Me before Mind Pump - hours and hours of Yoga, Pilates and Barre, sometimes two classes a day. Eating no more than 1800 calories a day to maintain. After four months of watching Mind Pimp daily - no more group fitness classes to joining a gym, following MAPS Anabolic and increasing calories to 2200-2500 a day to finally building muscle and strength. THANK YOU! ❤

I have to comment again! Yes, sales is EVERYWHERE! We are always selling. If we are not selling, we are being sold. Salespeople move the economy! When I was in sales I did so well because I listened to needs. Sales is such a skilled job.
i love how Adam has been suggesting for callers to come back on more often recently! since many of us have been listening for such a long time now, we can often predict the answers to the questions, but the part that is actually challenging is the following through! so even having "unsuccessfull" callers come back on could be really useful, to see where the challenges are etc.
Sals point from 6:00 to 8:19, I have a buddy I work with that thinks he knows everything, try to explain to me how bad lifting is for anybody to do, and how it just leads to back problems and what-not, coming from the very guy who never did any lifting or working out and had to have two back to back surgeries on his back. I tried explaining to him the point Sal made, but it went in one ear and out the other with him. Some ppl just don't want to listen. Especially when it comes to fitness because it takes work, and most ppl are allergic to work these days.
Ya a lot of people don’t understand that when applied appropriately, strength training actually makes the body far more resilient and less injury prone. I healed chronic lower back pain by getting strong at bent over rows and hip hinges haha
I just started deadlifting for the first time. Stayed away from it because of those stories about them destroying your back... but I love them! Feel way stronger since I started doing them and I'm not even lifting too heavy. 265lbs is my max so far.
@alansmith4655 like the MP guys always say. Just take the time to learn the movement and perfect the technique. Been deadlifting for 6 yrs now no issues. 520 max deadlift comp.
I chaperoned a school filed trip at a park recently, and an older female teacher commented that she wished we had the energy of kids. I casually mentioned that strength training has given me that (along with better sleep and strength, healthy joints and looking younger). My only pro tips to her to get started were to eat enough protein and ensure she took adequate rest between sets and workouts, so her lift didn't turn into cardio... Then I traversed the monkey bars just to prove my point 💪.
Rest periods were a game changer for me. I spent a couple years doing certain very internet-famous, high-volume dumbbell workouts on RU-vid and gained minimal muscle and maximal soreness, fatigue and overuse injuries. Now I’ve done MAPS Suspension and am on phase III of Symmetry, am doing less, resting longer, and recovering from every workout while still seeing strength gains. Love your programs!
100% agree with Sal on sun exposure. Imagine cutting out 95% of your typical gluten intake from Labor Day until the next Memorial Day and then summer comes along and you go try to eat a bunch bread and pasta. You would feel terrible and likely get very sick. This is what we do with sun exposure in our society.
This is great. I work from home and I've been doing a move then working then doing a move. So the workout will literally take me all day. So glad to hear this is beneficial because I was feeling kinda guilty about it.
It’s a chill Saturday morning at home with rain. I want to hit upper body today so I am stopping and doing a set of lifts just every so often as I am cleaning house and picking up, engaging with kids, watching this video ❤. Just natural longer moments of rest between sets and it’s kind of a fun way to workout at home I’ve been finding compared to busy week days when gotta hit the gym and get done and out.
I've been a member of a Crunch Fitness club since the beginning of this year. Interestingly, I remember the sales guy who took me on the tour and answered my questions and introduced me to my favorite trainer and sold me on both the membership and 3 months of pt sessions. And he remembers me by name, even though he probably sees hundreds of people a week. He's always friendly, asks how things are going, and commends me for how regularly he sees me there. To me that's what makes a great sales person. Sure, he's doing his job and he understands that in the gym environment the sale never ends because you want your club members to maintain their memberships, upgrade, enroll in pt etc. But he understands how to do that in a way that feels like I'm saying hi to an old friend every time we stop to talk for a bit. THAT'S how you do sales! Not to mention, I see him in there working on himself and getting his own gains, which is just as important for sales people in the gym environment as it is for the trainers.
They talked about rest periods the other day. It's a nervous system issue which is why overtraining is commonplace, because folks don't understand how the growth happens in the recovery
Man just got muscle mommy but now I will also have to get GLP-1 workout program when released!! Been on Semi for a month staying on .25 for 4 months LOVE IT. My snack monster was always winning.. now I am!!
Me and my daughter have been on a health journey for a year and I use all the info I learn from your channel!! Down 13 pounds so far. Slow and steady ❤
I'm hooked on you guys. Not only have y'all helped with my health and fitness,but y'all have been fun to watch. Listening to your stories has been relatable.
So I started taking longer rest periods because of you guys. And it's only been a little over 3 weeks, and I already noticed a difference in my lower body. I am 37 and a full time working mom, so I am used to speeding through my workouts to get it out the way and I do it in the morning before I take kids to school and head to work. And I am also tired!!! So, I only rested for a few seconds. And I would superset very often. But now I rest between 2 to 3 min and I don't feel that fatigue I would feel before during my workout and my muscles are poppin a lil more. So thanks, guys!!!
I don’t know why, but I was scared to take long rest periods. After watching y’all I finally started implementing longer rest periods and I’ve been able to increase my weight almost every time I go to the gym! Thank you!!
Such a great topic. I train women only in middle age demographic and this is a very hard concept for them to follow. I’m sharing this with them, too! Thanks!
I've been getting good results with the X3 workout. I would have never guessed that just one set of each basic movement, to complete failure, would give me such good results.
Another reason for the turnover in PT is the brutal hours. Successful trainer have to grind from say 6am to 7pm during the week in addition to Saturday morning. You have to fill your book with midday clients or you will be working side gigs to survive. Dead time is literally dead time for your career as a Personal Trainer.
yeah chasing clients sucks for any business, you're on their schedule. I know a guy that's athletic trainer for a major MLB team and he makes about $300k. High travel job but at least he doesnt have to chase clients.
My current goal is to increase my rest length periods based on your advice. I’m very inpatient so I physically have to stop myself from grabbing the barbell too soon and go walk around the gym for another 30 seconds. Lol. But I’m getting better 😊thanks a million guys
I am 61 years old and I have a very tiny frame. I have 3 autoimmune issues including Celiac Raynauds and Sjogrens. My percentage body fat was 48% at only 170 pounds. I have been working with a trainer for one year and we are making progress. I started at 40 grams of protein and I am now up to 100 grams. I have never had an appetite and most of my adult life I was eating between 800 to 1200 calories. I was athletic as a child, swimming, ballet, and was outside all the time until I was 12 years old but had a near death experience and a coma then due to a boating accident. Now, my percentage body fat is 41% so some progress but the weight is the same. I am lots stronger but am finding increasing calories is hard though up to 1800 calories or so. When I started I could not even lift a gallon of water. Now, I can do a goblet squat with a ten pound Kettle bell so pretty good improvement I guess. Too much chocolate and sugar still though trying to let that go. Any ideas where to go next? I would like to get to 25% body fat. Thanks for listening.
see, if you work from home you can do sets on your breaks and between meetings. You get in a workout AND the benefit of getting your blood flowing well and that honestly helps with staying sharp at work.
I have also heard that polyunsaturated fatty acids (seed oils) have contributed to the rise in skin cancer. Looking at the timeline of seed oil consumption going up while time in the sun went down and skin cancer rates have been on the rise ever since 🤷🏼♀️
Great advice, guys. I think I take too long of a rest break some times. Good to know it isn't an issue (except for the time it takes to get done, of course).
I take long breaks when doing my partial deadlifts, I have gone from 135kg to 165kg over the past few months, because it’s the only exercise I do that day and come back to it a few weeks later when my mind says go instead of forcing it each week
Dr Milo Wolf or Menno Henselman recently discussed a study that showed differences in rest periods. The overall takeaway seemed to be that optimal rest times were roughly 2 min for upper body and 3 min (or more) for lower body moves. I typically always lean towards the longer rest periods…..💪🏼 Surprised that Dr didn’t put the guy w/hormone questions on any type of anastrozole…..
Also with sun exposure, diets high in polyunsaturated fats (seed oils) result in thoe fats being incorporated into (ex. skin) cell membranes. They are more easily damaged by UV then compared to skin cells with higher amounts of saturated fat incorporated into membranes. Eat more (only!) saturated fats.
Great stuff! How would you compare GLP-1 to reverse dieting? Is reverse dieting necessary anymore? What is your metabolism like after strength training while on a GLP-1?
Why can the police act upon "possibility of a crime", yet we dont see "possibility of getting cancer" receive the same treatment 🤦 love the content fam 💯
If you were to put together a program around the idea of training over the course of a day, I would definitely buy it. I work from home so basically do this type of training anyway. Having something more structured would be ideal.
Would love to get maps anabolic advanced! I prefer to have longer rest periods to be able to perform at every exercise, but wasn't sure if there should be a maximum lenght to a gym session, now I know, going to focus on good form and to rest enough between sets, thanks!
Love your channel. Just watched a video you posted years ago about the different rep ranges and the effect on training for strength, hypertrophy and endurance. Just discovered I’ve been training for endurance for years without knowing. Served me well for Hyrox but looking for some growth now, should I increase the weight I’ve been using or will introducing more rest between sets and decreasing reps be enough to encourage growth as the muscles won’t be as overtrained?
So strange to hear what the guys say about GLP-1's as I have been on Ozempic since January for my diabetes and heart condition. During that time, I have experienced none of the benefits that most talk about. My appetite is not suppressed, I get the gasteral side effects, and I have gained weight despite keeping my macros in check, eating consistently in a caloric deficit and training 4 times weekly. My blood sugars have remained the same and my blood pressure seems to have gone up a bit, not down. As a result, I just got my bloodwork done and am going back to metformin for 3 months so I can then compare what my results are on or off Ozempic. Maybe I'm a non-responder?
Solar Geo engineering is happening here near St. Louis. I've got videos of the planes flying criss cross patterns. You can watch them feather out over the next few hours and you wake up to silver, hazy clouds. Nothing about them are natural. It's the difference between white fluffy clouds that look like cotton balls and the silver gray clouds that look like cotton candy. It's infuriating because we are given no choice. I wish I knew where to go to for help. I just want to know what it is and how it is affecting our groundwater and crops.
1:18:26 no calories, still. Aside from that, how exactly should this work? If she's missing glute fullness with her current amount of training, then that's a muscle fiber type issue. The human body is an adaptation machine. It's NOT like you have a set amount of type 1, type 2a, etc. but all musclefibers are on a sliding scale and adapt based on requirement. Everyday life requires the same musclefibers as her endurance training. So the adaptation you're asking her body for is influenced by everyday life plus 5x endurance training towards one musclefiber type as opposed to 1x per week towards the other. Which one do you think the result will tend to be? Especially if she's putting an endurance requirement within 24hrs from strength training? Yes, the glute can handle far more volume generally speaking, and yes, women with developed glutes are still walking, but the requirement of her goal is just out of proportion to what she's doing. She should drop endurance completely for a while and once she has reached her goal she would be able to gradually add SOME endurance back in without losing that muscle she's built if continues to lift heavy for that muscle group. Also, personal growth is going there where it's uncomfortable plus, old trainer saying "the athlete needs the most for development exactly that, what they hate" and I can telll you from own experience with myself and countless clients, that is just sooo true!
My question is this: how does heart rate come into it? Is it fair to say that if I monitor my heart rate and it has come down far enough that is an adequate rest period? My partner times rest periods and will sometimes rush me and I generally say I want my heart rate a little lower and need another 30 seconds or a minute.
I recently lost 100+ pounds but hit a mast plateau. So over the last few months I’ve kinda just been eating when I’m hungry and I’ve put on like 25 pounds. I was suprised cuz my clothes still fit the same and I figured I was just kinda maintaining because my body kinda loooked the same. Maybe like a little bit pudgier but not much. What does this mean. Should I freak out that I gained that weight. Also I went from like 320 to 210 and now I’m 235. I don’t fully get what I should do.
Hey guys I don’t have any other social media besides RU-vid so I hope you see this question. I have all your programs. The last one I ran was aesthetic. I got through phase 1 and 2. Phase 3 is too much. Example day 2 has deadlifts superset with pull ups. I pull 405 for 5 then 8 pull ups. I go through the rest and I’m drained by the time I’m done. So much so my CNS needs a day of nothing to recover. Also in STRONG the last phase is 6 sets of 2-4 for everything like 5 exercises. By the time I got to the last couple exercises I’m destroyed. I was eating 4500 calories too for that. I literally couldn’t do the work sessions in the last phase. My hip thrust day was in the 500s and front squat 315. Is the program meant for people who lift lighter? Or is it just a volume issue and I’m not ready. I’m 5’8 190lbs.
If you are one terzipatide and dont lift wat are you doing?! It Inproves amino acid and glucose desposal to mucle = more amino asids and glycogen into muscle = more fuel = mucle building and getting stronger
47:41 that's exactly why they shouldn't go this route. Taking 6-8 weeks to step by step change to a species specific, species appropriate human diet will bring all the benefits without the negatives. No more discipline needed, because all that non-food will lose power over the person and there will be muscle gain instead of muscle loss, even without trying. That's why the natural way is, as always, much better than taking a supplement.
Encouraging GLP-1 peptides and discouraging carnivore in the the same episode is kind of strange to put it mildly... You do realize that one is the natural way without many of the unwanted sideeffects of the other non-natural, less reliable and problem creating way in which you're invested either psychologically or monetarily or both.🤔
47:54 😂 MDs don't have nutrition and/or training education still. More often than not, they're out of shape themselves. So it's totally authentic for them to call for strength training...NOT. The problem with "telling people" to strength train is, that many don't know what that means. I see so many, even young people playing with weights that are nowhere near exerting them as they should be. The peptides are easy access, the education people would need not to be damaged by them is lagging so much behind, that will end in issues. But hey, ph@rma and f@od are already working on "solutions". Stuff you'll have to consume (heavily processed "food" and "supplements") that are supposedly saving you from the ill effects of the peptides...and so the circle goes.... If you don't see how this is never ending, and the real solution is simply stepping out of it by eating meat, then it's because you don't want to see it due to cultural conditioning and/or business interest.
PS: Let people get triggered by that word, "undisciplined." In my opinion, the real nail in coffin are the people you hang out with. "If I dont eat this unhealthy food, my friends/family/coworkers will stop hanging out with me." Boom game over. You lost before you started. Don't be a resistance superhero, just ditch your unhealthy friends.
1:30:42 that's proof right there, that you haven't got the slightest idea how carnivore works and the physiology behind it. He's not fasting per se, he's just not hungry. 4-5 meals is actually damaging advice, 'cos he needs a big enough bolus of protein in 1 sitting in order to keep up correct kidney function for electrolyte balance as well as long term thyroid health. If he reintroduces carbs, he will trigger the Randle Cycle and start putting on a lot of bodyfat very quickly and trigger the exact same detrimental mechanism for chronic systemic inflammation that made him go carnivore in the first place. Sometimes it's enough to say less. You should have stopped at "you can cut with any of our exercise programs". Because that's true and correct. The rest is not only wrong, but partly detrimental.
I don't necessarily agree that you can never rest too long. But I do agree that people don't take proper 2-3 min rests to fully recover. The great part about lower volume is that it averages out the amount of time spent on rest periods. Low volume for me is 15 total sets on a full body workout. With full rest periods, this takes me 50-60 min. But if I was doing higher volume, I'd probably be in the gym for 90+ min. 😂
Or 8-13 mins. You can rest too much in the sense of getting cold. It's best to wait until you feel ready and record the rest time, vs prescribing an exact time
@drip369 - I'd recommend that people build up their general fitness/GPP to not need an overabundance of extreme rest. I mean, I'm all for taking a full 3 min between sets of squats, deadlifts, or presses to be at full strength for the next set. But if you really need more than 3-4 mins at the max for general work sets with two RIR, your recovery sucks.
@@ryandeffley7652 Olympic weightlifters and many powerlifters do 8-15. I have found 15 to be too much yet it happens, and it works great for them. You might not be at their elite level being why you don't need as much rest, as your intensity and total muscle fiber recruitment might not be where they are. I was simply adding on. The movement and the purpose determine my rest times, but i often know when I'm ready, esp since I can control my breathing and revamp my CNS mood
@@LatimusChadimus - This is kind of a disingenuous strawman argument because most people aren't training for the sport of Olympic weight lifting or even doing Olympic lifts on a regular basis. We're talking about normal average people who are regular gym goers and performing basic lifts/standard routines. I'm pretty sure you know that is what the discussion is geared towards. 😆
