    I feel I deserve to have access to the program as I have sat on the toilet for 46 minutes so I can get peace from the family so I can watch. I have had 5 bouts of pins and needles and 1 calf cramp.

    I listened to this on of way into Central London today... I'm training to become a gym instructor and we literally covered this topic's "guidelines" yesterday... You guys have a gift for timing these episodes lol. Getting literal mind pumps from each episode. 💪🧠

    I’m so happy you guys did this video because you explain it so simply! I don’t know why the fitness industry makes programming seem so daunting. I’m literally taking notes as if this was one of my college classes. There’s so much information I don’t want to miss a thing! I’m sure this is an episode I’ll be rewatching A LOT. Thank you so much for this knowledge 🤓.

    Mind Pump has dramatically changed my life by reframing my relationship with exercise. I truly enjoy strength training for the sake of it now instead of just for the aesthetics. I exercise because its fun and good for my health and the aesthetics are just another plus. Thank you guys.

    MindPump should be called MindRead because your three always seem to know exactly what I am questioning about my programming or my health. I have DMed you guys about this, but you have really changed my life. Two years ago, I was running 10+ miles per day and then going to the gym and killing myself on the elliptical for another hour. Today, my entire workout took 45 minutes and consisted of 13 sets on my pull/back day. Before you said in one of your episodes to start a good program, I was doing 30 sets every workout 6 days per week. Before you said to prioritize weightlifting over cardio, I would go on the elliptical for 45 minutes before weightlifting. Before you said not to focus on calories burned during the workout and focus, instead, on building muscle, I would not let myself leave the gym until I burned a certain number of calories. Over the past year, I really realized how much I was harming my health after finding your podcast. Any time I was wondering your opinions on decreasing cardio, increasing calories, bulking, workout set ups, how much is too much, how much is not enough, etc., I feel like I get the notification that you posted a new episode with my questions answered. From June 2020 to now, I was able to put on 25 pounds of lean muscle, and I am finally loving myself again. People are telling me that I look so much stronger and that I have put on size in my legs and back. I am honestly so thankful that you guys helped me learn how to look after my body and get stronger. Sixty years of your combined experience really shows in all of your episodes. Thank you again.

    Been obsessed with mind pump channel for a month now , before I found you guys I wass 175 pounds , running 3.5 miles everyday before lifting, and eating 1500 calories a day , after watching all your videos I started tracking my macros , and been hitting my protein goal everyday and bumping my calories to 2300-2500, I’ve also stop running and now I’ll walk for about an hour after my dinner , I’m currently at 182lbs but I look leaner and feel great ! With more muscle , you guys have opened my eyes and now I understand the proper and sustainable way to diet and strength train , I appreciate you guys 🙏🏽💪🏽

    I'm so happy I found you guys. I'm a 51 yo skinny fat weak newb just starting my prep for old age. I just went through a year long case of frozen shoulder and now I'm ready to build big beautiful muscles. I see glimpses into my future whenever I see my mom try to get up or do a simple task and it scares the shit out of me because yeah...genetics. I take care of my adult disabled child and some of the tasks require strength and agility. From watching your channel and following your advice I have made some significant progress in just a couple of months. Nobody has helped me make that mind muscle connection click like you guys did. I've gained six pounds and most of it is on my legs and butt --not my belly. So THANKS!

    I am soooo glad that I found you guys I enjoy the podcast. I am in my 40’s who works at a desk and a super busy mom. I have gain the COVID-19 weight plus 10. I work at a desk so I was just doing cardio in Feb-May. I found you guys in late May watch a lot of the podcast and was hooked. I incorporated some dumbbell lifting in June at 30-45min sessions and I finally start to see inches come off and I drop 2lbs. (My diet is sucks, I know I can do better) But I started with 3-5lbs weights and now I use 8lbs weights now and I know I feel stronger. I learned from the podcast to only do workout sessions that I can do for the rest of my life. So no more crash diets or 7 days in the a week working out. I am taking the slow and steady approach I want to drop 35-40lbs I am giving myself a year to recomp my body.

    At the start of the pandemic my 17 year old daughter and I weight nearly 400 lbs together. She lost her job and her dreams were put on hold. We were already heavy and didn’t want to put on weight. We started with Pilates then HIITs. Fast forward to start of 2021 where we found ourselves 100 lbs lighter and bored with Pilates and HIITs. We then started to weight lift. She is now obsessed with weight training and I found you guys to help me build a program. She recently got a job at a gym and a member asked if she was a body builder. I am so fucking proud of us. I’m following you guys to take us further and get results. Thanks guys!

    I listen to you guys' podcast every day and boy has it changed the way I train and view nutrition. So much awesome information and helpful tips. One that stood out to me was Justin's tip on how to curb late-night cravings: "Just tell your face to shut up." LOL I know Sal brushed it off but I actually did try it and surprisingly it worked😂 Just wanted to lyk guys know that even you guys' witty bantering and seemingly not-so-crucial comments help sometimes so keep up that part of the podcast as well!! Trying to preserve muscle by building them in maintenance calories and so far no change in weight but increasing strength and loving it!

  • @danielsylvainds
    @danielsylvainds 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely guilty of sticking to the 8-12 rep range. Earlier this year switched it up, I'll agree the change is needed. The results apparent, improvement in strength gains, feeling better, stronger 💪🏾. Good to hear it, confirmation even though the proof is in the pudding I tend to find myself talking myself from not changing & reverting back to what worked in the beginning but not as effective months after the fact.

    Once again, amazing information for those of us trying to build programs at home. I took the jewels of this episode and applied it to the full body band workout, #1380, and it changed everything. I now have very clear goals and an understanding of how to progress for maximum benefits. I've noticed the difference, I'm making gains and I feel great. Thank you for all you(s) do!

    Two years ago I was 235, and completely out of shape. I started running and cut back my calories, and got my weight down to 205. As you guys have mentioned millions of times, that is the worst way to lose body fat, and I quickly gained back 10 pounds. Then, last year I committed to weight resistance training and stay consistent for a couple months. I was able to lose the 10 pounds that I had regained, then CoVID hit, and I stopped working out. This year, my buddy and I had gotten into a fitness bet, and I started lifting again. I started going to my HOA gym at 4 am before work every day, then I got my own squat rack and dumbbells. Listening to you guys has taught me so much about how to train and be more effective in my workouts. I got all the way down to 185 pounds, and have been putting on lean mass for the last couple months. My physique and self confidence has fully been transformed. You guys are entertaining to listen to and educational at the same time. Keep it up!

  • @TheNothingStory
    @TheNothingStory 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So I have a confession to make… Sadly I’ve become part of the 90%, I started working out and taking my diet seriously for the first time in my life a little over a year ago. I stuck to it and lost 55lbs. I was ecstatic, dropped 6 pant sizes and got down to a L from a 2XL. Felt better than I ever had. Well about 4 months ago I started my relationship with the love of my life. I started slacking on the healthy foods and felt I deserved to spoil myself for all the good work I’d done, wasn’t getting my 10,000-15,000 steps a day anymore, and my workouts also started to diminish. Gained back 35lbs. And started to have to wear my big clothes again… I told myself it had to change, I had to take responsibility of my actions and do what’s best for my future and my family. I’ve listened to you guys through my whole journey, and even bought PERFORMANCE and AESTHETIC, and the intuitive eating guide. Fantastic products and was honestly blown away with the amount of knowledge that was packed in. I think I might’ve bitten off more than I could chew though. I can get through the workouts, but with my job that constantly changes shifts, and now having a girlfriend, it’s become harder and harder to make it to the gym. I know I have it within me and I ALWAYS feel better after a good workout. Even convinced my girlfriend to start working out with me. I think I just need to get back to the basics though, and was honestly thinking either STARTER or ANABOLIC to get me on the right track. Love the information you guys are providing for the fitness industry, and just your opinions in general. I get pumped when I get that notification that a video dropped, always a great listen. Usually the topic you guys cover is something that’s been on my mind recently so even if it’s something you’ve gone over before I’m more than happy to have it reiterated again. Keep growing the brand guys, y’all are gonna make it all the way to the top. I know it 💪🤙

    Been listening and watching for a few months. Still fairly new. Compared the older clips I’ve watched to the newer clips I get notified about, and the consistency of the information provided is so much better than other channels I’ve now unsubscribed from. In such short amount of time, I feel I’ve learned more than the previous 4 years. I want to get the MAP Starter Bundle but just haven’t pulled the trigger. Thanks guys.

  • @FlyinFlubber206
    @FlyinFlubber206 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys truly don't get the credit you deserve for all that y'all provide. You are the pinnacle of fitness knowledge and always manage to keep your podcasts and videos as entertaining as they are informative. Even after five years of lifting, you guys make it enjoyable and easy for me to tune in and keep learning more and more.
    I love most that you guys are so adamant about the importance of rotating workout plans and variables. For the first several years of lifting, I stuck to what I knew because I was told it was "the best way" and it was what worked for me initially. So when I began to plateau I added more sets and tried to train harder, but (as you can imagine) my progress and strength began to regress. It wasn't till I injured my shoulder and was physically forced to change my routine that I broke out of the cycle and finally started to grow and get stronger again.
    I wish I had found your channel as a novice lifter and I envy those in your audience who did while starting out. That said, I sleep well at night knowing Mind Pump will inevitably save others from the mistakes that I (and so much of the fitness community) make on a daily basis and continue to be a hub for real, responsible information for the fitness community. Keep it up fellas, much love!

    Just began working out seriously for the first time in my life. While I have weight lifted before, I’ve never had a trainer and am going into week 7. Feel great, I’m able to see where I’m weak (front left hip and left should blade) and now have been doing flexibility and mobility training as well. Can’t see myself going back to being inactive. Recently discovered this channel and is easily the best I’ve seen.

  • @jawadkazmi5327
    @jawadkazmi5327 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Am so happy that i found this channel.
    I have learnt a lot here, I was never consistent in my training, at most would do 6 months of gym achieve some goals (rather think i have achieved them) body weight bench, 1.5 body weight squat. 2x body weight deadlift. would build strength but wouldn't get noticeable esthetic change :(
    I am now training more consistently and realised that weight doesn't matter its the tension and volume that gives me results. Bands took me out of the mentality where i was obsessed with the plates and weight.
    I have further learnt a lot in terms of nutrition, making my best gains and am happy.
    Small esthetic chnages make me even happier and cannot wait for the next workout.
    Cheers fellas.

    New trainer here in the "information overload" phase. Currently studying Corrective Exercise (NASM). I thank you all for offering your experience(s) and knowledge freely. The longer I listen to you all, the more I find myself identifying with your suggestions/information. Today's discussion- I swear you were reading my mind as you all addressed many topics that I have been questioning. I am currently trying to write a program for myself and admit that I am struggling (probably over thinking it all). Your painting analogy is spot on. Trainers have so many variables to adjust. I believe this is why I struggle as it's all very new to me. I think you alluded to this today when you were discussing tempo. What can you share w trainers who use Super Slow in their resistance training. They do one set, w tempo 10-0-10. This is all they do at their personal training gym. I think it might be beneficial for a set period of time, but as you recommended today, switch up after 3-6 weeks. I think clients like it bc it takes less time to workout.
    Thank you all for your time and expertise you do freely offer!!

    After the military, I lost the urge to workout, and I didn't know the science behind fitness. That being said, I gained 45lbs In a year. These guys helped bring that fire back.. not by showing ripped pictures or saying look at me, but bu teaching the science behind growth.. I've since have been telling everyone about this channel. They help us, sublets help them by getting as many eyes as we can on them

    hey guys thanks for all the good work you’re doing. Just recently got into the podcast been listening for a couple months and the fitness advice is unmatched. no cookie cutter stuff, all practice advice that you can implement into your individual situation. Listening has honestly very much not only changed my performance, but my approach to fitness as a whole. going from trying to burnout my muscles everyday and getting nowhere, to training for strength, mobility, and performance has changed my life. I’ve added more muscle than ever before with just the basic compound lifts and have been much more in tune with my caloric intake and where I need to be. Nothing but the best wishes to you guys and keep it up, you’re really help people change their lives for the better!

    I manage my workouts five days a week, I go in every morning and do full body, some days hard and some days not so hard. I am 215 at age 32, 6 ft and probably around 23 percent body fat. My day consists of working out and changing into work clothes, I'll go to work and wait for mind pump to upload a video listen to you guys and for the most part understanding what you guys are trying to get across and it's a good reminder for some points. I aim for 200 grams of protein and 50 grams of fat (to keep my hormones on check) I keep my carbs to about as low as I can. I walk with my job about 20 thousand steps a day. I was 254 pounds in January and keeping on my way with my recomp.

    These videos have been helping me out so much as an athlete and lifter. I have never properly understood how to train and diet, so after a few months of going through the motions, I searched up some lifting podcasts and I found everything I ever needed in this channel. Although I have not yet been able to buy a program, I've taken everything I've learned from you guys to pack on a ton of muscle which has been extremely beneficial for both aesthetics and sports. Thank you guys!

    @meghanwalsh8102 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    can’t believe they give this advice away for free!! after playing sports my entire life and then retiring, like MANY athletes across the US, after high school I was lost with my workout regimen and meal plan. Over the past few years in college i’ve been working with it and listening to MindPump helped me switch from a 4 day split of PLPL and cardio (ab 30 min each) to doing full body 3 days a week (ab 1 hour) with 1 upper 1 lower COMPOUND movement and a few accessories mixed in! I’m also back to strength training w HEAVY weights bc i’m not afraid of getting “huge” anymore. I feel so much stronger in just the few weeks i’ve fully committed to it! I’m interested in improving my plan further w MAPS. I know there are still some holes/ areas for growth! i’m definitely still in the building process of my meal plan as well- covid resulted in my bored eating/ snacking than ever before. Your videos help me stay focused. Thanks Again!!

    I think the main take away from this video is all reps, sets, rest times and different weights add value. Once you get comfortable with these variables, switching up is gonna be most beneficial for further progression. Thanks guys for always providing the knowledge and tools for us to succeed at our physical and mental goals.

    I feel like there are certain exercises that I have rep barriers for. In particular, I don’t like to do 4-6 reps on my lateral raises because it just doesn’t feel right. I would say the same thing about doing more than 12 reps on my deadlift or squat. On the other hand, the pump is good either way with incline bench or low rows.
    I love the show and what you guys bring, listening to you has gotten my wife to buy in and we built her out a 2x a week lifting program. I told her to just stick with it for 10-12 weeks and see what happens.

    Fantastic episode guys! Sets, Reps, and Rest periods always feel like something you can't ask about in the strength training space... It was great to hear this broken down with the detail that you all are known for! These are things that I feel like everyone is just supposed to "know" and you feel kind of stupid for even asking. As someone that came from the endurance space, its really helpful to know the science behind resting, reps, and sets!

I watch a lot of diff TH-camrs but never feel like any of it really applies to me. I am a 41 y/o female. I want to focus on mobility and longevity but of course have weight loss goals (down 25lbs but have approx 20lbs to go).

      @fazzolarijames 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well done on your progress so far! If one of the programs you tried was producing results AND you enjoyed the program, just stick with it! “Program-hopping” is very detrimental to progress. The grass may seem greener elsewhere, but don’t give up on something which works in a search for slightly more optimal progress. A lot of time can be wasted searching for “best”.
      When progress truly stops you can then evaluate what worked in your program. Keep the stuff that worked and replace what didn’t. Rinse and repeat over enough time and success is just a matter of time 🙂

And truly, I haven't felt I made great progress with any of them, I'm likely just expecting to much.

      @@JMac-dy6hq that’s cool 😎 don’t take this the wrong way, but progress for a 41 year old female will be somewhat slower than what is ordinarily portrayed in fitness media (which both skews younger and isn’t honest to begin with) - if you’re progressing that’s a great start!
      Boredom is a real killer. My girlfriend shares a similar view, she loves working out but doesn’t want it to be tedious. I’m just a robot who does the same stuff session after session, year after year...
      To alleviate boredom, rotating exercises can help (eg: flat bench one day, incline on another or a different grip width) or doing light & heavy days (lighter weight with more reps versus low reps high weight), so each session has a different theme.
      I don’t know MAPS anabolic myself but the Mind Pump guys are very knowledgeable so I’d trust their products, you could also write them an email and they could recommend which product would be most suitable too 🙂

    I heard about GVT a bit over a year ago and thought it sounded kinda dumb but coming from you guys it actually makes a lot of sense. Definitely gonna try this!! My squat is terrible compared to my other big lifts. I’ve been lifting and doing callisthenics for a while but I’ve always done manual labour jobs and did press ups regularly from early teens. I guess I just haven’t practiced the movement of the squat enough…

    Great content as usual, guys. I think some of these variables are particularly valuable for people like me who work out at home and don't have a ton of equipment or machines at our disposal. Changing the rep scheme and tempo are great ways to mix things up from time to time. Greetings from Chile. Keep on with the awesome work.

    I was skeptical of going above 15 reps, but once I did, I saw gains like I had never seen before. Like the guys said, I don’t think it was the rep range itself, but my body being forced to adapt. Now I try to change things up every 4-6 weeks.

My biggest issue was either not enough or way to much. As I am in the seasoned citizen group aka old the program fits great for me. I actually use sessions twice a week as cardio. Keep up good work

    Just wanna say you have convinced this historically injury-prone runner (over trainer by nature, yh one of those guys, my bad) to reduce his running and even the types of it (i only run twice a week now, total of about 3-4 miles, but i run hard still haha, 8-10 x400 metre repeats (still fast aerobic, not sprints) and hard efforts 1 mile x2 repeats), there is still the runner in me but these keep me satisfied enough, trying to reduce my times and build pace, but more importantly ive noticed its not eating up as much energy in the strength training side of things, I know in the future i still want to do some 5k events just for a 'fun' challenge, but i have finally listened haha with so many of your episodes saying, make sure you concentrate at one thing at a time and you cant train endurance and strength without potential repercussions (my historically injury prone self is testimony of that), I will have to 'cycle' in and prioritise what the goal is at that moment. Thanks for all your wisdom and advice! Very apprciated!

    Hi Mind Pumpers. I’ve been listening to you guys for the past week or so. I’m 26 and I come from Macedonia 🇲🇰. I’ve been the athlete for whole my life, trained all the sports (soccer, basketball, baseball, lifting, kick-box & ran marathons), but this COVID stuff glued me to the sofa and working from home didn’t help either. I can say that my last training session was about two years ago and since then I’ve gained 33 lbs (15kg), my metabolism has slowed down and my junk food and alcohol consumption has gone up. I’ve listed myself for a half-marathon in two months for 13 miles (21km) and I know that the additional weight will be a problem and deteriorate my joints. Could you please give me some tips on how to concur this quest of getting back in shape, run for two plus hours without the damage and basically get back on track prior to the pandemic? Much respect. Darko
