One of the biggest most impactful advice you’ve given that I’ve shared with multiple people that struggle with their self-image is to take care of yourself as if you were your own child. I was on that vicious cycle of exercising and eating as little as possible as a form of punishment. I had so much self-hatred and thought that my value came from how I looked. But once I changed my perspective, and started to treat myself as I would treat a loved one, everything changed. Exercise and food became nourishment to my body and a way to take care of myself. The self-hatred completely vanished because I don’t judge the people I love by how they look. I have so much peace now and I’m so happy as a result of it. And guess what, I look way better. I just focused on what was best for my body and my health (according to MindPump) and looks came after. So thank you guys so much! You were a blessing to me!
The best tip that I have ever got from listening for a little over a year now is to PRACTICE the movements. I have changed my entire workout mindset and mentality in terms of intensity and not worrying about the aesthetics because that will come naturally. I listen and watch you guys everyday and I tell my friends and family about you guys all the time. My roommate makes fun of me for doing mobility and watching the podcasts in our living room but whatever.
The best tip that I have learned from this podcast is to consistently get enough sleep. As someone who worked out hard and had a good diet in a caloric surplus, I still wasn’t gaining weight, and so I assumed it was due to genetics and this was how it would always be. However, at that point, I was getting 5 hours of sleep because I had to wake up early for work and I didn’t want to sleep earlier. Once I did start sleeping earlier though, my gains started skyrocketing, and it was shocking to see how much of an affect sleep truly has on our gains. Not to mention, I started doing MAPS Anabolic at the time, so maybe that was the secret formula! I’ve repeated it 3 times and have seen gains every time, but I think it’s time I move on to Performance, and would love to win it. Thanks guys for allowing me to get gains as a hardgainer!
The best tip I have got from listening to you guys is to keep listening to the podcast so I keep learning more about about how to achieve healthier lifting habits and just a healthier lifestyle in general. Thank you.
One of the best tips was about BALANCE! Sal mentioned that when you get back to the gym from vacation/break just come back and train without going ham on yourself, start with self love and maintain that as you go. And it’s ok to not enjoy it, consistently showing up and giving yourself the gift of discipline has tremendous benefits in many facets of life beyond physical mobility and strength.
The most useful tip that I got from this podcast was the idea of pre fatiguing. Not because you can get a sick pump or for strength endurance. But rather for the idea of building a better mind/muscle connection. Pre fatiguing my glutes with single stiff leg deadlifts prior to deadlifting as well as pre fatiguing my glutes with hip thrust before squatting has helped me build a better mind/muscle connection and that mind/muscle connection has allowed to improve the quality of my movement patterns. Now that my movement patterns are increasing in quality I’m finding that I’m less quad dominant in my squat and less lower back dominant in my deadlift. Thanks to you guys I know things
Couple tips that helped me were to remember that the feeling of hunger doesn’t necessary mean I have to eat. Using coffee as a hunger suppressant really works, another one is that consistency and discipline is the key to success. Another tip is that if you tie your shoes it will reduce the chance of you falling! 🙂
the best tip i’ve gotten is not over doing it. it’s hard to hear transitioning from performing sports at a high level to training at a high level. In sports the more time you spend on the field, he more results you’ll see. Thanks to you guys i’ve realized the same isn’t true for the gym. Not pushing myself to the limit and taking off days when I need it isn’t going to result in myself falling behind, it will just enhance my progress. Thanks for all you guys do.
The best tip i got from MP was micro-workouts. as a massage therapist and translator i dont have a lot of time but this has been a great way to keep and even make gainz.
The overall best tip for me has been the eye opening truth that in a huge long term weight loss program the first step should be to getting stronger prioritizing muscle building instead of cardio (while forgetting the scale for a while)
I think the best tip I've gotten is that health is inclusive of more than just the physical. Sal told a story about how eating pizza and having some wine with his family is important for his emotional and social health. When I got into diet and fitness about 18 months ago, I was almost orthorexic. I thought I had to be dialed in at all times. Talking about health in the collective sense, made me realize that there's more to life than my protein intake and progressive overload. I need to be healthy in every aspect of life, have some balance. Love what you guys do.
My favorite tip is the switching to full body workouts but everyone is saying that, I actually have a tip to give. My tip: turn on notifications for the pod, I am constantly lacking motivation to hit the gym but seeing the pods get posted and listening gets me back in the right mindset and out of the self-criticism mentality. Thanks for the low key emotional support lol
I have to agree that my favorite tip and most life changing was doing full-body training, plus the trigger sessions. The Mind Pump crew has reinvigorated my fitness journey and been the best change in my fitness journey. My fitness journey has been up and down throughout my life. I had gotten away from body part split training years ago when in my late 30’s and even tried doing Bulgarian volume training to get better at squats and deadlifts. I even tried CrossFit, and kinda burned my self out. When I watched your free videos on MAPS Anabolic and tried your free content I instantly saw positive change. I’m in Phase 2 of MAPS Anabolic now and just love the way my body is reacting to the training. Also, want to send a shout out to Sal, love the Resistance Training Revolution. Great content and I reference back to it daily. Thanks to you all at Mind Pump, and keep putting out the excellent content. You are changing people’s lives.
Best tip I got from Mind Pump is listening to my body, over training, lack of sleep, digestive issues, anything my body is telling me feels wrong or feels off I should address and I used to "listen" to my body but not know how to really address what it was saying, Shoulder hurts, "oh, I need a day off shoulder training before I get right back to where I left off." instead of what is causing my shoulder to be sore, how am I rehabilitating it, how am I strengthening it and how and I taking care of it afterwards.
My best tip from you guys was- consistency is best! Going to the gym and being consistent with short workouts , even on the days you don’t want to go is superior to knocking yourself bandy trying to increase weights & volume every single time. This and full body routines as opposed to splitting parts. Love Mind Pump podcasts! Always so interesting & informative. 10 out of 10 guys 👌
Your podcast has completely renewed my spark for my personal fitness and encouraged me to finally do my fitness certificates. You guys dont BS and tell it how it is and we all appreciate that
The best tip I have gotten is to hook grip when I deadlift instead of reverse grip! This has seriously improved my deadlift technique and I can lift so much more weight and hold on for more reps then usual!
The best tip for me is to do diet and exercise out of love, not hate of myself. Once I made the mindset change and started to think from that angle, consistent exercise and eating healthy food has become part of my life. Thanks mind pump team.
The best tip I’ve gotten from you guys was hard to choose but “trigger sessions” never even heard of it before and it’s helped me see gains 10x more now and such faster recovery., thank y’all!
Great tips! It took 5 years for me to finish school, I complained the entire time. Finally finished and got the “job” that I thought that I wanted and I f****** hate it. Falling in love with the process is important ❤️ If not you’ll chase something your entire life.
Best tips for me since following MindPump. * Like Sal I totally ignore all studies * Like Adam I never always have a story about my own experience - whatever the discussion * Dominate conversations like Justin and never let anyone else say a word Joking aside I love you guys and you have changed my health more than anything in my life. Your best tip for me 'Do as little as possible to illicit the most amount of change'. This is a life-changer and is my mantra in every aspect of my life
Best tip.do isolation exercise before compound to wake up muscles that are less dominate during a movement. I found this especially helpful with my pullups. I am shoulder and bicep dominant. Did lat pulldowns before pull ups to help activate my lats. Extremely helpful. I found this helpful too with my squats to help get my glutes activated. I would do barbell hip thrusters first. Made a huge difference. Thanks
The best tip that I've learned from MP is how to properly recover and get back into training (slowly) after having a baby! I've learned so many valuable things from your guys' stories based off your wives PP journey's and your stories from helping pregnant/PP clients . I am now 9 month PP and feeling stronger and healthier than ever! Thanks MP 💪🏻
I remember when Sal was talking about leg lifts and how most people get them wrong. So I questioned myself. Since then I’ve focused on really squeezing the core and keeping away from hip flexors. I’ve seen pretty good strength gains in my core, and aesthetics as well. Thank you guys!!! I also do full body every other day because of you guys. Thank you!!!
The supplement tips have been a game changer for me. Creatine daily has made a noticeable difference. Also the reiterating of not over training and total body is something I fought for so long. Finally gave in and got quick performance and esthetic improvements
*Best tip I that I got from listening to yall, is that everyone is more consistent with different approaches, and for me, 3 days week leaves to much freedom for me mentally and physically leading to procrastination, 6 days a week was a game changer for me! keeping me consistently and mentally tuned in!
I love this podcast because it’s because of this podcast and you program that I’ve been able to not only get my body to where I want it to be at but I can also educate myself and see the importance of how to take care of my body and doing things right even if it takes a little longer.
The best tip I got that is not in this episode is that pain in certain part of the body is because your body do not have the mobility to do the movement, and hence your central nervous system is trying to stop you from doing the movement. I am currently having shoulder pain problem seeing a therapist for it. After hearing that tip, I got my therapist to focus on getting the relevant muscles to be activated and I am starting to see some improvement… I myself is a group fitness instructor, but haven’t been really successful in getting the body I wish for myself. After listening to mind pump, it really helped me realized the numerous misconceptions that I have… I would really hope to receive more trainings materials from mind pump so that I can better help my clients.
First up, thank you guys! I've only recently discovered you, but you have provided such clarity and insights on training, especially around not just enduring exercise, but making it about learning technique and putting focus on the journey rather than the end goal, in which you achieve goals and change along your journey! That has been pivotal to me to hear that advice. I've always looked at weight loss and exercise as - once I reach this weight or once I get this fit I can stop and go back to normal. Now it's about incorporation into daily life, not making it a chore and it being sustainable in the long term. At 47 year's old and stop-start dieting & training since my 20's, your advice is gold! Keep up the great work guys. Appreciate it so much! :)
(I want MAPS Performance, but I also just want to say something important to you guys) Here before 100 views, amazing !! You guys are awesome and the best tip(s) that I’ve ever gotten was more so a podcast. “Ten Ways To Break A Plateau” is the one podcast episode I would recommend to anybody who has never heard of you, or needs advice in training no matter what level they are at. Also I would add in to listen to or read “The Resistance Training Revolution.” Again, you all are so underrated and under-appreciated. You all deserve so much more on all your platforms!
Really appreciated today's podcast! Had difficult time motivating myself to workout today, but after listening to all those great tips, I just had to apply some of them in the gym. I just had my period back a month ago, and you guys helped me a lot to understand that proper fuel is necessary for every athlete. Thanks 😊
The best tip for me is talking to a Therapist and get your mind and body in sync before starting your fitness journey . The mental factor on fitness , how you see yourself and your why’s and what’s . If you get your mental strength progress first slowly (progressive overload ) Then your body will follow (lifestyle)
Not to down your experience whatsoever, but I found the other way works too! Just like fitness-while there’s general guidelines, every body responds differently to certain things at certain times. Fitness helped me gain the self confidence/esteem and ability to overcome challenges that I needed to have in order to tackle mental and emotional health issues. While therapy has helped and definitely not saying I wouldn’t have worked on these otherwise in my life without fitness, starting to properly workout as a teenager, I feel, really helped me develop the skills to be a more emotionally and mentally sound young adult! I agree tho, sometimes weight loss or a health journey is being held back by thoughts, beliefs, and the mental side of things. Therapy helps this.
Hard to pinpoint my favorite tips from this episode, but I'll probably have to go with the mini bulks/mini cuts & "more is not always better." This is the first year I've been working out consistently (going on 10 months now) & in the early stages of my fitness journey, I fell into the trap of doing hundreds of reps and sets. Recently cut down my volume and have been seeing amazing results! Thank you guys for providing a life changing podcast!
Best tip is listening to Mind Pump. My metabolism went from like 1800 calories per day (at like 270 pounds and in terrible shape) to 3600-3800 ish calories per day at just under 200 pounds and stronger than I ever been! Also went down about 10 plus inches in my jeans! Keep rocking it!!! 🤩💪🏋️♂️
The best tip I've heard on the podcast, was the potty training tip. Adam said something about scheduling a weekend for his son to run around without a diaper and my wife and I tried it and had amazing success.
you guys & fouad abiad’s bodybuilding hosstile podcast are the two best fitness podcasts out there. can’t find this information anywhere else. couldn’t thank you guys enough
Best tip I’ve gotten are two (I literally cannot pick between the two): more frequent stimulation (trigger sessions or more full body workouts), and not going to failure. You guys provide lots of value, I’m a physical therapist and enjoy hearing another perspective and love the impact! Also I sit down in the middle of the night when I pee too so that I can keep my eyes closed and stay sleepy to fall back asleep easier 😉 Otherwise I struggle mightily to fall back asleep, and that means less anabolic response, which I know you all would HATE 🙅🏻♂️
The best tip by far I have received from Mind Pump are the trigger workouts and how to structure them. What a gamechanger!! Affirmation of my full body workout beliefs were also liberating. :-)
I’m a 19 year old college student and the best tip I’ve learned from mind pump is to switch my programming when I transition from a bulk to cut or Vice versa. I’m halfway through maps Anabolic Phase I and I’m already seeing some of the craziest gains of my life while starting my bulk. Much love for mind pump!
The best tip for me was yin yoga. I've heard it recommended so many times and decided to give it a try. Adding that in has definitely helped with my recovery. I'm just finishing up Maps Anabolic and I'm stronger, leaner, and healthier than ever!
My best tip learned from mind pump is from the recent episode with LCK and giving your body 10 months plus to recover after child birth. I'm 3 months postpartum and struggling with body image. I'm a long time listener and weight lifter and it;'s hard to accept your new body after having a baby!! But I'm giving myself grace
Your mind, body, and spirit are all connected. When you strengthen one area in the proper way, the other areas naturally will strengthen. Balance is key
I've gained 23 lbs of fairly lean mass this year after listening to you guys! The frequency each week, focusing on compounds, and tracking my protein made the difference!
My best tip is. A viewer asked a question about whether time under tension is the main focus of your set. The guys said that whatever you do the least is the one you should start incorporating. I was doing mostly slower reps in my sets but on some safer exercises have switched to faster reps. Excellent gains, lightweight baby.
Best tip, focus on 80% compound lifts, 20% isolations was huge in minimising junk volume and keeping things simple instead off going overboard with isolations.
The best tip I get from u guys (and I have some years of experience) is the one about working out your arms with heavy dips,chin ups, close grip bench press etc. I use to overdo my biceps and triceps and now I just focus on this big movements and throw one extra isolated exercise for BIC+tric.
5:00 I have definitely noticed some strength gains following you guys here rather than going to failure. Also giving myself 2 minutes in between sets rather than rushing
Best tip I received was from some jacked guy I met at summer camp music festival in probably 2011. I asked for his advice and he said, "go in the gym and make the weights your bitch." Don't go in there afraid of the weights scared you may not be ready to progress to the next dumbbell or the next number in the stack. Make them your bitch and own them. (With good form obviously)
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.
Okay, I'm finally there...I'm putting the scale in the attic for six months. I'm going to keep going on Maps Starter, and then move to the next program you have. I do love this process. I'm willing to toss the scale metric and deepen my positive relationship with the process! Thank you guys for the education and encouragement!
Oh man, too many too list but I'll try: full body workouts, the strategy of not going to failure as often as I used to/keeping a cpuple of reps in the tank, sleep hygiene, workout phasing and not marrying any one type, unilateral training, the healthy and strategic way of doing cardio instead of being mindless about it, trigger sessions to maintain muscle building signal, custom priming exercises instead of silly pre workout warmup routines (like running in place), aiming for .6, .8 or at most one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight instead of the outlandish amounts I grew up hearing bodybuilders talk about, and so on. Really looking forward to eventually mastering the Turkish getup and especially (hopefully) the pistol squat.
Finding you guys is the best thing that happened to me. I'm Asian, started working out since the pandemic (almost 2years ago), got no results. I thought I had poor genetics. Found out I was doing everything wrong. I did so much cardio and ate less food. The exact opposite of what you guys teach. Now 3months in, focus on strength training, just walk for little cardio. Bumped up my calories. And wow, just wow. I almost gave up, but you guys brought me back. Thank you so much!
I love, love, love the bulking tip for woman. It is life changing for me! I feel like a kid again where I can eat what I want and not put on weight. It prob ably helps that I like to eat foods that make me feel good - lots of fresh fruit and vegetables with proteins.
I really enjoy listening and learning from watching each of your amazing videos. 👍👌 Thank you so much for all the brilliant content. I really enjoyed this podcast and loved every tip. They are all excellent but the ones that stood out was lol 🤪 putting the same used cutlery into one section in the dishwasher so it will be easier to put away without sorting. OMG! What a brilliant idea. 👏👏👏A Truly awesome tip and also the one about men peeing lol in the night to sit down. Lol. I am so happy to hear this. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏
Best tip was on a dude's question about his calories(don't remember exact video). Don't be nitty picky about EXACT calories per day to the level you go psychotic as long as your plan is with a target in mind and you stay consistent. Thanks dudes.
Great show guys, as usual. Lots of good tips in there. I would add: read The Cashflow Quadrant, but you already mentioned the Rich Dad books a couple weeks ago so I will give you another one: read great self improvement books, like Think And Grow Rich, or listen to the audio versions. Its like “practicing the movement,” but with the mind.
Y’all’s joint podcast with Jason Phillips, jason said “ you can’t implement a good training program and have a shitty diet and expect results and you also can’t have a good diet with a crap training program and expect results” and I live by that tbh lmao. Its helped me see a lot of gains and just be more consistent that’s whole podcast was awesome.
The best tip not listed is from the Jason Phillips ep, where you guys talk about how, with protein accounted for, your carb to fat ratio should be dependent upon your lifestyle and activity level
The best tip in this show I think is THE SCALE WILL LIE TO YOU remember muscle tissue weighs more than fat tissue per volume. You may weight more on the scale but have less fat and look better too. One of the tips from an earlier show I liked was listen to your body. The problem with that is we have become so fast paced in our lives we forgot how to do that. Our bodies will tell us what we need or don't need (for the most part) another tip I liked was practice, practice, practice in this world of immediate gratification it is forgotten how to get to the goals your striving for. I need to get there now. If you practice your exercise movement many of the other things you spoke of will follow (fall in love with your workout, easier routine, ect) you won't have to fight your body or yourself ,mentally, as Sal said about food you will begin to crave what you practiced and if you don't get it you become grumpy and eventually your mental state adjusts until you fall off the wagon. Keep on pumping be safe and healthy
The best tips that’s not listed in this episode is listening to y’all’s podcast and reading Resistance Training Revolution 💪🏽

Shoutout to whoever wins MAPS Performance and goodluck to all!
The best tip that I have ever got from listening for a little over a year now is to
PRACTICE the movements. I have changed my entire workout mindset and mentality in terms of intensity and not worrying about the aesthetics because that will come naturally. I listen and watch you guys everyday and I tell my friends and family about you guys all the time. My roommate makes fun of me for doing mobility and watching the podcasts in our living room but whatever.
Best tip is to listen to your body and not go crazy over generalized studies cause everybody is different and do what works for you 💪🏽🔥
The best tip that I have learned from this podcast is to consistently get enough sleep. As someone who worked out hard and had a good diet in a caloric surplus, I still wasn’t gaining weight, and so I assumed it was due to genetics and this was how it would always be.

Big time 🥊
I agree. I believe 90% of fitness enthusiasts don't get it. Sleep is imperative for everyone. Scientific studies confirms it. Sleep is Key
The best tip I have got from listening to you guys is to keep listening to the podcast so I keep learning more about about how to achieve healthier lifting habits and just a healthier lifestyle in general. Thank you.

Why would you not want to be quad dominant in a squat? Squats are supposed to be quad dominant
15,000 steps changed my life!

Using coffee as a hunger suppressant really works, another one is that consistency and discipline is the key to success. Another tip is that if you tie your shoes it will reduce the chance of you falling! 🙂
The best advice were 20 minute compound lifts workouts.
the best tip i’ve gotten is not over doing it. it’s hard to hear transitioning from performing sports at a high level to training at a high level. In sports the more time you spend on the field, he more results you’ll see. Thanks to you guys i’ve realized the same isn’t true for the gym. Not pushing myself to the limit and taking off days when I need it isn’t going to result in myself falling behind, it will just enhance my progress. Thanks for all you guys do.

Full body workouts changed my perception of weight training! Thank you for bringing this on the table!
My best tip from you guys was- consistency is best!

I love all of your fitness tips and it has helped me so much, but that silverware tip… absolute game changer.
Cardio interferes with muscle building!! Life changer!! Thank you 🙏🏽
Your podcast has completely renewed my spark for my personal fitness and encouraged me to finally do my fitness certificates. You guys dont BS and tell it how it is and we all appreciate that
Best tips ever!!! Adams silverware washing tip! LIFE CHANGER!!!!
The best tip I have gotten is to hook grip when I deadlift instead of reverse grip! This has seriously improved my deadlift technique and I can lift so much more weight and hold on for more reps then usual!
The best tip for me is to do diet and exercise out of love, not hate of myself. Once I made the mindset change and started to think from that angle, consistent exercise and eating healthy food has become part of my life. Thanks mind pump team.
Did you achieve goal yet
The best & most helpful tip I've gotten from MP is to focus on full body workouts.
This is the single best hour on fitness on TH-cam.
The best tip I’ve gotten from you guys was hard to choose but “trigger sessions” never even heard of it before and it’s helped me see gains 10x more now and such faster recovery., thank y’all!
I wish there was 3 guys like you doing episodes in every topic there is
Great tips! It took 5 years for me to finish school, I complained the entire time.
Finally finished and got the “job” that I thought that I wanted and I f****** hate it.
Falling in love with the process is important ❤️ If not you’ll chase something your entire life.
My new favorite podcast. Completely addicted
Best tips for me since following MindPump.
* Like Sal I totally ignore all studies
* Like Adam I never always have a story about my own experience - whatever the discussion
* Dominate conversations like Justin and never let anyone else say a word
Joking aside I love you guys and you have changed my health more than anything in my life. Your best tip for me 'Do as little as possible to illicit the most amount of change'. This is a life-changer and is my mantra in every aspect of my life

*Best tip I that I got from listening to yall, is that everyone is more consistent with different approaches, and for me, 3 days week leaves to much freedom for me mentally and physically leading to procrastination, 6 days a week was a game changer for me! keeping me consistently and mentally tuned in!
These tips are gold 🪙
Glad that they are helpful!
Sorting silverware first....MINDBLOWN!
I love this podcast because it’s because of this podcast and you program that I’ve been able to not only get my body to where I want it to be at but I can also educate myself and see the importance of how to take care of my body and doing things right even if it takes a little longer.
The best tip I got that is not in this episode is that pain in certain part of the body is because your body do not have the mobility to do the movement, and hence your central nervous system is trying to stop you from doing the movement. I am currently having shoulder pain problem seeing a therapist for it. After hearing that tip, I got my therapist to focus on getting the relevant muscles to be activated and I am starting to see some improvement…
I myself is a group fitness instructor, but haven’t been really successful in getting the body I wish for myself. After listening to mind pump, it really helped me realized the numerous misconceptions that I have…
I would really hope to receive more trainings materials from mind pump so that I can better help my clients.
First up, thank you guys! I've only recently discovered you, but you have provided such clarity and insights on training, especially around not just enduring exercise, but making it about learning technique and putting focus on the journey rather than the end goal, in which you achieve goals and change along your journey! That has been pivotal to me to hear that advice. I've always looked at weight loss and exercise as - once I reach this weight or once I get this fit I can stop and go back to normal. Now it's about incorporation into daily life, not making it a chore and it being sustainable in the long term. At 47 year's old and stop-start dieting & training since my 20's, your advice is gold! Keep up the great work guys. Appreciate it so much! :)
The tip that got me subscribed was heavy narrow grip pressing and dips for triceps growth over the isolated movements
(I want MAPS Performance, but I also just want to say something important to you guys) Here before 100 views, amazing !! You guys are awesome and the best tip(s) that I’ve ever gotten was more so a podcast. “Ten Ways To Break A Plateau” is the one podcast episode I would recommend to anybody who has never heard of you, or needs advice in training no matter what level they are at. Also I would add in to listen to or read “The Resistance Training Revolution.”
Again, you all are so underrated and under-appreciated. You all deserve so much more on all your platforms!
Really appreciated today's podcast! Had difficult time motivating myself to workout today, but after listening to all those great tips, I just had to apply some of them in the gym. I just had my period back a month ago, and you guys helped me a lot to understand that proper fuel is necessary for every athlete. Thanks 😊
The best tip for me is talking to a Therapist and get your mind and body in sync before starting your fitness journey . The mental factor on fitness , how you see yourself and your why’s and what’s . If you get your mental strength progress first slowly (progressive overload ) Then your body will follow (lifestyle)
Not to down your experience whatsoever, but I found the other way works too! Just like fitness-while there’s general guidelines, every body responds differently to certain things at certain times. Fitness helped me gain the self confidence/esteem and ability to overcome challenges that I needed to have in order to tackle mental and emotional health issues. While therapy has helped and definitely not saying I wouldn’t have worked on these otherwise in my life without fitness, starting to properly workout as a teenager, I feel, really helped me develop the skills to be a more emotionally and mentally sound young adult! I agree tho, sometimes weight loss or a health journey is being held back by thoughts, beliefs, and the mental side of things. Therapy helps this.
This is a keeper
Hard to pinpoint my favorite tips from this episode, but I'll probably have to go with the mini bulks/mini cuts & "more is not always better." This is the first year I've been working out consistently (going on 10 months now) & in the early stages of my fitness journey, I fell into the trap of doing hundreds of reps and sets. Recently cut down my volume and have been seeing amazing results! Thank you guys for providing a life changing podcast!
Best tip is listening to Mind Pump. My metabolism went from like 1800 calories per day (at like 270 pounds and in terrible shape) to 3600-3800 ish calories per day at just under 200 pounds and stronger than I ever been! Also went down about 10 plus inches in my jeans! Keep rocking it!!! 🤩💪🏋️♂️
The best tip I've heard on the podcast, was the potty training tip. Adam said something about scheduling a weekend for his son to run around without a diaper and my wife and I tried it and had amazing success.
The late part of the episode was hilarious 😂
Y’all are awesome and have completely changed my perspective on fitness
you guys & fouad abiad’s bodybuilding hosstile podcast are the two best fitness podcasts out there. can’t find this information anywhere else. couldn’t thank you guys enough
Best tip I’ve gotten are two (I literally cannot pick between the two): more frequent stimulation (trigger sessions or more full body workouts), and not going to failure. You guys provide lots of value, I’m a physical therapist and enjoy hearing another perspective and love the impact!
Also I sit down in the middle of the night when I pee too so that I can keep my eyes closed and stay sleepy to fall back asleep easier 😉 Otherwise I struggle mightily to fall back asleep, and that means less anabolic response, which I know you all would HATE 🙅🏻♂️
The best tip by far I have received from Mind Pump are the trigger workouts and how to structure them. What a gamechanger!! Affirmation of my full body workout beliefs were also liberating. :-)
I’m a 19 year old college student and the best tip I’ve learned from mind pump is to switch my programming when I transition from a bulk to cut or Vice versa. I’m halfway through maps Anabolic Phase I and I’m already seeing some of the craziest gains of my life while starting my bulk. Much love for mind pump!
These are honestly soooo spot on.
The best tip for me was yin yoga. I've heard it recommended so many times and decided to give it a try. Adding that in has definitely helped with my recovery. I'm just finishing up Maps Anabolic and I'm stronger, leaner, and healthier than ever!
My best tip learned from mind pump is from the recent episode with LCK and giving your body 10 months plus to recover after child birth. I'm 3 months postpartum and struggling with body image. I'm a long time listener and weight lifter and it;'s hard to accept your new body after having a baby!! But I'm giving myself grace
Your mind, body, and spirit are all connected. When you strengthen one area in the proper way, the other areas naturally will strengthen. Balance is key
I've gained 23 lbs of fairly lean mass this year after listening to you guys! The frequency each week, focusing on compounds, and tracking my protein made the difference!
No you didn’t stop lying.
@@jamesball5743 tbf there was probably more fat than I originally thought but I really did go from 170 to 195 and never lost my abs. Not lying at all.
The best tip I’ve gotten from Mind Pump is that I should intuitively eat.
Love this 🤘
My best tip is. A viewer asked a question about whether time under tension is the main focus of your set. The guys said that whatever you do the least is the one you should start incorporating. I was doing mostly slower reps in my sets but on some safer exercises have switched to faster reps. Excellent gains, lightweight baby.
Best tip, focus on 80% compound lifts, 20% isolations was huge in minimising junk volume and keeping things simple instead off going overboard with isolations.
Adjusting rep tempo during a set is a great tip to accommodate misjudged weight or limited equipment.
The best tip I get from u guys (and I have some years of experience) is the one about working out your arms with heavy dips,chin ups, close grip bench press etc. I use to overdo my biceps and triceps and now I just focus on this big movements and throw one extra isolated exercise for BIC+tric.
5:00 I have definitely noticed some strength gains following you guys here rather than going to failure. Also giving myself 2 minutes in between sets rather than rushing
Best tip I got was the z press - it was a game changer 🙌
Best tip I received was from some jacked guy I met at summer camp music festival in probably 2011. I asked for his advice and he said, "go in the gym and make the weights your bitch." Don't go in there afraid of the weights scared you may not be ready to progress to the next dumbbell or the next number in the stack. Make them your bitch and own them. (With good form obviously)
Hi guys,the best tip that is not in this episode is be patient and stay consistent with the process.Thanks for sharing so valuable information.
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.
Since im at work and doing one right now, I'd have to say TRIGGER SESSIONS are game changers, especially for us that work long hours
extreme frequency is best to tip I heard here
Okay, I'm finally there...I'm putting the scale in the attic for six months. I'm going to keep going on Maps Starter, and then move to the next program you have. I do love this process. I'm willing to toss the scale metric and deepen my positive relationship with the process! Thank you guys for the education and encouragement!
I been sitting to pee at home for years. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Oh man, too many too list but I'll try: full body workouts, the strategy of not going to failure as often as I used to/keeping a cpuple of reps in the tank, sleep hygiene, workout phasing and not marrying any one type, unilateral training, the healthy and strategic way of doing cardio instead of being mindless about it, trigger sessions to maintain muscle building signal, custom priming exercises instead of silly pre workout warmup routines (like running in place), aiming for .6, .8 or at most one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight instead of the outlandish amounts I grew up hearing bodybuilders talk about, and so on. Really looking forward to eventually mastering the Turkish getup and especially (hopefully) the pistol squat.
Thanks bros
My favorite tip is putting the forks with the forks and the spoons with the spoons in the dishwasher so that it’s way easier to put away.
Shit it ended up on the episode😂
Thank you, really appreciate everything you do. Much love 💗
Thank you!
Finding you guys is the best thing that happened to me. I'm Asian, started working out since the pandemic (almost 2years ago), got no results. I thought I had poor genetics. Found out I was doing everything wrong. I did so much cardio and ate less food. The exact opposite of what you guys teach.
Now 3months in, focus on strength training, just walk for little cardio. Bumped up my calories. And wow, just wow.
I almost gave up, but you guys brought me back. Thank you so much!
The silverware tip is still number 1 in my book 🤣🤣
I love, love, love the bulking tip for woman. It is life changing for me! I feel like a kid again where I can eat what I want and not put on weight. It prob ably helps that I like to eat foods that make me feel good - lots of fresh fruit and vegetables with proteins.
Episode 1320! Fats are essential for your body to function properly. Has helped me out a lot in how I feel.
I am biggest fan of Sal 😭🙏🏻❤
Get in Joe Rogan or invite him on the show
You are amazing guys!!!Keep the good work 👏Thank you very much!
#MP3
I really enjoy listening and learning from watching each of your amazing videos. 👍👌 Thank you so much for all the brilliant content.
I really enjoyed this podcast and loved every tip. They are all excellent but the ones that stood out was lol 🤪 putting the same used cutlery into one section in the dishwasher so it will be easier to put away without sorting. OMG! What a brilliant idea. 👏👏👏A Truly awesome tip and also the one about men peeing lol in the night to sit down. Lol. I am so happy to hear this. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏
Best tip was on a dude's question about his calories(don't remember exact video). Don't be nitty picky about EXACT calories per day to the level you go psychotic as long as your plan is with a target in mind and you stay consistent. Thanks dudes.
Great show guys, as usual. Lots of good tips in there. I would add: read The Cashflow Quadrant, but you already mentioned the Rich Dad books a couple weeks ago so I will give you another one: read great self improvement books, like Think And Grow Rich, or listen to the audio versions. Its like “practicing the movement,” but with the mind.
Y’all’s joint podcast with Jason Phillips, jason said “ you can’t implement a good training program and have a shitty diet and expect results and you also can’t have a good diet with a crap training program and expect results” and I live by that tbh lmao. Its helped me see a lot of gains and just be more consistent that’s whole podcast was awesome.
I just luv your show and gonna start MAPS Starter… any deals coming? Canadian exchange sucks🥊
Gotta get these twenty one points down. Starting over for the thousandth time and I may need a solid starting point.
We should get a stock of the week segment. For entertainment purposes only. I loaded up on weedmaps shares.
The best tip not listed is from the Jason Phillips ep, where you guys talk about how, with protein accounted for, your carb to fat ratio should be dependent upon your lifestyle and activity level
The best tip in this show I think is THE SCALE WILL LIE TO YOU remember muscle tissue weighs more than fat tissue per volume. You may weight more on the scale but have less fat and look better too. One of the tips from an earlier show I liked was listen to your body. The problem with that is we have become so fast paced in our lives we forgot how to do that. Our bodies will tell us what we need or don't need (for the most part) another tip I liked was practice, practice, practice in this world of immediate gratification it is forgotten how to get to the goals your striving for. I need to get there now. If you practice your exercise movement many of the other things you spoke of will follow (fall in love with your workout, easier routine, ect) you won't have to fight your body or yourself ,mentally, as Sal said about food you will begin to crave what you practiced and if you don't get it you become grumpy and eventually your mental state adjusts until you fall off the wagon. Keep on pumping be safe and healthy
