It's really awesome that even though money is tight right now, I can still come to this channel and check out all this free stuff you guys give us. I was already looking forward to trying out the 30 day free program y'all gave us recently, and now I can look forward to the webinar too! Thanks to y'all's advice, I'm down 15 lbs this past month and up 30 on the bench 💪
Legends! ❤ this topic. Completely agree! Stopped squats due to knee pain. Watched Adam’s fix it YT videos before xmas and began hip and ankle stretches, now able to back squat for 1st time in a decade without pain! You guys are awesome, thank you 💪
Wow! I have been really stoked watching your podcast. I continue to watch you guys every day and seem to gain more knowledge in weightlifting. I am 74 and have been weight training since I was in my 30's. During that time I have had alot of injuries to my shoulders and back so you guys have really made a big difference in my life. I look forward every day to your videos. Keep them coming!
Hey guys today is my bday! Big 30, I need to change my life around and it would be great with 9 months of help! Appreciate you guy and what you guys do!
Since listening to you guys my mobility in my day to day has greatly improved. I use to wake up with bad ankles and poor posture. Since listening I’ve taken a lot of tips and applied them to my life and have had great results. I truly thank you for everything you do.
Another day another mind pump! I’ve tried to put everyone I know on to your podcast at this point lol. As a college student who is also working towards becoming a personal trainer I would so appreciate a maps program. I don’t have the finances right now so I try to create good programming for myself but constantly fall into the trap of overtraining!! Sending good luck and fist bumps to everyone commenting for the giveaway though 🤜🤛
I've done weight training for 4 years in high school and never deadlifted. My strength coach didn't really teach us the technique and I was too scared to try it. Fast forward 7 years and now I'm going on almost 2 years of consistent training since I first listened to your guys' podcast. This includes learning how to deadlift. I first started lifting with belts and straps initially and saw tremendous gains because of muscle memory, but I eventually hit a plateau. I realized I was relying too much on the belt and straps and didn't "own" my strength. I've scrapped everything I did and rebuilt my programming and started over with full range of motion without using any training aids. Now I'm at where I used to be, but without the use of a belt or straps. I appreciate all the knowledge and experience through the podcasts and all the other demo videos you've published. Y'all have earned plenty of life long listeners 👏
My Name is Ashton. I come from a small town and here we have no gyms so I started my own home gym and brought a lot of my neighborhood friends to my gym. I often listened to y’all’s programming when helping them in certain areas that they wanted to improve. You have changed not only my life but the lives of many of my friends. Inspired me to become a personal trainer and I’m working on certifications when I’m not at work or training in my gym. Thank you guys for providing what you do.
Funny enough. All my friends are stronger than me despite me having more experience and better programming skills/work ethic. But it’s been nice seeing them grow into what they’ve always wanted to be
I've actually listed hundreds of exercises and placed difficulty and quality ratings with them as well as a variety of notes. I'm planning on offering them to my clients. It actually didn't take all that long and was really enjoyable.
This is probably my favorite video you guys have put out! Answers so many of my questions! As somebody who has struggled with knee pain while squatting and constant shoulder pain since I was 19. I have been able to implement some of these movements and relieved so much pain!
I think about the day I woke up on December 18, 2019 and realized I had let my body go down a bad path. It was this day I started my fitness journey. You guys helped me get over my fear of the gym, you made me laugh and helped me fall in love with the process. I refer to December 18 as my second birthday and I have dropped 45 pounds, all from fat and my health has never been better. I am 34 and while I wish I started earlier it’s never too late and I owe a lot to you guys there. Thanks for what you do
Winner! Winner! 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!
22:42 This is EXACTLY what I've been doing. Ankle mobility is what was holding me back. Elevated heels, goblet squats with a kettlebell. My hip mobility is decent, after doing 90/90s for a while, so I can get great depth now without having to lean way forward and round my back. This is excellent advice, that I wish I'd heard sooner.
Hey guys! I wanted to thank you for your videos and podcast. I'm sure everyone listening has been possitively affected by what you do every week, whether it is inspiration to start improving their life, knowledge to keep going, or just a fine time listening to your stories... for me, it has been a live changer: I just moved to a new country to do my studies and I didn't even speak the language very well, but following your recommendations and focusing on my workouts, diet, and sleep has really given me a pilar from where to stand. Thank you on behalf of all of the newbies out there!
So much free valuable information coming from this channel. These guys are changing people's lives for the better every day. Thank God for mind pump on TH-cam
My comment - love the pod. Respect all that you do, and I use your tips for not only myself but those around me as well and it’s helped multiple people just from the stories you guys tell about clients and how to handle them. It’s helped improved my life, my friends, and my family because I use your tips to enhance everybody’s quality of life. Fitness can change lives and does every single day, and you guys make it incredibly enjoyable to learn about it and very accessible
I've been following your program for 3 weeks and I already feel so strong. My body balance and confidence in my movements has given me such an improvement in my quality of life. Thanks you guys and be well!
Watching you guys for the past few months has inspired me to finally get fit again. Each new year I say this is the year I make a change yet every year passes with no change. Thanks to you guys I've started the 5 x 5 and have seen amazing results. I've added muscle and shed 20lbs. My goal of getting fit by my 60th birthday May 2022 is well underway and I'm ready to take it to the next level. Who knows, maybe there's a physique competition in my future. Please consider me for the bundle giveaway, I will not disappoint. Sal, I'm probably one of few fans who's familiar with the Sicilian Trinacria logo on your t-shirt. Keep up the great work. Best regards, Phil
Guys guys guys!!!! I am your #1 fan. I just started getting consistent and still do not have a workout plan. I watch your episodes often and wouldn’t want guidance from any other TH-cam channel for workouts. Please and thanks 🙏🏼
This is exactly the information I needed! I've been lifting for about 6 months now and have injured my shoulder. Bench pressing and overhead pressing is so painful. I've taken some time off to heal, but I've had no idea where to go from here. Thank you guys for all the info you share!
Having investing my time in fitness during the first lockdown you guys have really helped out on this journey, always learning more from each podcast thank you!
All of these motions are something that my partner and I use DAILY at our jobs. We work at a restaurant (I'm a server and they're a cook) and honestly learning proper lifting form in the gym and doing these mobility isolations has been a game changer in how the physicality of the job wares on my body after a few long shifts in a row. Any food and bev workers reading this, PLEASE PLEASE do some of these I promise your life will change
Great episode today lads! Whenever I heavy squatted I had horrible knee pain. I kept going until i genuinely couldn’t bend my knees anymore. I temporarily stopped barbell squatting and started reverse treadmill walking for 10 mins as well as the ATG Split Squat from Knees over toes guy. Now, I have no pain when full knee bending. I still have hip and ankle mobility issues and so the next goal is to fix those.
My main sport is rock climbing and about a year ago, I started incorporating weight lifting once a week in my training routine (deadlifts, squats, etc). Also added more calories to my diet and creatine. Climbing is notorious for being a body weight dependent sport. Being a woman also doesn’t help as the ideal body image we’ve been fed is to look slim. I put on about 10lbs of muscle and ended up climbing harder and setting new fingerboard PRs - how much total weight (body weight + extra) you can hang off your fingers. I experience less injuries on harder climbs and any niggles I get tend to heal a lot faster. I can also hold body tension longer on steeper walls. On days inbetween training, I’ll do trigger sessions then follow up with a super low intensity fingerboard sesh (30% intensity) to take advantage of the anabolic signals. Appreciate the content you guys create. We need to encourage more women to lift. The more lean muscle a woman has when she’s younger will benefit her when she goes through peri-menopause and menopause.
Love all that you guys do! Have come to your channel for so many different issues I’ve been facing the past few months and have my life back on the right track! Thank you so much! Keep changing lives!
Guys I just want to say thank you, I’m just starting off my career in personal training, and your show has given me a very different perspective on the world of fitness, can’t thank you enough, don’t ever stop!!
I definitely picked up a lot of great field information as a trainer even with 10 years. My girlfriend and i are working a trying routines to get us both shredded.
Literally blamed my knees forever since I was diagnosed with Osgood Slaughters disease when I was a kid. Then blamed my knee pain and inability to squat or deadlift on the years of military trauma from running, ruck marching and jumping out of airplanes. I finally quit playing victim with myself and from watching mindpump learning about the importance of mobility I realized I am just weak in those stability areas. It hurt pretty bad doing the Mobility exercises but I understood that it wasn’t pain from something medically but I know now it’s because of the lack of strength and mobility plus not practicing those movements. So I just continued on with the stretches lil by lil pushing my mobility more and more. And after a few months of that my knees were already feeling stronger and I could get in to a deep squat position which was mind blowing for me. Never in a million years would I have thought I could squat that deep. ( squat and scroll shirt comes today lol). Now after I’d say about 8 months my legs from the hips to the ankles feel stronger than ever! I’m deep squatting with weight on the bar and deadlifting with no straps, no belt, no knee sleeves ( I used to wear it all lol). I’ve changed my focus and goals from wanting to “look good” to just living a healthy life and making exercise apart of every day/weekly life, staying consistent. And after Sal’s selfie on Instagram the other day, had to put him on my vision board as my dad bod goal. I have a few years to get there but 💪🏽.
I am currently doing the Pro Physique 90 Day Transformation Challenge and I think it would be a STATEMENT following one of the programs and placing in the challenge. I was thinking of buying the Aesthetic program as well as the Prime. You guys are a reputable source and the best at helping individual people achieving their individual goal. Appreciate you guys for all the content you put out to help the every circumstance lifter.
Due to shoulder mobility / pain I no longer can do low bar Squats regularly. Instead I do SSB Squats and TrapBar Squats / Deadlifts in the same session alternating rep ranges 3s and 8s each session. This allows me to occasionally do Low Bar Squats. I am 66 BTW. I do RDLs and Good Mornings more often than I conventional Deadlift. I tend to do Incline Barbell or DB Presses instead of overhead pressing. One factor for me is that I have spent decades at the keyboard as an engineer. I do band work for mobility. I do Goblet Squats or Rogue Echo Sprints on Upper day as activation. This all noted I have been following advice here on improving mobility. Thank you so much.
Commenting from the land down under, just letting you guys know what a great job you're doing and how much your work is influencing lives, mine included, for the best. Keep up the great work.
Just wanna say thanks to you guys. I used to be an athlete, but started my career a few years back where I sit behind a desk for 10-12 hours a day (engineering consultant) and now have almost a completely sedentary lifestyle. Truth is I’ve always had pretty decent genetics (Spartan and Sicilian) so I haven’t put on a ton of weight or anything, but definitely lost a lot of muscle mass and gotten a little soft around the midsection. Somehow stumbled on your podcast about a month ago and you guys inspired me to get back to the gym. Doing a 3-day full body routine and already seeing results and feeling stronger. Just happy to be working towards improving my body and my health. So thank you all for giving me the boost I needed and teaching me along the way!
Hi Mind Pump! Subscribed recently and love your content so far. Just finished a 12 week program after a long period of training sub-optimally. Managed to put 10kg on all 3 of the main powerlifting lifts. Need to keep the momentum going and capitalise on my progress. An intermediate bundle would sort me out amazingly well and I would really appreciate it. In 9 months I want those PR's to be toast!
Thanks guys 🙂 I must say I'm loving all the mobility in MAPS Performance, especially the stick exercises. I love that you focus on longevity by training in different planes and focusing on mobility. Since following your show I've dropped weight to ensure full range of movement. Thank you for all the great advice 🙏
I'm 32 and I have been trying for yeaaars to get into a workout routine. But as someone who was never active, i always hanged onto a routine for a short while then fell off. Also, before you...I believed I needed cardio and more cardio, high intensity circuits and...overall to leave the gym feeling dead :)) I love that you dispel all these myths and teach us how to workout in an efficient and healthy way, long term
Exercise has changed my life for good. Been training for hypertrophy and learning a lot from you everyday. Unfortunately I'm not getting the gains I think I could. Nutrition is fine (counting my macros, currently bulking), but I think I have a lot to learn about program design (and tweaking). Hoping one day I will be able to try your programs and see if I can make more progress. Anyway, just want to say thank you for all the knowledge and fun! :)
I deadlift frequently and helped my uncle move some “heavy” speakers. I lifted one on my own and he made sure I knew how “bad that was for my back”. I got pretty upset as I felt completely fine and comfortable with my form and ability to lift the ~maybe~ 60lb speakers. Thank you for this episode as it will help me explain to my uncle why I will continue to lift despite his disapproval.
Keep the good content coming ! And the free programs ! :) My picks : Squat -> box squat, heel elevated Deadlift -> db romanian dl, seated good morning, single-leg DL supported OHP -> DB neutral press, db z-press, pike pushup, Bench -> pushup Dips -> deep pushup on paralettes with pause Pullup -> inverted rows Abs -> deadbug
I am lucky to have found Mind Pump, coming from France, none of this information was educated to women. I have learned so much. Thanks Mind Pump, helping me through my health journey.
You guys are awesome. I have learned so much listening to this podcast. After one year of MAPS Anabolic, Performance, then Aesthetic, I have been able to fully transform my life, health, and physique!
Massive massive respect to the Mind Pump Theme! I would love to get the beginner bundle guys! I read Sal's book and followed the total body dummbell program and lost 22 pounds and also built some muscle. I think the next step for me is to go for the beginner bundle and transform my body
Yehaaaw buddy ..Would love interm. bundle...I reached a plateu and slowly progressing after 2 yrs workout. Would love my exercise to skyrocket with new program . Love your podcasts and hi from sunny Croatia
I've been looking to advance my overall strength and have gained huge amounts of noob muscle that I wish to turn into old man strength. I'm 5'8 68kg and am sitting at 14-16% body fat. I've been listening to the show for a while now and I consider my experience 100% successful with the anabolic program. It's the only one I own and I feel like it's the best rinse repeat programs I've ever used.
I'm a super underpaid nanny and I don't have a bank account. I work out while the kids play at the playground. I've been playing pretty much every full episode for a few months now. I've learned so much from you guys. I also love that Sal is a libertarian.
I would totally love to have my trainings planned for 9 months , since life have been a little bit overwhelmig last months it was extremely difficult to plan my workouts - so i always just went to the gym, did random excercises and that was it. Having a plan would take a lot of weight off my soulders (metaphorically :D ) and it would be easier to trust the proccess. I love your podcasts, listening to you every day. And thank you for those giveaways!
Benching used to be such a pain for me, biceps tendonosis was my diagnosis. If I’m not mistaken, it was tendinitis that was never properly treated and got progressively worse. Started doing things such as face pulls and scapular push ups to prime for any upper body pushing, and it definitely helped at the time. I love the wall test and handcuffs now as well to keep the shoulders feeling good.
Great content as always! I've recently tried working the deadlift into my routine and found that I was having lower back pain, so have been doing single leg RDLs which has helped.
Yo, I just started working out seriously this year, and am 19 years old. I have no previous experience in weightlifting or exercise for that matter, and am really motivated to getting built for the first time.
I never thought I'd be one to do strength training but look at me now XD, absolutely loving it. It makes me feel good, helps me be more productive, and gives me so much confidence. I'd love to get these programs, guys. I will cherish them for years, if not forever.
I just bought the body transformation bundle!!! My wife convinced me to do it cuz i wont shut up about how much i wanna win it by commenting on a video haha i love your show, im looking forward to starting Anabolic next week! I will follow it exactly as it’s written and im gonna start at Phase 1 🤩🤩🤩 💪🏼 love your show!!
Love Mind Pump. I just keep applying your information to my own training and in helping my wife who now does resistance training. I hope to help others as well by sharing your great information with them. Keep it up boys! 💪
Amazing amazing amazing stuff 1) What benefits people who have a longer femur then tibia? It literally is impossible for them to go for a nice atg squat. Doesn't matter how much these people do flexibility and mobility stuff because of the anatomical restriction. 2) Also what Deadlift option for this body type? I bet that would help many of your viewers, if you would talk about that (information and the best exercise options for different body types). Go MindPumpTv!💪🏻
If you dont want to lose the skill of Squating for example, you can keep the skill of squating by keeping the weight at 132 pounds for 3x10. You dont need to Squat 225 + pounds to keep the skill of squating.
I started working out around 7 months ago. I couldn't even squat properly due to knee pain. I thought that it might be due to my weight, so I started holding on to something while squatting, it helped a lot. I could do a lot of reps without any pain, so I just practiced the form every day by doing some squats. After about a month I could do squats without any problems or pains, so I gradually started to add some weight. I've now maxed out on weights (132lb's) since I work out at home and that's all I got, so I've also started to look into doing pistol squats. I can now properly do 5 reps on my right, but I got problems with my left leg, so I've taken similar approach to the situation and I'm doing them assisted. I've also walked a lot so that most likely has helped me with possible ankle mobility issues and has helped me to bring my weight down.
I was going great up until 48 years old. Now my back/spine moves out of place if I put to much pressure on it. Last time it happened I thought I was going to have to get someone to carry me out of the gym. Lol. After several painful trial and errors, I can no longer squat with too much weight on the bar. I use to love it too :(
I need that Body Transformation Bundle.. I am a fitness enthusiast,, a trainer/instructor at a gym and need your programs to help educate myself. Especially MAPS PRIME, ESSENTIAL FOR ALL COACHES AND TRAINERS...I listen to you all the time, and you have incredible content ,and advice , such great knowledge.
It's really awesome that even though money is tight right now, I can still come to this channel and check out all this free stuff you guys give us.

Hell ya
It's called noobie gainz everyone make progress when starting it out rapidly with the right mindset.

I am currently doing the Pro Physique 90 Day Transformation Challenge and I think it would be a STATEMENT following one of the programs and placing in the challenge. I was thinking of buying the Aesthetic program as well as the Prime. You guys are a reputable source and the best at helping individual people achieving their individual goal. Appreciate you guys for all the content you put out to help the every circumstance lifter.
Due to shoulder mobility / pain I no longer can do low bar Squats regularly. Instead I do SSB Squats and TrapBar Squats / Deadlifts in the same session alternating rep ranges 3s and 8s each session. This allows me to occasionally do Low Bar Squats. I am 66 BTW. I do RDLs and Good Mornings more often than I conventional Deadlift. I tend to do Incline Barbell or DB Presses instead of overhead pressing. One factor for me is that I have spent decades at the keyboard as an engineer. I do band work for mobility. I do Goblet Squats or Rogue Echo Sprints on Upper day as activation. This all noted I have been following advice here on improving mobility. Thank you so much.
I listen to the pod every night before bed. Y’all are the best, appreciate all you guys do. Would love the program!!
Commenting from the land down under, just letting you guys know what a great job you're doing and how much your work is influencing lives, mine included, for the best. Keep up the great work.
Love the free webinars, mobility, stability and strength in full range of motion is often underrated imo
I love these episodes that are all about fitness you guys have so much useful knowledge and advice. Thanks.
Thanks for all that you do, I am gradually seeing results in my body. Thanks
It's unbelievable how much great content you guys offer for free through this channel. Thanks for all you do!
Can’t wait to listen to the webinar Thank you
Just wanna say thanks to you guys. I used to be an athlete, but started my career a few years back where I sit behind a desk for 10-12 hours a day (engineering consultant) and now have almost a completely sedentary lifestyle. Truth is I’ve always had pretty decent genetics (Spartan and Sicilian) so I haven’t put on a ton of weight or anything, but definitely lost a lot of muscle mass and gotten a little soft around the midsection. Somehow stumbled on your podcast about a month ago and you guys inspired me to get back to the gym. Doing a 3-day full body routine and already seeing results and feeling stronger. Just happy to be working towards improving my body and my health. So thank you all for giving me the boost I needed and teaching me along the way!
Thanks for the golden info! Thanks for the company during my walks :)
Hi Mind Pump! Subscribed recently and love your content so far. Just finished a 12 week program after a long period of training sub-optimally. Managed to put 10kg on all 3 of the main powerlifting lifts. Need to keep the momentum going and capitalise on my progress. An intermediate bundle would sort me out amazingly well and I would really appreciate it. In 9 months I want those PR's to be toast!
Thanks guys 🙂 I must say I'm loving all the mobility in MAPS Performance, especially the stick exercises. I love that you focus on longevity by training in different planes and focusing on mobility. Since following your show I've dropped weight to ensure full range of movement. Thank you for all the great advice 🙏
I'm 32 and I have been trying for yeaaars to get into a workout routine. But as someone who was never active, i always hanged onto a routine for a short while then fell off. Also, before you...I believed I needed cardio and more cardio, high intensity circuits and...overall to leave the gym feeling dead :)) I love that you dispel all these myths and teach us how to workout in an efficient and healthy way, long term
I loooove mind pump! You guys are helping me pursue my goal of a personal trainer.. cant thank you guys enough 💜🙌💪
Thanks for the information you provide regularly. I have been benefiting tremendously from it. Fitness is fun thanks to you guys.
Exercise has changed my life for good. Been training for hypertrophy and learning a lot from you everyday. Unfortunately I'm not getting the gains I think I could. Nutrition is fine (counting my macros, currently bulking), but I think I have a lot to learn about program design (and tweaking). Hoping one day I will be able to try your programs and see if I can make more progress. Anyway, just want to say thank you for all the knowledge and fun! :)
Get me off 5/3/1 and i'll document it! Trying to get strong this year
I deadlift frequently and helped my uncle move some “heavy” speakers. I lifted one on my own and he made sure I knew how “bad that was for my back”. I got pretty upset as I felt completely fine and comfortable with my form and ability to lift the ~maybe~ 60lb speakers. Thank you for this episode as it will help me explain to my uncle why I will continue to lift despite his disapproval.
Love your content! Some of the best in the game! Now I listen on the daily! Keep up the good work!
Such a good podcast, very informative. I listen every one in the same day it releases.
Thanks this is the info Im looking for longevity no dogma just real results with mobility through the ages in mind
Keep the good content coming ! And the free programs ! :)
My picks :
Squat -> box squat, heel elevated
Deadlift -> db romanian dl, seated good morning, single-leg DL supported
OHP -> DB neutral press, db z-press, pike pushup,
Bench -> pushup
Dips -> deep pushup on paralettes with pause
Pullup -> inverted rows
Abs -> deadbug
I am lucky to have found Mind Pump, coming from France, none of this information was educated to women. I have learned so much. Thanks Mind Pump, helping me through my health journey.
Mindpump is not just great info for workout but overall pop culture, economy and are authentic, thank you
You guys are awesome. I have learned so much listening to this podcast. After one year of MAPS Anabolic, Performance, then Aesthetic, I have been able to fully transform my life, health, and physique!
Massive massive respect to the Mind Pump Theme! I would love to get the beginner bundle guys! I read Sal's book and followed the total body dummbell program and lost 22 pounds and also built some muscle. I think the next step for me is to go for the beginner bundle and transform my body
You have very insightful information. Great help to all the bros.
Scoliosis. One example of a situation which would require a very mindful program. An imbalanced approach maybe, to Justin's point.
You guys changed the course of my twenties. Mind pump is inssaannnee!
Yehaaaw buddy ..Would love interm. bundle...I reached a plateu and slowly progressing after 2 yrs workout. Would love my exercise to skyrocket with new program . Love your podcasts and hi from sunny Croatia
Killer knowledge free of cost👌💪. Almost half of the Maps programs content you guys give free of cost on the podcast 😃
I've been looking to advance my overall strength and have gained huge amounts of noob muscle that I wish to turn into old man strength. I'm 5'8 68kg and am sitting at 14-16% body fat. I've been listening to the show for a while now and I consider my experience 100% successful with the anabolic program. It's the only one I own and I feel like it's the best rinse repeat programs I've ever used.
9 month programing? Damn, I could definitely use that. Tired of my repetitive exercises
I'm a super underpaid nanny and I don't have a bank account. I work out while the kids play at the playground. I've been playing pretty much every full episode for a few months now. I've learned so much from you guys. I also love that Sal is a libertarian.
I would totally love to have my trainings planned for 9 months , since life have been a little bit overwhelmig last months it was extremely difficult to plan my workouts - so i always just went to the gym, did random excercises and that was it. Having a plan would take a lot of weight off my soulders (metaphorically :D ) and it would be easier to trust the proccess. I love your podcasts, listening to you every day. And thank you for those giveaways!
Benching used to be such a pain for me, biceps tendonosis was my diagnosis. If I’m not mistaken, it was tendinitis that was never properly treated and got progressively worse.
Started doing things such as face pulls and scapular push ups to prime for any upper body pushing, and it definitely helped at the time. I love the wall test and handcuffs now as well to keep the shoulders feeling good.
Thank you for all the tips! Love the show :)
Great content as always! I've recently tried working the deadlift into my routine and found that I was having lower back pain, so have been doing single leg RDLs which has helped.
Body and mind primed. ✔
Body and mind pumped. ✔
Body and mind Gainz. ✔
I lacked mobility to do a squat with full range of motion/ proper technique and now I can thanks to Mind Pump.
I’d love to try a program! Thanks for the content listen to everyone!
Yo, I just started working out seriously this year, and am 19 years old. I have no previous experience in weightlifting or exercise for that matter, and am really motivated to getting built for the first time.
Thank you guys for your great content 👏 🙏
I had a doctor tell because my cartilage is worn out that I can't do squats, lunges or go up stairs and was really defeating
I never thought I'd be one to do strength training but look at me now XD, absolutely loving it. It makes me feel good, helps me be more productive, and gives me so much confidence. I'd love to get these programs, guys. I will cherish them for years, if not forever.
I just bought the body transformation bundle!!! My wife convinced me to do it cuz i wont shut up about how much i wanna win it by commenting on a video haha i love your show, im looking forward to starting Anabolic next week! I will follow it exactly as it’s written and im gonna start at Phase 1 🤩🤩🤩 💪🏼 love your show!!
Love Mind Pump. I just keep applying your information to my own training and in helping my wife who now does resistance training. I hope to help others as well by sharing your great information with them. Keep it up boys! 💪
I’m gonna choose intermediate bundle just perfect for me☺️🙏🏽 letz go💪🏽
!!!!!!!!Bundle Time!!!!!!!!
Amazing amazing amazing stuff
1) What benefits people who have a longer femur then tibia?
It literally is impossible for them to go for a nice atg squat.
Doesn't matter how much these people do flexibility and mobility stuff because of the anatomical restriction.
2) Also what Deadlift option for this body type?
I bet that would help many of your viewers, if you would talk about that (information and the best exercise options for different body types).
Go MindPumpTv!💪🏻
If you dont want to lose the skill of Squating for example, you can keep the skill of squating by keeping the weight at 132 pounds for 3x10. You dont need to Squat 225 + pounds to keep the skill of squating.
Man these guys have changed the way I exercise man
I started working out around 7 months ago. I couldn't even squat properly due to knee pain. I thought that it might be due to my weight, so I started holding on to something while squatting, it helped a lot. I could do a lot of reps without any pain, so I just practiced the form every day by doing some squats. After about a month I could do squats without any problems or pains, so I gradually started to add some weight. I've now maxed out on weights (132lb's) since I work out at home and that's all I got, so I've also started to look into doing pistol squats. I can now properly do 5 reps on my right, but I got problems with my left leg, so I've taken similar approach to the situation and I'm doing them assisted. I've also walked a lot so that most likely has helped me with possible ankle mobility issues and has helped me to bring my weight down.
I was going great up until 48 years old. Now my back/spine moves out of place if I put to much pressure on it. Last time it happened I thought I was going to have to get someone to carry me out of the gym. Lol. After several painful trial and errors, I can no longer squat with too much weight on the bar. I use to love it too :(
I need that Body Transformation Bundle.. I am a fitness enthusiast,, a trainer/instructor at a gym and need your programs to help educate myself. Especially MAPS PRIME, ESSENTIAL FOR ALL COACHES AND TRAINERS...I listen to you all the time, and you have incredible content ,and advice , such great knowledge.
