Thanks to you guys I’ve been able to increase my calories to about 2400-2500 from about 1400 while maintaining the same weight 😂 didn’t know that was possible. Thank you so much!
Adam: “I’m going to keep you fed and we’re going to get you strong right now.” This is beautiful and I wish I’d heard this 20 years ago. I spent so many years (in my teens and 20s) reducing calories and doing tons of cardio trying to lose weight, and I yo-yo’d for a long time. Looking back now, I can see just how much I did to work against my body instead of with it, but since Oct 5th, 2021 (almost a year ago) when I started true resistance training for the first time, I finally felt like I’m working with my body, and I am glad to say I am being fed and getting stronger. And I honestly cannot believe how much my metabolism has sped up! I know it is in large part due to the wealth of information and advice I’ve gotten from Mindpump. Thank you guys so much.
Word. The teens and twenties are like that. There’s new problems in our forties and up. I lose weight to make my legs look great. Now my ribs look gaunt. So I gain weight to look healthy, now my thighs look unfit. So i try to grow huge leg muscles and intercostals. Whatever. If I’m not always moving, my body doesn’t have a pump. I’ve decided i might just have to have chubby thighs or a scrawny chest. But i can’t choose which is worse. So i just look meh.
I’ve been trying to convince my girlfriend of ALL of this for MONTHS! Finally sent this to her this morning and she’s come around 😂 You guys rock, never change.
I highly recommend getting a DEXA scan. I’ve been strength training for 3 months. I started the process by getting my blood work done and a dexa scan. My second scan, at the 3 month mark showed I had decreased fat mass by 0.4lbs, increased lean mass by 23.5lbs!, and increased bone mass by 0.3lbs. Just looking at the scale it doesn’t look good. Looking at results in strength, body composition, how I look and feel tell the real story and it’s awesome.
Excellent information, gents! After my husband's passing last year I spent a lot of time focusing on mental strength. The past few months have been shifting to trying to build physical strength for practical (keeping up with growing sons) and motivational reasons (feeling more confident). I love your straightforward presentation and actionable advice.
I love the content of your podcasts. As a physician, I am very impressed with the knowledge and scientific data you refer to engage your listeners to improve their health journey. In particular, I am impressed with Sal's devotion to research and staying up to date on the latest studies. My husband just recommended you guys to me a few weeks ago. I listen to your discussions daily at work between seeing patients. I have started some at home strength training about 5 weeks ago as the treadmill 4 times a week (walk with a few sprints) for the last 5 years and yo-yo dieting for the past 20 years has not helped. My weight has remained pretty steady the past 10 years unless I do the latest fad diet which is not sustainable. I am 54 with 4 grown kids and am now turning to getting "buff" as my 17 year old would say. Or at least increasing muscle mass and strength. I am motivated to continue and am hopeful for some progression in my health. Thank you guys for all you do!
The quality sleep part is so true. We just had a newborn two days ago. Yesterday was squat day. Obviously i barely slept last night. My legs have never been this sore from squats. Im going to have to tell my baby boy he’s got to sleep so I can recover properly 🤣
At 44, I have gone from 5’10” at 185 and a 34” waist to 190 with a 30” waist. I go pretty hard on compound lifts 3 hrs a week, about 1 total hr sauna time and very high protein diet. I eat when I am hungry and my cravings for crap have gone away. Strength is noticeable. Started working out with 155 bench, now work out with 205. I avoid added sugar as much as I can
I wish my wife listened to you guys. Been building my metabolism like you said and having great results. Dropping weight, having energy to workout, and not being miserable during the whole process.
Everything these guys are saying will work. However, if you are older like I am (60 years old) it will probably take longer than you think. Multiply your expectations by 5-10 and that will get you closer to reality.
Very true, I am a 71 year old woman, started weight training at age 66. Progress was slow but once I got in shape , I can now maintain my weight and muscle mass. My motto, never too old!
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I was really wanting to increase my metabolism and was tired of hearing the suggestions of doing more cardio, eating less from other sources. Thank you for keeping it real, and giving us invaluable suggestions.
Cardio vs building muscle is like having the high paying stressful job and spending 90% of the money on self-care routines just to survive, or working the less stressful lower paying job and keeping 90% of the money to save and invest.
As as a 52 yr old menopausal woman overcoming diet culture, I was attentively listening to this! The best change I've made was focusing on lifting heavier and not cardio. No more marathons of any kind. I'm learning to work smarter but not harder. Still learning!
I am soo glad i started listening to you guys! I have struggled with restriction and cardio throughout my life and now after having my first baby i feel the weight has stuck to me and no matter what i do it hasn’t budged. I have been in a depression due to this but The biggest blessing for me listening to you all was my mindset. I am actually trying to change my behaviors of bingeing or punishing myself. I feel a weight lifted to know there are better options. I just started my weight training journey and im excited to see my progress. Thank you for all the information you put out into the world. We need more !
Week 4 of maps starter and just started reverse dieting. Tired of constantly dieting and you guys give me hope that there’s a way to end this vicious cycle. Thank you.
I’m just starting out on a journey to lose a hundred pounds and hearing eat less and run from basically everyone in my life but I’m sticking to 3 days of compound lifts and walking. If it takes 5 years but it’s sustainable, so be it
I'm starting to realize how badly I've messed up my metabolism over the years of yo-yo dieting, binge eating, fasting, over exercising, etc. Reverse dieting and fueling my body and my training is my current goal. Definitely a difficult road to reapproach almost everything, but I'm feeling so much stronger already.
Im wondering how you work up to eating larger amounts?? Ive been training for the past 10 weeks with a trainer and we are gradually adding higher macro targets. My Biggest Hurdle is eating more because I feel so full and Im trying to stuff myself to reach those targets. Ive already gained 6kg.
So I’m 22 I’m super active I weight train 5/6 days a week and do about 30 mins of cardio a day and my calories are around 1800 a day which is a deficit but I’m still not loose weight and I have a lot of fat to loose should I take the cardio out completely?
Cut more. I'm 5'7" 172lbs came down from 192. 1.8k-2.2k is my maintenance. I cut down to 1.35 k cal. Two 500 cal meals one 350. I weightlift 5 times per week. The average step is 14k, four 2 mile runs per week and 10mile hike every other week. Never feel fatigued or that hungry except if I have dinner early. Thats how i loose weight.
When I started my fitness and weight loss journey, I did the typical cut calories as much as possible approach. I’m so happy I found you guys only a few months in before I slow down my metabolism too much. I’m eating so much more than I thought I would be able to while losing weight now.
These guys are the real deal. I learned this by mistake going over my calories pigging out for a week on vacation. Came home and assumed I gained weight. I actually lost more weight by adding more calories and getting proper rest/reduced stress. The human body is amazing smh.
Hi Sal, Adam and Justin, excellent this is clearly untangle the mixed messages ive absorbed into my psyche. Building muscle to assist my metabolism has been my achilles heel, I couldn't make the connection. The cardio ratio in my previous workout was too high. Muscle for longevity is King. Thanks so much. I'm 53, life savers you guys are. Altona Meadows, Melbourne Australia 💪🙏
Fantastic episode. Really enjoyed it. With regards to sleep, can sleep be split? E.g can I sleep 6 hours at night and then get in a day nap for around 1-2hrs, or should we try sleeping around 8hrs straight?
Hey guys, been watching you for a couple months now and I’m hooked to your podcasts! So informative and entertaining! Quick question! What would you recommend for healthier high protein snacks???
Id like to volunteer myself for that free plan. If I don't win, I'm gonna put some dirt in everyone's eye and laugh as I say "Howd that get in there?" You can avoid this problematic situation by simply choosing "me" as the winner. You've be warned.
Thanks guys. Hits home as someone who went through 15 years of an eating disorder. And recently cushings like symptoms with cortisol and weight gain. Was always into weight lifting and building muscle has been the one biggest factor of getting stubborn fat off (as well as moods elevated and normalized). Everything said is so on point!!! I shared this with my good friend that is obese and insists on cardio as first choice for exercise. Praying she takes the advice cause she is so sold on weight watcher's... hate the program.. does great for portion control BUT purported and fat are high points so she ends up eating a ton of fruit ( no points) and low fat& processed carbs.
The problem is once you stop resistance training long term, for whatever reasons, but do not cut the excess calorie intake that you took because of a higher basal metabolism due to more muscle mass, you will pack on the pounds. 🤷🏻 It has to be a lifetime pursuit or journey. That said, runners cannot not be fat. As much as you claim that cardio is somehow not as beneficial for metabolism as resistance training, the average runner is more likely to be less fat than the average lifter. I cannot deny this observation.
I love that you guys explain things simple and practical and can i add truthful and that you’re respectful and understanding to regular people not just athletes like some other fitness podcast which expect everyone to be one i like to work out and be healthy and in shape and listening to you guys helps me to get better in my lifestyle keep up the great work guys
I've always had a fast metabolism and could eat whatever I wanted and still stay lean. It used to be so fast that sometimes I couldn't eat enough to keep the fat from melting off of me. I've also been active and athletic all my life. However over the last couple of years it seems my gut bacteria got messed up, I got really sick and now I get bloated after I eat and I have body fat I can't drop, mostly on my belly. Even though I have been eating healthier and I'm probably more muscular than I've ever been through weight lifting and doing all the things to promote mental wellness, I'm still at a loss of what to do to correct my metabolism (if that's even the issue). It's definitely helped me to have more compassion for people who have a hard time losing weight -- its not just about exercising and eating less.
Thank you guys so much, after finding your channel, and watching the similar videos on metabolism and fat loss from u guys, u have made my fat loss journey so much easier and simple. Those "get a 6 pack quick" are usually nonsense, but u lot are the exception💪💪😅 Thanks so much u bois are champions🔥🔥🏋♂️
Started working out 2 mouths ago, lost 16 pounds from my original weight 228. I currently working on my belly fat working out 4-5 days a week and meal prepping. Thanks for all the information you give the community. it helped me and I hope it helps others in there journey💪🏽
How slow is someone walking to only burn 150 cals in 40 min? On average depending on BW/speed, you'll burn 100-150 per mile..At a brisk pace, someone should do 2.5-3 miles in 40 min.
I needed to hear this.. my jeans/trousers have been feeling so much tighter but my upper body is really lean. I just couldn’t understand why I was getting bigger around my bum & thighs! I now feel so much better hearing this! I was going to cut back my calories but I will continue as I am. Thanks guys!
I lift 5 days a week and have been in a calorie deficit for so long .. the biggest struggle now, is to overcome the fear of increasing calories. After losing a lot fat, mentally I have a huge fear of putting it back on, I can’t get myself to increase calories … it’s all mental .. I still have some body fat to lose, but also want to make progress in strength gains. (49; 5’3; 137, 1470 calories)
God I need this.... wish I hadn't bought anabolic yesterday I would of got this bundle 😂 I've been dieting for years and over training for years ( really struggling on cutting down workouts I love going to the gym) but with the anabolic program you only do 3 days so ill try to cut down. I really have a deep sense of need to burn lots of calories and eat nothing to loose weight amd I can't get my head around that is wrong. currently having 1300 cals a day I'm 39 6ft and 72kg (I was 120kg) I think I've really messed up my metabolism if I'm honest
Need help getting this through to me. I'm a cardio bunny that absolutely loves my 2hr incline fast walking everyday. Yes everyday. But now I want to get jacked (well build some muscle on my short arse skinny fat mum bod) but I am so scorn from my past with get the calorie burn I'm scared to drop it. I have 4 days I can weight train kid free but still struggle not seeing the calories burnt. Also I'm weak as heck. Your videos are slowly helping me get over this mind hump but I'm internally fighting even though I know you are right. Help! Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Great episode, Reverse dieting is what I’m currently doing, I was at 1700 calories 5 months ago, now I’m at 2800 and about to try 3100 as soon as I deal with some medical issues, I don’t feel hungry anymore, it helped me break a plateau and besides a few health issues, I feel great, I’m also looking forward to maps 15 minutes, it will fit in my lifestyle very well, thank you for all your content!!!
I heard a awesome quote that I think everyone should keep in mind for their fitness journey or just life in general. And it goes “Comparison is the thief of joy “.
OMG. I’m so glad I found you guys channel. You all broke down so simply how I use cardio negatively. Strength training and eating correctly is where it’s at. I really need to focus and get a handle on my eating habits that way my metabolism can normalize.
Im so confused on cardio, so say I burn 2000 calories then I run 2 miles a day to burn 2300. Eventually my body will get used to the 2 miles so instead of burning 2300 calories Im gonna burn say 2100? So at this point I might as well not do any cardio if its for fat loss?
Man I've been thinking what you guys are saying for years! It's music to my ears to hear you guys saying it in ways that make a lot more sense then how i said it to the few that would ever listen. What would you guys recommend for a guy like Zion Williamson? He's super Athletic and strong and his weight helps him dominate but apparently it's making him injury prone now that he's trying to play a pro schedule, what do you think?
I yoyo-ed so many times that one day i said ok fck it, if im gona be fat BUT!!! bigger belly would look much smaller and overall appearence woud look better with wide back and shoulders and big arms even with the fat on me. I started training heavy and focused on building muscle and my belly got smaller and smaller with no changes on body weight! So i have less % of body fat and more muscles and if i compare befote and after im a different person.
Ironically, my sister & I were trying to figure this out. We both have 20 to 30 pounds to lose. How would we increase slowly if we're already in a deficit we are following the 3 weeks deficit one week mini bulk. But, wod love to build our metabolism more & iikd muscle. We also are currently doing anabolic and love it. I've binged watched upir videos since January & have noticed a change but need more improvement!
Hello everyone. I am from India and I have been watching u for about two years now and u people are doing tremendous job for society. Currently I am 40 years young at about 71 kgs , eating about 2500 caloriesand have a gained a little bit of fat in abdominal area. I have been working out for around 4 years now. Currently I am slowly cutting my calories and reducing body fat. After I am at around 10 to 12 percent bodyfay, I will bulk up again around next month. Can I get your maps anabolic program
I agree with everything you guys said. But cardio makes you feel young and energized. It makes you walk/sprint up the stairs without breaking a sweat. For fat loss, resistance training is the best. For lung health and stamina, cardio all the way.
Do you guys have people who help you decide which program to get? Based upon my body type I am having a hard time. I love all your advice and have enjoyed hearing all the education!
Thank you guys for this content. Found your videos while looking up reverse dieting. I’m 42. Lost 28lbs over 28 months but was dead, weak, cold and tired. Started seeing a womens health and hormone specialist. She has started me on protein pacing, carb cycling…. It is so much more food than I’m used to, but these type of videos help me to not freak out. My calorie increase was pretty drastic, pretty fast, so I have gained 9 lbs in this detox, healing, feasting phase. But I have hope that I need to fix my metabolism and gain muscle that I lost. My tests results were awful in how much my body was breaking down muscle for energy. Wish I had know all this a few years ago, but at least I can start working back to a proper relationship with food and now adding in strength training. I prob need a actually routine to follow, but starting with no equipment training like squats, push ups, bridges, ect.
What’s better to cut or try and get cals higher I’m around 30%bf but still need some muscle I’m sorta stocky but got lagging muscles and injurys to sort out
for me, the main thing is not to be able to eat more for the enjoyment of food but for actually meeting my nutritional needs through food without having to supplement. it's hard to get all the nutrients you need on a 1400 calorie diet.
It really is a jungle out there! Trying to figure out how to begin a man's weight lifting journey from all the advice you find within TH-cam can be be mind numbing! SOOOO glad I found you guys when I did! I'm now finally making sense of what I need to be doing in order to start the right way. Thank You.
I really appreciate you guys and the various topics that you cover I have learned so much not only how to properly go about exercise and diet but also the mental part of it because that does fall by the wayside of the journey but I have learned that if your not mentally strong to understand what this journey will have you will fail every time and I have been there . So thank you 🙏🏿
Great episode! Adams point at the end cannot be overstated. I was working so hard over a year ago and was not getting any results. But my life was miserable and I was in a super stressful and unhealthy situation. Once I changed that, and moved on I was able to prioritize my health. My sleep is better, but still needs improvement. But with strength training I’ve built muscle, lost 30+ lbs so far in the past year, and changed my life for the better in so many was. The info on this podcast has been a game changer!
You cats are the best form of fitness info out there. Sal, I just picked up your book. Only 1/4 of the way through and it is already life changing! Thanks for what you do!
I’ve been running for 2 months after reaching 255lbs I was enjoying the runs but I was so stoked when a friend turned me onto this podcast and anabolic which I’m on week 3 of pre phase! I want to gain muscle and increase my metabolism! Idk my baseline calories either I have been trying to keep a deficit and eat a ton of protein. But it would be awesome to know my actual calorie burn per day
Hey guys thank you for doing this episode. It was at the right time as I am trying to lose weight. I am on a calorie deficit and have been trying to lose weight. I hit a plateau and I really do not want to go into a deeper calorie deficit. I am thinking of getting this bundle. Hopefully this bundle can help me get to my ideal weight and body look by the end of next year.
You guys are awesome, am a 40 year old man and after years of long, sweaty cardio sessions with Zero results I’m finally starting to get the body I want having followed your maps anabolic full body workout routines and diet advice. Love the show, regular viewer and listener, and as soon as funds allow I will be investing in more of your products! Rock on guys! Joe
Sal, Adam and Justin y'all have been fantastic with your all your advice related to focusing on building muscle, using strength as a metric and getting a good protein intake. I have been able to reduce 22 lbs in 6 months and my body fat has reduced from 25% to 20% all thanks to your advice! Love you guys 🙌
A question that's boggling my mind. Building muscle boosts metabolism, that's established very well. I'm currently trying to lose body fat, on a caloric deficit, taking my 150-160 gms of protein a day, and roughly around 2000-2200 calories and lifting weights too. Lost around 35 lbs so far. My question is building muscle boosts metabolism, but how does it work when you're trying to maintain muscle on caloric deficit and doing weight training at the same time. I'm kinna confused in that.
🫨Do you know how many calories I consume ?! 😭You’re right about the fear because I’m petrified to continue eating the same way yet continue strength training. Like how do you gain 40 pounds in 5 months and think that same eating habit coupled with 2 day’s training will get me where I want to be? It’s mind boggling yet makes sense cause I love my McDonald’s and Panera Bread and don’t want to stop eating it 🤭😂
Guys I know this video is a year old but please respond I’m a mailman and walk about 8-10 miles for 5 days how do I prevent muscle loss? Should I eat more calories?
Great episode guys!! So much bad info out there about losing fat by dieting at ridiculously low calories and throwing in hours of Cardio which is what ends up causing binge eating and eating disorders too. You say it as it is . Food should not be feared , it is our fuel and will help us to achieve our health and fitness goals provided it is real food and not the superprocessed crap full of sugars and chemicals designed to make us more hungry and addicted. Activity is so important and Walking is one of the most underestimated forms of activity for both fat loss and mental health. Keep up the amazing content guys!!!

Wow that’s awesome I am really struggling I really need help to do this
This proves calories in calories out is not an end in itself, there are other factors
@@TheForgivenman actually no lol
It just proves that calories out can be dramatically affected by what you body thinks it has to adapt for. Which is probably moreso what u meant
How much do you weigh
With the help of my psychologist, my family and you I have been able to overcome my anorexia nervosa.
Thank you very much!
You are so brave. 🎉❤
Congratulations! It must be such a relief and a huge load of anxiety off your back!!
This is incredible. Hope this comment finds you well ❤

might be a dumb question, but why are powerlifters/strongmen so pudgy? over-consuming calories and sedentary outside of practicing their lifts?

When I started my fitness and weight loss journey, I did the typical cut calories as much as possible approach. I’m so happy I found you guys only a few months in before I slow down my metabolism too much. I’m eating so much more than I thought I would be able to while losing weight now.
These guys are the real deal. I learned this by mistake going over my calories pigging out for a week on vacation. Came home and assumed I gained weight. I actually lost more weight by adding more calories and getting proper rest/reduced stress. The human body is amazing smh.
Me too!
Always excited for a new video, thanks for the excellent content!
Hi Sal, Adam and Justin, excellent this is clearly untangle the mixed messages ive absorbed into my psyche. Building muscle to assist my metabolism has been my achilles heel, I couldn't make the connection. The cardio ratio in my previous workout was too high. Muscle for longevity is King. Thanks so much. I'm 53, life savers you guys are. Altona Meadows, Melbourne Australia 💪🙏
Fantastic episode. Really enjoyed it. With regards to sleep, can sleep be split? E.g can I sleep 6 hours at night and then get in a day nap for around 1-2hrs, or should we try sleeping around 8hrs straight?
Hey guys, been watching you for a couple months now and I’m hooked to your podcasts! So informative and entertaining! Quick question! What would you recommend for healthier high protein snacks???
Best podcast while getting my steps in!
Id like to volunteer myself for that free plan. If I don't win, I'm gonna put some dirt in everyone's eye and laugh as I say "Howd that get in there?"
You can avoid this problematic situation by simply choosing "me" as the winner. You've be warned.
U change my fitness Lifestyle i do not how to Thank u .
Am almost done with maps anabolic which kind of maps program should i buy
After maps anabolic
Please pick me. This is the ultimate bundle that I’ve been waiting for. Really need it, would be much appreciated
Thanks guys. Hits home as someone who went through 15 years of an eating disorder. And recently cushings like symptoms with cortisol and weight gain. Was always into weight lifting and building muscle has been the one biggest factor of getting stubborn fat off (as well as moods elevated and normalized). Everything said is so on point!!! I shared this with my good friend that is obese and insists on cardio as first choice for exercise. Praying she takes the advice cause she is so sold on weight watcher's... hate the program.. does great for portion control BUT purported and fat are high points so she ends up eating a ton of fruit ( no points) and low fat& processed carbs.
The problem is once you stop resistance training long term, for whatever reasons, but do not cut the excess calorie intake that you took because of a higher basal metabolism due to more muscle mass, you will pack on the pounds. 🤷🏻
It has to be a lifetime pursuit or journey.
That said, runners cannot not be fat. As much as you claim that cardio is somehow not as beneficial for metabolism as resistance training, the average runner is more likely to be less fat than the average lifter. I cannot deny this observation.
I love that you guys explain things simple and practical and can i add truthful and that you’re respectful and understanding to regular people not just athletes like some other fitness podcast which expect everyone to be one i like to work out and be healthy and in shape and listening to you guys helps me to get better in my lifestyle keep up the great work guys
I've always had a fast metabolism and could eat whatever I wanted and still stay lean. It used to be so fast that sometimes I couldn't eat enough to keep the fat from melting off of me. I've also been active and athletic all my life. However over the last couple of years it seems my gut bacteria got messed up, I got really sick and now I get bloated after I eat and I have body fat I can't drop, mostly on my belly. Even though I have been eating healthier and I'm probably more muscular than I've ever been through weight lifting and doing all the things to promote mental wellness, I'm still at a loss of what to do to correct my metabolism (if that's even the issue). It's definitely helped me to have more compassion for people who have a hard time losing weight -- its not just about exercising and eating less.
Thank you guys so much, after finding your channel, and watching the similar videos on metabolism and fat loss from u guys, u have made my fat loss journey so much easier and simple. Those "get a 6 pack quick" are usually nonsense, but u lot are the exception💪💪😅
Thanks so much u bois are champions🔥🔥🏋♂️
Started working out 2 mouths ago, lost 16 pounds from my original weight 228. I currently working on my belly fat working out 4-5 days a week and meal prepping. Thanks for all the information you give the community. it helped me and I hope it helps others in there journey💪🏽
How slow is someone walking to only burn 150 cals in 40 min? On average depending on BW/speed, you'll burn 100-150 per mile..At a brisk pace, someone should do 2.5-3 miles in 40 min.
I needed to hear this.. my jeans/trousers have been feeling so much tighter but my upper body is really lean. I just couldn’t understand why I was getting bigger around my bum & thighs! I now feel so much better hearing this! I was going to cut back my calories but I will continue as I am. Thanks guys!
Reverse dieting is such a mental shift compared to the dieting mentality I've had way too long. Love learning ways I'll be able to eat MORE
I lift 5 days a week and have been in a calorie deficit for so long .. the biggest struggle now, is to overcome the fear of increasing calories. After losing a lot fat, mentally I have a huge fear of putting it back on, I can’t get myself to increase calories … it’s all mental .. I still have some body fat to lose, but also want to make progress in strength gains. (49; 5’3; 137, 1470 calories)
100%
God I need this.... wish I hadn't bought anabolic yesterday I would of got this bundle 😂
I've been dieting for years and over training for years ( really struggling on cutting down workouts I love going to the gym) but with the anabolic program you only do 3 days so ill try to cut down. I really have a deep sense of need to burn lots of calories and eat nothing to loose weight amd I can't get my head around that is wrong. currently having 1300 cals a day I'm 39 6ft and 72kg (I was 120kg) I think I've really messed up my metabolism if I'm honest
Need help getting this through to me. I'm a cardio bunny that absolutely loves my 2hr incline fast walking everyday. Yes everyday. But now I want to get jacked (well build some muscle on my short arse skinny fat mum bod) but I am so scorn from my past with get the calorie burn I'm scared to drop it. I have 4 days I can weight train kid free but still struggle not seeing the calories burnt. Also I'm weak as heck. Your videos are slowly helping me get over this mind hump but I'm internally fighting even though I know you are right. Help! Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Any tips for food tracking with ADHD? It’s SO BORING and tedious. I do it for a couple of days and then I JUST. CAN’T.
Great episode, Reverse dieting is what I’m currently doing, I was at 1700 calories 5 months ago, now I’m at 2800 and about to try 3100 as soon as I deal with some medical issues, I don’t feel hungry anymore, it helped me break a plateau and besides a few health issues, I feel great, I’m also looking forward to maps 15 minutes, it will fit in my lifestyle very well, thank you for all your content!!!
I heard a awesome quote that I think everyone should keep in mind for their fitness journey or just life in general. And it goes
“Comparison is the thief of joy “.
OMG. I’m so glad I found you guys channel. You all broke down so simply how I use cardio negatively. Strength training and eating correctly is where it’s at. I really need to focus and get a handle on my eating habits that way my metabolism can normalize.
What would you fellas suggest if I'm a competitive sports player... Keep up the cardio or interval training?
thank for all the health information you give everyone! always listen you you guys when I get done with my workout.
Great fokinng video. Felt like you guys were talking about every struggle I’ve ver had on my journey. Thank you god bless 🙏
Im so confused on cardio, so say I burn 2000 calories then I run 2 miles a day to burn 2300. Eventually my body will get used to the 2 miles so instead of burning 2300 calories Im gonna burn say 2100?
So at this point I might as well not do any cardio if its for fat loss?
Man I've been thinking what you guys are saying for years! It's music to my ears to hear you guys saying it in ways that make a lot more sense then how i said it to the few that would ever listen. What would you guys recommend for a guy like Zion Williamson? He's super Athletic and strong and his weight helps him dominate but apparently it's making him injury prone now that he's trying to play a pro schedule, what do you think?
I yoyo-ed so many times that one day i said ok fck it, if im gona be fat BUT!!! bigger belly would look much smaller and overall appearence woud look better with wide back and shoulders and big arms even with the fat on me.
I started training heavy and focused on building muscle and my belly got smaller and smaller with no changes on body weight! So i have less % of body fat and more muscles and if i compare befote and after im a different person.
Rest Days: Should I adjust/lower calories and how sedentary is TOO sedentary on rest days?
Ironically, my sister & I were trying to figure this out. We both have 20 to 30 pounds to lose. How would we increase slowly if we're already in a deficit we are following the 3 weeks deficit one week mini bulk. But, wod love to build our metabolism more & iikd muscle. We also are currently doing anabolic and love it. I've binged watched upir videos since January & have noticed a change but need more improvement!
Hello everyone. I am from India and I have been watching u for about two years now and u people are doing tremendous job for society.
Currently I am 40 years young at about 71 kgs , eating about 2500 caloriesand have a gained a little bit of fat in abdominal area. I have been working out for around 4 years now. Currently I am slowly cutting my calories and reducing body fat. After I am at around 10 to 12 percent bodyfay, I will bulk up again around next month. Can I get your maps anabolic program
I agree with everything you guys said. But cardio makes you feel young and energized. It makes you walk/sprint up the stairs without breaking a sweat.
For fat loss, resistance training is the best. For lung health and stamina, cardio all the way.
My legs and butt got bigger. I was wondering why I gained, but a body builder told me I'm bulking. So I'm ok with that!
Do you guys have people who help you decide which program to get? Based upon my body type I am having a hard time. I love all your advice and have enjoyed hearing all the education!
Thank you guys for this content. Found your videos while looking up reverse dieting. I’m 42. Lost 28lbs over 28 months but was dead, weak, cold and tired. Started seeing a womens health and hormone specialist. She has started me on protein pacing, carb cycling…. It is so much more food than I’m used to, but these type of videos help me to not freak out. My calorie increase was pretty drastic, pretty fast, so I have gained 9 lbs in this detox, healing, feasting phase. But I have hope that I need to fix my metabolism and gain muscle that I lost. My tests results were awful in how much my body was breaking down muscle for energy. Wish I had know all this a few years ago, but at least I can start working back to a proper relationship with food and now adding in strength training. I prob need a actually routine to follow, but starting with no equipment training like squats, push ups, bridges, ect.
What’s better to cut or try and get cals higher I’m around 30%bf but still need some muscle I’m sorta stocky but got lagging muscles and injurys to sort out
for me, the main thing is not to be able to eat more for the enjoyment of food but for actually meeting my nutritional needs through food without having to supplement. it's hard to get all the nutrients you need on a 1400 calorie diet.
Hello! If I workout 5 days a week, do I do these compound movements each workout session. ?

It really is a jungle out there! Trying to figure out how to begin a man's weight lifting journey from all the advice you find within TH-cam can be be mind numbing! SOOOO glad I found you guys when I did! I'm now finally making sense of what I need to be doing in order to start the right way. Thank You.
I really appreciate you guys and the various topics that you cover I have learned so much not only how to properly go about exercise and diet but also the mental part of it because that does fall by the wayside of the journey but I have learned that if your not mentally strong to understand what this journey will have you will fail every time and I have been there . So thank you 🙏🏿
I would love if you guys could do a video explaining the body types and if you can change your body type? (Ecto, Meso, Endomorphs)
Love the show, been working on speeding up my metabolism the last 5 weeks. You guys explain fitness with such clarity. SHOW ME THE BUNDLE💪💪😁
What about walking on incline would that also affect your progress to boost metabolism.
I hate counting calories but these tactics all make sense. I'll have to look up reverse dieting
Thanks so much for this video. I think I've been doing everything wrong
Great episode! Adams point at the end cannot be overstated. I was working so hard over a year ago and was not getting any results. But my life was miserable and I was in a super stressful and unhealthy situation. Once I changed that, and moved on I was able to prioritize my health. My sleep is better, but still needs improvement. But with strength training I’ve built muscle, lost 30+ lbs so far in the past year, and changed my life for the better in so many was. The info on this podcast has been a game changer!
You cats are the best form of fitness info out there. Sal, I just picked up your book. Only 1/4 of the way through and it is already life changing! Thanks for what you do!
I’ve been running for 2 months after reaching 255lbs I was enjoying the runs but I was so stoked when a friend turned me onto this podcast and anabolic which I’m on week 3 of pre phase! I want to gain muscle and increase my metabolism! Idk my baseline calories either I have been trying to keep a deficit and eat a ton of protein. But it would be awesome to know my actual calorie burn per day
Hey guys thank you for doing this episode. It was at the right time as I am trying to lose weight. I am on a calorie deficit and have been trying to lose weight. I hit a plateau and I really do not want to go into a deeper calorie deficit. I am thinking of getting this bundle. Hopefully this bundle can help me get to my ideal weight and body look by the end of next year.
You guys are awesome! You have the best show out there!
I was a size 4 when I lifted heavy weights. I gained weight when I stopped lifting.
I tell my clients that the body is like a furnace, in order for it to function properly it needs fuel.
Can I build muscle with an overactive thyroid?
You guys are awesome, am a 40 year old man and after years of long, sweaty cardio sessions with Zero results I’m finally starting to get the body I want having followed your maps anabolic full body workout routines and diet advice. Love the show, regular viewer and listener, and as soon as funds allow I will be investing in more of your products! Rock on guys! Joe
Absolute BS... You guys are basically snake oil salesman
Sal, Adam and Justin y'all have been fantastic with your all your advice related to focusing on building muscle, using strength as a metric and getting a good protein intake. I have been able to reduce 22 lbs in 6 months and my body fat has reduced from 25% to 20% all thanks to your advice! Love you guys 🙌
When you say it’s walking for you would or could that be indoor or outdoor ?
A question that's boggling my mind. Building muscle boosts metabolism, that's established very well. I'm currently trying to lose body fat, on a caloric deficit, taking my 150-160 gms of protein a day, and roughly around 2000-2200 calories and lifting weights too. Lost around 35 lbs so far. My question is building muscle boosts metabolism, but how does it work when you're trying to maintain muscle on caloric deficit and doing weight training at the same time. I'm kinna confused in that.
Great podcast love it ❤️
Damn, I love u guys!! Sleep! That is my issue! 🙌🏽
What about diabetics who have a hard time sleeping in general
I've been trying to lose weight via calorie cutting for years. Not working. Excited to try this instead. Thanks!
Youse guys change lives for the better!
What is the difference between maps anabolic and aesthetics?
What are some high protein snacks you recommend?
🫨Do you know how many calories I consume ?! 😭You’re right about the fear because I’m petrified to continue eating the same way yet continue strength training. Like how do you gain 40 pounds in 5 months and think that same eating habit coupled with 2 day’s training will get me where I want to be? It’s mind boggling yet makes sense cause I love my McDonald’s and Panera Bread and don’t want to stop eating it 🤭😂
Those are empty calories, 4000 calories of Panera or McDonalds are not the same as 4000 calories of home meals. Good luck!
Guys I know this video is a year old but please respond I’m a mailman and walk about 8-10 miles for 5 days how do I prevent muscle loss? Should I eat more calories?
yep and prioritize your protein!
Great episode guys!! So much bad info out there about losing fat by dieting at ridiculously low calories and throwing in hours of Cardio which is what ends up causing binge eating and eating disorders too. You say it as it is . Food should not be feared , it is our fuel and will help us to achieve our health and fitness goals provided it is real food and not the superprocessed crap full of sugars and chemicals designed to make us more hungry and addicted. Activity is so important and Walking is one of the most underestimated forms of activity for both fat loss and mental health. Keep up the amazing content guys!!!
