Happy to report I hit my first goal of getting under 300 pounds by New Year’s Day. I started at 365lbs and now thirteen weeks later I’m at 295lbs! I’ve been a big guy my whole life and now at 31 years old I decided to fix my relationship with food before I even stepped into a gym. My first three weeks were all fixing my diet. I’ve been in the gym now for ten weeks and feeling great. Can’t thank you guys enough for the wealth of information and inspiration. I’m down four inches in my jeans and two shirt sizes! Keep up the great content and helping people like me!
I’m on a weight loss journey and he is absolutely right about being patient and not over correcting your diet because you aren’t seeing results.. the first couple weeks or days you may not see anything but suddenly if you stay the course you wake up one morning and boom you loose a significant amount of weight.. a lot of patience is required
This is like a biblical awakening for me! You guys are changing peoples lives. I am transitioning from being a muai Thai fighter/boxer who only has known cardio cardio cardio/all or nothing training. I was never taught the importance of protein, or how to care for my body as a non athlete. It's taking me 10+ years, but I'm hoping 2023 is the year I build my body for longevity thanks to you dudes. (Also my husband is a cardio bunny yelling at me to run my tail off for weightloss so I hope to get super sayan jacked this year to show him I didn't need millions of hours on the treadmill to get there 😅) thank you for your gold mine podcast 🙏
Funny, I’ve been training Muay Thai for 10+ years and was immersed in runs for warm up, jump rope and grueling training that was always conditioning based. However, I always like lifting weights so I always lifted but could never gain mass or weight . I’ve always been at 10% BF or less thanks to Muay Thai and still do it twice a week because I love it.
Happy to see someone get the msg about running. Not what it’s cracked up to be for weight loss, especially for women. Weightlifting works for me. Combined with daily walks I lost 45 pounds in a year and have maintained for 4 years and counting! Can’t wait for you to prove your hubby wrong! Good luck!
Well, OK, 62 year old woman, started lifting about 6 months ago with 30 pounds to lose and at probably 27 BMI. Down to 5-10 pounds over and muscles starting to show! Still going to follow these steps even though I realize both may not happen simultaneously as easily as I wanted. Love your videos!
3 months post-partum here! I was 135 lbs before my pregnancy & got up to 175 lbs & was ALL belly. I lost weight gradually after birth & got down to about 140 lbs. Recently I've been hitting the gym 3-4 times a week doing a split routine. I noticed the scale actually go back up to around 145 lbs, but I feel and look so much better already! I feel the post-partum period is the perfect time for me to burn fat and gain muscle as my hormones regulate. Definitely love this new stage of my body and IGNORING the scale!
Hey! Im in the exact same position except i was 125 before and now i cant shake 137lbs. Im 8 months post partum though😅, I just started lifting this week and am hoping i am eating the correct amount and all that Good luck with you i hope you get the results youre wanting!
@@Bugaspentree girl, I started maps anabolic. I’m in Week 7 and my body has been transformed. I got up to eating 2400 cal each day. Now I’m doing a 1600 cal deficit because my honeymoon is in two weeks. My weight has stayed the same but I look and feel so strong.
@@sidneymae8600 Whats maps anabolic?? I am eating the same deficit currently, only two weeks in so i dont feel much change but my measurements are getting smaller 😊 Congratulations on your honeymoon!! I hope its the best time, i was pregnant on mine so i was sick the entire trip😂
22:37 Adam, this small segment is everything. Those days of water retention ARE the biggest mind fuck. Reminding yourself on THOSE days that it’s just a day and tomorrow or the next day WILL be better. Listening to you all, getting off the elliptical, lifting heavy shit and feeding my body appropriately has healed a part of me that I didn’t think was possible.
Seriously, and exactly what he said in this segment is exactly what I’ve been dealing with the past few weeks with my fitness. Letting that scale fuck with your mind day to day without realizing a lot of it is just water retention. Such a mental hurdle to get through but I always remind myself just as Adam said: “trust the process.” And appreciate the positive changes and gains you’re getting, not focus too much on what you don’t like that you might be seeing, whether that’s on a scale or what’s in the mirror
Same here! Took me 18 months to get back to 135. Now I started to lift weights and slowly getting back to 145 but still look way better when I was 135.
Been doing this for 3 years almost 4. Just had my 3rd baby In September and then pulled my back on a heavy set barbell squat. Regardless of the set backs I really feel this year is my year. Listening to you guys always keeps me educated and determined. Thank you guys for this amazing podcast!
So I get all the science and nuance the fitness industry provides but if it was as difficult as the science makes it appear, no one would lose weight and build muscle. As a 68 year old female I decided to get serious about my body. In a year I went from 165 to 120 and based on my inbody comp analysis at my gym I lost significant fat and built significant muscle. I wish I had taken pics but I didn’t. But to give you a visual I went from size 14 pants to size 6. I did it by eating in a slight calorie deficit and hitting my macros (first time I ever prioritized protein) and doing resistance training along with regular walks. I did this consistently and voila 45 lb weight loss. That happened in 2019 and I’ve maintained using the same formula. I now crave my resistance training rather than sugary sweets. Macros plus weightlifting 🏋️♀️ plus consistency. It really is that easy!
How did u figure out your macros? What app did u use? How long before you saw any weight loss? I tried for one month to eat within my macros with a calorie deficit and could not budge the scale. I became discouraged, and i quit because i felt I was doing the nutrition part all wrong. How much deficit did u cut back?
@@superwomaninyourdreams3465 a simple method is to multiply your goal weight by 12 and the number you get is the amount of calories to eat to be in a deficit. Then multiply your goal weight by anywhere from .7 to 1 and that’s how many grams of protein you should shoot for each day. The rest of your calories come from carbs and healthy fats. I just did my best every day to hit those targets. I found foods I could eat enough of to stay full (lots of chicken and lean cuts of beef, veggies,fruits, low on the carbs). But when I felt like I needed a treat I had it, but I had one serving and that’s it. You said you got discouraged after one month. For me, I didn’t start to see regular downward scale movement until almost 3 months in and that’s when I realized that this had to be my new normal. I listened to lots of health related podcasts and read quite a few books on health and nutrition and when you understand how the food companies manipulate consumers and what their shit ingredients do to your body it made me determined to eat better and not become another victim of mass media! It takes time but the sugar cravings subside significantly and it gets easier. Now I crave my weight lifting sessions. And the more muscle you have the better your metabolism. It’s a win win. Good luck. If I can do it anyone can!
THIS! Thank you!! I am DONE being preached at that a bulk is the only way to put on muscle, especially when you already have excess body mass to work with for energy. This messaging is just the current-day "Post workout eating window". 🙄
I know you guys talked about sleep but also just taking time off. (If you have been consistent long enough) I actually haven't worked out for about two weeks now but my body is actually looking better and the scale has gone down a little. So people don't be scared to take a break. 💪
Wise words as usual. Thank you so much for hammering about sleep. Shift work doesn't help but eveytime I feel like I start to fall off the sleep wagon, you guys bring it up on the show and straighten me out. And love the messaging regarding the scale. If you're doing everything right, scale doesn't matter. The way you look and feel matter more. You guys are great.
Thank you for always reading my mind and being clutch with these episodes. This is exactly what I'm going through right now. The past 7-8 months I lost 45lbs and have been struggling mentally to see the muscle building during this time. Now I am noticing a change in strength and body and I'm more focused on building muscle under that fat while I lose another 10-15% of body fat. Thank you for keeping me sane!
This channel has really helped me start making small changes. I used to just do big deep end type changes and it was never sustainable. I now work from home and just started doing a few small things. I’ve given up slurpees (used to have 3 or 4 a week) and recently just started walking a mile everyday just to start getting some movement back in my day. Thanks very much for all you do!!
I've been an ardent Mindpump fan since a few years, I always learn something new that I can not only incorporate in my workouts but also my life. Thanks for your wisdom!
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you guys for all of the amazing insight and guidance you provide on strength training. I always enjoy your guys' perspective and information on fitness. It's refreshing to see a focus on building muscle and strength rather than just constantly promoting cardio. Your information has been incredibly helpful to me, and I'm grateful for all the knowledge you share. Always looking forward to next video thanks again.
I've been following Mindpump channel for a few months now and it has been such a valuable resource in my fitness journey. The variety of exercises and the clear explanations have helped me to improve my form and increase my strength. The motivational tips and progress updates have also been a huge help in keeping me motivated and on track. Thank you for all the great content!
I stumbled upon Mindpump channel a few months ago and it has completely transformed my fitness routine. The recommendations suggested in your videos are so easy to follow. I have seen a noticeable difference in my strength and endurance thanks to the guidance from this channel. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your advises guys 🙏 And thanks for keeping them going again and again since it so easy to fell off the track, we all need reminders... That's why I included listening to your podcast in my daily routine as I started lifting or walk every day since I discovered your channel few months ago! 🏋🏾 I still find it hard to know for sure if my diet is in the right amount and same with my workouts. I wish I could find the perfect way to eat and train enough but not to much and finally see some real progress! I need it! 💪
I recently found your channel and your information is invaluable. I’ve been binge watching your videos. I’ve been struggling to lose fat for many years. I’m an ex yo-yo dieter and am trying hard to get smarter about my nutrition and fitness. Thank you for the real talk, it’s refreshing and motivating!!
The best thing about this channel is how you go in depth on every aspect of fitness/health. Like body recomposition would probably get 5 minutes of a 15 minute video elsewhere. It means that if you're making a decision like 'should I bulk/cut/recomp?' you can make a fully informed decision. Keep it up!
I am a huge fan of the pod and the videos on TH-cam. I have been listening for about 3 years and do my best to never miss an episode. I have found that listening to you guys this last year I put on 15lbs and only went up 1% in body fat and my big things that I focused on was 1. Eating more protein, 2. Being consistent with workouts, 3.Focus on core lifts (doing MAPS programs) and 4. Creating a sleep routine. I tend to be inconsistent with football season oopps. I cant thank you guys enough for your free information and all the programs you create I'm in my mid 30's and in one of the best shapes of my life. I wish you guys had a pod in my 20's because there is no telling what I might have achieved. Keep up the great work guys!
Just recently discovered your channel and I am loving your content! Thanks, guys! I'm 7 weeks postpartum just getting back into lifting after my c section!
Mindpump, you have been instrumental in my weight loss journey, what seemed impossible a few months back, is now a reality thanks to all your guidance in your TH-cam videos!
Adam, your before and after pics at the beginning of the episode 😲 Wow! Thank you for sharing that the scale didn't move much during that time. I've been experiencing the same thing; my jeans are looser but the scale isn't going down because of the (small) amount of muscle I've put on. So encouraging - keep up the great work, guys!
I’ve been listening to you guys for the last month!! Totally changed the way I think about so many aspects of training. Thank you for educating me. Helping me to be patient to transform my body. By starting to build muscle &increase my metabolism first & then later on shred fat. I’m on 1500 cal & want to try & build up to 2500 calories. Im happy to take as long as it takes. I would love the bundle for my 50th birthday 18th January. ThNk you do much for such balanced advice … Love from an Aussie girl 🇦🇺
Absolutely loving the vids. Don’t have access to a proper gym and won’t have consistent access to one for at least a few months but I’m so excited to get started in one. In the mean time trying to get by with a band and some dumbbells
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.
Ngl, currently on a bulk and was feeling bloated and fat last night. Woke up feeling great after hearing this, knowing it's a temporary thing! Trust the process 🙌
This is such great info! I stopped using the scale so religiously because I was getting so discouraged by the damn numbers. My clothing size is going down and I feel freaking fantastic…scale still hasn’t moved.
I feel like I learned so much. Thank you thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with everyone. I recently lost 100lbs and now I am Changing my focus to building muscle. This episode helped me understand better how to achieve my goal safely and correctly.
Never mind all these complicated theories and hypotheses, If you want to check your progress when it comes to weight loss/fat loss. Just take a look in the mirror.
This is the best health and fitness TH-cam channel I have ever come across. Entertaining. Informative. Good discussions on a variety of topics. Dare I say Mind Pump is "just right". Lol
Not caffeine, not stimulants give such a motivaton as you guys to train hard! After listen to you can't wait for my workout time! Love you and your content!
I'm so glad you made this video, I am currently trying to find the sweet spot. The video helped me understand why I questioned the process and felt at times I was losing my sanity 🙃
Just started following you guys and have absolutely LOVED the content! Thank you for giving such real advice targeted towards natural lifters with busy work schedules. Recently transitioned to a full body split 3 days a week and have seen better results then ever before, with way more consistency. Would love to try out one of your programs soon!
Guys love your show. I’m 51 that enjoys staying fit and you teach me something new every time. Hey Justin. Huge fan from Canada of the 49ers. Only 4 wins to go guys. 🙌🏼
Sleep does wonders for the body and mind.. I've learned I cannot function properly and my emotional state gets out of whack when I've stayed up later than normal.. I'm guilty of doing this on the weekends and would pay for it after a day or so.. a goal of mine is to become more consistent with my sleep schedule, including weekends. Thanks for these key points, I feel more equipped than ever to take my health into my own hands since listening to your podcast!
Thank you for the awesome information that you guy's provided for the newbies like me. Sharing the knowledge and experience that, is not just going to the gym will make a change on you. But Also, involved other factors that you need, to fulfill your goals.
Wow I loved what Adam brought up that his focus was mainly to hit his target just hovering around maintenance calories, and as he was building muscle naturally the deficit would come! Genius approach actually
What about doing some sessions of drawn out really low intensity steady state cardio...like riding an exercise bike slowly while watching TV and reading or talking to someone to hit maybe a 60 percent of max target heart rate
unbelievable, this quite literally happened to me on Monday, I had been in a caloric deficit of around 400-600 calories for 3 weeks and last Friday I looked at myself and realized I was getting chunkier thanks to all the videos I've been listening from you lately I decided to play a bit with this and see if I was just retaining water, and just like that, went on a huge surplus for the weekend, probably way over a 600 calorie surplus for 2 days straight, woke up on Monday looking my leanest so far (which is not that much tbh but I'm happy I didn't panic and trusted the process) and also felt my muscles fuller than ever great to see I was able to apply all the knowledge I've been getting from you
❤ I love your pop casts I loved the 20min workout video it was a game changer for me I have done weights for 6 months no cardio and dropped 10lb and gained a lot of muscle amazing love it ….
For eight weeks I was on a build glute and legs program that had 3 legs days and 2 upper body. My glutes are noticeably different but now I want to get leaner so I added 5am HIIT workouts and damn! I’m already trimming down and my metabolism has sky rocketed.
Convenient timing of this topic. Was feeling shitty about my bull cause one-week in I lost a pound. But after another week, I’m net positive. Be. Patient.
Planning on sticking to the Goldilocks zone for the next 3-6 months and see what happens, be interesting to come back and listen to this one again afterward. Great show as always guys.
@@jacob88166 Yeah going well, I have switched focus a bit to cutting but switching between fat loss weeks and maintenance weeks and it's been great. Lost 4kg (78.5 to 74.5kg) and waist is down 1.5 inches so far (32.5 to 31). Having the constant break every other week has allowed me to still improve strength over this period to.
You’ve changed my life, was about to go head long into only cardio for fat loss and heard one of your shows which changed my understanding and approach to my fitness goals, now happily deadlifting and strength training, regaining my dream physique 🙏🏻 thanks again guys! 😘😘😘
Exactly what I needed to hear today, I start following your advice and I was so worried cause I’m gaining weight so much by eating a lot of protein. Tons of fitness instructor here in dxb but couldn’t find like you guys! Wanna learn more from you 💪🏽
the cardio signal vs weights signal is a really good point - i do crossfit, and i double up the evening session with a morning cardio (row/echo bike su/du skipping) session 4 times a week. i was at 122kg and went down to 103 with a goal of 100kg in mind (6'2 height). i was in a calorie deficit most of last year around 2000/2100cals to achieve this and my body is now highly efficient in endurance which is good for CS. However my strength and muscle has reduced although looking lean....i injured my achilles 2 weeks ago, so ive now switched this week to a 5/3/1 with BBB to build back muscle and strength and will now hit the maintenance macros and see how it goes - you are 100% right on not eating enough you dont sleep well - ive had this a number of times and allow refeed day on my rest day wednesday. the weekends i allow a little more also, which you guys refer to so hoping to hit the goldielocks zone! How are you guys testing bodyfat btw?
I used to eat 5 eggs after my fast about 11. See I love my burgers and pizza. I tried keto years ago. I got off that wagon. I will be 55 in June . My wife and I have a cruise in September. I really want to be in better shape like looking lean. Thank you guy’s for sharing theses tips to hopefully will help me!
This is the best recomp episode I’ve seen from anyone in the space. It paints a suuuuper realistic picture of how tough it is to do it, but still provides the right steps to get it done right. No cookie cutter message, no motivational bs, just a list of how to’s with clear expectations. *Borat voice very nice!*
Year one of working out is done but many more to come because I love it now. I wish I could take this feeling and project it for other people. Excited for the new knowledge I know to continue with more efficient workouts and diet ebb and flows

I’m an ex yo-yo dieter and am trying hard to get smarter about my nutrition and fitness. Thank you for the real talk, it’s refreshing and motivating!!
What I love about these guys is that they always refer back to the fundamentals and keeping it simple.
Love how simple and effective are your tips which help me a LOT to achieve my fitness goals, couldn't thank you folks enough!
Thanks for all the great content guys. I always learn so much from you all.
The best thing about this channel is how you go in depth on every aspect of fitness/health. Like body recomposition would probably get 5 minutes of a 15 minute video elsewhere. It means that if you're making a decision like 'should I bulk/cut/recomp?' you can make a fully informed decision. Keep it up!
You guys truly have the best health and fitness podcast.
Great episode! Small, systematic, logical changes produce meaningful results. Keep up the great work!
What another great episode with perfect timing. I was just thinking about this subject yesterday. Excellent advice!
I am a huge fan of the pod and the videos on TH-cam. I have been listening for about 3 years and do my best to never miss an episode. I have found that listening to you guys this last year I put on 15lbs and only went up 1% in body fat and my big things that I focused on was 1. Eating more protein, 2. Being consistent with workouts, 3.Focus on core lifts (doing MAPS programs) and 4. Creating a sleep routine. I tend to be inconsistent with football season oopps. I cant thank you guys enough for your free information and all the programs you create I'm in my mid 30's and in one of the best shapes of my life. I wish you guys had a pod in my 20's because there is no telling what I might have achieved. Keep up the great work guys!
Just recently discovered your channel and I am loving your content! Thanks, guys! I'm 7 weeks postpartum just getting back into lifting after my c section!
Mindpump, you have been instrumental in my weight loss journey, what seemed impossible a few months back, is now a reality thanks to all your guidance in your TH-cam videos!
Thank you for all the daily quality content on fitness, u guys are great! Greetings from Mexico
Love this conversation!! Thank you Sal, Adam and Justin 👍
Adam, your before and after pics at the beginning of the episode 😲 Wow! Thank you for sharing that the scale didn't move much during that time. I've been experiencing the same thing; my jeans are looser but the scale isn't going down because of the (small) amount of muscle I've put on. So encouraging - keep up the great work, guys!
I’ve been listening to you guys for the last month!! Totally changed the way I think about so many aspects of training. Thank you for educating me. Helping me to be patient to transform my body. By starting to build muscle &increase my metabolism first & then later on shred fat. I’m on 1500 cal & want to try & build up to 2500 calories. Im happy to take as long as it takes. I would love the bundle for my 50th birthday 18th January.
ThNk you do much for such balanced advice … Love from an Aussie girl 🇦🇺
One of my favorite podcast! Thank you for sharing your knowledge

that before and after picture is Awesome
Morning mind pump brothers! Valuable information thank you. Have a blessed day lads 💪🏼👊🏼🙏🏼
This is exactly the episode I needed to see. I am taking notes
This is such great info! I stopped using the scale so religiously because I was getting so discouraged by the damn numbers. My clothing size is going down and I feel freaking fantastic…scale still hasn’t moved.
I feel like I learned so much. Thank you thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with everyone. I recently lost 100lbs and now I am Changing my focus to building muscle. This episode helped me understand better how to achieve my goal safely and correctly.
Love the show, never disappoint on the information you pump out for our minds 👏
❤ love them.
A lot of gems in this podcast. ❤
💎
I like the constant reminders you give and how in depth you guys go into. I’ve got to do a better job of focusing on sleep and getting my walks in
Never mind all these complicated theories and hypotheses, If you want to check your progress when it comes to weight loss/fat loss. Just take a look in the mirror.
This is the best health and fitness TH-cam channel I have ever come across. Entertaining. Informative. Good discussions on a variety of topics. Dare I say Mind Pump is "just right". Lol
I could never decide whether to cut or bulk, loved your advice about mini cuts and mini bulks. I hope I can find this sweet spot someday!
Not caffeine, not stimulants give such a motivaton as you guys to train hard! After listen to you can't wait for my workout time! Love you and your content!
I'm so glad you made this video, I am currently trying to find the sweet spot. The video helped me understand why I questioned the process and felt at times I was losing my sanity 🙃
Just started following you guys and have absolutely LOVED the content! Thank you for giving such real advice targeted towards natural lifters with busy work schedules. Recently transitioned to a full body split 3 days a week and have seen better results then ever before, with way more consistency. Would love to try out one of your programs soon!
Welcome aboard!
Guys love your show. I’m 51 that enjoys staying fit and you teach me something new every time. Hey Justin. Huge fan from Canada of the 49ers. Only 4 wins to go guys. 🙌🏼
Trust the process, even when it's hard. Thanks for the positive reminder! 😁
Great information! Definitely could use one of those bundles as well!
Great stuff. Thanks guys!
This was perfect!!! Exactly what I’m doing right now naturally this just confirmed it for me thank you.
Sleep does wonders for the body and mind.. I've learned I cannot function properly and my emotional state gets out of whack when I've stayed up later than normal.. I'm guilty of doing this on the weekends and would pay for it after a day or so.. a goal of mine is to become more consistent with my sleep schedule, including weekends. Thanks for these key points, I feel more equipped than ever to take my health into my own hands since listening to your podcast!
Thank you for the awesome information that you guy's provided for the newbies like me. Sharing the knowledge and experience that, is not just going to the gym will make a change on you. But Also, involved other factors that you need, to fulfill your goals.
Best recomp video overall , Thanks
You guys are modern day superheroes, you have personally saved and changed my life in more ways than one.
Thank you!
Wow I loved what Adam brought up that his focus was mainly to hit his target just hovering around maintenance calories, and as he was building muscle naturally the deficit would come! Genius approach actually
Another great episode. No bs just tools that will work. Thanks gents!
Adam’s transformation at the same bodyweight is absolutely mind blowing! Wow! 😯 ❤💪🏋️
Glad to have found you guys. I would love to run an actual program 🤞 Great show as always!
Recompisition is the goal, mind pump is the process!
What about doing some sessions of drawn out really low intensity steady state cardio...like riding an exercise bike slowly while watching TV and reading or talking to someone to hit maybe a 60 percent of max target heart rate
very good episode!! loved it
Greetings for Portugal! This channel has been something else
Greetings!
unbelievable, this quite literally happened to me on Monday, I had been in a caloric deficit of around 400-600 calories for 3 weeks and last Friday I looked at myself and realized I was getting chunkier
thanks to all the videos I've been listening from you lately I decided to play a bit with this and see if I was just retaining water, and just like that, went on a huge surplus for the weekend, probably way over a 600 calorie surplus for 2 days straight, woke up on Monday looking my leanest so far (which is not that much tbh but I'm happy I didn't panic and trusted the process) and also felt my muscles fuller than ever
great to see I was able to apply all the knowledge I've been getting from you
Awesome advices! I’ve been focusing on big lifts for some time
Thanks for this! Just what I needed to know. I am ready to try this now.
Glad it was helpful!
❤ I love your pop casts I loved the 20min workout video it was a game changer for me I have done weights for 6 months no cardio and dropped 10lb and gained a lot of muscle amazing love it ….
Great video again
thanks
For eight weeks I was on a build glute and legs program that had 3 legs days and 2 upper body. My glutes are noticeably different but now I want to get leaner so I added 5am HIIT workouts and damn! I’m already trimming down and my metabolism has sky rocketed.
Convenient timing of this topic. Was feeling shitty about my bull cause one-week in I lost a pound. But after another week, I’m net positive. Be. Patient.
Planning on sticking to the Goldilocks zone for the next 3-6 months and see what happens, be interesting to come back and listen to this one again afterward. Great show as always guys.
Hey how's it going any updates?
@@jacob88166 Yeah going well, I have switched focus a bit to cutting but switching between fat loss weeks and maintenance weeks and it's been great. Lost 4kg (78.5 to 74.5kg) and waist is down 1.5 inches so far (32.5 to 31). Having the constant break every other week has allowed me to still improve strength over this period to.
Damn! You guys have great info. This is the episode I'm after
You’ve changed my life, was about to go head long into only cardio for fat loss and heard one of your shows which changed my understanding and approach to my fitness goals, now happily deadlifting and strength training, regaining my dream physique 🙏🏻 thanks again guys! 😘😘😘
That’s amazing!
@@MindPumpShow 💗 thanks 💗
Exactly what I needed to hear today, I start following your advice and I was so worried cause I’m gaining weight so much by eating a lot of protein. Tons of fitness instructor here in dxb but couldn’t find like you guys! Wanna learn more from you 💪🏽
I'm so glad!
Absolutely awesome Information..Thank You
Our pleasure!
the cardio signal vs weights signal is a really good point - i do crossfit, and i double up the evening session with a morning cardio (row/echo bike su/du skipping) session 4 times a week. i was at 122kg and went down to 103 with a goal of 100kg in mind (6'2 height). i was in a calorie deficit most of last year around 2000/2100cals to achieve this and my body is now highly efficient in endurance which is good for CS. However my strength and muscle has reduced although looking lean....i injured my achilles 2 weeks ago, so ive now switched this week to a 5/3/1 with BBB to build back muscle and strength and will now hit the maintenance macros and see how it goes - you are 100% right on not eating enough you dont sleep well - ive had this a number of times and allow refeed day on my rest day wednesday. the weekends i allow a little more also, which you guys refer to so hoping to hit the goldielocks zone! How are you guys testing bodyfat btw?
Now I just have to figure out which program is best for me. Love the channel love what y'all are doing.
Awesome! Thank you!
Crazy how I was taught to focus on cardio. Time to restrategize. It’s just eating the right foods is the hardest for me.
Thank you knowledge. For me this very difficult but method I do consists in adjusting my diet.
Maingaining explained!! love it thanks guys!
lol
I used to eat 5 eggs after my fast about 11. See I love my burgers and pizza. I tried keto years ago. I got off that wagon. I will be 55 in June . My wife and I have a cruise in September. I really want to be in better shape like looking lean. Thank you guy’s for sharing theses tips to hopefully will help me!
I've never workout out with a proper workout program. I'm pumped to try your MAPS workout
This video has me wanting to try this!
This is the best recomp episode I’ve seen from anyone in the space. It paints a suuuuper realistic picture of how tough it is to do it, but still provides the right steps to get it done right. No cookie cutter message, no motivational bs, just a list of how to’s with clear expectations. *Borat voice very nice!*
Year one of working out is done but many more to come because I love it now. I wish I could take this feeling and project it for other people. Excited for the new knowledge I know to continue with more efficient workouts and diet ebb and flows
You can do it!
