I will tell a story: I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and today was my surgery…. I am in the hospital right now after surgery… listening to MIND PUMP cuz I don’t miss any episodes!!! Thank you guys
Glad to hear your comments on the importance of sleep for recovery. Makes me sad when clients feel just a few hours of sleep is ‘good enough’. It’s a key component of training as well!
Yo this is the best fitness channel on TH-cam. I have learned so much about recovery and the importance of healthy eating and not just calorie counting
SLEEP was/is my secret weapon. As a grandma and someone who is always on the go, I have FINALLY figured out the sleep aspect of TRAINING! It's more than a game changer. I wonder what my life would have been like had I prioritized it more throughout. I know that LIFE happens, but to prioritize daily -- it always makes me happy that I have shared this tool with my kids and now they have figured it out sooner than I did. Makes me a proud mama. This podcast goes into my MUST listens. Have an amazeballs day!
Thank you for your comment!! I love to hear about other grandmas on this channel, as I am about to be a grandma myself. I'm 8 workouts away from finishing MAPS Starter and so excited to be on this journey!
Sleep is the natty’s steroid ;). It makes all the difference! Love you guys and have cranked my metabolism to insanity. At 5’10” 195 pounds…getting stronger weekly and eating 3200 calories 5 days per week and 4500 2 days/week while maintaining weight is a dream for me (I’ve always had a great appetite but now it’s going somewhere useful haha). 💪🏋️♂️🔥🤤❤️🥇🍖👌
Winner! Please email ann@mindpumpmedia.com with this episode number, a screenshot of your youtube username, and the email you would like the program to go to.
The first thing I took away from watching your show many moons ago was to get better sleep. Since then I have made it my number one daily goal to make sure I get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep with the lights off. Thank you guys
i found this channel when i was starting my fitness journey about 4 months ago, i was looking for information about creatine for women, love how you guys went in depth and helped so much! appreciate y’all for the help.
Watching your videos has been my routine these past weeks. I’ve learned so much knowledge and have seen so much growth because of you guys! Down from 260 to 183 (the wrong way) but now up to 200 with more muscle and strength because of what ive learned! Appreciate all that you guys do!
this is what I struggle with the most bc I work the graveyard shift 🤦🏽♀️ It’s made me have a weird sleeping schedule, but I’m trying my best to stick to a consistent sleeping routine. I know once I stick to it, I will have way more muscle growth!
My dream was always to be a bodybuilder and compete, after college just kind of let that slip, gained weight, got really out of shape. Actually started to see ppl I know from school going into physique competing, and since finding your guys podcast it really gave me the vision and motivation to pursue that dream again! Any of your programs would be unbelievably valuable at this stage & the content you guys put out has already helped me be lightyears ahead of where I would be!! Thank you 💪🏼
I have to stop the podcast and go to sleep 💤 I will do smith this in the morning so thank you 🙏🏽 been listening to talk everyday for a week . Im loving it!
Being in a caloric deficit for too long affects your sleep, I was having trouble sleeping for a couple of weeks and couldn’t figure out why, never had an issue before. I’m 50 and had been cutting for so long losing 45 lbs but all of a sudden crappy sleep. I just so happened to go on a family weekend trip with extended family and went crazy, eating all the foods I hadn’t eaten in ages and had recently switched back from being a vegetarian for a couple of years to eating meat again, I ate so much crap I was convinced I would put on weight but long story short, felt great, no weight gain and slept like a baby again. The human body is a trip!
Strong and power lift!! That shit would be INSANE, love the emphasis on sleep this pod. As a 28 year old, I got into truly tracking sleep last year and even just paying attention to it flipped my life around.
I love this. I have to remind my clients all the time that sleep is the thing they need to work on instead of more cardio or more sessions. It’s not more work it’s actually more restful sleep that will give them the results they’re looking for !
Ever since undergrad, I’ve been interested in sleep as a ergogenic aid. There has always been tons of research on the benefits of sleep, I’m just happy to see the realm of fitness and rehab take this more seriously. Always love your guys’ content! I eat it up.
Thanks for this episode! I always need more sleep i have found that any amount of booze in my system wrecks my sleep, also having pre-workout past 4pm is also a no no for me.
Please Read! Hey guys, big fan. Watching you for at least a year now. Going through a heartbreak where she took a lot of my belongings and money. You guys always know how to make my day positive. Keep up the hard work and keep posting.
Man I have grown to love these videos, as a somewhat beginner in the gym, the knowledge and information given about the gym and life in general has helped me tremendously. Thank y’all for the content y’all make!
Why is it a struggle? At least you don't have to rotate schedules. I'm also on permanent night shift. I take a natural sleep aid on my drive home and use a black-out blind fold. Also, I keep the same sleep routine within 1-2 hours on my days off.
I just found you guys a few weeks ago and I've been binging your podcasts and videos at the gym and at work - thank you so much for all your knowledge! Trying to save up for one of your programs but I'm stuck on which one lol. I used to be able to function on 4-6 hours of sleep when I was in my 20's and even felt better! Now I'm almost 40 and sleep has been such a struggle for me to get good, quality, restful sleep. I started a routine a few days ago, about an hour before bed, and I've noticed already an easier time falling asleep. Love that you focus on rest and recovery!
perfect day to upload this episode, when the. locks change and fuck with everyone's sleep. Day lights savings should not be a thing anymore. Thanks for all your helpful content guys!!!
I love this channel. I’m watching you guys right now and the editing is so good even for a podcast that you won’t expect people would actually listen AND watch, not just the listening part.
Found your channel and subscribed a month ago & you guys have changed the way I train and diet and… I’ve seen results! Where have you guys been all my life 😅
Hey guys as always, love the content, currently working my way through Anabolic, would love to add split to my repertoire of programs from you guys! 💪🏼
The biggest takeaway I have gotten since I started listening to you guys a few months back is consistency. I struggled with consistency and would always wonder why my training sucked, why my weight was on this roller coaster that I couldn’t control and why I felt like a zombie every day. When I was trying to get everything figured out I started with sleep, once I got that routine squared away everything fell into place. Training was more consistent, weight steadily came down, like I was wanting, all because I put my head on a pillow for a little bit longer every night.
Another amazing episode, you guys have changed my exercise journey for the better. Loving MAPS Aesthetics right now, me and my friend are seeing some real results.
You guys have done a phenomenal job over the years and have helped me out tremendously in my personal life and in my career with the military with the quality information you continue to put out over living a better and healthier lifestyle. Thanks for everything y’all do👊🏼
As a student I've always been lacking at getting a good nights worth of sleep. I've been trying to improve my sleeping habits and I gotta say this podcast was so helpful
It's almost 30 days before my wedding so I'm going to work for this challenge. Not only I'm going to feel better on my weddingday but also... MORE MUSCLES YEAHHHH
I love your channel. You guys are the best. I've learned a lot of the fundamentals that seem simple, but are confusing to most people without watching your channel. Always looking forward to new content from your Channel.
Love your guys youtube channel so much! Have learned a lot at. Found you guys through Ben Greenfield. I’m 18 and feel like I know alot already thank you you all!
Guys I started this about 45 days ago. Getting 7.5 hours per night. My blood pressure was why I couldn’t get sleep. I started taking my blood pressure medication at night and sleeping like a baby. It made the world of difference in training, recovery, and body fat %. It helped me cross a plateau
I'm a stay at home dad with a toddler who treats sleep like eating veggies. Not having it lol I try to get to bed as early as I can though, thanks guys!
You guys are spot on about everything especially light exposure. Andrew Huberman says that training yourself to getting bright sunlight exposure early in the day and then dimming as it gets darker towards the end of the day will train your circadian rhythm naturally. Interestingly enough, the level of light also makes a big difference too so having a dim light below eye level seems to not disrupt your rythym. I myself am like Sal and any little light will disrupt my sleep so it has to be pitch dark.
Ironically, I just hopped into bed to listen to your latest episode and it’s about sleep - which I struggle with, also ironically, I was eyeing off MAPS split today. It’s a sign 😛
Not only do you guys provide amazing info, you also connect with your audience. I personally have DM’d you guys on Instagram asking questions and you’ve always replied. That’s almost unheard of from other influencers (if you wanna call them that). Thanks for all the help gentleman.
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching your show for awhile now. I bought MAPs Anabolic 6 weeks ago and I’m seeing amazing results. I looking forward to alternating to another of your programs next. Have a great week and I’ll see you in the next one!
I've been a Personal training for over 20 years, and sleep is my big problem. I do almost all those things, with exception of eating at 6pm, but I wake up in the middle of the night to pee, and start thinking about my problems. I try to turn my brain off but it's so hard. I used to look at the time, which made it worse. Now I don't look anymore and can go back to sleep . Lots of my clients have the same problem.
Hey guys, love the content. Sleep is something I’ve always struggled with. I’ve had struggles getting consistent sleep throughout the night. I understand how important sleep is but struggle to get enough sleep for my body to recover.
I recently talked to an orthopedic surgeon about sunlight and bone health when my 6 year old broke a bone in his arm and she said aim to get 15 minutes outside in the sun per day (without sunscreen).
Used to always struggle in the military with balancing sleep and work. Often times we would have 24 hour shifts, and my body would feel absolutely wrecked.
Watching this while unable to sleep in efforts to incentivize myself to fall asleep but I don’t think it works that way haha Thanks for the quality content guys!
I had the best sleep last night after working everyday for the past month so my sleep has been kinda 👎🏼 so thanks for this reminder, sleep is important!
How about a sleepy-dad joke for the giveaway? I was sitting on the couch with my wife last night and as I looked out the window, I saw some cows out in a field laying down. I looked at my wife and said “What the hell are you doing still awake? Can’t you see the cows laying down in the field?!” Puzzled, she asked “what do the cows laying down have to do with me going to bed?” Smirking, I exclaimed, “Well, obviously it’s PASTURE bed time!” :D
Favorite thing about MAPS? When I come back to phase 1 and see the progress I made. Got a garage gym, so really curious how much of maps split I could actually do!
Chasing sleep like a boss! I learned I can't eat 2 hours before bed. I certainly struggle with caffeine use because I workout at different times of the day based on my work shifts.
If you can't black out your room entirely, another tip (much cheaper also) is to get yourself a good quality sleeping eye-mask. I've got one and it has been a game changer.
A book I read over Christmas: Why We Sleep, by Matthew Walker. Very state of the science.... I recommend it to anyone. You guys actually motivated me to look into this. You’ve repeatedly commented on the importance of sleep. Perhaps you can interview Dr. Walker.
I have a red bulb in one of my lamps and that's usually the last light to go out. I have a double lamp set up where they are on a power strip together and I just flip the power bar. They also have no shades. Those go out first, ideally around 8 pm. Sometimes I never turn them on when I come in. Then I have a single lamp on a night stand with a shade.
Sleep is not overrated. It’s actually the one thing everyone should be able to do without much knowledge. Training and nutrition is a complex science, but sleep - easy😀 but here I am commenting for a MAPS plan at 3 am
Hey Guys I just started my fitness journey you have been an inspiration and guide I was about to go into supplements rabbit hole but for now I’m going to stick to protein powder and créatine, I’m also making sure to eat healthy (with the occasional shawarma 😂). Thank you for all the information 🙏🏼
For people who are watching their carbs, studies show that having a majority of your carbs at your last meal before bed will help your body prepare to sleep as well.
Sleep has been the biggest game changer for me since I started training! Been consistently weightlifting for 3-4 years now and I've hit plateau after plateau, could never figure out what I was doing wrong but since watching your channel I've tried getting more sleep and it's made more difference than anything else I've tried! Massive thanks to you guys for sharing your knowledge, keep up the good work!
I will tell a story: I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and today was my surgery…. I am in the hospital right now after surgery… listening to MIND PUMP cuz I don’t miss any episodes!!! Thank you guys
Hiiii! How are you now David?!
Are you doing well, fellow mind pump fanatic?

Anyone who is serious about improving his sleep should read "Why we sleep" by Matthew Walker. Lack of sleep can screw you up really bad

Great show and information as always. Love it!! Ready for that MAPS split!!
Found out I'm going to have a baby girl in August, Hopefully this episode will me me get better sleep, even if it's less. Thanks!
Loving the messaging you guys are putting out. I’ve been recommending this channel to all my friends ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bingo! He hit the nail @25:00. I have been going to sleep and waking up same time everyday 7 days a week for last 3 yrs. Its glorious!
Instead of watching this episode I’m just gonna go to bed 🥱😴
Killer content!! Huge area I’ve neglected and plan to spend more time creating a solid routine

Sounds incredibly valuable. I’ll be following.
Struggling with this as I’m on night shift permanently. 5-6 hours sleep max on work days but 9-10 on my 2 days off .. 😞
Why is it a struggle? At least you don't have to rotate schedules. I'm also on permanent night shift. I take a natural sleep aid on my drive home and use a black-out blind fold. Also, I keep the same sleep routine within 1-2 hours on my days off.
Took a break, glad to be back, info is great as always. Love you guys. And thanks to the background crew; lights, camera, sound, you rock!!

MindPump is my Gym-iny Cricket. A deep sleep routine is what my 40yo brain desperately needs for restoration 😴 🙃
I started MAPS AESTHETIC a month ago and have not8ced more gains and strength, over my first 6 months of doing bro split. You guys are the truth 🤙
Perfect timing for this podcast. Thank you for your awesome work!

*Me watching this at 4am last night for no reason*
Totally, sleep is so key
Oh snap free maps split 💪🏽 all I gotta do is comment because I already have that notification button on haha
Another great video guys! I’m currently saving money to buy one of the maps programs and I can’t wait to start!!!!! 💪💪
Hey you guys made the behind the scenes wit Tony Robinson private...I was with my gf this weekend went to watch it now and I cant this is devistating!

Such great information.
Used to always struggle in the military with balancing sleep and work. Often times we would have 24 hour shifts, and my body would feel absolutely wrecked.

Sal has me changing up my sleep schedule now 😂😂
I had the best sleep last night after working everyday for the past month so my sleep has been kinda 👎🏼 so thanks for this reminder, sleep is important!
I can relate to going out on weekends and ruining my sleep schedule 😅
How about a sleepy-dad joke for the giveaway?
I was sitting on the couch with my wife last night and as I looked out the window, I saw some cows out in a field laying down.
I looked at my wife and said “What the hell are you doing still awake? Can’t you see the cows laying down in the field?!”
Puzzled, she asked “what do the cows laying down have to do with me going to bed?”
Smirking, I exclaimed, “Well, obviously it’s PASTURE bed time!”
:D
Favorite thing about MAPS? When I come back to phase 1 and see the progress I made. Got a garage gym, so really curious how much of maps split I could actually do!
Love the content guys!! I only sleep 6 and a half hours of sleep consistently so hopefully I get more after this vid..
Chasing sleep like a boss! I learned I can't eat 2 hours before bed. I certainly struggle with caffeine use because I workout at different times of the day based on my work shifts.
If you can't black out your room entirely, another tip (much cheaper also) is to get yourself a good quality sleeping eye-mask.
I've got one and it has been a game changer.
Great episode on the importance of sleep! You guys motivated me to try and keep my weekends consistent, but think wifey is gonna shut it down lol.
A book I read over Christmas: Why We Sleep, by Matthew Walker. Very state of the science.... I recommend it to anyone. You guys actually motivated me to look into this. You’ve repeatedly commented on the importance of sleep. Perhaps you can interview Dr. Walker.
Love the podcast guys and love all the great content you have done. Can't wait to get started on one of your programs.
You guys always have such pleasant vibes and stories, do you guys have any gym pet peeves ?
I have a red bulb in one of my lamps and that's usually the last light to go out. I have a double lamp set up where they are on a power strip together and I just flip the power bar. They also have no shades. Those go out first, ideally around 8 pm. Sometimes I never turn them on when I come in. Then I have a single lamp on a night stand with a shade.
These guys hit all the nails on the head, i was doing a lot of things wrong, specially the weekend sleep disruptions
Sleep is not overrated. It’s actually the one thing everyone should be able to do without much knowledge. Training and nutrition is a complex science, but sleep - easy😀 but here I am commenting for a MAPS plan at 3 am
awesome thank you
Hey Guys I just started my fitness journey you have been an inspiration and guide I was about to go into supplements rabbit hole but for now I’m going to stick to protein powder and créatine, I’m also making sure to eat healthy (with the occasional shawarma 😂).
Thank you for all the information 🙏🏼
Listening to this while I should be sleeping
The boys coming in with another good one👌🏽
For people who are watching their carbs, studies show that having a majority of your carbs at your last meal before bed will help your body prepare to sleep as well.
Sal It's 3:30 am, couldn't sleep, got up to watch your new episode, please stop screaming at me 😂 .. first 5 seconds scrared the bejesus out of me
Sleep is definitely important, my problem sleeping is from the fact that I work at night
Anyone else just died of laughter reading the comment describing Sal as the “intro buff guy”.
Sleep has been the biggest game changer for me since I started training! Been consistently weightlifting for 3-4 years now and I've hit plateau after plateau, could never figure out what I was doing wrong but since watching your channel I've tried getting more sleep and it's made more difference than anything else I've tried! Massive thanks to you guys for sharing your knowledge, keep up the good work!
