“I think Mike wants your IFBB Pro card” - Fans weigh in as Greg Doucette and Mike Israetel’s online feud escalates

The fitness industry is filled with online feuds on the internet, and the most recent one is IFBB Pro Coach Greg Doucette vs. Dr. Mike Israetel. The never-ending battle has been going on for more than four years and still hasn't ended. Both fitness influencers make time-to-time videos calling out each other for their clashing views on training styles.

Recently, IFBB Pro Coach Greg Doucette uploaded a video on his YouTube channel titled "Mike Israetel Hates Me." In the video, Doucette explained the reason by sharing some of the old clips of the duo meeting in person and over some of the podcasts.

A few days ago, Mike did a video with Joel Seedman and expressed his criticism of Greg Doucette using some pretty harsh words. However, the IFBB Pro coach handled the situation calmly and let the viewers decide the outcome for them.

Greg Doucette has several clips of Dr. Mike talking about his constant urge for violence due to steroid use and said:

"He can't experience normal human emotions, he said it himself. I experience normal human emotions. Sometimes I get angry, sometimes I get sad, sometimes I'm happy. I experience a gamut a different array of emotions. I certainly am not a sociopath. Mike Israetel, on the other hand, if we're going to compare myself to him, who seems to have a better grasp of his feelings." [03:41]

Greg Doucette added:

"sociopaths they feel no remorse for anything. I've made many apologies to different people in my life. Mike is tell he doesn't know me, and so how is he going to sit there and invent and make up lies? Remember, this is the same guy that said coach Greg he goes out there and tells everyone he's a doctor when he's not. I've already made the video on that Mike literally lied. I mean, are you going to tell me that he never watched a single one of my videos that he actually thought I lied about being a doctor?" [04:06]

Even the viewers supported Greg Doucette in the comments.

"I think Mike wants your IFBB Pro card," a viewer wrote.

Another made a hilarious comment on the feud, writing, "This is my absolute favorite mean girls storyline."

One fan criticized Dr. Mike, writing, "Mike's issue is that he's allowed pride to limit his ability to take criticism."

A Mike Israetel fan showcased his concern and commented, "I'm a huge Mike I fan and he's getting pretty cooked in this one ngl."

One viewer gave a hilarious suggestion to coach Greg and commented, "When he made fun of your voice you should have started blinking really hard."

"Mike is angrier than last time because Gregg called him out on his mediocre condition for the competition. Mike needs to accept constructive criticism," wrote a concerned viewer.

Greg Doucette once called Dr. Mike "a guy with a ton of muscle"

In June 2024, Coach Greg uploaded a video on his YouTube channel criticizing Israetel over his physique, calling him "a guy with a ton of muscle". In the video, the IFBB Pro also compared Dr. Mike's physique to Flex Lewis, a former seven-time Mr. Olympia champion, to give a clear picture of Mike's physique.

"Being only 5’6, 225 is a monster; it’s literally bigger than Flex Lewis. Flex Lewis competed at 212 Mike Israete,l 225. He doesn’t look nearly as good. The aesthetics, his genetics for looking aesthetic far far below average, and so what we have is a guy with a ton of muscle with horrible genetics for looking aesthetic," said Doucette. [01:44]
