I recently got sober. I would drink wine till I fall asleep and a chain blunt smoker. The past two weeks have contained stressful situations back to back. I have remained sober. My willpower and discipline grew strength each time I didn't fall back into old habits. Now I feel confident I'll be able to continue healthy habits long term.
Try and watch as many videos and get as much support as you can. I was stranded in NM and forced into sobriety and seeing and hearing the pain abs suffering from others helped me realize I was not any different. Sounds like your motivated but have the same surrounding so I hope you can find new habits and networks that support you. So many videos with Dr. PETERSON saying how great alcohol is and the need to find something more powerful to help stay clear. It's everywhere and celebrated by a sick society.
@@marcolezberg1837 Before going away for a weekend I prayed that God would take the desire from me. I have prayed many times in the past but deep down I knew I wasn't for real due to thinking of upcoming events. But this time I was for real when I prayed. When I came home Sunday all my desires were gone. And haven't smoked since. I use to think I smoked due to anxiety and depression. Now that I have stopped I see I was giving myself anxiety, always thinking about the next blunt and not running out, worrying about how am I gonna smoke before every task. And the weed was keeping me depressed, I was unmotivated to do anything I planned, ate all my food, and wasted my weekends by laying around and scrolling on my phone. Today I finished a 10k, and I go to the gym almost daily. I'm so joyful, and can't believe I use to live like that. A few weeks after I kicked the weed I stopped drinking and not being sick for a full day after feels great.
Babies are so funny. We totally love the look of fascination my daughter sometimes wears on her face. Introducing her to new sensations can become addictive. It's unfortunate that we lose so much of this as we get older but I think that curiosity and discovery is something we can actually learn from such young kids. The world is so wild and intricate, from the trees and creatures within to the impulses and cognition and idiosyncracies from person-to-person, to even something like the way a fridge works. General curiosity can truly enhance life and I think the world would be a much better place if more people practiced this more often.
I've heard in Russia they like to alternate suana and cold. Run out of the suana into the snow, then run back into the suana and warm up to do it again.
Adam is 1000% correct, after the first two minutes, it's so much easier thereafter. I'd do waist down ice baths for 10-12 mins between 40-50 degrees in HS & College for sports recovery. Low key miss it now.
I love listening to y’all’s conversations.. that are insightful and funny.. my favorite part is when you answer callers questions.. I learn so much from that segment.
This is such a fantastic episode! How does every episode feel like it's made for me specifically?? This is the episode that convinced me of the ice plunge!! Thanks again guys for everything!!
You guys are amazing. I’ve been an everyday listener since December and have lost 14lbs of fat since Jan 1, dropping me from 31% body fat down to 26ish percent. Thank you for everything you do, and I cannot wait to try cold showers!
Winner Winner! Please email Ann ann@mindpumpmedia.com with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up.
I have been doing "cold baths/ice baths" for years. I started recording it and it got really cold here in ohio to the point where the cold bath outside was in the 30's. Everyone would ask me why I did it, I would tell people the best reason to do it is the mental impact. The highs are just as high but the stressful lows are not as low afterwards. I'm like Adam I've been doing 5 minutes everytime.
34 yo navy vet with hashimotos thyroiditis just found your channel and it has changed the way I look at everything in fitness! Thank you! Can't wait to start one of your programs
WOW is all I can say 🤩Loved every single bit of this. I look forward to your podcasts everyday to quench my thirst for new knowledge You all Rock and please do not ever stop your podcasts!! Thank you Sal, Adam, Justin and Doug 😍 Have a Fantastic Day😊
Love all the stuff you just bring up. Mobility wall, cold plunge, and how you explain it every day people. Also, love all the stuff you guys talk about outside of Fitness. Look forward to each podcast. It helps me break away from the day. You guys are amazing.
Just wanna say thanks for uploading all this content, you guys have made a great impact on me and my health. I end up playing the podcasts instead of music when I’m at the gym now lol
Best line of the episode is when Sal sheepishly said: "that was super wierd cuz I didn't really say anything". Hilarious! Another great episode chalked full of helpful info.
Change is inevitable for everyone in life, and so is stress. Rather than letting it get the best of us, we can utilize working out/yoga/meditation to throw a punch back at that shit. So many people turn to alcohol or other coping mechanisms that might feel good in the short term, but ultimately causes more harm. Keep it up MP!
The armpit foam roll helps alot doing the dislocates on the diy pvc mobility stick 5000 too. Can usually creep my grip in a bit after rollin. Great for the front squats getting the arms and wrist to get in better position.
Michael wish I would have been listening to these guys before my mission. My dad served in Argentina he was a body builder in high school and gained weight on his mission he thinks it was because of all the bread and maté. He said it was easy to lose the weight after he got home.
The first caller you had on this really resonated with me as I set my calories to maintenance while improving my workouts. I am seeing strength gains and muscle growth but not sure when to go into my cut. I was thinking after I complete Aesthetic so we will see. Love the show!
Secret program! BOOM! MAPS Calisthenics! 💪 I will be praying for that gentleman on his Mission to bring the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to those in Argentina. God bless him and you guys at Mind Pump 🙏
Is there anyway you could get me in touch with Michael the guy from the second question. I also served a mission for the same church and have have some very good advice. The habits I formed while on my mission has shaped me to where I am today. I had to figure out a lot of things on my own so I would like to get him started off on a good note. Thanks
Hi guys how r u. As I told u earlier that I am so fascinating by Adams story of reverse dieting. I am 41 and I started reverse dieting in first week of March from 1500 calories( approx 14- 15 % bodyfat) before that I was on a cut and have slowly reached to 2450 ( decreased a little bit of bodyfat) calories per day as on second week of April. In these 45 days I have also lost one kg weight and my weight went from 68 kg to 67 kg. I am currently in third week of phase II MAPS ASTHETIC. Should I repeat the program or maps strong or something else. What next for me. Plz suggest.
I’d love to hear what you guys think on diet and exercise for people who work overnights. It’s difficult for me to consistent but when I do go I now try to focus on full body and 5x5’s
Ai is fascinating and scary. I'd say the first jobs to go are likely in adminstration. You know, the pencil pushers who's job it is to read through reports, collect numbers and fill them in a form to send it off to the next pencil pusher? You can pretty easily automate all of that now. And that's also where I see A LOT of the progress happening. Just cancel out all that time and money consuming administrative process. Example: Doctors spend at most half a day actually talking to patients. The rest is all administration. With bot in the likeness of a VIP...I dont think that's likely to stick. People to people contact is something that is valued in itself. Talking to a bot is just not the same. I've heard about experiments where robots where tested in retirement homes, which just made the people there feel more lonely. Now, recreating James Earl Jones as Darth Vader for "Obi Wan Kenobi" (WITH consent from the actor) is something different entirely. A lot regarding Ai's future applyication still depends on future/running court cases.
Sounds like the caller was raised on the more is more, go harder than hard, way of training. I think she will be surprised by her results in 6 months if she does what you told her to do.
Lol recently I looked at my gyms IG page. One of the trainers was on there so I clicked her profile. Long story short (she’s training a women who’s about 60-70. Very overweight. Found out she was a model and has guys begging for her that are married and half her age 😂😂😂”
40:07 Sal is completely right. A Democrat strategist on CNN admitted that he will help fund Trump's campaign for that exact reason... Trump is the best candidate for Biden (or other) to run against.
Hi Guys, i need an advise regarding Tennis elbow and radial Tunnel syndrome injury, i have been 2 months now suffering from it not able to properly train.. should i train it or rest it and are there any specific excercises or just train normally with lower weights.
46:15 Nah, you give the scientists too much credit Sal. I'd say we're not smart enough to overpower the biological response the processed food they've created is engineered to provoke in us. By the same token, neither are they.😅
I've been a footmodel for years. It's quite lucrative if you have aesthetically pleasing feet. I'm not ashamed of doing it, it's the only way I can earn a living (I'm autistic so in-person work isn't doable for me).
I sound just tlike the lady..doing too much, eating too little, and not seeing results. I want change and welcome it. Wonder what program would help me the most.
Wow I love how... weird you guys are. And you are only weird because you are what normal should be. You can have actual discussions where you explore ideas, venturing into disagreement but then sharing knowledge to evolve your opinions and even finding agreement. I really wish this weirdness could become normal again
