I used lighter weights to get through a plateau recently. I took a couple months and lowered the weight (but increased the reps and paid more attention to technique)…and went from using 70 pound dumbbells for bench pressing (and being unable to do a clean rep with 75s)…to now using 90s (got 14 clean reps today!!!!). So much value in taking a step back and focusing on the basics and letting the body progress. Love you guys, keep up the great work! 💪🏋️♂️❤️🤩
Why go for heavy weight? Heavy weight is useless unless you intend for strength competition. For good looks, light weight build better looking physique
I was wandering why I started to build more muscle lifting lighter weights for higher reps, I didn't want to believe it but it's true, and I still can't believe it.
I've been hitting the gym hard these last few months. Dropped from 343 down to 325 in the last 8 weeks, getting stronger everyday, and you guys have been a valuable resource for advice and info. Love you guys.
I’ve been listening to the podcast for just about two years now and I’m so glad to have been able to get all this information at such a young age (19), and so early into my fitness journey, rather than having to figure it all out with time and experience. I feel genuinely lucky to be able to “grow up” with Mind Pump. I’m currently dealing with a few injuries that have impacted my day to day life and have found great help in the MPTV mobility videos, and especially the podcasts where you guys explain everything. I’m currently nursing a Torn ACL and LCL, a Grade 2 ankle sprain and tennis elbow with a side of ulnar nerve entrapment. Without the videos and information you guys give out I’d be in a much more painful state. Using your resources has really helped me to understand how my body works and how to improve my life in all areas. Thanks to you guys and your advice on sleep, exercise, nutrient and mental health I’ve been able to get my whole life together, and am building towards my long term goals at a steadier pace than ever! I feel like I can’t go a day without Mind Pump and when there isn’t a new podcast or video out, I always find myself enjoying one of the earlier ones! I have modified a version of MAPS Anabolic for my training and have been able to find substitutes that work for me thanks to you guys! Winning the Prime and Prime Pro would mean the world to me as I’m trying my best to work towards the optimal version of myself, and this bundle would really be like the missing puzzle piece that I just can’t afford to buy at the moment, due to reduced working hours because of my injuries and COVID. Thank you guys for everything you do! It really is life changing stuff that you guys are doing! Every morning I look in the mirror and say the Lord’s Prayer - “They don’t even know! They don’t even know!” Love from Sydney, Australia
I listen to this podcast everyday especially with my one hour drives to and from the valley to the bay. Got my stay authentic mind pump shirt on today. Thanks for just being y’all. 💪🔥
Love that you guys talked about this on the podcast! I've recently done this shift in my exercise programming from a focused 5x5 to now incorporating some isolation exercises and I have seen tremendous results! Especially from a mobility standpoint since I'm trying to fix an old left knee injury, it has never felt so stable! This has also sparked my interest in Biomechanics and learning how to "make an exercise feel heavier without actually adding any weight" which has totally changed my mindset when it comes to training. Thanks for all you guys do!
Loving MindPump and hopeful for the Prime bundle. At 54 years young and decades of consistently working out, I’m focusing hard on mobility since finding your channel/content. Thanks for all you guys do! 💪✌️
Finding your show has reignited my passion for fitness & made me realize I wasn’t crazy for not wanting to train my clients like everyone else does. Thanks to all 4 of you for the work you put in for us!
I am so glad I found you guys. Ive been listening for almost a year and I learn something new every single episode. This podcast saved me from a lifestyle of under eating, over exercising, and training the wrong way to build muscle with no focus on mobility. Since finding you guys I’ve switched from training 6 days a week HIIT style to 3 days a week following a MAPS program. I have seen so much progress and tremendous strength gains. You guys always release an episode for just what I need to hear. I know I need to focus more on mobility and proper movement patterns instead of just getting through the reps with higher weight and improper form. I feel like this episode called me out on my 💩 🤣 I want to say thank you for providing information on how to move better, feel better, and create a healthy lifestyle around strength training. You all are the real MVP’S🙌 Side note… my husband is a rancher, lifting heavy bags, tubs, pulling posts, building fence, etc. EVERY SINGLE DAY. And he is one of the strongest guys I know and he hasn’t lifted a weight since college. It just goes to show Sal’s comment on frequency/practice is true.
I am going through maps aesthetic now and love how it makes me feel. I always thought the only way to gain muscle was to lift heavy. Thanks guys for opening my eyes.
I am a newly certified personal trainer, working on my correctional exercise specialist certification (that’s a mouth full…). Listening to you is like getting another certification in “uncommon common sense” for life and fitness. Getting the prime bundle would be awesome for my future clients, and me🙏🏼
This was such a great session in retrospect. I’ve been applying a lot of these for more than a month now and found real value in the sage advice. Def a crazy statistic that prefaces weight lifting injuries too.
Very good to know specially what Sal said about the Curls and delts with the numbers. Gives me now lots of motivation to work out even having to use lighter weights. And also an understanding of appropriatel overloading a muscle with muscle mind connection addef with time under tension. Keep it up. Much respect
I just started MAPS Anabolic today. Got the RGB bundle and plan to run Performance and Aesthetic next, but I work in a factory that’s been breaking down my body over several years, and since listening to you guys, I’ve been trying to balance out my movements on both sides of my body at my job to correct and cope with some of the pain. But I would love to try Prime and Prime Pro to really feel my best again before I’m old and walking around the plant like Quasimodo
This is an amazingly podcast. I'm considering it one of the best channel for fitness education, nutrition details and stuff that have never even thought that were involved in bodybuilding. You are awesome guys, keep doing what you're doing. Let's beat the algorithm ✌😎 #MP6
I am so hooked on the MAPS programs, I haven't had anything work as well with anything out there. (and over the last 50 years, I've tried EVERYTHING) -- Thank you for all you do and bring to a saturated field. You stand out and REALLY ARE THE BEST!!!! -- Kristie
I already have a bunch of maps programs including prime and prime pro but I only started listening to mind pump not even two years ago and am at 1200 episode this week. I’m a night shift guy. Honestly just love you guys. Feel like I’m listening to my friends talk.
Goin back and watching some older episodes and this one was good, I use light pump work as like a bandaid for overly sore or hurt muscles all the time, great tool.
I was recently diagnosed with a slap tear in my left shoulder so I have started integrating corrective exercises into my weight lifting routine. I've went from lifting heavy for the past few months back down to lighter weight and I can tell a difference in my shoulder stability. I train at home so it's easier for me to go lighter and not worry about ego lifting. I'm still a lot stronger on my right side but I'm moving in the right direction.
Reassuring to hear that gaining muscle with low weight is possible. No lie, struggling with a challenging weight and trying to keep proper form turns my 30min workout to an hr due to constant corrections. Thanks!!!
I listen to your podcast everyday and love your content. I have a really physically demanding job, and I’m trying to keep up with my resistance training progress (I’m also training to be a PT) - and your advice has really helped me find a good balance so I’m not burned out constantly. Thank you for everything you’re doing
I’m 40 years old and have been working out for 20 years. I can’t seem to build the body I want and would love to win those 2 programs to get myself on the right track. I listen to you guys on a daily and have learned a lot. I’ve been trying the “trigger sessions” that you guys talk about and I feel like it’s helping. Thanks for all you do!!
Just started your kettlebell for aesthetics yesterday, my quads are killing me but I'm getting after it today again! You guys are such a great motivator, and have taken top spot in my podcast list, beating Joe rogan! Thanks guys
Just saw a vid today about supplements they posted 6 months ago. When I watch a video and am not being sold something, in fact turned away from useless and money wasting products… then that earns my trust and sub. Now it’s time to binge and get some good info
I have heard from different trainers, boxing, CrossFit, gym, the differences in training both women and men. Yes, women are easier. With boxing, they don't just want to punch the hardest or Be able to knock someone out, they want to do all those things but with perfect technique. They'll obsess over foot work and technique first. Seen this in many different sports. But I do think we all fail at this, women and men. Esp women who like guys, have lifted heavier in the past, taken time off or suffered a set back and try and rush the comeback. Have been guilty of this myself. Great discussion..... Would love the giveaway.
I do a mix, heavy to keep up with pure strength, and lighter to really feel the burn. Get the best of both worlds, building muscle and gaining strength 💪
Behind the neck lat pulldowns are actually awesome if you go super light and super slow. I treat them as a shoulder mobility exercise and squeeze my shoulder blades together as hard as I can the whole way through the concentric and eccentric with a pause with the bar on my neck.
I can’t tell you guys enough how much I appreciate the content y’all put out it has helped me become a better coach I’m new to yalls podcast and fairly new to personal training but I enjoy having yalls talks and jokes but still learning new things to get me through the day👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 keep up the great work 🔥
This is what I discovered rather that What I knew….. your training should push you further. Create movement practice that builds up, unite your body, and expand your potential to DO! Practice to improve your fitness, not to improve your practice. 🔥💪👀😁
🙋♀️ former cardio bunny experiencing a major world life shift thanks to mind pump!! Literally never thought I would enjoy lifting (and NEVER less reps with higher weights, because you know, bulky arnold 🤣🤦♀️). Currently in phase 2 of anabolic and PR my deadlift today by 10 pounds! I think it’s a combination of several things- excellent programming, frequency of workouts/I can perform consistently and doesn’t leave me feeling wrecked every wod , and magic trigger sessions. I’ve recently been geeking out on the Jordan shallow/Adam series and ditching stretching for priming and mobility. I’m all the way down the mind pump rabbit hole 😂 I’m 3 months postpartum with my 3rd kid (I have a 5 year old and 3 year old) and it’s incredible what the anabolic program has done for my mind and body.
Damn! I want that Prime Bundle. I’ve gotten some Mind Pump love on some of my previous comments, but I’ve never gotten the prize. So, let me try something a little weird. A few times I’ve commented that these all-fitness episodes are my favorites. Why’s that? Cause I don’t like your politics. But here’s the thing, and I know you guys are going to get this: just because I don’t like your politics doesn’t mean I don’t like you. Doesn’t mean I want you cancelled. And it sure doesn’t mean I don’t trust your fitness expertise. So, there it is. Obviously, I keep coming back. I keep commenting and supporting the channel. I’m going to keep coming back whether I get that sweet Prime Bundle or not. I’m going to keep coming back even when one of you says something about the government or society or whatever that I disagree with, and, in fact (and I know you’re going to get this too), I support your right to say it no matter how much I disagree with it.
Love all of your guys content, keep it up! I try ti incorporate lightweight into my training but it is hard to get over the mental barrier of wanting to do more.
Great information. I learn lot of things and steel learn more and more i will try to go with lighter. I don't not how much should I thnx u guys coz u helpt me a lot with my training
This is why I'm focusing more on bodyweight for now getting back in shape. I mix in some weights too but I know thats where my ego will f*ck things up lol
I've ssem all ;these kinds of peoples in thaw gym. Guys do all kin ds of crazy stuff in the name of training! But some of us appreciate the info you dole out. I use many of these methods you tell us about. And I've incorporated two of your exercises into my routine Is doubt will ever be dropped. They are both isolation exercises. And both have twisting motions. They are Arnolds press and Zottoman curls.
lemme lengthen them tendons with maps prime, still waitin on that "MAPS girth gains" routine to come out and no I'm not talking bout that bicep girth, I'm talkin bout that banana boat girth baby
I get a lot of hip pain issues squatting. Front of the hip. For some reason it’s worse high bar than low. No idea how to fix it even though I’ve had coaching. Prime and Prime Pro are both very appealing.
Mind Pump made me realize mobility is so important. I consider myself pretty good at it, I have a lot of hip mobility at least and I've been trying to help my mother who is 65 and LACKS it completely. Now we kind of squat and scroll sometimes together: well I am scrolling, she's just complaining while doing it 😂
I’m not sure if I listened to a recent podcast of y’all’s or an older one where y’all explained mobility, I really thought mobility was the same as flexibility 💀 I used to be a dancer and am super flexible and thought I could ignore mobility days and learned I need to incorporate it so the prime bundles would be super helpful for me 🤞🏻 (currently following anabolic)
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'm a bloke but I seem to fit the description of Adam's female clients. 😆 I'm very afraid of getting a workout injury, esp a fracture or a muscle tear, and as such am very careful with my weights. I tend to err on the side of caution and never lifting my max potential. Oh well.
I'd say 75% of male lifters lift too heavy unless they are training pure strength. You can build pretty impressive chest, front delts and triceps just doing push ups which are in the 20-50 rep range for most people! Same with body weight squats, 20+ reps per set consistently enough and you'll have some pretty impressive quads! I think people lift heavy for fewer reps because it hurts less!
I’d agree people lift too heavy, but you aren’t looking jacked with just push ups and body weight squats, unless you are doing one arm/one leg variations. It just isn’t enough. Most people, trained or not can rep out 20 body weight squats easy. Also, a lot of skinny guys can do tons of push ups, but still not have much muscle at all, because of how light they are
Power cleans are a bitch to learn with light weight. I remember being good at them in high school, but I've had to relearn them recently. I don't feel comfortable going heavy yet and can't even use enough weight to require a low catch.
Ok. Im a personal trainer and I love to lift heavy. But this was helpful . Im getting to old..My birthday is Thursday the big 46 year's young..I train lots of middle age ladys..I dont make them lift heavy much..
You have to lift heavy. That is relative to your own strength. I can do 70lb dumbbells for shoulder press 15 reps. Maybe you can do 80s for 15 or whatever it is. Go heavy.
I'm super interested by your prime programs, I've been listening for 2-3 months now and my entire idea of what I wanted and how to achieve it has changed. Mobility is my new focus and from just going heavy for year I have imbalance and dominant recruiting I need to fix. Wat up?

I can’t believe how quickly Sal blew past Justin admitting to wearing high heels, all day, everyday. Sal is all business today 🤣
Can't say it enough, nothing burns quite like taking 4+ seconds to lower a weight, best pumps I've ever had.
Nothing burns quite like Bulgarian split squat
@@muscleguyphilippines completely agree. just started doing them a month ago. After doing three sets of 10 the other day, it hurt just to sit down
I used lighter weights to get through a plateau recently. I took a couple months and lowered the weight (but increased the reps and paid more attention to technique)…and went from using 70 pound dumbbells for bench pressing (and being unable to do a clean rep with 75s)…to now using 90s (got 14 clean reps today!!!!).

Go.get them.100s buddie.. Its about that time;) congrats
Too heavy
Why go for heavy weight? Heavy weight is useless unless you intend for strength competition. For good looks, light weight build better looking physique
I was wandering why I started to build more muscle lifting lighter weights for higher reps, I didn't want to believe it but it's true, and I still can't believe it.
After being sedentary for years and slacking off with my health, I finally purchased a MAPS program. Hoping this gets me back on track.
Just qualified as a Personal Trainer learning so much from you guys everyday Keep it up!
I've been hitting the gym hard these last few months. Dropped from 343 down to 325 in the last 8 weeks, getting stronger everyday, and you guys have been a valuable resource for advice and info. Love you guys.
You guys make "light weight" a compliment. And something I intend to follow. Thank you.
This one was for very experienced lifters in my humble opinion. Superior analysis and descriptions. You Fellas really know the craft.
I’ve been listening to the podcast for just about two years now and I’m so glad to have been able to get all this information at such a young age (19), and so early into my fitness journey, rather than having to figure it all out with time and experience. I feel genuinely lucky to be able to “grow up” with Mind Pump.
I’m currently dealing with a few injuries that have impacted my day to day life and have found great help in the MPTV mobility videos, and especially the podcasts where you guys explain everything.
I’m currently nursing a Torn ACL and LCL, a Grade 2 ankle sprain and tennis elbow with a side of ulnar nerve entrapment.
Without the videos and information you guys give out I’d be in a much more painful state. Using your resources has really helped me to understand how my body works and how to improve my life in all areas. Thanks to you guys and your advice on sleep, exercise, nutrient and mental health I’ve been able to get my whole life together, and am building towards my long term goals at a steadier pace than ever! I feel like I can’t go a day without Mind Pump and when there isn’t a new podcast or video out, I always find myself enjoying one of the earlier ones!
I have modified a version of MAPS Anabolic for my training and have been able to find substitutes that work for me thanks to you guys! Winning the Prime and Prime Pro would mean the world to me as I’m trying my best to work towards the optimal version of myself, and this bundle would really be like the missing puzzle piece that I just can’t afford to buy at the moment, due to reduced working hours because of my injuries and COVID.
Thank you guys for everything you do! It really is life changing stuff that you guys are doing! Every morning I look in the mirror and say the Lord’s Prayer - “They don’t even know! They don’t even know!”
Love from Sydney, Australia
Haven't watched in about a month or two. The main guy has definitely stepped up the dosage of his TRT.
🤣🤣🤣
Juice is juice

Great discussion. I really learned a lot on this one and will definitely take "going lighter" with a purpose more seriously.
This was such a great session in retrospect. I’ve been applying a lot of these for more than a month now and found real value in the sage advice. Def a crazy statistic that prefaces weight lifting injuries too.
Very good to know specially what Sal said about the Curls and delts with the numbers.
Gives me now lots of motivation to work out even having to use lighter weights.
And also an understanding of appropriatel overloading a muscle with muscle mind connection addef with time under tension.
Keep it up. Much respect
The amount I’ve leveled up as a personal trainer and nutrition coach from watching you guys daily is unbelievable.
Thank you guys so much 👏🏻
I just started MAPS Anabolic today. Got the RGB bundle and plan to run Performance and Aesthetic next, but I work in a factory that’s been breaking down my body over several years, and since listening to you guys, I’ve been trying to balance out my movements on both sides of my body at my job to correct and cope with some of the pain.

Fire up guys, this podcast kicks ass
Pause/ tempo reps are my favorite to add in a program to mix things up. Lighter weight and a very good pump.
Goin back and watching some older episodes and this one was good, I use light pump work as like a bandaid for overly sore or hurt muscles all the time, great tool.
I really appreciate your combination of science-backed information, practicality, and individual nuance. Keep it up!
I was recently diagnosed with a slap tear in my left shoulder so I have started integrating corrective exercises into my weight lifting routine. I've went from lifting heavy for the past few months back down to lighter weight and I can tell a difference in my shoulder stability. I train at home so it's easier for me to go lighter and not worry about ego lifting. I'm still a lot stronger on my right side but I'm moving in the right direction.
18:30 tip is GOLD!!!
Reducing the chance of muscles taking over my laterals is why I prefer bands for lateral raises. Really nice peak contraction and pump too.
Reassuring to hear that gaining muscle with low weight is possible. No lie, struggling with a challenging weight and trying to keep proper form turns my 30min workout to an hr due to constant corrections. Thanks!!!
Great reminder that going light you will actually see gains!! Allow the body to adapt and rebuild 💜
Fuck Sal looks jacked. Arms all propped up in his ScarFace chair.
at age 69 you guy are an inspiration ..you keep me going and i'm getting stronger ...ty
Wow I totally get it now

100%, shoulder press is the exercise that I have this problem with. Trying to get out of recruiting my lower back
Amazing stuff, always catch each episode right when they go live
can we get an episode where you just talk about stories of training clients both good and bad
I have heard from different trainers, boxing, CrossFit, gym, the differences in training both women and men. Yes, women are easier. With boxing, they don't just want to punch the hardest or Be able to knock someone out, they want to do all those things but with perfect technique. They'll obsess over foot work and technique first.

I’m so pumped to start maps anabolic once my shoulder has recovered!!!
I do a mix, heavy to keep up with pure strength, and lighter to really feel the burn.
Get the best of both worlds, building muscle and gaining strength 💪
Behind the neck lat pulldowns are actually awesome if you go super light and super slow. I treat them as a shoulder mobility exercise and squeeze my shoulder blades together as hard as I can the whole way through the concentric and eccentric with a pause with the bar on my neck.
Needed to hear this, got loads to correct and need to stay low weight
Excellent information sharing. Thank you!
Great episode. Love the format!
This came at the best time I'm doing a de load week cuz my workout buddy hurt his shoulder ....we going light this week ...push pull legs
Another advantage is that you don't have to buy more plates when you train on your home gym.
I'm just waiting on Adam's book on the rear delt.
I can’t tell you guys enough how much I appreciate the content y’all put out it has helped me become a better coach I’m new to yalls podcast and fairly new to personal training but I enjoy having yalls talks and jokes but still learning new things to get me through the day👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 keep up the great work 🔥

East or west mind pump is the best right or left they lead the fitness industry YES! YES!
Sound advice that would have been totally lost on me when I was in my 20's.
Love all of your guys content, keep it up! I try ti incorporate lightweight into my training but it is hard to get over the mental barrier of wanting to do more.
Thanks for the info guys 💯👍🏾
Great information. I learn lot of things and steel learn more and more i will try to go with lighter.
I don't not how much should I thnx u guys coz u helpt me a lot with my training
Adam cracks me up
This is why I'm focusing more on bodyweight for now getting back in shape. I mix in some weights too but I know thats where my ego will f*ck things up lol

lemme lengthen them tendons with maps prime, still waitin on that "MAPS girth gains" routine to come out and no I'm not talking bout that bicep girth, I'm talkin bout that banana boat girth baby
I get a lot of hip pain issues squatting. Front of the hip. For some reason it’s worse high bar than low. No idea how to fix it even though I’ve had coaching. Prime and Prime Pro are both very appealing.
1 hard arm day a week combined with some light arms at the end of every workout is the best way to get absolutely massive arms.
Have yet to watch the podcast and not learn something. Good food for thought in this one.
I love this podcast bro
Follows Maps Prime….transforms into Optimus Prime!! 🦾
Just finished some fairlife milk and orgain protein ! Listening to this ready to lift ⭐️📊🏋🏿♂️
Giiieffff Anabolic!
Mom strength. MY BABY!
Thank you guys!!
Mind Pump made me realize mobility is so important. I consider myself pretty good at it, I have a lot of hip mobility at least and I've been trying to help my mother who is 65 and LACKS it completely. Now we kind of squat and scroll sometimes together: well I am scrolling, she's just complaining while doing it 😂
I’m not sure if I listened to a recent podcast of y’all’s or an older one where y’all explained mobility, I really thought mobility was the same as flexibility 💀 I used to be a dancer and am super flexible and thought I could ignore mobility days and learned I need to incorporate it so the prime bundles would be super helpful for me 🤞🏻 (currently following anabolic)

Can you do a podcast on the best athletes and the exercise they incorporated
I'm a bloke but I seem to fit the description of Adam's female clients. 😆 I'm very afraid of getting a workout injury, esp a fracture or a muscle tear, and as such am very careful with my weights. I tend to err on the side of caution and never lifting my max potential.
Oh well.
Truly love your pod cast. Made me lift heavier for a 5’ ft girl at 40 years olds
Exactly
Algo comment. Question: what do you think of nucelues overload, I’ve done it for two months now on forearms and rear delts and seen great results
I'd say 75% of male lifters lift too heavy unless they are training pure strength. You can build pretty impressive chest, front delts and triceps just doing push ups which are in the 20-50 rep range for most people! Same with body weight squats, 20+ reps per set consistently enough and you'll have some pretty impressive quads! I think people lift heavy for fewer reps because it hurts less!
I’d agree people lift too heavy, but you aren’t looking jacked with just push ups and body weight squats, unless you are doing one arm/one leg variations. It just isn’t enough. Most people, trained or not can rep out 20 body weight squats easy. Also, a lot of skinny guys can do tons of push ups, but still not have much muscle at all, because of how light they are
Just coming off of a serious neck injury, this is the knowledge I need! Thanks for the great content! Most underrated fitness channel 🔥🔥🔥
Power cleans are a bitch to learn with light weight. I remember being good at them in high school, but I've had to relearn them recently. I don't feel comfortable going heavy yet and can't even use enough weight to require a low catch.
Ok. Im a personal trainer and I love to lift heavy. But this was helpful . Im getting to old..My birthday is Thursday the big 46 year's young..I train lots of middle age ladys..I dont make them lift heavy much..
Badass thank you! 💪🏻
Still have to lift HARD!!!!
I hate it when I'm really getting a good eccentric negative pump and a big ole fart squeezes out, so embarrassing yet so satisfying 😌
Awesome 👍
You have to lift heavy. That is relative to your own strength. I can do 70lb dumbbells for shoulder press 15 reps. Maybe you can do 80s for 15 or whatever it is. Go heavy.
I'm super interested by your prime programs, I've been listening for 2-3 months now and my entire idea of what I wanted and how to achieve it has changed. Mobility is my new focus and from just going heavy for year I have imbalance and dominant recruiting I need to fix. Wat up?
