Hi, I am from Malaysia and I only started lifting like 3 months ago. I would say that I am binge-watching with your episodes. I am so happy that I was able to came across your channel. And I can say that I am in the right path on my fitness journey. The best things I learned from you guys that I am applying in my life and seeing results is not going on restricting diet, rather increased my calories first and I can say that my metabolism went great, not over exercising and not overdoing cardio and importance of sleep. I am also no longer abscessed with weigh that I was used to. More power to your shows and I hope more people get to watch you guys so everyone will have a correct approach to fitness. Fitness is not a destination, it is a process and I love the process
Been getting a lot of info with all these videos that you guys release!!! I’m 19 yrs old trying to make it as a performance trainer and trying to get as much programs as I can so I can learn from it!!! I’m a walking sponge, I absorb every info put in front of me. I currently work a full time job and all I listen to for 8hrs is all your videos!! It’s been a routine for me now and if there’s anything I’m addicted to, its your guys’ videos. The free information you guys put out is unmatched, thank you for making youtube great!
Love the show guys! Been working on my physique as well as getting sober after years of battling alcoholism. Your show has helped me put a body to my progress physically and mentally. Keep it goin! 🤙
You guys are amazing. Im so excited for Symmetry. I’ve been working in a factory for years doing the same movements 425+ times a night and I’ve been trying my ass off to mix in prime and prime pro with anabolic and performance to build some muscle while fixing all of the imbalances and strain put on my body by my only means of putting food on the table for my family. I’ve slowly been strengthening weak points and loosening up tight spots, but the nature of my work means I’m always at a regression on one side or another whether through compensation during trying to fix and address everything or the inevitable parts of my job that force me to move a specific way with one side of my body because it’s impossible to alternate. Im thankful for everything MAPS and mind pump has done for my body and my longevity, but I believe Symmetry is what will truly help me the most when trying to build muscle and regain my long lost physique without adding to already nagging and potential future injuries. Just hope to be considered. Thanks again guys
so lucky to have found you guys at a younger age before any more damage was done to my body and my mind. You guys put out so much good info out there that listening has become a morning ritual + sharing that info with my teammates has been fun. Never stop the grind of good will 🤙
I just saw your new video pop up! Very excited about your new program. I’ve almost finished anabolic and I am in the best shape ever in my life and it’s taken 33 years lol! Thank you guys for sharing and caring!
Hands down, y’all are the best health and fitness channel out there. You’ve helped me challenge old beliefs I’ve hung onto for years that are STILL circulating throughout the industry, and you’ve helped me replace those false beliefs with factual, simple, effective ones that are yielding great results. Mahalo (thank you) from Hawaii 🤙🏾
OMG! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW PROGRAM!!!! My fiance & I have been listening to the show for about 2 years & we absolutely love you guys & are so thankful for everything you guys do for the fitness industry. We both have learned so much & I incorporate everything into my personal training biz!
I’ve been listening to you guys for about two years and you’ve COMPLETELY changed my life. You guys have helped me become so much more confident in and out of the gym. Consistently listening to your podcast reminds me that I must consistently take care of myself both body and soul. I appreciate you all so much!! ❤️
God it’s like y’all are reading my MIND! This is exactly what I’ve been prioritizing for the past couple months. In high school and middle school I was a great athlete, but since then my athleticism has fallen off of a cliff. I thought that was just the price to pay for forgoing sports for weightlifting. Well all I did was reinforce my bad recruitment patterns. I started feeling all kinds of pain all over my body and constantly plateaued. (Training with personal trainers btw) I had never even HEARD of mobility until I found pump. I’m 27 now and I am so thrilled that there’s a program for fixing dysfunction. Really just thrilled
@@nazinas21 for sure. I think theoretically, and I’m not an expert to be fair, that focusing on your imbalances for a long stretch of time will only make adding new and more difficult compound lift exercises easier in the future, better mechanics, less pain. And if you’re overweight then I would bet that ANY kind of exercise would only be beneficial. I personally need to lose about 20lbs as well and I’m going to try doing the whole Symmetry program as one means of losing weight. I hope you try it too. And if you do then good luck. 👍
@@chirbin0nidhogg623 Awesome! Yea I’m going for 30 pounds. I know they mentioned you should be in a calorie surplus for this workout. So idk how to approach this program. I just bought it as wel.
Perfect timing as always! Could use these tips to reconstruct my body post powerlifting comp, I just qualified for nationals! Big S/O to you guys for all the tips!
I’m a soon to be first time Dad, Sal gave me some awesome advice about becoming a Father. These guys aren’t just podcasting, they’re truly trying to give value and help to their audience in any way. Thank you guys so much!
Wowzers!! MAPS SYMMETRY!! 🙌🏽🔥🔥 Just when you thought, man they are killing it, they’re business is solid and in a good place then BOOM you drop this!!! 🫣🤌🏽 Leveling up again!! I appreciate you guys for always pushing yourselves not only for your personal goals and self, but to our the customers/clients benefit as well. Thank you for setting life examples for us who pay attention to it all.
newbie 50 and loving all the new tricks to get my body in the right shape. Had my diet in right order but my workouts lacked. You guys have given me a new look to how to work on overall body and address parts that need to strengthen in order to feel my best
This hits home on so many levels. In high school in the 80s, typing was not mandatory so I never took it. I was a single finger pecker (insert your own joke here) and a little over a year ago I decided to learn how to properly type. I got decent at it but I realized that the slower I go, the less mistakes I make. Fast forward to a few months ago when I started my fitness journey at the age of 55. I was so weak that I could not do a good form pushup on my knees. I set 3 goals for myself; lose weight, do 15 pushups, and do one pull up. I got down to my goal weight, I've done 21 real nips to ground, good form, on my toes push ups and I'm still working on my pull up. I'm doing assisted pull ups, inverted rows, eccentric pullups and I will now incorporate isometrics to help out. All of y'all's advice has been a blessing to me. Keep giving that sound common sense advice. We appreciate you guys.
this channel is so underrated. literally the only show i watch or listen to every day. it doesn’t even matter what they talk about it always get interesting.
Suuuuuch a amazing show!! Been following these guys for about 2 years and I almost never miss an episode. Probably the main thing I listen to on my Spotify! Keep it the great work fellas!!
This is so awesome! Such a useful program? I've been stuck for so long, and I've noticed a terrible imbalance in my hips and legs which is causing some back issues. I feel like this program would be such a good way to refresh and restart :)
I listen to you guys daily. While working out, eating my lunch and when in bed as I am right now. I’ve learned so much and you all keeps me coming back for more. Thank you all for your knowledge
Thanks guys, o had a shocking day at work today, when I'm listening to you it's like hanging out with my friends. Its lifted my mood like nothing else. Thanks guys
Leaning towards buying this tonight. I've been dealing with major Left/Right imbalances and a small degree of scoliosis for years, hoping this program along with my mobility routine will help set me up for later in life.
Hey guys! I just want to thank you for all the great things you do and all the good stuff you share with us. I'm a Dominican boy who finally found his path in life helping people and you all have been a great support and source of knowledge to me. Tante grazie!!!
Can't wait to try this program out. After running MAPS Anabolic, I ran MAPS Strong and loved the results. My overhead press and deadlift increased significantly, and my upper back development was insane. Love your programming.
I recently started listening to you guys. I think the best for me is to have people like you guys around me so I can debate different point of views and talk about performances in sports.
I got so excited when I got the email that this program is available! I had a inguinal hernia repair in 2016 and it has had a devastating effect on my movement patterns. My squats and deadlifts haven’t felt right since and I’ve been trying to do a lot of unilateral and balance work to remedy it. It’s gotten better but my working weight has dropped significantly and it takes so much longer to add weight to my lifts.
I was introduced to the show by my brother-in-law and I’ve been hooked for 5 months now (staying current and binging old episodes.) I’m in phase 3 of Anabolic and loving it. I also purchased performance and aesthetic to run one after the other. I can tell I favor my right side while sitting and standing and I have tightness and soreness in my right hip flexor and my right flute. I used to work as a garbage man and last year I was promoted to supervisor. My body has definitely been affected negatively from my years throwing garbage and now as a supervisor I’m either stuck in a vehicle or in an office chair. I feel as if I’ve gone from one compromising situation to another. MAPS Symmetry would make all the difference in the world to me. Thanks for everything you guys do and keep up the good work!
Maps symmetry sounds like you made it specifically for me. If I didn’t just find out this morning I have a baby on the way, I’d be buying that program. I’ll stick to MAPS anabolic for the meantime. Freaking love this show. It’s changed my fitness journey. The gains I’ve seen from Implementing what I’ve learned from your show since February are literally night and day. Keep up the grind boys, we greatly appreciate it!!
Love this podcast, been watching episodes every day at work. Really enjoy listing for ways to improve my technique and lifestyle. I recently started intermittent fasting a year ago January, lost 40lbs then plateaued around September of last year. I started working out, mostly weight lifting and have shed another 35lbs since then. I was 300lbs and now I am down to 215lbs, I have gained so much from this process and from listening to this podcast!
Been working on balancing for years to no avail. Multiple chiropractors, trainer advice. I work at a gym and still can’t get training just right. Been watching you guys for a good time and y’all have some of the best content!! Looking into the new program… hopefully will see results to get past this roadblock in my training :D keep up the quality!
Enjoyed the discussion. I've been working on getting some semblance of symmetry back after some medical issues. Yall nailed it and how it can negatively effect you.
Guys, GUYS, GUUUUYYYSSSS, you are saving my life here! I'm doing anabolic right now and I am noticing that half of me is so much weaker than the other half ... I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSS xxxxxxx
Been following your programs for four years now and not to be cocky by I’m far more advanced with lifting then everyone around me. The best programs ever. Recorded over 18lbs of muscle growth over four years
Awesome info! I had recently noticed that I felt more of my strength in the squat coming from my right side, so I actually started doing unilateral strength training. I’ve been making the mistake of using the weight my strong side lifts, so I’ll definitely switch it up after hearing this episode! Thank you
I'm living in Dubai and Im very happy learning from you guys constantly. thank you . Im 54 years old and Im very healthy and tone than ever because I train and i eat clean and kind of watch my macros. love you guys cuz you have experience , knowledge and you are honest. You guys understand bio mechanics and how to talk to humans.
Guys are smashing it, good luck with the launch, can't wait to give it a go and have 4 weeks left of my cut the reverse dieting book couldn't have arrived at a better time.
Excellent show as always. Currently I have MAPS Anabolic, Prime and the Sexy Athlete bundle. I used to lift regularly and would often follow a 5x5 or more strength gaining programs while also trying to fight weight fluctuations. In a year I would go anywhere from 215-250. Because of life and injuries mostly to the lower back and shoulders I have cut down on my workouts/not going to the gym as a normal routine. Right now I am hovering around 270-280 at 33% body fat. From my dieting practices, often going low calorie, I can only consume about 2200 calories for maintenance and I'm trying to reverse diet to get the calories up so its easier to maintain a certain weight. With the amount of body fat (weight) I need to lose I'm trying to figure out how to go about losing weight so I can keep it off. Right now I'm diet wise I need to continue to try to at least eat at maintenance while slowly increasing my calories. Workout wise start back up with Anabolic supplementing Prime on trigger session days to help get form back. Once I run that I am looking at going into the symmetry program, followed by performance, back to symmetry, and then run Aesthetic. Would love to hear if I'm on track or if I should change anything?
I’m laughing at myself because I shouldn’t be buying this program right now, but after listening to the intro I’m so excited to try it I’ll have no choice! Thank you guys for all that you do and then some! You’ve inspired me to become a PT and I’ve been successfully running my own business for a few months now! I don’t know what I would do without you guys
Thanks for another great show. Symmetry sounds like a great program for us older folks coming back to the gym. After all the yesrs of minor injuries, tweaks, and such, we have many imbalances and poor accommodating movement patterns. Great job!
This might be my favourite episode ever!! I’m such a stickler for symmetry and I use unilateral training (beginning with the weaker side) with all my clients…it’s great to hear I’m doing it right! Love LOVE the bit on isometrics! I will definitely have to use more of these!!
Hey guys thank you for your wisdom and knowledge! I have major imbalances in different parts of my body that are visible due to previous injuries and I have not been able to fix it. However, i'm going to take your advice and start doing only unilateral and isometric movements. I'm going to slow down my pace and focus on mirroring both sides. As simple as this advice is I do agree that a lot of people don't practice this unless their bodybuilders and/or competing. I'm going to stick with this method to correct my imbalances until I see some major improvements. Thanks again for the advice. Peace and blessings to you guys!❤🙏🏾💪🏾
I can't wait to get my hands on this program and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Unilateral training is something I found early on by actually watching a episode of Nitro Circus with Travis Pastrana. He was showing off his gym and a simple pulley push-up rig that he had. he talked about how he could do more push-ups on this pulley system then some of his cousins friends that were all D1 football players. After that I always tried to make sure that I was good on both sides. But have always struggled with programming a complete workout focused on it. I recently jacked up my knee and I've caught myself as I go to squat at work or working out my hip shifting to put more weight on my strong knee and it has drove me nuts. I also just recently started Performance. not knowing how to change your programming I've just lowered weight so I still had something structured to follow.
Love the show and everything fitness and lifestyle that you all preach - nothing but facts! About a month a guy one of your pods focused on size vs strength, and Adam asked the question "If you could only prescribe two programs for a full year for size and for strength, what would that look like?" I decided to dedicate the next year trying out Adam's recommended size "program" - Aesthetic + Performance for a round. Excited to get going again! But now, man, Symmetry seems like it is going to be awesome. Keep up the great content, fellas!
Found the podcast because of a TikTok video during the pandemic and have absolute loved it! I always thought going to 90 degrees on a squat meant perfect form but after listening to you guys for almost 2 years I have increased my range of motion in all my lifts! I feel absolutely amazing! Thanks for the fantastic information you guys put out! Super excited to further increase my performance through this program 😎
I’m 40 years old, have been training for 20+ years but feel like I need a program like yours to complement/advance what I’ve been doing. This new program seems perfect, because as I get older the symmetry portion of this could really balance out my weaknesses. Thank you for all you do!! I watch you guys constantly!
Love all the content and programs ! Part of the reason I pulled the trigger on being a personal trainer was because of yall. Prime and Prime Pro for myself and my clients has been awesome. Not alot of people talk about fitness and overall health with the same level of depth and wisdom you guys do, it is greatly appreciated.
I may be a new viewer, but as a 28 year old that never focused on mobility and 'the bigger picture' of my health, this show is a breath of fresh air. Great conversations with lots of great advice! I wish 18 year old me reading bodybuilding articles would've stumbled across this show!
Great episode. My profession (Flooring) has me hunched over on my knees for 6-9 hrs a day, causing my mobility suffer and I've developed a few imbalances. Been following you guys for about 2 years trying to gain knowledge on this particular topic. No previous Maps experience.
Loved the podcast! Perfect balance of functional ability and aesthetics. It's so easy to keep doing things that we're good at, and neglect the ones we're not. Another motivation to get started into practicing unilateral movements! Thanks a bunch you guys for pushing the best information and content for us!
I’ve been binge watching your episodes for the past 6months! I’ve even got my wife watching which says a lot about you all and the content you create! I am a 35 years old Dad of twin boys and have struggled to maintain a healthy life. Until I found MindPump!! You all literally saved my life! I was pre-diabetic, obese and was losing hope. I found you all, threw the scale, started weight training and a miracle happened! Pants size went from 35 to 32 and I more muscular than I’ve ever been! Thank you for all you do! Seriously changing lives!
I’ve done MAPS split and have been listening to these guys for 2 years. I have seen nothing but results. I actually use a lot of the information from this podcast and pass it on to my clients. If you are in a plateau or need specific information this podcast is the answer.
Wish I had found you guys before I started weight lifting 5 years ago. Learnt so much in afew weeks watching mindpump then 5 years of watching random lifting channels. If only I knew then what I know now.
Thank you for your raw truths and the entertainment!! 6 months into my fitness journey and you guys are exactly what I needed for learning and growing!!
Love this show man! I’ve been waiting for something like symmetry! Look good and move well! Been working out for 4 years and just started seeing real results this year. It’s a lifelong pursuit
Looooooove Mind Pump!!! Found you guys during Covid. I have learned more in these past few years from your podcast and videos, than I have in my entire years of fitness! Definitely will incorporate isometric training in my life. My health IS my wealth... Thank you guys for sharing the wealth!🥰
How can you not like the idea behind the MAPS program?!? Symmetry is so much more than just looking good, it dives deep and helps you improve those weak areas and create an amazing base to build off of. Thank you sharing guys!
Love what you guys are doing. As a retired rugby player, I have some nagging injuries that have really made getting back into lifting a challenge. I was chasing a pump and reps while sacrificing technique too which didn’t help. I think this program could really help me. I plan on picking it up later this week when I’m paid. Thanks guys!!
My right shoulder has always been higher than my left one, and it’s so frustrating. I’ve tried so many stretches that I’ve found online and even gone to a physical therapist, but nothing has worked. I’m hoping I can win this program to hopefully fix it. I would be even more grateful for you guys. Thanks!
Been lifting since I was 17 ( now I’m 38) but really felt connected and getting serious with increasing strength and gaining muscle the last 2years - guess when I started to listen to this pod cast!?! You guys have changed the game for me and I am always learning new ways to up my training. So much more to learn. Thanks for keeping me educated and motivated 💕 💪
This is just the perfect timing. I noticed a hip shift in my squat last Thursday. This episode already helped me a lot to understand how to approach my imbalances. Thank you!
Ever since I found out about mind pump My clients Have seen amazing Results and Have saw Me grow much more as A Trainer. In college I always used To Train my Friends free of charge with the little information I learned but I knew I had so much more to learn. The hardest part was time! Working part time while being a Full time student is Pretty time consuming . Luckily I found out About the podcast . I remember being in all my classes with AirPods listening to the show every single day all day long. The information & knowledge I’ve gained and passed on is So useful. You guys keep me motivated and I’m glad I chose this career path because of trainers/ coaches like you Guys!
Today’s podcast felt like you guys were talking directly to me. I had a knee injury 10 years ago that seemed so insignificant that I did not seek treatment. I have gotten X-rays since then, but no problem was diagnosed. I accepted years ago that I would no longer perform barbell squats since my knee would pop on every rep. Today I became more conscious of just how much I use my right knee to compensate for the weakness in my left knee. I completely overlooked the possibility of isometric exercises to regain strength and symmetry. I added some to my workout this afternoon, and have a renewed hope that I might be able to perform squats again in the near future.
Omg!! I need the MAPS symmetry! I've had 2 back surgeries and getting back into lifting and having heck of a time training the side where the injury was.
Boys, your work is unapparelled by anyone on the Web. 60 years young, using your advise and programs to transform into the 30 year old man I used to be. Your no nonsense approach and honesty is truly refreshing to us all.
I've hit a hard spot in my journey and I've been having a hard time to want to keep moving toward a healthier lifestyle, but what's been keeping me going is what you guys always say about the real changes being made when you aren't super motivated to change.
Of course I’d love to win mapssymetry but regardless, I can’t even explain how much Mindpump from your podcast to the TH-cam channel has helped me out tremendously!!! I suffered from injury’s issues with gut health and other personal issues and I can honestly say I’m a walking testimony on how much you guys helped me out!! You and your team are truly genuine. And I just want to say thank you!!!! I love you guys!!! Mindpump!!!
Isometrics are really helping me right now gain the mind-muscle connection with my chest and I have noticed more muscle growth in 2 weeks than I ever have before. Plus that Symmetry program looks sweet.
Thank y'all for the knowledge. I'm finally getting back into fitness after a couple of years, ex athlete so I'm thankful for the switch up y'all are bringing with this new program. Keep bringing that heat!!!!!! Peace, Love, and Blessings to all
🙏🏽 Thanks to the crew for another informative and entertaining episode. Much respect for producing additional episodes on these topics and throwing show notes at us as a bonus. Top notch fellas. If you don’t know, then get with it. These guys are the best in the biz 💥!!!
Wow the new program sounds awesome and the reverse dieting ebook is just what I’ve been looking for. I swear it’s so hard to heal a damaged metabolism especially when you are afraid to gain body fat. I pray y’all pick this comment lol
Just recently came across your content about a month or so ago and have been doing the deep dive ever since. I’ve been working out since I was a teen (now in my 40’s) and am consistently amazed at how much I was doing wrong or not doing at all. Thanks for all the knowledge and inspiration.
Your show has helped me get back into working out again. I packed on twelve pounds of muscle back on in a month after taking a year off entirely of weight lifting. (230# a year ago, down to 202# back up to 215#. Lived mostly in a deficit for that year) I have been looking for a program and this symmetry program is incredibly intriguing! Keep doing what you guys are doing, you are helping more people than you know!
🤯 I have partially torn and/or torn labrums in my shoulders. It’s my weak point but I was the typical start with my stronger side and try to match it with the other side. Changing that moving forward!
What’s up guys. I really enjoy the show because you guys all speak from a level of high intelligence and experience. What I like most about it, is how you really simplify the science around health and wellness for the average Joe. Every time I watch the podcast, I leave with some new obtained knowledge and gems. If I am selected for your program, I’ll document my progress and create a TH-cam channel to show others.
I’m currently working on phase two of MAPS Aesthetic, and I am loving it! It is so much fun to see how fast I am progressing. I am changing physically and feeling strong while in my cut. It’d be awesome to do MAPS Symmetry while I’m maintaining in the summer, so I can main-gain and fix my squat plateau. 🤩
45 yr old male here, not "unfit" but about 10kg overweight so want to bring that down to a more reasonable level and get a healthy dad bod. Been listening for about last 6 months (and hammering through interesting looking back episodes), learning a lot about fitness and enjoying the banter you all do as well 😃
Another quality episode! Maybe in the near future you guys could do an episode regarding isometrics. How to correctly utilize it and how to fit in your routine/program and the best isometrics exercise for each body part. More power to the MindPump team!
Great podcast! Perfect as I'm coming out of a hip injury due to an imbalance in my hip symmetry left to right as well as weaker glutes. This program would be perfect! Not currently in a position to purchase it as a working student but taking everything I can from your podcasts... I'm like considering spending $97 not in my budget on this because it's something I've been tryyying to fix but not sure where to go with.
Brilliant episode! I noticed some strenght inbalances between my right and left arm some time ago and I was wondering how to correct this issue. Now I know what I shlould do. Thank you very much for your advices, guys. The new program MAPS Symmetry will be great, I am sure! ❤️

Wowzers!! MAPS SYMMETRY!! 🙌🏽🔥🔥 Just when you thought, man they are killing it, they’re business is solid and in a good place then BOOM you drop this!!! 🫣🤌🏽
Leveling up again!! I appreciate you guys for always pushing yourselves not only for your personal goals and self, but to our the customers/clients benefit as well. Thank you for setting life examples for us who pay attention to it all.
newbie 50 and loving all the new tricks to get my body in the right shape. Had my diet in right order but my workouts lacked. You guys have given me a new look to how to work on overall body and address parts that need to strengthen in order to feel my best
This hits home on so many levels. In high school in the 80s, typing was not mandatory so I never took it. I was a single finger pecker (insert your own joke here) and a little over a year ago I decided to learn how to properly type. I got decent at it but I realized that the slower I go, the less mistakes I make. Fast forward to a few months ago when I started my fitness journey at the age of 55. I was so weak that I could not do a good form pushup on my knees. I set 3 goals for myself; lose weight, do 15 pushups, and do one pull up. I got down to my goal weight, I've done 21 real nips to ground, good form, on my toes push ups and I'm still working on my pull up. I'm doing assisted pull ups, inverted rows, eccentric pullups and I will now incorporate isometrics to help out. All of y'all's advice has been a blessing to me. Keep giving that sound common sense advice. We appreciate you guys.
this channel is so underrated. literally the only show i watch or listen to every day. it doesn’t even matter what they talk about it always get interesting.
Suuuuuch a amazing show!! Been following these guys for about 2 years and I almost never miss an episode. Probably the main thing I listen to on my Spotify! Keep it the great work fellas!!
This is so awesome! Such a useful program? I've been stuck for so long, and I've noticed a terrible imbalance in my hips and legs which is causing some back issues. I feel like this program would be such a good way to refresh and restart :)
I listen to you guys daily. While working out, eating my lunch and when in bed as I am right now. I’ve learned so much and you all keeps me coming back for more. Thank you all for your knowledge
Thanks guys, o had a shocking day at work today, when I'm listening to you it's like hanging out with my friends. Its lifted my mood like nothing else. Thanks guys
Leaning towards buying this tonight. I've been dealing with major Left/Right imbalances and a small degree of scoliosis for years, hoping this program along with my mobility routine will help set me up for later in life.
omg now I am fascinated by maps symetry ... love that Into. I am loving the information, 97$ for the promo is a killer deal! thanks guys
Hey guys!
I just want to thank you for all the great things you do and all the good stuff you share with us. I'm a Dominican boy who finally found his path in life helping people and you all have been a great support and source of knowledge to me.
Tante grazie!!!
Can't wait to try this program out. After running MAPS Anabolic, I ran MAPS Strong and loved the results. My overhead press and deadlift increased significantly, and my upper back development was insane. Love your programming.
I recently started listening to you guys. I think the best for me is to have people like you guys around me so I can debate different point of views and talk about performances in sports.
im really liking these episodes lately
I got so excited when I got the email that this program is available! I had a inguinal hernia repair in 2016 and it has had a devastating effect on my movement patterns. My squats and deadlifts haven’t felt right since and I’ve been trying to do a lot of unilateral and balance work to remedy it. It’s gotten better but my working weight has dropped significantly and it takes so much longer to add weight to my lifts.
I was introduced to the show by my brother-in-law and I’ve been hooked for 5 months now (staying current and binging old episodes.) I’m in phase 3 of Anabolic and loving it. I also purchased performance and aesthetic to run one after the other. I can tell I favor my right side while sitting and standing and I have tightness and soreness in my right hip flexor and my right flute. I used to work as a garbage man and last year I was promoted to supervisor. My body has definitely been affected negatively from my years throwing garbage and now as a supervisor I’m either stuck in a vehicle or in an office chair. I feel as if I’ve gone from one compromising situation to another. MAPS Symmetry would make all the difference in the world to me. Thanks for everything you guys do and keep up the good work!
Maps symmetry sounds like you made it specifically for me. If I didn’t just find out this morning I have a baby on the way, I’d be buying that program. I’ll stick to MAPS anabolic for the meantime. Freaking love this show. It’s changed my fitness journey. The gains I’ve seen from Implementing what I’ve learned from your show since February are literally night and day. Keep up the grind boys, we greatly appreciate it!!
Just discovered you guys within the past week or so. Really liking listening, I feel like I’m learning a lot. ☺️💪🏻
Love this podcast, been watching episodes every day at work. Really enjoy listing for ways to improve my technique and lifestyle. I recently started intermittent fasting a year ago January, lost 40lbs then plateaued around September of last year. I started working out, mostly weight lifting and have shed another 35lbs since then. I was 300lbs and now I am down to 215lbs, I have gained so much from this process and from listening to this podcast!
Been working on balancing for years to no avail. Multiple chiropractors, trainer advice. I work at a gym and still can’t get training just right. Been watching you guys for a good time and y’all have some of the best content!! Looking into the new program… hopefully will see results to get past this roadblock in my training :D keep up the quality!
I'd bet on you if I could put money on it
Enjoyed the discussion. I've been working on getting some semblance of symmetry back after some medical issues. Yall nailed it and how it can negatively effect you.
Guys, GUYS, GUUUUYYYSSSS, you are saving my life here! I'm doing anabolic right now and I am noticing that half of me is so much weaker than the other half ... I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSS xxxxxxx
Been following your programs for four years now and not to be cocky by I’m far more advanced with lifting then everyone around me. The best programs ever. Recorded over 18lbs of muscle growth over four years
Awesome info! I had recently noticed that I felt more of my strength in the squat coming from my right side, so I actually started doing unilateral strength training. I’ve been making the mistake of using the weight my strong side lifts, so I’ll definitely switch it up after hearing this episode! Thank you
I'm living in Dubai and Im very happy learning from you guys constantly. thank you . Im 54 years old and Im very healthy and tone than ever because I train and i eat clean and kind of watch my macros. love you guys cuz you have experience , knowledge and you are honest. You guys understand bio mechanics and how to talk to humans.
Guys are smashing it, good luck with the launch, can't wait to give it a go and have 4 weeks left of my cut the reverse dieting book couldn't have arrived at a better time.
Excellent show as always. Currently I have MAPS Anabolic, Prime and the Sexy Athlete bundle. I used to lift regularly and would often follow a 5x5 or more strength gaining programs while also trying to fight weight fluctuations. In a year I would go anywhere from 215-250. Because of life and injuries mostly to the lower back and shoulders I have cut down on my workouts/not going to the gym as a normal routine.
Right now I am hovering around 270-280 at 33% body fat. From my dieting practices, often going low calorie, I can only consume about 2200 calories for maintenance and I'm trying to reverse diet to get the calories up so its easier to maintain a certain weight.
With the amount of body fat (weight) I need to lose I'm trying to figure out how to go about losing weight so I can keep it off. Right now I'm diet wise I need to continue to try to at least eat at maintenance while slowly increasing my calories. Workout wise start back up with Anabolic supplementing Prime on trigger session days to help get form back. Once I run that I am looking at going into the symmetry program, followed by performance, back to symmetry, and then run Aesthetic.
Would love to hear if I'm on track or if I should change anything?
I’m laughing at myself because I shouldn’t be buying this program right now, but after listening to the intro I’m so excited to try it I’ll have no choice!
Thank you guys for all that you do and then some! You’ve inspired me to become a PT and I’ve been successfully running my own business for a few months now! I don’t know what I would do without you guys
Thanks for another great show. Symmetry sounds like a great program for us older folks coming back to the gym. After all the yesrs of minor injuries, tweaks, and such, we have many imbalances and poor accommodating movement patterns. Great job!
This might be my favourite episode ever!! I’m such a stickler for symmetry and I use unilateral training (beginning with the weaker side) with all my clients…it’s great to hear I’m doing it right! Love LOVE the bit on isometrics! I will definitely have to use more of these!!
My fitness knowledge has really improved since i discover you guys love the show
Hey guys thank you for your wisdom and knowledge! I have major imbalances in different parts of my body that are visible due to previous injuries and I have not been able to fix it. However, i'm going to take your advice and start doing only unilateral and isometric movements. I'm going to slow down my pace and focus on mirroring both sides. As simple as this advice is I do agree that a lot of people don't practice this unless their bodybuilders and/or competing. I'm going to stick with this method to correct my imbalances until I see some major improvements. Thanks again for the advice. Peace and blessings to you guys!❤🙏🏾💪🏾
I can't wait to get my hands on this program and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Unilateral training is something I found early on by actually watching a episode of Nitro Circus with Travis Pastrana. He was showing off his gym and a simple pulley push-up rig that he had. he talked about how he could do more push-ups on this pulley system then some of his cousins friends that were all D1 football players. After that I always tried to make sure that I was good on both sides. But have always struggled with programming a complete workout focused on it. I recently jacked up my knee and I've caught myself as I go to squat at work or working out my hip shifting to put more weight on my strong knee and it has drove me nuts. I also just recently started Performance. not knowing how to change your programming I've just lowered weight so I still had something structured to follow.
Love the show and everything fitness and lifestyle that you all preach - nothing but facts! About a month a guy one of your pods focused on size vs strength, and Adam asked the question "If you could only prescribe two programs for a full year for size and for strength, what would that look like?" I decided to dedicate the next year trying out Adam's recommended size "program" - Aesthetic + Performance for a round. Excited to get going again! But now, man, Symmetry seems like it is going to be awesome. Keep up the great content, fellas!
Found the podcast because of a TikTok video during the pandemic and have absolute loved it! I always thought going to 90 degrees on a squat meant perfect form but after listening to you guys for almost 2 years I have increased my range of motion in all my lifts! I feel absolutely amazing! Thanks for the fantastic information you guys put out! Super excited to further increase my performance through this program 😎
I’m 40 years old, have been training for 20+ years but feel like I need a program like yours to complement/advance what I’ve been doing. This new program seems perfect, because as I get older the symmetry portion of this could really balance out my weaknesses. Thank you for all you do!! I watch you guys constantly!
Love all the content and programs ! Part of the reason I pulled the trigger on being a personal trainer was because of yall. Prime and Prime Pro for myself and my clients has been awesome. Not alot of people talk about fitness and overall health with the same level of depth and wisdom you guys do, it is greatly appreciated.
I may be a new viewer, but as a 28 year old that never focused on mobility and 'the bigger picture' of my health, this show is a breath of fresh air. Great conversations with lots of great advice! I wish 18 year old me reading bodybuilding articles would've stumbled across this show!
If you train to look good you'll never feel good, train to feel good and you'll always look good.
Wow I’m in guys, I’m hitting the button on it as we speak even just for the guides.
Great episode. My profession (Flooring) has me hunched over on my knees for 6-9 hrs a day, causing my mobility suffer and I've developed a few imbalances. Been following you guys for about 2 years trying to gain knowledge on this particular topic. No previous Maps experience.
Loved the podcast! Perfect balance of functional ability and aesthetics. It's so easy to keep doing things that we're good at, and neglect the ones we're not.
Another motivation to get started into practicing unilateral movements!
Thanks a bunch you guys for pushing the best information and content for us!
I’ve been binge watching your episodes for the past 6months! I’ve even got my wife watching which says a lot about you all and the content you create! I am a 35 years old Dad of twin boys and have struggled to maintain a healthy life. Until I found MindPump!! You all literally saved my life! I was pre-diabetic, obese and was losing hope. I found you all, threw the scale, started weight training and a miracle happened! Pants size went from 35 to 32 and I more muscular than I’ve ever been! Thank you for all you do! Seriously changing lives!
I’ve done MAPS split and have been listening to these guys for 2 years. I have seen nothing but results. I actually use a lot of the information from this podcast and pass it on to my clients. If you are in a plateau or need specific information this podcast is the answer.
Wish I had found you guys before I started weight lifting 5 years ago. Learnt so much in afew weeks watching mindpump then 5 years of watching random lifting channels. If only I knew then what I know now.
Thank you for your raw truths and the entertainment!!
6 months into my fitness journey and you guys are exactly what I needed for learning and growing!!
Love this show man! I’ve been waiting for something like symmetry! Look good and move well! Been working out for 4 years and just started seeing real results this year. It’s a lifelong pursuit
Looooooove Mind Pump!!! Found you guys during Covid. I have learned more in these past few years from your podcast and videos, than I have in my entire years of fitness! Definitely will incorporate isometric training in my life. My health IS my wealth... Thank you guys for sharing the wealth!🥰
Always an informative listen and I love how its appropriate for new lifters and advanced trainers.
How can you not like the idea behind the MAPS program?!? Symmetry is so much more than just looking good, it dives deep and helps you improve those weak areas and create an amazing base to build off of. Thank you sharing guys!
Love what you guys are doing. As a retired rugby player, I have some nagging injuries that have really made getting back into lifting a challenge. I was chasing a pump and reps while sacrificing technique too which didn’t help. I think this program could really help me. I plan on picking it up later this week when I’m paid. Thanks guys!!
This is too funny I just started doing 5 x 5 with over coming isometrics on my off days as a primer. Love the show.
It is great to listen to you all and the great knowledge you share to the MP community. Excited to see what MAPS Symmetry will do for everyone. 😊
Show is awesome, always learning something new! And something cool
My right shoulder has always been higher than my left one, and it’s so frustrating. I’ve tried so many stretches that I’ve found online and even gone to a physical therapist, but nothing has worked. I’m hoping I can win this program to hopefully fix it. I would be even more grateful for you guys. Thanks!
Been lifting since I was 17 ( now I’m 38) but really felt connected and getting serious with increasing strength and gaining muscle the last 2years - guess when I started to listen to this pod cast!?! You guys have changed the game for me and I am always learning new ways to up my training. So much more to learn. Thanks for keeping me educated and motivated 💕 💪
This is just the perfect timing. I noticed a hip shift in my squat last Thursday. This episode already helped me a lot to understand how to approach my imbalances. Thank you!
Ever since I found out about mind pump My clients Have seen amazing Results and Have saw Me grow much more as A Trainer. In college I always used To Train my Friends free of charge with the little information I learned but I knew I had so much more to learn. The hardest part was time! Working part time while being a Full time student is Pretty time consuming . Luckily I found out About the podcast . I remember being in all my classes with AirPods listening to the show every single day all day long. The information & knowledge I’ve gained and passed on is So useful. You guys keep me motivated and I’m glad I chose this career path because of trainers/ coaches like you Guys!
Today’s podcast felt like you guys were talking directly to me. I had a knee injury 10 years ago that seemed so insignificant that I did not seek treatment. I have gotten X-rays since then, but no problem was diagnosed. I accepted years ago that I would no longer perform barbell squats since my knee would pop on every rep. Today I became more conscious of just how much I use my right knee to compensate for the weakness in my left knee. I completely overlooked the possibility of isometric exercises to regain strength and symmetry. I added some to my workout this afternoon, and have a renewed hope that I might be able to perform squats again in the near future.
Big fan! Love the science based approach. Lifting and liberty is where it’s at. Appreciate all the good solid information. You guys rock!!
Recently got MAPS Starter and I'm kicking off phase 1 tomorrow!! Here's to waking upright #MorgningGains
Omg!! I need the MAPS symmetry! I've had 2 back surgeries and getting back into lifting and having heck of a time training the side where the injury was.
Boys, your work is unapparelled by anyone on the Web. 60 years young, using your advise and programs to transform into the 30 year old man I used to be. Your no nonsense approach and honesty is truly refreshing to us all.
I just saw your book in B&N yesterday as I browsed the shelves. I was like “Oh Sh%*! I listen to this guy on the daily!”
Looking forward to this new MAPS Sym..
Thanks to your podcast and programs I was able to deadlift 165lbs 3x8 which I never thought I’d be able to do! I’m a 5’4 120lb woman!
I've hit a hard spot in my journey and I've been having a hard time to want to keep moving toward a healthier lifestyle, but what's been keeping me going is what you guys always say about the real changes being made when you aren't super motivated to change.
Looking forward to this episode and good idea to make a symmetry only episode. Always great advice and points to apply. Thank you. Keep it up guys!
Of course I’d love to win mapssymetry but regardless, I can’t even explain how much Mindpump from your podcast to the TH-cam channel has helped me out tremendously!!! I suffered from injury’s issues with gut health and other personal issues and I can honestly say I’m a walking testimony on how much you guys helped me out!! You and your team are truly genuine. And I just want to say thank you!!!! I love you guys!!! Mindpump!!!
Isometrics are really helping me right now gain the mind-muscle connection with my chest and I have noticed more muscle growth in 2 weeks than I ever have before. Plus that Symmetry program looks sweet.
Thank y'all for the knowledge. I'm finally getting back into fitness after a couple of years, ex athlete so I'm thankful for the switch up y'all are bringing with this new program. Keep bringing that heat!!!!!! Peace, Love, and Blessings to all
🙏🏽 Thanks to the crew for another informative and entertaining episode. Much respect for producing additional episodes on these topics and throwing show notes at us as a bonus. Top notch fellas. If you don’t know, then get with it. These guys are the best in the biz 💥!!!
This is just AMAZING! loved the content!!! 🤯😍
Wow the new program sounds awesome and the reverse dieting ebook is just what I’ve been looking for. I swear it’s so hard to heal a damaged metabolism especially when you are afraid to gain body fat. I pray y’all pick this comment lol
Symmetry oh how I want you, but also fear you. Work slow to shape fast. Feel the burn 😝. Love the show guys. Keep up the great content!
Just recently came across your content about a month or so ago and have been doing the deep dive ever since. I’ve been working out since I was a teen (now in my 40’s) and am consistently amazed at how much I was doing wrong or not doing at all. Thanks for all the knowledge and inspiration.
I enjoy the realistic topics and support to progress that you guys offer
Your show has helped me get back into working out again. I packed on twelve pounds of muscle back on in a month after taking a year off entirely of weight lifting. (230# a year ago, down to 202# back up to 215#. Lived mostly in a deficit for that year) I have been looking for a program and this symmetry program is incredibly intriguing! Keep doing what you guys are doing, you are helping more people than you know!
🤯 I have partially torn and/or torn labrums in my shoulders. It’s my weak point but I was the typical start with my stronger side and try to match it with the other side. Changing that moving forward!
Keep up the good work guys. Your format makes it feel like I’m just hanging out with the boys and discussing how to get better!
What’s up guys. I really enjoy the show because you guys all speak from a level of high intelligence and experience. What I like most about it, is how you really simplify the science around health and wellness for the average Joe. Every time I watch the podcast, I leave with some new obtained knowledge and gems. If I am selected for your program, I’ll document my progress and create a TH-cam channel to show others.
Love the pod! I really enjoy how you all go past just weight training discussion during the pod. Love it
Always such a nice content 💪 I listen from Al over the Canary Islands. Helping me a lot with my progress
I’m currently working on phase two of MAPS Aesthetic, and I am loving it! It is so much fun to see how fast I am progressing. I am changing physically and feeling strong while in my cut. It’d be awesome to do MAPS Symmetry while I’m maintaining in the summer, so I can main-gain and fix my squat plateau. 🤩
45 yr old male here, not "unfit" but about 10kg overweight so want to bring that down to a more reasonable level and get a healthy dad bod. Been listening for about last 6 months (and hammering through interesting looking back episodes), learning a lot about fitness and enjoying the banter you all do as well 😃
Another quality episode!
Maybe in the near future you guys could do an episode regarding isometrics. How to correctly utilize it and how to fit in your routine/program and the best isometrics exercise for each body part.
More power to the MindPump team!
Great podcast! Perfect as I'm coming out of a hip injury due to an imbalance in my hip symmetry left to right as well as weaker glutes. This program would be perfect! Not currently in a position to purchase it as a working student but taking everything I can from your podcasts... I'm like considering spending $97 not in my budget on this because it's something I've been tryyying to fix but not sure where to go with.
You guys keep on doing it! This is fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Brilliant episode! I noticed some strenght inbalances between my right and left arm some time ago and I was wondering how to correct this issue. Now I know what I shlould do. Thank you very much for your advices, guys. The new program MAPS Symmetry will be great, I am sure! ❤️
