Why Mike sound like a sleeping beast when he’s breathing 😭

2500 russian twists wtf
💀💀💀💀
Yup that’s Mike Tyson baby. You can thank Kevin Rooney, Teddy Atlas and Cus D’ Amato for that.
Bro I can’t even do 100 he pulling 2500 💀. Its not a joke when he says his body fat % was 7. Bro was plain muscle
cap as hell
@@starchild4627 no cap... mike tyson body perfectly shaped. without using weights. look at calistenics dudes they do the same
2500 is insane… but mike was also insane back then so it adds up lol
endurance
What he meant later in boxing career.?
@@saraths6842He means post prison. If you notice Mike in Mike's early fights he didn't really have definition to his body. He didn't have abs. He was just solid. After prison he was cut and had abs and looked like a straight beast. Go watch McNeely vs Tyson you'll see what I'm talking about. It was his first fight after being released from prison.
All chill like anyone can just go outside, preferred choice when doing little workouts, start busting out 2500 sit ups in 3 consecutive days let alone, ahhh just do 2500 of this a day. Ahhahahah now talk about the mindset plays a key role in our lives and how much of the brain is so important. Love these sports and contact sports, but when you see a player or person just get cold blooded ko his brain is off and on panic mode. I have epilepsy and dropped dead many times with having seizures so that’s why I’m leaving this message so long. Just interesting. My page shows a clip of why Im not able to drive anymore and I’ve lost a lot of memory being short or long term. I was barely 22yo when I had my “first” known seizure. I was 357lbs at my accident. After 2 years I put in the mindset I’m getting out of the house and walk 2 miles around the neighborhood, 1 out then 1 back home. In 60 days I was walking 8 miles a day consistently to a sleeping pattern that made me wake up at 4am and walk the again at 7am walk 2miles. I lost 100lbs. 357lbs-255lbs. I stopped because my knee buckled during one of the walks and I held my breathe and move my leg straight again but still being so heavy my knee needs some help now.
not really. never beat anybody great besides an old Larry Holmes. However, he did get beat by people that are not even considered great, got knocked out 4 times and got dusted by real greats like Evander and Lennox. Doesn't mean he didn't have anything to offer, he was great for what he did, but an extremely overrated great and people who revere him are usually casual fans who have never been in the ring.
Mike: Everything was beautiful. It was a beautiful time in life. Interviewer: What did you do for abs?
he said 2500 like it was nothing
he was prolly doing 5 sets of 500 or sum
Only because interviewer was talking over him.
Mike breathes like a lion 😂
Back problems
"It's not about working hard It's about working smart now" realest shi I've heard man everyone's trying to outsmart hard work but that's what makes a champion. Brutal, unadulterated, hard work.
Need both 👍🏼
Work smart. Then work hard working smart 💪
You don't need both though. The average American spends 5 hours a day on their phone or watching TV. Convert those hours into productivity and efficiency will be irrelevant. You'd think the person training smart AND working just as hard would have a huge advantage. But the advantage just isn't there. Look at how body builders train and they all have different techniques. Ask the best musicians how they practice and their sessions look very different. Kobe worked crazy hard everyday, LeBron focused on loads management and relaxing and recovery. It's hard to say who's better. Freedman and Einstein are the two smartest people of the modern era yet their lifestyle and study sessions were very different. Just don't be a complete idiot by only shooting free throws everyday and expect to make it on the team. Or try to learn Calculus by reading romance novels
Work smart and hard
Nah, just hard. There's a reason Tyson was one of the best fighters ever in his prime despite training "stupidly" When building a house it doesn't need to be built in the fastest way possible. Just get it built.
2500 Decline Sit Ups with Russian Twist 2000 Squats 500 Push Ups 500 Dips 500 EZ Bar Shrugs 30 Minutes of Wrestler's Neck Bridging Daily That's just for Strength Endurance Not including Jump Rope for Agility, Box Jumps for Plyometrics, Hill Sprints for Anaerobic Conditioning, and Road Work with Construction Boots for Aerobic Conditioning. Not including shadow boxing, focus mitts, slip bag, speed bag, heavy bag, and sparring. Daily Slept for 9 hours at night, took 2 naps a day one mid morning and one mid afternoon He ate strictly as fuel not for enjoyment When he wasn't eating, sleeping, training, he was watching tape. That's commitment. This is his training with Cus D'amato at Catskill, in my opinion when he was at his prime. Pre weightlifting outside of lightweight EZ bar for shrugs and medicine ball with sit ups and russian twists.
@@hunnidp2289 nah he just draggin it. theres a picture of tyson running in the snow so ofc he had boots on. but aint no sane person running in boots everyday.
Thats bs why would he repeat that same routine every day to maintain muscle
@@PrenticeIpanemia Don't just assume it's bs because you're conclusion based on your rationale of what makes a logical program. Simply look it up for yourself the training Mike did at Catskill with Cus D'amato. I'm either accurate and this was his training, or I'm wrong. Simple as that.
@@tylerscott2116 fighters lie all the time about their regimen because they need to disguise their steroid use. Sorry brother, this is the truth. Most of those exercises are not sport specific and none of the books on Cus D Amatos mention strength training, only mental training. Cus believed heavily in sparring everyday, simulating situations- he would've been considered a strength coach if he really made his fighters do these workouts but he didnt- and their are only 2 reasons fighters would: A) to disguise their steroid use for their shredded body or 2) to intimate their opponents and just make them seem more phyiscally strong than they are for glamour. Thats all
@@SalKay-ur5nk there's videos of him doing these exercises man geeze louise dude. I'm not trying to convince you or get into any type of argument, but this is just what old school boxing workouts look like. They're professionals that all they do with their life is boxing. If you would take a 7 to 5 job schedule and simply frame boxing training in there then the calisthenics program is very realistic. And they don't start off with that much, they gradually progress into that from a beginner. 1000s of reps of basic calisthenics isn't a camouflage tactic for steroid use, it's a legitimate combat conditioning tactic. Look up combat conditioning, lots of people do this, it's not mythical by any means.
Tyson is the goat u can hear him growl 😂
My boy is scared of mike tyson 😅
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life John 3:16’
And you're NOT? Be wise my friend 😅...
who wouldn't be, he can literally kill you with a punch
@@mariomirquis9393amen
and I don't blame him
Interviewer looks scared

May Jesus Christ Bless you! 🙏🏻
😂 for real. I don't blame him tho.
I would be scared too
As he should be...
Tyson said: it's not about working hard but working smart now
Yeah we all watched the same video....
He’s 100% right with age comes wisdoms
"It's not about working hard but working smart now", that's for real man old school boxers are superhumans
Mike is getting more cognitivly stronger, exercise is Everything
“It’s not about working hard, it’s about working smarter now”
It was Tyson's core strength built around his abdominals that gave him the ability to move his upper body in defence while keeping a solid platform with his legs.
I love this, listening to the teachings of Mr. Tyson is priceless 👌
best advice ever from Iron Mike medicine ball and alot of abs
“It’s not about working hard it’s about working smart now”
2500??!!! As in 2 THOUSAND 5 HUNDRED?!!!😮😮 Definitely see why this man is a BEAST!! #TrueChampion #Legend
Mike Tyson sounds quiet tired 😴 bless his heart ❤️
Mike's eye contact scared the shit out of the interviewer
Planks an Pull up's mixed with cross training. Planks are a game changer.
Love you Mike Tyson king of boxing 🥊🥊
When my dad was on a trip for the military or whatever the technical term is, he met and took a photo with mike in a Seattle air port. Its one of the coolest things i own, funny as hell too,.seeing my 5'5 140lbs dad standing next to mike 😂
“It was a beautiful time in life”
You can’t tell Mike nothing he don’t already know about fightin. The Man is the definition of knock out
Right and getting in shape
I would say it’s working hard and smart
Damn, the energy is up. 💀
Dude: What's the science behind your workouts? Tyson: Multiply by 25 hundred.
Tyson gonna bring boxing back
Did he just say.. 2500 reps????? What in the actual fuck mannnn
Thats what he did at home. DAILY. Then he went to the gym.
I'd love to Meet Mike ❤
“I watch enough Mr. Ballen, I know my place” Heather knows what’s up
2500 sit ups crazy
Tyson is like Bo Jackson, no weights required; body designed to kill.
Mike Tyson was not a boxer. He was an animal, a savage from a different time. The damage he could inflict l, the ferocity, and speed was just incomprehensible. He was a perfect savage in his prime!!!
And yet he lost. He’s human. Very human.
@@knowerzark even the king of the jungle loses
Da GOAT!
Be like Mike ! 💪🏽 🥊

@@mariomirquis9393 nobody cares
@Volk I do.
@rhys Jesus isn't real grow up
@@EXXITY he very much is.
The growling 😭😭
Mike Tyson said 2500 reps
Mike tyson will always be my favorite fighter. Reminds me of my dad from the hood upbringing to the unnecessary grunts and breathing 😂
He did it throughout the day
2500 medicine ball routines 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
lies brother...that's a guarnteed injury- after all the brutal training they do in boxing camp, this isn't even remotely possible i'm sorry- and its not even sport specific enough- maybe as a supplemental workout but not sport specific like close grip bench press, or even aerobic workout- doing this much resistance training would make him just a weightlifter and not one of the best heavyweights that ever lived- you cannot balance those 2 out i'm sorry. It's all just for show to disguise their steroid and PED use, and/or just to make them seem physically intimidating than they really are
He dosent do 2500 medicine ball he did sit-ups throughout the day
2500 in one day?!?!
crazy ash, specially since mike aint the type to lie
Yeah, boxing was his life at that time.
Every day. 1st part of training BEFORE going to the gym.
See when you think Mike must have alot of patience All the young guys asking questions all the time 😊
Mike Tython😭
I got a Ab Workout Mike...I GUARANTEE it will change Your Life....and it's only sets of 10!!!!!! I GUARANTEE IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
the famous abs "shredder" exercices LMAO
Nice. A craftsman of his trade and well rounded in giving stellar advice for anyone who wants to train like him in the future
🔥💪🏻🏋🏻♂️👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏃🏻♂️
Lucky he didn’t say “what kind of stupid ass question is that!? Of course I did strength & conditioning” … 😅
ikr, ridicolous question
I failed out of the University. I realize now it was all because of bad health. If I pursued physical fitness with the same passion as Tyson, I would have passed with honors. My mind was a reflection of my body at that time.
This man said 2500 lol 😂
Like a tiger waiting for its prey😮
the most casual "i'd do 2500" ever
z legend AllAh gifted
GOD BLESS YOU WITH GOD SPEED IRON MAN ♂️♂️♂️♂️🧭🧭🧭🧭😇🫥😇🫥😇🫥😇🫥💝😇🆗😇
Cutest beast ever
Thanks
My man Mike is just there for the paycheck.
Mike breathe like a sleeping beast
2500 Russian twists would make your ass fall out your body. tyson built different
It’s not about working hard it’s about working smart then mentioning doing 2500 Russian twist 💀💀
2500. Fucking hell
Mike looks like he doesn't wanna be there
At first I was like…oh, that’s it? I can do those easy. Then he said 2500 of them lmao
Damn iron mike doesn't age quick.
💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥
While you were talking over him he said he was doing 2500 situps/day. At home. THEN he went to the gym.
2500🔥🔥🔥🔥
Threw that 2500 in there as if it was nothing 😅
So this short played right after i finished working out...i had done like 90 russian twists...moment he said abs i thought cool i shall follow his set ..and then he said 2500 😅
Can someone explain why some boxers do like 3000 abs daily instead of doing like 10 sets of any weighted abs exercise to failure x2 per week I think it’s more optimal because you’re using more resistance and you have more time to recover and allow your abs to become stronger explain please?
Abs workout is not just for sex pack is make u quicker when u try to move
you're acting like they don't do the abs to failure or near failure on each set of their 3000 lol, just different beasts, also 10 sets x2 per week is weird and unoptimal because abs are meant to be endurance muscles and recover fast so you need to train them atleast 5 days a week
@@cix9420 am not acting like nothing bro I was just asking a question
@@cix9420 kzhead.infoCxXblTRO4QY?feature=share
@@cix9420 bro his questionhad nothing to do with goin to failure or how often u should train abs.🤦♂️🤣
He dont wanna be there 😂
2500 wuaaw!! ❤
Bro! 25 sets of 100 reps for just abs!!!!
2500!!!!!!!!!!! 😮
When you think you’re accomplishing something with 500 and hes doing 2500?!?! Its never enough!
Might have to work my way up to 2500 russian twists :)
2500 of anything is A LOT! 😅
You not lying
He just slips in 2500 so casually
Some guy asked him how much do you lift in bench press and he lied that he didn't do it. Liar
Sinus!!😮😮 cant breath through his nose!! I sound the same!!❤😮😮😮😊
2500 total or each side? Either way, beast.
Where’s the original video?
Why did bro look so scared
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WHAT
"Was strength and conditioning a part of your training?" No he became one of the greatest boxers in history by not doing that...
How much does Mike Tyson bench
Did he fucking say 2500!?
25 hundred 😮
Horrible question.. this mfer asked one if the best heavyweights if he did strength and conditioning 😂😂😂
He said he did it later in his career. Cuz prime mike tyson didnt weight train. He would just do body weight exercises only & sparred, mitts, etc.
@@terryscott2632 tbf bw exercises is still strength and conditioning, but didnt know this
@@DutchRofl bw aint gaining u strength. strength is gained thru excersises that u can only do 10-15 reps of. when u can do 100 pushups at once, u needa add weight
@@RobinXlone what u wafflin bout? Weightedd pull ups is still a bw exercise 😂
He said 2500 right 😮
Ask Mike Tyson "Was strength and conditioning a part of your training camp?" Straight up 🤡 🌎

Why is my boy mike so tired
You don't deserve to work smart if your not willing to work hard. A lot of you use the “work smart” to not work at all
Is this resistance based or exploshe
