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!
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.
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 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.
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!
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 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.
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!
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.
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
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 🤣
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
This is the top thing I tell my clients. So many of them are bought into the idea to eat less and move more. When you tell them lifting weights will set them up for better long term success by boosting their metabolism it blows their mind.
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.
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!
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!
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!!!
Okay guys, hear me out. Father of 10! Finally was able to squeeze out $20/mo for a gym membership and just the time there has been so therapeutic, so consistency has been EASY. I go early AM so it doesn't take away from family time or work. Trying to destroy my what's left of my dad bod but I have a program. This bundle would help so much! Pretty please 🥺
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.
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
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💪🏽
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.
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 💪🙏
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.
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!
I’ve been listening for the last few months, and this new bundle is exactly what i have been looking for. I recently lost 65 pounds and just starting to recomping to try to get back my muscle tone and size I lost. Newbie gains are wearing out and increasing my metabolism while lifting heavy is the only way I know to accomplish my goals. Thank you for your work here.
To win the package would be amazing, I'm a solo dad trying to better myself for my 3yr girl and myself.. Tablets from the doc messed me up, the dietician didn't know why my weight loss so so difficult.. But after finding you guys I'm learning alot and feel I'm on a better path now, I had slowed my metabolism down living on 1300kal and still not loosing weight.. I'd love Resistance Training Revolution and some of your MAPS programs, unfortunately their just outta reach atm... Awesome channel guys
Ik everyone just thanks you guys in the comments but you guys have changed my mental and physical ways that I didn’t think possible. I’ve changed a lot of things in my training and I feel so damn good. I used to just feel burnt out all the time and thought that was training. Now I have focus, drive and progress without the pain
My girlfriend's metabolism has been destoryed by her years of poor eating habits. I'm gonna send her this episode and help her get started on her fixing her metabolism thanks to you guys.
After listening to you guys for two months, I got my 75 year old mom to join a gym with me and told her to just lift weights and eat more protein. She joined Planet Fitness and we both go (I go as a guest) at least 3 times a week. She has a heart condition so she doesn't do cardio. She works out on a back machine, a chest machine, leg press, cable rows (her favorite), and abs machine. That was 3 weeks ago and she has doubled the weight she can lift and she said to me "I need heavier weights, I'm getting stronger!".
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'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.
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???
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
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 🙌
First time commenting on Mind Pump. Been listening for awhile now. I definitely need this free program! It will help get me jump started on transitioning from my strength training class and creating a lifetime of fitness on my own. Thanks guys!!
So much truth to this. I'm working with my mother-in-law, trying to get her to lose some weight and start feeling good again. At 70 years old, she is crushing it! She is eating a ton and is doing resistance training 3 days a week. No excuses, it can be done!
Hey, i have been listening to you guys for a few months now. and for 2 weeks been doing the first week of "maps anabolic" that you have on youtube. i watched an episode that really resonated with me about the types of people that fail at fitness and realized i was like 5-7 of them and yo yo dieted and overtrained myself to my heaviest weight during the pandemic. so one of the pieces of advise i have been trying to follow is to focus on strength and reverse my calories before i cut. which is hard for me to focus on that and not force myself to eat less calories at first. definitely going to pick this bundle up. its perfect for what i am trying to accomplish moving forward!
Fantastic, I've been told my whole life, that I'm lucky to have a fast metabolism, looks like it wasn't just luck. I'm sending this episode to all my mates
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)
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
Started weightlifting again in may this year, after a hiatus of about 9 years. Thanks guys for making this information easily available. Very true about the weight scale not moving, mine only start to budge after 12 weeks. I trusted the process , strength was going up, calories in are in check, clothes fit better, always feel lighter on the feet. Feeling great starting to lift again at 38!
Hey guys. I've been working out on and off over the years. Did p90x and some other programs but couldn't sustain long term results. I've struggled with slow metabolism since I was a kid. I'm back on track with the workouts which I structured around advice from your podcast. Trying to build up some muscle to boost my metabolism but any help would be amazing!! Love the podcast and all of the knowledge that comes with it. Thanks guys!!
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 love your show, I’m taking a personal trainer course at the moment and this is given me so much insight. I listen to your program when I’m working out. I love the dialogue between you guys, it’s so free-flowing conversational information. Love it.❤
Honestly, I thought you guys were crazy when I learned that I have to eat more to lose fat. Or that I had to do less in the gym to see progress. Adam’s words “do the least amount of work to elicit the most amount of change.” is something I live by now MindPump and the guys really have changed my life. I’m eating 4000kcal and don’t feel like a fat s o b !! Thanks to you bros
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!
You guys are the best of the best!!! I'm a 55 year old woman and I must say I have learned a great deal from you guys. My Bachelors degree has nothing on you guys!!!
Thanks for the video, guys. At 41 I’ve struggled with my weight for years. Up and down, as high as 330 and as low as 220 in the last decade. Im currently 5’7” 290. I walk 10k a day, lift 3-4x a week and typically eat between 2000-2500 calories a day…and the weight isn’t coming off. Reverse dieting intrigues the heck out of me because I don’t want to cut any more than I already am. Thanks for sharing this info
Just found this channel recently and I have been loving the advice ever since. I've tried many different diets and had success. The unfortunate truth is that I haven't been able to sustain the eating habit that diets require. Being a father of four active kids it's tough finding the time to get a good workout in. Glad I've found inspiration for different types of workout ideas. Keep up the great work!
This is exactly the episode and bundle of programs I have been needing. Now if I can get my wife to listen to this one she might finally understand why I train her the way I do and get her to adhere without some of the complaints. You guys are incredible. Thanks for everything you do!
I loved this episode! I really related to this. Several years ago I tried strength training because I had read about the metobolic effects and I was tired of eating so restrictived to manage my weight. I was very disciplined for several months and I felt great and was getting stronger. I noticed my clothes were getting tight and I quit because I wanted to get smaller and not larger! This episode has inspired me to give it a try again but I am still not sure I understand when/how to make the switch from gaining muscle to really leaning out.
Man yall are awesome! Been trying to get this metabolism concept into my wife’s head the past week or so. New listener (2 months in) and loving all the information. Thanks!
I’ve been watching you guys for a year and it’s greatly helped and I’ve seen tremendous gains in the gym. Watching your videos makes me feel like I’m in a classroom all year long😂 I’d love to win this program because I have built a decent foundation of muscle and would love to see the strength and metabolism gains I could achieve with your programs. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!
Winner Winner! Please email Ann ann@mindpumpmedia.com with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up.
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 have been in a deficit for so long . I listen too you guys daily and have implemented most of your training techniques In my program but I’m so lost on the reverse dieting I feel when I up my calories I don’t feel lean thanks for you help
Thank you for all the info!! Can you tell me how you work with your clients that haven’t got core strength to do these compound lifts and are at risk of injury?
For years I trained unhealthy trying to build muscle by doing the wrong things. I never thought I could get a 6 pack, but recently have lost 20 lbs of fat! I love your videos and education!
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!
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 ❤
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 😂

Mind Pump is really built different. The knowledge and value you men bring is so rich. You guys are cut from stone

@@sleetlol5772still yo yo dieting. But still trying!
@@PhonySopran0sorry but haven’t had any luck with reverse dieting. Might be doing it wrong. 🤷🏻♀️
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.
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 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!
Best podcast while getting my steps in!
Youse guys change lives for the better!
52yo menopausal women in the best shape in my adult life thanks to you guys…staying fed, lifting heavy, hitting protein!! ❤🎉

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 “.
Please pick me. This is the ultimate bundle that I’ve been waiting for. Really need it, would be much appreciated
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.
You guys are awesome! You have the best show out there!
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.
So true! Almost 61 here, been lifting heavy weights for the last 3 years and it’s slowly showing 😅
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!
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!
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!!!
Okay guys, hear me out. Father of 10! Finally was able to squeeze out $20/mo for a gym membership and just the time there has been so therapeutic, so consistency has been EASY. I go early AM so it doesn't take away from family time or work. Trying to destroy my what's left of my dad bod but I have a program. This bundle would help so much! Pretty please 🥺
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.
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
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💪🏽
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.
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 💪🙏
Thanks for expressing the why and how, but also always providing your real life examples.
YES! I was waiting for a bundle like this, Imma give this myself as a gift for my birthday that was yesterday
Always excited for a new video, thanks for the excellent content!
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.
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!
Love you guys and all of your content!! Definitely spreading great information and I tell everyone about your show and MAPS programs!!
I’ve been listening for the last few months, and this new bundle is exactly what i have been looking for. I recently lost 65 pounds and just starting to recomping to try to get back my muscle tone and size I lost. Newbie gains are wearing out and increasing my metabolism while lifting heavy is the only way I know to accomplish my goals. Thank you for your work here.
I've been trying to lose weight via calorie cutting for years. Not working. Excited to try this instead. Thanks!
To win the package would be amazing, I'm a solo dad trying to better myself for my 3yr girl and myself.. Tablets from the doc messed me up, the dietician didn't know why my weight loss so so difficult.. But after finding you guys I'm learning alot and feel I'm on a better path now, I had slowed my metabolism down living on 1300kal and still not loosing weight.. I'd love Resistance Training Revolution and some of your MAPS programs, unfortunately their just outta reach atm... Awesome channel guys
Ik everyone just thanks you guys in the comments but you guys have changed my mental and physical ways that I didn’t think possible. I’ve changed a lot of things in my training and I feel so damn good. I used to just feel burnt out all the time and thought that was training. Now I have focus, drive and progress without the pain
My girlfriend's metabolism has been destoryed by her years of poor eating habits. I'm gonna send her this episode and help her get started on her fixing her metabolism thanks to you guys.
After listening to you guys for two months, I got my 75 year old mom to join a gym with me and told her to just lift weights and eat more protein. She joined Planet Fitness and we both go (I go as a guest) at least 3 times a week. She has a heart condition so she doesn't do cardio. She works out on a back machine, a chest machine, leg press, cable rows (her favorite), and abs machine. That was 3 weeks ago and she has doubled the weight she can lift and she said to me "I need heavier weights, I'm getting stronger!".
BEST. PODCAST. EVER!
As a former collegiate cross country runner, I’ve been working to build my metabolism and build muscle. Thanks for everything, guys.
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.
just got home from an Astros game! im listening to you guys and getting ready for my day tmrrw 💪🏽 thank y’all for teaching me everything i know!!
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.
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???
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
How can I calculate my calories accurately and how do I calculate how much my metabolic burn .hat are some of the apps you would recommend?
This happened to me after a few months of training I was consistently 189 and people asked if I lost weight. Great content! 🎉
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 🙌
First time commenting on Mind Pump. Been listening for awhile now. I definitely need this free program! It will help get me jump started on transitioning from my strength training class and creating a lifetime of fitness on my own. Thanks guys!!
So much truth to this. I'm working with my mother-in-law, trying to get her to lose some weight and start feeling good again. At 70 years old, she is crushing it! She is eating a ton and is doing resistance training 3 days a week. No excuses, it can be done!
Hey, i have been listening to you guys for a few months now. and for 2 weeks been doing the first week of "maps anabolic" that you have on youtube.
i watched an episode that really resonated with me about the types of people that fail at fitness and realized i was like 5-7 of them and yo yo dieted and overtrained myself to my heaviest weight during the pandemic. so one of the pieces of advise i have been trying to follow is to focus on strength and reverse my calories before i cut. which is hard for me to focus on that and not force myself to eat less calories at first.
definitely going to pick this bundle up. its perfect for what i am trying to accomplish moving forward!
Thank you for all the REAL content, not that bs all over social media trying to suck you in. Big fan from New Zealand
Fantastic, I've been told my whole life, that I'm lucky to have a fast metabolism, looks like it wasn't just luck. I'm sending this episode to all my mates
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%
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
5:16 that’s absolutely true. I want to boost my metabolism but I’m lost at how to do it correctly. Still studying these vids 😕😕
You guys are the best.
Started weightlifting again in may this year, after a hiatus of about 9 years. Thanks guys for making this information easily available. Very true about the weight scale not moving, mine only start to budge after 12 weeks. I trusted the process , strength was going up, calories in are in check, clothes fit better, always feel lighter on the feet.
Feeling great starting to lift again at 38!
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💪💪😁
Hey guys. I've been working out on and off over the years. Did p90x and some other programs but couldn't sustain long term results. I've struggled with slow metabolism since I was a kid. I'm back on track with the workouts which I structured around advice from your podcast. Trying to build up some muscle to boost my metabolism but any help would be amazing!! Love the podcast and all of the knowledge that comes with it. Thanks guys!!
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 am at my wits end with my weight. I've hit a hard plateau and it's put me at a crossroads. This is what I needed to hear. Thank you guys a bunch.
Fake account
I love your show, I’m taking a personal trainer course at the moment and this is given me so much insight. I listen to your program when I’m working out. I love the dialogue between you guys, it’s so free-flowing conversational information. Love it.❤
Honestly, I thought you guys were crazy when I learned that I have to eat more to lose fat. Or that I had to do less in the gym to see progress. Adam’s words “do the least amount of work to elicit the most amount of change.” is something I live by now
MindPump and the guys really have changed my life. I’m eating 4000kcal and don’t feel like a fat s o b !!
Thanks to you bros
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!
You guys are the best of the best!!! I'm a 55 year old woman and I must say I have learned a great deal from you guys. My Bachelors degree has nothing on you guys!!!
This is very enlightening. I have a sedentary job and need to improve my metabolism.
Thanks for the video, guys. At 41 I’ve struggled with my weight for years. Up and down, as high as 330 and as low as 220 in the last decade. Im currently 5’7” 290. I walk 10k a day, lift 3-4x a week and typically eat between 2000-2500 calories a day…and the weight isn’t coming off. Reverse dieting intrigues the heck out of me because I don’t want to cut any more than I already am. Thanks for sharing this info
This is the best video, straight out!
Now I understand it all.😊💪
Just found this channel recently and I have been loving the advice ever since. I've tried many different diets and had success. The unfortunate truth is that I haven't been able to sustain the eating habit that diets require. Being a father of four active kids it's tough finding the time to get a good workout in. Glad I've found inspiration for different types of workout ideas. Keep up the great work!
This is exactly the episode and bundle of programs I have been needing. Now if I can get my wife to listen to this one she might finally understand why I train her the way I do and get her to adhere without some of the complaints. You guys are incredible. Thanks for everything you do!
Love that you guys reiterate these points on metabolism. I really feel like it's my biggest weakness in my recompesition!!!
Thank you for encouraging me to always do what is better for my health in the long run 😁
I loved this episode! I really related to this. Several years ago I tried strength training because I had read about the metobolic effects and I was tired of eating so restrictived to manage my weight. I was very disciplined for several months and I felt great and was getting stronger. I noticed my clothes were getting tight and I quit because I wanted to get smaller and not larger! This episode has inspired me to give it a try again but I am still not sure I understand when/how to make the switch from gaining muscle to really leaning out.
Looking forward to the episode. I am 60+ and looking for ways to stay as healthy as possible for the next 30 years.
Man yall are awesome! Been trying to get this metabolism concept into my wife’s head the past week or so. New listener (2 months in) and loving all the information. Thanks!
I’ve been watching you guys for a year and it’s greatly helped and I’ve seen tremendous gains in the gym. Watching your videos makes me feel like I’m in a classroom all year long😂 I’d love to win this program because I have built a decent foundation of muscle and would love to see the strength and metabolism gains I could achieve with your programs. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!
Thanks for all the great content you guys are putting out. You’ve motivated me to start my own fitness journey!
Winner Winner! Please email Ann ann@mindpumpmedia.com with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up.
I need to do this. Thanks for your videos and info.
Thanks for the honest information gentlemen! Always enjoy listening
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 advice on how to speed up your metabolism. Thanks guys
I have been in a deficit for so long . I listen too you guys daily and have implemented most of your training techniques In my program but I’m so lost on the reverse dieting I feel when I up my calories I don’t feel lean thanks for you help
Thank you for all the info!!
Can you tell me how you work with your clients that haven’t got core strength to do these compound lifts and are at risk of injury?
For years I trained unhealthy trying to build muscle by doing the wrong things. I never thought I could get a 6 pack, but recently have lost 20 lbs of fat! I love your videos and education!
