For some reason, just over a year ago, something switched in my head my motivation went through the roof! In over a year i have only missed about 15-20,training days. That consistency has made me into a new person.
I’ve been trying to motivate my wife for years to work out. Trying to find different kinds of workouts that would make her “love” or “want” to workout to get the results she says she wants. It’s been hard. But listening to your podcast has definitely helped me understand her not loving to workout but wanting results . I’ve always loved to workout and I guess that skewed how I presented exercise to her. Thank you for all the useful information! Love the show , keep it up!
how did you create your nutrition plan? I dont know where to start -do i calorie track, macro track, reverse diet? I am currently doing SL5x5, 3 times a week. new to the gym, around 211lb weight, 30% body fat. Right now I’m just hitting protein for my weight, and eating fats to satiety, and carbs low (in general, I am around 2000-2300cal).
Once again, my daily Mind Pump hit 🥳 So grateful to you all; my partner has been diagnosed with terminal melanoma, and it has been a privilege to introduce him to your positivity and humour. Thanks for being you!
This is where the MAPS programs are so valuable. Picking a program that realistically fits into your life and schedule, whether it be 6 days a week, 2 times per week, 15 minutes a day, at the gym, with a suspension trainer, or just body weight, having a good program you can go to whatever your circumstances is invaluable.
I listen to you guys daily & have been listening for 5+ years. The content that you guys put out is incredible, especially for a fairly new personal trainer like myself. Y’all really help ease my anxiety regarding training my clients. I sometimes worry that I don’t know enough and feel very prone to imposter syndrome, but I always know to watch a Mind Pump episode and I’ll learn more than I planned to! I appreciate you guys beyond words!
I have been an ultrasound tech for 30 years. I attribute my injury free career to weight lifting. I tell all of my younger techs to lift and listen to you guys to learn how to do it correctly.
I have recently started lifting and concentrating on strength. I don't have it perfected yet but I am working on it. I found Mind Pump. And I love you guys. I spend my extra time listening to you. My lunch hour is now spent with you. Thank you!!!
It’s crazy how much personalities can differ when it comes to working out and challenging oneself. Learning to communicate with my clients by listening and just learning them has been helping me out tremendously. Bless you fellas 💪🏾 #HARDway
Thank u all for what u do! I’m 41 years old and am finally paying attention to my protein and strength and how I feel rather than the scale after years of low calorie dieting. It’s a little scary feeling my pants get tighter but y’all keep reminding me to pay attention to how I feel and my energy is amazing and I recently saw a new muscle in my arms that I never had before lol 😆 Thank y’all!!
My diet is fine now thanks to you guys I’ve jumped my protein up to 200-250 vs I was doing omad diet. Getting to the gym was difficult. I work long hours I have a wife and 3 kids so I built a small home gym and now I workout 6-7 days a week for 30 min and my kids will occasionally workout with me. So now I’ve got a winning program
WV! YEAH, PEYTON! 💙💛 Thank y'all for taking a question from a big ol country boy from the mountain state! Wish we had an east coast Mind Pump group because we need y'all over here!
A realistic routine and program always includes the newest episode of mindpump! Since I discovered you guys a year ago, I have been as consistent in my diet and training as you guys have been with releasing new episodes. I'm Greatful for your consistency and motivation!
I always tell my clients "your fitness journey is YOURS, we can be doing all these exercises, but at the end of the day it comes down to what you put in your body". For the most part my clients leave our sessions empowered, yes the exercises can be challenging, but they push themselves because they are seeing the results
It’s always nice to hear valid advice being taught by MP from people who know what they are talking about, vs others who regurgitate bro science across social media.
I enjoy listening to you guys talk about cannabinoids. I’ve been working with cannabis for a few years in different setting. To help clarify.. the terpenes of the cannabis plant determine the kind of high/effects you have and the THC percentage determines how intense that high is. You can find terpenes in other plants as well like garlic or mangos for examples. I hope this helps in some way !
Great episode once again! Maps Anabolic is not in my library yet… cough cough… but just here to support your channel! Keep entertaining and providing great knowledge!
@@MindPumpShow yeah I’ve been wanting to get your RGB bundle because I’ve been wanting Anabolic and Performance! But I’ve ran Symmetry and just finished Powerlift so I’m going back to Symmetry to fix any imbalances and hopefully by then I’ll win the RGB bundle haha😅👀
Thank you for the informative content. I’ve been listening for a few years and have learned so much from you guys. I started coming to you guys for fitness content, but now I find myself enjoying the conversations you have about topics including fatherhood and mental health. The knowledge I’ve received from the podcast in invaluable. The impact you guys make is immense.
51:33 that makes sense because I’ve had indicas that were waaaay mentally stimulating to the point of being uncomfortable when I was just trying to melt into my couch w some friends lol
I've been going to bed listening to you guys here lately..... but definitely doesn't mean I'm ready to play 'pillow fights' with Sal... 😄 Hooyah Mindpump!
Maybe the answer to your grip/calves conundrum lies within the intrinsic musculature of the feet and hands. Feet are generally (not always) imprisoned in a shoe thereby inhibiting the muscles in and between the metatarsals to atrophy in a sense from underuse, but calves are developed by means of gross movement of the feet by means of plantar and dorsi flexion. Hands by contrast are always front and center manipulating their environment. I have to think it through further. But maybe there's something to it. Or maybe not. Sunny Days, Gentleman! You guys are top shelf! 🌞🌞🌞
I just started weight training for a month now and I am 55 years old prior i ocasionaly went to the gym for cardio only (Was a runner until my injury 5 years ago) this is my routine to be changed once a month Day 1: Traps-Deadlifts-Assisted Squats (ankle injury makes doing reg squats VERY painfull) Day 2: Chest- Biceps- Abbs Day 3: Back - Triceps- Shoulders REST Day 1 Day 2 Day 3
Listening to your podcast ruined everything I thought I was doing well (and didn't know why I couldn't succeed 😅). I am still struggling to understand and implement the best strategy... thank you for all the information!
i felt attacked with the two unspoken rules 😭 i’m better at deadlifting than benching, but somehow my grip sucks and i find myself skipping calfs some days because i look at them and they just grow on their own 🤣
Started anabolic yesterday but incorporated trigger sessions beforehand when I heard about them. The programming is so different than what I am used to but I’m excited to push for more weight on lifts and get bigger. Thanks for all the knowledge guys!
After a life time *52* of dieting, under eating (listening to doctors "eat less, exercise more"). Trying to repair my metabolism, what are things to look for? I've finally got up to 1550 and packing on the lbs! I don't want to go back to starvation...seriously seeking suggestions!!! Help
Calves so big I would copy my text books on them to cheat on tests. 😂 Great pusher with average grip strength. 2nd week of maps bands. Really enjoying the the break from weights while recovering from a shoulder injury. Great content guys! Keep it up!
Great to have found this channel. I’m loving the practical advice. I just embarked on the 6 day 20 min workout and I’m focused on lifting and improving. Oh, definitely increasing protein. Do you train clients virtually?
Judoka, climber, deadlifter. I got some strong pullies, can’t bench to save my life! Calves are toned and I’m satisfied with them, but they’re definitely smaller than I would expect given the workload.
So the first subject is making me wondering, every body is unique and so their programs, so why selling premade programs? Is it to use as sample or to follow step by step?
Honestly, I think he would do better training the Zercher deadlift&power cleans versus regular deadlifting, esp when it comes to getting stronger with grappling because grip was covered, yet your hips need more range of motion, with much tighter lats (from the natural supination of the zercher), but you also need to be able to absorb impact and the power clean will help far better than a deadlift for that. Defibitely deadlift but not as much as you think. Sandbag training is also beneficial because grip back&hips all get trained from something not stiff/rigid. Even rucking can help because of the breating while maintaining posture effect, And the traps will get an overload supporting your shoulders if you're wearing a vest vs backpack. You can also get some extra work into your posture muscles with power snatches.
I was in the army with a guy who was like 5'4 and built like a fire hydrant. He could do push ups for days because he had such short arms. I'm 6'4 with long arms, so when I do pushups I'm traveling twice as far as this guy. Lifting has so much to do with limp length and most people don't realize that
The Grip/Calves theory is brilliant! I'm definitely proof of it. Zero calves, excellent grip. I think you're onto something, find an elite climber with massive calves...
I used to save a lot of answers in my graphing calculator which I bought a keyboard for so that gave my calculator a cover that's also a stand and I would use it in every class
Relatively newish lifter and would like to start BJJ/Judo. If I did anabolic two days a week how many days of BJJ would be enough to train the skill without overtraining?
Hahaha I had a teacher tell us we can cheat but if we get caught he’ll fail us and send us to the principals office. I took it as a challenge and used the clear pen trick.
I have good calves (but they weren't genetic softballs ) I have an incredible ape-like grip. I am an incredible pusher but I have short arms so straight bar deads are tough (even though I've hit some big numbers)but I can pull a bus with a trap bar because I can get a stronger posture.
I've always hated the phrase "I'm going on a diet" - It presupposes this is something you're going to get on for a result but then will get off of it once the result has been achieved - Also, it doesn't acknowledge the person was on a diet, just not a very good one...
I listen to you guys everyday before I workout and than at work afterwards, quickly replaced many other podcasts I would watch. Keep up the great work guys.
I bought mods chest but it wants be to do 9 sets for chest three days a week? Like 28 sets in weekly total? I'll never recover I usually do 12 total sets per body part a week
