I do powerlifting and bodybuilding together. It’s a hybrid workout that builds shocking chest strength. These are heavy weights, so use good form – but don’t be afraid to go big.
This is one example of a Power Bodybuilding workout. Your weights and reps will change depending on where you are in the 12-week program.
Follow that program to the letter, and you too will end up with a big S stamped across your chest.
I don’t go 10-to-12 reps like a lot of people do. Here’s my little trick: I do low reps but a lot of sets. I like the poundage. I’m partial to free weights, but even with machines, I’ll just go heavy for 5-to-6 reps, even when I’m preparing for a bodybuilding show. I let diet do the rest.
When I go light, I fade away. Supermen don’t fade away. I’m a natural bodybuilder, always have been. Keep the weights heavy if you’re a natural bodybuilder and want to build that extra size.
I start my chest workouts with incline presses to target upper chest. I go heavy – of course – but don’t arch much. I bring it down in a nice, controlled motion. But the upstroke is an explosion.
For flat bench dumbbell press, use a spotter to help save your back. Watch your form here. Don’t swing or bounce it. Take it down nice and slow and then pump it up.
Next up, flyes. You want to take your arms far out to the sides, stretching your chest. Again, keep it heavy. And that’s it. But your chest will be annihilated, trust me.
I rest 3-to-5 minutes between sets. This may seem like a lot but I want to recover completely when I’m training for power and strength. The body needs it. Despite such long breaks, the pump remains. Credit – or blame – the poundage. It’s tearing down the chest; the fibers are just getting torn up right now, in a good way.
To sum up, go heavy, heavy, heavy. You’re going to love having that extra strength.
Don’t be me. Be better than me.

Lmao cowbell
Why should he not be natural? He looks like this since at least 25 years and he trains since 13 years old. Stop complaining guys and work on your own stuff to achieve something.
It’s kinda weird how in this video he actually looks natty, whereas in most stuff he doesn’t
omg that stronghold legends soundtracl!!!
See here mike looks fully natural and he’s like 41-42 but now at 50 he looks like he’s on some gear. Very odddddd !
Awesome! I have a very similar style..but with a full body routine. Definitely going to try the split and see if my strength goes up.
Mike O'Hearn is the God-Emperor of Fitness!!!!
is he wearing make up?
These Mike videos from 6 years ago are cringy to watch
Mike O'hearn looks perfect as the next Captain America y'all.
What you guys think about jawzercise??
I respect Ohearn big time. He's not natty no matter what he says… But he's strong as a bull, works his ass off, and looks 25 at 48 years old.
With an FFMI Of 30.9 he's as natty as Phil heath and kai😂
I know the best online workouts guides. Go to Unflexal and get the best workouts instructions.
hey haters first do what he did there after you trained like 30 years then argue about he is natural or not, but those who never experienced how lifting that much is why complain about his form and body???
"Combinate."
He is strong AF.
I'm not good at English.
Someone,please tell me about his Incline barbell press.
Push every set to the limit? Or chose wight to reach the limit with the last set?
the 2 best fitness guys out there… mike the titan and steve the cook 😉 real inspirations…

Mike O'Tren

Working out being a passion is like being in love with mopping the floor. it's maintenance

hes a natural bodybuilder ajajaxd
How can this be considered powerlifting if you don't do the benchpress?
Natural bodybuilder? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
cade Renan?
He's has a great body and good strength…too bad it's not achieved naturally…
You can say what you want, mike is strong as forkkkk
How is 315 super hard for him here, but in other vids I see him do 405 with the same degree of difficulty. Other people have vouched for his 405 incline for reps, but this vid makes me think it could be fake.
as much as I'm not the biggest fan of this guy. I do like the way he trains. low reps, heavy and take as much time for recovery.
Gotta drop those 150s on your balls to kick in your natural trenbolone production
Awesome…
Every time the word natty is used Black Baby Jesus sheds a tear. Remember kids, try not being sheep even for a day.
Mike o'hearn= why girls hate bodybuilders
