Mad respect to you Sal for getting vulnerable and sharing your struggle. Being well versed in addition myself, it's always great to hear someone fighting the good fight, and doing all the right things to improve their life. The ripple effect is also immeasurable. God bless you mate. And God bless everyone who is by your side supporting you on this journey. You got this!
I’m a trucker, and I binge your episodes while I drive around, all day and night. I love that you guys have made it a point to touch on the mental aspect of the fitness lifestyle, but what I most love about listening to y’all is learning something new with every episode and getting most of my questions answered unexpectedly. 💪🏽
Damn Sal! Your vulnerability with your parents and all your listeners is a huge deal! Thank you for using your platform to set this example. Accountability is key to making any hard change, especially when it comes to habits that are tied to shame or stigma.💜
Sal I feel like you’re the male version of myself 😂😭 I self medicated with weed in college for anxiety and I realized how freaking hard mentally it was. I’ve been in therapy since 2019 and the amount of self awareness I have now and how things from childhood trigger me, and bleed into my relationship with my fiancé is WILD. My fiancé and I started couples therapy bc I noticed as I was becoming more self aware I noticed he was doing what you do and able to shut down his emotions and feelings and it would manifest in our arguments. We love each other and are committed to being better versions of ourselves. Remember: being vulnerable is the STRONGEST shit you could EVER do. It’s very admirable and attractive when my fiancé is vulnerable because he’s trusting me and knows that I will be there no matter what ☺️
Hi beckahviolet- listen, I rarely comment but your comment struck me- in a good way. It's great to know there are good and dedicated women/people still out there. I was married twice and committed both times and didn't want either marriage to end but will probably never try again because people are always looking for the next exciting thing and true commitment is rare these days. I've learned that when people hit rough times in life- and we all do - the first thing they blame and want to change is their spouse but that's rarely the true issue. Both my spouses say they made a mistake and want to get back with me but I could never respect either for splitting up a family because they were "bored" at the moment. Anyway, I appreciate your commitment to your partner, which is a rare quality these days. I wish you both the best and with your self awareness, I have a feeling you'll both have many great years ahead! God bless!
@@jasonsmith2301wow thank you so much for your lovely comment! I believe loving someone and being in a life long marriage/partnership is a choice, you choose that person everyday you wake up and work towards becoming better versions of yourself. Relationships that are worth while are hard work because you have to be willing to hold yourself accountable for your own faults and be able to kindly let your partner know where they have room for improvement. I believe you’ll find someone who will choose you and continue to choose you and your children everyday, don’t lose hope! 😊
I saw that Documentary on Netflix, but as soon as I saw Dr Greger in the preview i said fuck this nonsense. Also I think it's cool for Sal to open up publicly about his struggles. I was the same way for a long time and I struggled with a porn addiction, drinking problem, got severe panic attacks,marriage was suffering, and I almost ended things one night in the middle of a drunk panic attack. Keeping the burden to yourself is a lot and can wear you down, luckily I learned how to communicate better with my wife, quit consuming porn, cut way back on drinking, found the gym and started lifting. But most importantly like Sal talked about i found my faith again. My wife and I found an amazing church near us and attended every week, doing Bible studies and men's groups. The best part is my wife is now pregnant with our 3rd child and we couldn't be happier. God will take his time but he will deliver you where you need to be if you let him. God bless Sal I will keep you in my prayers.
Watch MP long enough and you'll hear them giving you the perfect answer you were looking for by answering someone else. the fantastic four 😎THNAK YOU GUYS
I have battled with body dysmorphia and disordered eating since my teens. As a massage therapist working in a health club, having my own Pilates and massage studio, and practicing on my own…exercise and food can be amazing or torturous. I blew out my patellar tendon in October 2022. This last year has been rough. I’ve been gaining weight over the past few years. Not being able to run or workout like I used to is upsetting. The pain, muscle weakness, and sometimes limp from my knee is frustrating. I just purchased the MAPs over 40 bundle and Prime Pro. Thanks for all of your content and honesty. Let’s see how this goes! I’m so nervous about my body getting hurt again and training in a good way at this stage.
Sal, Thank you for sharing your personal journey so authentically. I send you energy, prayers and positive vibes. I know you will be successful and you are helping so many others by sharing. 🙏🏼🤗
Success is the product of daily habits not once -in-a life -time transformation .. " atomic habits book .. life is a marthone not a race" .. also atomic habits book .. I'm also trying to stop kratom .. your words hit my soul . And I felt everyone.. I feel now I have hope thank you .. let's pump that mind today !. I'm so proud of you for getting down to zero.. ❤🎉 also this is the first time I wrote this or said this out loud ..thank you again
I’m praying for you, Sal. I’ve dealt with vaping (horrible for one’s health) and I had to replace that action with prayer and reading the Bible. ”Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.“ Philippians 4:6 KJV ”that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.“ Ephesians 4:22-24 KJV BUT ”And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.“ 2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV I hope these helped encourage you!! I pray for strength during this time as well.
OMG!!! I am totally relating to Sal in his struggles. I am a very anxious person. I also have struggles with substances like supplements and Adderal (its ordered by a Dr), even coffee. When Sal said I always want to feel good, and then what Sal continued to say about not wanting to feel uncomfortable, I had an epiphany! That is exactly how I feel! I couldn't put my finger on it, but now, I'm like Woah
You can actually dry age with a simple fridge, just make sure you need a humidity sensor and a block of rock salt plus a fan. You also want a substantial cut of beef instead of a single steak because they loose moisture. So Costco rack of prime ribs are the best.
I only have more respect for you now Sal! Your approach sounds really good, especially the social aspect. Good friends can easily help distract you from your addictions until you suddenly realize you don't even miss what you let go of.
Love the show! I would never think to ask some of these questions, but they are especially helpful and often relatable discussion that have changed my way of thinking and how I set myself up for success. Thank you all for what you do!
Been training since I was 14 I am now 28 and have done all kinds of training in high school the military, bodybuilding etc. Ive always helped people with training like friends and family. I want to become a PT and teach people what I’ve learned. I love training people and helping them get better. I had not became a PT in the past bc I wanted to learn more and was nervous to but now I’m ready and working on certification. I’ve been watching you guys for a few months now and have learned a lot about other aspects of being a trainer that I did not think of. Learning all this has made me more confident moving forward so thank you guys!
Always impressed by the genuine humility you all display daily. It's remarkable how you avoid putting yourselves on a pedestal, always staying relatable. The care you extend to callers is truly amazing. Just...Pure. Respect and grateful to you guys.🙏
True that, the placebo effect is so strong that you can think yourself sick you can thank yourself paralyzed and you can even think yourself deceased. It's a wonder how you can continuously tell yourself something is wrong with you and your body will try to kill off whatever it is because it believes you, since our senses are what tell our brains what's going on in the outside world
Love you guys! This information is about replacing bad habits with something else is So obvious to me hearing it. Definitely changing my approach. Thank you!
Funny think about this subject is that everyone has at least 1 bad habit to work on. Guaranteed stopping/starting some habits makes us all better! Helpful physiological tips to improve yourself.
Thank you for bringing up this topic in behavior modification. Learning to replace our “bad” habits and learn to develop healthy habits can be a game changer not only for our fitness journey and physical health but can potentially benefit our mental health as well.
Thanks Sal for opening up, I know how hard that is.. I keep it all in til it blows! Newish viewer, so glad to hear the truth about exercise and nutrition being shared. No bs, no ulterior motives there. Thank you all for your work here 🙏🏻
I really like your advice on replacing a bad behavior with a good one that basically scratches the same itch. I am going to try this for snacking at night before bed. Thanks team!
I'm in recovery from eating disorders and focusing on strength has been a HUGE part of my recovery! 😃 @Sal I am SO PROUD of you and couldn't agree more with what you said about prayer 🙏 God bless you!
Nicotine was my nemesis many years ago. I quit more times than I can remember, in the end I stopped drinking alcohol which meant no more visits to the pub.
Somewhere along the way, people started thinking that feeling a wide array of emotions was bad. While they shouldn't dictate your life, it's completely normal to feel stressed or unhappy at times. We don't need to escape the feelings but rather use them to motivate ourselves to being and doing better in life.
Loving listening this show and wish I could find trainers this knowledgeable. The story Sal shared about training a girl with disorder just shows how much he cares.
God bless you, Sal. We all have struggles. You are not alone and you certainly help so many people. Keep being your wonderful, imperfect self. God, who made all things, made you. That says something. ❤
This episode was full of amazing things I needed to hear. It can be very helpful hearing about others stuggles and how they’ve gone about trying to fix them. I myself it 5 years sober today. I know you can do it Sal. Also, the whole conversation with the new mom. I’m 10 months postpartum and this child is 10 times more difficult than my first so trying to get myself back into working out more regularly and know that my “ health” at this point in my life is going to be completely different than what it was before this child. It was just yet again something I needed to hear so thanks Adam. Great show as usual.
Sal, this was so brave! Thank you for telling your story which will definitely help other people. I hope my kids would have this kind of discussion with me. I will pray for you too. You will be successful because He will help you and because you deserve it. Makes us all respect you even more.
Lol this also my forst year i do not have a new years resolution.. but imstead really started what i was gonna do 3 months ago.. so i can go into the new year how i wanna spend the year .. having more gratitude being my #1
As a relatively new trainer, I am always learning how best to help my clients. Your show always hits on amazingly helpful points. Any subject I am seeking further knowledge on can be found right here! Thanks guys! Looking forward to the Training in January! Edit: I made the first part of this post before hearing Sal being so vulnerable about his personal issue. And I am so impressed at his dedication to helping others through his own journey. Thanks Sal for this!
What I love about you Sal and the guys is you are always aware and willing to change for the better. Not close minded who tries to know it all. Best show ever, keep it up guys. Goodluck on the new journey!!🎉
hey sal, im amazed by your openness to your challenges. its extremely brave and commendable, especially when your telling thousands of people. but that just means that you are helping more people to manage their own challenges and realise that everyone has their own sh*t going on. keep going brother, much love and respect x
Doug, don't give tax advice! Your SS is penalized if you collect and work before full retirement age. The amount you can earn without penalty is really low
To build on Sals' "you don't know whst you don't know." Statement, I've known people with cerebral palsy who were in therapy to become more physically effective and they would say they weren't interested in walking, or riding a bike the trainer told me it seems odd, but it's never been sn option in their mind, so they Don't feel like they're missing out on anything.
Replacing bad behaviors with healthy behaviors is very smart. 🧠 My sweetheart and I were able to replace full-sugar soda with zero-calorie seltzer, and we feel much better! 🥤
I’m loving your show, it’s helping me a lot. I went through a bad year but I’ve managed to address those issues and I’ve been back on track for the past 8 weeks so working hard to getting stronger
43:28 if you guys want to try dry aging on your own lights I up UMAi bags you can use your current fridge and a vacuum sealer to do it. Many food RU-vidrs like Guga use it.
Amazing episode as a relatively new trainer this was so helpful, you guys always deliver.Sal blows me away with how he articulates.I can’t wait for the coaching course next week.I am in the UK so I might have to listen to the recordings 😢😢
So dry aging is essentially like the meat version of making cheese. For those of us on more of a budget Umai makes dry-age bags that you can place your slabs of meat into that you can then dry-age in your fridge. The slab you buy to dry-age make sure the butcher leaves the fat and such on it, you're going to lose 20-ish% of the whole that will need to be trimmed away, may as well have it be giant fat portions most people cut away anyways.
Sal- Maybe you should choose practicing yoga to train your Anterior Mid-Cingulate Cortex. If yoga makes you uncomfortable it will be more beneficial and rewarding to conquer that than to practice something you already know and are comfortable with. When you master it you could put out a new yoga training program for the rest of us that are intimidated by yoga ;)
Just finished YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. They got into the whole environment/climate thing by episode 2, which had nothing to do with the health outcomes of the participants, so that shows you what the message really is.
My news years resolution is to gain 10lbs of muscle 💪😝 My brother always says one day or day one. Im using the rgb bundle to obtain as much muscle as possible 🎉
It's so hard to not focus on how I look I'm getting up there and don't want to let go! Had a bad back injury about 3 months ago and had to stop any lifting I've gotten so much better slowly. Have low back disc degeneration L5 budging a lot going on. Now trying to navigate how yo incorporate the right exercises to not let myself go😢
Thanks for saving me some time guys! I have that twin studies documentary on my to watch list because I love that kind of stuff! Whenever I come across ones pushing vegan and vegetarian diets though I'm out!
There’s being alive until your 100-110 and then there’s living until your 100-110. We’re good at keeping people alive but your body still falls apart when you’re 40.
Y'all went 3-uncle family-talk on Tracy hahaha definitely train to make life easier, which will be easier as a woman, also as a woman with training experience
I did marathons in my 30s and 40s and stopped because it was hard on the knees and because I wanted to put on more muscle. I was a little confused when Adam was talking about cardio with weights as if it was a bad thing. I read Marty Gallagher's Purposefully Primitive and started doing weighted cardio because it can get my heart rate up for cardio and was easy on the joints. The inventor of Heavy Hands had single digit body fat and his arms and shoulders looked great, so why would cardio with weights not be good for someone that wants to strengthen their heart a couple times a week total 2-3 hours? Justin was right about peeing sitting down especially at night so you don;t have to turn the lights on and disrupt your melatonin, so Sal, get over it.
I'm a married latina with 2 boys, rotating shift schedules and having a hard time to trying to stay healthy when my husband isn't a health fanatic like me...he isn't opposed to my foods, but unless I cook healthy he won't help in staying on track or keep the kids aligned as well. It's frustrating and almost feel like giving up. Please help!!!
