I'll never forget all I wanted to do when I was a kid was to be a pilot after watching Top Gun. So instead I join the Marine Corps and became a Ground Pounder. Now after watching Top Gun again all I want to do is be a pilot again at 46 lol
Love the podcast and the videos. I'm a 51 year old personal trainer who is always looking to get better and you guys have been a great help. Keep up the good work!
I’m always a fan of these old school training discussions on the podcast. It’s helpful to get away from what’s trendy at the moment and move back to the basics of what works.
The whole fitness community needed to hear this ! Whether you are an athlete, coach, or “average joe” in the gym, it’s imperative you understand the difference between “adaption”and “healing”. I’m a retired D1 collegiate athlete, who is actively pursuing a career as a fitness trainer and performance coach - so reaching peak “intensity” and/or “chasing the pump” has always been my priority in the gym, but at what costs, ya know? This video just affirms how crucial it is to understand the difference between “effective” programming and “intensive” programming. This conversation solidifies that “progress” doesn’t have to be “painful”, just pursue “purpose” in each rep!
Symmetry is about balance. It's important to have that in the way you move and look but also in how you live. Fitness has helped me find that balance, helping to balance work, family, hobbies and taking care of myself. By balancing all those out, my mental health feels symmetrical. Keep up the great content fellas.
Changing my mindset about my workouts has been one of the biggest improvements since listening to mind pump! From making sure I'm sore to know I "actually did something" to feeling better and energized leaving the gym is huge. Thank you for all you do for both fitness professionals and the average person trying to better their life!
Winner! Please email ann@mindpumpmedia.com with this episode number, a screenshot of your youtube profile, and the email you would like the program to go to!
Hi!🌺 I just recently found your channel, blog, Instagram and homepage and I'm so impressed. This is what I have been looking for! Evidence based training and advice that really gives the results that you want. I can't even start to tell you how much I've been led astray from all kinds of conflicting advice that leads you nowhere.🤪 I have been living on disability for about 22 years bcs I have so much pain from fibromyalgia but interestingly enough gym training is the best kind of training for me. Doctors I have met sadly tell fibromyalgia patients that gym training should be avoided. That makes me sad and angry when I know how important it is for your general health! I'm very interested in your gym programs and I look forward to exploring all of your content more! I have already subscribed and turned the notifications on and ofc liked and I have checked you out everywhere bcs your content is awesome!🌞 Best regards from Sweden!🌺🇸🇪🌞
1:16:35 i’ve recently been splitting up my workouts into two, sometimes three times a day. I’m currently training for a powerlifting competition, and I’m also a personal trainer. Because of my schedule training clients, I very often don’t have 2 to 3 hour span‘s to get the full workout in. What I’ve been doing is doing my competition lifts in the morning, or first, and then later in the afternoon or evening doing my accessory lifts. Sometimes, because I often have two competition lifts in a row, I will split this up into three times, with each competition lift having its own session, and then my accessory lifts. As long as I fuel myself properly that day, and sleep is decent, I feel really good doing this and since I only train three sessions a week, I get more frequent exposure to the lifts, because sometimes, I will do one competition lift at night, and come back and do the other one in the morning. Just in general, you feel like you never really stop practicing when you’re doing it more than one time a day, even if it’s not the same lift. The idea of exercising your strength more than once a day is an interesting concept and I’ve definitely seen benefits myself
I used to always look for soreness but now since learning from you guys I make sure I’m getting stronger increasing my weight weekly on my lifts. Thank you for teaching me it has helped a lot in my training
Soreness means you broke the muscle down. It’s universally accepted that soreness is part of growth. This guy is just saying words to have a “different perspective”
Just found you guys in the last couple months. I’ve been weight lifting 30 some years and watched & read about it the whole time to keep learning. Been educated more from you guys then ever in just a couple months 💪🏼👊🏻🙌🏻
Beyond thankful I found this podcast before becoming a trainer. This was me living for the soreness especially as Justin said when targeting a specific muscle group. Finally understanding objective metrics like mobility and strength and implementing those in my training have given me and my clients incredible results. Thanks for the all the great information you guys put out, keep it up!
I think we need to distinguish between muscle soreness and joint / tendon soreness. My best gains have always happened when I get muscle soreness after the workout a couple days later. It’s also an indicator to me that I’m getting in quality hard work. As long as I give myself enough days of rest / recovery before the next workout, I’m good to go 💪
I used to think working out was easy, just pick weights up and put them down, but then I found TH-cam and discovered there is a lot more to it. “What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.”-Dark. However, this is one of the only channels that takes us closer to knowing more about that “ocean.”
Finding y’all has been so great for me. Listen every day almost through my first program seeing RESULTS abut I never doubted it. Need symmetry next !! 💗
Knowledge is power! I like that you guys explain things from all perspectives!!!! This helps people on their journey get results! I am happy to hear it’s ok not to be sore. I’m on phase III anabolic and kept thinking in the back of head….I was doing something wrong!!
Quah 3: this is why I love your guys advice for not really doing extreme cardio because I'm on vacation this week in Orlando and never do extreme cardio and have been sweating like crazy and going to amusement parks but also eating a little worse so it is amazing how it is balancing itself out and I'm not going to really gain any body fat over the week
Morning mind pump brothers! I have to really check my ego when do Anabolic! I want to do more to be sore, but listening to you guys keeps me from hurting myself. Another great start to the day listening to you. Have a blessed day 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼
🤩 I found your channel about a week ago and it’s a life changer . I will be 50 years old this coming September. I got is the best shape of my life over the Covid times but fell off the wagon a few month ago and now started to regain but this info is so great as I was over training for my age and body type for the past years . Very helpful Chanel 🤩
Hey Guys, just want to say thank you for the great content. I've been watching you guys consistently now for almost 2 months and I've learned so much. My diet is improving and my workouts are better. The content is high quality plus both educational and entertaining! Looking forward to the future. Thanks guys!
It took me too long to realise you guys do more than just fitness etc. love the podcasts. You guys talk about some really interesting things. Fan from New Zealand
After schoolwork has gotten the better of my time management the past few months, I’m getting back into exercising with MAPS Anabolic. Looking to do MAPS Symmetry next to fix some longstanding symmetry issues I’ve, fantastic idea for a program,
My brother in laws favorite movie was Top Gun. And he gets told all the time he looks like Tom Cruise. He also named his son Maverick. I first started listening to y'all because another TH-camr ( MissFitandNerdy ) said she really liked your podcast and that you had great fitness information. That was a few years ago but thats how I found this awesome podcast then TH-cam channel.
On the topic of soreness: it wasn’t till proper programming from you guys that i was putting pounds on the bar on my squats versus when i was doing legs day to the point that i couldn’t even sit on the toilet seat the next day and wondering why I wasn’t getting stronger (we’ve all been there, don’t lie). More is not better; better is better.
Great advise. It's crazy how many people believe the only way to determine if you've had a good workout is by the level of soreness experienced afterwards.
I could sure use the help, lol. Love the program! I am rarely sore. Top Gun....did you notice that Penny was THE Penny Benjamin? She was the Admiral's daughter that was mentioned in the first Top Gun when Maverick was getting chewed out for the flyby.
I used to like feeling sore. No pain no gain mentality. I feel I accomplished something after training or work out. Now getting older. It's a different story
This channel is straight fire & you guys are killing it, I only just came across your content last night by coincidence when searching into gut health and have since binge watched several whole episodes. Liked, subscribed, notifications on 😜
This is exactly what happened to me. In the beginning I tried to do everything right. I don’t believe I trained too much, I was doing full body 3 days a week. But I progressed so much with minimal soreness. Then my motivation and energy took a dive and even though I was still going to the gym my effectiveness was down. I lost my performance while retaining my physique. But now I struggle with the mental game of “I used to incline press 85lb dumbbells now I can only do 70’s). It’s tough, same thing with squats. I was doing sets of 315 but now doing sets of 225 has me sore as he** the next few days.
YES! hormones being a huge part of your well-being - I want to scream that to the heavens! I became imbalanced after my last pellet injection and I thought I was going crazy, severe anxiety, sadness etc. It was so bad I never want to go there again. So nervous about my next injection.
I am in week 2 of MAPS Aesthetic now and am really enjoying the switch from single body part to full body training 3 times per week. I had soreness after the first week, because of my lack of squatting, I preferred the leg press over squatting, but you guys convinced me otherwise, thanks for that, trying to build big legs over here in the Netherlands in my old skool garage gym.
“If you want to” is all I have to say and my eight year old, where ever he is, will finish with “pump your body and expand your mind, there’s only one place to go… Mind Pump Mind Pump”. Love the show, the informative conversations, the content and the studies! Been listening for 4 years now and it keeps getting better and better! Thank you! #bestpodcastoutthere
You guys sre great, thanks for all of the awesome content! You've really helped me up my game and push myself through plateaus I'd been stuck at for years.
Whenever I’m blasting my biceps, and I’m rocking a set of full natty 14 inchers (left 14.25) I feel real sore. Still growing like crazy. And the ladies love it, obviously. Before the haters roll in I’ve never touched anything
I used to be soo jazzed when I got sore after a workout and think it was the best. I would chase after it. Now if I get sore - I get super bummed. I know that means I’ll likely not want do so my workout the next day(s) after. So instead of maybe getting three workouts in during the week I might now only get one in. Also top gun- I don’t think my husband has ever been excited for anything as much as he was for seeing this new movie lol we listened to the soundtrack on the way to see the movie 🤓 I’d bet the influence of the first movie was over 500% increase in recruitment - I was only 3 when it came out and the influence on my generation was still super high when I was in ROTC and my husband joined the marines in the early 2000s.
Finding this podcast has given me a spark to workout, get fit, and pay more attention and care to my health more than anything has before. The free resources on the MPM website have been consistnently open on my laptop for 2 months now; ever since I came across MP. I'm discovering a love for fitness and health that I didn't know I had, even with being an athlete for 75% of my life. I'm stoked as fuck for this journey and looking forward to grabbing MAPS Anabolic after I learn more about my body, my nutrition, and proper form for movments/lifts. Thank you for what you do guys.
I’ve been listening for a while, and just realized I wasn’t subscribed. I love the show and utilize a lot of the information you guys give. I’m going through courses now to become a certified health coach & personal trainer. The only down side is sometimes the new & updated information out isn’t the same as what’s in the books so answering questions on the tests I have to ask myself, “do they want the right answer or the book answer?”
Workouts can suck less with time under tension, full range of motion, and mixing in supersets that are explosive high intensity with slow low intensity.
Rocky 4 is one of my favorite movies of all time I still exercise to the soundtrack to this day and it’s what 2022 now. If my son doesn’t love that movie I will be legitimately disappointed.
Perfect timing on soreness….just changed up my intensity and I’m just a tad bit sore but not super painful. Confirmed I think I’m doing things right !!!
Damn straight it makes a huge difference to watch movies and get hyped about shit…I started lifting weights after watching Linda Hamilton do Chin Ups in Terminator 2! 💪🏻💪🏻
You guys need to reach out to Tia Clair Toomey about being a guest on the show. In her recent videos on her youtube channel she has been using Sal's voice over when he is describing the man who enjoys the the journey vs. the destination. She would be an awesome athlete to interview.
I really need to work on taking it easier in the gym, I like to to push myself and go hard but have been dealing with loads of small injuries and chronic pain even though I’m only 20, I feel like a grandma sometimes. Thanks for repeating this message all the time maybe I’ll get it into my head one day 🙄😅 I always try on taking it easy but I guess I still push too hard haha I just love the gym :) Appreciate all the content!
Hey guys, I submitted a question similar to the explosive one about training for Highland games before! I would love your feedback on that!! I'm a new trainer, long time fan, great episode as always
Boom! These are the answers I'm looking for. I'm 40 years old, I was 280 at 36y/o made it to 216, size 40 to size 34. Back to a size 36 and 230 now, and haven't changed my routine. Very strict routine of HIIT 5 days a week over lunch, in a fasted state. I've been doing this for 4 years now. I need a change. I need to lose fat, and gain muscle and would love to see the 190's. I'm hoping I find the answers here. I'm not sure what MAPS program to use. Any suggestions?
I never look for soreness as a gauge of how hard I work out. The only time I get sore is when I don't get to listen to the podcast in the first 24hrs after it drops.
Hello , love you guys on this show! Different type of motivation and love the dedication you guys give to y’all’s audience? So I’ve never had a trainer, more so tagged along with some bodybody builders when I was on deployment, they taught me some basics.. 8-12 rep range, move up on weight once you get past 12 type ? But this was back in 2016, I saw some what of a change in my body, I was about 25% body fat & got to like a 19% so long story short, had a kid, depression, & went through hell for about 4 years, gained weight & then last year I lost of bunch of weight but I was skinny fat I was taking those weight loss pills, but since I started listening to you guys I paid attention how it only makes your metabolism weaker so I’ve been trying to reverse diet & I feel like I’m gaining a bunch of weight, but my question is I can’t see my muscle definition at all I Know I’m strong but I have so much fat, & I am in a slight calorie deficit? So are my workouts the ones that I need to change? Still doing the 8-12 rep range, I go to the gym about 4-6 days a week, & I recently stopped doing cardio because I wasn’t seeing any results & I would feel exhausted more than 12 hours after cardio? & I feel like super heavy, I am eating more protein, trying to stay away from processed foods the most I can I just wanna see a change in my body, I’m getting a litte frustrated
I've never understood people who equate lots soreness as growth or a good workout. For me training has always been about longevity and consistency, which would mean training smart.
So I'd considered myself as a beginner lifter... 2 years of ok consistency... I usually do 4 day splits Chest arms day 8 sets of bench @ 180 lbs x 10 reps 8 sets of alt dB curls @25 lbs x 12 reps 8 sets of decline bench @ 180lbs x 10 reps 8 sets of sitting incline dB curl @ 12lbs x 10 reps Doing this 1xs a week as a part of my 4 day split does make me sore....is this over training?
I love you guys soooo much!! You guys inspired me to be a trainer and to be one of the good ones who actually help people instead of hurting them!! My dad died a year ago from obesity related illnesses and I want to focus on helping those like my dad fix things before it’s too late so others don’t have to lose a parent before their time! Thank you!!!!
Sorry for your loss. My Dad died in November of a heart attack aged 63, he weighed approx 420lbs. Ive had my own struggles with obesity but I've been eating healthy and hitting the gym ever since and lost about 30lbs with another 30lbs to go.
Could you guys to one on discusing deeper about how to train efociant and efectivly, whatto look for, how to know befor u go to far, if theres somthing u can feel or tell while working out befor u go to far ect..
Man I have been training for over a year now and seeing very poor growth. I currently weigh around 64-65 kg and all I wish is to be bigger, stronger and more healthy. I bench 40kg and last year I was doing 30kg, I squat about 30kg now also practically no change from last year. I also have issues with digestion which affects my eczema and eating right is difficult for me (nothing I eat digests). I’m also a vegetarian/ vegan as I have recently cut out dairy. I need help. Also I had no idea soreness was an indication of overtraining I always thought the more the merrier.
I think a point to hit home which obviously you guys dont need advice but for the first quah people need to realize your muscles do not know how much you're actually lifting and that full range of motion can make it seem like your lifting more weight
i very rarely get sore anymore unless i start doing a new variation of something. Mostly all i feel after workouts is that nice full and heavy feeling in my muscles from the blood in there
![How to Get a Developer Job - Even in This Economy [Full Course]](/img/n.gif)
“Talk to me goose!” Fatherhood, health, programming, quahs, count me in! Keep up the good work fellas 💪🏽
I'll never forget all I wanted to do when I was a kid was to be a pilot after watching Top Gun. So instead I join the Marine Corps and became a Ground Pounder. Now after watching Top Gun again all I want to do is be a pilot again at 46 lol
😂
The only real impact the movie had on me was the haircut. I've had a flat-top since it came out.
Love the podcast and the videos. I'm a 51 year old personal trainer who is always looking to get better and you guys have been a great help. Keep up the good work!
I’m always a fan of these old school training discussions on the podcast. It’s helpful to get away from what’s trendy at the moment and move back to the basics of what works.
Yes love focusing on performance and not how sore I feel or even how much I sweat. So glad I found you guys!

One of the best episodes this month so far! NOICE
It took me too long to realise you guys do more than just fitness etc. love the podcasts. You guys talk about some really interesting things. Fan from New Zealand
Wouldn't you know...the crew talks Top Gun and Sal shows off his top guns. 💪#TopGunsInTheIndustry
I’ve needed to hear everything in these past few weeks of episodes. As a long time listener, as you hear all the day, fucking thank you!
After schoolwork has gotten the better of my time management the past few months, I’m getting back into exercising with MAPS Anabolic. Looking to do MAPS Symmetry next to fix some longstanding symmetry issues I’ve, fantastic idea for a program,
All time skinny fat / hard gainer / endurance runner here turning things around thanks to this podcast!
My brother in laws favorite movie was Top Gun. And he gets told all the time he looks like Tom Cruise. He also named his son Maverick.
I first started listening to y'all because another TH-camr ( MissFitandNerdy ) said she really liked your podcast and that you had great fitness information. That was a few years ago but thats how I found this awesome podcast then TH-cam channel.

Range of motion is king… I’m learning that all over again after recovering from a nasty bike accident that messed up my shoulder pretty bad!…
Great advise. It's crazy how many people believe the only way to determine if you've had a good workout is by the level of soreness experienced afterwards.
My favorite thing to listen to while working out.. thank you for all the knowledge
Same for me!
I could sure use the help, lol. Love the program! I am rarely sore.
Top Gun....did you notice that Penny was THE Penny Benjamin? She was the Admiral's daughter that was mentioned in the first Top Gun when Maverick was getting chewed out for the flyby.
Aww love that special moment with kids ❤️
Omg that totally answered my question!!!!! About going heavier or focusing on my depth!!
I have no kids, only a stepdaughter that I raised for 12 years from my last marriage….but that story about Sal’s kids and the post it notes was great.
WARRIOIRS!!!
I used to like feeling sore. No pain no gain mentality. I feel I accomplished something after training or work out. Now getting older. It's a different story

You should buy one of their programs too. Its absolutely insane how much they change your body
Great podcast! The maps symmetry program sounds awesome. Thanks for the content!

Another day another round of the 🔥. Top gun was cool, and so is Maverick but for me it was all about "Days of Thunder". Keep dropping this fire guys.

I always aim to get sore. Let's see what I can learn form this podcast

I’ve been listening for a while, and just realized I wasn’t subscribed. I love the show and utilize a lot of the information you guys give. I’m going through courses now to become a certified health coach & personal trainer. The only down side is sometimes the new & updated information out isn’t the same as what’s in the books so answering questions on the tests I have to ask myself, “do they want the right answer or the book answer?”
Workouts can suck less with time under tension, full range of motion, and mixing in supersets that are explosive high intensity with slow low intensity.
Totally agree with the double split part !
MAPS trial sounds like a good idea!
don't forget HD ota radio. you can get more than one station in one frequency and it's in HD. sounds better than any streaming
Ever since I discovered this podcast,legit saved my life.you guys doing god’s worj
Rocky 4 is one of my favorite movies of all time I still exercise to the soundtrack to this day and it’s what 2022 now. If my son doesn’t love that movie I will be legitimately disappointed.
Perfect timing on soreness….just changed up my intensity and I’m just a tad bit sore but not super painful. Confirmed I think I’m doing things right !!!
Great show again lads keep up the great work
Damn straight it makes a huge difference to watch movies and get hyped about shit…I started lifting weights after watching Linda Hamilton do Chin Ups in Terminator 2! 💪🏻💪🏻
I don't agree
soreness is good..but you have to get a good nutrition and rest !
if its too sore take a day off for recovery
You guys need to reach out to Tia Clair Toomey about being a guest on the show. In her recent videos on her youtube channel she has been using Sal's voice over when he is describing the man who enjoys the the journey vs. the destination. She would be an awesome athlete to interview.
I really need to work on taking it easier in the gym, I like to to push myself and go hard but have been dealing with loads of small injuries and chronic pain even though I’m only 20, I feel like a grandma sometimes. Thanks for repeating this message all the time maybe I’ll get it into my head one day 🙄😅 I always try on taking it easy but I guess I still push too hard haha I just love the gym :) Appreciate all the content!
Hey guys, I submitted a question similar to the explosive one about training for Highland games before! I would love your feedback on that!! I'm a new trainer, long time fan, great episode as always
Love this podcast. Heres my comment within 24 hours
Wicked sounding new program
Boom! These are the answers I'm looking for. I'm 40 years old, I was 280 at 36y/o made it to 216, size 40 to size 34. Back to a size 36 and 230 now, and haven't changed my routine. Very strict routine of HIIT 5 days a week over lunch, in a fasted state. I've been doing this for 4 years now. I need a change. I need to lose fat, and gain muscle and would love to see the 190's. I'm hoping I find the answers here. I'm not sure what MAPS program to use. Any suggestions?
I never look for soreness as a gauge of how hard I work out. The only time I get sore is when I don't get to listen to the podcast in the first 24hrs after it drops.
Awesome ep! Thanks for the laughs and the info

Hello , love you guys on this show! Different type of motivation and love the dedication you guys give to y’all’s audience?
So I’ve never had a trainer, more so tagged along with some bodybody builders when I was on deployment, they taught me some basics.. 8-12 rep range, move up on weight once you get past 12 type ? But this was back in 2016, I saw some what of a change in my body, I was about 25% body fat & got to like a 19% so long story short, had a kid, depression, & went through hell for about 4 years, gained weight & then last year I lost of bunch of weight but I was skinny fat I was taking those weight loss pills, but since I started listening to you guys I paid attention how it only makes your metabolism weaker so I’ve been trying to reverse diet & I feel like I’m gaining a bunch of weight, but my question is I can’t see my muscle definition at all I Know I’m strong but I have so much fat, & I am in a slight calorie deficit? So are my workouts the ones that I need to change? Still doing the 8-12 rep range, I go to the gym about 4-6 days a week, & I recently stopped doing cardio because I wasn’t seeing any results & I would feel exhausted more than 12 hours after cardio?
& I feel like super heavy, I am eating more protein, trying to stay away from processed foods the most I can
I just wanna see a change in my body, I’m getting a litte frustrated
I really dug the answers to the last question. I'm curious, though, if when you guys refer to isometrics that includes overcoming isometrics.
I've never understood people who equate lots soreness as growth or a good workout. For me training has always been about longevity and consistency, which would mean training smart.
So I'd considered myself as a beginner lifter... 2 years of ok consistency...
I usually do 4 day splits
Chest arms day
8 sets of bench @ 180 lbs x 10 reps
8 sets of alt dB curls @25 lbs x 12 reps
8 sets of decline bench @ 180lbs x 10 reps
8 sets of sitting incline dB curl @ 12lbs x 10 reps
Doing this 1xs a week as a part of my 4 day split does make me sore....is this over training?
Did you guys decide not to do the Maps Symmetry giveaway? I haven't seen anything in the community page about it.
I love you guys soooo much!! You guys inspired me to be a trainer and to be one of the good ones who actually help people instead of hurting them!! My dad died a year ago from obesity related illnesses and I want to focus on helping those like my dad fix things before it’s too late so others don’t have to lose a parent before their time! Thank you!!!!
Sorry for your loss. My Dad died in November of a heart attack aged 63, he weighed approx 420lbs. Ive had my own struggles with obesity but I've been eating healthy and hitting the gym ever since and lost about 30lbs with another 30lbs to go.
Great show!
Could you guys to one on discusing deeper about how to train efociant and efectivly, whatto look for, how to know befor u go to far, if theres somthing u can feel or tell while working out befor u go to far ect..
My favorite out side of weights and martial arts would be walking or youga
I remember when I stopped getting sore and was Shock on why I wasn't getting sore. Every now and then when I get sore I'm like ohhh what a treat 🤣
Just in time for cardio!
Man I have been training for over a year now and seeing very poor growth. I currently weigh around 64-65 kg and all I wish is to be bigger, stronger and more healthy. I bench 40kg and last year I was doing 30kg, I squat about 30kg now also practically no change from last year. I also have issues with digestion which affects my eczema and eating right is difficult for me (nothing I eat digests). I’m also a vegetarian/ vegan as I have recently cut out dairy. I need help.
Also I had no idea soreness was an indication of overtraining I always thought the more the merrier.
You need protein
Love you guys
Think about when you don’t have good service to and your phone won’t load music you can almost always still get a radio station
Awesome podcast new follower! 🙏🙏
I really love you guys genuinely. Drunk again by the way lol
I think a point to hit home which obviously you guys dont need advice but for the first quah people need to realize your muscles do not know how much you're actually lifting and that full range of motion can make it seem like your lifting more weight
i very rarely get sore anymore unless i start doing a new variation of something. Mostly all i feel after workouts is that nice full and heavy feeling in my muscles from the blood in there
mind pump yeah dude!!!
I've read that Acetyl L-Carnitine is better for cognitive function but not so much for muscle. Is that incorrect?
Great content.
