, a successful professional kickboxer, a successful semi-professional person who I think sells sex workers or something like that. I'm not sure on the controversy, but I do know he's in the manosphere, and I also sometimes identify as male. Let's review his workouts and see if his advice is up to muster [Applause]. Um, seven days a week, no rest days. It's actually a bad idea. Your body needs rest and recovery. It's when it actually does most of its growth. I would recommend the most advanced folks that are seeking the

highest levels of adaptation to their physiques and muscularity train at most, uh, six days a week, but, uh, most folks will get the best results training, uh, somewhere between four and five days a week. So, seven days a week is generally a bad idea. He's got a lot of exercise equipment at his home, so I guess house arrest is easy when you're frivolously wealthy. The chest press is a little, the reps are a little too quick for my tastes and probably not very close to failure, and I just move in the weight around. The range of motion isn't amazing, but because it's hitting that bottom stretch position, I don't have a ton of hate for it. Seems just fine. And it says machine press a thousand reps. Seriously, wait, hold on, I'm here, guitar. Oh yeah, okay, so he's doing a ton of repetitions with incredibly lightweights, which if you can do a thousand of reps of something in some workout, it's probably either catastrophically overdoing it and is going to cause more damage than growth, forcing you to spend

most of the next several well several days or a week or more recovering instead of growing and adapting or it is still profoundly easy because the weight is so profoundly light and you're so far from feeling anyone set that it ends up being a very poor use of time to not get you the best results. [Music] I have to make it harder for myself to punch myself. I'm actually 85 sure 800. Okay, so he's punishing himself for not remembering. Not really good for sport Science. Maybe with the RPI purchase app he could accurately log all of his uh inputs and not have to ask himself this question. It looks like he's using a full-size laptop which is generally I like to work out with a refrigerator-sized computer next to me at all times. There's a term for this in the hypertrophy training literature and it's called Junk volume. It's doing lots of reps but each rep is so profoundly easy and you never really get very close to failure so none of the parts of your

muscle that really grow the most: the fast twitch motor units they're called. They never really activate much, and so you spend a lot of time doing this. You accumulate plenty of fatigue, or in his case, not even that many because it's so easy, but you don't get a huge stimulus. If you did 30 total repetitions, but each one of them was a very, very heavy and very hard and was done in a very controlled cadence with a deep stretch, he could get all of the benefits and more of his workout without spending, I don't know how long doing this. Takes a long time to do a thousand reps. Single day of training. Tate's prison beast mode. Oh my God, it's everything I ever wanted out of a workout. In that jail cell, I had no access to a gym. I had no access to any kind of workout equipment. It was just me in a jail cell with you, with balls of water, holding them out as long as I could hold them out for, and then they'd drop to the ground. Endless push-ups had the time.

Every single day we trained. We woke up disappointed. We swallowed the disappointment, and we got the training. This is very good psychology. The thousand trillion push-ups and the milk bottles or whatever, that's just don't go to jail, and you won't have to do that kind of stuff every single day. What is your excuse? Ah, what is your excuse? Stuff. Look, training every single day is not a good idea. Again, six days a week, four days, five days is better, but sure makes for good memes. What else is entertaining other than a good meme? I don't know. Welcome to the Tate Fitness course. There's a Tate Fitness course. Unbelievable. Now, this fitness course has a very unique angle to it, and the angle to this course is staying in shape, having a good physique, growing your strength in as little time as possible. Sounds really good. This is not going to be one of those courses that talks about this muscle, that muscle, eat this, eat that. Okay, so nothing with actual content or information. Hardcore stuff. This tendon, this joint.

it's like I don't know any of that stuff. I don't actually know things. I just want results. I'm uninterested in all of that. Even when I was a professional fighter, I was completely uninterested in all of those things. Almost all professional fighters are, I can assure you. Even as a world champion, I was uninterested. I believed in hard work and dedication. I don't understand how hard work and dedication are antithetical to knowing what you're doing, but supposedly for mental bandwidth is small enough. It's one or the other. Do not believe in this muscle that muscle that enough. So we're looking for a fitness course that's going to sit there, talk about a whole bunch of science, science and garbage, garbage, yeah, then go buy another one, another one. No wait, wait, go buy another one. Hey guys, if you really like that, what you might really like extra is our extended edition of this video, and actually a lot of our videos occur in our members section. Hit that join button, and you will be whisked away into a

portal of magic, and by magic, I mean extended video editions of what you just saw. This is my fitness routine. I use to stay in shape, and the reason we're in my bedroom. My bedroom, his bedroom, looks nice. You could take away the civil rights of at least 20 15-year-old Romanian sex workers there, I imagine. Time to get canceled if you want to go to the gym and train for three or four hours a day. That's fine, idiot, but I know a whole bunch of people who dedicate their personality to being a gym rat, having a good physique, but they don't have anything else. Okay, apparently the other hours of the day, three or four hours of the day, is all of them, and they don't have anything else. They just sit around and play video games the rest of the time. Fine. What do you do with the rest of your time, Mr. Andrew Tate and friends of yours? Okay, yeah, you're in shape, so nobody cares, right? Unless you're making money, I don't see the point in dedicating that much.

time to it. It's a fair play. You got to know what you're getting out of the gym, and you can actually get a great physique if you have a minimal list of, you know, intelligent pieces of equipment that you're using in an intelligent way. Let's find out if intelligence supplies here. What you need are two mats. See mats? I bet you don't even need those, but we'll get to that in a second. You need a bar, which you can pick up for 10 bucks, and you don't even need a lot of weight. I'm a strong guy, really. In fact, I would damn guarantee I'm stronger than you. Unlikely. And I use 30 kilos of weight. Okay, dope. Max, the mats are not for you, mats for your floors, because I don't know if your floor is in my mind expensive. Yeah, the target demographic that buys these things probably does not have expensive floors. It's nice that he is expecting them to get richer over time while still adhering to his workout routine because they have all the time in the world to

get rich and import people against their will from various countries, forcing them to have sex. But whatever else you do for money, out of my business, uh, or you know, um, do other kinds of uh, entrepreneurial activities, then you get the bar. Now, this is gonna look easy, maybe because it is. I'm kidding. I don't even know what it is yet, but I promise you it's not. Promise received. So, I would actually recommend most of you people start, you people, what the, with 20 kilos. This is 30 kilos. The reason we do do these two particular exercises is I'm about to put graphic infuses. Oh, those are such cool graphics. I like that he didn't, I don't really like science, but like he's got science graphics. Every muscle group in the body, your legs, your abs, your shoulders, your chest, your arms, everything's going to be done with these two exercises, really. So, you start here, Burpee, back, lift it up over your head, camera guy, what are you doing? That's one. We're gonna do 25 of them.

okay, so a burpee supersetted to a not athletic clean and press does work a lot of the muscles of your body. Well, it's probably mostly a cardio workout and doesn't really get you very jacked or very strong. If you're very out of shape and you want to become sort of skinny and have some muscle like entertain, then that's a fine thing to do. That's 25, so you can tell I'm out of breath. I'm probably in better shape than you. Probably in better shape than you. I love the advertising. It's just quite direct. You suck, but you could be like me if you did this. In fact, you do it with 30 kilos. Most of you won't be able to do that. It's going to start with 10 kilos, maybe even 20 kilos. I like the progressive element, that respect. So, there are way more efficient ways of training, whatever the jumps train, than doing the jumps, and way less taxing on your joints and connective tissues. So, almost anything else when I do them.

try to get my hands up. That's just, uh, let me guess from your kickboxing days. Just good old muscle memory, old fighting habit. Wow, how'd I know that? This is great for his demographic because everyone in his demographic thinks they fight even though they don't. It's like, Yeah, man, always keep my hands up, brother. Just because, you know, like I've seen a couple of entertaining videos, I'm kind of like a K1 fighter. Yeah, yeah. If you're sitting here going, Well, why burpees, tape? Which muscle does my juicimus Maximus meet? My shut up, none of that matters. Damn, they're not bodybuilders, they're not science geeks. You're trying to have a good physique. Good physique means you're building the body in a specific way, which means you're a bodybuilder now. And if you want to have the best physique, then you want to know what you're actually training, which means you're a science geek. It turns out if you want a certain appearance, you are actually encouraged to think about it a little bit. You're

trying to get paid. I don't know what this has to do with making money, by the way. For the record, almost everyone who does this will not have a good physique. Andrew Tate did not get a good physique doing this; he got it training for years and years and years in combat sport and having generally good genetics, comparable calorie intake to his expenditure, and moves around a lot. That's it. In my personal experience, girls don't find that whole bodybuilder attractive, true. They find money attractive, and they also find the potential that you will sell them down the river and they'll never have homes again attractive too much. Is it too much? I'll back off. Let me tell you guys about the RP hypertrophy app. With over 28 preset programs already in the app, you can choose to make your own, you can modify an existing program, or you can just run the programs exactly as they were written by me personally. This app programs everything for you: exercises, weights, sets, reps, frequency, the whole thing. After every single workout on

every single week. The adjust to your unique parameters with every single input. We have over 250 exercises in the app with detailed video tutorial links to every single one. You never have to be confused about technique or form ever again. I'm guessing right now you're pretty interested in the app. Download the RP hypertrophy app today. These dudes who do that bodybuilding, it's gay. Gay. Very good way to make a critique that has no substance at all. Let's just call it a name, my man. I'm around changing weights, changing weights. That's for science geeks. So what we're basically looking to do is three exercises in one set. I like that his facial expression during this video is like he was woken up at three in the morning and told to film this impromptu. He's like this, Go on my face, bruv. I know you, son. All right, so 10. Oh, that's the worst technique I've ever seen. God damn. I wasn't ready for that. Don't folks, don't hide in your

upright rows open up into them. Get your elbows up and out. That will train your shoulders like it's supposed to. It looks like he's dying in there. Am I allowed to make these jokes? Like a Jewish workout, they just like recoil at the bill. Uh, it's a hundred dollars for breakfast. The stock portfolio came back and you had less return than you want. All day, I'm here all day. Terrible, awful. And he's using his legs too. I don't know why he's trying to make it easier for his shoulders. Maybe he doesn't want Jack's shoulders. I don't know. If I saw him doing this at the gym and you pointed him out, I didn't know who he was, and you were like, Does that person know what he's doing? I would say no, no, he does not. Straight away change your grip, straight away mate. Don't wait for it. [Music] Just moving stuff around. I would make a critique, but that would be filed under science and nerd and gay. Oh, that was so athletic. You

guys ever seen something like that? That's World Championship. I throw it up to change my grip. If you're not comfortable with that, you can hold it and change it slowly. My hands are now reversed. Guess what the advantages of reversing your hands? You get to lift in a slightly less comfortable position, accomplishing nothing on net balance. [Music] Now I've got a change of grip back to the original grip. Yeah, so once again, I throw it. Oh, I've seen more athletic catches in my life. I'm back again between those three exercises. That is all I use to stay in pristine physical condition. Yeah, I don't think he looks exactly. He's in pristine physical condition. He's like a guy that is tall and skinny and just smokes a lot of cigarettes and drinks and sometimes hits the gym, and you're like, Yeah, Frank, he exists. Andrew Tate is probably great for hustler advice, how to pick out cigars, and advice on how to take people who previously had genuine life trajectories and hopes and

dreams for themselves and imprison them against their will and use them for sex. Other than that, uh, I wouldn't go to him for workout advice because while it's not terribly wrong, you can do better almost anywhere anyway. Mr. Anderson, if you see me in real life, please don't beat me up, but um [Music] four out of ten, four out of ten, four out of ten. That's it. Don't cancel us. See you guys next time [Music] foreign [Music].
